Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

• When ever a killer/bad guy does a crazy breakdown, you can expect NicoB to comment about it in his own humorous way.
  Judge: It appears that Mr. Sawhit suffered a severe aneurysm. Order, Order I say! Umm...should we do something?
  Phoenix Wright: Erm... no more questions, your honor..
  Judge: I believe the witness appears to be dead now.
• The first time Nico met Mia Fey.
  Mia: Behold! Behold the boobs!
• Using Maya's voice will always comment on Ho Yay. After all in NicoB's universe she's a yaoi addict. You can expect a lot between Edgeworth and Phoenix Wright.
  • Some notable examples:
    • The first Ace Attorney, Episode 10.
      Edgeworth (in-game): Thanks to you, I am saddled with unnecessary...feelings.
      Edgeworth (Nico): I love you.
      Nico: (laughing)
      Phoenix (Nico): And I, you...
      Maya (Nico): Oh God, this is turning into some weird fanfiction! Oh God! The yaoi! The yaoi!
    • During Trials and Tribulations when an earthquake happens at Hazakura Temple...
      (Phoenix has a flash of Edgeworth.)
      Phoenix (in-game): I hope that he's alright...
      Nico: (laughing)
      Maya (Nico): What about me, Phoenix?!
      Phoenix (Nico): Eh, fuck you! All I care about is my lover, Edgeworth!
      Edgeworth (Nico): Wright~ help! Save me~! I'm trapped under some rocks!
      Phoenix (Nico): No! I will never leave you, Edgeworth!
      Maya (Nico): Oh God, this is way better...I take it back.
    • A little Easter Egg in Investigations has Edgeworth seeing Phoenix, Maya and Pearl on a boat in the third case. Nico has a lot of fun ad-libbing.
      Edgeworth: Oh my God, is that my lover, Phoenix? Phoenix!
      Phoenix: Edgeworth!
      Maya: Oh God, yes...that yaoi is happening right in front of me! I got front row seats!
      Pearl: I still don't know what yaoi is...
    • In the final episode of Investigations after taking down the Big Bad, Agent Lang comes in, and Maya seems to consider him, Phoenix and Edgeworth as an OT3.
      Lang (in-game): I want to see you in action in court.
      Edgeworth (in-game): Is that so, Agent Lang?
      Edgeworth (Nico): You wanna come join and have a threesome with me and Phoenix?
      Lang (Nico): You're goddamn right I do!
      Edgeworth (Nico): Yeah! Yaoi everywhere!
      Maya (Nico): Awww, yes! I'm gonna be there filming it all!
• This exchange when Phoenix objects to April May's testimony about seeing Maya.
  Phoenix (in-game): No-one wears clothes like this on a daily basis except her! (Nico) Look at her! Look how weird she looks!
  Maya (Nico): Um...Mr Wright, I think you can stop—
  Phoenix (Nico): No, look at her! Look at her weird little hair, and her weird beads, and that weird-ass robe!
  Maya (Nico): Mr Wright, please! Please stop telling her that! Mr Wright, you're making me sad!
  Phoenix (in-game): And I'm no expert on fashion, but her hairdo looks far from normal to me!
  Maya (Nico): Oh God...I'm so depressed now...
• Nico decides Damon Gant needs a better entrance to court than the usual "sprite fades in." Cue his sprite slowly rising up behind the witness stand to the tune of the "Imperial March".

Justice For All

• Komaeda x Judge. The way they use it is either going to be a moment of hilariousness or awkward. Either way it makes it in this page.
• When Payne objects for the first time, Nico laughs at how shrill he sounds.
  Nico!Payne: Apparently, I have a very shrill, high-pitched, girly voice!
• Morgan Fey's demonic eyes which include an overreacting Nico and some demonic tunes to go along with it.
  • This particular dose of editing happens again during Shih-na's breakdown where she goes Laughing Mad. Though admittedly this one was legitimately more scary than funny.
• The judge becomes a White Mage from Final Fantasy.
  Nico!Judge: CURAGA, BWAHHHH
  Nico!Phoenix: ULTIMA, BRWAAHHH
  Nico!von Karma: METEOR ATTACK, BRAAAHHHH
  Nico!Judge: OH GOD, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!

Trials and Tribulations

• Godot going Cyclops with our favorite defense attorney to prove a point, which makes everyone (especially the judge) shit their pants. Made even funnier with the magical editing of NicoB making Phoenix Wright look like his face was burnt off.
• One of Larry's sprites annoys Nico a lot, since the frown on his thinking expression looks a bit weird. At one point, Nico has his head spin around to emphasize its weirdness.
• An investigation where you play as Edgeworth happens when Larry adds five more Psyche-Locks. Edgeworth's response is to yell in despair before mentioning he'll just have to drag Larry to court. Nico surmises that Edgeworth basically rage quit the game rather than dealing with anymore of Larry's antics.
• When Ron DeLite recalls the night of the murder of Kane Bullard we have this line to tell us exactly who the culprit was.
  Ron DeLite: When I came in, I saw a mysterious shadow.
  ???: Zvarri in the face!!!
  Nico!Ron Delite: I probably should have figured out who that was when he said that.
• Nic bringing up how some of the villains could just get away with everything by keeping quiet. Especially when dealing with Phoenix's Imposter.

Ace Attorney Investigations

• The entire conversation between the Chief and his daughter, both in-game and out.
  Chief (in-game): Look at that lovely smile on the Blue Badger's face!
  Daughter (in-game): Aaah! It's looking at me! Make it stop! It's scary!
  Chief (in-game): It's alright, dear. You want to know something? I was the one who created the Blue Badger!
  Daughter (Nico): You're so full of shit, dad!
  Chief (in-game): See, look at his eyes. Don't they look just like daddy's?
  Daughter (in-game): It's scary! It's scary because they do look like yours, daddy!
  Nico (Nico): Oh, god. I feel like there's a hidden story amidst this conversation.
  Daughter (Nico): I don't love you, daddy! There's a reason we only see you on weekends!
  Edgeworth (in-game): Well, that was rather depressing.
  Edgeworth (Nico): Aren't you so glad you decided to talk to these people, Nico?
  Nico (Nico): I know, right?
  Edgeworth (in-game): I think I'd better leave the two of them alone.
  [in-game conversation ends, Edgeworth walks away]
  Chief (Nico): Honey, are we ever actually going to go in this park?
  Daughter (Nico): No, daddy, no!
• When Edgeworth first speaks to Agent Shi-Long Lang, he speaks through a phone so Nico can't see his face. Nico then gives Lang a very stereotypical oriental accent. However, when he meets him in the flesh...
  Nico (after seeing Lang): Oh, what in the freaking balls?! He actually looks more like Wolverine than the other guy did.
  [...]
  Edgeworth: You're Agent Lang, I take it?
  Nico: Oh my God! Wow...wow...that was a really wrong voice for this guy!
• With some of Nico's great ad-libbing, Lang seems to be going Tsundere for Edgeworth in Episode 17.
  Edgeworth (in-game): I would just like to thank you for your assistance earlier.
  Lang (in-game): Make no mistake, it's not like I was trying to help you with what I did.
  Edgeworth (Nico): Yes, yes, I get it, you tsundere baka, you. (in-game) after I left, did you receive word from Ambassador Alba?
  Lang (Nico): No, serious, I wasn't trying to help you or anything, alright?! It's not like I like you or anything! God! Get off my back! Man! Ugh! It's just like, you're so like...you and your freaking awesome pink teal coat...God dang it...and these flowing locks...
  Edgeworth (Nico): What are we doing?
  Lang (Nico): I dunno. I'm acting out a fanfiction in some fangirl's head right now.
• After Lang revealed he did a Batman Gambit in order for the group to investigate Ambassador Alba's office, Edgeworth does a high-five with him, and ends up dislocating his wrist.
  Edgeworth: High-five!
  Lang: Okay, yeah!
  (Splatting noise.)
  Edgeworth: Ow, ow! You dislocated my wrist!
  Lang: Oops, sorry. I forgot that you were a bit of a weenie, and that I'm a bit of a fucking murder monster!
  • Another instance where Nico has Edgeworth's masculinity challenged by Lang is this scene:
    Lang (in-game): I knew we were fated to fight until the very end!
    Lang (Nico): Let's do it!
    Nico: And he rips his shirt off.
    Lang (Nico): Grrrraaaaargh!
    Edgeworth (Nico): Err...no, I mean we fight court style, and...
    Lang (Nico): No! We will fight with our bare fists!
    Edgeworth (Nico): I forgot...I'm kind of a weenie in a fight...ah! Ah! Ahhh! Uncle, uncle, uncle!
• Nico reunites with Larry!
  • Nico reuniting with Oldbag not once, but twice was also pretty hilarious. Add Oldbag Detector to Nico's Ultimate abilities, right next to Bullshit and Genre Savvy
• In the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue of Investigations, the Judge makes a comment that becomes hilarious when combined with Nico's Alternate Character Interpretation:
  Judge (in-game): Apparently, Mr. Edgeworth teamed up with a thief and became a detective. Maybe I should team up with a bailiff and become a lawyer or something?
  Komaeda (Nico): Yes, Udgey, yes!
  Judge (Nico): Oh my god! I can't believe I just said that for real!
  Komaeda (Nico): Yes! I knew it! This ship is totally real! It's totally canon!
  Judge (Nico): Yes, let's go on adventures, Komaeda-bailiff!
• EDGEWORTH NOISES!!!
  • Taken about as far as it can go in Case 4, when a younger Kay Faraday goes into Little Girls Kick Shins mode. But doesn't exactly look like she hit his shin...
    Edgeworth (in-game): *collapsing on one knee* Nnnghooooooooh!!
    Edgeworth (Nico): Oh, right in my nuggets! Ooo! Oh—ah—-oh, God! Ooh, now my balls are up inside me. ... Uaah-augh, why did you do that? Uaaagh!
    Franziska (in-game): ...How could you have not noticed that coming?
    Edgeworth (in-game): Nnn—nghhhh...!
    Edgeworth (Nico): Uaaghhh! Please! Help me! Kill me now, Franziska!
    Franziska (Nico): All in due time.
    Edgeworth (Nico): Uughhaa... uuuh....aah ... aa aaah.. Well, I guess I'm not having children any time soon.
    Edgeworth (in-game): Mnrgh...I suppose some sort of punishment may need to be dealt the next time we meet.
    Edgeworth (Nico) *retching noises* Oh yeah, I'm vomiting blood, that cannot be good.
• When Kay introduces herself to Gumshoe, he asks if she's into Yaoi too like Maya. She says she's into Yuri.
• After Kay sneezes into Edgeworth's cravat, he takes a moment to run around screaming "EWW!"
• In Episode 15, in a bit of a Breaking the Fourth Wall, Nico tries to prompt Edgeworth to say his lines, but an upset Edgeworth tells off Nico for playing and posting two Kingdom Hearts episodes in a row instead of the usual schedule (Nico usually alternates between two games). Their conversation sounds a lot similar to a couple having an argument.
  Nico: Edgeworth, it's your line.
  Edgeworth: No! I'm not doing it, Nico! You decided to skip me yesterday for another Kingdom Hearts episode, and I'm mad at you!
  Nico: Aw come on, man, listen. You know, it's because I'm really—
  Edgeworth: I know you really love that game, but what about me?! What about Edgeworth and his needs, huh?! Huh?! What about me?! I got von Karma to deal with, and this weird other girl and Gumshoe. Fucking Gumshoe!
  Nico: I know I'm sorry, but...
  Edgeworth: No! No buts! None of that shit again! Or you will face the fingering of a lifetime.
  Nico: Sorry Edgeworth. Please, please forgive me.
  Edgeworth: I will...but only this once.
  • What makes the above even funnier is that though it was the 13th of February while it was posted in Nico's time (and majority of the Picky Penguins), in other timezones, it was the 14th. I.e. Valentine's Day.
• Maggey and Gumshoe's...epilogue...

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney

• Maya gets her revenge on Judge taking pictures of her and the rest every few steps.
  Olga takes a picture of Judge
  Judge (Nico): W-W-Wait a minute! seizure sounds I'm blind!
  Olga (Nico): AHA! IN YOUR FACE JUDGE!
  Nico: It turns out it was fucking Maya the whole time. She's like:
  Maya (Nico):That's for taking my pictures eight thousand fucking times in the EarthBound game! Yeah, in your fucking face! GOT YOU! NOW MAYA SPINS BACK TO HEAVEN! WOOOOO!
• When trying to find a good voice to give Apollo, Nico tries to make several voices...only for them to sound too much like other characters, with text on the screen pointing that out.
  • The text on the screen as Nico tries to make a voice for Apollo: Too Edgeworth-y; Too Ron DeLite-y; Too Godot-y; Too Seven-y; Too Togami-y; ????????
• Nico's reaction to finding out that Apollo's first client is none other than Phoenix after initially giving him a "stoner" voice.
• The entirety of Apollo's Focusing tutorial, thanks to Nico's edits. The highlight is Apollo being given Godot's laser beam powers.
  • How about the fact Godot became the Mentor for Apollo everytime he uses his bracelet?
  • During the testimony of Alita Tiala, after Apollo does his Perceive ability, he shoots lasers from his eyes (as the above point mentioned he inherited it from Godot). It ends with a hole in the wall next to Klavier's head. Twice!
  • After Apollo was able to Perceive Lamiroir's habit, Godot tells him to shoot his eye lasers. Klavier, having been fed up for getting shot at twice in the previous case, brings his own visor, and engages in laser-eye combat with Apollo.
    Nico: Okay, seriously, WTF I am doing?
  • During a later testimony, when Apollo is consulting Godot, Klavier reveals that he quite enjoyed the previous altercation.
    Klavier: Could we have another laser fight? I kind of want to have another laser fight.
  • In the last trial, Apollo demonstrates to Kristoph that he can shoot lasers after the latter didn't believe it. Klavier is still fed up with having holes in the wall next to him.
    Klavier: Okay, seriously, Herr Forehead. Can you stop shooting lasers at my side of the room?
• In Episode 11 Apollo smashing his desk.... suddenly turns into entire courtroom singing "We Will Rock You". It's amazing.
• Nico finding out the bailiff is Mike Meekins. A real sad day for Judgaeda.
• During Daryan's testimony, he makes a rather insensitive remark about Lamiroir. Klavier's response is to punch the wall next to him...creating a massive dent in it.
  • Three times.
• Nico's version of Spark Brushel is nothing short of hilariously obnoxious.
  • After becoming utterly astounded when seeing Brushel for the first time (complete with zooming in on Brushel as he continues to make his weird head movements), Nico instantly chooses to give him the Morishige voice.
  • Often, when Brushel extends his hands out in surprise, Nico interprets it as Brushel grabbing his own nipples.
    Brushel: Woo! You! You're Trucy!
    Nico: Wha-Why are you grabbing your nipples like that?
    Brushel (Nico): Oh, Trucy, ooooh, yes, twist them harder, Trucy, oooh!
• Episode 16: The judge smokes a shit-ton of weed and hallucinates. I would put what happens, but you wouldn't believe me, just look.
  • Young Klavier puts it best: "I think I should switch to a new district"
• Nico having Klavier scream, "ONII-CHAN!" like a weaboo when Kristoph came to testify for the final trial.
• Nico's magical editing with some of Phoenix's moments in the game. Such as faking what he wanted to say to Apollo in a recess or his scary face.
• Nico making up that Phoenix only called Apollo to be a clown.
• When the game keeps going back to a flashback about the 3rd Case victim's final words, it was treated like a Fate Worse than Death since he keeps dying over and over again every time they flashback.
  Nico!Letouse: Stop killing me, you fucks! Just let me die!!!

Ace Attorney Investigations 2

• How Edgeworth prefers to carry out investigations:
  Edgeworth: Using the power of logic! ... And Connect Four! (It Makes Just as Much Sense in Context)
• Upon first seeing President Di-Jun Huang, Nico can't resist making a bunch of comments about his body.
  Nico: (upon seeing President Huang) holy—! Oh my sexy bod! Ohhh! Wow, that is a really firm-fitting suit he's wearing! Look at how tight it...oh, shows off every fucking pectoral! Mmmm! I wanna do shots off of that.
• When Nico meets Jay Elbird, he's left at a loss of words from how weird his introduction was.
• Kay Faraday meets Regina Berry — which causes Nico to briefly shut down since they both use the same "young girl" voice.
• While interrogating Dogen:
  Ray: Isn't there one thing you haven't explained?
  Nico!Ray: Why, you haven't included a hug in your testimony!
• Nico referring to the duo of Courtney and Sebastian as "Tweedledee and Tweedledouche".
• Nico's dismay when seeing Katherine Hall using French. ^note French is one of the very rare few accents and voices Nico cannot do properly.
• Nico's sheer glee and excitement at seeing Detective Badd again.
• Nico's sheer glee and excitement at seeing Larry Butz again.
• During Gregory's confrontation with Manfred von Karma, after Gregory declares that he'll expose the truth, due to Nico playing the previous games, von Karma does a bit of Black Comedy.
  Gregory (in-game): I promise, without fail...I will expose the truth you've hidden!
  von Karma (Nico): Well, I promise I will shoot you to death in an elevator!
  Gregory (Nico): That's very weirdly specific.
• When the true culprit of the IS-7 Incident finally cornered, he exclaims This Cannot Be! by saying that he's the world's greatest confectioner, Nico responds;
  Nico: Sorry, Ruruka had that one up, but she's dead too so... whatever.
• The very first segment of Case 4 ends on a cliffhanger (note that Kay is right there with them, very much alive but suffering a bout of Easy Amnesia)
  Officer: A body was just discovered in this building ... We're currently investigating the details, but the victim is a woman. We have verified that her name is "Kay"!
  Nico: What?
  Edgeworth: What...
  Gumshoe: WHAAAAAAAAT?!
  To be continued.
  Nico: WHAT?!!
• Nico's reaction at Blaise Debeste being older than Bonnie Young.
  Nico: (after seeing Blaise's age) 68? Jesus...wait, how old is the old lady?
  (He flicks through to see Bonnie Young's age is 60.)
  Nico: WHAT?!! WHAAAT?!!
• Edgeworth getting war flashbacks just from hearing the phrase "extraterritorial rights". ^note This is due to how the last case of the previous Investigations game went on for 2 hours because the Big Bad kept citing his extraterritorial rights for why he can't be arrested.
• In Episode 26, Nico's Camtasia glitches out and cuts off a part of the video. The part that got cut out started immediately after Nicole said her scoop was about Moozilla, making it seem like the video died out of sheer disgust.
• Some of Nico's ad-libbed dialogue when he presents a wrong piece of evidence is hilarious. Case in point, from Episode 27:
  Edgeworth (Nico): Ah, dammit! Hey, look at this thing!
  Blaise (Nico): Ohhh, really, are you sure about that? Oh, wow, this is a really climactic moment, and you kind of ruined it, Edgeworth.
  Edgeworth (Nico): N-no...... This is totally the thing....
  Sebastian (Nico): DAMMIT, MR. EDGEWORTH, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! AAAHHH!
  Edgeworth (Nico): Oh, shit, sorry. My bad. I ruined your moment there a little bit, didn't I? Alright.
• In Episode 30, it's revealed that Simon Keyes was the mastermind, as Nico suspected, but one of Nico's reasons for suspecting him was because he supposedly had the same red hair as Isaac Dover, which would imply that he is Dover's missing son, even though Dover's hair was actually brown. Nico is greatly confused by this and obsesses over it, nearly driving him crazy.
  • In the next episode, it's actually a plot point. Even Simon believed he had been Dover's son.
• Edgeworth getting attacked by Dogen's dog, Anubis, and shouting for Kay to save his cravat.
  • And Kay failed to save said cravat.
  Edgeworth: My cravat! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
• This quip from Lang when confronting Simon Keyes.
  Lang (Nico): Lang Zi says, "Suck a dick, clown man!"
• The Final Boss breakdown in all its glory.
• The Final Boss Breaking Speech to our lovely Prosecutor
  Simon: You should be thankful, I gave you a chance to play the Ace Attorney.
  Edgeworth!Nico: No! Noooo!
  Simon!Nico It's even in the title! Ace Attorney Investigation 2!

Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies

• The Mood Matrix's UI reminds Nico of one of those learning toys for babies.
  Nico: Happy~. Angry~. Sad and oooOOOOUUGH!
• A little adlib made the first client of the game Juniper Woods go from a Shrinking Violet to a Covert Pervert. As in, she's now Apollo's very masochistic suitor.
  Nico!Athena: For some reason every time she talks about Apollo, the horny emoticon keeps getting bigger and bigger! I don't understand this!
  Nico!Phoenix: We need to know! Juniper testify this! Tell us now!
  Nico!Juniper: I-I'd rather not.
• In episode 2, the Judge reacts to some new evidence... by nearly eating the entire courtroom.
  Judge: Oh ho! New evidence for the case, was it?! That's a very big kind of something, indeed!
  Nico!Judge: Pretty much like my MOUTH here! BRAAAAAABLAHBLUH I WILL EAT YOU AHHLOHOLO!
  (Cut to footage from that one scene from Attack on Titan where Eren gets eaten by a Titan that looks suspiciously like the Judge.)
  Armin: Eren, NO!
  CHOMP!
  Nico!Judge: Hey, that was pretty good! Tasted a bit like turkey!
  Armin: NOOOOOOOO!
• After griping that the new 'clack' of the Judge's gavel doesn't sound properly serious, Nico starts a Running Gag of replacing one 'clack' with a different noise:
  Episode 2: Squeaky gavel
  Episode 5: Quacking gavel
  Episode 6: Barking gavel
• In Episode 3, Athena's Establishing Character Moment of judo-flipping an aggressive policeman directly into Apollo thrills Nico — by showing she's a scrappy Action Girl and by giving his favorite Butt-Monkey a little more torment.
  Nico!Apollo: No! Why me?! AAH!
• In Episode 5, Apollo teaches Athena "Chords of Steel". The resulting "I'M FINE!" can be heard from space.
• When the Judge brings up how the prosecution of this case happens to be a criminal serving in prison, Nico does funny ab-libbing with the Judge's voice.
  Nico!Judge: Seriously, how fucking stupid are we? This guy is wanted for murdering eighteen people. Let's bring him in here. We're going to undo your cuffs and give you a weapon while we're at it. Let's see how long we'll survive.
  • Becomes Hilarious in Hindsight due to how long it takes for someone to do something when Blackquill first breaks his chain and that he did have a sword in early designs.
  • This becomes a Running Gag with Blackquill always joking about killing everyone once he breaks out of his chain.
• During Blackquill's first opening statement, Blackquill suggests that the Judge does it for him while insulting his grandchildren. Nico assume that the Judge would punish him for mocking him but...
  Judge: All these years, I thought the opening statement was the prosecutor's job...
  Nico!Judge: Wow... Bitch, I'm going to come down there, take your dick, put right up there on the desk and bang on your fucking nuts. You like that, huh? YOU LIKE THAT SUCKA?!
  Judge: ...but I suppose I could give it a try. Might be a nice change of pace.
  Nico!Apollo: Really Judge? You're just going to let that shit roll?!
  • One could hear Nico cracking up when he read the Judge's last line.
• When Apollo can't use his Godot bracelet thanks to Taka, this happens.
  Nico!Godot: Yeah, what the fuck? Get that bird out of here. Grow a pair, Judgey.
  Nico!Judge: I'm too scared of everything.
• Apollo unleashes the power of his laser eyes once again. If anything, it's somehow even more powerful than last time.
• In the beginning of the DLC Case, Sasha Buckler ask for Phoenix's help to defend her orca from being put down. He and Athena enjoyed a trip to the aquarium show... while Apollo was left behind all because Phoenix asked him to stay behind so he wouldn't overshadow him anymore after getting his own game and his reaction to the ordeal is just hilarious.
  Nico!Apollo: I fucking hate you Mr.Wright.
  Nico!Phoenix: I know Apollo, I know.
• Blackquill apparently sulking after Orla's "lifesaver" trick wows the courtroom.
  Nico!Blackquill: And I am completely unfazed by it. I give it eight ellipses out of ten.
• To Nico's astonishment, Phoenix Wright: The Musical is the real thing. ^note It's not an official thing (it's actually a fan production), but it is indeed something that exists in full.
• Apollo's Butt-Monkey status is still played for laughs due to Phoenix's old self never fully going away.
• In Episode 13, Nico goes into transports of joy over Sniper, the penguin chick who nests in Dr. Crab's hair. Doubly so when she starts darting around while Crab futilely tries to grab her.
• From Episode 14:
  Athena: Prosecutor Blackquill has completely tamed the judge with his carrot-and-stick approach.
  Nico!Blackquill: Come on, get the- get the carrot! Get the carrot!
  Nico!Judge: Carrots? I don't give a fuck about carrots.
  Nico!Blackquill: Oh. Uh... H-hold on a second. Hm. Ha- alright, how 'bout now?
  Nico!Judge: TURKEY SANDWICH! Give me the turkey sandwich!
  Nico!Blackquill: No. You've got to reach for it, come on, you almost got it that time.
  Nico!Judge: Ah! Gah! Get over here! I'm gonna get it! AAH!
  Nico!Bailiff: Udgey, Udgey, stop! Don't you see what he's trying to do?
  Nico!Judge: Oh my God, you're right.
  Nico!Bailiff: There's only one way to solve this. You have to stand on my shoulders and THEN you can reach the turkey sandwich!
• The intro of Case 3, which involves a murder at a school, instantly reminds Nico of Danganronpa.
  Nico!Monokuma: Upupu! Until Monokuma came!
• Upon meeting Klavier in Case 3, Nico gets very excited, as he enjoyed doing that voice a lot and didn't know that Klavier was going to show up at all (he expected Edgeworth at that point). Then, during the mock trial, he discovers that Klavier's "Objection!" clip is a voice he didn't quite expect... which he immediately and accurately recognizes as Yosuke's, i.e. Yuri Lowenthal. Nico is very amused by this, but decides to keep his Klavier voice because he likes it.
• Robin Newman originally got the Beyblade voice for his hyper-masculine shouting. Come The Reveal, however, she got....the Joshua voice. When the fans complained, Nico gave her a female voice... except when she reverts to her shouty male persona, where she gets the Beyblade voice again.
• "We're going to interrogate that cat."
• This incredibly dark edit towards the end of Case 3:
  Judge: Prosecutor Blackquill, what has become of our witness, Aristotle Means?
  Blackquill: He's dead...
  (long pause)
• Solomon Starbuck's introduction begins with him sighing before he even appears on-screen. The sigh starts out with a "Haaa...", and Nico thought Godot had returned... until he saw the end of the sigh. Not helped by Solomon looking quite a bit like Larry Butz.
  Nico: OH MY GO.....Oh no!
• Nico's amazing predictive powers strike again when he gives Aura the British-accented Justine Courtney voice because she looks like she'd have an accent... only to learn that she's Aura Blackquill, Simon's older sister.
• Trucy almost causing Accidental Murder by almost hitting Yuri Cosmos with one of her throwing knives.

• Nico is caught slightly off-guard by the sight of young Athena smiling with blood on her face, talking about how she's taking her mom apart to "fix" her.
  Nico: OOOOOOO-HOOOOO, WHAT THE FUCK?!?!?! Whaaaat the dicks?! Oh my god, I think that might be my M-rating right there!
  • What's hilarious was that he kept joking possible moments that could cause the M-rating like Ted Tonate and Hugh O'Connor getting their head cut off or Simon eviscerating Bobby Fulbright
• Edgeworth remembers why he doesn't do courtroom cases due to the Judge's antics]
• When Detective Fulbright testifies about the phantom, he mentions that assassins are lurking around since it's about the phantom. Blackquil talks about a possibility of a sniper shooting him... only for it to happen out of nowhere.
• After Blackquill slashes the Phantom's mask, he "reveals" his identity. It's...Solomon Starbuck. Of course mere seconds later it's revealed it's just another mask, but Nico's reaction to that is priceless.
  • Even before the Starbuck "reveal", Nico jokes that this is actual reason why this game got M-rating.
  Blackquill (Nico): No! You were all wrong! This is the M rating right here!
  Nico: His fucking brain starts oozing out.

Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice

• Nico's reaction to seeing Maya all grown up; at first he's cheering at her return after several games of absence, only to immediately become conflicted over whether or not he can justify giving her the same voice.
• Komaeda becoming the Khura'inese bailiff, and then immediately hitting on the Magistrate.
  Komaeda: Hi, I killed the other bailiff!
  • And then in the next episode, he gets replaced with Kokichi.
  • In Episode 21, Nico gets his baliffs confused and accidentally voices Kokichi as the bailiff for Japanifornia. When Nico realizes this, he tries to pass it off as Komaeda doing his Kokichi impersonation. Then Komaeda impersonates the Judge.
• Nico tries to contradict Payne by questioning how Alhbi can move the victims body; the exact next line shoots down his argument by explaining how he could do it. Payne laughs at him before Nico rebutts, calling him the tutorial guy. Payne desperately flounders trying to claim being the Big Bad of the future final game.
• In Episode 3, after accussing the head priest as the killer and seeing his heavy metal persona... Phoenix lampshades on this.
  Phoenix: (thinks to himself) ...And now for something completely different.
  Phoenix!Nico: Why do I always get the weird ones?! Seriously. Can't I just get one person out here to be normal?!
• In Episode 4, Nico has a minor breakdown when he realizes that he unintentionally gave Tenko the same voice as Athena, despite thinking the Tenko voice was original; he laughs at this for a moment and makes a few "degenerate male" jokes, but quickly moves on. Cue him meeting Ema Skye later in the episode and realizing, to his horror, that he actually gave Athena the Ema voice.
• In the same episode, Apollo brings up a very poignant point after a body is found in Trucy's show.
  Apollo!Nico: Why do we even bother going anywhere anymore?
• At Episode 5, when Phoenix found out about the murder, this gem drops.
  Apollo: "phone ringing".....It's Mr.Wright!
  Phoenix: A-A-Apollo!!! I got your message!
  Phoenix!Nico: And I look at the TV! What the fuck you two have been doing while I was gone!? Goddammit! I knew I shouldn't left you in charge Apollo! When I get back home, I will kick your MONKEY ASS! Your going to be joining the Twilight Realm soon enough Apollo! "beep, beep."
  Apollo!Nico: Well, that went well. I didn't think Mr. Wright could hate me more then he already does. But he can...aaaahhh.
• Nico pointing how every time a prosecutor is introduced, they never say anything to start off.
• Nahyuta Sadmadhi tries to insult Apollo by comparing him to a stink bug, to which Apollo demands to be "upgraded" to a stag beetle. When Athena asks if that's really be any better, Nico ad-libs Apollo claiming that "stag beetles are cool, with horns and shit." This is directly followed by Apollo saying almost exactly the same phrase in-game. No wonder Nico loves him so much.
• When one of the wrong options state that the victim appeared in a coffin via magic, Nico jokes about how Himiko pops out solely to say that.
• In a Call-Back to Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, when Bonny release a few rabbits in the trial as part of her animation, one attacks the Judge like in the previous game.
• While investigating in the 3rd Case, Phoenix ran into Rayfa which then lead to...
  Nico!Rayfa: It's decided, I will be what you call your Maya.
  Nico!Phoenix: Get away from me, you weird looking girl!
• Nico's reaction to the lowest level of Khura'inese Hell:
  Nahyuta: As such, Maya Fey's soul shall be plunged into the lowest level of Hell: the Hell of Tickling.
  Nico!Phoenix: I'm sorry, say that again, what?
  Nico!Nahyuta: I said the Hell of Tickling.
  Nico!Phoenix: HAHAHAHAHA, Oh my god!
  Nico!Nahyuta: Why are you laughing? It is very serious.
  Nico!Phoenix: Oh, I'm sure it is. Woo, boy. I could just spend a whole life just laughing my fucking dick off from some guy tickling me.
  Nico!Nahyuta: It isn't how he tickles you, it's WHERE he tickles you!
  Nico!Phoenix: OH, OH GOD!
• Nahyuta brings a new kind of hell- The Hell of Larry where 30,000 Larrys follow you wherever you go
• One of Nahyuta's animations is making a butterfly fly over and land on top of his fingers. Nahyuta!Nico dubs it his "best friend." The three butterflies that appear throughout the LP are:
  • Unnamed crazy butterfly that wants everyone to die.
  • Bob, a smoker.
  • Miu Iruma.
• Nico: "Yes, yes, unclog your ears and unplug your butthole"
• During the final part of the third trial where Maya had to channel the victim Tahrust Inmee, whenever his arguments get torn down his spirit is release, and he immediately comes back to the body. Nico plays this as a Double Entendre considering that he was topless the entire time.
• Nico's ad-libbing between the Judge and Geiru. All of it.
  Geiru makes her boobs jiggle
  Nico: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJIGGLEPHYSICSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  Judge: What a way to capture your audience's attention!
  Judge (Nico): Yes, do it again baby, jiggle your bloons for me, baby OOOOOOOABDPWBSODHWK
  [...]
  Geiru: Would you consider joining my fan club? Pwetty pwease?
  Judge (Nico): Oh heck yes! Absolutely. Only if clothing is optional!
  Athena: And please save your fanboying for after the trial, Your Honor...
  Judge (Nico): SHUT UP, ATHENA! You don't have nearly enough jiggle physics to be worth my time.
  • Judge's...punishment.
    Geiru: Ooooh, how could [Bucky]?! I want to see him pay for what he's done as quickly as possible! pulls out a long balloon
    Geiru (Nico): I'm gonna stick this right up his butthole, hmmmmmm!
    Judge (Nico): Yes, he deserves it right up his butthole...and so do I!
    Athena (Nico): Eee, Ju-
    Judge (Nico): Oh sorry, did I say that out loud? Fuck.
  • And then Komaeda gets jealous.
    Judge: Hmph! How very rude of him. I don't blame you for being upset.
    Judge (Nico): PLEASE TAKE ME!
    Komaeda (Nico): Uh, Udgey?
    Judge (Nico): Oh, right. That's right, I forgot, you're still here, Komaeda.
    Komaeda (Nico): Of course I am, you silly booger! And I'm always watching. Always.
    Judge (Nico): Oh. Well, can we at least have a threesome?
    Komaeda (Nico): Okay, I'm down with that!
  • And then finally, during Geiru's breakdown, she pulls her suspenders out so far that when she releases them, they pop the balloons she stuffed down her chest to look like she had big boobs. This greatly disappoints the Judge. So much for that threesome...
    Nico: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! Oooh, I knew it! She ain't got no titties! The hair was a lie, too! Oh my God, that was the biggest plot twist yet!
    Judge (Nico): No! BEAUTIFUL TITTIES, COME BACK TO ME! ARGH!!!
• Nico comparing himself to Uendo (aka a Rakugo performer) because of how they ended up using many voices.
• Nico brings up the pointlessness of Turnabout Storyteller that it's all just to prevent Blackquill's favorite noodle joint from going out of business.
  Nico: I'm not going to let Blackquill's soba shop go out of business.
  Blackquill (Nico): Where am I going to eat my noodles? I've got to start going to that shitty place, Eldoon's! Their noodles suck!!!
• Sgt. Buff shoots missiles at Datz under the assumption that he murdered the Sargent's father, Archie Buff. The resulting explosions kill everybody. Game Over.
  Sgt. Buff (Nico): Game Over, bro!
• The Judge sics Komaeda on Sgt. Buff after she steals his gavel and Widget. Sgt. Buff then shoots Komaeda to death. Not.
• After the reveal that Sgt. Buff is actually a 12-year-old girl, she shows off that her drone has a voice changing module. Because of that and her appearance, Nico then calls her as a "baby-Miu" and makes his usual Miu's laughing vomit. Nico disgusts himself with the mental image immediately after.
• After the first trial of Case 5 ends, Nico starts his usual introduction admitting playing Apollo (who he has made clear he thinks has more potential than Phoenix) was fun, but given how they're going back to Khura'in, he's resigned himself to going back to Phoenix. First shot as soon as he gets past the title screen is a first-person view of Phoenix, as you are still very much Apollo. Nico ends up getting yelled at by Phoenix to get his mouth off of the floor.
• During the 2nd Investigation Section of the final case, Edgeworth and Phoenix heard a noise outside Inga's room and investigated it. What happens is that it was Ahlbi and his dog, who proceeds to bite Edgeworth's cravat. Edgeworth calmly orders Alhbi to get his dog off his cravat, while Nico's ad-lib casually threatening him.
  • Gets better when he watches the rip-off of Steel Samurai, Edgeworth enters full fanboy rage mode and threatens to kill the people making the show and burn the show to the ground.
• While talking to Queen Ga'ran, she subjects Apollo to a strip search which, including the over-the-top royal guards, results in an absurd ad-lib.
  Athena: Eeeeek!!! Apollo! Don't strip here!
  Apollo!Nico: Aaah! I'm naked!
  Royal Guard: Stop resisting!!! Just submit to our strip search alreeeeady!
  Apollo!Nico: *constant screaming!*
  Apollo: N-no, wait! Hey! Cut it out!
  Royal Guard!Nico: Cavity search him! Cavity search them all!!!
• Nico reacting in horror to Ga'ran's Evil Costume Switch. He continues to react in disgust to Ga'ran's prosecutor outfit throughout the entire episode, especially to her absurdly long fingernails.
  • Then the next episode rolls around and Nico gets to see Ga'ran angry, much to his delight.
• Nico howling in laughter at Inga's full name...twice; once when he has to go back to the text log to see it's fourteen words long, and another when he realizes the pun is lampshading how long it is.
  Ga'ran (Nico): That is his true... ridiculous name... what the fuck...
  Apollo (Nico): Could it be any more longer or ridiculous or pompous?
  Ga'ran (Nico): The writers don't even fucking tries with these names, do they...
• Ga'ran audibly shitting herself trying to channel the Holy Mother during her breakdown.
• Apollo's "goofy smile" returns once again in the finale.
• Throughout the game, Nico kept making jokes about Larry Butz popping up on TV or among the courtroom audience, just as an excuse to say something bad about him. The Picky Penguins took note of this and convinced him to not watch the DLC case's intro screens and cutscenes, so that he wouldn't know Larry is in it until it was too late. Let's just say Nico hasn't learned much from the Cucco incident.
  Nico: I paid money for this. I. PAID. MONEY. FOR. THIS. I paid money for FUCKING LARRY!
  • Then he starts panicking that the next unwelcome character will be Wendy Oldbag. Thank God it didn't happen.
  • The thumbnail for that episode has his face over what looks like broken glass, as if Nico punched him in the face.
• Then Edgeworth drags Larry off for questioning, much to Nico's relief.
• Komaeda tries to catch Larry.
  Judge: Bailiff! Seize the witness before he makes the run for it!
  Komaeda (Nico): I'm onto it Udgey, come here!
  Larry (Nico): No dude, why does this always happen to me you weird white haired freak?!
  Komaeda (Nico): Come on, don't be so difficult Larry, you come here now!
  Larry (Nico): Oh my god, why is your skin so pale, dude?!
  Komaeda (Nico): I don't get sun very often motherfucker, so get over here! Now, bagel cuffs, BLEUGH!
  Larry (Nico): AAAAAAAA, I CAN'T BREAK OUT OF THESE BAGELS! WHAT ARE THESE MADE OF?!
  Komaeda (Nico): They're not made out of anything, they're just really stale.
  • And then later throws Larry out of the courtroom.
    Judge:  I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you need to leave this courtroom. Bailiff, if you would.
    Komaeda (Nico): Come on buddy, let's go!
    Larry (Nico): No, not you again! God, leave me alone!
    Komaeda (Nico): Larry, you better stop being difficult, you piece of shit motherfucker!
    Larry (Nico): OH GOD GUYS, HE'S MAKING ME GO TO SLEEP, AAAAA GOD AAAA
    Komaeda (Nico): Shhhhh, go to sleep Larry, go to sleep, go to sleep, yeah, there we-
    Larry (Nico): EH EH ehhhhhhhhh THUMP
    Komaeda (Nico): Ah there we go!
    Phoenix (Nico): Oh thank you.
    Edgeworth (Nico): Oh that was so satisfying.
    Judge (Nico): Finally peace and quiet.
    Komaeda (Nico): Ok, I'm gonna drag his ass through the parking lot, I'll see you guys in a bit, bye!
• At one point, Phoenix has to explain an apparent case of time travel. One of the (wrong) options is "the gods," which Nico decides to pick just for fun. When the Judge tells Phoenix to call the gods up to testify, Maya begs off, saying she and the gods aren't on speaking terms after she tried to channel Jesus.
• When Phoenix decides to check the vista deck on the Flying Chapel, Maya pushes him off.
  Maya (Nico): Ha! Take that, Nick. Now I'm the main character of this series. Ah HA ha! Maya Fey: Ace Spirit Channeler! Now, new series, awaaaaaay!

The Great Ace Attorney

Adventures

• The Japanese Judge's favorite food in this game? Turkey Sushi.
  • Nico also subverts his own running gag of having the judge say, "Get the FUCK out of my own courtroom!" at the end of each trial. He instead has the Japanese and British Judges say, "Leave the courtroom in an orderly fashion," and every time he does it, the original Judge expresses disappointment. In the final trial's end, he has the British Judge say a Gosh Darn It to Heck! version, which the original Judge accepts as close enough.
  • The British Judge starts doing it in the second game, much to the original Judge's approval.
• The running gag of Nico forgetting that most of the characters from the English-translated Japanese games he plays are, well, Japanese, continues with the bailiff being dubbed "Japanese Komaeda". This gets brought up in the next episode, where he reveals that he was fully aware of this and was making a joke; however, he then immediately lampshades his tendency to slip up on stuff like this by offhandedly mentioning Luka.
• Despite not actually being Dr. Watson's killer, Naruhodo seems to have an...interesting obsession with guns in the first case.
• Whenever Hosonaga and Jezaille speak "English" to each other, Nico interprets it as them speaking gibberish.
• Almost three years after playing it, Nico still has Ace Attorney Investigations flashbacks at the mention of "extraterritorial rights", thanks to that game's insanely long final "boss battle".
• Nico starting up an "Asogi…" Counter on the same episode where Kazuma dies.
• Everything to do with Sherlock Holmes.
• A bit meta, but Nico making reference to this meme of Apollo◊.
• Nico realizing how many different British voices he's going to have to do to accomodate all the new characters, especially with the introduction of the jury system.
• British Komaeda (who is obsessed with crumpets instead of bagels) and the British Judge. The latter gets in an epic fight with his original Japanifornian counterpart over one of them wearing a toupee, and whether turkey is better than roasted pheasant. It's just as nonsensical as it sounds, to the point van Zieks asks Nico to stop.
  • Speaking of the British Judge, Nico immediately compares him to Santa Claus,^note which was actually intentional on the character designers' part and he asks Naruhodo if he has been naughty or nice... only for Naruhodo to get coal again regardless of his answer.
• While examining Holmes' home, Naruhodo ends up stumbling upon bottles of chemicals which Iris warns could explode. Immediately afterwards, Naruhodo ends up slipping one of them.
  Naruhodo!Nico: Oh god! I slipped on a book- *BOOM*
  • And then when Iris shows off her rocket launcher, Naruhodo blows up again.
    Iris!Nico: Like this right?
    Naruhodo!Nico: AHHHHHH!!!???
    Iris!Nico: Bye Ryu! *Click*
    Naruhodo!Nico: NOOOOOOOOOO- *BOOM!* AGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!
  • And Naruhodo lampshades this Running Gag.
    Naruhodo!Nico: Why does everything keep exploding?
• After Iris was able to correctly deduce that Naruhodo and Susato were both Japanese foreign exchange law students who will be defending Soseki Natsume, Naruhodo became so impressed that he decides to trade Susato for Iris.
  Naruhodo!Nico: Yeah, your way better at this. You want to become our new sidekick? Sorry Susato, you've been replaced.
  Susato!Nico: What the heck!?
  Iris!Nico: Yaaaaayyyyy!!! I'm going on adventures with Ryu!
  Naruhodo!Nico: OK, bye Susato!
  Iris!Nico: Bye Susie, bye!!!
  Susato!Nico: Guys! Guuuyyyysss!!! Come back!!!
• During Holmes' deduction, when Holmes deduces that the Garridebs are keeping a lion in their apartment, Nico can't keep his composure on how ridiculous the situation is. He even reimagines Phoenix feeding Larry to the lion.
  Phoenix!Nico: Get in there, Larry! My lion's hungry! Also I just wanted to kill you so fucking get in there!
  Larry!Nico: ARGH! No please... I promise I will be less annoying...
  Phoenix!Nico: No you won't! I thought of that for the last three times! ^note Ace Attorney Investigations, Ace Attorney Investigations 2, Spirit of Justice I'm not going to be fooled this time!
  Larry!Nico: AAHHH!!
  • In fact, even after correcting Holmes' deduction, the fact that they called the maid, who is in fact John Garridebs' wife, Joan, a beast is hilarious.
    John: Really... you weren't too far off the mark when you call her a *Joan over-pours his teacup* B-B-B-BEEEEEEEASSSSTT!!!
• Anytime that Joan Garrideb pours a cup of tea into her husband's teacup and overflow it. Nico even comments that's gotta hurt considering the fact it becomes a Running Gag.
  • And later during the trial when the Garridebs are at the witness stand, Joan pours her tea... into his smoking pipe.
• During the 2nd trial, Nico is shocked to see Oscar Fairplay, who was a witness from the previous trial, and Joan Garrideb, someone relevant to the current case, at the Juror stand; he wonders whether London has only has 10 people living there.
• Nico's reaction upon seeing van Zieks tossing the champagne bottle nonchalant animation. He even edited that scene where British Larry got hit by it.
  • And during van Zieks' second bottle toss, he changes the bottle breaking sound to an explosion.
• Nico's reimagine of how much crazy shenanigans that Naruhodo has to deal with in the trial from Pat and Lola's lovey-dovey comment on making love on his 'dead lifeless body' and Joan trying to shoot her husband with a revolver, which everyone in the courtroom including Susato consider it normal.
  Naruhodo (Nico): WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS COUNTRY?!
• Holmes offers to let Naruhodo and Susato stay over at his flat. Susato's reaction?
  Susato (Nico): REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
• Nico's cringing over Holmes playing the violin that actually turns out to be a viola.
• Nico's reaction upon meeting Windibank.
  Nico: Oh...your gimmick is threatening suicide...!
• Upon meeting Egg Benedict for the first time, Nico sees his 'dance' animations, after which he comments that he's actually performing for a boy band. Cue "I Want It That Way".
• Susato having a fantasy about Holmes while the detective is bleeding on the ground after being shot.
• As the series progresses, Nico starts to run out of relevant characters to use for his thumbnails and ends up reusing characters with slightly different art. When the comments call him out on this, Nico just gives up and uses the judge for the thumbnail of episode 26. No, not the Japanese or British judge from DGS, the original judge from the main series games.
• Nico's utter joy and laughter at seeing Iris and Susato crossing their eyes, with full 3D animation.
  • In Case 5's trial, the Judge crosses his eyes to view two photos stereoscopically. van Zieks, on the other hand, just uses a stereoscope. Nico notes that van Zieks would've lost all his coolness if he crossed his eyes as well.
    Van Zieks (Nico): I still don't see it, Japanese boy! Damn you! I must cross my eyes harder!
    • And in the following episode, one of the Picky Penguins (Toruma) sent Nico a photoshop picture of van Zieks looking at two pictures while crossing his eyes without the device with the caption "I still don't F*cking see it!"
• Upon questioning Juror 4 (Who is also Juror 6 from the previous case) during the second Closing Argument, Nico was in shocked that the person Juror 4 was operating, whom he jokes on who the poor soul is in previous episodes, happens to be Sherlock Holmes.
  Bailiff (Nico): The court's calling you for jury duty.
  Juror 4 (Nico): I'm in the middle of surgery. It have to wait.
  Bailiff (Nico): Right now sir!
  Juror 4 (Nico): Ah whatever! It could wait! See you later, Mr. Holmes.
  Holmes (Nico): What the devil?! Are you going to leave me like this?! Aren't you going to put me down under? And did you place your lancet inside?
  Juror 4 (Nico): Ah don't worry about it! You stay put, big guy!

Resolve

• Nico's discovery of Herlock Sholmes.
  Nico: And you better fucking believe... I am not calling him that.
• After Nico asks Google how to pronounce "macabre", he decides to ask it how to pronounce "Mo-shu-ri-ge" because he keeps getting so much flak for it. Google's response is "On the meat bone".
• Nico struggling to pronounce Menimemo’s name…or literally anything related to “Menimemoism”.
  Menimemo: Right here in my Menimemo memo pad!
  Nico: OH MY GOD FUCK YOU [laughs]
• Rei and Susato perform a dual toss on Menimemo... also known as Susato's Showtime.
• Nico being hit into Stunned Silence as William Shamspeare, whose "corpse" turns out to be Not Quite Dead, slowly gets up - at the same exact time he's reading the dialogue that has Ryunosuke being caught off-guard, leading to a hilarious bit of acting out Ryu's reaction despite being distracted.
• Nico stops to apologise to the team behind the Scarlet Study Fan Translation for making the "What do you mean?" Running Gag in his Adventures playthrough, noting that the phrase comes up just as frequently in the official localizations of Resolve and the earlier Ace Attorney games. When he goes back to playing the game, he cracks up at the literal next line being the British Judge asking "What do you mean?"
• Nico joking that Soseki likely buys books instead of gas to burn for warmth, then reads the dialogue, and finds Runo making the exact same comment. He cracks up.
• A Running Gag throughout the second and the beginning of the third case is Nico needing to be reminded by the Penguins of major plot details from the previous games, such as which characters are dead and thus can't be involved with the current events.
  • The peak of this is achieved when Nico accuses McGilded of first being Van Zieks' apprentice, despite, you know, already being confirmed dead at that point and then in case 4 wondering how he could've died from Jezaille's hands, because he forgot that it was Ashley Graydon who killed him.
• Upon realizing Esmeralda Tusspells is French, he thinks about it, and promptly decides she has a British accent, because he's just that bad at French accents.
  • The French accent arc continues when he meets Fabien de Rousseau in case 4, saying that he's the first French person he met in this game, Tusspells' denial at its finest.
  • To his utter shock certain commenters actually compliment Nico on his pronunciation of French words as Fabian, leading to him thinking that maybe he should take some French lessons.
• Another Running Gag throughout the 3rd case is Van Zieks wanting his own companion, which was hinted near the end of the 2nd case. In the 2nd half of the former, he finally appears with his apprentice...
  Van Zieks: Hey look! Look, my little Nipponese friend! I got my own Susato! Jealous?
  Naruhodo: N-no... I got the original Susat-
  Van Zieks: SHUT UP! MY SUSATO'S BETTER!
  • Due to said apprentice being silent and stoic, Van Zieks quickly calls him the worst assistant ever for being so boring, wishing that he picked Iris instead.
  • Then when Van Zieks is being prosecuted by his apprentice (who turns out to be Asogi), Van Zieks claims the reason Asogi prosecutes him is for the revenge of being called the worst assisstant.
  Van Zieks: You are trying to pin this on me, aren't you Asogi? That's for all that smack I talked about how you not being a good assistant.
  Asogi: That's right, I am. And I'm getting my vengeance here. Today! Who's a good little Susato now, Van Zieks?
  Van Zieks: Damn it! Not you all right! I will say it again! NOT YOU!
  Asogi: YOU TAKE THAT BACK!
  Judge: Ordarrr! Order in the court! I'm afraid the defendant makes some good points prosecutor. You aren't a very good little Susato.
  Asogi: DAMN IT!
• His luck with accents does not improve, giving Balthazar Lune a rather good Spanish accent... too bad it's the entirely wrong one, as Lune is Italian, and it takes all of his first testimony to realize it. There's even a message telling the Penguins he'll catch on... eventually.
• Nico's squeal for finally seeing Van Zieks' "Legjection" after 21 episodes.
• After Jigoku confesses to his murder of Gregson and explains how he set up the candle trick in Fresno Street, Stronghart has this to say.
  Stronghart: You owe us a new stand by the way.
  Jigoku: Fuck you, Stronghart.
• As Nico scrolls through the court record to accuse Stronghart of being the Reaper, he takes a quick detour to accuse Gina instead.
  Naruhodo: That's right, Gina. You're going back to jail again.
  Gina: Goddamn it! Fuck you, Naruhodo!
• When Sholmes is doing his little hologram dance (which, by the way, is being done at Buckingham Palace in front of Queen Victoria) Nico is so amused that he ab-libs Sholmes singing Kokomo and dancing the Macarena.
