I love the characterization for Ray here! It definitely helps in explaining why he was hesitant when he met Miles again at first, but was able to warm up much faster than you'd expect for someone with a warranted distaste for prosecutors. Well done as always!
Something Ive picked up that nobody is talking about is the knockon effect of DL-6 and the IS-7 case, its been 6 years (at the time of the trial) and Ray still believes that the prosecution wont let him see the crime scene, obviously engraned into his mind (The moment im on about is 2:44)
You know, if the extended backstory that you gave Dahlia is anything to go by this might be the best outcome for her. Maybe being sent to juvie (or whatever the AA equivalent is) and getting away from her unloving home, she could get the help she needed and take steps to improving as a person.
True. That's why I had her respond in panic when she heard Mr. Hawthorne was there, because she knew that even if she's declared innocent she'd be returned to him and keep living miserably, and probably even worse if, due to this trial and Valerie/Terry's words Mr. Hawthorne could become suspicious of whether Dahlia was actually in on it, making his behaviour towards her even worse. Juvie sounds like a much better choice for her than that ngl lol
@@monsoon1303A good but bitter and a little bit manipulative Iris perhaps? She become nice but she is no fool to believe that she could live on by being nice alone. She may or may not accept Iris right away even after she is reformed. Partly because she thought Iris is too nice and stupid, not to mention that she never directly suffer the abuse her father had done toward her. Iris had Sister Bikini for support, Dahlia had no one and she stands alone. Especially since she would never met Phoenix, who could help her, in this timeline. There is also a chance that Morgan might seek her out for her plan to make Pearl the master of Kurain Village. Which depends on what she want with her, could either revert her back to the Dahlia we knew and hate or worse.....
@@Heylanda-fb9xb simply put, a less-bitter Dahlia Hawthorne would be what she pretended to be, in the case of Doug Swallow; her pseudonym: "Melissa Foster," Literature Major. A brilliant storyteller, she'd get out of her head as an _actual_ murder mystery author with an unrivaled and peerless tragic backstory herself. Nobody fights like a Fey... or a Hawthorne. But the two together, does give you a Pearl. "...But judgement looms over every steeple." With lofty glances, from lofty people. "... can't see past a Scarlet Letter." ^And they've never even met her... But. "Judgement looms over every steeple." With 'lofty glances' from 'lofty people.' Can't see _past_ a Scarlet Letter... ...Dahlia, have you really ever met her?
How funny. For the last few days, I had been creating a what-if in my head for Raymond’s first trial as a defense attorney with Faraday prosecuting. It’s nice to see what that would have looked like here! Side note: In my personal head cannon, Raymond passes the bar in 2002 after his experience with Gregory and von Karma during IS-7 and the aftermath of DL-6. He then faces Faraday in his first trial shortly thereafter
That could work too. I personally prefer to have him be more of an average-joe lawyer instead of the classic "genius super attorney who's conquered the courts by the age of 20" that Ace Attorney rubs in our face all the time xD
I remember she had taken me more than 30 hours to make lol, of course I'm gonna keep springing her up in videos from here to there xDDD Glad you enjoyed!
Ok... This was great! The job you did "rejuvenating" the character sprites is very good, and I have to congratulate you again on Valerie's sprite, it's too good. As for the writing, I loved how you treated Raymond, practically speedrunning his character development in a single case XD. The duo between Shields and Faraday is perfect, and if it weren't for the fact that I know this is more of a "one shot" I would be almost sure that Faraday would propose to Shields to form and be the third "leg" of the Yatagarasu after the case. I'm going to sound like a broken record but again, great job Debastian!
Thank you, mate! Yeah, I admit I had the thought of "Ray being the 3rd Yatagarasu" with how the video played out, but unfortunately I decided to finish it better sooner than later xD
This is my first time here -- this just popped up in my feed. I love the fact that Ray gets more screentime, and the fact that he still, even now, eats the paper from his notes. The Judge's brownish(?) hair is epic; it gives him a whole new touch that I didn't think I'd see until now. I didn't expect Byrne to pull a defense move and subtly + not-so-subtly guide Ray into the right direction, nor did I expect Badd to be the witness that they called. I also like the use of the music and CG use. I can tell that you worked hard, from the sprites to the storytelling. 10/10 video, would recommend and would watch again.
True ngl. While they're masterfully drawn with awesome expressions and animations, I still wish mushinpen had posted higher quality Byrne sprites. But we should be thankful we have at least those xD
@@debastiansebeste true, better than nothing it seems, plus imagine if we had byrne faraday ace attorney investigations, on the cases he did until his death
Saw this when it was posted 2 minutes ago. Decided to comment after watching because oh boy, this was great. Lots of twists, mini-arcs and drama with a fresh cast. Makes me think about how interesting it would be if an AA game could have one play as the prosecutor (like Franziska)
I really liked the way you write him too, from his past trauma, to his goofy attitude, to his unorthodox investigation tactics. Great job Sebeste! Also the second I heard Raymond’s theme, I just knew shit was going down.
I enjoyed this from beginning to end. I especially liked how you gave Raymond a small arc with Faraday considering his distrust of prosecutors after all the conflicts with Manfred Von Karma, learning that not all prosecutors are obsessed with winning. I was worried about Mr. Fawles considering how he responded to Dahlia’s betrayal in the canon, but fortunately no body had anything for him to drink and I think him realizing that he was being played by both sisters sooner steered him away from that tragic choice. I’m curious as to how Dahlia would be treated since she is still a minor in this scenario, but then again Machi exists so who really knows with the laws of this franchise.
Yeah luckily Terry hadn't got his hands on Dahlia's poison at the time so even if he wanted to commit suicide he'd be unable to, and forced to hear and accept the truth for what it is. Guess it's what would have happened in his canon 2012 trial with Mia too, if he hadn't drank the poison at all. As for Dahlia, personally I thought the court would either let her go free of charges as a minor who got manipulated by adults (hard to convince a court that she's a mastermind at 14 years old, so Valerie and Terry would probably not be believed), or send her to juvenile prison, though I don't think Faraday has enough physical evidence to convict her. Worst case scenario I think, is she'd be returned to her father's house and keep living a miserable life, especially since Mr. Hawthorne could now be suspicious of her due to the events with Valerie, making his behaviour towards her even worse.
This was such a fun “What If?” video, I hope we get to see what happens next. Also I like how the Judge looks, he’s younger but you still recognize him.
15:59 I will not lie, this moment was so brutal, since Dahlia did all of this to escape from her father. I'm actually surprised she didn't pass out or something like that when hearing this, since she was only 14 at the moment
She knew she had to play her cards right and make sure that old man Hawthorne would still view her as a victim if she wanted things not to get even worse between them lol
another amazing bit, really underlines how, when you've been through all this game series seriously, amazing vids like this can be born. you've used everything, SoJ OSTs, the anime, TGAA OSTs, and so nicely too ! can't wait for your next vid !
@@debastiansebeste you may have already seen me give opinions that bend towards underlining the importance of the music in this game series. It matters to me a lot personally and thus I think you're doing all those OSTs an honor by mixing them so well with your own objection.lols, props for that ! 💛
This is so cool!!! You handled the trial very well, and the twists and stuff compliment that so much lol. Also, hands off for the edits you've made to some of the sprites. They're awesome as heck! Fire vid as always, bro! 💪
Another good example how Investigations characters can be represented in original story) Cool! I hope to see Shi-Long Lang in new videos of yours, Debs.)
The judge.... With colored hair.... Damn Valerie animations look amazing too all of this effort... IT'S SO GOOOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!!! I honestly didn't invest much of my mind into the investigation games even when I played them, this makes me wanna revisit them but I always remember how much of a slow trip the first one was...
As said in the credits, the younger Judge is a custom character by Astra_Divina ;) Also **sad Portsman noises** Many people say the first game drags on a lot, but I still enjoyed almost its entirety. And the second game is a masterpiece. I say go for it 💪
@@debastiansebeste Might as well leave them a thanks from my part to help with the community and your videos! Heh honestly Portsman grew on me thanks to how you use him as a mascot for your channel! I just want the Investigation games to get outta the DS and Mobile prison then that way they'll be more accessible
@@debastiansebeste i have adhd and had many fixations over the years, ace attorney being one of them, and i totally understand what you mean. that shi keeps you awake at night 😭
At first I was a bit caught off guard seeing Valerie Hawthorne be portrayed in a way that's WAY more devious, until I thought about the time and place this is happening. In canon Ace Attorney, we only REALLY know a *post* character developtment Valerie, who after years of living a lie couldn't bear it any longer. She wished to make things right, and tell Terry the *real* truth. THIS Trial however, which in canon we get less of compared to what I described above, takes place BEFORE any of that growth happens. I must say, I quite like it.... Would it be odd if I said I felt more chills watching this Fanon take on Valerie than I ever did Dahlia in actual Trials & Tribulations?
Valerie is one of the most interesting characters in the entire franchise imho, and the reasons behind all her actions put her in a purely morally grey area. I had a blast writing her in both this video and the one with Mia channeling her. Glad you enjoyed the result 😁
The problem of not having HD Byrne sprites unfortunately 🙁 (here's to hoping that mushinpen will one day return and grace us with the HD versions of those sprites 🙏)
Glad you enjoyed, mate! Well, the next video is going to be Lana Skye's Parole 6, and I've finished about 60-65% of it already. Hopefully it will be ready within the next 2 weeks
GAHHH!!! THIS IS TOO AMAZING!!! Shields having a hard time due to Gregory's death and turned sour... It was a heartrending moment... But when he bounced back to the 'Uncle Ray' we know and love and eat the paper, it was totally worth it! 😊 And Valerie's surprise appearance! Full, smooth animations! Dear me, she's just too beautiful in this entire video ❤ Too bad she didn't get a breakdown, but I wonder if you'll ever make a sequel to this timeline when the sisters loathe each other in the open (and having back-to-back breakdowns) 😂 Ya- I mean, Badd and Mr. Faraday were also so cool! Too bad about the low-res, though. One day when someone make his HD sprites (or Capcom released Investigations Collection), please remake this video! It's just too amazing to have this one flaw! 🎉 Maybe for your channel anniversary or celebration? When you reached 10k subscriber or 100k views for this video? And not 'IF', mind you. Knowing your abilities, it's just a matter of 'when' 😊 Thanks for this amazing work!! Take your time with Lana's Parole, split it into Part 7 if you have to. Don't wanna rush a masterpiece. Good luck!! ❤❤❤
About my Valerie, I should let you know she has already appeared in my videos before, specifically in "The Life and Crimes of Dahlia" and "If Mia Fey used her Trump Card against Dahlia". Feel free to check her out there too ;) Also, thank you for your trust! I dunno about 100k, you're more optimistic than me on that 😅 But still thanks 😁😁
omg this video is so high quality and such an amazing story, this goes into one of your best trial videos, the only problem is that this is not canon to the game
Because I don't do poll favours :p In the description of the poll I was asking "Who do you guess it will be", not "who do you want it to be". See it as more of a quiz or popularity poll, but its results would definitely not affect my decision, as I had chosen Ray a whole week before the poll :p (Same goes for Byrne Faraday, he's not in the video because he won the poll. I had already chosen him before the prosecution poll too)
I have a high standard for objection lol videos, from storywriting and how it was executed. And going around places, majority of them are just made for shitposts, there's only a small minority who actually puts research into character traits, series' intertwining lores, and how the game's VN carries its story Those small minority usually can hook me up to even hours and make me stick around wanting for more, this is one of those small minorities
this is so Great! i havent been able to play the investigations duology but it looks so great! with byrne not your ordinary prosecuter,to the trial almost like a fancase this is so e p i c that i cant wait if there is a sequal hopefully no one died hahaha! right?
Huh. I guess seeing mia's old office look makes it the closest to having mr. Shields' office xD Edit: WTF. I FORGOT THIS WAS YEARS AGO. I WASNT EXPECTING YOUD FIND A YOUNGER SPRITE OF THE JUDGE. HAVENT FINISHED WATCHING. THIS IS GONNA BE FUN. Edit 2: oh? Did you improve the animation of Valerie's movements? Thats great! Edit 3: ah yes. Something i have failed to realize yet again. This is still during the time the Yatagarasu was still alive. Edit 4: huh. Old habits die hard. Even he still eats notes to get the knowledge past him xD Edit 5: finished the vid. Really awesome. Can't wait for more. (Ahem part 6 of Lana Skye ahem lol)
~Unfortunately someone gave me a custom Edgeworth Law Offices background (with Ray removed) after I posted the video, or I'd have used that one instead xD ~Honestly finding a young Judge wasn't that hard, since he was made by the founder of the objection lol discord server xD ~Well, I can't say I improved her animations exactly. I did add 2 more (her angry and laughing poses) but other than that I didn't change something ~Technically the Yatagarasu didn't exist at the time, as Byrne, Badd and Yew hadn't formed it yet xD ~I thought having the younger but not kid Ray having some elements from both old and kid Ray would be interesting, and eating paper was one of those elements lmao Thanks for taking the time to comment extensively mate 😁
@@debastiansebeste on the comment about Yatagarasu, really? I guess I'm too rusty to realize that fact. I always assumed that whenever I see Byrne and Badd on screen, the yatagarasu has already been formed. Even if the spy/calisto hasn't shown herself in yet. Also yeah. I sometimes do that whenever I watch vids like this. Giving like a live reaction of sorts.
This is a very beautiful masterpiece, I’m in tears. I think it’s safe to say this would be Dahlia’s best outcome/fate. At least in this scenario, I doubt Phoenix would be traumatized by her.
Well, tbh I don't know how happy Dahlia would be if she was returned to Mr. Hawthorne, especially since he might suspect her afterwards due to Valerie's and Terry's words about her involvement in the fake abduction. But it would probably be a better outcome for Phoenix lol
I'm going to be serious here: I honestly thought the judge was immortal and never got any older, nor was he ever any younger. In the words of Marty McFly: "Did that guy ever have hair?" This is amazing! I love the characterization of both Faraday and Shields. One baring his talons as the Yatagarasu, the other overcoming the trauma of Von Karma. I straight up was not expecting the prosecution to say "Hang on, before we take this any further: since you, the victim, are still alive, then obviously the defendant is innocent of murder." That made my day.
Byrne was a prosecutor who only fought for the truth and didn't beat around the bush. The defendant being alive and admitting to it was more than enough for him to drop the case 💪
There's two ways. Either you turn a character into popups (which wouldn't have worked here, or Terry would be standing in front of the Witness stand) Or the way I used here, where I merged Terry with the Background. There's no Terry character here, the only thing changing is the backgrounds each time Terry talks or changes his pose xD
Well, we'll see about it. I don't know if this will be getting a part 2 anytime soon, but a young Ray helping young Kate Hall is something I've been thinking about
The end was really a twist wow i feel ready to go into another video but first i will watch save data ace attorney 1 hour videos to keep in check with everything
_I bet he would still eat paper if his older self had an animation for it._ That's hard read #2. I feel like the luckiest bitch alive right now. (For any who are missing context, #1 was a certain big moment in part 5 of Lana's story). I also absolutely loved the choice to use Cornering Together here. ❤ And as always, writing the characters so well and connecting as many of them as you can in a way that works. This video most certainly hit in a special way for me all around. ❤❤❤
I dunno if I'm among those missing context too, unless you're talking about the Pacques Jortsman scene xD Thanks for your kind words, mate, always good to hear you appreciated the vid 😁
@debastiansebeste Yes, that would be the one. The main difference is that with that video, I came up with that possibility at the last second. Here, I said the paper thing much longer in advance. Also, I think I might have figured out why you used Cornering Together: because that's exactly what Raymond and Byrne were doing, alternating going off on the witnesses to get to the bottom of things in a way that, on a separate note, I found almost reminiscent of Rise from the Ashes (but I'm also biased towards that case, so I might be forcing the similarity here). You really put the "together" part of the name into the plot. ❤️
Uncle Ray and the Yatagarasu uniting to crush Dahlia's crime spree before it even began and save Terry Fawles. Awesome. We need to see these three team up again.
Wo. Wasn't expecting Raymond Shields in this video, but that's cool. qx Thank you for letting us see characters in court, that haven't been seen in the games. I really like Raymond Shields ☺️ Also, i liked the return of the notebook, old gestures and appearance 🆒 👍 I still feeling bad for Dahlia... She ruined her life by her actions...
Well, I've explained a few times in the past that said polls are "prediction" polls for the subs to try and guess who it will be, it wasn't meant to affect my character picking decision :p After all the video was already in the making before the poll xD
Valerie was only 18 years old at this time is crazy lol, a high school police officer. All Hawthorne sisters are teens at the incident. Forging a new identity is another crazy. Ace Attorney ages are batshit.
Investigations Duology gang, gather up ✊
Those two are peak AA.

Pretty much what the mindset was with his hostility towards Faraday. Glad you liked :D

There's a reason he was considered a good man and a fair prosecutor 😁

Heh honestly Portsman grew on me thanks to how you use him as a mascot for your channel! I just want the Investigation games to get outta the DS and Mobile prison then that way they'll be more accessible
the time and dedication you put into these things to be as canon feeling as possible is actually incredible
Thanks mate :D
@@debastiansebeste you’re welcome! honestly, your videos make me question how much of an ace attorney fan i am ☠️
@@realpersonxd being a normal fan is fine, being an unhealthily obsessed fan like me has its own downside trust me xDD
@@debastiansebeste i have adhd and had many fixations over the years, ace attorney being one of them, and i totally understand what you mean. that shi keeps you awake at night 😭
At first I was a bit caught off guard seeing Valerie Hawthorne be portrayed in a way that's WAY more devious, until I thought about the time and place this is happening.
In canon Ace Attorney, we only REALLY know a *post* character developtment Valerie, who after years of living a lie couldn't bear it any longer. She wished to make things right, and tell Terry the *real* truth.
THIS Trial however, which in canon we get less of compared to what I described above, takes place BEFORE any of that growth happens.
I must say, I quite like it.... Would it be odd if I said I felt more chills watching this Fanon take on Valerie than I ever did Dahlia in actual Trials & Tribulations?
Valerie is one of the most interesting characters in the entire franchise imho, and the reasons behind all her actions put her in a purely morally grey area. I had a blast writing her in both this video and the one with Mia channeling her. Glad you enjoyed the result 😁
Another certified Debastian Sebeste banger!
I love how everyone is beautifully animated and then there's just farady, chilling in DS sprite quality.
The problem of not having HD Byrne sprites unfortunately 🙁 (here's to hoping that mushinpen will one day return and grace us with the HD versions of those sprites 🙏)
Another great video
I like that byrne badd and ray teamed up together
That was fantastic
Do you have plans for the next video by any chance?
Glad you enjoyed, mate!
Well, the next video is going to be Lana Skye's Parole 6, and I've finished about 60-65% of it already. Hopefully it will be ready within the next 2 weeks
Uncle Ray's IQ is so high. In the end, he outsmarted everyone... Including himself...
That's uncle Ray to you xD
Wow we've got younger Udgey sprites and everything here. Nice.
in character lols are my favorite kind of lols and i love your videos
@@questionmarkquestionmarkques the world needs more in character lols imho. Glad you like them 😁😁
GAHHH!!! THIS IS TOO AMAZING!!! Shields having a hard time due to Gregory's death and turned sour... It was a heartrending moment... But when he bounced back to the 'Uncle Ray' we know and love and eat the paper, it was totally worth it! 😊
And Valerie's surprise appearance! Full, smooth animations! Dear me, she's just too beautiful in this entire video ❤ Too bad she didn't get a breakdown, but I wonder if you'll ever make a sequel to this timeline when the sisters loathe each other in the open (and having back-to-back breakdowns) 😂
Ya- I mean, Badd and Mr. Faraday were also so cool! Too bad about the low-res, though. One day when someone make his HD sprites (or Capcom released Investigations Collection), please remake this video! It's just too amazing to have this one flaw! 🎉
Maybe for your channel anniversary or celebration? When you reached 10k subscriber or 100k views for this video? And not 'IF', mind you. Knowing your abilities, it's just a matter of 'when' 😊
Thanks for this amazing work!! Take your time with Lana's Parole, split it into Part 7 if you have to. Don't wanna rush a masterpiece. Good luck!! ❤❤❤
About my Valerie, I should let you know she has already appeared in my videos before, specifically in "The Life and Crimes of Dahlia" and "If Mia Fey used her Trump Card against Dahlia". Feel free to check her out there too ;)
Also, thank you for your trust! I dunno about 100k, you're more optimistic than me on that 😅 But still thanks 😁😁
@@debastiansebeste You're welcome! Ah, yes, I saw that your channel, but haven't getting into watching it yet. Maybe soon! 👍
Sheeesh!!! New sprites!!!
I really enjoyed this vid 🤩
Glad you did! 😁
dude, you're absolutely awesome. your fan fictions are so fun and well written. you make me love ace attorney even more
Aw hearing stuff like this always makes me happy, glad to know :D
Honestly, cant blame him. Paper taste really good when you get used to it
10:00 oh my god! i love the pumped up music here, what’s it called? Also, great work as always Debastian!
It's the Kurae (Take That) OST from the Ace Attorney anime ;)
omg this video is so high quality and such an amazing story, this goes into one of your best trial videos, the only problem is that this is not canon to the game
I can't see that as a problem tbh, it just goes into the large what-if section xD
Another banger videos! Like always. However in the defense attorney who won was Diego Armando, so why is Raymond Shields the defense?
Because I don't do poll favours :p
In the description of the poll I was asking "Who do you guess it will be", not "who do you want it to be". See it as more of a quiz or popularity poll, but its results would definitely not affect my decision, as I had chosen Ray a whole week before the poll :p
(Same goes for Byrne Faraday, he's not in the video because he won the poll. I had already chosen him before the prosecution poll too)
@@debastiansebeste oh ok
I have a high standard for objection lol videos, from storywriting and how it was executed.
And going around places, majority of them are just made for shitposts, there's only a small minority who actually puts research into character traits, series' intertwining lores, and how the game's VN carries its story
Those small minority usually can hook me up to even hours and make me stick around wanting for more, this is one of those small minorities
Also, are you in Untitled Courtroom discord server?
@@Raudent yes I am, I very rarely write anything though, mostly when I ask for assets and resources :p
this is so Great! i havent been able to play the investigations duology but it looks so great! with byrne not your ordinary prosecuter,to the trial almost like a fancase this is so e p i c that i cant wait if there is a sequal hopefully no one died hahaha! right?
Nice to see you again lad
every video is better than the last one, that is for sure!
Ray you can't leave us on a cliffhanger!
now suffer as you’re forced to make a good byrne faraday sprite
I already got good Faraday sprites thanks to mushinpen, the low res is a small price to pay xD
Huh. I guess seeing mia's old office look makes it the closest to having mr. Shields' office xD
Edit: WTF. I FORGOT THIS WAS YEARS AGO. I WASNT EXPECTING YOUD FIND A YOUNGER SPRITE OF THE JUDGE. HAVENT FINISHED WATCHING. THIS IS GONNA BE FUN.
Edit 2: oh? Did you improve the animation of Valerie's movements? Thats great!
Edit 3: ah yes. Something i have failed to realize yet again. This is still during the time the Yatagarasu was still alive.
Edit 4: huh. Old habits die hard. Even he still eats notes to get the knowledge past him xD
Edit 5: finished the vid. Really awesome. Can't wait for more. (Ahem part 6 of Lana Skye ahem lol)
~Unfortunately someone gave me a custom Edgeworth Law Offices background (with Ray removed) after I posted the video, or I'd have used that one instead xD
~Honestly finding a young Judge wasn't that hard, since he was made by the founder of the objection lol discord server xD
~Well, I can't say I improved her animations exactly. I did add 2 more (her angry and laughing poses) but other than that I didn't change something
~Technically the Yatagarasu didn't exist at the time, as Byrne, Badd and Yew hadn't formed it yet xD
~I thought having the younger but not kid Ray having some elements from both old and kid Ray would be interesting, and eating paper was one of those elements lmao
Thanks for taking the time to comment extensively mate 😁
@@debastiansebeste on the comment about Yatagarasu, really? I guess I'm too rusty to realize that fact. I always assumed that whenever I see Byrne and Badd on screen, the yatagarasu has already been formed. Even if the spy/calisto hasn't shown herself in yet.
Also yeah. I sometimes do that whenever I watch vids like this. Giving like a live reaction of sorts.
If the prosecution in ace attorney actually cared about jailing criminals and not winning.
How I loved to see Faraday as a fair prosecutor ❤❤❤ other options through the Prosecution Office would simply carried on Valerie's lie
That's what made Faraday awesome ❤️ (and why the Smuggling Ring got rid of him, unfortunately)
This is a very beautiful masterpiece, I’m in tears. I think it’s safe to say this would be Dahlia’s best outcome/fate. At least in this scenario, I doubt Phoenix would be traumatized by her.
Well, tbh I don't know how happy Dahlia would be if she was returned to Mr. Hawthorne, especially since he might suspect her afterwards due to Valerie's and Terry's words about her involvement in the fake abduction. But it would probably be a better outcome for Phoenix lol
The judge caught me off guard
I'm going to be serious here: I honestly thought the judge was immortal and never got any older, nor was he ever any younger.
In the words of Marty McFly: "Did that guy ever have hair?"
This is amazing! I love the characterization of both Faraday and Shields. One baring his talons as the Yatagarasu, the other overcoming the trauma of Von Karma.
I straight up was not expecting the prosecution to say "Hang on, before we take this any further: since you, the victim, are still alive, then obviously the defendant is innocent of murder."
That made my day.
Byrne was a prosecutor who only fought for the truth and didn't beat around the bush. The defendant being alive and admitting to it was more than enough for him to drop the case 💪
and then the Yatagarasu is established with uncle Ray as the attorney instead of Yew... the best timeline
Imagine a Yatagarasu who never betrayed each other. The best timeline indeed lol
@@debastiansebeste crime rate at an all-time low and the dark age of the law is punched to submission
I love your work sebeste
Just as expected, this is so well done!
By the way I have a little question, how do you put three characters in one scene?
There's two ways. Either you turn a character into popups (which wouldn't have worked here, or Terry would be standing in front of the Witness stand)
Or the way I used here, where I merged Terry with the Background. There's no Terry character here, the only thing changing is the backgrounds each time Terry talks or changes his pose xD
12:24 raymond shields joining the yatagarasu?
Great video 👌
A good one, but I'm a bit dazed on the fact that Raymond didn't investigate on the crime scene.
Everyone has a rock bottom in their lives, guess this vid shows Ray's version of it initially ;)
DANG.....I want a sequel to this, I actually want to see Raymond Shields in more trials!!!
Well, we'll see about it. I don't know if this will be getting a part 2 anytime soon, but a young Ray helping young Kate Hall is something I've been thinking about
I somehow mistook Byrne for Sebastian and was very surprised when the prosecutor was revealed.
Iirc Sebastian was 5 years old at the time of this trial xD
The end was really a twist wow i feel ready to go into another video but first i will watch save data ace attorney 1 hour videos to keep in check with everything
Using JTPaper's soundtrack, automatic W.
I absolutely love JTPaper's remasters, I always use them in my videos lol
It wouldve fitted much better if you did used AAI1 or 2 pursuit and objection themes
Sorry but no. That's completely subjective.
Personally I absolutely loved using the anime osts and cornering together here, and regret nothing:p
@@debastiansebeste fair point they do sure are good
as always great keep it up 😁
Omg amazing case. Love character development for Shields.
I hope there is a part 2. This was so good.
Babe wake up new Debastian Sebeste video 🤩
Damn bruh I haven't been watching ur content for months, it's still pretty good like I remember tho 😊.
Good to have you back then mate, and thanks 😁
I'm surprised that You wanted to do all this work just to satisfy us😊
I guess that You had to work for few days right?
Bruh, i got so caught off guard when young judge appeared lmao
I was kinda sad we didnt get front view Badd, then i remembered people with a beard in front view practically scares me
The TGAA British Judge was cute with that santa beard from front view though :'(
@@debastiansebeste i havent even started dual destinies
@@Oiki_chan1221 that's a big loss ngl, especially now that the AJ trilogy is out :o
@@debastiansebeste and its all because of my lack of a fucking pc/laptop
@@Oiki_chan1221well it's still possible even without a computer tbh, my first run of DD and SoJ was with Citra on my laggy android :p
Our Uncle Ray saves the day! 😂😂😂 We need more Sprites from him and Sebastian in the courtroom!
Heh, it all makes sense now!
Now that’s what I call “A Good Ending”. Best of Shields and Faraday, alongside Detective Tyrell Badd. 🛡️⚔️🔍
_I bet he would still eat paper if his older self had an animation for it._
That's hard read #2. I feel like the luckiest bitch alive right now.
(For any who are missing context, #1 was a certain big moment in part 5 of Lana's story).
I also absolutely loved the choice to use Cornering Together here. ❤ And as always, writing the characters so well and connecting as many of them as you can in a way that works. This video most certainly hit in a special way for me all around. ❤❤❤
I dunno if I'm among those missing context too, unless you're talking about the Pacques Jortsman scene xD
Thanks for your kind words, mate, always good to hear you appreciated the vid 😁
@debastiansebeste Yes, that would be the one. The main difference is that with that video, I came up with that possibility at the last second. Here, I said the paper thing much longer in advance.
Also, I think I might have figured out why you used Cornering Together: because that's exactly what Raymond and Byrne were doing, alternating going off on the witnesses to get to the bottom of things in a way that, on a separate note, I found almost reminiscent of Rise from the Ashes (but I'm also biased towards that case, so I might be forcing the similarity here). You really put the "together" part of the name into the plot. ❤️
6:32 okay this somehow turn in favor of ray shields but i think this its still a lose case i will subricrive to this chanell now
@@paulinhorobertogoncalvesdo2687 thanks for subscribing mate, glad you enjoyed
Uncle Ray and the Yatagarasu uniting to crush Dahlia's crime spree before it even began and save Terry Fawles. Awesome. We need to see these three team up again.
Wo.
Wasn't expecting Raymond Shields in this video, but that's cool. qx
Thank you for letting us see characters in court, that haven't been seen in the games. I really like Raymond Shields ☺️
Also, i liked the return of the notebook, old gestures and appearance 🆒 👍
I still feeling bad for Dahlia... She ruined her life by her actions...
What's the link for the music that plays when Valerie Hawthorne and Terry Fawles state their testimonies
"The Testimony" or "Shougen". It's OST from the AA anime
This video needs to be remade with the new collections sprites
@@Ultimitsordgmaing the collection sprites barely have any difference to the HD android sprites that I use here, so it probably won't be remade :p
Defense? Prosecution? All That Matters in the End is the Truth and nothing but the Truth thats the AA Creed in my book
Poor Uncle Ray better watch his back.
Good job animating Shields eating his notes
Oh my god!
The judge has hair!
It's insane how quickly Dahlia throws Valerie under the bus. 🤣
I honestly thought Diego Armando would be the defense for this trial since he won the poll
Well, I've explained a few times in the past that said polls are "prediction" polls for the subs to try and guess who it will be, it wasn't meant to affect my character picking decision :p After all the video was already in the making before the poll xD
Did a double take when I saw brown beard Judge
Seeing young Judge is kinda cursed
Feels blessed to me xD
GIVE US THE TRIALS BOI.
Valerie was only 18 years old at this time is crazy lol, a high school police officer. All Hawthorne sisters are teens at the incident. Forging a new identity is another crazy. Ace Attorney ages are batshit.
13-year-old prosecutor Franziska von Karma: *laughs in whip*
Need... for part 2..
