      @@darkrl591 I personally adore their first meeting; Stronghart suggests Ryunosuke take a real murder case as an "experiment" to see if he's good enough, and when Ryunosuke turns him down bc it's amoral to play with people's lives, it turns out it was a test and Ryu passed. Takumi (and the other AA writers!) are wonderful at making well-rounded 3d interesting characters no matter their role in the story.
      It's also funny to me that getting a victory /there/ was what Stronghart used to determine Ryu's readiness, considering McGuilded was stealing HIS secrets... it's some funny irony.

      The best breakdown out of ALL of Ace Attorney, you can’t argue this fact. Without joking, what the fuck can top the damn unicorn gavel breaking, the literal fall of a mighty man who lands on the guilty flames of justice, then falls again and lands down on the floor, as a mark of full defeat, only to have the scales of Justice break and fall down (not guilty first), then the guilty scale crashing and burning behind that fallen man.

      @muhammadsban2009 6 ปีที่แล้ว +45

      They’re both very similar characters. Vortex manipulated the English legal system for his needs, while Gant manipulated the Japanifornian prosecutor’s office and legal system. Both used one main person to get what they wanted. Vortex was much more diabolical though. They also look very similar.

    • @orangesocks5385
      @orangesocks5385 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      I only meant that it's unlikely Gant and Vortex have a direct relation. Vortex might've had a brother or sister who was Gant's great-something grandfather/grandmother, but I don't think Gant was a blood heir to Vortex himself.
      They are similar, but the lack of allusion to Hart having either a marriage or children makes it unlikely to me that Hart is Gant's grandfather or something of the like.

    I have to say when I saw on the website that they changed his name from Vortex to Stronghart I was disappointed, but when I saw that his first name is now Mael I fell in love with it.
    (Now paraphrasing from the wiki)
    Aside from the maelstrom heart pun alluding to how twisted he is, which seems to be the main point of naming him Hart Vortex, Mael is a Celtic name meaning 'Chief' (As in his title). Aside from that 'Stronghart' can also be a reference to how powerful he is.
    So yes, while 'Hart Vortex' flows better, I think 'Mael Stronghart' fits his narrative better thematically

    SPOILERS
    The genius of Stronghart to me was how the big twist surrounding him wasn’t something like:
    “WHAT? IT WAS STRONGHART THE WHOLE TIME??”
    It’s obvious the dude is evil from square one. The draw here instead is discovering just how involved in this inspid plot he was.
    The game makes it very clear how he operates, so when he deviates from his established norm by, say, being responsible for Genshin’s near-escape, successfully ordering Watson of all people to falsify evidence, and being the one responsible for the blackmailing Klint into killing his own inner circle, it hits much harder.
    The twist isn’t just some cheap reveal, it’s a long, drawn-out curtain pull of just how entangled in corruption this terrifying man is.

      Not directly. It’s actually a nice twist that the main villain of the game never directly killed anyone. It was a nice divergence from other evil masterminds like AAI2’s main villain, who manipulated people from the shadows like Stronghart, but that villain was dumb enough to get his own hands dirty at the end which leads to his downfall. Stronghart never does this, he just indirectly killed nearly 20 people through the Professor and Reaper.

      I don't think it was. Men, at least those who haven't fallen into effeminacy, want themselves to be as big, bad, and intimidating as possible. Look how popular stoicism and Marcus Aurelius is to men. He was professional, authoritative, and wanted to be presented as well as possible to his superiors and the people of Britain by being as strong as possible so that people may have confidence in him. People want strong leaders. So I'd think he's a good guy if you understand men, career presentation, and politics.

    DGS2 Spoilers
    I like that no matter how terrible Vortex's actions are, he truly believed that what he had done was for the greater good. And, you can make an argument that he is right. If the truth of the professor incident had gotten out, it would have caused a huge controversy, and the alliance between Britain and Japan would be ruined. Furthermore, it was said that the curse surrounding van Zieks significantly reduced the crime rates in London. What Vortex had done was basically the classic ethical dilemma: sacrificing a few people and making everyone else live better lives.
    Another thing, if taking down Sithe sets Britain back 10 years, imagine what happens if Vortex is taken down. Along with exposing the professor incident, it feels like Narouhodou straight up destroyed the British government and legal system as a result of case 2-5.

    • @TheMemeExpert42069

In game 1, he's clearly trying to nurture this new law student by putting him on the defense of some interesting people and seeming to be pleased with Ryu's accomplishments. If he hadn't thrown Ryu into the deep end, several innocent people would be executed and Ryu wouldn't be the lawyer he becomes. Mael gave him the cases he needed and gave the defendants the person they needed. Sholmes taught him deduction and kept an eye on him throughout.

    TGAA2 SPOILER
    I enjoy that the game was super obvious in imposing that Stronghart is very suspicious, but also shows you how intimidating he is with the power he holds. The reveal that he's the judge by 2-5 still gives me goosebumps. Like, how did that final boss reveal feel a lot scarier than a bunch of other final bosses out there?

      I’m pretty sure it wasn’t meant to be a “twist”. The point was probably that he’s so suspicious and evil-looking but you couldn’t lay a finger on him for 6 cases straight because he’s so powerful
