[@c.k.mcknight8921]

Lord Stronghart sort of does a Damon Gant there for a moment with all the clapping. Fitting that the scales of justice would literally be his end.

True

[@Insert_Name_Here908]

17:15 Stronghart is definitely Gant’s ancestor by far

[@aishi9930]

kazuma's breakdown is just so heartbreaking,,,,, him and van zieks are such well written characters.

Van Zieks? Yes. Kazuma? Naaaah.

[@poppiwp4193]

​@@gerrylaksono1222 Kazuma is also well written

[@DESTINED_OFFICIAL]

I like them both a lot but it would be interesting if Susato was Kazuma’s rival! But with Van Zieks dead brother and Kazuma’s dead father, it’s really funny to watch them both argue lol

[@disdiot2995]

@@gerrylaksono1222Kazuma is better written than Van Zieks

[@demonprincess9680]

Ashley Graydon's is my favorite. Of all the breakdowns, he's the only one who snaps and actually attacks the person next to him. And he actually had Gregson's feet off the ground if you look. Graydon was one of my favorite characters

[@cdjk28]

1:51 *fucking slices Naruhodo in half*

[@kotonesamaaauwu1970]

Yes, that makes sense

[@justatanuki.6495]

[@guywhodraws88]

Oh, thank goodness. Finally, a version with both Kazuma and van Zieks's breakdowns.

[@rensv7928]

LOL I love how Gotts gives away the coin to the balloon salesman at 11:43 and then you just see Gina in the corner playing with a coin and smirking, I think I know where she got that from...

UNDERRATED COMMENT

[@BEANNNNNNNS]

I find it funny that the man is being paid during a trial

[@victorkao1472]

Stronghart’s breakdown is my favorite breakdown of the entire AA series. It’s so over the top, has a reference to Gant, symbolizes his fall from the pedestal (literally), and law enforcement bringing him to justice. It also took 2 entire cases to take him down so seeing him break apart in such a dramatic and over the top fashion makes me smile

[@eldritchskye2608]

there’s more symbolism to it. stronghart has made a circus of the justice system in britain, as shown by the scales overweighting for his judgment. He has ordered to kill 16+ people, after all. But using what’s left of the law, as symbolized by the broken scales falling, ryunosuke brings stronghart to an end. possibly the best breakdown in the whole franchise

[@windflier1684]

5:49 Dude literally strangled a Scotland Yard detective with a bullet wound on his arm, that's impressive

[@Foxhood]

I love how Mael's first breakdown is a callback to Damon Gant from the original trilogy. Doing the exact same kind of high-speed deranged applause. Which makes sense as they both share the same overall theme of corrupt individuals that where seemingly untouchable through their role within the judicial system.

[@Whenpigfly666]

18:17 in this moment, I really thought Stronghart would be skewered by the giant spike underneath the scales

[@ethangc081]

yeah i thought he was gonna die

[@RyoshusShitposts]

and let him escape from his crimes in the world of the living?Hell no

[@badredraws]

Man was like 2 metres away from living a Disney villain death

[@Lucario1121]

Not gonna lie I thought that too when I got to that scene

[@shuckieboi3271]

Stronghart’s final breakdown is definitely my favorite. How he ends up falling from his place as the enforcer of justice, to being engulfed in the flames of his guilt.

[@P1r4n]

I don’t know why but I keep coming back to the animation at 5:54. Something about the animation is satisfyingly smooth

[@mr.saturn]

1:17 I remember seeing that for the first time and screaming: "That's not even possible! HOW?!" Still one of the best breakdowns out there. And then as soon I post that, I see Magnus McGilded. Yeah, that one was even better.

[@ethangc081]

For a sort of important to the plot character, Jezaille Brett’s breakdown is pretty silly

[@ozymandiasmagno]

13:10 Just look at Ryunosuke's eyes, that shock reaction is awesome

[@csayumi]

I love that he could just recognize Kazuma without the mask 😂

[@ihaetschool3361]

gotta say, he has lovely eyes

[@justnoahherehello]

I fucking love Kazuma's breakdown. It's just so heartbreaking. He's made it all this way for his revenge, just to be stopped at the last moment. That shaking arm animation just before he slams his fist again is so good. Fucking phenomenal character

[@cheukyinglau8011]

1:25-1:36 Aww, the little birds are so cute!

[@ThatFloofAmelia]

1:26 and paused. Kazuma is just keeping a straight face, while Ryunosuke is just NOT having it lol

[@NeoEndStar]

Kazuma has only been concerned with the corrupted justice system and proving Ryunosuke's innocence he literally didn't give a "f" about anything else at any point since he was just nerved at how Ryunosuke was about to be sacrificed for some random English lady l, he's likely dealt with multiple other breakdowns after ending testimonies so this one makes not much difference but rather is just a delay to what he wanted to see. "Get a move on" is likely what he was hoping for

[@ThatFloofAmelia]

:|

[@frenzy2061]

SPOILERS FOR TGAA2: The fact that Gregson gets choked in Graydon's breakdown is pretty disturbing considering what happens to him later on. I wonder if that was intentional foreshadowing

[@eldritchskye2608]

very good find

[@stephran]

Oh my god I didn't even think of that

[@fingo_kiu]

It's like choking won't kill this guy so a weapon is needed

[@ornikrieger1965]

stronghart‘s is the most dramatic one for me but what was going on with jezaille brett tho

[@iantaakalla8180]

It’s almost like those associated directly with Stronghart get super dramatic breakdowns. Note that Seishiro Jigoku, also associated with Stronghart, dramatically lifts the pieces of the stand up. The next most dramatic breakdowns after that are Nikolina Pavlova, the second round of Taketsuchi Auchi, and William Shamspeare, and all were incredibly subdued compared to what breakdowns could be.

[@Spider-Fan006]

Stronghart had the most badass breakdown in the Ace Attorney franchise in my opinion change my mind I dare ya

[@jayIG]

[@demonprincess9680]

[@cbbblue8348]

Both of them

[@victorkao1472]

@@cbbblue8348 I guess, but Mael Stronghart appearing is only at the end. By that point it shouldn’t be too much of a shock. I think op is referring to judge jigoku

[@Gabo2oo]

@@victorkao1472 Jigoku and Gregson are pretty interesting because I think they're the only characters revealed to be "evil" (morally grey at best) AFTER their debut. Well, Stronghart too but his doesn't come off as much of a twist. For all intends and purposes, Jigoku is just the standard judge and Gregson is just the standard detective in the first game.

[@sarafontanini7051]

personally i was waiting for it, since we'e had a few evil attorneys, prosecutors AND policemen by this point. Hell, even an evil police chief. It was only a matter of time till we got an evil judge too.

[@c.k.mcknight8921]

@@Gabo2oo Irony of ironies that during Ryunosuke's own trial for the murder of Dr. Wilson, Kazuma was looking across the courtroom at his father's killer.

[@lumpymilktea]

1:31 Note how one of the ducklings is walking towards the other as if plotting to murder them. Prolly overthinking this one.

[@GoldenLatias6]

Yeah. You probably are.

[@thejonbrownshow8470]

Well if they imprinted on Ms Brett here, that wouldn't be too surprising

[@aheghaugheggeyahg]

honestly, I think you’re on to something considering that Gregson tried to murder Jigoku

[@demonprincess9680]

I don't know, this is Ace Attorney after all. It's not an Ace Attorney turnabout trial without murder

[@Powder-Point]

I like how Barok’s breakdown is slowly built up throughout the game. His suffering and pain increases throughout the second game and at the final case he is at his last straw, he snaps when the truth about the Professor is known to him. He breaks. As you slowly go closer towards the truth, his actions become more agitated and shows his mental pain. Then he breaks-down upon knowing the identity of the Professor. I like how built up it is. It is short but effective, I adore the 360 rotating camera angle while he breaks down further. You never expect him to break down because of how calm, collected and put together he is in court so his breakdown comes as a surprise and is rewarding for how hostile he is to the player. It is punishment for his racism, as his blame towards the Japanese was ultimately in the wrong because they didn’t contribute to the Professor. One of the best breakdowns and one of the best characters.

[@ethanfox6846]

My favorite thing about the GAA:1 breakdowns is that the other people in the room acknowledge, "Wow, that was weird." 1:24 3:39 but by GAA:2 they embrace it 7:46 9:07

[@lavos333]

The moment everyone in the room paid respects to the sacrified topknot I absolutely lost it. The music and haiku were already hilarious, but seeing everyone treat it seriously just made it one of the funniest scenes in AA period.

[@-Commit-arson-]

The gosling’s were really cute And the fact everyone was just dumbstruck was hilarious

[@demonprincess9680]

They need to make a TGAA 3. Make Iris or Kazuma the main character and show a breakdown for when someone finally tells Iris who her parents were. You know she'd be calling Van Zieks Uncle Reaper in that game

[@thewtrxgamingstation3197]

I really wish they made a 3rd one of these, Especially how the 2nd game ended. It broke my heart we won’t see Sholmes, Iris, Gina, Van Zieks or Kazuma for a long time, or probably never again.

[@demonprincess9680]

@@thewtrxgamingstation3197 That's why we make Kazuma or someone else the main protagonist then. Because, even though Naruhodo won't see them, we still get to

[@DarthSanguine]

I like to think she'd call him Uncle Barry, 'cause his reaction to that would be hilarious. XD

[@demonprincess9680]

@@DarthSanguine Just her first interaction after finding out the truth will be hilarious. As we've already seen, van Zieks can be gentle with her, even before he knew the truth

[@Bane_Amesta]

Eh, they haven't made anyone told Apollo and Trucy about their parents in all this time, I highly doubt Iris will get more lucky... I hope I'll be wrong sooner than later, but damn, why is this a thing on this series?

[@klaus.sfc01official30]

Out of context Iris breakdown is kinda funny it's like "We made a child cry. Case Solved :)"

[@zacharystewart4394]

Okay but the Garridebs were so cute at the end of that trial the way they looked at each other.

[@thegreendragon5390]

The Ryutaro Takedown & The Scales' Judgement Might be 2 of my top 5 breakdowns of the series.

[@toddelmsworth640]

[@curllum]

The second I saw those first few breakdowns is when I knew I was in for a wild ride. The first game had some more toned down breakdowns (besides the first couple and Ashley’s), but the second game definitely redeemed itself on that front, and many others.

[@twindrill2852]
