Manfred von Karma doesn't know how to read. (objection.lol)

What are they saying? I can't read it.

"Reading is a colossal waste of time." —Manfred von Karma, probably

Waddup I'm Manfred , 65, and I never fucking learned how to read

bruh imagine what fran feels like the same man that literally made her believe that her family has to be perfect in every way cant read bruh bruh moment

I just realised what he meant by "I just tell myself what to say, and then write it down". All of the characters thoughts and words appear on the screen in a text box. He tells himself what he want's to write and copies what's in the text box. Manfred von Karma broke the Fourth Wall so that he didn't need to learn how to read

Plot twist: Manfred can’t read what he’s saying in the dialogue box.

How to reduce one of the greatest villains of the series to a joke in 5 minutes and 2 seconds

POV: Two kids grill their father for not knowing how to read

I love how Franziska calls her father a "fool"

Headcannon: Von Karma’s letter to Yogi is full of spelling mistakes and completely baffling to read aloud

>Not one of them thinks for a second that he’s just flexing how easy it is for him to sway a court room to believe what he says

Young Fran: Papa, what are you reading? Manfred: holding the book upside down, staring blankly at the page Romeo and Juliet, obviously. Fran: But the cover says "To Kill a Mo-" Manfred: d i d i s t u t t e r

Phoenix: "Von Karma! Have you, or have you not finished reading paragraphs 1-4?" Francisca: "I just told you—" Phoenix: "I meant Von Karma Senior." Francisca: "Ah. My apologies."

The fact EDGEWORTH spelled "losing" as "loosing" really shows how many braincells he lost over that trial

They would've solved DL-6 in 5 minutes in this timeline

Judge: “no” What will Phoenix do: A)object B)go home anyways C)try to have a valid point D)shit.

I just love how in-character everybody is. Feels like a real scene from the game if only it wasn't so absurd. Great job!

Obviously he knows how to read, how'd he pass the bar exam! What's with all the paperwork in his office! How'd he sign adoption papers for Miles! How'd he raise Franziska from birth and Miles from adolescence without reading once! He-- he can't possibly be that good at bluffing! He can't be! He must have read! But then... Manfred von Karma would never arrive unprepared to a case unless he absolutely had no alternative... The only reason he wouldn't read vital court documents is if he... If he...! Never learnt how to read...... Dear god.

3:07 The idea of Von Karma snapping his fingers and saying 'NOPE' is just so funny to me.

I could think of 2 reasons why the judge listened to Edgeworth and not Wright: 1) Edgeworth spelled “losing” as “loosing” 2) The judge wanted the trial over just as much as Edgeworth
