Turnabout Flash-Serenade - REAL Lawyer Plays Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (Blind) | VOD Cut (Part 3)

Edgworth: updated autopsy report Gavin: updated blindness report

Bee Movie, but every time the word "bee" is said it plays the Guitar's Serenade.

Sorry for all this text: If I recall correctly, the issue is Japan DOES hold foreigners if they commit a country there rather to deport/extradite them back*. There's plenty of foreigners in Japan in Jail after being tried for whatever minor crime or misdemeanor and just remain held there. It seems courts don't have interpreters ready on standby there, so if a gaijin gets a trial for "illegally recording Kamen Rider on his VCR" both the prosecution and judge just want to finish it quickly and "he can't even deny it lmao" gets a pass, with the Defense getting absolutely no help unless the lawyer manages to find an interpreter WILLING to take the stand. And why would they stain their polyglot name protecting a "criminal"? Japan is VERY strongly "bow to the system" it's ridiculous. No amount of piled up circumstantial evidence does the trick like in the US and even then prosecutors there IRL don't accept a case unless they see it as a surefire win. It also doesn't help not only they like their nearly 100% guilty verdicts to "prove the system works", if a defendant is found innocent, the judge and prosecutor become shunned by their peers and society. Society at large, the population and especially the people witnessing the trial, as well as the news media, basically mark the judge and the prosecutor as incompetent imbeciles who took someone innocent as trial therefore wasting public tax money OR as incompetents who let a criminal get away. The Japanese law system is SUPREMELY fucked and that's the whole point Shu Takumi's team tried to make with these games, with this one throwing away any subtlety in regards to that. And why is Japan like this? Because of a logical fallacy: "if every trial ends in guilty, it'll be a deterrent to criminals". For a small, abridged history lesson, I've read being an alleged criminal's defendant in Japan is seen negatively as far back as the era of the warring states, if not further back. The Feudal Lord and his retainers after all rule by divine providence, how could they accuse the wrong person? And thus it became part of Japanese zeitgeist, culture and society to this day. And yet it could be worse, it could be the Mexican legal system AYO *If anyone has anything to add to this, please do be my guest, my sources on this are a limited amount of articles and videos on the matter.

1:37:55 Apollo really said”source: trust me bro”😂

Regarding LeTouse's dying words, I think it'd be allowed under "Rule 804: Hearsay Exceptions; Declarant Unavailable" (b)(2) "Statement Under the Belief of Imminent Death. In a prosecution for homicide or in a civil case, a statement that the declarant, while believing the declarant’s death to be imminent, made about its cause or circumstances."

My condolences that you had to sit through this case not only to play it, but to edit it into this video as well. I've only ever played this case once ever, and that was MORE than enough lol rip

1:57:04 - you can actually day “It’s pretty good” here, and then Klavier goes after Lamiroir. In other words, impeaching your own witness’s credibility is not actually mandatory for progression!

"I hate this so much" unaware twain predicted it

My whole problem with this case, is that the prosecution is fighting tooth ans nail to convict someone who could not have used the weapon because of what the aftermath would have done to someone like him. Regardless of the "blindness" issue, someone like him untrained in firearms would not be walking around just fine after shooting that gun, according to the game's logic...and yet, he is.

Yeah this case takes the entire game down a letter grade. Its such a momentum killer and you could tell the team was so proud of it, the constant reuse of the seranade, the length, the message at the end about the legal system, all of it screams pride. Problem is the case falls in on itself trying its damnest to push that message. The key point here is lamirior being the only witness. If she cooperates then there's zero way they can actually even begin to charge Machi so the plot invents nonsensical reasons for her to hide the important information even if it doesn't make sense on a character or logical level. From there the cracks continue to spread no one brings up the obvious and checks machi for an injured shoulder or any indication he shot the gun, no one even suspects ema and apollo when that they were the ones who found the body and the locked room scenario only comes about if you inherently assume their innocence so you have to assume machi is the culprit by basis of being the only one able to access the only other way into the room. Despite that being just as flimsy and having zero motive for either approach. Then we have all the extra stuff added to pad the case like Lamirior's blindness and Machi being able to speak english. Finally we have the fact that this is a filler case only used to introduce Lamirior and show a bit of a lighter side to Klavier. Seriously cut this case introduce Lamirior in the second case instead of the panty thief and have her lie about her sight instead of what the panty thief lied about and we'd have a way better game overall. Literally every character in this case has act either out of character, against their own interests, or just completely idioticly to push the message of the series to the degree they are trying in this case and it hurts it.

Oh boy, it's time for the best case in all of ace attorney! Anyone who says otherwise is just lying.

Personally, I enjoy this case due to the fact its obscene and exaggerated with a 14 year old kid shooting a 6"5 giant using a gun that should have given him at the very least a dislocated shoulder. Then how Japanifornia apparently doesn't deport criminals. Why? Because it's meant to be stupid. The case is meant to show how the system needs to be changed so the game developers further demonstrated the problems of the ace attorney system, how the defense is heavily stacked against, how proving someone guilty beyond a "shadow of a doubt" doesn't exist and the defense needing to find the actual murderer, and how impossible it is to get your client acquitted despite the mountain of contradictory evidence. Ultimately, the franchise is about satirizing the Japan's system of "guilty before innocent because we have to prove the system works". The case was meant to collect and smack you in the face with all the problems found in Japan's legal system, its meant to be frustrating and confusing and horrible because that is Japan's system(exaggerated).

Sussy Borginians vented in electrical

Honestly I never knew people disliked this case, I enjoyed it. I liked the characters. And also I really liked the video tape mechanic just like in Rise from the Ashes. It's just so cool that we saw it from the start but the video keeps revealing more and more and more little things upon inspection. I wish Ace Attorney did this more

Still if Machi shot LeTouse he would have a dislocated shoulder why doesn't Klavier think about that

Thank You, i needed this. It has been a tough week. I'm at the bottom and i need some distraction.

Honestly, I feel like the way they are talking about the revolver is just really weird, especially because they are saying it is a 45 caliber revolver. .45 is the caliber used for a 1911, I honestly doubt that it’s strong enough to dislocate a shoulder. I’m not an expert on guns, but those statements just kinda felt weird to me.

I will admit I hated Klavier at first but as the streams went on I grew to appreciate his character

2:37:42 Athena Cykes would beg to differ, Apollo.

Now that I've heard it in a proper vodCut and given perspective, this does very much seem like a pointlessly convoluted case. They wanted to bring 2 things to light, but did so in an irresponsibly simplistic way. 1. International Affairs. Apollo is counting on the law to work the way that other people don't expect it to. He should have had to prove it before getting his resolution. Instead, his statement is simply accepted, something that the game usually gives to the prosecution. Now we know why this is bad for the player: it robs you of your agency, in essence the ability to make a mistake. 2. Systematic Flaws. This isn't touched on hard in this case, but towards the end, it becomes a valid question: how much is required in the absence of any solid facts? The game will attempt to answer this later.
