So it's been years since this video was made, and I haven't even remotely considered that not everyone watching would see exactly what I'm seeing in these breakdowns, and that just maybe an explanation for these entries would have been beneficial from the very beginning. And credit to commenter Dungeon Master for having brought this to my attention (how do I mention people by username in single comments, is that even possible?), because I certainly was too dense to notice it myself. But yeah, I'm gonna write it all down in this very comment. Also, the entries will basically be given away right below, so... spoilers for this countdown I guess (non-spoilered countdowns tend to be better, even something as bland and forgettable as this) almost four whole years later (I'm totally not utterly insane, I know): Number 15: It may not be much, but I always love to imagine this as Daryan trying to play Fruit Ninja with his hair while the background music goes mad, only for Klavier to take us home right afterwards. It was enough for me to at least put it in this list. Number 14: It goes by a bit quickly, but I always have a hearty laugh at this display. Nothing like random shit dropping on Knightley's head even though he hadn't even thrown them in the first place. Number 13: After one of the longest cases in the series, it only makes sense to end it all with finger pointing so intense that four armed guards trip all over themselves, hence why I added that here. And even more hilarious is a corrupt queen completely and utterly humiliating herself infront of everyone. However, I didn't put it any higher than this because admittedly the effect was somewhat ruined by the usage of a very unfitting sound effect the moment it zooms in on Ga'ran having completely dazed off. Number 12: It also goes by a bit quickly than I'd like, but it's still endlessly hilarious seeing the circus animals do a complete 180° on their own master after the latter spent the majority of the case taunting you all over the place (also hilariously) Number 11: Similarly to 13, it's nothing short of satisfying to see a previously imposing (if utterly ridiculous) character make a complete and utter fool of themselves infront of everyone else. But I love this one a lot more just for the ending part alone. Seeing the entire chalkboard along with Aristotle fall over and drop flat to the ground like this after you had been taunted by him for quite a while is just next level. Number 10: I think many of us can agree that this one is just legendary... althought now that I think about it, I actually prefer the option of giving Matt the "Guilty" verdict. Still, no matter which option, it's very much cathartic seeing this once blatantly hilariously evil dude have every single thing backfire on him, only to give himself even more scars than he already had. But it is only in this spot because I thought that Shelly de Killer still being at large after everything slightly lowers that catharsis, but very slightly. Number 9: Admittedly an odd choice, but this one just never fails to crack me up. It's like if "Handsome Squidward" and the Perfume Department scene from "Shanghaied" were combined in one Ace Attorney breakdown, and just for that alone I love it. Number 8: I couldn't not put this on here, it's exactly the kind of over-the-top breakdown I love to see "performed" by an equally hilarious politician literally pronounced "politician". And it's a great showcase of just how much more cinematic and creative these breakdowns have become over the years. Number 7: This is the one breakdown where some context to why I love it this much is definitely warranted (and perhaps should have been almost four years ago... lol): It may not be much on its own, but after having seen this guy actively impersonating Phoenix himself just to get someone innocent convicted, followed by one annoyingly convoluted case that doesn't seem to stop, and then after all of this having him laughably fall for an awesome bait courtesy of Phoenix, seeing Furio just lose his shit like this to the point that all of the lights break down... it made me genuinely forgive the entire case in the end. Number 6: I could never forget about this breakdown even if I actively tried to. It may go by a lot quicker than the other entries, but when someone like Damon had spent the entire case being so jovial yet terrifying from beginning to end, seeing his habit of clapping and laughing go straight over the top like this after he's been found out for good feels like a rare combination of cathartic, hilarious and disturbing at the same time. Number 5: Now to be completely honest here... I don't think I can ever top this one with any sort of explanation. It simply has to be seen in its entirety... Number 4: This one's nothing short of classic. Manfred had been a terrifyingly effective prosecutor and a worthy opponent from beginning to end, and seeing all of this happen after he essentially dug his own grave by attempting to bring down Edgeworth with the until-then still unsolved DL-6 case, and all of that by someone still new to this job makes this breakdown especially great to me. Number 3: I may not have liked this particular case that much, but I do still love this breakdown even more than Manfred's for just how brutally and intensely Kristoph loses it out of nowhere. Someone so brilliantly deceitful and chill suddenly going utterly mad to the point he seemingly becomes a Super Saiyan right then and there only to give everyone a completely deranged look, ending with him laughing madly even after this case is over in one of the most ominous ending narrations (which I for some reason didn't add here because I'm dumb like that) more than deserves to be this high up on my list. Number 2: This one is what I think really makes for a perfect "final boss breakdown" even compared to all the previous ones. It never fails to be a ominous yet cathartic ending to such an intense double-case, especially with the continuous mask changing as the Phantom, who up to this point had been a genuinely intimidating figure, completely loses it. It brings to mind these "Shapeshifting Malfunction" defeats like Shang Tsung from MK1 or Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, always been one of my favorite "villain defeat types", and I equally love it here. Number 1: He may not have been a final boss, but Roger's breakdown here just does everything beautifully in my book: The cinematics, Roger's arrogance completely fading away, the brilliant and creative showcase of how Roger really only "destroyed himself" in the end with his scheme, all of this happening after one long case with him having had the upper hand from beginning to end and just having been an awesome antagonist in general. The breakdown's ending however is what in particular makes it for me; the stage lights continually glaring at Roger as an equally great representation of how far he's fallen, ending with him just dropping to his knees. All of this is why this one is still my favorite breakdown in the entire series... ...that is of course if Mael Stronghart's breakdown from Great Ace Attorney 2 doesn't become that, which I feel like it is, but I made this video before I even saw anything about these games. So there's that, I guess.
Thanks for this, I appreciate how much effort you put into this. It's a shame that a lot of people probably wont see this, because I think it adds a lot. I didn't even think about those Spongebob episodes when I saw L'Belle's breakdown. It also explains why there were no breakdown from DGS 1 or 2. You didn't know anything about those games, so of course you didn't consider them. If I were making the list, I'd include Menimemo and Crowgrey's breakdowns.
@@dungeonmaster3464 At the very least I made sure to pin the comment and pointed out that those are the explanations, so I suppose anyone who'd want to know why and was scrolling down to the comment section to begin with might see this. Again, I could and should have just done that from the very beginning and added these reasons right in the video itself, but alas... that's now the next best thing I have to do.
Neat But, about "Shelly the killer still at large": We never knew who the phantom was taking orders from (Likely very powerful people). Presumably they didn't face any comeuppance either.
@@user-unos111 Oh yeah, how could I forget about that? Good point. I guess maybe it's because while it was very clear who Matt Engarde paid for, the Phantom's organization seemed more implied and sort of "backstory-ish" for me to be particularly "bothered" by that fact. It still genuinely felt like you really directly took down someone you can consider similar to Shelly de Killer (being gifted professionals at their work). But again, you make a good point, I just didn't notice it at all.
Very surprised that Dahlia Hawthorne isn't here. The sheer scale of a breakdown that's literally just an exorcism earns it a spot on my list, at least.
@@uberlord983 Yeah, and Dahlia's initial breakdown was really just a momentary lapse of her facade. After which she immediately recovered and basically conceded defeat against Mia.
That thinker was clearly small as shit compared to that actual murder weapon, but I can absolutely believe that dude to survive even THAT without much issue.
100% agreed. Too bad I already made this video before I saw anything about the Great Ace Attorney entries. Stronghart would have at the very least made #2 here.
Easily my favorite is Retinz's. Especially with the touches of each of the troupe masks from the three potential heirs going up in flames, then the master's and finally his own thinking it was Trucy's the true last heir He's totally wrong too and he doesn't know it. The blue one, belonging to the lady who's later become a singer (who's name I know I just can't spell right) is STILL alive. The others he rightly assumes are dead by murder except her. She left the troupe and is kind of sorta in hiding And then the spotlights shine on him blinding him with the knowledge that he's only done this to himself. He's the sole reason he's in a terrible spot right now.
Matt Engarde's was probably the most satisfying when you consider the full context. But, I loved Furio Tigre's too. Dude raged so hard he actually caused a blackout with his roaring, Now that's impressive.
Who else wouldn't like a breakdown which just shows one of our biggest childhood dreams becoming true? No I don't mean any disrespect towards teachers but I mean that almost every school has that one A-hole of a teacher who deserves getting some sense knocked into their head, Aristotle was just that but on a way different level, so of course many kids daydream of throwing chalks on that teacher and scold em while the excuse of a teacher fails to provide a 'correct' answer themselves.
Honestly, I felt bad for him during his. Broken teeth feel like overkill! He wasn't even that bad of a guy compared to most of the killers. His only other crime was accepting bribery.
I know this game, the cases, the character names, even their personalities are supposed to be funny, but I can't fathom how uncanny their "breakdowns" are they're supposed to be _just_ humans, with normal occupations, without magic or hybrids with non-human creatures, but their reactions were so dramatic, it's almost inhuman, really creepy but I love it so much 💙
The best was prosecutor Manfred von Karma with Godot being a close second. "EDGWOOOOOOOORTH!!! EDGWOOOOOOOORTH!!!" *proceeds to flatten own head* "The only time a lawyer is supposed to cry is when it is all ower..." It just sends chills down my spine remembering one of these.
I'm kind of sad not to see Yuri Cosmos' breakdown on the list, it's my favourite non-final case (technically) breakdown. Also the funniest out of every single one.
Bailiff! On your steed and after that man!! *Edgeworth watches Cosmos on a moped being chased by Meekins on a horse* "I've worked here TOO long..."@@LizzieourWorld
Phantom, Means, and Retinz were amazing! Means is legimatly trying to pass off murder with bathroom detail or a pay cut, Retinz was amazingly symbolic, and Phantom... Phantom was just horrifying! Love them!!!
Kinda surprised Dahlia didn't even Crack the top 5, much less the list. Her whole breakdown was her cursing Mia and then getting dragged into Hell through basically an exorcism
Honestly I don’t think Retinz had the best breakdown, but he’s one of my all time not main characters based on the fact that I DID NOT see him being Mr Reus, exact opposite personalities which I should have thought about, but seriously if they made this guy more evil and not just spiteful he would have been a final end game ace attorney villain
I think that Keyes' breakdown/the animals' breakdown had the biggest moment for me because it shows that the animals are smarter than they let on. They knew that Simon was, in technicality, the 'bad guy' here. At least that's my theory.
My ranking would be : 15) Luke Atmey (T&T) 14) Daryan Crescend (AJ) 13) Horace Knightley (I2) 12) Jacques Portsman (I1) 11) Aristotle Means (DD) 10) Simon Keyes (I2) 9) Phantom (DD) 8) Calisto Yew (I1) 7) Kristoph Gavin (AJ) 6) Dahlia Hawthorne (T&T) 5) Damon Gant (AA) 4) Matt Engarde (JFA) 3) Roger Retinz (SOJ) 2) Manfred Von Karma (AA) And of course... 1) Godot (T&T)
I love ga’ran’s the most, because when Apollo points the finger all of the guards, just forget their guards and start spinning around And it’s hilarious
The fact the Mr. Reus mask does the Majora's Mask giggle makes it for me. Like naw, dude... You did this all on your own. Got kicked out of the Troupe? Your fault. Stained your legacy by killing your no. 1 fan? Your fault. You wanna be Mr. Reus forever? You got it, but you'll be forever known as an arrogant, childish, and murderous creature undeserving of pity or mercy.
Gotta love how most of those breakdown might not even happen and it's just everything witnessing the culprit experiencing a mental breakdown with themselves On another note, I am surprised there is nothing from the great ace attorney, the absolute final culprit's breakdown is probably my most favourite
I suppose it makes sense that most of the "Final Boss" breakdowns are on the list. In fact I think the only ones missing are Dalia's, AA Investigation 1's villain, and the Great Ace Attorney's. Given, I guess that means only 6/10 are on the list. I sort of wish you put in explanations for why you put certain entries on the list and what put entries above each other. I get that it's your list and your opinions, but you also mentioned in the description that part of your rating is in how big an impact they had on you. I don't know what impact the cases had on you, and a big part of the breakdown is the case leading up to it. Yeah, the breakdowns are cool, but looking at them out of context takes them out of the case. So part of what makes them awesome is lost in translation.
Yeah that's a very good point, I could have at least put a few lines for those entries, but I must have taken for granted a bit too much that watchers would see what I'm seeing in these. Now I could still write down these explanations in the description, but I'm not exactly sure how many people will stop to look up a video's description in the middle of watching a video. Still, I could do that or write a pinned comment right here, which seems like the better idea. Oh, and my apologies for having taken this long to actually respond, I could have sworn I initially wanted to, but then time passed... for a few seconds and then I forgot completely. Happens a lot to me, and it's quite stupid.
@@Chokalada No worries, other youtubers might've just ignored new comments on older videos. The fact that you put this much thought into it is rewarding. And some of the more comical ones like Don Tigre's and Knightley's are glorious just by virtue of being so laughably insane. But others like the Phantom's and Ga'ran's are very story driven. You can enjoy how crazy they are, but part of what makes them satisfying was the buildup leading up to them. They're hilarious because of how appropriate they are, and not everyone will feel the same impact. For example, I'm not a big fan of Engarde's breakdown. I love the buildup leading up to it, but I mainly got my satisfaction from the "shit my pants in terror" look on his face before his breakdown. Him screaming as he gouges his gorgeous face was just the cherry on top. You probably feel different about it though.
@@dungeonmaster3464 Yeah I usually don't like just ignoring comments when they're something I could definitely respond/answer to. Sure not everyone has the time to do exactly that, and it does depend on how many comments there are, but in my (very bland and unremarkable) case in particular I surely can clear things up. Depends on the individual of course. Oh, and I just now made that comment with all my explanations to clear those up after... almost four whole years of me not even having considered it. Pinned it right up there.
Precious memories for many, but more of an old shame for myself... in the end, we don't seem to see eye to eye on that one, though I will acknowledge that those times have been quite an experience... for better or for worse, depending on what aftereffects they gave to me. And unfortunately, I'm not dead yet... sorry for the late reply, by the way.
Yeah... wasn't really an outright favorite of mine, so I never considered it for this (assuming you're referring to her second breakdown... you know the one). But I will admit that it has a generally good impact, especially this late in the story.
My response to these breakdowns 15: Your hair looks like it's gonna fly off 14: Is your head okay? 13: You look like an idiot 12: How are you not bleeding? 11: Do you want me to finish what you were writing? 10: Is your face okay? 9: It's game over for him 8: Sorry, a killer can't be president 7: How did he cause a blackout? 6: Stop laughing pls 5: YOU RUINED MY EARS! >:( 4: Stop, you're gonna get brain damage 3: Bro's going super sayin 2: I will rip of all your masks and see for myself 1: Yes, very good magic trick
I really don't like any of spirit of justice breakdowns. Part of it comes from me thinking the 3d era villains are too obvious and over the top, but for me the more concise breakdowns are the most powerful, like kristophs and gants. Of course, dual destines final villain breakdown is pretty good though.
finally someone who puts Kristoph in the top three. I LOVED Kristophs breakdown and it might be because he's the only one I like in the whole game and the way we beat him and get the breakdown is actually satisfying (IMO). The the transition from "right" to "wright" just does something for me that makes it also in my top three (2).
Watching this video like "WHAT THE FUCK BEAT THE PHANTOM- Oh, okay. Fair." Robert Downey Jr. as an evil Magician probably has the most life out of any breakdown. I swear they used motion capture or something.
commenting a year later but agreed! case two dragged on for so long with so many red herrings which was ridiculous since we were showed the culprit at the very beginning
And my 2nd favorite is Autishon, makes me think Richard Nixon reacted just like that when his scandal was caught... but on no.1.........Gant and Von Karma have a Tie...
The same courtroom where a parrot testifies, no one bats an eye when a spirit is summoned, and every main prosecutor except Edgeworth and Klavier have a weapon of some sort and regularly attack the defense
Yeah if I recall correctly, it's because L'Belle here colored his hair blonde with a dye that's described as being easily water-soluble, and he's always had gray hair like this. Makes this breakdown kinda even funnier tbh.
Honestly I don't know why, I guess at the time of making this I just preferred these 15 breakdowns, but yeah I agree she had some really intense breakdowns, especially at the end of the game.
Yeah, that's long become an old shame of mine. I admit that it might be quite a dick move to those who actually liked those older videos of mine, but I just find them horrible now, and want nothing to do with them anymore or the impact they left on me... long, complicated story. But I am sorry for this.
Yeah I honestly regret ever having added that there. "Hawhaw sudden loud noise super funny!" was my logic apparently, but no it's definitely not super funny. I'm so sorry for that and that I didn't cut it out earlier when I clearly could have, but thanks for reminding me to do that now. The "Intro" part (also the pointless ending part) should be gone in a few hours.
Breakdowns from Duel Destinies and on are not so good because they are too long and strange, plus lack the craziness and unique points compared to those from the trilogy.
True, the graphical change in general can be an acquired taste for a fair amount of people, though I myself didn't feel any strong difference between the two "eras". Many of the "3D" breakdowns just happened to greatly hit the mark for me.
Nah, Trilogy ones are classic. Newer ones are still creative and hilarious. I think all of the breakdowns are great apart from 1 (yes only 1 lol from by far the worst case of the franchise). If I was to make a top 10-15, Dahlia, Kristoph, Pierce, Manfred and Retinz would be the 5. Engarde, Tigre, Gant, Means and Phantom or Atishon would fill out 10. Godot, Payne, Meele, Ga'ran and Simon makes 15 total I guess
Daryan Crescend Horace Knightley Ga'ran Sigatar Khur'ain Simon Keyes Aristotle Means Matt Engarde Florent L'Belle Paul Atishon Furio Tigre Damon Gant Pees'lubin Andistan'din Manfred Von Karma Kristoph Gavin The Phantom Roger Retinz

I love it too! So creative! Definitely one of the best
I wouldn't say it's my favorite but it's most certainly up there, very underrated breakdown
Honestly, I felt bad for him during his. Broken teeth feel like overkill! He wasn't even that bad of a guy compared to most of the killers. His only other crime was accepting bribery.
I'm glad Retinz is at #1 on this list, ever since I saw his breakdown it's always been my favorite in the entire series

I know this game, the cases, the character names, even their personalities are supposed to be funny, but I can't fathom how uncanny their "breakdowns" are
they're supposed to be _just_ humans, with normal occupations, without magic or hybrids with non-human creatures, but their reactions were so dramatic, it's almost inhuman, really creepy but I love it so much 💙
Welcome to anime...
The best was prosecutor Manfred von Karma with Godot being a close second. "EDGWOOOOOOOORTH!!! EDGWOOOOOOOORTH!!!" *proceeds to flatten own head*
"The only time a lawyer is supposed to cry is when it is all ower..."
It just sends chills down my spine remembering one of these.
I'm kind of sad not to see Yuri Cosmos' breakdown on the list, it's my favourite non-final case (technically) breakdown. Also the funniest out of every single one.
Every time he crashes through the door 😂
Bailiff! On your steed and after that man!!
*Edgeworth watches Cosmos on a moped being chased by Meekins on a horse*
"I've worked here TOO long..."@@LizzieourWorld
I have to say, Robert Downey Jr.'s breakdown at number 1 is a very solid choice
#9 is fun for me cause his ENTIRE LIFE IS RUINED RIGHT IN FRONT OF US AND ITS JUST THE FUNNIEST SHIZZ
My favorite breakdown is Kristoph's.
Atishon just straight up snapped
Atishon's breakdown is freaking hilarious
Bro just got sent to the Shadow Realm
Phantom, Means, and Retinz were amazing! Means is legimatly trying to pass off murder with bathroom detail or a pay cut, Retinz was amazingly symbolic, and Phantom... Phantom was just horrifying! Love them!!!
And people say SoJ and DD are the weakest in the series.
Kinda surprised Dahlia didn't even Crack the top 5, much less the list. Her whole breakdown was her cursing Mia and then getting dragged into Hell through basically an exorcism
Aristotle was the funniest. Phantom, Dahlia 2, Engarde, Tigre, and Manfred where my favorites
Honestly I don’t think Retinz had the best breakdown, but he’s one of my all time not main characters based on the fact that I DID NOT see him being Mr Reus, exact opposite personalities which I should have thought about, but seriously if they made this guy more evil and not just spiteful he would have been a final end game ace attorney villain
I think that Keyes' breakdown/the animals' breakdown had the biggest moment for me because it shows that the animals are smarter than they let on. They knew that Simon was, in technicality, the 'bad guy' here. At least that's my theory.
the judge has went through a lot 💀
My favorites gotta be kristophs, the start is basically him doing the same thing he did in trump except now he unexpectingly goes super sayan.
He got possessed. Man's literally the devil you know.
Dahlia's breakdown is the best
Some of the DGS breakdowns need to be here... The first case in particular...
My ranking would be :
15) Luke Atmey (T&T)
14) Daryan Crescend (AJ)
13) Horace Knightley (I2)
12) Jacques Portsman (I1)
11) Aristotle Means (DD)
10) Simon Keyes (I2)
9) Phantom (DD)
8) Calisto Yew (I1)
7) Kristoph Gavin (AJ)
6) Dahlia Hawthorne (T&T)
5) Damon Gant (AA)
4) Matt Engarde (JFA)
3) Roger Retinz (SOJ)
2) Manfred Von Karma (AA)
And of course...
1) Godot (T&T)
I actually wasn't expecting you to include breakdowns from the Miles Edgeworth spinoff. I am impressed and pleased.
I love ga’ran’s the most, because when Apollo points the finger all of the guards, just forget their guards and start spinning around
And it’s hilarious
Reuz's breakdown is so expressive! I love it.
So glad you agree that reus’ breakdown is easily one of, if not, THE best in the series
The fact the Mr. Reus mask does the Majora's Mask giggle makes it for me.
Like naw, dude... You did this all on your own. Got kicked out of the Troupe? Your fault. Stained your legacy by killing your no. 1 fan? Your fault. You wanna be Mr. Reus forever? You got it, but you'll be forever known as an arrogant, childish, and murderous creature undeserving of pity or mercy.
The number of times Von Karma smashed His head, you would think he'd have some sort of brain damage afterward
I think Wellington's first and second breakdowns deserves to be in this list
His breakdowns are quite amazing, I will agree with that. But in the end, these were my choices.
But in the end he said that he hated them
Seeing him suffocate himself was immensely satisfying.
Retinz and the Phantom were my personal favorites too
Gotta love how most of those breakdown might not even happen and it's just everything witnessing the culprit experiencing a mental breakdown with themselves
On another note, I am surprised there is nothing from the great ace attorney, the absolute final culprit's breakdown is probably my most favourite
Aristotle's defeat was hilarious. Marlon's breakdown was pretty epic too, like he was on a sinking ship
Why is the Professor's breakdown funny?
Edit: Also, Atishon's breakdown is also a bruh moment for him.
I like how the first thing Means proposes is "bathroom detail"
Seeing #5 where it is, makes me so happy
I suppose it makes sense that most of the "Final Boss" breakdowns are on the list. In fact I think the only ones missing are Dalia's, AA Investigation 1's villain, and the Great Ace Attorney's.
Given, I guess that means only 6/10 are on the list. I sort of wish you put in explanations for why you put certain entries on the list and what put entries above each other.
I get that it's your list and your opinions, but you also mentioned in the description that part of your rating is in how big an impact they had on you. I don't know what impact the cases had on you, and a big part of the breakdown is the case leading up to it. Yeah, the breakdowns are cool, but looking at them out of context takes them out of the case. So part of what makes them awesome is lost in translation.
If you played the games then you know the context already
Yeah that's a very good point, I could have at least put a few lines for those entries, but I must have taken for granted a bit too much that watchers would see what I'm seeing in these. Now I could still write down these explanations in the description, but I'm not exactly sure how many people will stop to look up a video's description in the middle of watching a video. Still, I could do that or write a pinned comment right here, which seems like the better idea.
Oh, and my apologies for having taken this long to actually respond, I could have sworn I initially wanted to, but then time passed... for a few seconds and then I forgot completely. Happens a lot to me, and it's quite stupid.
@@Chokalada No worries, other youtubers might've just ignored new comments on older videos. The fact that you put this much thought into it is rewarding.
And some of the more comical ones like Don Tigre's and Knightley's are glorious just by virtue of being so laughably insane. But others like the Phantom's and Ga'ran's are very story driven. You can enjoy how crazy they are, but part of what makes them satisfying was the buildup leading up to them. They're hilarious because of how appropriate they are, and not everyone will feel the same impact.
For example, I'm not a big fan of Engarde's breakdown. I love the buildup leading up to it, but I mainly got my satisfaction from the "shit my pants in terror" look on his face before his breakdown. Him screaming as he gouges his gorgeous face was just the cherry on top. You probably feel different about it though.
@@dungeonmaster3464 Yeah I usually don't like just ignoring comments when they're something I could definitely respond/answer to. Sure not everyone has the time to do exactly that, and it does depend on how many comments there are, but in my (very bland and unremarkable) case in particular I surely can clear things up. Depends on the individual of course.
Oh, and I just now made that comment with all my explanations to clear those up after... almost four whole years of me not even having considered it.
Pinned it right up there.
dang there goes the one who started the tf2 dubbing of Kirby bosses and other bosses rip to those precious memories (no the youtuber is not dead)
Precious memories for many, but more of an old shame for myself... in the end, we don't seem to see eye to eye on that one, though I will acknowledge that those times have been quite an experience... for better or for worse, depending on what aftereffects they gave to me.
And unfortunately, I'm not dead yet... sorry for the late reply, by the way.
Spirit Of Justice defies all odds by having 2 breakdowns in the Top 5!!!
Uh, there is only 1 from SOJ in top 5....... Wait did you think Phantom was a SOJ culprit?
@@pkmntrainerred4247 Pees’lubn Andistan’dhin was #5.
@@StreetFighterFan777 IK.... oops sorry.
Wh-wh-whaaaaaaugh
WHERE IS DAHLIA'S BREAKDOWN
Yeah... wasn't really an outright favorite of mine, so I never considered it for this (assuming you're referring to her second breakdown... you know the one). But I will admit that it has a generally good impact, especially this late in the story.
Daryan looking like a sad puppy and then Klavier ending it off with that air guitar is so perfect. XD
I love ace attorney breakdowns
The gant one is to breakdown the epiletic people too
Winston Payne?
Luke Atmey?
Dahlia Hawthorne?
Hart Vortex
#7 FORESHADOWED BRIDGE TO THE TURNABOUT WTFFFFF
Yep, they probably meant to make you subconsciously remember that his mask glows so it's easier to figure out how you could see him in the dark
I so agree with no. 1 position
my favourite breakdown for these culprits are Simon aristotle matt paul and roger
I think Dahlia Hawthorn’s should be on this list given her actual soul gets booted out of Maya’s body
My response to these breakdowns
15: Your hair looks like it's gonna fly off
14: Is your head okay?
13: You look like an idiot
12: How are you not bleeding?
11: Do you want me to finish what you were writing?
10: Is your face okay?
9: It's game over for him
8: Sorry, a killer can't be president
7: How did he cause a blackout?
6: Stop laughing pls
5: YOU RUINED MY EARS! >:(
4: Stop, you're gonna get brain damage
3: Bro's going super sayin
2: I will rip of all your masks and see for myself
1: Yes, very good magic trick
Andistan'dhin aka Rockstar Jesus' breakdown is, imo, a salty albeit funny way to say "I almost got away with it too, damn it!"
Bro the first one was like sindel form mortal Kombat lol😂
I really don't like any of spirit of justice breakdowns. Part of it comes from me thinking the 3d era villains are too obvious and over the top, but for me the more concise breakdowns are the most powerful, like kristophs and gants. Of course, dual destines final villain breakdown is pretty good though.
Well it was nice to finally see the queen get what was coming to her.
What was there not to like about Apollo's finger point literally knocking armed guards back?
#12 is My 3rd favourite break down
finally someone who puts Kristoph in the top three. I LOVED Kristophs breakdown and it might be because he's the only one I like in the whole game and the way we beat him and get the breakdown is actually satisfying (IMO). The the transition from "right" to "wright" just does something for me that makes it also in my top three (2).

8:36 for me von karma is best breakdown
Watching this video like "WHAT THE FUCK BEAT THE PHANTOM-
Oh, okay. Fair."
Robert Downey Jr. as an evil Magician probably has the most life out of any breakdown. I swear they used motion capture or something.
He looked more like Johnny depp to me but alright
Bro actually same experience as you
Dual Destinies had great villains and better breakdowns. …Just a shame they show you who two of the fucking villains are.
commenting a year later but agreed! case two dragged on for so long with so many red herrings which was ridiculous since we were showed the culprit at the very beginning
@@wowjennawow Tbh it's not who's the villain but how to bring them down that's the kicker.
@@v.emiltheii-nd.8094 Fair, but figuring out who it is in the first place is half the fun imo
My favorite is gant.
My favorite breakdown is L'Belle
And my 2nd favorite is Autishon, makes me think Richard Nixon reacted just like that when his scandal was caught... but on no.1.........Gant and Von Karma have a Tie...
Im sorry but what kind of a courtroom allows a FUCKING MAGIC SHOW happen?
The same courtroom where a parrot testifies, no one bats an eye when a spirit is summoned, and every main prosecutor except Edgeworth and Klavier have a weapon of some sort and regularly attack the defense
May I say that #5 is so freaking stupid and hilariously bad at the same time that I just laugh while putting on a wtf look 😂😂😂
Manfred banging a wall
4:29 holy shit is that mettaton
Almost. The style and hamminess is there, but they're still quite different.
Both are incredibly hilarious, that much is for sure.
A failed mettaton
And the thing is that the pursuit theme sounds like Death by Glamour
I'm very surprised that Marlin Rimes isn't on here
Dhalia must definitely make it to a top like this because of all the backgroun in TnT. But nice top.
13 would have been good if it wasnt for... well, everything that lead to it being what it was.
How does ones hair turn gray after spraying excessive amounts of perfume?
Yeah if I recall correctly, it's because L'Belle here colored his hair blonde with a dye that's described as being easily water-soluble, and he's always had gray hair like this. Makes this breakdown kinda even funnier tbh.
How dare you leave out Dahlia Hawthrone!
Honestly I don't know why, I guess at the time of making this I just preferred these 15 breakdowns, but yeah I agree she had some really intense breakdowns, especially at the end of the game.
*_Nice._*
Is it just me, or does Retinz look like Johnny Depp?
Johnny Depp or RDJ, it's either of those two...
And honestly, I could see both as Retinz.
I think "meltdown" would be more accurate, like a liberal when you expose the truth to them.
Because disney villian deaths are too normal.
Top one for me is the first ever one bc he fûcking dies
Where the hell is Yanni Yogi man
L'Belle's breakdown makes me sad. Yeah, he's a terrible person and deserves all of it but come on... the guy's life is crumbling right before his eyes
Hey, I've been wanting to watch your old video "Magolor is Heavy". Whatever happened to that?
Yeah, that's long become an old shame of mine. I admit that it might be quite a dick move to those who actually liked those older videos of mine, but I just find them horrible now, and want nothing to do with them anymore or the impact they left on me... long, complicated story.
But I am sorry for this.
Dahlia should be gud
0:07 WHY
Yeah I honestly regret ever having added that there. "Hawhaw sudden loud noise super funny!" was my logic apparently, but no it's definitely not super funny. I'm so sorry for that and that I didn't cut it out earlier when I clearly could have, but thanks for reminding me to do that now. The "Intro" part (also the pointless ending part) should be gone in a few hours.
Breakdowns from Duel Destinies and on are not so good because they are too long and strange, plus lack the craziness and unique points compared to those from the trilogy.
True, the graphical change in general can be an acquired taste for a fair amount of people, though I myself didn't feel any strong difference between the two "eras". Many of the "3D" breakdowns just happened to greatly hit the mark for me.
Nah, Trilogy ones are classic. Newer ones are still creative and hilarious. I think all of the breakdowns are great apart from 1 (yes only 1 lol from by far the worst case of the franchise). If I was to make a top 10-15, Dahlia, Kristoph, Pierce, Manfred and Retinz would be the 5. Engarde, Tigre, Gant, Means and Phantom or Atishon would fill out 10. Godot, Payne, Meele, Ga'ran and Simon makes 15 total I guess
