Name Every Law (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney)

[@Mornal]

What's your favorite law Mine is don't punch people without their consent that's a good law

[@JJ_R]

I like the “Don’t lie on the Witness Stand” law. Shame we hardly ever see it.

[@lemmymaster]

"HI mate I'm gonna punch you." "Wha-" *punch*

[@KonDragon008]

18 US code 1512...aka, "witness tampering", which is punishable with up to 20 years in prison. I think of the AA prosecutors whenever I hear about it. I mean, so many of the witnesses will even say "I was told not to say such-and-such", and everyone just sort of shrugs their shoulders to it. XD

[@imbored6005]

[@biomecraft356]

My favorite is one weird one in Arizona, where it's illegal to feed wild pigs garbage without a license. You can renew this license every January.

[@Chloe_Zana]

Edgeworth would absolutely have the entirety of the lawbook mentioned and would absolutely take the opportunity to roast Phoenix while reciting it. Beautiful.

[@big_sea]

yes

[@xah5560]

"Listen carefully Poenix, this section is about you Ahem Psychological violence is..."

I mean, I would assume lawbooks don't intimidate Edgeworth.

[@derpiedoxie]

The way Edgeworth stopped just so he could tell Phoenix to pay attention at that specific part just to call him an idiot killed me-

[@Feras_Alghamdi]

Err…💀

[@EtamirTheDemiDeer]

It killed him too

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

weird I thought it was the insane part he was drawing attention to

[@Tacosoftware]

This means that Edgeworth learnt both the US and Japanese code proving his superior intellect

[@chickenboi4281]

He probably knows all European laws considering he travels there a lot.

[@CheesyLizzy]

You gotta learn both when you live in Japanifornia

[@bluebird1914]

I mean he did end up studying laws in other countries, so it is kinda believable that he'd be pretty versed in law.

[@ZestuboArchfiend]

Phoenix: Name every law. Edgeworth: *Proceeds to do just that* Phoenix: I made a terrible mistake.

[@ryninja5788]

Him breaking script just to roast Phoenix is the best

[@Polikaize]

it's fucking beautiful, is what it is

[@christophervanoster]

I love how he doesn’t even has the sprite with the paper. Hes just reciting from sheer memory😂

[@JasperCasper24]

When his dad said Edgeworth was already reading law books in middle school, he ain't kidding

[@LumosVeil]

Not even middle school, *elementary school.* When he was like *8.*

[@SeiyaTempest]

He isn't called a genius for nothing.

[@haileyaskanawa2238]

To be fair, I don’t think that’s all that weird. I read astronomy textbooks when I was in elementary school. Granted, that kind of behavior doesn’t get you many friends, but eventually kids are bound to have a normal interest. (He got into Signal Samurai, I got into Pokémon.)

[@Doodle_Head]

As an autistic person i think Edgeworth is very autistic coded. His obsession with signal samurai and law books that lasted for at least 20 years has "special interest" written all over it​@@haileyaskanawa2238

He did this just after naming avery American law.

[@mint7442]

Actually he would recite the law of every country going from a-z and then finish with maritime law

[@tylercoon1791]

[@zierin705]

I looked up the phrase _"non compos mentis"_ out of curiosity. It's a Latin phrase meaning "of unsound mind". Edgeworth just roasted Wright in a centuries-dead language.

[@alexf225]

He needed to flex his Latin just to assert dominance.

[@Skaliton]

not to ruin your fun, but in common law (US Ireland, the UK, Australia etc.) latin IS part of the law. The one you probably have at least heard of is habeus corpus (show me the body) more or less a prisoner arguing their incarceration is unlawful

[@zierin705]

@@Skaliton I'm well aware of that fact; I just didn't know what _non compos mentis_ meant.

[@coomcharger6105]

And it ends with him going, "I could also give you Japanese or European laws."

[@permberd4185]

edgeworth going off script to insult phoenix is absolutely incredible I cracked up at how edgeworth kept going in such a consistent flow and catching phoenix off guard, then just continuing

[@cattudoggu]

This is canon I can actually see them have a conversation like this

Edgeworth's commitment to the bit and only breaking it to call Phoenix a moron is to be respected-

[@JJ_R]

This reminds me of one of Jehtt’s videos; Phoenix is Sonic, and Edgeworth is Shadow.

[@apollojusticefanboy]

Yeah where sonic asks shadow to recite the Bible in Japanese and he does.

[@zierin705]

You mean the one where Sonic asks Shadow on a date ("Breathe if yes. Recite the Bible in Japanese if no."), and Shadow subsequently recites the Bible in Japanese without breathing? EDIT: This one? kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH_KZolugLKgftE
