Kristoph's Plan Fails...? (Apollo Justice Alternate Scenario)

A simple mistake, and Phoenix Wright was disbarred... but, what if Phoenix hadn't made that mistake?
This video explores that scenario.
I hope you enjoy! I tried to put myself in the shoes of Kristoph and I felt this would have been how things would have went had Phoenix not made his mistake.

[@claustofobia6086]

⁠@@naattxxnaattxx7055 He’s not the killer *yet*.

The murder of Enigmar also happens way later, and it had Wright lose his job in the first place, tho still possible Kristoph might kill Enigmar anyway.

This is very well made, but I can't help but feel like Phoenix would press further after Kristoph's testimony. There are still unanswered questions, after all. However barring that, this was amazing. Everyone stayed true to their characters and the story was laid out fantastically.

[@supernintendo182]

It's totally in-character for Kristoph to immediately blame Klavier the moment his scheme falls apart lol

[@NotAGoodUsername360]

Honestly, you don't even need to go so far, you can change the timeline by letting Phoenix cross-examine Drew Misham on the stand: Phoenix: "So, how long did it take you to make this forgery?" Misham: "Oh, it was a weeklong process. I needed the original diary, you see, in order to make the forgery. First, I needed the extensive handwriting sample found from the other entries. I needed to match the pen, the ink, and I needed to create the exact same type of paper as well. Then there's the matter of perfectly matching the tear pattern of the diary- very tricky business that." Phoenix: "...So, you needed access to the real evidence in order to produce this fake?" Misham: "Yes. There would be no way to perfectly reproduce either the handwriting or the tear without it. Pictures simply wouldn't do." Phoenix: "...Your Honor, I received the case record, including the evidence, only this morning. The diary has been in the prosecutor's exclusive possession since this case was submitted for trial. It was not possible for the defense to forge this document... unless they had access to the prosecution's evidence safe." Klavier: "...Wait a minute... Oh."

[@wavemaster4891]

Perfect way to solve this case Wright here! XD

[@LoneSWarrior]

I was going to make some idea that made Phoenix aware that submitting evidence you recieved from a child you did not know was stupid, but this is the half that would make this case work out perfectly.

[@elbumas9809]

Completely underrated. I love it! I wish I can see Phoenix cross-examinating Kristoph to proove Klavier's innocence.

[@KlaviceGavin]

Also damn, so Klavier gets disbarred instead? This IS a worse ending as without Klavier's persistence, Apollo would never have caught Kristoph.

[@goldensp3038]

Not a bad what if but I agree with other comments. Phoenix not asking questions why there are inconsistencies about Klavier being a forger, especially when he was himself eager to interrogation of Trucy and Kristoph. Plus not once the "witness to the forgery" Drew Misham was called to the stand.

[@Foddeur]

Good stuff! A thoroughly enjoyable alternate take on the '7 years ago...' case, it was satisfying not seeing Phoenix fall into the trap - he handled the tricky manoeuvring of the serious allegations exactly how I imagine a seasoned, post-T&T Wright would've handled it. I also like how you had the exchange between the Judge and the disgraced attorney about 'having a good explanation' coming from Klavier instead of Phoenix at the end, it made for a nice ironic echo of how the events transpired in canon! To quote the Judge's brother, "I'm not sure how I feel about" everyone kinda piling on Klavier after Kristoph throws him under the bus, though. I guess I was expecting Phoenix to not get thrown off the scent given how fishy Kristoph was acting? There's also another point I would've felt might've been good for Phoenix to bring up in his defence - time constraints. He'd only just taken Zak's case the day before trial, would anyone reasonably expect him to be able to forge the diary page in under 24 hours? I know "Drew" is good at his job, but _that_ good? Still, it didn't take away from this being an enjoyable watch that was very well put together. I suppose my critique could boil down to 'it ended a bit abruptly, I'd definitely want to see a longer version where Phoenix is able to drag the truth out of Kristoph at the stand' - i.e. would like to see more!

[@lpfan4491]

Maybe if this alternate version of events was a bonus in a remake of AJ or sth, then there would be a choice between just letting it rest or asking further questions "even if it seems pointless because we have a rather airtight chain of events" and the result if you win that extension is another alternate ending of Kristoph being caught 7 years early.

[@IkaraPopsicle]

Ok i'm sorry but kristoph interrupting the cross examination is so funny

Great work on this. Klavier using Phoenix's original line about if he had a good explanation would the court hear him out hit hard.

[@lilmarceyx3]

I’m really glad most people liked that line, as well as Klavier’s mini breakdown. I wanted to make that scene feel like Phoenix’s scene where he’s being accused and he knows he can’t do anything but watch as his profession, as well as the truth, is ripped away from him. Making Klavier do the same was for a different reason; I figured that he would be so appalled by his own brother betraying him, for what he believes to be no reason, that he just wouldn’t have found the right words to say anything back.

[@Goomenstein]

I don't really like this version of events, or rather the ending. Phoenix' punishment in the game is justified, because while he didnt intend to sully the itnergity of the trial, he did present forged evidence without verifying it. That is why the line "If I had a good explanation, would the court be willing to listen?" works. It's an acknowledgement of responsibility, but also an acknowledgement that he was totally screwed by a third party. That's why the judge simply answered with a "No.", he witnessed Wright present the forged evidence himself, so this was cut and dry. Klavier in this case was merely accused by his brother and didn't make an effort to refute that accusation. Phoenix is also known for actively selfsabotaging his case just in the name of finding out the truth. Granted, this happened way later in the timeline, but in Dual Destinies he practically has the DLC case in the bag, but chose to prolong the trial to get to the bottom of the case because something still didnt feel right. I'd like to think this trait of Phoenix isn't something recent and has always been present, at least since the Matt Engarde trial.

[@janusricardarvis]

I think this Alternative Timeline opens up a lot of new possibities, like Apolo being an attorney under Wright and things like that

[@VerdantRange]

Seems pretty good, though it seems kinda odd that Klavier didn't try to fight back against Kristoph's accusation.

[@bibbagamer1284]

I mean it kinda makes sense, he's still 17 here, so maybe he thought he didn't even stand a chance of pushing back against his brother

[@naattxxnaattxx7055]

I noticed you used some of phoenix's lines for klavier like the "if I had a good explanation for this" Now my headcanon for these events is that we get hobo klavier who adopts trucy (Zak still does the magic trick since why not) then gets apollo to join their "Gavin Talent Agency" and the show goes on...

[@AmphotericcMike]

Pretty gold video, it's funny how this timeline might actually be worse, Kristoph will eventually kill Zak anyway but since Phoenix wouldn't be disbarred he'd have nothing to do with the case and therefore be unable to convince Apollo to expose the truth, Trucy and Apollo never meet and never meet their mom since that only happens if Apollo joins the wright anything agency which he doesn't do in this timeline since he still likely works under Kristoph and with Klavier arrested turnabout serenade can never happen so it's impossible for them to meet, Lamiroir never regains her memories of her children since she never meets them again and Drew Misham and Vera both die without the truth of their death being exposed.

[@poryg5350]

It would be nice if it wasn't so fundamentally wrong. First, Phoenix would not be happy with shifting the blame. He'd want to find the truth. So he would cross-examine Kristoph. Next, you're omitting way too many crucial facts. Zak asked for the lawyer change a day before the trial. Kristoph then told Klavier. Phoenix, Klavier and Zak can testify about that. Then there's Drew Misham. He potentially would be able to testify about the timeframe as to when it was created/requested. Other facts would also come to light. For example the fact that Kristoph had the diary until the lawyer change - sth that would further be reinforced by police records. In short, further examination of witnesses would provide more than enough evidence to disbar Kristoph.

[@odwrksboxedtrash3730]

While this is actually the bad ending, this would've also been the most logical ending if Phoenix Wright wasn't a bit dumbed down in Apollo Justice. Think about it, Phoenix has been a very experienced lawyer at this point in time and knows what shenanigans can happen in court. Then suddenly a suspicious child hands him a suspicious piece of evidence that suspiciously fits in extremely well with the evidence the PROSECUTOR is presenting. It's like the most blatant trap ever. Even Rise from the Ashes Phoenix knew when people were blatant about their traps during Damon Gant's leather handprint conundrum.

[@onwu6894]

Wow, first of all congrats on a well done video. The cutscenes were very well done, I could have perfectly mistaken it for a real AA game scene. I particularly enjoyed how this scenario made Kristoph look even more as a complete psycopath; seeing things were going south for him fast as Phoenix evaded his trap and figured his devious scheme out, he had no issue with framing his own brother for the crime and let him take the fall in his stead. The only objection I would have is that perhaps Phoenix changed his mind too quick in regards to who he suspected , if he already suspected Kristoph, he shouldn't have shifted his focus that fast. Still I believe this was a great Alternate Scenario, and I find it way more believable than the canonical version, in which Phoenix's 3-year experience was conveniently omitted in order to justify his disbarment imho. I would welcome with open arms a series of videos where the events of this AU are explored in greater depth, though I understand it may be complicated to decide on what hypothetical routes to follow. Kudos to you

[@SuperParkourio]

Most of this is great, but the ending is just dumb. Phoenix would never believe a testimony like that without a cross-examination. He digs for the truth, even if the testimony in front of him is good for his client. And Phoenix has seen Klavier actively pushing for testimony to be heard that would out the forger, which makes no sense if Klavier is the forger. I will buy anyone in that courtroom falling for it, but NOT Phoenix. If Phoenix had simply asked Klavier if Kristoph's allegations were true, only for Klavier to sadly confirm yes, unwilling to throw his own brother under the bus, then this ending would have been perfect.

[@lilmarceyx3]

Yeah this video is honestly pretty bad. For the first half I let myself get really into Succession and I studied Apollo Justice like studying for a test… but the second half was not as well thought out. The only way Phoenix would believe any of what Kristoph said is if this was his first trial, or at most before Justice For All. I’d love to revisit this video and make it more faithful in the future however.

I do believe if this was official we would've gotten one last "Objection!" coming from Phoenix since he'd probably feel something was off (kinda gives me 2-4 vibes), but of course the ending you gave was a lot more sorrow and proposes an interesting fate exchange between both lawyers. Anyway, great stuff. Very nice job!

[@queencancerous5332]

21:57 Goddamn, Phoenix really flew off the handle there

[@user-ni5ce9vn4q]

I appreciate the effort. However, I think that the main problem revolves around the Gant's like dilemma. In his case, he had to interfere because Lana was about to start talking too much, and he knew that Phoenix got the “evidence” from his safe and Gumshoe was the witness of that. Although it might seem similar, in Kristoph's case it does not allow him to accuse Wright of anything because no proof was presented by him in your scenario. And him presenting the torn off segment of a page of the diary does not prove anything as he claims. In my view, Kristoph wanted Zak's page to get nullified by a forged one or turn him against Phoenix and thus destroying them both. But as we know, Phoenix decides to take the whole blame, which after Zak's escape reveals to Kristoph that he has the genuine page and so Kristoph becomes restless for the next 7 years in covering his tracks of his involvement. Besides, it would be much better if Drew Misham was called to the stand anyway because Phoenix got Edgeworth's like argument that he has got not time to commit anything. Because he was assigned as a defense for less than one day, and Drew's testimony will corroborate that!

[@lilmarceyx3]

I honestly feel the same. On the surface, I thought it could work because by this time, Phoenix was well known by his peers and so if he were to present the torn off segment of the diary, people would assume that there is more to it because of Phoenix’a reputation. However I definitely felt that Kristopher could have been handled better in the sense that he definitely had no reason to just come out of nowhere and try to accuse Wright. I never even used Drew Misham as well, which is a bummer and I really wish I had done so because it was a missed opportunity. But, Kristoph getting impatient and wishing to throw Phoenix under the bus felt something reminiscent to what he’d have probably done if, say, Klavier just never brought up the possibility of forged evidence, or in this scenario, Phoenix just didn’t have it with him. I appreciate the criticism!

[@user-ni5ce9vn4q]

@@lilmarceyx3 I do believe that your idea of Kristoph throwing Klavier under the bus might work out. But I think Kristoph should interrupt the process after Misham's second testimony, like Gant did in Lana's case. Trucy's words should not be considered admissible as evidence. And here's the twist: After Klavier's final speech, Kristoph stops the judge before postponing the procedures and requests the recess, and then he convinces Valant to confess that he tampered with the scene. Zak gets an acquittal. In the lobby, just before Phoenix and Zak start to celebrate their victory similarly to the Stolen Turnabout, Kristoph comes to them. He says that his new client accuses Zak of illegitimately denying him the right to the Gramarye's name and demands compensation for tarnishing his good name. His case becomes more solid than Wright's because Zak was still not cooperative with him like it was from the start, and because Zak did not notarize the page like he eventually does in the original timeline 7 years later. Zak does not believe in the victory, and still decides to escape. This time, however, he steals the diary with the missing page, because of his pride and because he does not believe that Trucy would be willing to commit to his vision. The trial is put on hold. Unfortunately, in comparison to Pearl, Trucy, who was the witness to it all, became resentful towards Wright and blamed him for losing her dad. Wright felt partially responsible for her current situation and, like in the original timeline, adopted her. But contrary to Von Karma's methods, he decides to support her in pursuing her wishes, but in her good name instead of Gramarye's one. After 7 years, Apollo still joins Kristoph's office because he believes that Kristoph's case is closer to justice and Valant's name is illegitimately tarnished. Meanwhile, Klavier, while incarcerated, becomes a proto-Blacquill because, similarly, he holds some keys to the truth. The Turnabout Trump still happens, but of course in a different configuration, though that might be a story for another time.

I love the setup! What if scenarios like this are so cool, hats off to you for making it! These line of events are quite weak though. I don’t think Kristoph would’ve stopped the trial to accuse Phoenix out right, it feels too on the nose. And the fact that he called Trucy to the stand with no real plan, feels a bit dumb and way out of character for Kristoph. Like why would he do that when Trucy would surely rat him out? It also feels odd that Klaiver doesn’t speak up for himself and let’s Kristoph blindly accuse him. The judge continues the trial for this accusation, and just passes a verdict without any evidence? I don’t see why Klaiver doesn’t have a chance to speak for himself, but Phoenix does. Super cool what if scenario, but the narrative feels weak and out of character. I think the case could’ve continued with Wright not presenting the evidence, and then slowly getting to the bottom of the forged evidence throughout the trial.

[@jeffreyherrera5069]

"The judge continues the trial for this accusation, and just passes a verdict without any evidence?" Surprisingly still in character for the judge. Remember, he was convinced to allow multiple witness testimonies just because he was given a calamari and he literally says: "What's with you people? Can't I give my verdicts in peace?"

The only issue i have with this is that phoenix would know that kristoph is lying thanks to his magatama, and would jump to the defence of klavier.

[@lilmarceyx3]

I can see what your train of thought is, but it’s a weak point. Phoenix would know Kristoph is lying regardless, because of the reaction Klavier provides. He wouldn’t have even needed the magatama - that’s why this video is flawed. The magatama is never used at any point during court, which means that he would have no reason to do it in this case either.

You know seeing Trucy sad realizing she did something bad just reminds me of something I’ve been thinking about after replaying AJ AA. Did Trucy, during those 7 years, ever blame herself for accidentally ruining her new dad’s life by giving him that forged evidence?

Whoah, this is so well made

[@elviejogenkins8402]

You worked so well, you are very good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

welp that made me cry. poor klavier

[@raseum7581]

I hate that scenario cua kristoph wins, I mean yeah it's life, sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, but seeing him suceed...i can't take it!

[@ColdRain_123]

I like how Kristoph is so dumb he bursted into the court to accuse about an evidence that's never shown and tried to stop the cross examination he suggested, which is funny since it's kinda canonically accurate Also it is tragic to see Klavier bearing being forsakened to protect his brother, though I don't think Phoenix wouldn't have noticed the awkwardness from them

[@gb4206]

Pls make more of this, this is so good

[@FireflySan]

Love this! Agree with most of the other comments to get Drew and love giving Klavier Phoenix’s lines. An extended version where we get the whole truth would be so good Let me know when ace attorney multiverse comes out😂❤️

[@eldonmariano781]

This is actually well made it rlly feels like it would've in da game

[@oldjoseph]

I am thinking about if Phoenix would let the last testimony slide that easily and accept that Klavier is forger. I believe more that he would try to get to the true truth of it. But then again, he has no eveidence at the moment.

[@Someone69769]

I have always wondered this! Thank you for this, but Drew Misham needed to show up and testify about the page, like in the original.

[@lilmarceyx3]

I also wished I’d have given the video a bit more time before it was released. I like it, but I don’t love it. Not having Drew testify was a huge mistake ;w;

[@Snappers1_]

@@lilmarceyx3Maybe make an alternative if Phoenix did end up continuing to cross-examine Kristoph?

[@diesakuma367]

Ok this is already better than original Seriously every single video about this disbarrment is way better Even shitposts are better Your is not an exception This video is well done Altho I dont know if kristoph would interviene like that but it is ok imo We can argue that he is not thinking rationally Honestly this could create a lot of conflicts between klavier and kristoph There would even a chance for him to develop Honestly I like the idea that klavier is disbarred and then proven innocent in the future Imagine how different he would have been in AJ Imagine the interactions between klavier and apollo Klavier would be more aggressive towards us but still he would care for truth(so pretty much van zieks but not racist) And then apollo would have to show klavier that he can trust him There we go already a much better written game and I thought about it on the spot This would also make kristoph more interesting and more cunning Also I think in this timeline he would target trucy after that trial- another good story telling Cause lets say trucy is in vera misham situation-almost dead Apollo would have a great connection to kristoph and we as player we can see how messed up kristoph really is Why capcom did not take that route? It is shame really Great video I enjoyed it Especially when phoenix actually has braincells But seriously everything was good Hope you can make similar vids in the future

[@MinetestSore12]

I don't think Phoenix would've agreed with Kristoph to begin with, let alone let that ending happen. He's all about finding the truth, and he already knew that Kristoph was guilty as sin. He wouldn't have been fooled that easily, even if it was first game Phoenix. I think he would've realized the truth and kept pressing until the full truth came out.

[@joaquindumlao9780]

20:14 OBJECTION!! Why klavier has to testify if he's not the witness. This video has a flaw and it must be corrected immediately. I rest my case, your honor

[@bigshark9567]

This is so unfaithful to the games. The judge is way too reasonable here

[@riocheng0205]

While there are some errors like ‘troube’, I think this scenario is pretty well made. I just think Phoenix and Klavier would act differently towards Kristoph’s testimony. Phoenix would not trust Kristoph completely, and Klavier definitely should have tried counter arguing at least.

[@SussusAmogus-r4o]

This is extremely good. There's even a zoom-out Trucy sprite which is (I'm pretty sure) custom. And the writing is top-notch, both the humor and the serious moments were just like an AA game. My only problem is that it kinda feels weird how Klavier IMMEDIATLY gives up when Kristoph blames him, without even trying to defend himself. I mean, I know he depended on Kristoph a lot, but to not even try to disprove yourself forging evidence? Strange. Otherwise great vid :)

[@lilmarceyx3]

Funnily enough, I intended that to happen. In retrospect it is a little odd, but I wanted that scene to feel sort of like Phoenix’s own accusation scene, where he just doesn’t fight back because he knows he can’t do anything to convince the court. Thank you for your feedback :3

[@nobbyfirefly57]

8:20 it’s pretty stupid that he didn’t show the evidence back in the original timeline. A lot could’ve been prevented, AND it was evidence that would help his case. It’s like he wants to go to prison.

[@jeffreyherrera5069]

To be fair, if you're dealing with a judge who is far too easily swayed and forgetful while assigning you tasks that's reserved for the detectives and police department (who apparently are so incompetent that they let Gregory Edgeworth's murder stay unsolved for years, or are so corrupt that they try pinning a murder on a literal kid just to nail a serial killer), all while being shat on by everyone every other "Hold it" or "Objection", I'm sure jail would be tempting after dealing with it all for years.

Ayo, I thought it's actually straight up from officials. 10/10 my dude.

[@AbdulAhad0128]

Imagine if Klaviers replacement prosecutor would be Edgeworth after Kristoph threw him under the bus

[@lilmarceyx3]

It's honestly possible, depending on the state of the legal system at the time. I'm sure Edgeworth post AAI2 would serve as a better Klavier, as he actually has power. and also wishes to seek the truth.
