Welcome to Bonds of Justice! This is a side series to the Ace Attorney x My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic crossover Elements of Justice, based on Turnabout Storm.
This series explores the drama, sadness and relationships that exist between both our main cast and side cast. Take a look into the world of Elements of Justice and learn more about our character motivations/feelings.
Directors Message:
Welcome back everyone to another installment of Bonds of Justice!
Before you continue reading, a big thank you for all the support last episode. Weve been slightly preoccupied making the main series, so apologies for the delay. It hopefully wont happen again!
But todays episode, what is it about? Well we thought that since everypony else gets the spotlight all the time, the Royal Guard should also have their moment. After all some of you adore our guard ponies...one in particular.
Lets find out what their thoughts are about the case. Make sure to stay tuned for further episodes from the BoJ team. Weve got plenty more coming 😉
Guard #2 hadnt shown up yet and YouTube already got scared. What bad luck for us!

Hey everyone! Things are going pretty slow for Ep 3 of Case 2, but we got another treat for you while you wait! We finally have the Directors Commentary for Ep 3 of Case 1! I am joined by The Joker, MV, Serenity, and Soundman! And Julius a little later! Also, this is going to be our longest DC yet, so get a bunch of popcorn ready!
Special thanks to Soundman for editing this!
SOUNDMANS DISCLAIMER:
The audio is unmastered to save time and effort on the main series. Youll also hear TheAljaviss voice slowing down in the first hour and Pats voice slowing down in the last two. Plus there are three different cases where the audio cuts out altogether for ten seconds, which is probably the Discord bot trying to make sure everybody is synced over such a long time.

Welcome to Elements of Justice! The sequel to the Ace Attorney x My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic crossover, Turnabout Storm!
After the events of Turnabout Storm, Phoenix Wright returned home to continue his life as a lawyer. During this time, he experienced the dark age of the law which he helped bring to an end, thanks to his new allies Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes. However, during those tumultuous years in the human world, only a year and a half passed for Twilight and her friends. For them, a dark cloud has begun to form over Equestria, with supposed murders now becoming an ever-present issue, threatening to destroy the harmony which has reigned for so long.
Will the Wright Anything Agency save Equestria… or will their return bring about its total collapse?
Directors Message:
We did it guys! We managed to make another episode of Elements of Justice! After years of frustration for making the first episode, Ive swallowed my pride and decided to get help from other people to help work on the rest of the series. Bringing this team together and getting to know them has been a blast!
This episode actually couldve potentially been finished sooner, but after heated debate from my writers, specifically Serenity, we decided that we were going to rewrite Case 1s trial. While it was a bummer at the time that it would mean taking longer to get the next episode out, the rewrite was at a MUCH higher quality than the original scripts. So I think you guys will appreciate the extra time to work on this!
Honestly, the transition from working on EoJ by myself to having an entire team was very bumpy, but I think over time we will get find our own synergy, and possibly get to a point where we could finish a case or two! So to the team of EoJ, thank you guys so much for helping me! And thank all of you for sticking with me with this series!
Hope you guys enjoy this episode of Elements of Justice!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vg9Tvw0AScQ&list=PLIXxZC4rUfO4EYpjbJNp1c0X7OPpyyo6E
Hey everyone! So I remember making an official trailer for EoJ years ago, and I think we all can agree that its severely outdated. So with the help of the EoJ team, we were able to create a revamped version of the trailer!
I feel that this trailer shows how much the series has grown since its humble beginnings, not just in terms of the quality, but also how much the MLP and AA communities has grown to support this simple crossover! I just wanna say thank you all for being a part of this journey whether you have been around since the beginning to becoming a fan now! Heres to the future!
Special thanks especially to YDGeon, MLPMVGuy, and Soundman for putting this amazing trailer together!
For those of you who are new to this series, let me explain what this simple series is about.
This story will take place between Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice (Ace Attorney), and between Season 4 and Season 5 (MLP).
The premise of the story: 9 years after being summoned to Equestria, Phoenix Wright, along with Athena Cykes, Apollo Justice, and Trucy Wright, have been summoned to Equestria again. Twilight Sparkle, now an alicorn with the title, Princess of Friendship, was the one who summoned them, because murder is happening in Equestria again. Phoenix and his friends will join Twilight and her friends as they defend the innocent ponies who were framed, and try to solve the mystery of why more and more murders have been occurring in the land of Equestria. Could it be a coincidence, or is there a dark entity looming around these murders?
VOICES:
Phoenix Wright - JuliusGem
Twilight Sparkle - April Ann

However, during those tumultuous years in the human world, only a year and a half passed for Twilight and her friends. For them, a dark cloud has begun to form over Equestria, with supposed murders now becoming an ever-present issue, threatening to destroy the harmony which has reigned for so long.
Will the Wright Anything Agency save Equestria… or will their return bring about its total collapse?
Directors Message:
After years of frustration, self-doubt, delays, and an undying passion, I finally give you the first episode of Elements of Justice! Just letting you guys know, this takes place after Dual destinies and before Spirit of Justice in Ace Attorney, and after Season 4 and before Season 5 of MLP.
Making this fanmade sequel to one of my favorite MLP fanseries, Turnabout Storm, was definitely an adventure for me, and Ive learned many things about myself. If I TRULY wanted something to happen, I will stop at nothing to make it happen.
For those of you who dont know, around the end of 2016, my hard drive completely fried, and I lost all files and assets to not just EoJ, but everything all the way back to high school. And to add salt to the wound, I was almost done with EoJ at the time. I learned the hard way to have a back up hard drive. Luckily, I was able to get most of the VA lines I have saved from emails to continue working on it. Unfortunately the one who I couldnt get the lines back was TheGoldCrow, who was the voice of Phoenix in Turnabout Storm, and was Phoenix again in this project. We both knew he would take too long to revoice the lines, due to personal issues, so I had to drop him from the role. Luckily I opened auditions for Phoenix, and picked Julius Gem, who has been very cooperative and so friendly to work with. Along with a new Phoenix VA, I had to remake a lot of the assets to work on EoJ again, which took way too long to work on due to family and school taking most of my time.
After 2 years of hardly making any process, Ive decided at 2019, if I dont finish the first episode by the end of 2019, Im quitting the series. All of a sudden, this fire unleashed in me, and making incredible process. I was barely done the first 2 scenes to finishing the whole video in a few months. I guess at that point, I knew in my heart I truly wanted this series to happen.
The hard drive being fried was also kind of a blessing in disguise. The assets I made back then looks like trash compared to what I can do now, so ultimately, this video is much more polished and visually appealing than what I originally did.
Im sure most of you are asking, WHY DONT YOU GET HELP?!
Mainly because Im too afraid to ask for help. When I started working on EoJ, I just saw myself as some nobody in the fandom. Im no big name at all, so I just assumed that I wont get any help in the first place. But with the amount of support and quality I was able to produce, people took notice, and now I realize that if I had gotten help a long time ago, then this series wouldve been way ahead in the story. You know the episode when Applejack wanted to take care of the entire apple orchard by herself, and refused for help? Thats exactly me with EoJ. This is a hard lesson learned for me. Im definitely going to ask for help a little after this video is out.
With all of these struggles Ive went through and you guys painfully waiting, I pray to Celestia that your wait and mine for this episode to finish will be worth it.
With all that said, please enjoy the first of hopefully many episodes of Elements of Justice!

Salutations Everyone!
Back in September, several of the Elements of Justice team participated in a panel at the biggest Pony Convention in the UK, UK PonyCon. The panel was an opportunity for attendees to get to know some of the crew, ask questions and even earn some teasers. Over a month has passed since then, so we thought it would be great to share the WHOLE panel with you.
A lot of really cool teasers were won and ALL of them are available to watch on this video. Maybe even a preview of episode #1 was shown. As such, you DONT want to skip this if youve been eager for Case 3 content~
Special thanks again to:
Verdyger - Editing this video
BBQ - Recording the event and being Princess Gs No.1 Assistant
UK PonyCon - For a great event. You should come next year!

Welcome to Elements of Justice! The sequel to the Ace Attorney x My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic crossover, Turnabout Storm!
After the events of Turnabout Storm, Phoenix Wright returned home to continue his life as a lawyer. During this time, he experienced the dark age of the law which he helped bring to an end, thanks to his new allies Apollo Justice and Athena Cykes. However, during those tumultuous years in the human world, only a year and a half passed for Twilight and her friends.

DIRECTORS MESSAGE:
Guess whos back (back), back again. EoJs back (back), tell your friends!
Time to return to what makes Ace Attorney a courtroom drama...that being the courtroom! A lesson for anyone wanting to make an Ace Attorney case, enjoy the process of making a new location, and hope that whatever denomination of God you believe in, or dont believe in, has your back when actually making it. I think the end result speaks for itself though :3
A few errors slipped by us during editing. As always, bonus points if you can spot what they are. Some of them are quite funny in retrospect, like the accidental alicorn in [3-3]. However, well keep working hard to reduce them, we promise!
For this episode, a special thanks goes to:
- SilverFeathers13 (For working on the Cloudsdale courtroom)
- YDGeon (For working on the Cloudsdale courtroom)
- 123Connorpoop (For assisting in editing and automation efforts)
