Terrible Whitewashed Netflix Adaptation Names For The Great Ace Attorney's Japanese Characters
(inspired by a Persona 4 post I participated in)
Ryunosuke Naruhodo - Ryan Nelson
Kazuma Asogi - Kevin Arnold
Susato Mikotoba - Susan Michaels
Yujin Mikotoba - Eugene Michaels
Genshin Asogi - Gary Arnold
Seishiro Jigoku - Steven Johnson
Satoru Hosonaga - Stanley Hoffman
Rei Membami - Riley Morrison
more details:
they're all from 1890s Los Angeles in this version, but they're still visiting Britain. there are no puns because the writers weren't willing to put in the effort
Barok van Zieks has a deep-seated hatred of Americans. Jezaille hates them even More
Kevin is a Wild West gunslinger instead of a swordsman. in his holster he carries his father's gun named Karma. after all, an American man's gun is his soul
my friend @redcloak said "an American man's gun is his soul" sounded like something that would be on a Republican dude's t-shirt. therefore I must unfortunately conclude that instead of being liberal like in canon, in this universe Kevin and Gary are conservatives
instead of dueling to the death with swords, Klint and Gary dueled to the death with guns
judo? what's that? Susan and Steven are just really good at Greco-Roman Wrestling
Soseki's still there, because the writers couldn't be bothered to look up any real-life American authors of the era that were studying in Britain to replace him with (and neither could I)
Eugene's wife is still named Ayame for the sake of Iris's name. she and Soseki are the only ones that were still allowed to be Japanese
