A detail I really like about this case is Beh’leeb’s “breakdown.”It’s very subdued as she calmly casts aside her mourning veil and draws a new symbol upon her face.
The mark Beh’leeb drew after the trial is the Kurainese symbol for “death” and the same mark upon Lady Keera.
As explained by Rayfa, the symbol for death symbolizes resolve and a desire to fight until the end. Beh’leeb has accepted her husbands death and gained even more resolve to see the revolution through.
Stop you’re going to make me cry
Fun fact: Beh'leeb Inmee is one of only 2 culprits in the entire Ace Attorney series thus far (the other being Matt Engarde) who never told a lie in court! Interesting how it's one of the most likeable culprits and one of the least likeable culprits who never committed perjury
She may not have lied, but she also did not testify.
@@zantara True (and that's also the case for Engarde)
I feel like Beh'leeb was originally planned to testify. She even has a dramatic "damage" animation that's only used once when you break her psyche-lock.
Maya (and also Edgeworth) must be so proud of us for using the Steel Samurai theme song as the case-winning piece of evidence!
I wonder what Miles would even think of The Plumed Punisher? That’d be intriguing…….
@@simontravers2715 Edgeworth would be to Rayfa, what Maya is to Bah'leeb.
@@OKIGorgon Lol I would love to see what would happen there, considering Edgeworth and Rayfa *both* try to deny that they're fans of their respective shows
A theme that goes super hard to boot 🤘😎🤘
TRG Colloseum should try doing a dance for Steel Samurai theme (and Mario Golf 64 “win hole” tune) Hiker Dance getting a bit repetitive now.
I love how well the Plumed Punisher strap is set up earlier in the case. At first it is just a fun distraction for Maya to talk about and take her mind off the crime she is being accused of. But later it returns at the climax of the trial and you realise that they cleverly never told you who she actually traded with to get it.
She actually did, when she showed you the photo.
@@toumabyakuya Completely wrong. Not only did Maya not say who she traded with, she just said she traded with "a kindred spirit", but also the photo was found in the Inmee house, not shown to you, and when you show it to Beh'leeb, and later when it shows up with Maya, they only talked about the Gingihl.
@@Nibbieful Eh, okay, I was wrong. Even then, the two pieces of info of Maya having traded something for her Plume Punisher Strap and her displaying it happily in the photo are enough to connect the dots and know not only who she traded with but also what the trade means for the case as a whole.
Maya’s subtle change in her eyes when she’s giving a moving speech, so sweet.
Don't forget that instead of wide-mouthed, Maya actually has clenched teeth in her shocked sprite (Which looks better, the shocked sprite gave her a massive mouth in the original games
Yeah the OG trilogy really went full anime with that, like Larry’s white mouth grin sprite. Maya’s “puffing face” sprite when talking looks more mature too; less “I’m gonna destroy you!” to “Oh really? Come on.”
THE FACT THAT LUCAH IS SO DEDICATED TO THE FRANCHISE SHE COULD SENSE THE STEEL SAMURAI THEME FROM DAKA DON DON IMITATION... I COULD NEVER AND I BOW BEFORE THIS POWER OTHERS HAVE
I thought Beh'leeb was a little too milquetoast at first, but after she marked herself and declared revolution, I gotta say she's one of the coolest characters so far.
not to mentions she is pregnant and battling for a revolution XD
What a truly devastating case. Beh’leeb being forced to kill Zeh’lot in self-defense. Tahrust, realizing the terrible position his wife was in, resorted to framing Maya, someone he cared for, for murder…by killing himself. All to protect his beloved wife.
A loving, pious couple, forced into violence and ripped apart by a cruel law and an authoritarian regime.
Maya, forced to endure yet another rough stint as defendant, facing the almost constant ire of the general public.
Rayfa, having her sacred rites manipulated to obscure the truth, rather than reveal it. Compounded by her ongoing internal crisis of self AND the dark truth of her Royal Family and the “noble” Lady Kee’ra being revealed to her.
It is the brutal nature of this corrupt kingdom laid bare. A truly somber note indeed.
Thankfully, there are some beacons of light shining through . Maya's steadfast positivity, Phoenix's determination, both coming to help support Rayfa after the case. Beh'leeb striving to carry on the work of her late husband; to help bring in legitimate change. The story isn't over, not in the slightest.
Don't worry too much about not noticing Beh'leeb's watch - most of the time that photo was on screen before hand, that area was covered up by text boxes.
We've seen Phoenix acting like a dad towards Rayfa, now we see Maya acting like a big sister/mentor (or maybe senpai). It's so nice to see how far these two have come by seeing how they interact with the next generation. They even act so patient with her despite her aggressive insults towards them.
First The Thinker statue and now the warbaa'd statue.
Moral of the story: Stay away from statues in the Ace Attorney world.
And both were used to frame Maya!
I completely forgot about the Thinker.
@@JJ_R And in PLvsAA (small spoiler to that game because NO RUclipsr I know of, neither NicoB, nor NCS, nor etc etc etc)
Layton's Statue!
Objection! That was not a statue, it was actually a clock!
Wasn't there another statue that killed someone in the trial of Lana Skye?
The Great Ace Attorney does actually introduce a magnifying glass feature for every picture, so that might help if/when we get to those games!
I WILL say though, while definitely being a good translation, the fanmade one (which is the only one available through the original 3DS) is both not as charming as the official one (which has that polish and charm we're used to the official translations of the series having), and is also incomplete, as the second game hasn't yet been fully translated.
Despite finding Lucah's decision to play every game in its original hardware quite charming and appropriate, I would suggest she play The Great Ace Attorney through the PC port collection instead. And to be quite fair, one could argue since it's the first official way to play the games in english, it IS the "original hardware" that the game was available on to the west. I mean I imagine she didn't play the first trilogy on the GBA, she played the DS port instead since it's the one the west got first.
I cant remember where she said it but i think she said she wasn't gonna play the crossovers i could be wrong
@@lamegamesunanimous3445 The great ace attorney isnt a crossover
@@OfficialScottR I know I meant like the professor Layton crossovers
@@friendbreakfast Agreed but also the fanmade translation is still straight up incomplete for DGS2 right? So she would have to eventually play the remaster anyway
The end of this case is very bittersweet, with a lot of heartbreak, but also some glimmers of hope.
The Inmees’ tragedy is a grim example of how terrible the DC Act really is. Beh’leeb only acted in self-defense, and against someone she considered as close as a son, but who was not afraid to try and kill her in his role as the rebel hunter Lady Kee’ra. Even so, under the wording of the law, Beh’leeb would still have been brought to trial, and with no one to defend her, she would have been found guilty, and when she was with child, too…So Tahrust did what he felt was the only thing he could do: commit suicide and use what the Divination Seance would show to frame Maya, even though it’s clear he regretted putting her in such a position. It really goes to show how twisted the justice system in Khura’in had become if this was the only way he could think to save his wife and unborn child. Still, the tragedy of their tale is opening people’s eyes to the truth, and Beh’leeb got to bid her husband farewell properly. Still makes me misty-eyed..
And then there’s Rayfa. She’s already had it rough this case, having to accept that the Divination Seance isn’t the absolute truth she’s believed it to be, and that someone she dismissed as a fraud really can channel spirits, but now she learns that her father was using Zeh’lot as Lady Kee’ra as his secret police, legally sanctioning murder to quell rebellion. Ever since Phoenix arrived, her worldview has been turned on its head, her ego has taken a battering, and she doesn’t know what to believe anymore. Thankfully, Maya has a heartwarming speech for her, with a lovely new expression we haven’t seen on her yet, to assure her that she still has an important role to play despite recent events, and that it’s up to her to decide what sort of ruler she wants to be, and to think about what will be best for her people. It’s shown that Maya really has matured over the years, and she’s given Rayfa something to consider, showing there may be hope for her yet.
I’m glad Beh’leeb got away in the end though :)
@@Bread16091 Yes, thank goodness, and His Magistry even promised to do what he could to look after her, even if she admitted to being a rebel.
ultimately what rayfa needs to learn is that her ability isn't the absolute end all be all, and the elgal system needs multiple things to work, as without it you only have tyranny
(Now if only the law actually worked in the real world)
Tahrust and Beh'leeb are great, and Beh'leeb has to be probably among some of the best lead culprits in this franchise. She just spends a couple days grieving a dead loved one, gives some of the more important information to the trial, before appearing in court and outright admitting to the murder.
Like, no, Beh'leeb has to be one of the strongest characters in this franchise. To realize one of her closest family friends was actually a spy for a corrupt regime, have him BOASTING his position before trying to kill her, accidentally killing HIM instead, explain that to her husband, discover he died the next day, all the while being pregnant and likely knowing just about everything that took two days of trials to figure out. It's no wonder she came forward and just answered the rest. And STILL, she resolved immediately after to carry on where her husband left off. Like, this lady has some resolve. One might even say the will of a Dragon.
I gotta say… the Revisualization being the source of the hugest twist ever in a case felt nuts. It felt like my brain getting slammed by a semi truck when those bold words came slamming at the screen.
Right?! The Revisualizations are usually pretty mind-blowing, but THIS is the one I remember hitting me the hardest. I never saw it coming even though it seems so obvious in hindsight, Tahrust's Seance in particular.
Easily my favorite revisualization, for all the others you've already figured out the murderer and are just trying to solve one big issue, but for this one you still have no idea who killed the high priest, and the answer is something you couldn't have expected
The ending to this damn case makes me cry every single time 🥹
It's soooo sad, i'm glad that the one that "let it go and moved on" was the High Priest
This was my first time seeing it and I was losing it when she was saying goodbye to her husband😭😭
This is my second time, the first being when I played it. Still so god dang sad!
The twist that Tahrust Inmee killed himself is exactly what I meant with they know how to make them work. It was a reveal, not being hidden behind a supernatural gameplay element or impossible to know beforehand. All the facts and thought processes were already there, only hidden by the assertion, that basically no person playing this will even fathom the possibility of the murder being Tahrust himself. As there never was a suicide before in the AA-series.
The revisualization is also the perfect way to finally reveal the twist. Letting the player puzzle it together for themselves piece by piece. Slowly revealing and at the same time explaining the twist and its story, withno deus ex machinas or logic hoops, while we are cinematically following the red string of fate. Until that one moment, where we see that one answer, that makes it click in our head and completely takes us out. It feels so f'cking good!
I also just noticed the similarities of this case and Turnabout Serenade. Both are 3rd Cases that are about the problems of a flawed legal system and how others can use them for their advantage. Just that SoJ did this setup way better, as it is not riddled with logic holes and main protagonists being out of Character through the whole case just to make the plot work. Plus an extra dosis of heavy fucking feels for the culprit, which are the complete opposite to the last culprit, Roger Retinz. From maximum hate and enjoyment of his convction to complete sadness and sympathy.
The moment that whole toxic lawyer-hating bs takes a backseat and it is all about the bigger plot ,the feels and the characters, Spirit of Justice shines its brightest.
Uhh... about the first thing you said... not exactly the victim, but Terry Fawles would like to have a word with you.
48:38 - *Maya:* I feel great! I guess that means he didn't leave any- OH GOD, MY LEGS! Why do my legs hurt so much!?
Or maybe Maya had the capability to do such poses, but never actually did them!
It would still hurt like hell afterwards.
15:47 You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That playing card! Are you telling me that a drop of blood just happens to fall like that? No! *He* orchestrated it! Phoenix! He *cross-examined* a *parrot* !
AND an ORCA!
I was waiting for this comment and I was not disappointed. God, I love the Better Call Saul fandom.
But not our Feenie! Couldn’t be precious Feenie! Bluffing them blind. And he gets to be an Ace Attorney?!
This case is REALLY fantastic. Imagine someone using murder BECAUSE of the magatama, bracelet, or mood matrix.
So goddamn cool.
Yet another Ace Attorney case where the victim was actually a terrible person and the guilty party was forced into a tragic scenario.
Gotta say though, I *definitely* didn't see it coming for this case.
The cases where "the victim was actually a terrible person" are my favorite ones due to the very interesting murder plots they create. My favorite example is 4-2 where the victim thought he killed the murderer and went as far as to steal a noodle stand in order to hide their body creating a beautiful mess of a case
58:05 That's such an in-character thing for Maya to say, even at a moment like this.
i remember being so shocked learning the truth, and then going back and rewatching the divination seance with the new context
Especially the first one
Phoenix being the only one concerned for Mayas safety :" It's truly them two besties against the world
TBF everyone there is xenophobic.
Phoenix would do anything for Maya, even walk over burning coals
I think this is the saddest case in all of Ace Attorney. The scene where Beh’leeb uses the Magatama of Parting to send Tabrust back into the spirit world is such a huge tear jerker, and makes me cry every time I watch it. Easily my favorite case in the game.
Yeah, this part right here. I was recently replaying the series because of the release of the Apollo Justice Trilogy, and when I got to this case again, it hit me so hard the second time around, I had a legit cry over it. Not just teary eyed, but full on bawling. The feeling started as soon as I finished the mind scene with Phoenix, and then really swelled up once the sorrowful music played during Tahrust's explanation, finally letting it all out during the cutscene with the Magatama of Parting.
Even now, watching this again, I'm getting very emotional during it, though only to the point of teary eyed.
56:25 What Lady Beh'leeb does here is a callback to episode 22 at 10:55
Rayfa: "Do you see that red mark upon [Lady Kee'ra's] brow? That is the character for 'death' in Khurainese. It is a mark of resolve to fight to the end."
Given all the unnecessary flashbacks in this series , I'm surprised they missed this one :/
"There is no weapons in the Inner Sanctum...except for the thing that has already been stated to be a murder weapon"
Remember when one of the first things you said about Tahrust's Divination Séance was that it looked more like _he_ was walking up to Lady Kee'ra, instead of the other way around? Well, now you know why: that's exactly what happened.
Case 3 Syndrome this certainly ain't 👏
We now end one of the most emotional cases in the franchise. So it only makes sense that we enter the funniest case in the whole franchise!
I can guarantee that the next case was written purely to see how far they could go with their localization team.
Uendo is PEAK and a ICON, and Geiru has TRANSCENDED Ace Attorney to be FAMOUS.
...Bucky... exists, whether we... like it or not......
@@Blarglesnarfe I mean, you could say that Bucky is a funny parody of Teruteru Hanamura.
“AVRIL LAVIGNE!!!” “I TOLD YA TO WAIT A SEC AIN’T I!? What ya’ll even sayin’ anymore!? I tell ya I was in dat der’ dinin’ hall durin’ da’ blackou’!!!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lucah is going to love the next case🎈🎈
Sheesh. First Rayfa learns that she needs her Insights interpreted properly to avoid wrongful verdicts, then she learns people outside of the royal family can channel spirits, and now she learns that her father sanctioned murder *and* that it caused someone to end themselves in such a way as to frame someone else! The only way things could go worse for her is if the show-runner(s) of The Plumed Punisher went up to the stand and just flat-out admitted that it’s a rip-off of The Steel Samurai.
Nahyuta’s “Putrid” counter: 4
Total: 26
Nahyuta’s “Let it go, and move on” counter: 1
Total: 11
Don’t forget to show your badge to everyone, and check their profiles often.
To make matters even worse, she learned all of these things in the very same chapter, in the span of just 2 days!
I think what's worse is that since her insights can be manipulated, it makes her question the ones she's done in the past IF she has seen the truth at all or not. That means depending on how long she's been doing this, she's realizing how she has possibly sent a lot of innocent people to their death when they're convicted and has innocent blood on her hands.
If that’s devastating to her wait til she here’s about the Pink Princess and the Nickel Samurai. Or the other various shows from 2-4.
I do love the joke that the Steel Samurai is the original Star Wars, Nickel Samurai is the prequels, and the Plumed Punisher is the atrocity of the sequels. They love that joke so much.
@@Kaempfdog and the pink princess is what?
@@bito1959 Solo? Rogue One? Return of the Jedi? I’m not sure. No one really talks about it enough other than it was a success.
Oh, you'll LOVE the next one too i'm sure
This trial has so many great twist everywhere, best of them being the final one, being completely unpredicted by me when I first played. I love this case to death, it's so well written !
It's amazing when you think about it, the first murder for which Maya was judged for, actually happened after the one that technically saved her life
And now, I present to you... the very first time I've ever teared up at a piece of media. Tahrust's suicide reveal, as well as his and Beh'leeb's goodbye, really got to me. Something about the love shared between older people, love strong enough to die for... it really got to me.
Maya's caring, happy face is something I wish we could see more of. It's my favorite new expression of hers.
Yep. This is where it gets real sad. Honestly, this entire case is tragic and heartbreaking when it comes to the Inmee's.
As much as I love this case, I am so excited to move on to Storyteller, with one of my favourite witnesses ever
Heh, I wonder why?.
@@toumabyakuyaI can guess two big reasons.
@@KlaxyndPlease tell me you're talking about the hat, Your Honor.
49:59 Beh'leeb it!
Now we're getting somewhere. Revealing how much the DC act hurts the ordinary people, how criminals have learned to plan their crimes to thwart the seances. Should be interesting see which side Nahyuta comes down on, though I hope he doesn't become too much like Miles Edgeworth- there can be only one.
When I first played this trial I was unfortunately spoiled on Tahrust’s death, and I think that left me in a bit of a salty mood and didn’t enjoy the rest of the trial as much as I might have done. But looking back at this one years later, it was really well-written. Just like Danganronpa has its own unique rules and twists that you see in the trials, this one made great use of the spirit-channelling we’re familiar with, as well as the new divination seance and the DC act. You’d only get a trial like this in Ace Attorney!
Also, Nahyuta has spent all case insulting you and trying to get you killed. KILLED.
And at the end just shakes his fist and going "One ah dese days Wright! One ah dese days!!!"
While I don't utterly despise Sahdmadhi at the end of all things; I do think people give him way too much of a free pass for his attitude and actions in the early on cases.
I suppose it doesn't help that his incredibly petty vocabulary ("putrid", "vile", etc) makes him seem infuriatingly childish and even when everything's said and done: I still find myself not caring so much for him as a person.
@@BackwardRocketStudios Seriously! The dude was so insufferable that he made me re-evaluate my image of Franziska.
Also, HI! IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU HERE! Your work with the Cinematic Dub of Ace Attorney is astonishing! :D
@@BackwardRocketStudiosI really wish the narrative called him out on his crappy behavior and treated it as something to work on instead of having it just be his whole personality. He's the only main prosecutor I don't want to see come back in a potential future game and a lot of it has to do with how much of a petty asshole he is.
@@Neon-RainI hate when the other characters let him get away with acting like this and no one can tell his to shut his mouth. Same with other characters.
@@Neon-Rain The thing that really gets me about his intro in case 2 is the Judge being all "Well this is a learning experience for us"
NO, JUDGE: he's here in OUR COUNTRY; it's his job to learn from us, not the reverse.
Phoenix having that "Warrior of Light at the end of any dungeon past Heavensward" energy
This trial was amazing, but wow, it also had so much sadness, the couple with a tragic ending, Rayfa realizing she's been used, Nahyuta facing the corruption of the legal system and now, revolution. Surely things can't get worse... right?
I can’t believe Lucah’s first assumption way back during the first Insight was correct!!!
Honestly, I never even thought of Tahrust being the one who killed himself until right up to the rethinking portion. I didn't even consider that at all when I played the game - it took me completely off guard.
Maybe it's me, but Rayfa and Sebastian Debeste share some similar parallels. Both were raised to believe a certain viewpoint. Both have dad's that are in the highest position of law. Both have had their viewpoints shatter and forced to question what they believe in. Both even have dads that are corrupt and willingly have people killed off. Feels like they'd be good friends.
Sebastian would be significantly older than Rayfa by now, but I can totally see him taking on a similar big brother/mentor role for Rayfa as people like Mia for Phoenix, Apollo for Trucy, etc
the key difference is that rayfa's family are s mch more powerful
Man. The writers really got their value out of the first ever dead, channeled witness.
They made him literally flex, enjoy a head of hair, and in a courtroom full of people who both appreciate spirit channeling and know the victim.
Above all, they made him the culprit and figured out a motive for a suicide.
It also explains why He's fighting so hard to disprove the testimony😮
There's a lot of things I feel bad for and feel sad for when playing or watching something, but this case is one of those many moments that actually made me tear up.
As well as setting up so much, one of my favorite cases in ace attorney for sure, bitter sweet, tear jerking, and Maya being so mature at the end.
Imo, this is one of the best cases in the franchise.
BEST. THIRD. CASE. Absolutely fucking incredible story.
I'm surprised someone as innuendo-brained as Lucah never commented on the copious use of the word "strap" to describe an item belonging to a female character 🤔
This is my favourite case in the game, maybe even the whole series. It's such an intricate, but not overly-complicated case that does an absolutely stunning job of playing with your expectations at every turn, gives you one of the best examples of sympathetic antagonists, does a lot of new and unique things that previous cases had never really tried before, and even finishes with an ending that could honestly make you cry. No case in Ace Attorney has ever averted "third case syndrome" so hard. Cases like this are what makes Spirit of Justice so good.
Congratulations on reaching the halfway point of the game, Lucah! I'm glad you're enjoying it so much.

Welcome back Unlimited Penalty
The next case should take maybe two or three videos to finish, then after that the longest case in the entire Ace Attorney franchise, which will, all by itself, probably take you fifteen to twenty videos to finish, a total of about 12 hours.
I don't consider these spoilers because I didn't give any specific details about the cases.
Damn, Tahrust had the perfect frame up. If not for the slip up of saying the theme song had Taiko drums (this is where I learned what they sounded like) he would have sent Phoenix and Maya to the gallows. I'm glad he wasn't all bad but to think someone who Maya thought of like an older brother was like that. I get he was covering for his wife, but honestly Beh'leeb could have told Wright she did it and had him defend her on charges of justified self defense.
Can't wait for Case 4.
Let's not forget that it was ingrained in not only them, but most Khurainese, that lawyers are not to be trusted. She most likely wouldn't have trusted him either.
War breaks out.
Maya and Phoenix “Welp that’s just another day”
*laugh track plays*
Little do people know maya holds the Guinness book of world record for most arrests
Spoilers
The ending of this case still gets me. The real suspected culprit was confirmed….to be an unwilling killer. One of the victims turned out to be a traitorous scumbag to the family, and the other has to sacrifice himself to take suspicion off his wife. He could’ve even gotten away with it….had he not dragged Maya in to be the accused. Truly a tragedy born of the accursed defense culpability act.
(also spoilers)
Every time I think about this case, I ask myself "Isn't there something he could've done to protect his wife that *didn't* involve almost sending 2 innocent people to their deaths?", but that's the thing: There wasn't. The best-case scenario would be that Tahrust would ask Phoenix to defend Beh'leeb, but even if he did, there'd be no way to prove that she killed Puhray in self-defense, so their lives could've still been in danger. The couple really was backed into a corner by the corrupt monarchy's laws. Which makes the ending, where Beh'eeb vows to avenge her husband's death by joining the revolution, so much more impactful!
Yeah so many things were in play that made it nigh impossible for the high priest to consider alternative methods. His disciple going missing would spark suspicion, and there would inevitably be a search in related areas. And with Puh'ray's identity being heavily linked with the high priest's family, they'd also be investigated thoroughly. Plus, the spring in the hideout area was already stained with his blood, and with the ceremony taking place not long after, there was practically no other time to cover up their tracks.
@kielkazuya1626 The thing that rubs me the wrong way is that Behleeb screws off with the rebels at the end of the case. Obviously Tahrust either didn't want her to do that or thought it was impossible, but as the player we clearly see that leaving with Dhurke was a viable option, as opposed to murdering an innocent foreigner by framing her as a serial killer.
This next case is something of a breather episode--in as much as anything in these games is. It's a chance to recover from *gestures at the Inmee family* All THAT.
I really liked this one. I kept coming up with theories, and every time some new piece of evidence would pop up that completely changed things. It was a very well layered story that kept you at pace with phoenix, and never too far ahead.
Something this game has in common with the first Great Ace Attorney is that in a twist of fate, the third case is the best.
I love how this case finishes. It's such an unexpected ending, yet it makes so much sense. Between the end of the day 1 trial and this conclusion, this case breaks through a lot of the tropes that Ace Attorney has established over the years.
Yeah, this was a fantastic case; for the last few Ace Attorney games, it's been either the last or the next to last case where I start really getting into it, but Christmas comes a little early for Spirit of Justice
I think it's pretty safe to say that Tahrust and Be'leeb are parallels to Phoenix and Maya. Be'leeb is a action-hero show nerd, and Tahrust went to extreme and dangerous lengths for the sake of her, just like Phoenix when he ran across the burning bridge in 3-5.
I really love how this trial ends, with Beh'leeb sending her husband back and he gives her a smile at the very end. And then how Maya is like "I feel great!" not only because he left without regrets, but also because Tah'rust gave her 10 years worth of yoga stretches during the course of his testimony.
And thus ends what many consider to be one of the best and most devastating cases in the entire series, up there with the likes of 2-4 and 3-5. _And it's not even the game's finale._
In our next exciting case: Balloons.
They float…
With this case... the situation reminds me of the 'key words' of another murder mystery (partially) visual novel I've read, Umineko when they cry.
"without love, it cannot be seen."
Obviously it's different here than the origin game, but... the words still ring true for this case.
you are not dumb, please believe in yourself. we have loved you since the earliest days. we do like you
Girl, I am liking this hour-long video and even commenting to appease the gods.
Imma even like my own comment.
I think this case is the only time in the series a culprit has not been cross-examined....for reasons other than being dead.
There are a couple instances of a culprit not being cross-examined on account of being the prosecutor of the case, as with Godot.
Some other culprits that weren't cross examined include...
1-4) When it comes to DL-6, Dracula was never cross examined, due to him being the prosecutor and the culprit.
3-5) Again, same reason. The culprit was never cross examined due to him being the prosecutor and the culprit.
4-4) As you said, some culprits weren't cross examined because they were dead (in this case, Magnifi Gramarye was his own killer).
6-3) Exactly as you mentioned.
And that's all, I'm pretty sure. But you could discount Dracula due to him being cross-examined in other games (Investigations 2, case 3). That leaves us with Godot and Behleeb being the only culprits not to have a cross examination sequence, and Behleeb to be the only one not to say anything at all in court, up until her confession.
Remember that spoilers are not welcome, so... I'm not gonna mention anything from the other cases of this game, the Professor Layton crossover or the Great Ace Attorney series - only the cases Lucah has seen thus far have been counted (especially because I haven't seen Professor Layton or The Great ace Attorney stuff :/ )
completely forgot about prosecutors oops
There was that one case where the culprit was never cross-examined because there never was a culprit to begin with.
Anyone ever notice the similarities between the cause of death in this case and that of Turnabout Samurai? In both cases, the victim was originally trying to murder the culprit. Also, in both cases, the culprit pushed the victim in self-defense (or in this case, pushed an object toward him.) And finally, in both cases, the act of self-defense caused the victim to land on something sharp.
38:54- This track is titled, "Reminiscence ~ A Final Conversation", and yeah, without spoiling it for those who haven't yet watched the video, it does a *really* good job at setting the mood during this scene.
God, this one hurts so bad. But its also so good as the emotional climax of how fucked the DCA is as a concept and how the current regime in Khura'in has to go down
Man, what a case
The music that starts here around 38:54 is titled "Final Conversation", and the music that plays during the end cutscene is "Farewell, once again"
And that to me just makes this whole thing even sadder
I don't remember if we had a case before where we don't even cross-examine the guilty party, I could be wrong though
There's still so much more to this game, and I cannot wait to see your reactions to it once it truly unfolds
Here's hoping you enjoy the next case
That one is actually one of the few AA cases I haven't seen in full, so I'll be excited to see the next episode :)
Keep being awesome Lucah, and I hope you feel better soon
9:06 Exactly, they’ve never heard it, which is why despite it being a different (yet very similar) song, the Seance vision said he heard the “Plumed Punisher” theme. That’s probably what he thought it was when he heard it in his last moments.
Considering how difficult it was for you to see things on the 3DS sometimes, I would recommend playing the console version of the Great Ace Attorney on your inevitable future play through so you don't strain yourself. Can't wait for you to play Storyteller Turnabout. Many meme able moments in there for your twitter fans to post and i'm here for it all.
That's probably the most cathartic not guilty verdict in this series yet. This case was so bleak the whole way through and the moment we finally win did not disappoint.
In my opinion definitely one of the best cases in the series so far.
that scene there made me cry a lot too. always so feelsyyyy
Got DANG, this was emotional AF. Why you gotta make us cry, AA???
I love how intrinsically tied to the series the Steel Samurai is and how relevant it is in multiple cases. And yes, it is still Nick's ringtone, but I don't think the midi version on his phone has the taiko drums. Also oof did this case hit hard in the emotions
That was quite the train ride.
59:09 "I don't see how it could be better than what we just did!" HAHAHA tahrust me, it won't be.
It does have a few pleasant surprises though that you will love.
I think one thing that I've not seen brought up much, is how this case might actually kinda hint at Phoenix and Maya's relationship, as much as the Phoenix x Edgeworth memes are fun. Such a huge part of the end of this case, is that Tahrust went so far because he couldn't handle the idea of Beh'leeb sticking with him and sharing in his punishment as he took the fall for the murder. He knew the DC act's penalties, and so much emphasis is put on the two taking what may come together because of their love. Which in comparison, the first trial Nick took in Kura'in, he wasn't aware of the DC Act, but he was already in the thick of things by the time it came up, and wasn't about to dip and abandon a kid. But with Maya, he knew everything going in, and there wasn't so much as a moment where he considered not defending her. Like Tahrust's fears with his wife, Phoenix stuck by her regardless of what may come. It's possible I'm looking too much into it, but hey. Interpretation is a lot of subtext.
Upvote to petition Lucah for 2 hour long recordings.
Kidding, kidding. Really enjoying watching you go through this! Have my like with thanks.
45:15 What’s most upsetting is, when you realize how screwed up the legal system is, the high priest honestly had no other choice.
It’s one thing to not trust lawyers and therefore not be able to approach Nick. But he honestly could’ve just used the snow to throw of the time of Zeh’lot’s death, moved his body to the plaza, planted the dagger, and left it at that. He didn’t have to stage his OWN death on top of that. But for one thing, the authorities would have figured out that the body was moved if they had found Zeh’lot’s blood in the spring, which explains why he’d replace the blood with his own. They would have realized that the murder actually occurred at the Inner Sanctum.
But more importantly, like he said, if he had simply tried to tamper with the evidence and got caught and arrested for doing so, his wife would have tried to testify on his behalf, and if he had been found guilty, she would have also been found guilty for supporting him (which is dumb, because even though the law reads, “Those who would support criminals will be deemed just as guilty,” this law was created because of something a lawyer did 23 years ago, so it makes no sense that it would apply to anyone other than lawyers.) So literally the only other option to avoid getting arrested himself was to literally disappear from this world. It was super clever, and no matter how things would have turned out, he was always more concerned about what would happen to his wife than what would happen to himself.
Also, let’s not forget that, since Maya was with him for the rite anyway, he had no choice but to pin this all on her, someone he had been so kind to up until then. Literally no one else mattered but his wife at that point, not Maya, and not even himself.
Thanks for the hour long episode. I hope you get better soon, so you can fully enjoy the next case (I think you’ll find it delightful)
absolutely loving this game so far!! I also do love the longer episodes so I really appreciate them and the effort you put in!!! excited to see where the story could possibly go from here
I think i actively teared up at that. holy shit that was so good
Lots of HOLES in this episode. XD
I love how the victim is the final battle in this case
This case ending makes me cry. Honestly, I'm kinda surprised that it took this long for a murder to be [spoilers]
a suicide.
They did this already. One of the murders in the fourth game turned out to be a suicide.
@@whisperstar13 I assume you're talking about Case 4, in which case no, that is not a suicide, that is absolutely a murder. The person in question had no intent of killing themselves and was completely unaware that the method of dying would result in any harm, let alone lethal harm. Of the other cases, we have murder with a blunt object, murder with a gun, and another murder with a gun
@@rohinkartik-narayan7535 I was referring to the murder during case 4’s flashback trial. The case where Phoenix was disbarred.
Magnifi Gramarye shot himself after both Zak and Valant refused to kill him, because he was terminally ill from cancer.
@@whisperstar13 lol never mind then I'm dumb. I guess I just didn't consider it because it's not the *main* main case in Case 4
i swear, Be'hleeb saying goodbye to her husband has to be the saddest moment in Ace Attorney history. like, holy hell, the reason why Tahrust committed suicide wasn't just to keep the hideout a secret, but to protect his wife and his unborn child! holy hell, Capcom!
58:44 “how can anything be better than that!?! ”
Me realizing the next episode : oh no!
I long suspected that the statue killed the High Priest due to how he ran towards it and Lady Kee'ra not moving at all. I couldn't tell if he tripped into the blade or not.
Yeah it makes a lot of sense. And it was super clever; if you look back, you’ll actually notice he arranged the robes in a way that made it look like one of the feathers on the statue was her dagger.
utterly impressed with Lucah for not making one "a butt in me" joke about the Abbot LOL
That final shift at the end was…unexpected 😅
Often you're quick to work out the killer/twist, this may be the only time I was way ahead. I guessed the real killer during first investigation and was just waiting for the cast to catch up, I never do that in these games. But it was awesome seeing you work it out in real time during the revisualisation, as intended. Your reactions, amazing.
My fav case after 2-4.
Believe it or not, this is actually one of the most controversial cases in the game. Many think framing Maya who was very close with both Tahrust and Beh'leeb wasn't justified considering that like Phoenix points out, they could have just asked him for help. The justification that they "don't trust lawyers" doesn't really make much sense either since they were both rebels risking their lives to bring lawyers back to Khura'in, and Phoenix had already proven his abilities in the first case.
Personally, I'm somewhere in between the "like this case" and "hate this case" crowds. I get what the writers were trying to do and I do find it genuinely sad but I also think the complaints are valid and that some parts of the case were handled very poorly. It's also frustrating to see Maya get accused of murder yet again since by this point it's a total cliche.
Anyway, despite being the most hated case, the next one is actually my favorite from this game. I hope you enjoy it!
I think it was pretty evident that it's not he didn't trust Phoenix, or lawyers, it's just that they were sparse and the chances of them winning very low against the law system in that country
But ultimately trying to pin it on maya and basically helping the prosecution just like what the minister of Justice would have wanted is not good
13:39 Maya mentioned that she traded her Steel Samurai watch for the Plumed Punisher strap, but she never mentioned who she traded with. She just said it was a fan. But once you look at the photo closely, you realize that she traded with Behleeb.
The stuff in this particular episode is a major reason I claim this as one of my two favorite cases. Still makes me tear up.
The episode title and the little snippet of the song verse in the description has never been more appropriate. Huey Lewis would approve.
