5:08 timestamp for those who don't want Spirit of Justice spoilers
After delaying his video for more than a year, I finally got done with Zak Gramarye. I tried (a lot) to not let the comic "Zak Gramarye is a jerk" affect me when writing this vid, and I tried to focus on the sympathetic parts of his lore and character. But don't expect to see him in my vids anytime soon again, he's not a fun character to write. Not at all xD
P.S.: due to his small screentime and importance, I deemed that making Nahyuta's scarf animation loop properly, was not worth the time and effort. So... sorry if he seems weird while talking.
Well, I'm quite glad you set the "Zak is an ass" POV aside for the most part. It worked really well. Your storytelling is getting better and better as time goes by, and I say that as a part-time writer myself.
@notaissoeumanota7502 that makes me happy to know, especially lately that I try to work on OC stuff. Thanks as always mate 💪
I remember seeing a post before of your (justified) distain towards Zak. All the more reason why writing a character you hate is such an achievement. This felt like a great epilogue to Apollo Justice, another classic Debastian W.
@@debastiansebeste Interesting that the Khu'rain characters are speaking Japanese voices while the others are in English.
@@Easypickles one of the reasons I did it is because I wanted to showcase that Rayfa and Nahyuta are foreigners. But I won't lie, the main reason is because I like their japanese voices better xD
Maya getting immediately thrown into jail is hilarious.
@@SpongeBob_912 jail's in her dna by now
It's pretty ironic that Zak is bewildered by Krishtoph's motive for his murder (which is ego), while a portion of his own "revenge" on Phoenix is also because of his ego (of winning poker).
P.S your interpretation of his character is spot on! This channel is basically the unofficial lore of ace attorney now!
1:22 Maya... You just signed your death punishment...
She's lucky Rayfa is way more lenient than she acts :p
2:30 “Used to her antiques”
…. I thought Apollo was complaining about Rayfa’s antics, not the furniture. lol
That's a mistake that'll haunt me to the grave until I'm an antique myself ngl lol
@@debastiansebeste Oh well, I mean judging by the jail cell Maya is in. It's definitely antics looking
(I’m sorry pls don’t kill me)
This was, in my opinion, the best interpretation of Zak Gramarye I've ever seen. Sure, he is still a terrible person at the end of the day, but this storytelling really lets you understand that, despite it all, his intentions(when it came to Trucy and Valant) were in the right place. Fantastic stuff m8, keep up the good work.
Thanks mate, glad to hear you appreciated it 😁
A fairly solid interpretation.
I absolutely agree with that statement.
why is bro still under 10k subs it sickens me
Agreed. This is the best interpretation i seen. And Trucy giving him the Deadbeat Father Choke was good.
Finally, the peak has returned
@@sebassama7781 peak lmao xD I come and go lately, I've been forced to upload once every month, schedule's kinda ruined ngl
My favorite part was Maya's commenting on Wright talking with a lot of disdain towards Zak. Phoenix is probably absolutely livid about Zak disappearing and abandoning Trucy, no matter his reasoning. Probably more angry about that then his plan to destroy Phoenix's win record.
Yeah, I also want to think that Phoenix's beef with Zak was mainly the fact that he wanted to protect Valant so much, he ended up hiding Magnifi's will from Phoenix (and Kristoph), which more or less is what lead to Phoenix's disbarment
GOD, PEAK HAS JUST DROPPED AGAIN AND HIT THE ACE ATTORNEY FANDOM
So incredible. The writing, the pacing, the dialogue, the conflicting feelings, that feeling of estrangeness, that sense that Shadi, even now, is trying to run away because he just DOESNT know what to do. God you're so peak its insane, I look to you for inspiration my dude, thank you for this five star meal. I will explode (in joy) at the final part but be sure to take care of yourself!!!!
Aw thank you very much 🙏 The last part will probably take even longer to make, as I'll have to make sprites from zero for Jove, but let's hope it'll still come within 2025 xD
There's definitively a video to do about Wright's trauma here. Seeing how Thalassa reacts after 4:10, I can't shake the idea out of my mind. Even Maya is taken aback.
Don't forget that Wright knows full well Thalassa can "perceive" lies, so everything he said to her, he said it intentionally
@@debastiansebeste I know, and that's the weird thing. Why does he have to lie, not once but many times there? What does he have to hide, while he knows her ability?
I can see Zak is dazed by the fact that Wright won in that poker game, yet he's on a full resentment on Wright over this. We're over a simple misplaced pride there, and this was the reason Zak lied to Thalassa about his relation with Phoneix.
However, I wouldn't be surprised if Thalassa (or Maya / Edgeworth, I don't forget them) bears the magatama and sees red and black psyche-locks over him. He really looks at unease, doesn't want to see him. He could wait in the room with Trucy but no. He litteraly goes elsewhere. He doesn't want to stand near him, and this can't be overlooked.
@@Michael_Irohazaka I'll be honest on that, Phoenix lied simply because he knew Thalassa would know he was lying (enter hobo Phoenix bitter sarcasm moment). What he told her is pretty much
-I don't want to see Zak ever again
-I acknowledge there's a lot to talk with him about
-But there won't be a next time
-And I'm not happy you asked me.
Is it any different for Thalassa who knows every word is a lie? No. But for Phoenix, saying the obvious lie that Thalassa will read, is much easier than telling her in her face "I despise your dead husband and don't ask me again".
@@debastiansebeste I can understand! 😂
@@debastiansebeste I wonder if the next video would continue from where this video left off / have Thalassa address Wright's thoughts on Zak.
13:04 Considering how Phoenix was the one to give Apollo that forged evidence through Trucy that lead to Kristoph's undoing...He's not completely wrong. He did use Trucy in that regards, whether she volunteered or not. Again that trial reeked to high heaven, and Apollo was the true victim in all of it.
As cool as 4-1 is, what Phoenix did to Apollo in that trial was blatant character assassination. He didn't even show remorse for it, ever.
I'll also say, although its unrelated a bit, in a alternate universe where Phoenix's character was more accurately portrayed in 4-1, and he didn't screw over Apollo, he would've absolutely told the court by the end of the trial that the card he showed was fake. The court already had more than enough evidence to convict Kristoph by the end, and the card being revealed to be a fake wouldn't change that.
@@anthonym9977 His actions in 4-1 aren't that far removed from 3-3 though. The biggest difference being that 4-1 points out the sketchiness of Wright's actions while 3-3 kinda glazes over it. In both cases though, an essentially worthless piece of evidence is presented as the smoke and gun to trap the true culprit. I don't really see 4-1 as the blatant character assassination that most others do, frankly.
@phoenixwright784 im not saying Phoenix lying about evidence to trick the witness to revealing they are the culprit is out of character, what i am saying is that Phoenix betrayed and jeprodized Apollos career without even asking if he was ok to do such a thing, and never even apologizes to him. That is a massive character assassination. For gosh sake, in 3-3 Phoenix says to Maya "There are 2 things i find unforgivable. Poisoning, and Betrayal"
And Phoenix has shown time and time again, that the truth is really important to him, so like i said, in an alternate universe where Phoenix used the card the same way he did to get Kristoph, without screwing over Apollo, he would 100 percent tell the court about his deception. The court has more than enough evidence to convict, and the card being revealed to be forged wouldn't change that
@@phoenixwright784 and while what Phoenix did in 3-3 and 4-1 have similarities, in 3-3 he did not betray anyone.
It's easy to end up saying Zak is an asshole, because he ended up being one after all that happened after Thalassa's disappearance... He did lost much and because of his own decisions he lost even more, there's sympathy to be had with this guy and I think you did well giving a more human side to the character without inmediately saying he's just a bad person
It's kind of a shame that Wright and Zak couldn't meet again, but it was reasonable, the guy was still having a grudge and it took a lot of convincing from Thalassa to calm him down, he was probs a vengeful spirit because of his death... Shows how good Maya is as a medium now too! Props for using your tools to make the channeling scene too!!
I can't wait for the next part! Jove Justice doesn't have written dialogue I think, so I'm very excited to see how's your take on the guy!
Yeah, compared to Zak, Jove is more or less a blank sheet so I can take many liberties when it comes to his personality. So I expect he'll be much easier and more fun to write than Zak (though that's a low bar lmao, gotta say writing Zak was a nightmare, but at the very least he had existing sprites, while for Jove I'll have to make his from scratch xD)
Well, my headcanon for his grudge against Phoenix is that he believed that Phoenix fabricated this evidence in court. So he hadn't just lost to somebody, he lost to a man ready to cheat. A man who fooled him into thinking that he is the honest man. And then Phoenix was caught and starts to play poker and never lost in 7 years probably through cheating.
Zak could have thought that he was exposing a real cheater even through the forged evidence (5 of Hearts). And it makes another callback to the whole topic of using forged evidence.
Honestly, I think you handled Zak the best way you could’ve handled him. Listen, this man is either an absolute jerk, an absolute moron, or both if you just focused on how most fans saw him. I believe this was probably the best way of showing how AA4 intended his character to be without letting personal biases dictate the writing. He was properly called out for the awful stuff he did and attempted to do to Phoenix and Trucy while still treating him like a three dimensional character who had reasons that are cohesive, at least by the standards of this mess of a character. Great work.
Thanks kirb, glad you enjoyed 💪
"Trucy! Don't talk to your dead father like that!"
😂😂😂😂😂
Beautiful work! 😊
It was one of those quotes that after writing it, I was left with thinking "only in Ace Attorney" xD
I always wonder why Zak was such a ass to Phoenix who tied so hard to save him and why he tried to ruin him by exposing him as a cheat but when Zak explained his reasons because of Trucy as well as his bitterment of having lost everything. It made so much sense and it felt so in character. Good job
Goddamn you actually managed to make Zak seem somewhat sympathisable.
Aww, no zak gramarye wearing maya's clothes... 😔
Still, i love the way you portrayed these characters! 10/10 writing!
I did intend to make the pinned comment a joke about Zak actually wearing Maya's kimono throughout the vid, but I ended up venting in it instead xD Also thanks mate 👌
I dislike Zak very much but what I love most about writing characters is the protential for depth. This depiction of Zak felt human. I can find myself kinda sympathising with him.
Damn, I never thought that Zak Gramarye would be channelled, while Maya is still in prison.
But anyway Great Video as always, Debastian. KEEP IT UP MY GUY. I BELIEVE IN YOU
I do have this theory that Trucy forged the card herself, and Phoenix took the rap. Mostly because how on earth would he be able to make the card in the first place. Sure you could argue that he somehow got a card and got blood on it somehow, but how would he give it to Trucy?
Trucy probably had some idea of what was going on and forged the card.
Phoenix took the blame because he didn’t want her to have a criminal record if it got out.
Not to mention the forged card wasn’t technically ‘evidence’ neither Apollo or Phoenix claimed the card they had was the real deal.
Now THAT'S absolute pure cinema!!!! The best plot in AA fandom I've ever watched and yet there IS PART 6.
Bro is literally Shakespeare of Ace Attorney. The only thing lacks is Phoenix-Shadi interaction which I believe is left for better times. Thx for magnificent vids!!!
I did want to have Phoenix talk with Zak, but not only did every single second of their interaction turn completely bitter and hostile, I also doubted Phoenix would willingly want to speak with him ever again. Now if something were to happen in a future video where Phoenix is forced to speak with Zak... that remains to be seen. Glad you liked it ;D
@@debastiansebeste well that's the least to be expected if you set someone up due to your dichotomy of seeing through poker yet being unable to accept defeats.
Though Wright managed to forgive absolute jerks before, even Kristoph in some sorts, so I think he would be chill.
WOW MAN! i remember watching your videos a while back, i returned and your STILL AS TALENTED AS EVER! i cant wait to see jove get channeled next! i remember when i wrote a comment about it a while ago too!
Many thanks mate :D
1:25 calling a 14 year old a fascist is WILD
Have you ever met a 14 year old redditor or HOI player?
Guess who's back
Back again
Debi's back

The music drop at 23:23 stabbed me through my heart, it was so good.
Glad you liked it 😁
You know I honestly thought this would've gone worse
But surprisingly it didn't, I feel like I somehow understand more than I thought, and even if this wasn't what capcom intended, it's one hell of an interpretation, both for a dead character that did bad things and a character who's not in the games yet
Holy shite you just made my day I was debating what to do with myself because I was have a dilemma if I was being lazy or if I was having a well deserved break from school stuff but now I don’t have to worry about that cause I can just watch this thanks you so much 😊
@@aplusgamer6595 glad to be of assistance xD

@@KaiserErebus glad you enjoyed :D
Top shelf, as always. I appreciate the leaning into how disoriented and on alert he would be, when the last thing he remembers is Gavin about to bottle him.
In hindsight, it's actually kind of sad that Maya referenced Dahlia. At the time, she was chanelling Dahlia so she should have no memory of it and was only informed of what happened from Mia. So for her to flash back to the trial, means that Maya went out of her way to watch a recording of the trial.
I admit I was wondering if someone would think about that particular issue, but my viewers don't surprise me anymore xD
Truth be told, the way I wrote it I simply imagined that Phoenix himself told Maya everything, about what happened. But ngl Mia being the one to tell her works as well
I look forward to seeing Jove Justice. He was always seen and talked about posthumously
THALASSA'S STORY IS BACK!!! OMG I'm so excited to watch what's gonna come
Im late but holy crap
The quality is rising and never stops rising
Dude, this is top tier writing
I despised Zak cause of how inconsistent he was in AJ but you somehow made it consistent
Now I only dislike him personally cause from writing pov he is well written(well by you I mean)
Dude If you were hired by capcom,there would peak after peak
Many thanks for the kind words as always, mate :D
I couldn't watch this part earlier because I didn't watched the other parts first, so I did a lil marathon on this story (I did this today) and after watching them, once again, they are masterpieces! And masterpieces like these deserve way more views than current are. It is incredible how the times pass by and your skills in telling stories (for me, this one is canon already) is outstanding to watch. Like the complexity yet simplicity at the same time, the speed text of it (lol cause it's easy to read but fast at the same time 😂👌🏻), how well you portrait these characters, etc, always keep near to the games (I mean, how it feels canon). I can't wait for more videos from you as always! It's simple as that! 🔥😎🔥
Shadi gets channeled
Shadi: 😬🤨
Great video as per usual, I especially love how you made the interaction between characters that never met work so well keeping their characterization, nicely done!
(I wonder how would an interaction between Manfred and Sebastian go, rip Sebastian)
You've really outdone yourself with this one, I say this was absolutely worth the wait.
Ah, great stuff for the morning breakfast has arrived once more. Awesome, my friend! Truly, debeste interpretation of the most hateable victim ever. (He caused massive troubles even AFTER he died, just in this video alone with Maya, so... yeah, justified hate)
Honestly I wouldn't mind him that much if he wasn't so confusing to understand (even now I think I took too many liberties from the original Zak)
MY GOAT IS BACK
Ngl, this is the best installment for the series yet. The writing for all of the characters is extremely on point, and I love how Zak is portrayed as a terribly complicated person. I was waiting a while for this installment and you certainly did not disappoint.
Glad to hear 😁
Hey,good video!
And I also liked the part about channeling Maya's spirit, the way you animate it is something wonderful!
Thanks, it took 2-3 hours to make so I'm glad someone appreciated it :D
I'm sorry, but, "channeling *Maya's* spirit"?
@@Max1996YT I speak Spanish, and the only thing I use to comment in English is a translator, sorry that sometimes it is poorly written.
This was amazing. Something we’ve been waiting for since Spirit of Justice and you delivered it flawlessly
Kindly thanks, glad you liked it :D
@ you’re welcome
OH MY GOD THIS WAS SO GOOD AND HEARTWARMING
I never thought I would feel bad for zak, but you made it. Excellent video, as always
Thanks m8 :D
Wake up, baby. New Debastian video has been published.
Amazing watch totally worth the wait. 🔥
i only got one word for you pardner..
EPIC
Thank you detective Marshall 🤠
I'm not usually in tears, but this one was well done
It’s finally here. Thanks for filling in the holes of the storyline.
sooo....... let's see if i got this straight.
zak leaves trucy with wright, and runs from the law. only to be channeled by maya after they died
druke sends justice to the states, and somehow is left with wright. while also running from the law.
only to be channeled by maya after they died.
@@ANTiBassMetal only difference is that Dhurke never acted like a jerk xD
@ true, was just looking at point to point
Ohhh, I was waiting for this! I love this series so much!
So happy to finally see the next part.
I'm looking forward to the final(?)/6th part. 😊
Yep, next one will definitely be the final part. After all there's no one else that Thalassa needs to meet from her past (unless I ever have her confront Magnifi too someday xD). Glad you liked it :D
It's so peak fr...
OMG! It's finally dropped!! It's been- no, it's not important. Welcome back! Even before fully watching this, I know it's FIRE!!! Keep up the good work~ Now if you'll excuse me, I shall enjoy this video at 100% leisure 🥰
Hope you enjoy :D
@debastiansebeste 😁👍
To be fair Maya asked for it this time. Rayfa can be crass, rude and grumpy but the one thing she isn't is joking.
*I'm not even 2 minutes in and Maya calling Rayfa a fascist had me on the floor my lord*
I can't wait to see the part with Jove Justice!! Probably a much more likeable and easy character to write than Zak Gradymare hahaha
Oh he most definitely will be. The main problem that will make Jove harder to put in a video will be his lack of sprites and the need to make new ones from scratch (hence why I hope his part will arrive before 2026 xD)
"Easy" you say. I say that it's another challenge, since there is so little to work with. He didn't do a lot of key actions. He didn't have on screen dialog.
@@henke37 the less there is to work with, the more creative liberties I can take with his personality as long as they don't collide with the canon ;D
Wow! This came out sooner than I thought
Same ngl xD
WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
God damn. I knew you could work your magic on one of the most terribly written characters in the series, and you pulled it off with aplomb. I can tell how hard the progression was because of just how difficult it is to rationalize anything he does. Even now there are areas in which he still feels like a petty jerk, such as sabotaging Phoenix's poker career.
The poker stuff was the main thing that held me back from making this video for more than a year. I couldn't think of anything better than "my unbeatability in poker was the last thing that held me together through all the hardships" to justify his nonsense even slightly tbh lol
Ya know Shadi sure is weird when it comes to Phoenix, he is thankful he raised his daughter yet hates him. Sure is a dichotomy. And puts more into context why Phoenix said he had nothing to say to Zak. Like loathe him like he did Dahlia.
Amazingly written as usual, hats off. "As for the musician's son... Is he a good brother ?" was _the_ line exactly that made me type this btw
ALSO WAIT UP, LET'S NOT JUMP OFF THAT THAT QUICKLY I WANNA SEE A VALANT AND ZAK INTERACTION WAIT, I WANTED TO SEE HIM AND WRIGHT SPEAK WAIIITTTTT---
Unfortunately Valant was too ashamed to speak with Zak, while Phoenix was too bitter on the contrary :(
@debastiansebeste fkfjfjdhd EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES, _give the people what they want_ , it's still completely believable !
@ not in my head it ain't xD
@@debastiansebeste that Phoenix and Valant would talk to him ? Why not ? I mean if their emotions prevent them from, maybe make the situation happen accidentally instead ?
@@itzwaluigitime8678 without being sarcastic (because people tend to think I'm mean and sarcastic when I say this): if someone wants to see Zak talk with Valant and Phoenix, they can give it a try themselves xD Personally I felt it would drag on and mess with the video's pacing, plus it wouldn't fit the time and place so I didn't include it
Awesome video as always Deb, seriously I can't describe how much I love them
I'm starting to think I should write the song's name in the video descriptions because I'm always asked whenever Kristoph appears xD It's "A Downfall" from Persona 4 Golden the Animation
@@debastiansebeste Thank you ;) if you do that you'll probably stop getting these types of questions LOL, also didn't imagine that the music for both timestamps would be the same xD
@ oh yeah, it's the same song, at 9:00 I simply cut straight to its second half which gets much darker
While Maya is in the kingdom, I wonder if she would channel Dhurke so he can talk with Amara as well. (and the rest of his family and friends if Amara didn't channel him already, after the trial)
@@axboltx you know what, it's an excellent idea. Though [spoilers for Sholmes in Spirit of Justice] it's a plotline that I'm keeping for the dance of Deduction series, so I don't know if I wanna double use it xD
The wounds to your body heal but the wounds to your soul will never heal
Wow... Wright using Trucy to win at poker makes so much sense. I'm surprised it was never stated in the game.
I think it was very heavily implied, to the point where it's obvious that it's what was happening

@@debastiansebeste thanks I needed it.
Good thing no one mentioned Mr Reus trying to get Trucy convicted of murder to Shadi. He'd get quite upset of that, I'm sure.
Matter of fact, in the initial version of the script Thalassa did talk with Zak about Retinz. But the video had turned out too long (it's already 25 mins), plus I felt it interrupted the pacing a bit, so I had to drop Retinz altogether :(
I cracked up hard when maya got thrown in jail.
So we are going to get a Jove video at some point then? Cool!
That's the plan yep (as long as I make his sprites someday, lol)
I mean, I understand CAPCOM can only do so much trying to do a lot in the games. Don't get me wrong, they have consistently done a great job making the cases.
But doesn't change the fact for me that the potential storytelling/background/lore of the characters they made in the series is just left mostly unfulfilled. You showed with these vids that they can be greatly utilized.
I can’t wait for Jove’s channeling
I'm looking forward to the next chapter of this story
Surprise Deb upload :O
Ngl I thought of posting a community post with a teaser first, but last moment I decided to make it a complete surprise. Especially since I had been delaying Zak's channeling for over a year xD
It was definitely a welcome one! And almost made me cry near the end, I didn't expect it to get emotional like that :') Great work as always!
Just when I thought about Ace Attorney, your video appeared. 😂 I dont know how to algorithm does it😶
another upload, another banger.
just a question, why is Thalassa adressing Zak as Shadi instead of his real name?
......this is actually a mistake many people make.
Here's the thing. Shadi Enigmar is his birth name (hence why his "fake" identity when he was hiding for 7 years, was "Shadi Smith"). "Zak Gramarye" is the stage name given to him (probably by his mentor, Magnifi).
Matter of fact, Trucy's birth name also is Trucy Enigmar because of Zak's real name
@debastiansebeste ohhhhhhhh alright i see, thanks for clearing that up :D
glad to help :D
It so sad😢... I want to cry 😢.
5:33 Oh my, that 3D zoom-out's epic. Did you make that yourself?
23:49 WAIT, that sound effect...
Could Trucy be possibly fake crying?
Nop xDD I admit I knew someone could misunderstand the sfx's usage as Trucy lying at that point (which would make no sense, as even if she were lying, only Thalassa and Apollo should be able to sense it, not Zak). Thing is, I do often use the heartbeat sfx for when someone is crying (most notably used it last time when Ema started crying after her two fights with Angel Starr in Lana's Parole
As for the 3d zoom out, yeah. I wanted to make a scene with Maya's channeling animation dance-of-deduction style a long time now, and I felt it would be fitting and funny to do it with her in prison xD
@@debastiansebeste Aw man, I’m waiting for someone to take that Maya scene out of context, with the subtitles “POV: You’ve framed Maya for the last time”
@@CLTurtle roflll
Genuinely, the cutscene directing chops on display here are staggering. So is all the rest of it (writing, timing, etc.), but I really want to call out the overarching combination of those things. I don't know what you're doing as a career (or are planning to get into, if you're not there yet), but I really, really hope it's got something to do with animation direction.
That actually makes me quite happy to hear. Unfortunately my career is completely irrelevant to this stuff (I'm a physics graduate) but I do hope I get into the manga industry someday (not a fan of animation, but I do love the process of directing frames when making manga)
@@debastiansebeste Fair enough! Either way I'm glad we get these videos from you. And if you do wind up doing some sort of manga, visual novel, etc. then I hope you promote it here so we can support it!
It's TIME...
8:02 what's the music that plays here?
Also, these keep getting better and better
It's the music that I almost always use with Kristoph Gavin. A Downfall from Persona 4 GA, Adachi's theme
Hey Debastian Sebeste
|spoilers for The Great Ace Attorney 2 Resolve|
I Think I remember Mael Stronghart was telling Kazuma Asogi that he heard that Genshin's Ring being forged evidence from Inspector Gregson was only heard so it doesn't count as he dismisses it as hearsay since well Kazuma only heard that from Gregson and now Gregson is dead and he is like or are you going to summon his (Gregson's) ghost. So I think I would like to see a video where for some reason Maya gets time traveled to the past in victorian Era london and she channels Gregson's spirit.
That would probably be a real hoot to see and the mayhem that ensues. Maybe Gregson would now that he is dead has nothing to hide about his involvement in the framing of Genshin and also who his boss was aka Mael Stronghart and etc. It also might clear up a lot of things like that Seishiro Jigoku was hired to kill Gregson and this blows everything out into the open and etc. Heck even Herlock Sholmes would probably be blown away by Maya Fey channeling Klint van Zieks, Genshin Asogi, and Tobias Gregson and what they have to say about the evils of Mael Stronghart.
Your video is great! It improved Zak's Character in AA!❤
May I repost your video to Bilibili? I'll put your name on it.
If you do, please also put this video's link, for any viewers with vpn so they can find my channel directly
@debastiansebeste Thank you very much! I'll do it!
I wish I could see my parents again too
I know what's next!!! AHHHHH
My imaginary is flowing FAST

Edgeworth how the heck did you get here
1:21 caught me way off guard jeez (also jove justice channeling?)
Hmm... Good as always but leaves me with questions:
If Phoenix had lost the poker game then what was Zak going to do? Get another attorney?
How would Phoenix know that Trucy had a brother and was alive back when he met Shadi in the bar?
@@seetherf9211
1) Zak didn't choose his attorney based on victory. He'd have chosen Phoenix even if Phoenix had lost. All he wanted was to see the man behind the cards, the real Phoenix. The reason he dismissed Gavin was because he realized Gavin was rotten to the core.
2) Phoenix straight up told Zak about Apollo in the club before Zak's death
(All of the above are taken unchanged, directly from the game's canon)
Not that I have a problem with it, but you couldn't use the English voices for Nahyuta and Rayla?
No. I wanted the japanese ones due to personal preference :p

Pretty sure the plural form is "antics", not "antiques"...
@garr_inc you're too late to the party mate, the 2nd top comment beat you to it by several days xD
@@debastiansebeste
Huh. Weird that I haven't seen it, but it happens.
Whee
Also, “used to her antiques” made me laugh when I know you meant “antics”
And I knew "antiques" looked too pretty to be the right word, that's on me for not looking up the word for once rofl
Chapter 6 please
Unfortunately it'll have to wait until I - or any other generous soul - makes sprites for Jove Justice xD
No channeling of Magnifi ?
It's "The Channeling of Zak Gramarye" after all :p
As for Magnifi, I'm not sure I can add him to this series
@@debastiansebeste Well then, I hope Phoenix and Valant get to talk with Zak eventually.
Day 115 of asking for another part to Sholmes in SoJ
erm actually your name is not updated to the official ace attorney investigations 🤓🤓👆👆
Actually I'm the real Sebastian Debeste now 👌
Due to localisation will you now change your name to Wustace Einner?
If I ever change the name, I'll change it to "Sebastian Debeste" since the name is no longer taken by Eustace xD
