As much as I would love for narumitsu to be Canon, I just don't feel like it's ace attorney style to heavily explore cutesy romance stuff. It would feel a bit odd I think to have a game where they have a romance arc as aa is not a dating sim ðŸ˜
However I think it's absolutely hilarious if they come out with a new game where they just sorta don't ever substantially say it but it's obvious what's going on.
Ways they could make Narumitsu Canon that I think are funny:
-One of the locations is called "My Apartment" whilst you're playing as Phoenix, and when you go there sometimes Edgeworth is just like... sat on the sofa drinking tea and you're just meant to accept it. (alternatively. You are able to play as both Phoenix and Edgeworth at some point and both of them go to the same "my apartment")
- They put wedding rings on their sprites and never ever elaborate on it.
-There's an almost hidden piece of dialogue that you only get when you fail spectacularly where Edgeworth gets smug and Phoenix thinks "That's it. I am so going to divorce him when we get home" or something sarcastic along those lines. That's the only time it's mentioned.
-There's a case where there are two people in love and Maya is like "Nick you must be so lonely you haven't dated anyone in years. All you do is hang out with Mr Edgeworth all the time >:( " and Phoenix just thinks "Yeah. There's a reason for that" and that's it. You're meant to infer wtf that means.
-Larry complains about being a third wheel once when with Phoenix and Edgeworth.
-Edgeworth's office has a tiny nearly illegible photo that is clearly just a wedding picture of the two of them. You click on it and Phoenix is like "As nice as this day was, did he really have to use the photo where I'm blinking??"
-You present a ring as evidence to Edgeworth and he says something along the lines of "Interesting. It almost reminds me of the one you gave me, Wright"
yknow what? fuck u. *streetwears your ace attorney girls*
image id: a drawing of franziska von karma, ema skye, and maya fey from the ace attorney series. each character has one of their sprites next to them for reference. their outfits are from two different outfit design games—franziska and ema are wearing outfits from life makeover, while maya’s is from shining nikki. franziska is wearing an off the shoulder top with ruffles across the front and sleeves with a black skirt that has laces across the front. she has blue block heels with a flower buckle, the same flower design as her hair accessory. she also has a layered necklace with a blue pendant on the end, three rings, a gold anklet, and a small clutch. franziska is standing midstep, looking over her shoulder. ema’s outfit is similar to her investigations and post timeskip outfits, as she wears a plain top with cropped pants and short heels. over this, she has a white coat with coral panels. a ring, a beaded choker, a shoulder bag, a pink pageboy hat, and her signature glasses complete the look. ema stands with one hip out, adjusting her hat with one hand and holding a drink with the other. maya is wearing loose pants with a ribbon belt with a ruffly purple crop top over a white undershirt. she has a light purple transparent jacket, dangling earrings, a crossbody purse, and multicolored sneakers. maya stands rocked back on her heels, leaning forward, with her hands held behind her, similar to one of her in game poses. end ID.

(whatamidoingwithmylife)
(also would anyone like a second set with lana, mia, kay, and trucy?)
the funniest same age groups are gant and von karma being in the same year and furio tigre and redd white being a year apart. those were big years for cartoonishly evil men.
all ages referenced from the AA wiki, if the birth year is listed as sometime between two years, I took the lower year. capcom really were like [slaps the roof of AA] "this bad boy can fit so many 90s babies"
phew! this project was a labour of love that started when I read a fic set pre Blackquill going to jail, where a smartphone was used to connect to a car and stream music, and it threw me so completely I had to google what year it was set in and ??? he went to jail in 2020???? and then I spiralled down a rabbit hole of looking up all these characters' ages to get context for how they all fit together, and it lead to this! the only gen alpha character I could find was Jinxie, who was born in 2012, and sadly the Judge does not have a listed age but I assume he's also somewhere in the Boomer category. I tried to get a mix of characters across the different games though alas, there are so MANY millenials in this franchise that there were a few I had to leave out just for space reasons.
