A bestfriendship doesn't have to be codified or stuffed into nuclear found family dynamics to be deep. Sometimes good friends can be good friends without seeing eachother as pseudo siblings.

HOWEVER let me make one thing clear, Maya does actually see Phoenix as her brother.

this implies one of two things: either the engarde case was a huge deal in-universe and de killer's profile rose since then, or phoenix wright is the most oblivious motherfucker in the entire legal practice

the attempt to try to make the ace attorney games as self contained as they can is really funny because I mean the doylist reason for edgeworth never referring to phoenix by name in aai is that they didn’t want constant name drops to phoenix wright to feel confusing or invasive to players who are playing it as their first ace attorney game.

but from a watsonian perspective it just makes edgeworth look completely insane. “ah yes that man who had such a profound impact on me and I have a deep unwavering respect for who I shall NOT name under any circumstances.”

something that I find fascinating in bridge to the turnabout is when edgeworth says that while he was caught up in the middle of the dl-6 investigation, he had actually met misty fey himself.

I’m sure this was before the channeling began. whether or not he was actually in the room when it happened is up for debate. but because edgeworth never alludes to a reunion with his father, I think it’s safe to say that the police barred him from interacting with his spirit. maybe he was forced out of the room. or maybe he just sat there, crying to himself believing his father was right there and he couldn’t speak to him.

what’s interesting is that edgeworth vehemently dismisses the kurain channeling technique and sees all spirit mediums as frauds (even when mia is channeled in court and clearly visible). so, it’s possible that this anger stems from something a lot more personal than “it’s scientifically impossible.” I think he staunchly refuses to believe in the fey clan’s legitimacy because accepting it means that he��could’ve seen his father again, but wasn’t allowed to. so he’d rather think that there is absolutely no way to bring back the dead, ever. it’s a way to protect himself—the police were wrong, so he didn’t actually miss his chance to speak to his dad.

I don’t know, there’s a lot more to edgeworth seeing misty as a fraud than just this, and maybe I’m totally wrong. but it’s a possibility that I thought of.

I choose to believe Gant had time to put a body in Edgeworths trunk not because Edgeworth was busy at a party or anything, but because Edgeworth had to walk down like ten flights of stairs and had to do so at a slow and deliberate pace because hes obsessed with looking like he does everything casually

The villains wiki lists “master of disguise” as one of Shelly’s skills, and I can’t say I agree.

He has a very distinct scar clearly visible, and his hair and monocle remaining unchanged doesn’t do him any favors either.

And that’s not even mentioning the fact that he’s literally wearing his calling card in this one.

(And the hair, scar, and monocle, of course)

No, he’s no master of disguise. What he is, is charismatic enough that he makes people want to believe he is who he says he is, despite his frankly awful disguises.

prosecutor moment

if there's one takeshi yamazaki genuinely excelled at in his tenure as an ace attorney writer it's putting edgeworth in circumstances that are his own personal hell. i love in aai how its like hmmm okay. case where edgeworth finds a dead body and gets held at gunpoint in his own office. case where edgeworth passes out from a panic attack at experiencing airline turbulence because it's too much like earthquake tremors and then he finds a dead body in an elevator. and then lets follow THAT up with a case where someone believes she accidentally murdered her own father. and then finally icing on the cake. case where he finds out the steel samurai is larry. really rock bottom stuff for the guy you love to se it

small brain: edgeworth's unnecessary feelings are gay thoughts and it's a gay moment

larger brain: edgeworth's unnecessary feelings are about his dogmatic worldview changing so it's not a gay thing

galaxy brain: edgeworth's unnecessary feelings are about his dogmatic worldview changing, which is gay as fuck to do because of another man

so i am playing ace attorney rn and at first i was like yeah i don't understand why everyone seems to like edgeworth so much he's an asshole and has no morals. then you know which case happened and now i am in love with edgeworth. a complete 180 for me.

[prosecutor-artemisia]
