Gotta cut Kristoph some slack, I guess. Or not. 😅

[@Monhamd1000]

Perhaps not, considering that he got left behind for more room for more characters.

[@kitttykatty]

And hes like yeah :/

[@Devilsblight86]

Actually made me more mad at Zak. If he told Phoenix from the start about the page, Phoenix would have realized that the page he was given was fake and demanded that Trucy tell him who actually gave it to her and reported it immediately. Thus, he wouldn't have lost his badge, Trucy wouldn't have lost her father, Vera wouldn't have lost her father as well, and the only person who's life was ruined would have been Kristoph's and Valant's. All because Zak didn't cooperate with the best man who could have easily helped him since the beginning: Phoenix Wright.

[@debastiansebeste]

This is the most unforgivable act of his to me too, I never understood why he hid the magic rights and didn't speak up even when Wright presented the fake page. The dude was either a horrible villain, or just badly written in order to ensure that Wright would lose his badge :p

[@Devilsblight86]

@@debastiansebeste Especially since it would have also proved that there was no way Zak would have killed Magnifi cause why would he kill a man who was giving him his inheritance? Zak's silence was so unnecessary. I love Shu Takumi for creating this franchise, but this was just a bad oversight on his part.

[@MinorLife10]

A good magician. A bad father. A terrible defendant.

[@debastiansebeste]

@@MinorLife10 so terrible it even seems intentional xD

[@blastthechaos6083]

He did say he intended to disappear and that it wouldn't matter how the trial ended (as a way to reassure Phoenix) it's just that the forgery mess was something that caught both him and Phoenix off guard

[@powerbolt2846]

you know its a good scenario when only thing saddening is pheonix never adopting trucy

[@debastiansebeste]

True, but it's a big negative ngl

[@powerbolt2846]

yeah it would really hurt as an AJ enjoyer

[@xxsegaxx]

To be fair... Kristoph could still kill Zak and Phoenix Wright could get the custody of the child because dumb plot. I mean,it's Ace Attorney so we can make excuses "The police and caretakers were busy so we are leaving you alone with this child". This way you could make them both bond and then you can make him wanna adopt her and do it

[@lostanimeworld11]

​@@xxsegaxx I think what could happen is Zak noticing Kristoph is now after him, and request Phoenix to take care of Trucy while he's on the run. Phoenix got curious, and once he investigate and figured out that it's Kristoph, he could have a side gig at the bar playing poker, waiting for Zak to return. His attorney job? Probably at its slowest after the trial ruined the credibility of the Defense Lawyers, and it's only Apollo winning the case when people start seeking lawyers again. By that time, Phoenix is setting up the Jury system, so he let Apollo handle the cases in the meantime.

[@StarLightShadows]

I hate to say this, but, based on that ending scene, I feel like in this version of the story Kristoph would end up straight up murdering Trucy to get back at Zak.

[@johan9428]

7:21 That's the scariest face of Kristoph Gavin ever. That's the face of someone barely able to contain behind his calm facade his anger and hatred at the guy who just betrayed and ruined him. Now that Zak has earned Kristoph's full and undivided enmity, he and Trucy are in even more mortal danger than in canon. One cannot cross the Devil and expect to live a calm and peaceful life.

[@RedRiotGamez]

It seems in every universe, Kristoph fails.

[@debastiansebeste]

Ngl he kinda deserves it :p

[@jameslegends0920]

No hate towards you but more towards KZbin itself because this was the comment I saw and it kinda spoiled the ending of the vid. I was kinda expecting kristoph to win or lose either way so I’m not really mad about this.

The end feels like it's setting up for a continuation... this could make for a very interesting AU of Apollo Justice, if you ask me!

[@debastiansebeste]

I'm not sure how the story would proceed from here on, but it definitely would give an entirely new ace attorney world to explore

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

​@@debastiansebeste I think this is another alternate timeline where the Misham Family are still alive but can be potential witnesses for the future case because Zak Grammarye is going to die anyway and also the Mishams are your best bet if you wanted a reliable witness to prove Kristoph's guilt.

[@darkkirb206]

Well, this was a much more interesting AU than I was initially expecting. I had a feeling that the validity of the diary page would be called into question, but Zak himself being the one to basically get Kristoph disbarred was a welcome surprise. Zak definitely was a guy who did a LOT of questionable (to put it mildly) things in Apollo Justice, but good to see that he was above getting a not guilty verdict through dirty means and getting his partner arrested on false charges. And it’s also good to know that the Mishams were spared in this universe, but it is pretty sad to think that Apollo and Trucy may never meet since Zak’s a free man.

[@debastiansebeste]

Tbf a whole new story opens up. We have no idea how Turnabout serenade would play out, if Phoenix would be the one to defend Lamiroir and Machi Tobeye, if he'd find out about Lamiroir's true identity and reveal it to Zak and Trucy, if he'd ever create the Mason system in the first place since the dark age of the law would have never happened (Kristoph's career would have ended early on and Phoenix never lost his badge). The possibilities are countless tbh

[@AlguienCualquieraDelMundo]

I think Kristoph and Roger Retinez would become best friends and partners in their road to destroy the Gramaryes

[@debastiansebeste]

Damn right, and they'd probably make a formidable duo

[@Valant_Valiant]

[@Veriox22]

Seeing klavier support his brother and refuse to believe his forgery, despite the fact that kristoph didn't care about him, shows how kind and loving of his brother he is. Meanwhile Zak is a massive idiot, but at least Nick was fine in the end. This ending opens many possibilities for something wrong happening to Zak...

[@debastiansebeste]

Yeah Zak seems to be in more danger than he ever was (even compared to when he actually died to Kristoph 😅)

[@Veriox22]

@@debastiansebeste ....this is actually true. In the AU zak was just hunted down and was forced to change identity and flee. But at least kristoph had taken his anger out on nick. Im honestly scared of what happens to zak.

[@sleepycowboy18]

Some of the people might be saved and alive in this timeline, but i cant help getting the feel that this Kristoph would be much nastier and more chaotic than canon timeline

[@debastiansebeste]

Given how he did what he did because he couldn't be Zak's lawyer, imagine what he'd do if he suddenly lost his job, his public reputation and all his "dignity". Definitely far nastier lol

[@Tidnro]

Kristoph scares me. When I heard a bit of how evil he was I expected the reason of making pheonix suffer to be more dramatic but no… The only reason those 7 years happened was because Christoph got pissy like a little child just because he wasn’t picked for a single case. People like him actually exist and they do stuff like murder people for little reasons or petty reasons it’s really fucking scary

[@debastiansebeste]

Well, to he honest Kristoph had a lot to earn if he defended Zak and won the trial. The Gramaryea were a super famous troupe at the time, so that trial drew the attention of the public as well. Kristoph knew he was in for renown and recognition if he won that trial. So when Zak fired him and hired Wright, Kristoph saw it as if Zak and Wright took that huge opportunity away from him. Of course one could argue that if Kristoph was a voting member of the bar association AND in comfort of giving Drew Misham 100,000 bucks for the forgery, you could say he was already wealthy and successful enough to not care for such formalities. But he was twisted enough unfortunately

[@blastthechaos6083]

​@@debastiansebeste I think he just felt threatened by Wright since he was a rookie attorney who became famous without cheating like Kristoph did

[@blastthechaos6083]

Actually, the trial would still be inconclusive since Zak would still go "Nah fam, you can declare a verdict if I don't exist" and disappear, he did say to Phoenix that it wouldn't matter how the trial ends... Although I can imagine he would still stay to be declared innocent to not .ake the trial more complicated than it already was

[@debastiansebeste]

Yeah. I suppose the vid could be alternatively titled "If Zak Gramarye was 10% less of an ass and actually cooperated with Phoenix" xD

[@LizzieourWorld]

If he’s innocent, he could give the rights to Trucy without having to disappear.

[@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx]

​@@LizzieourWorld He knows he is innocent but due to his upbringing with Magnifi, I very much doubt it.

[@VannyBeumer]

Except he would only do that if he was found guilty, which he wasn't.

[@BlackAce5ds]

That Objection overruled is tight man. I wished they did it in the ace attorney games

[@HerlockSholmesREAL]

Wow, everything was well done! Zak feels less of an ass now for some reason. Another video well down 👏 Also the objection overruled line is awesome

[@debastiansebeste]

Well, given how big of an ass Zak canonically was, every change to his character is bound to make him seem better 😂

[@jakubrejak1114]

Oh, man, this is brilliant! Is a sequel to this possible? I feel like there are still threads left to explore - with Zak, Valant, Kristoph, Phoenix and what not. Is it possible?

[@debastiansebeste]

Well, a sequel is not in my short-term plans, but who knows. I may work on it someday in the future

[@Michael_Irohazaka]

Quite a logicial story as always. Though, I'm surprised that both Zak Gramarye and the judge were more inclined to act during the trial. Zak by revealing the page which gives the real evidence and motive behind the scenes, and the judge who overuled some crucial objections. Now, seeing how Kristoph ends here, i wonder 2 things: 1: does he have some psyche-locks incoming? 2: if Zak is his new target, what kind of outcome it would bring after? His death or Trucy's demise?

[@debastiansebeste]

1. I don't think so, this time he doesn't hate Zak and Wright because he thinks deep down that he's inferior to Wright as a lawyer. Now he hates Zak just because he destroyed his life by revealing his scheme. I doubt any psyche locks would need to appear now. 2. Honestly I have no idea, the best outcome would probably be if Kristoph was arrested before he killed Zak

[@anthonyaddo]

This is extravagantly well done. I don’t have anything more to say than that right now, but I needed to verbally appreciate the sheer quality of this piece. Okay, now I have things to say. It makes me wonder if Phoenix’s disbarment was perhaps the best thing that ever happened to him. I may be slightly messing up the timeline, but would he have ever adopted his daughter Trucy? Would he have met Apollo (and later Athena) - all such incredibly important people in his life? There are a few very important spoilery things that may have never happened too! Wow. Interesting.

[@debastiansebeste]

Iirc Apollo was already planning to train under Wright until the latter got disbarred, which forced Apollo to join Kristoph's law office. So Apollo would have mostly probably joined Wright's office as planned either way. Same with Athena The main problems would be Zak being alive and Trucy being an Enigmar and never getting adopted by Phoenix. That would change everything drastically imho

[@blastthechaos6083]

Apollo was always gonna join Phoenix, the disbarrement just put a dent to that initially In fact, their relationship would be even better since Phoenix wouldn't have been his Hobo self and Apollo wouldn't suffer the pedestal break he got in Apollo Justice

[@darkacadpresenceinblood]

satisfying to see Kristoph fail in yet another way. such a good timeline for nearly everyone (well, except Trucy still has Zak as her dad which i'm not too sure about but here he seems like a more decent person so it's probably fine). great vid as always!

[@anthonydeadman]

Well no he wouldn't have to cause in this timeline, he managed to get Zak a NOT GUILTY verdict. Thus his client had no reason to pull a disappearing act in front of the courtroom and instead was a free man able to continue to take care of Trucy himself.

@@blastthechaos6083 Zak showed up at the borsh bowl club with the soul intent of ruining Phoenix' reputation AGAIN. Otherwise he wouldn't try cheating. And Phoenix was providing for Zak's own daughter. If Phoenix lost, Trucy would be forced to be the provider for both of them. Wow dad. Way to go

[@blastthechaos6083]

@@richietribe9487 Zak left her with the transferential Rights, which would booster her career making her earn much more money, so it's not like he would be leaving them in a worse situation than before (hell, as the following games show us, she earns more money than all three layers that work in the Wright Anything Agency combined), plus I think he just assumed Phoenix could find another job or smt. And as to ruin his reputation...I mean, the dude IS a cheater at Poker, no ifs and or buts about that, even Phoenix admits that it's only because Trucy he stayed undefeated for so long, which Zak easily saw through, maybe cheating back isn't the "Clean" way but the trial about Zak's death show us sometimes you gotta cheat back.

[@cartoonfan9million468]

Well if Kristoph kills Zak Gramarye and he gets caught and arrested for his murder in this alternate timeline, I imagine that he would have a very clear motive for murder this time unlike in the Apollo Justice Game where he could have gotten away with plausible deniability if it weren't for Phoenix Wright making the Jury relevant again. And I don't think the Judge will let Kristoph off easy this time unlike in the Apollo Justice Game. If Kristoph were to be convicted of Zak Gramarye's murder, I imagine it might go like something like this. The Judge: That's enough, I see no reason to further prolong this trial. Kristoph Gavin, Your motive is very clear. You murdered Zak Gramarye because he got you disbarred when you tried to forge evidence to win a case. This court hereby finds you guilty. Prosecutor Klavier Gavin: You break my heart brother, to think that the day I would have to prosecute you would ever have to come. I had hoped that this day would have never come. Not only were you going to cheat against me by trying to get a not guilty verdict with fake evidence in our first court debut, but you also murder the same man who got you rightfully disbarred instead of accepting responsibility that you requested the forgery and repenting for it. I never wanted to imagine that you forging evidence was true, and you murdering the same man who ousted you as forging evidence is something I wanted to imagine even less. Because of both of your sins and their types, both back then and now, you really don't belong in the courtroom not back then and not now. I loved you Kristoph because you were my brother, but I cannot save you anymore. Goodbye brother.

[@razorratproductions3499]

Portsman can take on Kristoph. He'd put up a good fight... I think, lol. Anyhow, this was a noice video, although I kind of fear for Trucy's life now. :/ Again, great vid!

[@debastiansebeste]

I doubt poor Portsman would be able to beat Kristoph in mind games, given how he committed a single murder and managed to get arrested a couple hours later, while also exposing his entire organisation 😂 But he'd probably make a good bodyguard for Trucy xD Glad you liked it bro 🤜🤛

[@KalavinkaK]

This is amazing!! Your work is gripping from start to finish as always, Debastian. It's got me thinking about what would be different. Phoenix continues his career as normal, and Klavier... I wonder what kind of person he'll turn out to be now.

[@debastiansebeste]

Klavier is an interesting topic. Iirc he had given up on being a prosecutor for some years before he met Apollo because of what happened with Wright's disbarment. Now that it's his brother getting disbarred I can't imagine what he'd do in return tbh, but he'd probably either continue as a prosecutor biased against defense attorneys because of his brother, or he'd quit. Or something like that

[@blastthechaos6083]

​@@debastiansebeste Nah, even after his brother was discovered to be a murder he still went on to be a Prosecutor and held no contempt to Apollo for that. Like, it would bother him, but he would probably power through it like all the trauma he got in AJ and wouldn't hold grudges against others for that, Klavier is cool like that

[@BlackAce5ds]

At least he's not blaming Wright.

[@debastiansebeste]

Well tbf, this time Zak didn't choose Wright over Gavin from the get go, which is probably why Gavin aimed the entirety of his hatred on Zak

I can still see how Phoenix would adopt trucy in this situation once Kristoph murdered Zak in this timeline, after the death of his client, Phoenix would immediately go to the scene to find out what happened and of course Trucy would be there, probably being consoled by police and he'd take her in to protect her.

Hmm, wouldn't it make more sense though, if Klavier joined Edgeworth since he's a prosecutor? (like how INVESTIGATIONS 2 SPOILERS . . . . like how Sebastian Debeste became Edgeworth's trainee in the end)

Klavier+Edgeworth would be a really nice duo... both from a more professional standpoint since Edgeworth is an excellent prosecutor and could be a mentor to Klavier, and also in a more personal way... let's just say Miles knows better than anyone what it's like to realize someone you looked up to is not who you thought they were.

Λίγο δύσκολο αυτό τώρα που είμαι στρατό, αλλά σε ευχαριστώ για την υπέροχη ευχή, πατριώτη. Καλή τύχη και σε σένα 😁

[@acejosephcross]

Well, Zak is royally screwed now! Can't help but feel worried for Trucy though. Who knows what Kristoph could come up with...?

[@debastiansebeste]

The future's full of possibilities and suddenly none seems all too positive for the poor Enigmars :/

[@sirwysocks]

kristoph got bullied too much😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-bu3xt6mj4s]

I want Kristoph to win next time, I want to see what happens.

[@debastiansebeste]

Well he won for seven years in canon :p

[@jokodihaynes419]

on mlp ace attorney EOJ case 2 phoenix wright talks about him to Athena

[@itzwaluigitime8678]

Waaaait wait wait so where does that bring us ? Kristoph murders Zak 7 years later. But Phoenix never lost his badge... The Misham case never happens either... What on Earth does that result in, in the end ? Maybe Kristoph's prepared a lot better to NOT be found guilty of Zak's murder- WAIT NO, actually that trial never happens either. Or at least not with Apollo as the defense... Having lost his position, Gavin never hires Apollo. So then Phoenix hires him instead, by a turn of Fate ? BRO IF ZAK HADN'T FIRED GAVIN THERE WOULD BE NO APOLLO JUSTICE GAME, DUAL DESTINIES'D JUST HAVE TO HAPPEN DIRECTLY LMFAO

[@debastiansebeste]

I imagine something like that would happen, you're probably on the right path 👌

[@remiss6355]

Afterwards, Roger Retinz hires Kristoph to be his sexy assistant, and 7 years later they attempt a double-homicide-frameup on the father-daughter magician duo. The two are unexpectedly stopped by a spirit channeled Magnifi Gramarye, and Phoenix's mom.

[@sledgehog1]

Bro it was fantastic!! If you ever start a Patreon you can count me in!

[@candicoated2001]

Wait does this mean Kristoph ends up with Trucy in the aftermath of the trial?

[@debastiansebeste]

Nope, Trucy is still with her real dad since Zak Gramarye was found innocent and never disappeared. We don't know if Kristoph killed him or not in this version :p

[@Zpixi09]

Choked on my spit when you used solider tf2 as Zak’s objection voice line

[@debastiansebeste]

I was wondering where it's from but are we sure this is Soldier? I don't remember him ever saying Objection (Unless someone paid Rick May to do so back when he was still with us lol)

[@jokodihaynes419]

my girlfriend's father did the same thing as zak gramarye we played poker i lost he said you have permission to date my daughter at first i didn't understand was the purpose but now do i understand

[@anthonydeadman]

Hmmm...what if current timeline Trucy somehow went back in time to this timeline where Phoenix never became her adopted dad?

[@SuperParkourio]

Judge: I will allow you and your brother to both take this case. I will even allow you to share your trump cards with each other in this series that does not even have discovery. But you cannot object to the accusations against your brother. That would obviously be a conflict of interest.

[@BlackAce5ds]

Say ever consider a video of a what if Phoenix doesn't present the forged evidence or finds someway to turn things around and present the possibility of Magnifi death being a suicide?

[@debastiansebeste]

Well, my pal Razor Rat has done a version of Phoenix not presenting the forged evidence that I found quite satisfying to be honest. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/npe3oaKBp9JpoKM

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

Honestly serious comment now. This would be a wayyyy better intro as to why kristoph killed Zak

[@debastiansebeste]

Kristoph would finally have a good reason for being a murderous douche xD

[@raphaelst-hilaire3669]

now do the trial but kristoph gavin as the hand too heavy on forged evidence because zak hide them all on him have all the true evidence on him do be found not guilty and proof the suicide but chose to just say no i want to be guilty

[@user-kc9ch2lt4k]

10:43 i thought Kristoph was going to kill klavier

[@debastiansebeste]

Lmao xD

[@dahoomajaji8424]

I like to play this video after kristoph insanity video specifically when he told Vera about the magic nail polish and after his monologue about proving how Phoenix was joke I played this video

[@dahoomajaji8424]

I made a spelling error it was supposed to be after not before, sorry for the confusion

[@SuperParkourio]

There seem to be a lot of these AUs where Phoenix never loses his badge because one person had one extra brain cell. I've heard even Capcom would rather we forget about this game. Come to think of it, at the beginning of Spirit of Justice, Phoenix claimed to have "more than 10 years of experience" as a lawyer. Sure ya do, buddy.

[@Miranha-SupremoV17]

Destroy Your Live what Kristoph was Planned to Zak Gramarye in this alternative time............ oh my god, that Madman! ............ R.I.P .....

[@viciosgamer6930]

You know, i felt for 2 seconds that Kristoph might have had a change of heart, or at least was going to try to escape his problems and not hurt more people, immediately followed by death threats to Zak.

[@nobbyfirefly57]

Would love a part 2

[@Striker729-ei8gc]

Excuse me, Mr. Sebeste. A subscriber of mine gave me an idea about asking permission to make a translation of this video into Spanish or a video inspired by it on my channel. What do you think?. If you say no, I'll understand.

[@debastiansebeste]

Generally I prefer to have viewers come directly to my channel and comment their opinions under my own vids. However, I do accept subtitle files to add to my videos, as others have done before by offering me subtitles in Russian and French

[@beepman5593]

now Im curious about........... SPOILERS FROM AAI2: if Horace Knightley wasnt murdered how would the trial of his would've went Raymond Shields his Defense Attorney against....Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth who Raymond probly still thinks hes a traitor and much like Manfred oh boy....now despite I love Raymond bein a Uncle type but Im pretty sure Raymond goin against Miles in court he probly gonna be less make jokes and takes it a bit serious

[@debastiansebeste]

True. Ray would probably spam his serious sprite all the time during that trial. But I imagine that if Knightley didn't die, a huge catalyst to advance Ray and Miles' friendship would be lost. I dunno how their relationship would be able to improve from that point on, but it does sound like an interesting version 🤔

[@beepman5593]

@@debastiansebeste and also would be a good video about it

[@blastthechaos6083]

Actually, can you do one were Valant isn't an asshole and confess to his crime of tampering with the crime scene and that nobody killed anybody? I know by itself isn't much of a video, but maybe you can do it after the Time Skip so maybe Zak gets his name cleared and isn't snuffed out by Kristoph, then he helps clear off Phoenix name to make up for the mess he dragged him to.

[@debastiansebeste]

I mean, even if Valant was good, nothing stops Zak from being an ass who leaves Phoenix in his fate as he originally did xD Nevertheless I'll think about it ;)

[@somedude6522]

1 game of fucking poker

[@BillyBobJohn]

Nice video! Well done! All characters are based on personas. And I would like to ask, where can I get these sprites from? thanks

[@debastiansebeste]

I've written their codes in my video's description ;)

[@apololo7360]

Hmmmm... Maybe you should make more "theory" lols?

[@debastiansebeste]

Yeah I intend to expand my "What If" category eventually. It's just that those vids are usually the hardest to write, so they take more time to pump out 😅

[@scintilla-ex-inanis1312]

Spoilers for TGAA2. Just some ideas. I love how you portray Kristoph's twisted mindset. Especially in "Kristoph Gavin's Descent to Insanity". Maybe you can add something like Kazuma's thoughts before and during his confrontation with Gregson on the SS Barrablock. Or maybe emphasizing Lord Stronghart's mindset and his actions during the Professor Killings era and/or during the present time when Ryuunosuke arrived in Britain. Either way, keep up the good work.

[@debastiansebeste]

I'm currently at case 1 of TGAA2 so I'll avoid reading your comment until I've finished the game 😔 But I definitely will read it when I'm done because I'm always open to ideas 😁

[@scintilla-ex-inanis1312]

@@debastiansebeste Noted 👍. Thanks.

[@JoseAntonio-qu8nk]

Great video.

[@starblaststudios]

Man. Kristoph is such a douche, but it would've been great if they had incorporated him throughout the apollo justice story. It would've helped the cases throughout the game feel more important rather than side stories. Great video man!

[@debastiansebeste]

Yeah Kristoph was done kinda dirty by the writers of AJ, ngl

[@BlackAce5ds]

Maybe next on the agenda you could do a video of Kristoph's confrontation with Zak in Turnabout Trump before he killed him

[@debastiansebeste]

I'm afraid that wouldn't work because Kristoph snuck up on Zak and hit him with the bottle. There was probably no dialogue (because if it did there was the chance that Zak would fight back :/)
