Barok van Zieks is a prosecutor in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, Capcom's Victorian era spin off of the Ace Attorney series, released internationally in 2021. Modeled as a feared London prosecutor nicknamed the Reaper of the Bailey, he uses Hold It to press witnesses and challenge testimony in court. Ace Attorney objection and interjection clips have long circulated as reaction sounds online, and van Zieks version stands out for its stern delivery compared with Phoenix Wright and Ryunosuke Naruhodo, giving editors a colder, more villainous alternative for courtroom memes.
About this sound
Barok van Zieks shouting Hold It from The Great Ace Attorney, a sharp courtroom voice line used for objections, interruptions and dramatic reveals.
Barok van Zieks delivers his Hold It interjection in a deep, clipped British accent that cuts straight through a courtroom scene. The line lasts less than a second but lands with formal authority, like a prosecutor slamming a pause button on testimony. His cold, aristocratic delivery makes the moment feel accusatory rather than panicked, which is why the clip works so well dropped into arguments and reaction edits. It instantly signals that something in the previous statement was wrong, suspicious or worth challenging, and it freezes the flow before a rebuttal arrives.
