One of my favorite things about Gant is that after he’s revealed to be the villain he doesn’t suddenly change into a super evil mastermind like April May for example, he’s still the same person
@@avocado1845this is so real, what makes Gant so amazing is that he’s still the same jovial old jokester that he was before. It really makes him that much more hatable when he shows the extent of his evil and corruption with the same kind of tone as always. Genuinely might be the most well written villain in the series (although I haven’t played past T&T yet so I’ll wait and see)
Gant is definitely one of my favorite AA villains because of his demeanor & the fact he doesn't really have notable personality change when caught compared to most of the other AA culprits.
50:43 It's actually so sweet that Miles is careful to ensure that the lawyer does not put pressure on children testifying about the murder (like Cody or Ema).Given the kind of lawyer Hammond was, it's not hard to imagine how baby Miles was pressured during his testimony about DL-6....
Oh god… I’m thinking about Baby Miles being made to testify against Yanni Yogi knowing Yogi’s innocent because he thinks he did the murder… I might have an aneurysm. 🥲
Fun Fact: The character designer for The Great Ace Attorney said Damon Gant was his favorite character. If you see Lord Stronghart’s design, you really see the inspiration from Gant.
Edgeworth was out for blood this case, some of his lines were just stone cold. Ranging from his "Objection" to his "Noose tighting around your neck", I was just reminded why I love this man so much.
I do love how this one case for once phoenix isn't bluffing or pulling shit out of his ass, or jsut beign lucky, like with von karma. Instead, like edgeworth had against him in the past, phoenix laid a trap for gant. a sneaky trap to get Gant to unwittingly confess to his crimes, and use a law that Gant had been abusing a fair bit in this trial to boot. All to ensure Gant couldn't get away. THis is the first time we get to see a devious side to Phoenix, and it's glorious.
The only thing that's too bad is that since this case was written after the rest of the trilogy was already finished his development skillwise here seems a bit inconsistent (imo) he seems very competent here (ergo the trap) like someone who has already had three games worth of growth, and then in Justice for All it almost seems like a backslide where he's once again a rookie flying by the seat of his pants and getting by on luck (because obviously Rise from the Ashes used to not exist) Feels harsh to say I think game one Phoenix isn't skilled enough yet to have pulled off that maneouver with Gant but 🤷♀ in the very next case chronologically he's bumbling through bc he can't remember what a cross-examination is (yeah yeah, I know, ~amnesia~, but it's still a very funny juxtaposition to me, lol) Oh well, I do love the case so I'm willing to overlook the plotholes
@LunaLongbottomLove to be fair, after this trial Miles leaves his infamous note, so it could be read that Phoenix was so affected that his performance suffered for it. It's a thing that happens irl sometimes too, unfortunately.
@@LunaLongbottomLove*pushes up glasses* ☝️🤓Umm, ackshully… the case that happens next chronologically is 2-2 (aka Reunion and Turnabout.) We know this because, despite it coming after in terms of gameplay, that case is stated to be the first time Phoenix met up with Maya again post 1-4, but she appears in The Lost Turnabout to deliver evidence. Reunion and Turnabout is also framed as a flashback Phoenix has to it’s events after remembering Maya at the end of 2-1. (Ok nerd time over)
@@ADuckWithATH-camAccount I doubt that is correct, the case already has inconsistencies with the AA2 plot even with that, the creator literally admitted he forgot a lot about of how he made the first games of the trilogy lol He probably just forgor
Gant's breakdown was one of my favorites in the series. Fun fact: This case was originally added to the DS port of the first _Gyakuten Saiban_ game for the GBA, meant to show off its capabilities like 3D rendering, the touchscreen, and the microphone, but it was still a pretty gripping case overall, even if I liked "Turnabout Goodbyes" more.
HOLY SHIT! I'M FUCKING SHAKING! OMG! HI! I've been such a big fan ever since your play through of the Persona series (it's my favorite game series because it's been a part of my childhood)! I'm so honored! Thank you so much for making my day!
If I remember correctly, a major criticism about this case is that Phoenix is out of character with how he is more on the ball. This case was actually created after the original Trial and Tribulations was finished so we get a version of Phoenix that is technically done with his character development, while still being in the first game.
Honestly the only part that stands out as ooc is the very end of the final day in court where he sets his trap without cluing in the player. Most of the rest of the time he's still either bumbling along or pushing forward without thinking about the consequences of what he's doing. It's also clear he hasn't gone through his 2-4 development yet. On that note, 1-5 does a pretty decent job of bringing the gap going into JFA for Edgeworth' development, especially with his exchange with Lana at the end spelling it out so overtly.
I don’t know…Phoenix needed to be handed a literal children’s book on evidence law in order to know what to do, so I didn’t feel like he took that much of a leap in competence.
One of the criticisms for this case is that Phoenix is too cocky/confident too early in the series, but to be honest if I happened to stumble my way through a case against this guy who runs perfect trials and I only won because the prosecutor didn't account for the off chance that I had a metal detector, I'd be pretty damn cocky too
Hahah, not untrue! If *I* got a guy with 40 years of perfect record and saved my -future- -boy- friend by cross-examinating a parrot, my confidence would grow through the roof! Also after this case Miles leaves That One Note, and we know Phoenix took it understandably badly. So it kind of makes sense his performance would suffer too!
@@Keyanna64 When Mael was introduced in case 3 I was like "Damon Gant is that you?" XD Also, I love how the official Ace Attorney anniversary(I think) art has Gant and Mael near each other and that their breakdowns are similar. It's basically developers stating the obvious :D
@@_Lis25 Are their breakdowns similar, really? Gant's is him turning into a seal and laughing his ass off like a madman Stronghart's is him angrily slamming his unicorn gavel several times and then a Michael Bay setpiece happens
I just want to think about the fact that Gant and Von Karma were working in law at the same time. Can you imagine having to face the two of them down at the same time? Defense attorneys had a real rough time, huh?
@@kristophesiem5336 Yeah, but the police and prosecutors work really closely together and generally tend to be pretty buddy buddy. Not just in this series, just in general. It makes sense if you think about it. The police arrest someone because they think they did it, and the prosecutors work to prove them right. You'd basically have both the police (Gant) and the prosecutor (Von Karma) working together to try to get a guilty verdict. Von Karma in the court room, Gant in the field (investigation and the like).
Enjoyable. It’s funny how sometimes her struggles look like she is trying to stick a square peg into a round hole; and then, she gets the jar first try.
This case is like an Edgeworth super fan was allowed to script a case. Savage one liners constantly, whitewashing his actions as the "demon prosecutor", ignoring scene continuity for rule of cool, and using a case way too complicated for Phoenix at this point in his career. It's a great time, but there's definitely a reason fans have a love-hate relationship with it, and why the anime decided to just pretend it didn't exist. Glad you were able to find all the fun in it, though. I do love Lana and Ema and they're the best part for me
I’m pretty sure the anime skipped this case because it wasn’t originally part of the trilogy (having been added for the games’ rerelease on the DS to highlight the capabilities of the new system) and wasn’t written by Shu Takumi.
If i remember correctly, Gant's OST is named " Swimming, Anyone?"", and I find it funny since it's referring to one of the things we firstly hear when he's talking to 'Udgey'😁
Glad you also consider Gant to be terrifying!! I think the worst villain in Ace Attorney is someone you have yet to meet. But Gant? He's up there and has probably had the biggest emotional impact on me
They did such an amazing job with it. One of my favorite tidbits about aa is how the speaking sound has pitch and length changes based on the character and line so good
This case in my opinion is peak Ace Attorney. There isn't any other case in the series that has gotten me so emotionally invested as this one, and having to work together with Edgeworth when we're supposed to be rivals is just PEAK
I played AA back in 2020, so in my memory this case was THE best in the trilogy... Four years later, it is even better than I realised. It's one of those cases where all of the characters were actually tolerable and so each trial was amazing. The ending was THE moment I finally connected with Phoenix and went along with his plan. The satisfaction from Phoenix telling Gant how he fucked up is just perfect Amazing characters, amazing case, amazing developments, amazing ending
@@Keyanna64 I absolutely hated him the first time around, but the way CrystAAHHL voiced him was absolutely perfect and actually funny. It's also been four years
So you are telling me Edgeworth gets the bellboy from the hotel next to where Phoenix works to fetch him some tea on the other side of the city? You want me to believe that's all???
So, for those who don't know, this trial wasn't originally part of the first Ace Attorney game. (Hoping I'm remembering the details here correctly.) The first Ace Attorney trilogy came out on Game Boy Advance, but then was rereleased for the DS. At that time they added the fifth case to the first game. There are some aspects of this case, such as the way Edgeworth seems to be taking things so harshly, that might seem a bit out of place after such an impressive victory, but had to be included because of the situation in the second game, which was originally written with the intent of being after the case with Manfred Von Karma, which much more understandably and obviously left Edgeworth distressed. I think they still pulled it off pretty well, and it is an AMAZING case, but if anyone thought it seemed a little strange that's because it was made after the fact to slot into this time period. I won't elaborate on what the situation with Edgeworth is in the second game, as that would be spoilers, but I feel like it's not spoilery to say that Edgeworth does have a part in the second game and its not divorced from the events here in the first game.
if i had a nickel for every time a streamer made meekins into some kind of demonic entity i'd have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice!
If i had a nickel for everytime meekins was headcannoned as a horrifying entity id have two nickels. Which isn't alot but its weird its happened twice. (Shout out to yall who watch save data)
i feel like this case goes on for way longer than it needed to even though the final trial was really good and gant is such a fun antagonist. overall i'm glad that they shifted to only having two trial segments per case for the rest of the games in the series
I love how just about every reaction to Gant anyone ever has can be summarized as "ah, not this goofy ass boi😮💨" or "Holy balls, this dude scares the crap out of me😱"
There are no fires in Hell hot enough, painful enough, nor ruinous enough to deter Detective Dick Gumshoe from being your very best friend. He is the most loyal person in the series. He truly is like gum on a shoe, you can't be rid of him unless Capcom says so. And.....he's been a little absent from the recent games. We've been wondering as a fanbase where our beloved puppy dog of the law is. We've been wondering if he's okay.....
This case is such a mixed bag for me. On one hand, the case is really fun and engaging, and you feel like a genius for exposing the conspiracy behind the scenes. On the other hand, because it was written after the third game in the trilogy was finished and only added for the DS port of the game, we see parts of Phoenix and Miles’s character that make little sense. Edgeworth acts like he’s had a conscience and moral compass as a prosecutor from the start of his career, when his actions in Turnabout Sisters blatantly show us otherwise. This case is too early in the timeline for him to be this good of a person. As for Phoenix, he makes plays (mainly the last one against Gant) in this case that he did not have the skill to pull off after the end of Turnabout Goodbyes. He levels up in this case and doesn’t stay at that level in the next game.
Counterpoint! (This is my favorite case of the trilogy so bear with me) The "impossible trick" he pulled off with evidence law was slowly presented to him by both Gant and Lana: The latter with the book, obviously, and since Phoenix is no dumbass he figured out what she was trying to say; Gant, on the other hand, pulled off the exact same trick on Miles, with the report about the Evidence Room murder. And again, Phoenix is no dumbass, so he realized he could pull off the exact same thing on Gant! So yeah, to me it's not out of character at all; he didn't come up with it on the spot, he had a little push in the right direction and a good example! ☝️😎 And Edgeworth already showed a good moral compass in case 3 with Vasquez, and case 4 made it even more apparent. Edit: grammar and added Edgeworth comment
Edgeworth literally manipulates both the bell boy and White for the sake of winning in Turnabout Sisters. Between that, the speech about his all-guilty policy before the second trial day of Turnabout Sisters, and every pro-Von Karma thing he says in Turnabout Goodbyes, him claiming that he’s never touched evidence a mere month after Turnabout Goodbyes feels like a lie. I will agree with you about the Phoenix part. Even if it feels like an AA3 level of thinking from Phoenix, especially because he presents it so calmly as opposed to panicking and having an aha moment, he was given enough info and context to use that evidence as cunningly as he does.
Edgeworth in Turnabout Sisters is a mildly an amoral jackass, but he's never actually been as bad as the rumors around him say- and this case shows a lot of those rumors came from the SL-9 case, which he had minimal impact on (he was brought on after Marshall died, and all the evidence fraud was Gant and Lana). Which tracks with what we actually experience dealing with him- eg the updated autopsy report feels like a dick move, but it's just Edgeworth catching and resolving a contradiction before the player can (and a side effect of the super rushed trial schedule). Also, Edgeworth here is kind of just burning everything down. He's decided he's leaving and everyone's trying to scapegoat him so fuck it he'll take on the Chief of Police
First we have Mia and Maya Fey, now we have Lana and Ema Skye 7:12 Dejavu with the second case with April May, except April's booba were much better; and chat wasn't feral, or they were feral and I didn't see it 11:06 I know a streamer who was done with the judge by case two. He even ended up on her list. Blue badger song Crystahhhl- Put on the cat ears. No really, put them on. Miles- Leave me alome! Chief Daman Gant looks like Zeus from SMT 5 to me
56:06 The single coolest looking sprite in AA history. 1:06:14 Another one. 1:09:33 This one... Yeah this one just hits me. It's like Gina's crying smile in GAA, I just love how genuine it feels. It's just... Genuinely one of the best smile sprites in the series.
I think this video is from when she was playing through the first game, so she hadn’t played the rest of the trilogy yet at that point. (I could be wrong, though!)
Laughing so hard when the pot & the Badger showed up 🤣 Also fun fact: This case was made for the release of Ace Attorney on Nintendo DS. There are apparently 2 reasons why, to showed what can they do with DS at that time(The powder, replaying the video, & the luminol. This elements will showed up again on the 4th game. Why no new cases for the 2nd & 3rd game? Unfortunately i don't know why) & to connect the story between AA1 & 2(This 2 games have 1 "hole" regarding the story. But even without this case, connection is there, this just add another theory & conclusion as for "why"). May you also have fun in Justice For All 👍
New AA video just drop🎉🎉. I wonder what happened to Gant? Von Karma and Dahlia were hanged. Even after this case Police Chief were mentioned a few times in both sequels.
Well, presumably someone else became the Chief of Police after this, much like how there was still a Chief Prosecutor even though it was no longer Lana.
(Minor spoilers for Justice for All and major spoilers for Trials & Tribulations, though if you read the above comment you’re pretty much already caught up) I’m guessing that Gant probably received a death sentence given his crimes, though we don’t know how long it would be before it was carried out. I don’t think it was confirmed whether Manfred von Karma was executed or just died in prison, and it was definitely a number of years before Dahlia’s execution was carried out. (I think we’re told it took place about a month before case 3-5?)
The reason this case was so weird compared to the rest of the game was because it was made for the DS port and meant to bridge the original trilogy into Apollo Justice.

The ending was THE moment I finally connected with Phoenix and went along with his plan. The satisfaction from Phoenix telling Gant how he fucked up is just perfect
Amazing characters, amazing case, amazing developments, amazing ending
“all of the characters were actually tolerable”
Even Meekins?!?!
@@Keyanna64 I absolutely hated him the first time around, but the way CrystAAHHL voiced him was absolutely perfect and actually funny. It's also been four years
@@Cinnamowo “It’s also been four years”
Very fair and also quite mature of you!
What is up with Crystal having dreams with her favorite characters, like Akechi and Edgeworth. I wish i could do that😢
I'm still pissed by the fact that she did the vase thing ON HER FIRST TRY! IT TOOK ME LIKE HALF AN HOUR
This chapter introduces 2 lovely new sleep paralysis demons: Damon Gant and the Blue Badger!
It was cute watching you fawn over Edgeworth in the streams. Can't wait for more Ace Attorney videos/streams
So you are telling me Edgeworth gets the bellboy from the hotel next to where Phoenix works to fetch him some tea on the other side of the city? You want me to believe that's all???
I barely recall the livestreams from this case I only know Biblically Accurate Mike Meekins
4:36 when you are so into this game that your worst nightmares have now become the protagonist's worst nightmares
So, for those who don't know, this trial wasn't originally part of the first Ace Attorney game. (Hoping I'm remembering the details here correctly.) The first Ace Attorney trilogy came out on Game Boy Advance, but then was rereleased for the DS. At that time they added the fifth case to the first game. There are some aspects of this case, such as the way Edgeworth seems to be taking things so harshly, that might seem a bit out of place after such an impressive victory, but had to be included because of the situation in the second game, which was originally written with the intent of being after the case with Manfred Von Karma, which much more understandably and obviously left Edgeworth distressed. I think they still pulled it off pretty well, and it is an AMAZING case, but if anyone thought it seemed a little strange that's because it was made after the fact to slot into this time period. I won't elaborate on what the situation with Edgeworth is in the second game, as that would be spoilers, but I feel like it's not spoilery to say that Edgeworth does have a part in the second game and its not divorced from the events here in the first game.
Of course Edgeworth was going to wait until the last second to object, the man is more dramatic than Anakin Skywalker.
Yooo, convenient lunch time crystahl vid, lets goooo
And it's more Edgeworth thirst, hecc yeah
2:24 "Corprate wants you to identify the diffrence between thease pictures. They are the same picture"
if i had a nickel for every time a streamer made meekins into some kind of demonic entity i'd have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice!
Yes you gotta edit and upload all the ace attorney cases on the main channel
I'm confident Crystaahhl could pull off amazing cosplays of either of the Skye sisters.
Well, she does look A LOT like Lana.
"I'm getting tired of the judges shit in this case"
Oh honey, if only you knew.😂
If i had a nickel for everytime meekins was headcannoned as a horrifying entity id have two nickels. Which isn't alot but its weird its happened twice.
(Shout out to yall who watch save data)
"I'm ready for case 5 today."
Gant: 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
16:43 them staring at each other while having the same fit on is sending me
i feel like this case goes on for way longer than it needed to even though the final trial was really good and gant is such a fun antagonist. overall i'm glad that they shifted to only having two trial segments per case for the rest of the games in the series
I care not that I am not gay. Edgeworth is the hottest fictional character ever to exist.
This case is always a joy to watch, especially with Gant. I'm glad to see the edit is finally out!
The connecting the dots part was at the same time funny and kinda infuriating I'm not gonna lie lol
Gumshoe may be the butt of a lot of jokes...... But God damn if he is not the realest bro in this game.😂
I love how just about every reaction to Gant anyone ever has can be summarized as "ah, not this goofy ass boi😮💨" or "Holy balls, this dude scares the crap out of me😱"
She aint ready for the next 2 games for edgeworth
AtobeHunter gets Giga Chad of the week for that sentence at 26:30.
There are no fires in Hell hot enough, painful enough, nor ruinous enough to deter Detective Dick Gumshoe from being your very best friend.
He is the most loyal person in the series. He truly is like gum on a shoe, you can't be rid of him unless Capcom says so.
And.....he's been a little absent from the recent games. We've been wondering as a fanbase where our beloved puppy dog of the law is. We've been wondering if he's okay.....
The Meekins love is probably my favorite thing here
Damon Gant jumpscare 👁👁
This case is such a mixed bag for me. On one hand, the case is really fun and engaging, and you feel like a genius for exposing the conspiracy behind the scenes. On the other hand, because it was written after the third game in the trilogy was finished and only added for the DS port of the game, we see parts of Phoenix and Miles’s character that make little sense. Edgeworth acts like he’s had a conscience and moral compass as a prosecutor from the start of his career, when his actions in Turnabout Sisters blatantly show us otherwise. This case is too early in the timeline for him to be this good of a person. As for Phoenix, he makes plays (mainly the last one against Gant) in this case that he did not have the skill to pull off after the end of Turnabout Goodbyes. He levels up in this case and doesn’t stay at that level in the next game.
Counterpoint! (This is my favorite case of the trilogy so bear with me)
The "impossible trick" he pulled off with evidence law was slowly presented to him by both Gant and Lana:
The latter with the book, obviously, and since Phoenix is no dumbass he figured out what she was trying to say;
Gant, on the other hand, pulled off the exact same trick on Miles, with the report about the Evidence Room murder. And again, Phoenix is no dumbass, so he realized he could pull off the exact same thing on Gant!
So yeah, to me it's not out of character at all; he didn't come up with it on the spot, he had a little push in the right direction and a good example! ☝️😎
And Edgeworth already showed a good moral compass in case 3 with Vasquez, and case 4 made it even more apparent.
Edit: grammar and added Edgeworth comment
Edgeworth literally manipulates both the bell boy and White for the sake of winning in Turnabout Sisters. Between that, the speech about his all-guilty policy before the second trial day of Turnabout Sisters, and every pro-Von Karma thing he says in Turnabout Goodbyes, him claiming that he’s never touched evidence a mere month after Turnabout Goodbyes feels like a lie.
I will agree with you about the Phoenix part. Even if it feels like an AA3 level of thinking from Phoenix, especially because he presents it so calmly as opposed to panicking and having an aha moment, he was given enough info and context to use that evidence as cunningly as he does.
Edgeworth in Turnabout Sisters is a mildly an amoral jackass, but he's never actually been as bad as the rumors around him say- and this case shows a lot of those rumors came from the SL-9 case, which he had minimal impact on (he was brought on after Marshall died, and all the evidence fraud was Gant and Lana). Which tracks with what we actually experience dealing with him- eg the updated autopsy report feels like a dick move, but it's just Edgeworth catching and resolving a contradiction before the player can (and a side effect of the super rushed trial schedule). Also, Edgeworth here is kind of just burning everything down. He's decided he's leaving and everyone's trying to scapegoat him so fuck it he'll take on the Chief of Police
Girl really jinxed herself saying she needed to watch it 5 times. 😂
First we have Mia and Maya Fey, now we have Lana and Ema Skye
7:12 Dejavu with the second case with April May, except April's booba were much better; and chat wasn't feral, or they were feral and I didn't see it
11:06 I know a streamer who was done with the judge by case two. He even ended up on her list.
Blue badger song
Crystahhhl- Put on the cat ears. No really, put them on.
Miles- Leave me alome!
Chief Daman Gant looks like Zeus from SMT 5 to me
Are you referring to Jazzyguns?
@@frozenfoxgames5300 Yep, that's her. I didn't know if it was okay to mention other streamers.
13:15 huh, i think we found who Lord Strongheart is the ancestor of.
so i'm guessing crystaaal got the identity of the 'killer' and 'victim' in the locker room mixed up? XD
CrystAAHHL does look like a Mia Fey. She bears a greater resemblance to Lana though.
Lana and Crystahl lowkey look alike
Finally, it's time!
Case 5 aka edgeworth cooks

1:06:14 Another one.
1:09:33 This one... Yeah this one just hits me. It's like Gina's crying smile in GAA, I just love how genuine it feels. It's just... Genuinely one of the best smile sprites in the series.

Damn, this fanfic case is not half bad
I love your playthrough of the ace attorney games, but sometimes you are so slow to get the easiest of things xD
I like how she reacts when edgeworth puts a letter of resignation eveb though she finished the trilogy. Unless this video is after she played case 4.
I think this video is from when she was playing through the first game, so she hadn’t played the rest of the trilogy yet at that point. (I could be wrong, though!)
So is Crystal Meowth or Wobbuffet?
blue eye mfs be like
Easly top 3 cases in the entire series.
Laughing so hard when the pot & the Badger showed up 🤣
Also fun fact: This case was made for the release of Ace Attorney on Nintendo DS. There are apparently 2 reasons why, to showed what can they do with DS at that time(The powder, replaying the video, & the luminol. This elements will showed up again on the 4th game. Why no new cases for the 2nd & 3rd game? Unfortunately i don't know why) & to connect the story between AA1 & 2(This 2 games have 1 "hole" regarding the story. But even without this case, connection is there, this just add another theory & conclusion as for "why").
May you also have fun in Justice For All 👍
42:16 damn that's a high pitch
YAAAAY
This case was made for the DS version, so it was made after the rest of the trilogy.
Oh hey it's my favorite case lmao
19:52 Kadoc jumpscare holy shit
i cant wait to see you react to game 2
New AA video just drop🎉🎉. I wonder what happened to Gant? Von Karma and Dahlia were hanged. Even after this case Police Chief were mentioned a few times in both sequels.
Well, presumably someone else became the Chief of Police after this, much like how there was still a Chief Prosecutor even though it was no longer Lana.
(Minor spoilers for Justice for All and major spoilers for Trials & Tribulations, though if you read the above comment you’re pretty much already caught up)
I’m guessing that Gant probably received a death sentence given his crimes, though we don’t know how long it would be before it was carried out. I don’t think it was confirmed whether Manfred von Karma was executed or just died in prison, and it was definitely a number of years before Dahlia’s execution was carried out. (I think we’re told it took place about a month before case 3-5?)
The reason this case was so weird compared to the rest of the game was because it was made for the DS port and meant to bridge the original trilogy into Apollo Justice.
