SPOILER The man who said it may not have meant it himself, but that does not mean we are lying when we say it ourselves. When I say "In justice we trust," I mean it!
I was reading an article from before this game came out and they were talking about how this new detective Fulbright is "a man of many emotions" and how you'll see him "expressing his feelings in a very exaggerated manner". Ohoho those clever bastards.
This games don't caught me off guard very often. But when Phoenix started thinking "who could be the only person capable at that time", and HE appeared... well I fucking screamed a loud "no.
The way the reveal is handled is so goddamn great. Phoenix and Edgeworth together have finally realized the truth: that the killer from seven years ago has struck again, and that whoever had the ladder lowered is a double murderer and international spy. Then suddenly we flash back to that one seemingly insignificant line from Case 4: "So I lowered the emergency ladder like the detective in charge told me to." And in that moment, it clicks for both Phoenix and the player. The courtroom is dead silent; even the text boxes have ceased to beep. Phoenix declares that there is only one possible culprit... Cue a picture of the smiling face of Bobby Fulbright.
@@davidlarocque5848 This IMO is one of the most terrifying case ever with the most mess-up villain, like it's basically a horror mystery at this point. Yeah sure the game itself is not as good as Miles Edgeworth series but... after discovering how cruel this guy was for this particular case alone.
Thank god i only saw the in justice we trusted comment i thought he would only get accused for forged evidence or something and we would forgive him DID NOT EXPECT WHAT HAPPENED
The fact that it took a while for them to identify Fulbright's body makes me sad. Kinda implies that for such a lovable character, it's like nobody missed the real him. And, if the phantom likes to make his disguises as authentic as possible, it means that the real fulbright was every inch as enthusiastic and goofy as the phantom made the detective out to be. Idk man I'm just deep in my feelings for this stupid himbo whom i miss a lot

@@sceles4140 it was told that the body they found a year ago was identified as the real Bobby Fullbright. Yeah I don't think we even met him at some point. Maybe not even at the dlc case
When he poked his head out of the window and called back to Athena, I fell in love. That DLC case is a very good on-the-verge case for him, especially after you know what's happening at the end.
i HATED bobby at first, but then after a while, his antics and mannerisms just wormed their way into my heart and he became my favorite character. and then the ending happened.
@@skissors bruh same. Fulbright was my favorite character. He was just so adorable and funny,too bad he got sacrificed for plot purposes. Kinda wish it was someone else
SPOILER: Although some people hate Mr Fulbright - *looks at Simon Blackquill* - and others love him for being so random and hammy, when you realise he's a fake, it's all the more sad, that there really was a detective and police officer as dedicated and as enthusiastic about justice as he was before the phantom killed him. He's as calm and collected as a jelly dancing the polka but he's so genuine and well-meaning you can't help but like him.
Phantom didn't kill fulbright, he died in an accident and his corpse was disfigured beyond recognition. Phantom just took advantage of fulbright's identity and occupation as a detective.
@@espio329 yes it wasnt stated that Phantom killed Fulbright, but that doesnt outright deny the fact that the Phantom could have possibly killed Fulbright for his role as a detective which could make him be closer to Prosecutor Blackquill
@@espio329 pure conjecture. If Fulbright died in an accident, and the body was disfigured beyond recognition, why would the Phantom use him as a disguise? He wouldn’t know if Fulbright was dead, so why not murder someone else and use THEM as a cover?
@@marcusvergara6193 **Objection!** Ah but you see Mr. Bruh that's exactly the point *How did the phantom know Bobby was dead?* If the body was disfigured beyond recognition then The Phantom wouldn't reconize him either and disguising yourself as someone alive could end up heavily backfiring therefore.... He must have known the detective was dead because he killed him!
"Hey, you look just like me! Ha ha ha ha, did Lady Justice feel one of me wasn't enough? All right, all right, let's do it in the count of three! One... two... three! IN JUSTICE WE TR--"
SPOILERS! You know, I don't think there's conclusive evidence that the Phantom killed Bobby. He assumed his identity, yes, but all we know is that Bobby died a few years ago. There is nothing in the game to suggest that the Phantom was the one who killed him (though it's not a crazy assumption to make). Please correct me if I missed something though.
***** SPOILERS huh... idk... I thought Phantom killed him out of need. He might have been a detective before he died, and so Phantom just picked him specifically for his position and maybe personality. He needed to get access to Blackquill so he could steal back the evidence on his identity, and seriously, who would suspect a guy like Fulbright T___T Though this IS speculation, so I'm not sure if you (we) missed anything either @__@ do you think he went searching around for recently deceased people before they could be discovered to be deceased, then disposed the body? ^^' ...though, if he did dispose the body, he did a dumb job of it, since it was FOUND XD so it might be possible that he never went near Realbright's body or that he's not that competent... then again, he got stabbed in the hand by a little girl @__@ now I am really confused DX
AstorGrant LE SPOILERS It can go either way. The Phantom could have killed him and then assumed his identity, or the Phantom could have discovered that Bobby was a high-ranking detective after his death from whatever causes, assumed his position, looks, and personality, and falsified all records to his death. I imagine it would be easier if Bobby was a detective at some other precinct (like one a few states away or something) so no one would really know that he was supposed to be dead. He could get some fake documents, say "hey, I'm transferring here, here's the paperwork" and no one would really bother to look into his past. Is it ever stated that they found Bobby's body? Edgeworth says that some of his records indicated that Bobby was dead, but not that it was hidden or anything.
I didn't expect Bobby Fulbright to become my new favorite detective in AA when I first saw him. After watching his antics and hearing his theme for the first time, he somehow won my heart. The ending just made it better. IN JUSTICE WE TRUST!
Spoilers I can't decide what to feel for this character. I know I feel pretty sad for the real Bobby, and I feel like I know the character, even if we never actually met him... But it feels weird, since we never even see him, just an impression of him.
I just met this man, come here to listen to his dope theme, figure, “hey, I’ll look at the comments see if everyone else loves him as much as I do!” AND THEN, I SAW ALL THE SPOILERS, THE FRICK, IS HAPPENING TO MY PRECIOUS DETECTIVE BOY! IN JUSTICE WE TRUST!
Ace attorney fans watching a trailer for a new AA game on TH-cam then breaking into Capcom to find out the story then spoiling it in the comments on the trailer
Once I beat the game, I realized that this whole time, Bobby's catchphrase could be misconstrued the entire time. The text says "In justice we trust", but when said aloud, you could rewrite it to "Injustice we trust" which makes so much sense given the overall theme of the game.
This theme used to make me so happy then after I realized the real joyful and justice driven fulbright was long dead and mutalaited beyond recgonition long before we met his imposter, the song just gets me depressed I mean really poor guy, no one even realized what had happened untill a year later what a terrible fate for what seemed such a nice guy I have no idea why I get so depressed when I think about that still love the song though somehow
Saddly FUlbright was just another victim for the Phantom's games and deception....i bet he was a very good fella who really wanted justice to be upheld.....
scotsoulgem I don't care what the game says so I'm just going to say that in case 2 and 3 he was the actual Fulbright even though that wouldn't make sense but I don't give a fuck. Also the phantom gave me nightmares!
Seeing as the phantom sought to mimic his victims almost exactly, cases two and three were most likely fairly accurate representation of the true Fulbright.
When I had to present who was the Phantom I knew it was a detective... at first I was like "No way it's Fullbright" so I tried presenting the detective that was killed in the first case instead and I got a penalty, that's where my sadness began as I knew the only one left was Fullbright but I didn't want to believe it, he was such a nice guy and one of the best characters in the entire series, I feel empty now
yeah i presented Detective Arme too. admittedly i kept refusing to believe it was fulbright, so when blackquill faked trusting him again, i got my hopes up that it was a misunderstanding or framing or something
I did not see that one coming. Not by a long-shot. They were implying it and I was like, "No way, no way in hell is that what happened." Then it happened and I was like," Oh my God that actually happened, now I'M the one all flipped turned upside down."
@@questionmarkquestionmarkques Fulbright acts sus the whole trial and never explains why he was even on the scene of the bombing. Not to mention you can process of elimination it down to him pretty easily into the last trial.
It's kind of annoying that the mere existence of spoilers it's an spoiler itself. Like, if you say that there's spoilers regarding a character, you know that character has some kind of relevance to the plot, thus you'll be expecting something comingo from it, killing the surprise factor. Annoying but innevitable.
Wow, imagine, that would be heartbreaking, especially if say, someone were to play that game and it doesn't show what happens to him after it ends, and they go on to play Dual Destinies... Okay, this might be a bad idea.
@@enemyghost2170 I have an idea. Turnabout Vanish, where a person is found dead and unrecognizable because the body was heavily bruised, his clothes were removed and his hair was completely shaved, leaving its identity unknown. Fulbright would appear in the previous cases of the game as Gumshoe's "rival" but would be missing in this one for the past section. It would play in two different sections: the flashback and the present, similar to The Inherited Turnabout from AAI2. The case would feature a witness who saw the moment in which a person was seen killing another one (which would be the real Fulbright and the Phantom), and taking its clothes off. Later on, Edgeworth finds a strange device similar to a fotocopier on the trash, and upon examining it, it reveals data of someone having used it to copy the victim's face (Fulbright mask), but that wasn't enough to identify neither of them. The present section of the case takes place at the same time as Turnabout for Tomorrow, while Phoenix, Apollo, Athena and Simon are interrogating the fake Fulbright, the Phantom. Here, the same witness who saw the murder of the real Fulbright found new evidence: A torn Fulbright mask. They would end up discovering that the victim a year ago was the detective and that the one they were seeing is an impersonator. When they try to catch up on him, the Phantom is already in court, so Edgeworth tells Phoenix what they found out just when the grand finale of the trial seemed hopeless. This makes the Phantom do the same breakdown animation, ending the case. I would like it so that the entire game focuses on a major plot that connects all of the cases, like the smuggling ring in AAI1 or the mastermind in AAI2. In this case, it would be about finding out who is behind mysterious deaths that have no explaination.
@@luigivoncheeseburgerjenkinsiv man this would be wonderful, its so well written too, I can't think of a better synopsis for the game please tell me you've applied to Capcom we need to make this real!
Beginning of Apollo Justice: how could they replace Gumshoe with Ema? She was so annoying in Rise from the Ashes! End of Apollo Justice: Ema can stay. She's no Gumshoe, but she's pretty good. Beginning of Dual Destinies: Why'd they make a new detective when they have Gumshoe and Ema? This dude is so annoying, too! End of Dual Destinies: Bring back Bobby! IN JUSTICE WE TRUST!
This characters fate is even sadder once you realize the phantom was imitating him perfectly. The real Bobby Fulbright really this happy go lucky and kind to others. And no one ever noticed it wasn’t him. That’s flipping sad.
Bobby Fullbright: Brilliant, shiny, goofy, fun-loving, peace-keeping, happy pursuer of Justice!! In JUSTICE we TRUST!!! ..... .... .... Although, with people like him, the light shines a little too... bright. It makes it hard to stare at him face to face.
I realy hope in the future game someone will channel him Man i don't care what the context is but i just wanna see him again and hear he say "IN JUSTICE WE TRUST" again
I was looking for pictures of Bobby in order to make a meme to express how much I love this guy, at the moment I'm at the first day of investigation of the final case from DD I was happy to see ma boi's shiny smile in his wiki file, then scrolled down a bit... NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO I could feel a part of my heart breaking into pieces
Aaaaaaand then... we have.. I'm sorry, what's your name again? Apollo? Okey-dokey. Apoollloooooo Justicceeee! But seriously though, we have PHOENIX WRIGHT, EVERYBODY! *Apollo dies in corner*
SPOILER: When I first saw Fulbright, I didn't really know what to think of him. I started to like him after a while. When I saw him return in the third case I was pretty happy. At a certain moment, someone asked him to lower something. I didn't know he was inside of there and when I suddenly saw his face outside of the window, a smile appeared on my face. He became my favorite character in the game. But then the last case happened. HOLY CRAP! I never expected this of him. This guy turned out to be the phantom, and not only that! Bobby Fulbright was actually dead and this guy was just an imposter. I was really shocked by this and couldn't believe that Fulbright was the phantom at first. My favorite character in the game turned out to be a bad guy. I still can't believe it. Good job, game.
This is EXACTLY what happened to me! I started to love his character... and then BOOM (pun intended) the last case happened... I was so shocked! Kinda disappointed that we couldn't see the face of the phantom... Also I wonder if the real Bobby Fulbright was like the way phantom acted... probably...
As soon has he bought that lighter to court I had a horrible gut feeling, damn you ace attorney for making such a lovable character and then doing this
just that scene of athene screaming "Is anybody there?!" and then bobby just came out of the window that was so good also why is klavier twice as big on the cover bobby is so much more important hes the reason most of these cases even happened ( friendly reminder take the stairs or you might die )
Dammit game....you just had to make me get the feels for this guy.... This one was the ONE plot twist that I didn't see coming....I really hate you for that one capcom.
For some reason during the second case I mixed up the opening cutscene murderer to be Fool Bright and not the perfume dude!! So I was all like "Dude they're making the detective the bad guy?? Woah!" Until I saw Le Belle. And because of that mistake I got a false sense of security that there was no way he could be the baddie EVER! I did not suspect him once until they explicitly said "a detective made people go up the ladder..." O~O We trusted you! And you played us... like a foooooool~
I just remember searching him online and the wiki page said “WAS a detective” and it was like, what?? Does he sacrifice himself in the name of justice? It sounds like something he’d do. Stuck with me for the entire case. That betrayal ruined me. On the edge of my seat
@@ureehueurv Spoiler alert even though this comment section is already full of them and/or you probably already saw my response: We're talking about Fullbright here. He and the phantom are two completely different people. Besides, he had already been dead for one year when the last case happened
Honestly, Fulbright was someone I suspected before there was even anything worth suspecting about him. The mere fact that they brought in a new Gumshoe and that they had never done a villain detective before made me incredibly incredulous of him. All of that is to say that over the course of the game, I genuinely fell for him. He wasn't my favourite AA character, or even my favourite new character from Dual Destinies, but he had this charm to him that eventually rubbed off on me. Especially with things like him popping his head through the window at the academy and accompanying Wright during the hostage situation. It's almost a similar effect to the killer from Persona 4 for me, where seeing such a previously goofy character get so horrifically warped was heartbreaking. But unlike P4's killer, Fulbright will never get a chance to fully embrace himself. The real Bobby was dead for a year by that point and I can't imagine the phantom ever found any kind of solace if he did survive to his own trial. Dual Destinies is probably one of the more subtly dark games in the franchise, between the gore, the recurring themes of terrorism and corruption, and the entirety of the HAT-1 Incident. Before playing it, I never really got why it ended up with a higher age rating than any other game in the series, but after actually playing it, I can understand now.
In courtroom Simon : *gives cue to come in to present investigation detail* Bobby : "in justice we trust!" then *sad face* Simon : .........Fool Bright....... Hahaha that moment made me like them both
I was _so_ pulling for Bobby to be falsely accused and redeemed by the phantom-made-me-do-it shtick. Though, when an affable, goofy _Ace Attorney_ character suddenly becomes serious and starts belittling the defense, you know it's over. It took the wind out of the game's sail for me.
SPOILERS AHEAD! The real sad part is that there was once a Bobby Fulbright just like how the Phantom impersonated him. Someone with such a devotion to justice and this much of a good man. Just knowing the revelation behind who Fulbright is just broke my heart completely. Gumshoe will always be my favorite detective, but Fulbright, the real one that is, is a very close second.
The picture in this video really does well in showcasing the role full-bright played in the game. He’s in the far back and not drawing too much attention to himself and you’re too focused on the other characters to realize what he’s up to.
Spoilers for case 5: If the Phantom can perfectly pose as anyone he disguises as, that means for a moment, the real Bobby Fulbright was truly there for all those cases. His true personality we've known Fulbright for. But he's been dead. Dead for an entire year. The real Fulbright that the Phantom perfectly mimicked, the one we grew to love, was left rotting somewhere for an entire year.
*SPOILER* I wonder if it's occurred to anyone that with all these spoiler alerts popping everywhere on Fulbright's theme, people are bound to figure out something's wrong with the guy, right...?
It would've been interesting if Cases 2, 3 and 6 had "Fulbright" and only Cases 1, 4 and 5 had "Fool Bright". That way, the blur between genuine and fake would've made the resolution a bit more tragic in the end.
+CelestiaLily I honestly thought that was what happened at first due to running into some spoilers. So when Phoenix and Athena were discussing how different Fulbright was behaving in case 4, I assumed that was when he had been replaced by the Phantom. It also would have made more sense for his body to be identified at that very convenient moment if it were a mere few days after his death as opposed to a whole year. It was a missed opportunity. That could have been really interesting.
It went exactly the same for me. I ran into spoilers about his final breakdown, so when I got to case 4 I assumed he was an imposter from that moment onwards. But I actually preferred how he was the Phantom all along since case 2. The real one being replaced by an imposter at the same moment Athena noticed something different would've been too predictable. Having us players realize we were fooled all along, without ever having met an actual affable/dorky Fulbright, but just an emotionless imposter since the beginning, was much more interesting in my opinion.
It would have been better if the very first time you met him in the fox chamber it was the real guy but after he left while Athena and apollo were investigating he was replaced so the first interaction with fakebright would be him telling Apollo about Simon I doubt athena would have noticed a difference and you still would have been able to meet the real guy at least once
I agree, it would have been a good lampshade, first the player would realize that he was acting weird, buy maybe brush it off as Cases 1,4 and 5 were more serious than Cases 2 and 3 that were more lighthearted/comedic.
1st time seeing this Fulbright: "Oh is this guy just the shitty replacement for Gumshoe" 15th time: "FUCK YEAH IN JUSTICE WE TRUST" Coming back after beating the game: "haha you fucking pricks"
I was so mad about this. They managed to do that twist the exact moment I started to think "Y'know, this guy's really grown on me, maybe he's a worthy successor to Gumshoe after all". Those bastards. Those absolute bastards.
Whenever I'm studying or something and this pops up, I have to stop and change the track. I cannot concentrate, it's the authentic sound of betrayal lol
Oh look another spoiler I teared up at the end when "Bobby" wasn't the real Bobby I loved throughout the game and I still feel hurt when they proclaimed he was dead a year ago. If that's how he acted with his quirky, lovable personality beforehand then I really enjoyed him and I will still love him (the real fulbright) even though he's long gone now. But in the end, i'm quite glad the real fulbright never did any of what had happened in case 4 (because i knew that persona never even suit him in the first place :/)
This theme is easily my favorite in the entire ost, and Fulbright was one of my favorite characters! I didnt really like him or his theme at first, but he grew on me. So the ending caused me pain :'D
+The Ironic Monster Yeah, that would have been way more satisfying! Maybe he could have been replaced during the middle of a case, and there are amazingly subtle clues that something is wrong, but you probably wouldn't notice because Fulbright acts so strangely anyway and you probably have plenty to think about regarding the case. Regardless, having us actually meeting Fulbright makes the whole twist more emotionally fucked up.
+The Ironic Monster I actually heard about Fulbright dying before I played Dual Destinies, but I assumed he died at some point during the game rather than before it. So when Phoenix and Athena talk about how "suspiciously helpful" Fulbright was during 5-4 and how different he seemed to be acting, I took that as him having just been killed and replaced by the Phantom. Also, it would have made more sense for the police to have just found and identified the real Fulbright's body if he had been killed recently than for them to conveniently identify him one year after, VERY conveniently right when the Phantom happens to be in court. Honestly, us seeing the real Fulbright before he got murdered would have been so much better, it was serious missed potential.
But then it would make the ending just "meh", knowing Fulbright died, its better now, you start loving Foolbright through the game, so the ending hurts more
Spoilers: Recently finished the game, Throughout the game I really liked Fulbright and all I was saying to him was "Damn, he's on par with Gumshoe in my most favorite detectives in the game." Then Case 5 appeared and oh I was so surprised with the twist. But it still didn't change the fact that I like Fulbright as a detective since the phantom could easily copy someone's way of talking and moving, meaning that the Fulbright we all know and love is the same Fulbright that died 1 year ago and that Fulbright is still my favorite detective along with Gumshoe.
The Ace Attorney detective cycle >shows up >(Start of the game)"I fucking hate this asshole" >(End of the game) "HEL YEA COMMON VES T. GATOR W!" >(Next game) Bring back Ves, this new guy can jump in a hole End of next game:
Fulbright js a cheery detective who believes in Justice. We can see that the actual fulbright was actually the exact same the phantom was portraying. So in reality, he is full if emotions

I know right? Tbh I wish it was Woods instead but the phantom was a guy so :/
@@skissors bruh same. Fulbright was my favorite character. He was just so adorable and funny,too bad he got sacrificed for plot purposes. Kinda wish it was someone else
SPOILER:
Although some people hate Mr Fulbright - *looks at Simon Blackquill* - and others love him for being so random and hammy, when you realise he's a fake, it's all the more sad, that there really was a detective and police officer as dedicated and as enthusiastic about justice as he was before the phantom killed him. He's as calm and collected as a jelly dancing the polka but he's so genuine and well-meaning you can't help but like him.
Phantom didn't kill fulbright, he died in an accident and his corpse was disfigured beyond recognition. Phantom just took advantage of fulbright's identity and occupation as a detective.
@@espio329 yes it wasnt stated that Phantom killed Fulbright, but that doesnt outright deny the fact that the Phantom could have possibly killed Fulbright for his role as a detective which could make him be closer to Prosecutor Blackquill
also because of phantom impersonate people exactly like what they are, we can conclude that Fulbright was a great detective who seek justice
@@espio329 pure conjecture. If Fulbright died in an accident, and the body was disfigured beyond recognition, why would the Phantom use him as a disguise? He wouldn’t know if Fulbright was dead, so why not murder someone else and use THEM as a cover?
@@marcusvergara6193
**Objection!**
Ah but you see Mr. Bruh that's exactly the point *How did the phantom know Bobby was dead?* If the body was disfigured beyond recognition then The Phantom wouldn't reconize him either and disguising yourself as someone alive could end up heavily backfiring therefore....
He must have known the detective was dead because he killed him!
"Hey, you look just like me! Ha ha ha ha, did Lady Justice feel one of me wasn't enough? All right, all right, let's do it in the count of three! One... two... three! IN JUSTICE WE TR--"
Too soon, bro.
Too soon...
I even saw a fanart with this caption on tumblr O___O T______T
SPOILERS!
You know, I don't think there's conclusive evidence that the Phantom killed Bobby. He assumed his identity, yes, but all we know is that Bobby died a few years ago. There is nothing in the game to suggest that the Phantom was the one who killed him (though it's not a crazy assumption to make). Please correct me if I missed something though.
*****
SPOILERS
huh... idk... I thought Phantom killed him out of need. He might have been a detective before he died, and so Phantom just picked him specifically for his position and maybe personality. He needed to get access to Blackquill so he could steal back the evidence on his identity, and seriously, who would suspect a guy like Fulbright T___T
Though this IS speculation, so I'm not sure if you (we) missed anything either @__@
do you think he went searching around for recently deceased people before they could be discovered to be deceased, then disposed the body? ^^'
...though, if he did dispose the body, he did a dumb job of it, since it was FOUND XD so it might be possible that he never went near Realbright's body or that he's not that competent... then again, he got stabbed in the hand by a little girl @__@
now I am really confused DX
AstorGrant LE SPOILERS
It can go either way. The Phantom could have killed him and then assumed his identity, or the Phantom could have discovered that Bobby was a high-ranking detective after his death from whatever causes, assumed his position, looks, and personality, and falsified all records to his death. I imagine it would be easier if Bobby was a detective at some other precinct (like one a few states away or something) so no one would really know that he was supposed to be dead. He could get some fake documents, say "hey, I'm transferring here, here's the paperwork" and no one would really bother to look into his past.
Is it ever stated that they found Bobby's body? Edgeworth says that some of his records indicated that Bobby was dead, but not that it was hidden or anything.
what a nice man with a nice upbeat theme. i bet he isn't hiding any secrets
Narrator: Little did Contrainer know, "Fulbright" did, in fact, have many secrets.
I didn't expect Bobby Fulbright to become my new favorite detective in AA when I first saw him.
After watching his antics and hearing his theme for the first time, he somehow won my heart. The ending just made it better.
IN JUSTICE WE TRUST!
Game should have been called "Ace Attorney: In Justice we Trust"
Spoilers
I can't decide what to feel for this character. I know I feel pretty sad for the real Bobby, and I feel like I know the character, even if we never actually met him...
But it feels weird, since we never even see him, just an impression of him.
Injustice we trust!
JXZX1 Did you mean Injustice?
"No! Don't throw the book at me!"
"Ugh... Tell me the phantom didn't just make me set up a stupid pun for him."
I just met this man, come here to listen to his dope theme, figure, “hey, I’ll look at the comments see if everyone else loves him as much as I do!” AND THEN, I SAW ALL THE SPOILERS, THE FRICK, IS HAPPENING TO MY PRECIOUS DETECTIVE BOY! IN JUSTICE WE TRUST!
in justice... this man used to trust
@@spamfolder2497 injustice we trust
seems that you came too early man..
i feel yuo man, i am yet to play a single case in the entire franchise that hasnt been spoiled yet
Ace attorney fans watching a trailer for a new AA game on TH-cam then breaking into Capcom to find out the story then spoiling it in the comments on the trailer
Once I beat the game, I realized that this whole time, Bobby's catchphrase could be misconstrued the entire time. The text says "In justice we trust", but when said aloud, you could rewrite it to "Injustice we trust" which makes so much sense given the overall theme of the game.
oh my god
"The end justfies the means"
"Injustice we trust" damn this game is really laying it thick
GOD DAMN IT
This theme used to make me so happy
then after I realized the real joyful and justice driven fulbright was long dead and mutalaited beyond recgonition long before we met his imposter, the song just gets me depressed
I mean really poor guy, no one even realized what had happened untill a year later
what a terrible fate for what seemed such a nice guy
I have no idea why I get so depressed when I think about that
still love the song though somehow
Saddly FUlbright was just another victim for the Phantom's games and deception....i bet he was a very good fella who really wanted justice to be upheld.....
scotsoulgem I don't care what the game says so I'm just going to say that in case 2 and 3 he was the actual Fulbright even though that wouldn't make sense but I don't give a fuck. Also the phantom gave me nightmares!
Seeing as the phantom sought to mimic his victims almost exactly, cases two and three were most likely fairly accurate representation of the true Fulbright.
Not only was the Phantom a perfect replacement... nobody cared enough to miss him, even if the Phantom DID disappear.
What a nice guy I hope he's in the next Ace Attorney game! :)
Edit: Oh
lmao
XDDD
That edit is so hilarious thank you
the edit,,,my god that’s hilarious
The realization, the irony
It's so rich
When I had to present who was the Phantom I knew it was a detective... at first I was like "No way it's Fullbright" so I tried presenting the detective that was killed in the first case instead and I got a penalty, that's where my sadness began as I knew the only one left was Fullbright but I didn't want to believe it, he was such a nice guy and one of the best characters in the entire series, I feel empty now
yeah i presented Detective Arme too. admittedly i kept refusing to believe it was fulbright, so when blackquill faked trusting him again, i got my hopes up that it was a misunderstanding or framing or something
I actually grew to like this guy. So overenthusiastic, passionate and really felt like that superhero cop that we needed despite his shortcomings.
I did not see that one coming. Not by a long-shot. They were implying it and I was like, "No way, no way in hell is that what happened." Then it happened and I was like," Oh my God that actually happened, now I'M the one all flipped turned upside down."

Everybody did :(
He is death. The real one.
He stole my heart, and then CapCom threw it in a blender
It was so fucking hilarious when he came out of the Window and you could only see him from far away in Turnabout Academy and i dont know why
Same, I had to laugh so hard at the miniature overly enthusiastic detective just cheerily popping out of that window. I love him, he's hilarious.
Then he turned himself into a detective. Funniest shit I ever seen
It's kind of annoying that the mere existence of spoilers it's an spoiler itself. Like, if you say that there's spoilers regarding a character, you know that character has some kind of relevance to the plot, thus you'll be expecting something comingo from it, killing the surprise factor. Annoying but innevitable.

That's why I waited until I completed the game to go to TH-cam
You'd kind of have to have the worst expectations and opinions of capcom to not expect any character to have spoilers, though.

@@seihaiteamfs7333 I do too, but I nevertheless ran into spoilers in the comments of Gyakuten Kenji 2 (which I had completed before) OST videos...
I hope we get to meet the real Fullbright in a game set in the past someday. He seems like he would have been a great guy.
my only hope lies in aai 3...
Wow, imagine, that would be heartbreaking, especially if say, someone were to play that game and it doesn't show what happens to him after it ends, and they go on to play Dual Destinies... Okay, this might be a bad idea.
That would by my biggest dream ;v;
@@enemyghost2170 I have an idea. Turnabout Vanish, where a person is found dead and unrecognizable because the body was heavily bruised, his clothes were removed and his hair was completely shaved, leaving its identity unknown. Fulbright would appear in the previous cases of the game as Gumshoe's "rival" but would be missing in this one for the past section. It would play in two different sections: the flashback and the present, similar to The Inherited Turnabout from AAI2. The case would feature a witness who saw the moment in which a person was seen killing another one (which would be the real Fulbright and the Phantom), and taking its clothes off. Later on, Edgeworth finds a strange device similar to a fotocopier on the trash, and upon examining it, it reveals data of someone having used it to copy the victim's face (Fulbright mask), but that wasn't enough to identify neither of them. The present section of the case takes place at the same time as Turnabout for Tomorrow, while Phoenix, Apollo, Athena and Simon are interrogating the fake Fulbright, the Phantom. Here, the same witness who saw the murder of the real Fulbright found new evidence: A torn Fulbright mask. They would end up discovering that the victim a year ago was the detective and that the one they were seeing is an impersonator. When they try to catch up on him, the Phantom is already in court, so Edgeworth tells Phoenix what they found out just when the grand finale of the trial seemed hopeless. This makes the Phantom do the same breakdown animation, ending the case.
I would like it so that the entire game focuses on a major plot that connects all of the cases, like the smuggling ring in AAI1 or the mastermind in AAI2. In this case, it would be about finding out who is behind mysterious deaths that have no explaination.
@@luigivoncheeseburgerjenkinsiv man this would be wonderful, its so well written too, I can't think of a better synopsis for the game please tell me you've applied to Capcom we need to make this real!

SPOILER:
When I first saw Fulbright, I didn't really know what to think of him. I started to like him after a while. When I saw him return in the third case I was pretty happy. At a certain moment, someone asked him to lower something. I didn't know he was inside of there and when I suddenly saw his face outside of the window, a smile appeared on my face. He became my favorite character in the game. But then the last case happened.
HOLY CRAP! I never expected this of him. This guy turned out to be the phantom, and not only that! Bobby Fulbright was actually dead and this guy was just an imposter. I was really shocked by this and couldn't believe that Fulbright was the phantom at first. My favorite character in the game turned out to be a bad guy. I still can't believe it. Good job, game.
This is EXACTLY what happened to me! I started to love his character... and then BOOM (pun intended) the last case happened... I was so shocked! Kinda disappointed that we couldn't see the face of the phantom... Also I wonder if the real Bobby Fulbright was like the way phantom acted... probably...
TheBilli96 Yeah, I wanted to see the phantom's face too!
+TheBilli96 I wish he didn't die a whole year before the game. I would've loved to see Gumshoe and Fulbright work together.
+ZachAttack!1! Yes!
Actually, in Case 2.
The REAL Fulbright is still alive back then.
So if you want a Gumshoe and Fulbright action, make it in between Case 2 and Case 3.

+Sebastian Debeste
Booooooo!
Surprise
Wake up, and smell the justice.
For some reason during the second case I mixed up the opening cutscene murderer to be Fool Bright and not the perfume dude!! So I was all like "Dude they're making the detective the bad guy?? Woah!" Until I saw Le Belle. And because of that mistake I got a false sense of security that there was no way he could be the baddie EVER! I did not suspect him once until they explicitly said "a detective made people go up the ladder..." O~O We trusted you! And you played us... like a foooooool~
I just remember searching him online and the wiki page said “WAS a detective” and it was like, what?? Does he sacrifice himself in the name of justice? It sounds like something he’d do. Stuck with me for the entire case. That betrayal ruined me. On the edge of my seat
"We have been tricked, back stabbed, and quite possibly... Bamboozled"
me while playing through case 5 at first: yknow, detective fulbright is my favorite character
me after case 5: fuck you.
Fulbright really meant "injustice, we trust"!

i was wrong.
he is one of the cleverest villains
@@ureehueurv But he was not a villain
@@Puffman728 he literally killed both metis and clay, how is he not a villain?
@@ureehueurv Spoiler alert even though this comment section is already full of them and/or you probably already saw my response:
We're talking about Fullbright here. He and the phantom are two completely different people. Besides, he had already been dead for one year when the last case happened
@@Puffman728 I thought we were talking about the phantom disguised as fulbright since the main comment is talking about him
"So I lowered the emergency ladder like the detective leading the evacuation told me to"
The haunting words.
Honestly, Fulbright was someone I suspected before there was even anything worth suspecting about him. The mere fact that they brought in a new Gumshoe and that they had never done a villain detective before made me incredibly incredulous of him. All of that is to say that over the course of the game, I genuinely fell for him. He wasn't my favourite AA character, or even my favourite new character from Dual Destinies, but he had this charm to him that eventually rubbed off on me. Especially with things like him popping his head through the window at the academy and accompanying Wright during the hostage situation. It's almost a similar effect to the killer from Persona 4 for me, where seeing such a previously goofy character get so horrifically warped was heartbreaking.
But unlike P4's killer, Fulbright will never get a chance to fully embrace himself. The real Bobby was dead for a year by that point and I can't imagine the phantom ever found any kind of solace if he did survive to his own trial. Dual Destinies is probably one of the more subtly dark games in the franchise, between the gore, the recurring themes of terrorism and corruption, and the entirety of the HAT-1 Incident. Before playing it, I never really got why it ended up with a higher age rating than any other game in the series, but after actually playing it, I can understand now.
Foolbright had us all fooled.
I was genuinely taken aback by the twist but my god, it was a good one.
...I liked my justice boy Fulbright too...
I was so happy when hearing this song at the beginning of the game, now that I finished it I just cry every time I hear it....
Bobby Fulbright has a delivery, and the return address is "JUSTICE"!
In courtroom
Simon : *gives cue to come in to present investigation detail*
Bobby : "in justice we trust!" then *sad face*
Simon : .........Fool Bright.......
Hahaha that moment made me like them both
I was _so_ pulling for Bobby to be falsely accused and redeemed by the phantom-made-me-do-it shtick. Though, when an affable, goofy _Ace Attorney_ character suddenly becomes serious and starts belittling the defense, you know it's over.
It took the wind out of the game's sail for me.
yeah I was hoping that it would turn out it wasn't a lie and he was really being forced to do the phantoms bidding
Yeah bobby being the phantom felt a bit pulled out of the ass ngl,
SPOILERS AHEAD!
The real sad part is that there was once a Bobby Fulbright just like how the Phantom impersonated him. Someone with such a devotion to justice and this much of a good man. Just knowing the revelation behind who Fulbright is just broke my heart completely. Gumshoe will always be my favorite detective, but Fulbright, the real one that is, is a very close second.
we need a flashback case with the REAL bobby fulbright....
One where we see my favorite Miami vice justice lovin boy.
*There is one impostor among us*
YOOOO THAT'S *SUS*
Like, man I never thought they could make us like someone and then just turn around all our emotions.
The picture in this video really does well in showcasing the role full-bright played in the game. He’s in the far back and not drawing too much attention to himself and you’re too focused on the other characters to realize what he’s up to.
Seeing everyone grieve over Fulbright is fuckin hilarious lmao
Me: Haha I love this guy, he's so wacky and fun to be around!
Me on the inside: *_you will never replace gumshoe_*
Spoilers for case 5:
If the Phantom can perfectly pose as anyone he disguises as, that means for a moment, the real Bobby Fulbright was truly there for all those cases. His true personality we've known Fulbright for. But he's been dead. Dead for an entire year. The real Fulbright that the Phantom perfectly mimicked, the one we grew to love, was left rotting somewhere for an entire year.
*SPOILER*
I wonder if it's occurred to anyone that with all these spoiler alerts popping everywhere on Fulbright's theme, people are bound to figure out something's wrong with the guy, right...?
Maybe, but I'm not sure if they'd think he is what he was found to be. ;p It's quite a leap to be honest.
That's exactly what I was thinking right now!
I literally just started the monstrous turnabout and looked up this bangin theme, not a good idea in hindsight
They shouldn't even be looking at the comments section before finishing the game
It happened with me, so yeah.
It would've been interesting if Cases 2, 3 and 6 had "Fulbright" and only Cases 1, 4 and 5 had "Fool Bright".
That way, the blur between genuine and fake would've made the resolution a bit more tragic in the end.
+CelestiaLily I honestly thought that was what happened at first due to running into some spoilers. So when Phoenix and Athena were discussing how different Fulbright was behaving in case 4, I assumed that was when he had been replaced by the Phantom. It also would have made more sense for his body to be identified at that very convenient moment if it were a mere few days after his death as opposed to a whole year.
It was a missed opportunity. That could have been really interesting.
It went exactly the same for me. I ran into spoilers about his final breakdown, so when I got to case 4 I assumed he was an imposter from that moment onwards. But I actually preferred how he was the Phantom all along since case 2.
The real one being replaced by an imposter at the same moment Athena noticed something different would've been too predictable. Having us players realize we were fooled all along, without ever having met an actual affable/dorky Fulbright, but just an emotionless imposter since the beginning, was much more interesting in my opinion.
It would have been better if the very first time you met him in the fox chamber it was the real guy but after he left while Athena and apollo were investigating he was replaced so the first interaction with fakebright would be him telling Apollo about Simon
I doubt athena would have noticed a difference and you still would have been able to meet the real guy at least once
I agree, it would have been a good lampshade, first the player would realize that he was acting weird, buy maybe brush it off as Cases 1,4 and 5 were more serious than Cases 2 and 3 that were more lighthearted/comedic.
Hearing this at the end of the last trial was terrifying
1st time seeing this Fulbright: "Oh is this guy just the shitty replacement for Gumshoe"
15th time: "FUCK YEAH IN JUSTICE WE TRUST"
Coming back after beating the game: "haha you fucking pricks"
Maaaan, imagine seeing a proper Fulbright and Gumshoe interaction... uuugghhh 😭
Everyone when they first played this game: Aw hell yeah! I love Fullbright!
Everyone after the twist: Oh...
I was so mad about this. They managed to do that twist the exact moment I started to think "Y'know, this guy's really grown on me, maybe he's a worthy successor to Gumshoe after all". Those bastards. Those absolute bastards.
The virgin Gumshoe vs the Chad Fulbright.
So to be a chad you need to kill someone? Ok I'll write that down
Whenever I'm studying or something and this pops up, I have to stop and change the track. I cannot concentrate, it's the authentic sound of betrayal lol
Fullbright's song is literally the best of all detectives intros, makes me wanna dance every time I hear it :D
Oh boy what a funny and quirky detective I sure hope he doesn't turn out to be a wolf in sheeps clothing
The ending had me in tears. I loved this character.
Yeah guys he's so innocent. Nice little justice believer. He doesn't have any ulterior motive at all
Oh look another spoiler
I teared up at the end when "Bobby" wasn't the real Bobby I loved throughout the game and I still feel hurt when they proclaimed he was dead a year ago. If that's how he acted with his quirky, lovable personality beforehand then I really enjoyed him and I will still love him (the real fulbright) even though he's long gone now. But in the end, i'm quite glad the real fulbright never did any of what had happened in case 4 (because i knew that persona never even suit him in the first place :/)
2 people got spoiled by reading the comments.
Ugh.... BOBBY T__T. My heart is still broken.
I really like it when Fulbright lifts his glasses a little
This theme is easily my favorite in the entire ost, and Fulbright was one of my favorite characters! I didnt really like him or his theme at first, but he grew on me. So the ending caused me pain :'D
would have been even cooler if he died after the second case. that woulda fucked me up by the the time the last case came up.
+The Ironic Monster Yeah, that would have been way more satisfying! Maybe he could have been replaced during the middle of a case, and there are amazingly subtle clues that something is wrong, but you probably wouldn't notice because Fulbright acts so strangely anyway and you probably have plenty to think about regarding the case. Regardless, having us actually meeting Fulbright makes the whole twist more emotionally fucked up.
+The Ironic Monster I actually heard about Fulbright dying before I played Dual Destinies, but I assumed he died at some point during the game rather than before it. So when Phoenix and Athena talk about how "suspiciously helpful" Fulbright was during 5-4 and how different he seemed to be acting, I took that as him having just been killed and replaced by the Phantom. Also, it would have made more sense for the police to have just found and identified the real Fulbright's body if he had been killed recently than for them to conveniently identify him one year after, VERY conveniently right when the Phantom happens to be in court.
Honestly, us seeing the real Fulbright before he got murdered would have been so much better, it was serious missed potential.
***** true words, my friend.
But then it would make the ending just "meh", knowing Fulbright died, its better now, you start loving Foolbright through the game, so the ending hurts more
Fulbright: In Justice we trust!!
Apollo :Yeah, "Justice"!😎
Spoilers:
Recently finished the game, Throughout the game I really liked Fulbright and all I was saying to him was "Damn, he's on par with Gumshoe in my most favorite detectives in the game." Then Case 5 appeared and oh I was so surprised with the twist. But it still didn't change the fact that I like Fulbright as a detective since the phantom could easily copy someone's way of talking and moving, meaning that the Fulbright we all know and love is the same Fulbright that died 1 year ago and that Fulbright is still my favorite detective along with Gumshoe.
