- This series is all about video game characters who have left me in awe at their power, whether it's the ability to survive a boulder falling on their head, colossal earth-shattering strength, sheer dominance over the game they're in, etc.
The nineteenth character in the series might not be powerful in the usual sense, but in the context of his profession, there's no one who will give you as much grief...

The best Von Karma line:
"I set my ATM card number to 0001 because i'm Number One"
Well let’s get all his money
Agreed
And this:
My granddaughter has a dog she calls Phoenix.
"Because he was number 1!" -Spongebob
No that is reserved for Stephen Karl
... There was something truly beautiful about watching Phoenix cross examine a parrot.
KashKey And boy is it better with dogs
yup... he also cross-examined a orca...
Even more beatiful than Manfred re-training the parrot?
NanoRim WE DO NOT SPEAK OF SUCH HORRORS
+Pyromanic8 I actually enjoyed the Layton crossover.
Von Karma is a character I would love to hate. Yeah the courtroom was an absolute nightmare because of him, but boy the game would never be the same without him.
Absolutely. Defeating him feels like Wright can do anything in the world!
The breakdown that he had, oh boy, that was something. It just felt so satisfying!
@@GlassEmeraldX25 edgeworth
Then along comes his daughter aaaaand...
Unfortunately that’s not where the ds version ends
I've noticed something.
When von Karma first starts sweating, his left hand is on his right shoulder. Where the bullet is!
I noticed that when I first played this years ago, I was like "Wait, bullet in shoulder confirmed! And we have a metal detector..."
*takes glasses off* Mother of God.......
He grabs his left arm in his normal sprites. That apparently has nothing to do with the bullet because in Ace Attorney Investigations 2 he grabs his arm even before he was shot. His daughter grabs her left arm too. It's a habit I guess.
Actually, he grabs WITH his left arm.
oh wait so hes a lefty person? OH OK, didnt care to realise that
He did everything, but he forgot to change his scream after 15 years.
B Student it us his cunning card.
I mean, he could of had some other vacation to give his only “vacation” less suspicion

He forgot to change soundboard
XD
also can we mention how useful maya is in this case? she gets herself contempt in court to speak up against lotta, she throws herself at a stun gun to grab the CASE SAVING evidence, and she even was the one who ended up proposing the theory that von karma did it
cody adams don’t forget she can literally call in her dead sister who is a legendary defense lawyer
@TheSearchingTruth true, Phoenix was literally useless. Maya and Mia did everything.
Pastel Flower Garden! I wouldn’t say he was useless, he was just saved by a lot of people including, Larry freaking butz , edgeworth, Mia, maya-and etc. Even Godot called him out at the end (I’m talking about season 2 of ace attorney the anime, I haven’t gotten far in the game but I did in the anime)
@@urmomoldchannel1768 that's because of character development,in the end of Ace Attorney Trials and Tribulations Phoenix does it alone,he matures,the trilogy is all about Phoenix maturing.
this case is when i really started to love Maya more than ever. she can be a bit naive at times, but she's got a good heart and an excellent sense of morale. she's selfless when it comes to defending what she feels is right. she's the perfect sidekick to Phoenix, never giving up even when he is feeling the pressure. this is also what made the final case of justice for all so impactful to me - even when KIDNAPPED and STARVED she keeps her morale high and even tells Phoenix to *get a guilty verdict* even though it would mean her death. Maya is amazing.
I love how even though Winston Payne is the worst prosecutor in the series, he's also one of the cleanest prosecutors next to Klavier. Say what you will about his skill, at least the man comes by it honestly and never resorts to cheating.
ChiralKyle Winston may be a bad prosecutor, but at least he’s clean
Gaspen Payne on the other hand...
Gaspen was corrupt as fuck and tried to get Phoenix killed, Winston was arrogant but fair at least
ChiralKyle Payne's new hairstyle is the one of the best goddamn thing I have seen in my life
Also, it's kinda hilarious (and embarrassing) that his record of seven years without "defeat" lasted longer than Franziska's...
True. Gaspen Payne, on the other hand, he's evil as fuck. Not only he tried to get Phoenix killed, he also turned a blind eye to people getting imprisoned/executed unfairly just so he could maintain his status as chief prosecutor
Not to mention, his breakdown is the most satisfying one to watch, period.
Nah,I'd say Matt Engarde's is more satisfying.Though von Karma's was very satisfying too.
Honestly Larrys breakdown is the most satisfying
Exclamation Larry butz... phoenix's friend... the one who first nicknamed him nick... the first suspect in phoenix's first trial... the lady's guy who gets no ladies... orange shirt and spiky hair... that Larry...
while i did love von karma's breakdown with all the evil in my soul, damon gant's breakdown brought me life. rise of the ashes took me so long to finish; seeing him finally break was such a highlight.
I think kristoph's breakdown was great too
"Lmao Von Karma This Proves u did murder"
*Taze*
"Now it doesn't eeks dee"
this was funnier than it was supposed to be
agreed
*Sal Manella intensifies*
Alexandere re what l don't understand and what does eeks dee mean
XD
How Larry's testimony saved the day. 1. He wasn't an official witness so his testimony wasn't altered by Karma. 2. Even if karma altered his testimony, Larry is unpredictable and would say other things.
4: Larry is amazing...
6. If something smells, it's usually *not* the Butz.
7. Larry was friends with Edgeworth so he wouldn't make him look bad.
@KK CanDraw2 9. He can open the door. Get on the floor. And then do the dinosaur
Spineapple
The script in Phoenix Wright is much better than 90% of today's Hollywood films. And that von Karma, man he's such a calculating, cerebral bastard, talk about a five star villain!
The first part I agree with.BUT HOW DARE YOU CALL MANFRED A VILLAN
XxWolf_ ChanxX You actually like Von Karma? After what he did to Edgeyboi? You serious?
@@CYBER_N0T *Edgy poo
It's exactly that why he's such a great villain though. Would you rather have a cheesy one like any other?
@Skeleton Masher she's Francisca
xXgacha libertyXx
Are you Franziska?
Reasons why Ace Attorney is still the best non-fighting-RPG ever:
"Your Honor! I'd like to cross-examine the parrot!"
"You fool, that is only a waste of time!"
"To you it is!"
Uh...how is Ace Attorney an RPG?
@@Burn_Angel your *role playing* as pheonix in the *game*
RPG = role-playing game
Talisa Gibbard That's like saying I roleplay as X when playing Megaman X. Nonsense.
@@Burn_Angel OBJECTION! You are controlling pheonix. You literally are pheonix. If that doesnt count as role playing then I dont know what is. I play dnd and when playing as pheonix and play as my dnd character I feel the same and I know that dnd is a role playing game. TAKE THAT!
Talisa Gibbard I can say the same about my example with X.
Even if you want to call that roleplaying, it's wrong to call a game RPG just because it has that. I mean, most games have that, RPG or not.
I haven't played any Ace Attorney game, but from what I've seen, it's only an interactive Visual Novel, nothing more, nothing less.
Man, he must go through HELL in airport security.
Charbomber that’s what i thought first lol
This must be one of the reasons he never took a vacation.
That's why he never took vacations since it would have been almost "impos-achiev-able" for him with that bullet in his shoulder
sir why is this beeping if you have no metal with you?
VK:i have a bullet in my shoulder
get the cuffs on him
This game was released a month after 9/11 so I don't think the devs had any idea that the world will eventually have a tighter airport security... but who am I kidding. It's a videogame.
He's not just the headmaster of your nightmares, he's the headmaster of *that* headmaster's nightmares.
von Karma is Miss Trunchbull’s nightmare headmaster
*A wise decision*
Not for me.He would be the headmaster in my DREAMS!My nice ones.With Miles as my bf and Franziska as my bestie.Thats a dream come true
Wait, who's the headmaster of his nightmares?
@@blackimposter8419 himself
*Evil sounding "OBJECTION!"*
Is Manfred Von Karma a human or a demon?
It's hard to tell with that soundbite.
I was making a joke about how his "Objection!" sounds.
He's a human with demonic wishes, charm, and sadism
In spanish he sounds like Wario.
Wouldn't surprise me if he is a demon given his actions in the DL-6 incident.
What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets!
My question is, why did Phoenix show the letter to von Karma? Did he really think that let him know the evidence of his guilt was a good idea, to the man who could do anything to succeed???
There was no other way to continue the case...
Phoenix, rookie that he is in the first game, had a bad habit of confronting his suspects outside the courtroom. It happened before with the culprits of cases 2 and 3 as well. In case 2 the culprit responds by punching him and calling up the prosecutor's office to accuse Phoenix of the murder he was just investigating. And in Case 3... the culprit summoned a Yakuza squad on his butt and Gumshoe's timely intervention was the only thing that got him out of his botched interrogation attempt alive.
Thankfully Phoenix is much smarter about it in the sequels, where he tries to *avoid* contact with his suspects once he has decisive evidence on them and plans only to confront them with it in court.
@@genericanimepicture3559 How so?
Yep,i aways say"man,Phoenix needs a gun"
@@ivix6894 he need more..
I just noticed something. Karma uses his left arm for most things.
Pointing? Left arm.
Finger waving? Left arm.
Snapping? Left arm.
Slamming arm on the table? Left arm.
Holding a stun gun? Left hand.
It's all because of the bullet in his right shoulder! That is really good attention to detail.
Isnt it that hes just left handed?
Haha laughs in left
And the picture holding of him holding a gun with his left hand
Smort
nah hes just left handed
Ah yes, Winston Payne. The Whispy Woods of the Ace Attorney series.
Winston's Revenge confirmed
ruth mcnally Is Gaspen Payne on SoJ
That explains why von Karma was literally a Nightmare.
If Payne Was Whispy Woods.
Von Karma Would have been (Comparing to another kirby enemy) Zero or eNeMeE (Nightmare).
Or If comparing with a difficult boss from another game franchise i would say Egg Robot from Sonic 2 or Big Arms from Sonic 3 ( Without Knuckles)
Enigminator How has he not lost his license or something?
Phoenix can also be considered a pretty powerful character. I mean, he defeated the most powerful prosecutors in the world and survived cross-examining some pretty awful witnesses. Pretty great in the courtroom.
However, his durability is also pretty amazing. He's survived a fire extinguisher to the head (Case 2-1), many whip lashes (practically all of Justice for All), getting hot coffee thrown to his face without suffering burns (Case 3-2), getting bird feed thrown at him (Case 3-3), falling off a high cliff into a river with a strong current (Case 3-5), and getting hit by a car and only getting out with minor injuries (Case 4-2).
Eric Zhou Could have been a legit suggestion until you remember that Phoenix Wright got beaten up by Jean Armstrong.
Well yeah technically, he solved the " Rise from the ashes " case and facing gordot all by himself but in most cases he relied a bit too much on maya / pearly and mia, including the help of his " psi-lock " necklace that pearly gave him,
Also threatened with a dagger (6-3) and survived being knocked out by a skilled fighter (6-3 too)
I would mention the royal guards but A) its really not that of a power, they never shot and B) SoJ is still very new
and he survived dying from a panic attack when Maya was kid-napped (2-4) and survived through alot of bullshit witnesses and investigations
Also, Wright's Desk Slams are pretty potent too xD
I remember when the Judge declared the verdict guilty, i literally lost hope since i thought i lost the case and failed to save Edgeworth, but then Larry suddenly entered the court room and i was like:
huh?.. who said that?..
HOLY SHT LARRY!?? , WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
LARY!? MY GAHD LARRY!!! YOU ARE A TRUE HERO!!!
HOLLLY SHTT LARRRY GOOOO!!!!!!!

its never the buts

@@landonthielen7017 yes
Larry saved his friend, even if he stole him 38$
Von Karma: Perhaps you'd like to cross examine the witness's parrot?
Phoenix: oh ok
Von Karma: *You weren't supposed to do that*
The funniest part of that isn't that Phoenix cross examined the parrot,
it's that von Karma was *expecting* him to cross examine the parrot.
@@Bladehound83 He legit expected that phoenix would cross examine the fucking parrot (Polly) and conditioned her to not say dl 6
Someone once was declared guilty because their cat was a witness
@@Bladehound83 Damn, you're right. The guy's crazy thorough with his preparations, even a parrot didn't escape his notice.
@@CitrikkAcid Metal beeping boi I lost it xDDDDD
And to think he only appeared in a single case.
***** Welp. I guess I SHOT myself with that one.
He was in Ace Attorney Investigations tho
Phantaeon If he had appeared again, I don't think we'd win, tbh. It WAS Larry (by pure chance) that saved us
Well his daughter picked up the slack
@@radicallarrythemailman8269 ace attorney investigations dude...he appears in BOTH GAMES and the second one is when Gregory Edgeworth (yeah Edgeworth's father) fights him in the investigation of the 3rd case
My theory is that Von Karma was killed by the very prisoners he put in jail in the first place. So, yeah, he was executed, just not publicly.
Yeah,that's probably what happened.
If that really happened, it would propably be the most awesome thing ever.
he dropped the soap to many times....

Witness: So it was just a normal day...
And then all of a sudden, I notice a comment in the comments section of a video with a bad pun, and then they were guilty.
Sarons We do not need this, he has already pleaded guilty.
I was reading Tv Tropes and it makes Von Karma look worse
"Greater-Scope Villain: Nearly everything in the original trilogy can be traced back to Manfred, as his murder of Gregory Edgeworth caused the Police to seek Misty Fey’s spirit channeling in desperation, which resulted in a seance conducted by Misty that resulted in Yanni Yogi being falsely named; Redd White would then leak the seance to the public, resulting in his rise to power. Misty was then exiled and the Kurain Technique was disgraced, motivating Mia to become an attorney when she was older. Dahlia (and Iris) were thrown out, kickstarting Dahlia's life of crime and would poison Diego Armando, Mia would then take Phoenix Wright under her wing and was later murdered by Redd White to cover up his crimes. Diego came back as Godot, and killed Misty to kill Dahlia. And again, why did all this happen? Because Gregory got Manfred his first ever penalty, ruining his perfect record."
*i never realized this*
Jesus Fucking Christ. And here I thought raising Edgeworth specifically to make his life suck as hard as possible was enough. I never realized the bastard unleashed Dahlia Fucking Hawthorne onto the world, even if accidentally.
AAI 2 actually shows who accidentally caused all these events, but Von Karma definitely was the one who had a more “active role” so to speak, since, besides literally killing Gregory, he tried to get rid of everything that linked himself to that incident
Manfred: "You can't prove this bullet is connected to DL-6"
Wright: "What if I had a metal detector in my pocket"
Manfred: "Well if you had a metal detector I suppose you could, but there's no way- *what* "
inventory in rpg games in a nutshell honestly
*Phoenix, holding an entire goddamn metal detector* : hold still
I always chuckle imagining phoenix and maya walking into the courtroom with a whole ass metal detector
And everything else in there
“Where did you even hide that?”
“It’s… irrelevant to the case”
Did you save this idea of the video specifically for this day, knowing that von Karma will be found out on the 28th?
Yes, although now I'm worried that it says the video was released on the 27th.
It does. R.I.P Though that's amazing attention to detail with that date!
Blank Blank *facepalms so hard hand goes through face*
Blank Blank did you watch the video
Silver Rook omg I never noticed xD
Payne: weak but is truthful
Edgeworth: hard as hell to beat but forges evidence
You think you're about to win? *AUTOPSY UPDATE!*
.
I mean... Did he really forge them though... Rise from the Ashes brought that up, and... the only time that was confirmed, he didn't even know it was true.
@@HardGuess That particular part of Rise from the Ashes is pure sewage and should've been cut. It near-totally nullifies Edgeworth's character development from the prick he acted like in 1-2 and 3-4, not to mention it contradicts instances from earlier in the same game where Edgeworth knowingly presented clearly shady evidence and tried to delay the trial in an effort to get his own friend convicted.
That's a problem I have with some of the DS-era Ace Attorney games. For some reason they want to remove a lot of the complication surrounding Edgeworth and make it seem like Edgeworth was always a good guy, like 1-5 retconning his more shady aspects, or AAI-4 flashing back to the pre-development asshole seen in 3-4 and making him act nearly identical to his post-development self.
I actually believe Trials and Tribulations is the only game to really hit the mark with Young Edgeworth, even if the writing is a little strange at times. He tampers with the crime scene and only presents the evidence he took when the question of where it disappeared to becomes relevant(which is kinda weird given Phoenix has engaged in similar evidence-submitting shenanigans), directly insults Mia out loud in a courtroom, and just acts smug and contemptible in general, but he hasn't been Von Karma-lite for so long that he's totally heartless. After all, when Terry poisons himself, it's Edgeworth that tries to stop the trial so he can get help.
@@samgreenblatt7074 I never saw Edgeworth as the guy to forge evidence to win. I only saw Edgeworth as a damn good prosecutor with impeccable strategy. von Karma is the one I saw and went "he forges evidence." In fact, Edgeworth either uses or sets up one or Phoenix's tricks, using legit evidence as a trap.
@@fink_ratomg yes this, I’m sick of people acting like he needed to forge evidence to have meaningful character development. He has been a prosecutor for only like 4 years at the time of this game so it’s not like he has an unbelievable win record like Von karmas 40 years. Also he does learn and grow as a character from believing everyone is guilty and thinking his record is what’s important to seeing that the truth is what he really wants to fight for. This idea is continued and expanded upon in the next game. Plus he’s a pompous ass when we first meet him and still uses everything at his disposal to win, such as seeing the autopsy report wasn’t in his favour and asking for a second to see if he could get anything more helpful. It doesn’t need to be forged, it’s still a really annoying thing to do for such a small change in results.
Also I honestly find it hard to believe that the same guy who practically sabotaged his case to find the real murderer would be the same person who was still at that point faking evidence to win. He wants to win his cases because he thinks everyone is guilty, because his father’s killer went free and he doesn’t want anyone else to suffer that sort of injustice.
Basically people misunderstand his character, he isn’t supposed to be evil at any point in the games, he is just an absolute pos at first and Phoenix slowly shows him he doesn’t need to be that.
Also something people don’t mention a lot but Edgeworth was straying from Von Karma far before the DL-6 trial. For example, we see in the flashback case in future games that he looked and dressed more like Von Karma, even having sprites more similar to him and being an even more awful ass to Mia. He was never meant to be a mini Von karma, Von karma is meant to be him if all the bad things people believe about him were true

von Karma really was an amazing, devious, and and ridiculously clever villain. it's nice to see him getting recognized as such. sure he doesn't try to destroy the world or kidnap princesses or anything like that, but he's obviously a criminal mastermind in the guise of an attorney! another smash, Git. thanks for it. :D
Watching this really drives home just how much crazier this series has gotten since the original game.
BassAckwards Agreed.
You can't find a single contradiction, have a fake game-over, and It's two cases in one! It can't get much crazier...
BassAckwards Crazier? I mean, all of the games seem to have just as many crazy moments (For instance, a parrot testifying in the first game)
Especially the secret case that comes in the new remastered trilogy for Switch and PC (I don’t know if it’s available on any other consoles and I also don’t feel like remastered is the right word, but oh well) where you have to defend Lana Skye. That one is just insane.
@@CYBER_N0T You mean Rise From The Ashes?
That is my absolute favourite case in the whole franchise. It's the longest too
Hold it! I know how Von Karma died! Due to keeping a bullet lodged for more than 15 years, there's a good possible chance he got poisoned from the lead in the bullet. As age grows on you, your body begins to break down where keeping himself alive was possibly a lot harder on him and without really knowing, he was poisoned from the bullet that started to also break down inside him. Due to the trial and losing, stress levels had skyrocketed and with a couple of head bangs against the wall, that made him extremely sick to die without any kind of hint.
Damn I never thought of that
So technicaly, Edgeworth avenged his father.
So in his attempt to be the best like no one ever was, his body used kamikaze on him and he went back to hell to rest for 100 for another castlevania game....seems legit
When you think of it he lost TWO cases in a row! The Yanni Yogi one AND D-L6 !
Must be hard on him .

@@hassaanyasirYWL that's like saying that prosecuting attorneys make innocent people go jail.

@@lily91109 You have issues.
They fuckin hate the dude. I don't blame them. Even as someone who is just now taking an interest in these games, I cannot blame them one bit.
The battlefield of the mind is ten times more difficult, especially with laws in play. Violence, which is what takes place in most battlefields, is not applicable when it comes to strategy and careful verbal maneuvering. Winning is hard, especially when facing an opponent like von Karma who will do all bit kill someone to win.
For me I don't insult Manfred, he's a mastermind and the best one in the series at that, but he's not the most evil one you'll meet. The male and female titles for that goes to Redd White and Dahlia Hawthorne respectively (Kristoph Gavin comes in as a close second)

2-4 on Creepy Bad Endings for me, but same idea
I think Manfred was sentenced to death after receiving the guilty verdict that he rightfully deserved.
Manfred died less than a year after being caught. Consider that those in the series who we know went on death row were scheduled for execution clearly multiple years after their arrests.
Of course, we don't know what happened and it's unlikely we will.
+Master Knight DH He died in jail. Franziska says so.
Maybe he killed himself there
Plays Gary Jules' Mad World.
Her, Terry Fawles, and Simon Blackquill. Only Dahlia Hawthorne was executed among those 3.
I love how von Karma's scream when losing a trial is the same as when he got fucking shot
On the subject of Ace Attorney, can we just talk about how INVINCIBLE Phoenix himself is?! He and Maya were nearly "erased" by some mafia goons, he's been tased (as shown in this video), he was bashed with a fire extinguisher which gave him amnesia, several lashings from Franziska, was nearly poisoned by his ex-girlfriend, fell 40 feet from a burning bridge into the freezing rapids of the Eagle River with only a cold whereas he was lucky they even found his body, had hot coffee thrown at his face, got hit by a car that sent him flying 10 feet off the ground, escaped a courtroom that was set to explode, faced off against a death row convict and an international superspy, and broke his back putting him out of commission for the whole day. HOW IS THIS MAN STILL ALIVE?!

After playing Ace Attorney blind for the first time recently, you gotta admit: Despite his cold-blooded nature and cheap tricks, von Karma is an absolute genius!
His case was 99% perfect. It was so convincing that I initially thought Edgeworth really *was* the killer, and that the game was *designed* to make Wright lose the trial. After all; it's impossible to defend someone who really committed a crime! Thankfully, through very careful observation, there was a tiny rabbit hole which eventually led to a Not Guilty verdict, including the DL-6 incident.
"Edgeworth might have been talking about a fly he swatted"
I enjoy the idea of Edgeworth being so upset about accidently killing a fly that he blurts out "I can't believe he's dead"
Edgeworth after accidently killing a fly: I can't believe he's dead
Phoenix: Should've thought that about all the people you falsely convicted
There are literally two separate times in this case where people make literally last minute saves, once when Maya has to go to jail just to force a contradiction out of someone, and another where Phoenix has to convince the judge to rescind a guilty verdict just to let Larry testify after he stop the trial from ending at the very last moment. No prosecute in the entire series has forced this level of drastic measures nor has ever been this close to winning. That should show you well enough the power of Von Karma.
Have you ever finished Spirit of Justice?
You should play Spirit of Justice.

I have but tbh I was a little disappointed by SoJ. The final case felt deliberately over the top, the final villain felt cliche and unmemorable compared to villains in past games, and Apollo's past history seems to get more convoluted with every new game. Plus as someone who was never of fan of the series using spirit channeling deus ex machina, having it be gone from game 4 and 5 was refreshing for me, only for it to return in 6 again. Spoilers also below:
And they STILL never acknowledge that Apollo is the brother of Trucy. They still never find out that they're siblings even tho the audience has known since game 4.
Godot was also an extremely dangerous prosecutor too
"It was I, von Karma! You see, the witness *also* worked at the chemical factory! That's why they have no finger prints! And these ducks, they too worked at the chemical factory, so they don't have fingerprints either! And the murder weapon? Even that worked at the chemical factory! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Honestly, I wish von Karma wasn't convicted; when you're up against a man who strives perfection and victory above all else, simply giving him his first defeat in 40 years would've been just as satisfying.
Plus, it'd mean he'd be able to return in later games to torment Phoenix for tarnishing his win streak.
That's why we have Franziska.She's not as cruel as her father,but she's pretty damn close.
I was gonna say that the exact reason franzika exists
I think it's great like that, if not, either Edgeworth would be the killer of DL-6 incident or Yogi wouldn't have a reason to kill Robert Hammond
@@nopenopenopesomuchnope4137 She only did that cause of the toxicity living under Manfred's roof, after she returns she's kinda one of Phoenix's friends too
I think one of the best signs of Von Karmas waning offense and defesnse in this court battle, is that on the 3rd day, he actually tells the judge that the defense is ready with only slight reluctance.
Him saying that is probably one of the biggest shows of his weakness and backing into a corner in the trials so far.
When Edgeworth literally says he’s guilty but you find a way to defend him anyway
That's rise from the ashes plot too but with Lana
Tbh Rise from the ashes has a lot of elements from 4-1 and some from 3-5
Wait a second...
Im learning Deutsch rn, and "from" translates to "von"
That means we could say
*That he died von Karma*
His name is actually a pun in the same way. His name is Manfred von Karma. Substituting von with from, you get Manfred from Karma, then Man Freed from Karma, as in he was freed from any karma he could've faced (until Phoenix came)
20:00 For you see Mr Wright it was *I* who burned off the witnesses fingerprints at the chemical factory!
Imagine getting away with murder for years only to be found out because someone decided to bring a metal detector into court
Abd cross examine a Parrot
"Surprised von Karma didn't retrain the parrot to not say 1228"
I guess that is because he wouldn't guess that he would put the note in a safe since he did tell him to burn the note.
Jesus fucking christ, I never even played ace attorney once, but just Watching you describe the scene and seeing the prosecution progress MADE ME FUCKING TENSE AS FUCK.
How can i build a machine right now? I need to defeat sonic... Well, At least i will wait unitil i have a reason to do it.
Dr. Eggman IKR
Dr. Eggman I've never played Ace Attorney either, but wow, I'm actually interested now! This was intense!
Colias Palaeno so I suppose you've played every game now that your youtube name is the ambassador from the spinoff series ace attorney investigations lol
Colias Palaeno me too but I got spoiled in Dual Destinies and GK2 (and the spoilers are pretty much the same, a character who seems innocent but isn't so not a big deal)
Because this comment is no longer true.
Karma looks like Dracula.

“What is a man, but a miserable little pile of secrets? But enough talk, have at you!” -definitely Manfred von Karma
Wait i do?
When I saw Payne - man what a noob
When I saw Edgeworth - okay fun challenge time!
When I saw Karma - holy sh*t how do I beat That!?!?
I like how I say practically nothing in this case besides reveal the bullet
Maya Gilligan Fey shut up maya
Just like in every case :/
@@NeoGraena DON'T TELL MAYA TO SHUT UP!!!
@@trulygreg1797 its just a mastermind reference you idiot -_-
Cause you gotta give Phoenix his moment!!!
Oh, yeah, technically in Ace Attorney canon Day 3 took place today.
What clever timing.
Fun fact: Von karma has about 26-27 head bangs throughout his breakdown
His daughter's as cute as he is scary, though. I get that there's a good reason Godot doesn't, but I'm kinda sad that Franziska doesn't show up in the newer games at all.
Franziska and Gumshoe are probably the only 2 major characters in the trilogy who never appeared again post game 3.
@@l.n.3372 gumshoe appears in aa4 in case 5
@@vinnuvivek4296 He appears in the flashback part of Case 4.
Godot is dead, he only had a limited time to live after waking up since he never went for treatment ever since regaining consciousness
Didn't fransziska went abroad after the shelly de killer case?
I love how the pun in his name reads "Man freed from karma", when he's actually far from freed.
I never realized the pun lol
I’m four years late but: von Karma’s name is literally “Man freed from karma.” It makes a lot of since, up until his breakdown he never had to pay for any of the awful things he had done. Putting him in his rightful place is one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever done in a video game.
You know, I like to think that the guilty Phoenix Wright characters go to prison instead of getting justiced... Except for Von Karma.
Micky Ayy what are you doing here you watch git too? or just this video?
You don't have any knowledge about trials do you?
Von Karma may have been the most intimidating prosecutor ever, but Gaaran from Spirit of Justice is a very close second.
Syaoran The Fox I think she's a bit more intimidating than Karma...I mean....she literally rewrites the law in front of you
And she even plays mind games with Nahyuta...
True, but at the same time, when I took her on, I had plenty of experience with the game, and knew what I was doing, lessening her effect on me. Von Karma was during my first run through of the first game, and he frustrated me to no end, cause he wouldn't let me get anywhere.
Syaoran The Fox yeah I guess if you have previous experiences it lessens the effect...
However if you don't have any experiences with the game beforehand I believe Ga'ran takes the cake...
I will concede that point.
Von Karma is in my top ten great villains of all time. He was the only non-horror opponent I genuinely feared for every reason you listed.
Best von karma line:
My daughter dog named phoenix that mean that you are my daughter fiance Wright!
If Von Karma doesn't win the award for "most epic breakdown", then I don't know who does.
MrEvilbyte Kristoph Gavin
Or the phantom.
I'm leaning towards Matt Engarde for the most epic breakdown, though I might be confusing it with the most satisfying breakdown. I mean, look at his face!
Spiritnick in my opinion it doesn't hold a candle compared to dahlia
Damon Gant :D
During the case 4 trial, Von Karma has the ability to cheat through your lies and use prejudice.
You know, I think that the most hurt out of all the events happened here is Franziska. I mean, think about it. She adored her father and for her to learn this would have put such a dark spot in her heart. Also, taking account of the fact that Manfred most probably committed suicide in the jail(I mean, he killed a man just because he got a penalty, so it's very possible. Also the fact that Franziska never mentions her father too much in the second game and is not taking her revenge in his name but for herself, showing that she has lost faith in her father after all this makes it more concrete that he might have committed suicide) and for Edgeworth to "turn his back on Von Karma family". It makes her revenge plot that much more tragic and heartbreaking.
Also, writing all this, that image of her Scruffy tracker going on in the end of second game in the hotel flashes in my mind. I'm just glad that her doubts were cleared by the end of that game.
honestly Karma’s "Objection!" is one if not the most menacing thing i’ve ever heard
dang, that case was so stressful that I went through 2 Dr peppers
Kolby Miller who are you? Godot's twin?
YES I MADE A SOMEWHAT JOKE THE COURT FINDS ME GUILTY CASE CLOSED
Same dude
I went through 3 5 hour energies!
Finally, Karma getting the glory he deserves. I hate how fans of the series always claim others as the most evil or powerful villains, when it really is ol' Karma who's firmly at the top.
He's evil right.. but comes second to Dahlia lol.
He is a murderous sociopath, but while he has a bigger presence, he just is not as bad a dahlia Hawthorne
Dahlia and kristoph top the list for me, Karma is coming in 2nd
von Karma is the most powerful and evil villain hands-down. But at least I can kinda respect him for that. I hate _hate _*_HATE_* Dahlia. FUCK Dahlia
I think the difference with Von Karma is that his major impact is primarily upon Edgeworth and upon this case, Turnabout Goodbyes. Edgeworth is who he is because of von Karma. And there's lasting impact for Edgeworth as a character. And for Franziska. But for the player, his role is contained to a single case only. Meanwhile in game 3, 4, and 5, Dahlia, Kristoff and the phantom all have game wide presences and affect almost every case in their respective games. That impact is upon the whole game and not just a single case.
For those that can't read the Lub Lub fact because of the exit cards:
"Still no-one has discovered that Lub Lub is the alter ego of Lub Lub."
Are you going to replace Sullivan with Von Karma as the running gag for most hated character?
lsrrr something HAHA, HAHAAAAA!
Not really, because Von Karma doesn't have the Bullshit Brutal Uppercut
Sullivon Karma?
Doubt it. Von Karna isn't voiced by a guy who gave one of his characters an annoying laugh.
Don’t forget Jet from Bare Knuckle/Streets of Rage.
I though all this time Von Karma was executed D:
same
Or he met Simon Blackquill....
cuz he was
"and now The Ultimate prosecutor has been decided as the blackened"
@@helpmeplx1739 [von Karma objections] That directly contradicts the characters we know for a fact have been executed. They all died several years after being put on death row. In addition, Franziska von Karma outright states he died in prison.
22:40 - "Even the most powerful foes need at least one weakness, or they will be impossible to beat."
Also the video: *shows a game over by trying to kill a spider*
Every time I replay this game, I always say Von Karma feels like a final boss. And for a VN game, I feel that accomplishes something. When compared to zero escape which doesn't necessarily have final bosses, just final puzzles and even compared to Danganronpa, Von Karma is a bigger final boss than what the Danganronpa series has...except maybe V3 but we don't speak about V3
My theory on why Redd White freaked out so much when that list was being read was that Von Karma was probably the one person that was likely suicide to try and black mail. However he still probably may have tried to influence and black mailed people close to him. Had von Karma ended up feeling like a bug like that was climbing on his picnic he would have probably just erased that bug from existance.
Well the bullet was in his right shoulder for 15 years so maybe it finally got infected? Or it's been infected it's just been a curse that he believed would go away when Edgeworth was put in jail
translate "from von karma" in german and you get "von von karma"
He died von karma!
@Phyrion Aurum which one? super saiyan or clapping?
I'm three years late and have played/watched this trial over five times now and it's this video that I've noticed something. Along with finally realizing because it was spelled out to me that the book von Karma is holding is actually the case file.
When Edgeworth objects to his innocence and the game does the little flash thing of all of the characters reactions- all but one of them are the normal shocked expressions.
von Karma is *grinning,* HE'S GRINNING. BECAUSE MILES CAME THROUGH IN THE WORST WAY POSSIBLE; EXACTLY HOW HED PLANNED AND PREPARED IT.
I can't get over just how much there is to see in this game, I notice something different every time. This case really is absolutely amazing.
"how about you cross examine the parrot wright?"
"wait, *what the f--- are you doing?*
Honestly, there is one clear issue in the DL-6 incident from the get-go.
Edgeworth couldn't be accused of murder. At worst, it was what I believe is officially called "Accidental cause of death".
Also, it would be cool if Phoenix could say something to make his wild claim more calculated, like "It's true we can't get any witnesses, so we'll have to do with what we have here! And fortunately, standing in front of me is a person with a big motive and no alibi! Von Karma, the late Mr. Edgeworth Sr. had just besmirched your then-flawless reputation, and you were there in the courthouse!"
31:48 Phoenix runs across the court room and tears open Von Karma’s shoulder to get the bullet
Well,you know what they say.
Karma's a bitch.
Especially this Karma.
19:22
You forgot to point out that in The Final Case, The Judge was shocked to see Von Karma actually follow Court Proceedings and say "The Prosecution is Ready". Rightfully so, Von Karma is too arrogant for something he deems so meaningless. This only means ONE thing, he's nervous... He's afraid, he just doesn't want to show it. Phoenix showing him that letter has got him on the edge, The Bullet that Maya snatched from him will the the final push to his downfall.
Larry is a real pal, doesn't get enough recognized at his fair value ;_;
It shows you how memorable he is when he only showed up for 1 case in the main games, but he's one of the most memorable prosecutors
Von Karma is so powerful he didn’t immediately die from the head trauma of bashing his head into a wall 5000 times.
Von Karma: lmao wouldn't it be funny if you cross-examine the parrot
Phoenix: lmao yeah sure
Von Karma: you weren't supposed to do that.
if you played AAI2 there's an even more powerful prosecutor than von karma, i won't spoil who it is, but i'll leave you with that thought
You can't be talking about... HIM!?
HE... THE ONE WHO IS THE MOST EVIL PROSECUTOR IN THE SERIES!?
THE ONE WHO MANAGED TO COME BACK AFTER ALL THAT HAPPENED!?
ARE YOU...!?
WINSTON PAYNE IN TURNABOUT TARGET, I KNEW IT!
Godot?
"Although you never do any actual fighting in the ace attorney games..."
Franziska, Godot, Manfred, Blackquill, and Nahyuta:
Phoenix and co. don't fight back, they just take it because life has a sick sense of humor.
"YOU DAMNED AMATUER!"

This video is arguably my favourite from whoisthisgit.
The way he analyses one of the most DESPICABLE characters in Ace Attorney and how much grief he brought him,really makes me relate to git X)
