(Trials & Tribulations Spoilers) Godot’s Final Breakdown - Anime vs. Game

[@fierytigergaming8112]

NGL, the anime version of Armando's "The only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over" sounds better - since it's directed at everyone in general, instead of just being lawyers

[@psyllart]

oh definitely! I understand that in the game it was a direct callback to his advice given to mia, but it does have a larger impact when directed at everyone

[@JoseC687]

@@psyllart It hits even harder with what has happened in the events of Apollo Justice

[@agoodname6997]

That and the blood changes to tears as he says "these must be tears"

[@Zephhi]

nah I disagree

[@karlosgrullon4388]

I dont know if you cutted it but the best part for me of godots monologue is when he says that, if he really wanted to save maya, he would have contacted nick instead of iris or misty. its just so cool to hear diego armando admitting phoenix is a smart responsible man. game wins.

[@psyllart]

ah I might’ve cut that to make the video shorter! but yes that’s exactly what I love about Diego’s confession. I especially love when he admits that he could’ve killed pearl and he knew dahlia could’ve been pearl but he still picked up the sword and killed her. It adds a lot to his character that I really appreciate, and the anime didn’t explore that route

[@karlosgrullon4388]

@@psyllart tbh it's awesome how Ace attorney have done the "final monologue admitting the crime" like 3 times and each one stills hitting deep.

[@fierytigergaming8112]

Something that i've only just realised is that Armando cried blood, but the next time that the scene cut to him - he had actual tears, so maybe it was coming from the headwound too

[@tobysceptiman7058]

He said he can’t see red, so they must be his tears. So he cries blood

[@fierytigergaming8112]

Nice symbolism... It shows that Nick doesn't need to rely on Mia's assistance as much, and closes off Godot's storyline due to Dahlia being dead permanently

[@psyllart]

yup! that’s what I love about this moment so much

ANYONE, would think to look

[@therighttrousers343]

I like Nick's 'Your wound is *really* bleeding.' I know it came before the monologue, but it has the enunciation like 'no you idiot, stop with the waxing philosophical, you are seriously bleeding, it's pretty bad, get medical help.'

Being able to hear pursuit cornered made this final moment absolutely a banger. I even replay it because its that satisfying

[@Cosmicninja747]

Yeah, it would be dope if they animated Apollo Justice onwards

[@xestalfer5774]

Idk if its because you are controling Phoenix Wright in the games but the games has got more tension than the anime, the climactic moments feel more intense

[@Gabo2oo]

Because the game spends more time building up to those moments. What one doesn't notice when playing is that the dialogue goes in circles a lot whenever Phoenix is going to present evidence, gets asked a critical question, etc. They can only do that because it's a video game, and wouldn't work as well in an anime adaptation (especially if you binge-watch it).

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

Honestly, I think the anime would have been better paced suited to 40 minute episodes as opposed to the usual 25, but it is what it is.

[@RavTheQueen]

The game did this breakdown so perfectly

[@HyperDragoonHx]

Anime or game, there's nothing like seeing radiator face Godot go boom in his final breakdown.

[@miserabilit_yy1572]

Either way, I still cried on both breakdowns, whether it was anime or the game.

[@thesegundovolante]

Man. People rag on this anime for being super mid. I thought it was brilliant, so many times we've seen games get absolutely butchered when they are translated into other media. But this really felt like a love letter to Ace Attorney and this scene always rang with me because it brings the game to life so much. The anime deserves so much more love than it gets

[@luigimnz1]

Only thing I wish the anime did was have it's own version of the pursuit theme

[@nicolask.3825]

I keep coming back to this scene... by way of rewatching no commentary playthroughs on UA-cam - and, my, does the game sell it better than the anime. Every changed line hurts. You wait for "These must be... my tears" and instead you get "This can only be me crying tears of relief". Ew!

[@psyllart]

YUPPPP. the OG lines from the game were just elite, the anime was executed really poorly

[@pinkpugginz]

I wish. They made the anime more serious. It comes off as a comedy when really the game is drama mystery genre

[@gabrote42]

That last smash into Trial 2004 is one of the best music cues in all of gaming. I still get chills, in a way that not even Blue or Asgore can match

[@kyletakemoto9628]

...the game was better. The classic music playing, the slow reveal of Mia's spirit as they both do the objection pose, and even Godot's lines here make this scene something I will always remember. It's right up there with the murderer's breakdown in Game 1 case 4

[@maracujaizsrbije6738]

Even as we speak, you're still hiding the wound. It's beneath your mask... DUN DUN DUN duuuuuun is the best moment in the trilogy.

[@luigiluigix2]

As a franchise fan, I was a bit disappointed with the sorta of cheap production value of the anime for the most part--however they seemed to have gotten their shiz together when it came to Trials and Tribulations cause it closed out the anime well.

[@psyllart]

I was really disappointed too, but I am glad they clearly put effort into this confession! the ending of the anime overall was lackluster and rushed and cutout Phoenix’s last conversation/closure with mia, but I’m very glad this part wasn’t too butchered!

[@psyllart]

not at all, not really. the anime was executed super poorly, I think it could’ve been way better and they could’ve handled this in a much better way but they didn’t put in the effort it deserved. it’s one of the best moments in the series and it was underwhelming compared to the game

[@xestalfer5774]

@@psyllart We'd get both animation quality, better pacing, and enough time to direct it properly if the adaptations were movies instead of 1 series. Even if they do 1 movie per case I'd be willing to wait long enough for each release if it meant they are perfected the way its intended

[@fluffystuff500]

​@@xestalfer5774
I agree that movies would have been better, but really, I think these games just don't adapt to other forms very well.. A movie for each case would be okay, except the filler cases have a lot of content that would make a movie feel too boring. The only part of Turnabout Samurai that really mattered was Edgeworth helping Phoenix. The only other thing we got out of it was a couple reccuring characters, which is a bit too little story importance for a movie, but not putting it in would make it confusing for viewers when the characters do come up again or when Edgeworth starts leaning more into his character arc. A movie for each game wouldn't work well, because the games aren't meant to be crammed into a time span of 2-3 hours, and movies longer than that are much more difficult to produce and often seen as unfavorable, so it's unlikely they'd be made that way for fear of losing profits. No matter what, TV or movie adaptations would be awkward.

[@whoevencares123]

@@fluffystuff500 I think the only two games that could work as a movie are AAI2 and TGAA2(except for the case 2 maybe)

[@mertensiam3384]

Well, it WOULD work if they gave things the time they need. It'd definitely be hard to adapt it well, but I think the writers of the anime either weren't given enough resources, or the writers they hired didn't care at all for ace attorney so the result was very underwhelming
