Because of underwater volcanoes, the Ocean is, in fact, being cooked.

If the ocean is a soup, the continents are in that soup. The world is soup.

I love how it went from not being a soup for understandable arguments to suddenly not being a soup due to the lack of a sizeable spoon. They're visibly losing their sanity. Comedic GOLD

Marine ecologist here! If we define vegetables as a true plantae, then seaweed doesnt count since they are macro-algae However, seagrass is a true plant that can live in the ocean. A new discovery that some of its seeds can be processed as rice substitute. So yes, it can act as a broth seasoning or even the eatery main components. Dives away with mask on

"Can I get some ocean soup" "Only a spoonful" * Edgeworth then proceeds to pull out a comically large spoon *

Me, diving into the ocean: "There's just more soup!!"

I'm disappointed that nobody brought up the fact that cold soup and raw soup are both actual things

I find it endlessly amusing that neither seem to WANT the ocean to be soup but even then edgeworth argues that it is.

The world is just a giant soup being prepared for the sun

"Can I have some ocean soup?" "Only a spoonful" *Pulls out a co(s)mically large spoon*

"Navigator, can you get over here?" "I can't. I'm at soup." "...What do you mean you're 'at soup'?!"

2:38 Spoken with the authority of a Discord moderator.

"you aren't soup you're the entire ocean" -sun tzup, art of soup

Edgeworth: (tries to say that global warming is what "cooks" the ocean) The heat vents at the bottom of the ocean: (sad burning hot noises)

There's a Japanese dish called Shirouo which is a "soup" that has live fish, also technically eggs are alive so fish roe soup counts. In conclusion the ocean is 100% a soup

Imagine starting a debate and the first thing the other party says is statement + end of discussion 😂

So this makes the ocean... a drink?

2:10 Edgeworth then proceeded to take out a comically large spoon

In ancient times, many ships carried spices and maybe there were some ships that sank and the spices fell into the sea. So ocean is soup, cause soup also need some spices and ocean have spices 🌝🙏🏼

I love how you can almost see their chaotic childhood friendship from these grueling 3 minutes. Like when they agreed that cold soup sucked while still yelling at each other

I didn't know Edgeworth holding a comically large spoon could be so funny to me

Edgeworth's entire argument is: Look I wouldn't do it, but-

these videos, are PERFECT! these videos talk about questions we want to search up but we don't. When we want to make videos of these, we don't, because we are lazy. So let's appreciate the maker of these videos that is actually not lazy to talk about these questions that life has given us.

3 years later and this still managed to get in my recommended again.

The world is ending, people are dying, and yet here i am sitting on the toilet laughing at 2 virtual characters argueing about soup

- Where are you right now? - I'm at soup! - Oh, so you're at the sea?

These are one of those videos that nobody probably asked for but it still became a thing. And I am happy that something like this exists because it's amazing.

I saw this on my video feed and so many questions arose at once

They are looking at this from the entirety wrong angle, the oceans don't need to be currently boiling for it to be soup they just need to have been boiling in the past, ergo the ocean is actually leftover soup that has been left out. "Primordial Soup" may infact be literal

It's amazing. Some clearly/stupid discutions are shakin' the courtroom, i love this community Edit: 3.3 K likes?! Holy Maya...

"Even cold soup was once hot." - Ghandi

There are many cold soups meant to be cold. Tomato soup doesn't have meat. Chicken noodle soup doesn't need vegetables (I know it usually does but it's not necessary). Really soup is just liquid with some other stuff in it. Salt water itself is soup. Also sea cucumber.

"WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT COLD SOUP?!" Me, a Korean: and I took that personally

I want "Says who?" to be a presentable argument in Ace Attorney games

Mom: "C'mon, finish your meal, I didn't even serve that much soup!" *The soup she's pointing at from the cruiseship:*

Probably the only courtroom discussion that's actually been resolved.

There is literally a theory known as the primordial soup in which all life began. Like bruz we all came from soup.

he just kinda gave up at the end like "why we even talkin about this"

This was actually such a good debate

‘Name one person who thinks ocean water tastes good’ Me: *sweats nervously*

"just make a bigger spoon" That has the same energy as "use more gun"

This is more interesting than some of the debate that I have seen

FINALLY!! Someone answering the real questions

Ah, yes. Miles: *uses the definition of soup as evidence that the ocean is soup* Phoenix: *uses the same definition to prove Miles wrong* Miles: tHeRe ArE nO sEt rUlEs

Phoenix: “You wouldn’t have soup with live animals in it!” Edgeworth: *”Says who?”*

Technically once the conditions are met, anything added in afterwards doesn’t matter. This means the land is part of the soup too. This makes the Code Ment “I’m at soup” an even better scene lmao

*My dumbass brain durning my science test* : Is the Ocean a soup?

“Surely no spoon is big enough” “MAKE A BIGGER SPOON”

The ocean used to be very hot, and now it's cooled down. The ocean is just soup that's cooled down by now, and we're all awaiting for the greater power to finish his meal.

This is one of the things I recently discovered and now I find it again.

I went into this thinking “hell no”. My mind has changed immensely

If the ocean is a soup, it’s too cold and salty and I want my money back.

*OBJECTION* They forgot about the hydrothermal vents under the water which are pretty much mini volcanos but like a lot of them therefore the ocean actually is getting cooked

The "JUST. MAKE. A BIGGER. SPOON" moment got me

i forgot how fun it was to watch ace atterony debates xD

"Soup has to be served hot anyway! No one wants cold soup!" Gazpacho: Are you sure about that?

"I don't like wet foods. And soup is like, the wettest of foods" -Some Irish dude, probably

Watching this again and this is killing me lmaoo

This is a perfect example of "just because you're correct, doesn't mean you're right".

Adressing contested points: Broth - Ocean water is technically a broth, thermal volcanic vents at the sea floor cook dead bacteria and fish which have sunk as scattered "sea snow" to broil, which means the water is considered a diluted, but valid broth by definition as this cooked tissue is scattered via currents. Live animals - Asian delicacies in South Korea include live Octopus or Squid in soups. Spoon size - Just get a comically large spoon, duh :P Ergo, The Ocean is the nastiest type of technically valid soup. I'd intend on reboiling it thoroughly before consumption however...

2:11 Wright:- "How would you eat it, surely no spoon would be big enough." Godot:- We can use shovels.

One thing phoenix could have said to help win the argument is “humans can’t drink salt water as it is toxic to humans”

"name one person who thinks ocean water isn't gross" me when 5 years old:

“Soup needs to be hot” Gazpacho: *imma bout to end this mans whole career*

"who would want cold soup?" "disgusting?" *offended in gazpacho*

I can’t believe that I just watched Phoenix and Edgeworth discussing if ocean is a soup for 3 minutes

I watch this channel at 5 am when eating cheez its

I love how they completely ignored the fact that climate change doesn't make the ocean *boil*

Phoenix: “Wait, it’s all soup?” Edgeworth: “Always has been.”

Considering how popular WrightWorth is, i dont think Edegworth would think eggplants are disgusting.

The ocean isn't soup is tea

Someone should build a courthouse for debates like this

"the ocean is a soup, end of discussion" is such a powerful line

POV: It's 3am and you have an important test tomorrow

May i have a cup of ocean please

The entire portion of cold soup debate could be solved by the word “gazpacho”

“Mom we got no more soup and the supermarket ran out of soup” *Let’s take a visit to the ocean then*

Why is this way more interesting than my school debate?

The amount of logics here is incredible

I like how there are actual debates in the chat about the ocean being a soup or not. *Still more intelligent of a conversation than politics*

"ayo mom can we go to the beach for dinner" "why" "I wanna have ocean soup"

1:17 Objection! Cold Peach Soup! And that stuff is amazing!

The world is soup.

For a star sized giant lovecraftian horror, yes, the ocean is soup

"Surely there's no spoon big enough" Me: *Pulls out comically large spoon*

This is the best trial ever lol

I hope Miles has the updated autopsy report of the ocean.

this kinda thing once happened with me in one of ace attorney online's servers. A guy said the room is a library, I disagreed. I tired my best, but the guy won, by having almost every member in the room testify. He gave stupid reasons for everything, I said where are the book, he said the books are ordered and being delivered. I said where are the shelves, he said Library needs no shelves. just like Edgy in this video. LOL

"I don't know maybe BASIC HUMAN DECENCY" 😂

1:26 my fav line.

I'd like to imagine the judge starts these arguments to have dinner with a show

Wright: “How would you eat it” *KING BACH HAS ENTERED THE CHAT*

Edgeworth: JUST MAKE A BIGGER SPOON KingBach: Pulls out comically large spoon

This topic of discussion actually had me curious, so I asked ChatGPT if it thinks the ocean is a soup, here’s what it replied: The question of whether the ocean can be considered a soup hinges on the definition of "soup." Generally, soup is a liquid food typically consisting of water, stock, or milk, combined with various ingredients such as meat, vegetables, and grains. ### Arguments for the Ocean as a Soup: 1. **Ingredients**: The ocean contains a mixture of water, salt, organic matter, and a vast array of marine life, from microscopic plankton to large fish, which could be likened to the ingredients in a soup. 2. **Nutrients**: Similar to soup, the ocean has a rich nutrient content that supports marine life. These nutrients can be seen as parallel to the vitamins and minerals found in a broth. 3. **Complexity**: Just as soups can be complex mixtures of various ingredients, the ocean is a complex ecosystem with numerous components interacting in a fluid medium. ### Arguments Against the Ocean as a Soup: 1. **Edibility**: Soups are typically prepared for human consumption. The ocean, with its salt concentration and potential contaminants, is not directly consumable as a food product. 2. **Purpose**: Soup is a food item intended to provide nourishment. The ocean, while it supports marine life, serves a broader ecological purpose and is not designed or intended as a food product. 3. **Preparation**: Soups are created through a process of combining and cooking ingredients. The ocean is a natural body of water formed by geological and environmental processes, not by intentional preparation. ### Conclusion: While the ocean shares some characteristics with soup in terms of being a liquid mixture containing various substances, it fundamentally differs in purpose, preparation, and suitability for consumption. Therefore, the ocean is not a soup in the traditional culinary sense, though the comparison can be a fun and illustrative way to think about the complexity and richness of marine environments.

Phoenix: BUT COLD SOUP IS GROSS! WHY WOULD YOU EVER WANT COLD SOUP?!?! Edgeworth: I AGREE! COLD SOUP IS DISGUSTING!!! Oh, I just hurt myself laughing! That might be the most wonderful exchange I’ve ever read. 🤣🤣

I hate that I've actually had this conversation in real life.

2:32 "Name one person who thinks ocean water tastes good" And here is where I come in

But you didn't need to cut me off...

all i can imagine is edgeworth dipping a giant spoon into the ocean, slurping up the animals, and whispering "good soup"

“But cold soup is gross!” *Okroshka is typing*
