0/10 he didn’t pull out a wine glass during the reveal

I'm surprised they let a child who is just learning how to read into court

Thr guards just standing there like "Yep, just a normal day in thr detention center, a man admitting to hiring a murder, nothing I need to tell my superior."

I love the fact he didn’t lie saying he didn’t kill him because of the hired assassin

“That’s my pet kitty” IS THE BEST LINEEEEEEE

My headcannon is that the "bigshot lawyer" he first hired was Kristoph Gavin.

Phoenix : i really hope i'm wrong Me: but sadly you're wright

6:55 Matt: *says the name of the game* Mia: *Proceeds to stare at him for 5 seconds for no reason*

Von Karma in Gumshoe's coat is the 2nd cutest thing I've ever seen from this series.

One of my favourite Ace Attorney villains. And his English voice is just perfect. From the same dude that voices Present Mic in My Hero One's Justice 2 game nonetheless.

The anime did such a good job making Engarde and Dahlia such hatable villains

Have to admit the English dub delivered the big reveal way better. The Japanese version almost sounds like he didn't have enough time to get the words out cause it was animated too fast, here it sounds a little more natural

Adrian, saying she’ll get revenge on the men who ruined her *sister* *Me, not having watched that far in the anime* : Your *W H A T*

His voice actor did an awesome job portraying the scumbag of an action star who has no loyalties to anyone but himself and is willing to have someone murdered to keep his public reputation intact. When I played that last case of the second game of the trilogy, it showed what it really means to be a defense lawyer and to find the truth when working with the prosecution.

In the japanese version when he confesses that its him it sounds like an opera but in the english dub he sounds like he is totally insane

"I DID IT. I HAD HIM WHACKED OFF." excellent. just primo writing.

I feel like lawyers in this show would have a much easier time in court if they kept voice recorders on them at all times. Redd White's case certainly would've been quicker.

Okay but his va KILLED IT dude, I don't think the laugh at 5:38 was supposed to be that maniacal considering the animation, but he went all out (Though, with this anime the animation isn't much to go off of)

The anime did him... *justice.* sorry, had to get it out of my guts.

Looks like I'm late to the "Matt Engarde Simp Conference," what did I miss

I love how his voices changes mid-hair flip. That was a nice touch. Around 5:48 - 5:55 .

6:54 dang, he says the thing!

Okay, hear me out: Engarde is just the Ace Attorney equivalent to Vinegar Doppio. A cute, friendly young dude who you can’t help but love, who pulls out his phone and reveals his second, evil identity? The similarities are right there, and it also explains why he’s one of my faves.

5:28 The way he says "What's up Mr. Lawyer?"

not to be an Engarde stan but him saying Mr.Lawyer is my religion.

6:54 MATT: "You got this, right, Ace Attorney?" MIA (in her head): "What the fuck did you just call him?" PROBABLY ALL OF US: "HE SAID THE THING!"

Damn, only Dahlia made me hate someone worse than this guy... but dang love 'im as a character~

He had me fooled when I first saw him. He seemed so innocent -_-

Yeesh. How sharp is his nails to scratch his face? Ouch.

Engarde: I'm innocent! **Miles and Phoenix tell him his fate** Engarde: I'M GUILTY!!! Judge: *GUILTY* Engarde: **dies**

9:21 Probably the best breakdown in the game

9:25 - I'm sorry, you had him what?! Matt... That doesn't mean what you think it means.

9:45 you have to admit the dub for his breakdown is hilarious.

EnGarde: SAY IM GUILTY Judge: Ok damn dude no need to shout

6:55 Matt: *says the name of the game* Mia: *stares him down* DON’T BREAK THE FOURTH WALL DAMN IT

my favorite part was when, even though a guilty verdict was handed down, there's still confetti and audience cheering. it truly gives you the feeling of justice being served

8:43 THEY MADE THE WALKIE TALKIE WATCH THE VIDEO ??

Me: I don't get why so many people in the fandom think Matt is so attractive Also me: *simping over Kristoph Gavin* No idea!

6:53 Such a powerful moment. That one glance from Phoenix says it all: feels disgusted and reluctant by the fact that he has to defend a guilty man, but finds the determination to go through with it anyway. Sometimes there are these little moments here and there that you can appreciate from this anime adaptation.

Damn, the voice actor was so good for Matt! The British accent really worked.

9:25 Engarde "I had him whacked off!" Me, choking on my drink "Oh myyyy--" *cough cough*

Matt's English VA being spectacular at playing deceptively sane characters makes perfect sense when you remember he's done the exact same thing before in the show Deadman Wonderland.

Ok, guys, but can we just admire how GOOD the reveal was in the anime? They did a really good job with his character, I feel like

(3:54) "So *its* probably starving." Anyone who refers to their pet as an "it" is definitely evil. :B

7:35 i like how Matt's just like "oops my bad '^-^ " after the judge says that.

I just finished his case for the first time today and I’m torn 😭 he’s so hot but so evil I can decide how I feel ☺️😭

He might be evil, but he's one of the hottest Ace Attorney dudes

and remember kids, never trust a person who refers to their pets as “it”

5:15 The first and last time the psyche-locks appear on the anime

I like how Matt looks nice and silly, while Adrian seems rather unfriendly and collected, but it turns out the other way around

Me age 16: matt engarde... big sexy Me age 27: matt engarde... big sexy The English dub is surprisingly good! Where did you find it?

You ever been betrayed by a client? 📻😡"If that were to happen, I'd dispose of them WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE!"

Easily one of my favorite villains in the whole series. Crazy how good the fourth case is in Justice for All compared to the rest of the game.

BEST CASE. BEST VILLAIN. CHANGE. MY. MIND.

The part of the anime that did better than the games is, you get to see Engarde deflate as the lawyers talk with De Killer. Him going from absolute cockiness to pissing his pants in absolute fear is priceless.

1:00 I just noticed that the reason Matt Engarde hired Phoenix was because he mentioned "the killer" which is suprising considering the relation with Matt and a certain "de Killer"

**Moves hair** **automatically supervillain**

The assassin's name Shelly De Killer. That's absolutely fucking hilarious! I recently got into this franchise thanks to a streamer called RT and I adore this franchise.

Only Ace attorney can make just readjusting your hairstyle look like an epic transformation

7:31 That should've been reason alone to have Akihiko Sanada's voice actor play this role.

TBH I *kinda* feel like they ruined his reveal in the anime. They shouldn't have changed the lines as much. I dunno about it in comparison to the original Japanese text, but the original English translation was him saying "Hang on, I need to consult _myself"_ then after a quick "phonecall", he says "I think it's about time ... to meet _him_ now, Mr. Lawyer dude." As opposed to him simply saying "this is the real me!!!" like most other Ace Attorney villains. This was straight up *genius* IMO, because it explains a massive amount about his behaviour in general, especially the phonecall gimmick. His first encounter with Phoenix was foreshadowing this reveal thanks to the suggestion that "scarred Engarde" is Matt's "agent" and he switches between the two personas whenever the need arises, with his time "on the phone" being the only time he actually collects his thoughts. That whole implication is mostly lost in the anime adaptation. _Most importantly,_ it hammers home the whole case's theme of both him and Juan Corrida being the worst kind of scum show business has to offer, psychopaths who view everything, even their own egos, as tools to be manipulated. The specific way he parses out his identities demonstrates how his whole life has been one long instance of method acting. Changing it, even though it's only like two sentences, damages a portion of Engarde's character and why he's such a memorable villain, IMO. Don't get me wrong, the voiceacting and animation are top notch, but I think someone writing the _script_ should've played it a little closer to the originals.

Wait a minute...i just heard the DL-6 theme

5:22 So dramatic. 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome case, it is very fitting for a final case. High stakes, big twist, challenges Phoenix's belief, and most importantly awesome villain

Matt Engarde is amazing!

His VA absolutely knocked it out of the park

It's strange. Things like the first meeting with Matt are great and expressive, but other parts are...well... Maybe it's the English voice acting that makes it flow better? I remember seeing the Japanese version and it just....went by so quick.

"You could say i set him up for his own starring role in the jammin ninja snuff film" Jesus christ dude.

9:38 The way he said, "Say."

The voice actor handled the breakdown here PERFECTLY, one of the most satisfying yet harrowing moments in the game and the anime

this anime is animated as if they had to hire a bunch of amateur cosplayers last minute, but they couldn't all stay for the entire filming and that's why everyone's faces and hair change shapes just about every other scene

I’m glad the anime has the scene of him getting declared guilty, instead of just cutting away like the game did

Ah in my mind, I had him as more of a surfer dude before showing his real self.

Best villain in the series, no one can change my mind

Who’s gonna take care of Shoe now?

This case was one of the best cases in the trilogy

9:11 The speaker just fell.

He flipped his hair back and the orchestra came out

8:47 Why is Franziska wearing Gumshoe’s jacket?

Matt is the typical heartbreaker

9:21 watching him squirm is the most satisfying thing I’ve seen since the death scene of Micah bell.

Matt engarde is a Cool Man even though he is Evil

I guess I am only one who hate Matt Engarde, but I do love the satisfaction of his defeat😜

Ooh, I do not like that Wright gets Engarde to accept his employment by namedropping deKiller in this script. That's a massive red flag, Matt may as well have dropped the pretense then and there. But somehow Phoenix still seems to think he's innocent. In the game, Matt keeps the facade going until later, when Phoenix accuses him directly.

3:20 I love that the beautufully melancholic piece of DL-6 incident is playing.

"Jammin' Ninja Snuff Film" ugh! Nice choice of words, sicko.

The moment he pushed the hair back I thought "There he is boys... Hidan from the Akatsuki."

Refreshing doesn't always mean not guilty...

I like the way his voice changed from being optimistic and acting cool when first met. To being snarky and confident when revealed, to being downright terrified when he finds out his hired assasin is going to kill him.

This man is the greatest final boss. Ever. I didn't expect him to be blackmailer lol

Ace attorney predicted smartwatches.

Matt’s VA is outstanding

When I first watched JFA, I thought that Engarde is quite annoying and a stinky liar... But in the anime he's just a stinky liar, hah.

It sounds like Phoenix was going to say something else right before he says "refreshing as the spring breeze" in the beginning

Thank you for this video. I need it for the same reasons as you in your description.

THIS MAN MANAGED TO "UM ACTUALLY" HIS WAY THROUGH THE PSYCHE LOCKS AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOOOOOWWWWW

6:00 Insurance which would ensure your downfall, you mean? What a foolish fool

the fact that this guy's VA is also present mic has me screaming and kicking my feet

Love to hate him. One of the best straight-up villains in the series.

Von Karma wearing Gumshoe's coat is adorable
