This game is ridiculous but I've loved playing it. Next video will be a vlog talking some important life updates & why I won't be uploading the next while
Awesome
we love you rt, take all the time you need
You should try the edgeworth games, if you want more absolute nonsense.
Take care RT, thanks for all the great content
All good Dan. Have fun!
For those of you who weren't there for the stream, RT didn't figure out the handedness of the shooter in the picture from the description of the gun. He just remembered that when Edgeworth bangs his desk he uses his right hand and intuited the solution from there. Pretty big brain, if you ask me.
RT: Edgeworth bangs his desk with his right hand, meaning that’s his dominant hand. Meanwhile the gun wielder is using their left hand so that’s a contradiction! 🧠
Also RT: The culprit of the Jack Hammer murder is the 10 year old fanboy! 🙃
Wrong formula, right solution
I loved that moment, I kinda wish that was the solution now
@@anna48792 It already is to people who are quite attached to Edgeworth
@@anna48792 it, sorta is, that's how he knew he was right handed, there is other ways to find out but he found the unexpected one

I like how every case in this game starts with “prove this guy isn’t the murderer” and ends with “unravel a complicated conspiracy going back years”
And it only gets more extreme as the series goes on

Spoiler alert:
And didn’t murder
"Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal!"
@@Alavrado I mean technically
They were trying to get them _falsely convicted_ of murder, which would count as murder in of itself
And “keep the change ya filthy animal” isn’t?

@Turner Hammond Manfred Von Karma? Isn't that the guy who bludgeoned Nancy Kerrigan?

I'm so terribly sorry, Mr. Wright, but it was I who assassinated John F. Kennedy!
Trials IRL: Taking over a year to end
Ace Attorney: Well, third day, guilty
Makes you wonder how bad their crime rate is to do that.
Very bad. In the game AA Investigations 2 they talked about how trials used to go on for close to a year before a 3 day time limits was implemented because of how backed up the courts were.
In Japan you're pretty much guilty until proven innocent (and you won't be).
The ace attorney system works as follows (from what I could figure out from RT’s streams,
When arrested for a criminal crime, the first trial will follow the day after.
Then, after the first trial, there will be a second trial, and then a third.
In this system, any criminal is guilty until proven innocent, therefore, if you are not proven not guilty, you are automatically guilty.
Then, you are sent to a higher authority when sentenced.
(It’s a dystopia btw)
Also in most places murder cases don’t have a statute of limitations.
So, here's a heartbreaking story: the class trial is based on something that actually happened to the game's creator, Shu Takumi; but he didn't have any Edgeworth or Larry to stand up for him. He found a piggy bank with 5 yen in it in the playground, and pocketed it without thinking any more of it. But then the teachers accused him of stealing the piggybank from a girl in another class, and forced him in tears to apologise to her in front of the class, telling him stealing is wrong. So he wrote into the game the story of how he wished it would have turned out.
Bruh the shitty teacher is REAL?!
when you said "is based on something that actually happened to the game's creator" i thought that he was accused of murder or something
Isn't 5 yen a miserable amount of money?
@@ShinixSZ yep only 5 cents
@@ShinixSZ it's probably that the bank itself might've been worth something to the girl. Also, theft, had it happened, should be discouraged.
I just love that von karma has a whole episode when proven guilty. He screams, thrashes around, and then starts to reapeatedly hit his head violently. And no one even tries to stop him
To be fair pretty much every culprit does that lmao

Phoenix: Bruh
I always giggle when people spell it out as "Pheonix". Ik it's just a simple mistake but when you say it out loud I can't help but giggle at it.
@@zukamimotu..2071 the old French word _fenix_ made a lot more sense though the modern word is a portmanteau of that and Phoenicia. It's a hard word and you have to guess how to spell it, and it's not as if it's a common one either.
Though it's a dumb mistake if its plastered on the screen for 3 hours.
@@zukamimotu..2071 Neither spelling sounds like how it's actually pronounced when you pronounce them literally, if anything Pheonix would sound closer than Phoenix.
the idea of phoenix wright saying bruh is really funny to me for some reason
You see, she too had worked at that same chemical plant
As this trial concludes, there’s one question that’s still on everyone’s mind that has yet to be unsolved… *what was Grossberg doing at the boat house?*
you fool, it was *I* who convinced him to go to the boat shop
My headcanon for this question is that Grossberg was at the boat house to make sure Polly the Parrot wouldn't say anything about the DL-6 Incident and get Edgeworth charged as he was very likely aware that his parrot will say to not forget about DL-6 if you say that if you forgot something, especially with him having very deep ties to DL-6 with him using a spirit medium for the case. It would be kinda weird for von Karma to be at the boat house to silence the parrot especially with their potentially being eye-witnesses at the scene and if he knows how to train a parrot. If that's the case, then Grossberg maybe the mastermind for what's been happening with DL-6 and maybe some other major cases in the series with von Karma acting as the puppet while Grossberg does his dirty work in the shadows being undetected for the countless years.
Also on top of that, don't you think it's weird that we've ONLY seen Grossberg in the first Ace Attorney game and haven't seen him in person since? Makes you wonder what he's doing while Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth moves up the ranks as lawyers. Maybe time will tell in a future Ace Attorney game.
Grossberg: *goes for a walk at a public park*
RT: Your honor, he killed him
I would love it if grossberg was revealed as behind-the-scenes mastermind
@@bilingualistic8514 Grossberg: Wait what
1:43:50
A reminder that *THIS* shot is the one that kickstarted the _ENTIRE_ timeline of events that happened in the Ace Attorney franchise. Edgeworth was taken under Von Karma's wing after the incident so he could further ruin Gregory's reputation by teaching his only son to be a manipulative prosecutor. Redd White exposing the usage of spirit mediums in DL-6 is what disowned the kurain channeling technique and Misty Fey. Which made her run away from the village *_AND IN TURN,_* pushed Mia to become a defense attorney and force Dahlia and Iris to leave the village.
Mia becoming an attorney and almost getting Dahlia in trouble for blatant extortion, staging a hostage kidnapping, and killing her own step-sister is what made her poison Diego Armando, Mia's bf A.K.A. Godot. After said incident, Mia had to defend Phoenix in court to prevent Dahlia from ruining another life. She won and then took Phoenix under her wing to be a defense attorney (which is a moment Nick himself has been waiting for ever since Von Karma took away Edgeworth to Germany). Years later, Redd White tries to cover his tracks after he realized Mia still continued to hunt him down after all these years by killing her. Which prompted Phoenix to meet with Maya, Edgeworth, and Gumshoe.
Von Karma then saw that the expiration date for DL-6 is closing in. To further cover his tracks and further disown Gregory's legacy, he tried to frame Miles for the murder of Robert Hammond by coercing an old Yanni Yogi to take revenge. It was only in this moment where Manfred made his fatal blunder.
There were too many moving pieces to keep track of, and although his protegé's talent is mind chess, he couldn't get all the variables to fall into place. Between Larry's testimony, Yanni Yogi not burning the letter, Polly bringing back too many memories of DL-6, it was too much evidence. There, he was found guilty by a wound the Edgeworths dealt to him a long time ago in this very courthouse, a physical and mental scar that would never heal until the end of time.
Dahlia's arc then culminates in addition with Godot's, in which he murders a possessed Misty Fey to save Maya and Pearl from getting implicated. Literally **EVERYTHING** went wrong because of Von Karma. (Technically it was Sebby Debeste's dad who was the true catalyst but Von Karma added WAAAAAY too much fuel than necessary to the lawbook fire that is the AA series). What was a burning leaf pile in the courtroom ended up turning into a scorched national park across this entire ashen trilogy. _A SINGLE PENALTY_ over a rushed overlooked forged autopsy cost the lives of too many people over too many generations. All of this.... over...

Prison is where shes completing her training
Fun fact: It's actually legal to cross-examine animals in court (well, I guess it would be more accurate to say that you can present them as evidence). I have been told that a parrot has once been used to prove that a murder was done in self-defence, and that another parrot has been used to prove that a woman was being abused by her husband.
jokes aside I think we've all seen that one video of a bird who repeated some really abusive words (I think he was quoting the killer's words before they killed their victim? i don't remember). pretty chilling stuff
I'm pretty sure it was a parrot that heard a crime bosses meetings and kept on repeating what was said. The parrot, named Echo, was put in protective custody.
@@nadavwolf6390 Man I can't even get parrots to repeat what I say intentionally XD.
There was also a parakeet that was put in a jail cell because it refused to give out information about it’s drug dealing owner.
that's amazing.
*"Fun" fact!:* The class trial of Phoenix Wright is based on a real event! The creator of the series, Shu Takumi, shared his near-identical story with his colleagues which got added into the game in the form of this class trial.
A separate grade had made piggy banks using metal food cans. Someone stole the piggy bank of a girl in a seperate class, stole all the money, and threw it out by the dumpster. Takumi found it later on in the day and picked it up to inspect it. Someone saw him do this through the window and pinned him as the thief.
But Takumi's story was a little sadder. There was no class trial. Nobody came to his defense. He was humiliated in front of a classroom full of children he did not know and forced to apologize for a crime he did not commit. He was humiliated, tears streaming down his face. But treated like a criminal the whole time.
They decided to add this story into the game, but Takumi didn't want his characters to experience a memory as traumatic as his own. So he decided to give Phoenix someone to take his side and defend him, which is what he had wished someone would have done for him.
Wow. That's very sad. Poor Takumi-san.

This turnabout is basically the "turnabout that made Edgeworth go from absolute pain in the ass to everyone's favourite"

@@pinelopiliraki3660 I always loved him after he pulled out the “admit you placed the wiretap” moment in Case 2. That might be one of the most legitimately smart moves a Prosecutor pulls off in the series.

Wait that actually works! Wow, never thought of that.
exactly! of course he would have assumed it was yogi, he was the only other person in the elevator
@@livispuzzled I think there was actually a bit of a darker implication in the game if I remember correctly that he actually thought it was Miles because he was still conscious when he threw the gun and was just covering for him not wanting to get his son convicted for his own murder(remember when edgeworth threw the gun his father and yogi were still fighting but when Von Karma entered all three were out cold(presumably Gregory would pass out first since he was already being strangled)
@@toekneemart5597 that would make a lot of sense omg
@@livispuzzled If I remember correctly the game itself made this assessment not me but it's been quite a while since I played it so it might just be an conclusion I've come to on my own
"I can't refuse you edgeworth" man they aren't even trying to be subtle
timestamp is 17:54
They really aren't 😂
The funny thing is, Shu Takumi never intended for the dialouge to sound romantic in the first game. When they tried to purposfully make the dialouge hint towards romance, I believe someone told him that it was better before.
"Wright, will you.... For our whole lifetime, be the defense attorney to my prosecutor? "
"I can't refuse you, edgeworth"
Wait until Edgeworth calls Wright his "partner"
I know it was said before, but the sheer monstrous nature of Von Karma to manipulate Edgeworth into believing that he'd killed his own father for 15 years all for the sake of one penalty for an otherwise perfect record of guilty verdict is literally some of the most engaging crime drama I have ever consumed.
Also adopting the child of the man you’ve killed just to manipulate him to believe he’d killed him therefore leaving him no room to question you as you’re his only parental figure is absolutely fucking devious
@@AleksandarBell Also the fact that he raised Miles to become the same type of prosecutor that he was which Miles dad would have hated, since he was one of the few who had the conviction to actually stand up to Von Karma's bullshit.

Turns out, the statute of limitations on murder in Japan only got changed to indefinite in 2010. Since the murder would have occurred prior to that in game, there actually would have been a 15 year statute of limitations on it.
Edit: To clarify for those in the replies: no, changing it would not retroactively apply. Article 39 of Japan's constitution clearly states that laws cannot be applied retroactively, so the change in the statute of limitations would not have changed the prior crime's time limit, only any crimes occurring _after_ the change in law.
It actually would have applied retroactively to any cases that were still open, including this one. But they couldn't predict that when the game was made.
@@paradoxxis8612 Yeah, the entire original trilogy was made before 2010, so it still applied back then. Been a while since I played some of the more recent games, but I don't think the statute of limitations comes up all that much in modern games, if at all.

IVE JU ST MADE A MASSIVE SPEEDRUN BREAKTHROUGH (note: this only works on the PC version of the game) at the start of the game, if you mash the z key and press "defense mode", you will simultaneously select defense mode and prosecution mode, glitching the game, which deletes Phoenix and replaces Phoenix with another Manfred von Karma. At this point you can spam the "pressure judge" button and win.
The case is closed but these questions are gonna haunt RT's mind: Why was the lift airtight? , Why hasn't that judge been fired??, WHY WAS GROSSBERG AT THE BOAT RENTAL SHOP?!
I imagine that the lift was airtight because the game takes place during 2017 and the incident happened in 2002 so safety standards wouldn’t be perfect

I find it confusing why some people find it so shocking to find out a game where you play a lawyer with a medium side-kick, with a frilly cravat wearing rival where you yell OBJECTION at everyone, isn't a perfect simulation of being a lawyer.
It's probably just joking, and blaming the tricks of the judge and the prosecution
It's just simply fun to make fun of things, no one I hope is petty enough to get legitimately upset about little things in a lawyer game.
Some things can be allowed for suspension of disbelief but sometimes the stuff this game pulls out is wild to be fair.

Apparently when this game came out in Japan, they actually had a Statute of Limitations for murder! The statute of limitations on murder was 15 years, the exact amount of time between the DL-6 incident and the time this case takes place.
I looked this up as well as I was curious it was 15 at the time of this games release, changed to 25 in 2006, and finally abolished in 2010, so there is no longer a statute of limitations for murder in Japan.

Now that Missile is now formally introduced to everyone its now time to talk about the development backstory of this dog.
Missile is based on the creator's, Shu Takumi, real life Pomeranian. Missile is present in Takumi's other works. Sadly his dog passed away in the summer of 2018 where all of Missile present in his game now lives in honor of his beloved pet
**Correction: Takumi's dog is actually named after Missile from the Ace Attorney series and Missile's (Pomeranian) appearance is in Ghost Trick where i got confused
i’m pretty sure takumi’s dog was named after missile from ace attorney, while missile from ghost trick, another one of his games, is named after takumi’s dog. confusing lineage but very sweet

@@mapytrix3982 better than my mate who misspelled it as "losser" once and has made it a running joke since
The thought of Phoenix slowly giving Maya a gun at the train station is hilarious
My main issue with this whole trial is the fact that it's almost entirely clear that Karma tampered with evidence, manipulated witnesses, and destroyed a case file pertinent to the current ongoing investigation. Commanding presence aside, doubt upon even a single piece of evidence would get a case tossed. von Karma should lose his license, face jail time, and Edgeworth goes free. His previous trials? All would be reexamined, witnesses contacted in regards to what Karma told them, etc.
Japanese courts have a 98% conviction rate, it's basically guilty until proven innocent.
With this case, Mr. White's case and the extra case after this one it's become incredibly clear that the justice system is very corrupt
Here is a kinda spoiler for the later entries of the series regarding your last point:
The writters of AA got around the issue of Von Karmas former cases needing re-evaluation after what came to light in Edgeworths trial by letting Von Karma commit suicide before he could get convicted for any of his evil deeds. This ment there was nobody to prosecute, and, in turn, nothing to gain, in theory, from the highly corrupt prosecutors office if they'd opened up every single case Von Karma was the lead prosecutor in. This also involved the case which turned into DL-6 (were Edgeworths father caught von Karma red-handed with forged evidence which led to this entire thing), which, in turn, stayed unsolved for allmost 20 years (at least until Edgeworth finally corrected it in the second game of his spin-off were this became a major story focus)
And yeah, this is also not that unrealistic. I've read about a prosecutor in Japan who was apparently linked to a lot of corruption cases (were he let people from the hook for cash for example), but because he commited suicide before anything was done legally the prosecutions office didn't go after the cases he was involved in unless other parties besides said laywer were involved because there was "nothing to gain" for them without somebody to put behind bars.
You forget though. None of this is based in reality. The gameplay alone wouldn’t be allowed in a proper court proceeding, let alone surprise evidence, surprise testimony, constant revision of testimony, updated autopsy reports _that day_ , or pulling out a fucking metal detector on the fly without running it by the judge prior to the case holding. While yes, it’s somewhat based in reality, and you are extremely correct in your observations, no one would take any of them seriously as lawyers.
But it’s fun to watch anyway
Von Karma would've been disbarred forever immediately and probably would've faced many counts of witness and evidence tampering.

Wow, everyone bullies the Judge and calls him out on his incompetence in this case. Even Maya, who had no business in the defense table, blatantly was in contempt of court and was back the very next day...
Not that it was undeserved, he WAS prepared to accept the testimony from a man who didn't even remember his name well without proper cross-examination.
Not just a man who couldn't remember his name, a man who *could not be identified*
How could they even be sure he owned the boat-renting shack? Whose name was the deed in?
@@Msoulwing The worst part about that whole thing is that scientifically speaking, that situation is impossible. It is impossible to remove one's fingerprints, since they will grow back after a while. Several criminals in the past tried to mask their fingerprints. For example...
"Handsome Jack" Klutas, leader of the College Kidnappers, filed his fingerprints off, but they grew back. Two members of Kate "Ma" Barker's clan had their fingerprints hacked off by a mob physician who was inexperienced with fingerprints, and hacked at their fingers until their pain was overwhelming, but their fingerprints grew back too. Robert Phillips notably had a doctor graft skin from his abdomen onto the tips of his fingers, but was caught anyway from his palmprints and the other prints surrounding the skin grafts. And of course, John Dillinger *burned his fingerprints off with acid,* but... after his fingers healed, his prints were still visible.
I know I've heard about Edwardian police begrudgingly adopting fingerprints as forensic evidence, but I've yet to find anything about criminals from that time trying to destroy their fingerprints. Still, their history is interesting.

Iirc Maya stole the DL-6 bullet while she attacked von Karma, so it definitely happened. Personally, I think Phoenix remembered what happened, but he knew that since von Karma stole the letter and the judge's IQ is directly proportional to the length of his hair he had no way of proving it in court.

It’s somewhere between ProZD’s Lysanderoth and Team Four Star’s Mr. Popo.
I like how the sides of court are set up such that Prosecutors have authority over police, immediate and total access to all evidence in a trial, and the ability to straight up direct the judge, and meanwhile if you're a Defender your sole advantage is that you're allowed to bring in a buddy to court. And yet, somehow, Phoenix always wins because, unlike his predecessors who chose their buddy from people such as "paralegal from my office" or "my currently incompetent but promising protege," he went with the kind of overpowered option of "girl who can summon the ghost of another, better lawyer to help us." It's like a two-for-one deal on court buddies.
