#another day another small fact abt Mit-chan

[croquis-el]

Fun fact I noticed about Mitsurugi (Edgeworth) while playing the game series

Despite the fact that he is a brilliant prosecutor (although he does not consider himself one) with a brilliant mind, excellent logic, who abandoned the path of perfection, choosing the path of the bitter truth, he... tends to exaggerate the facts in situations that are unfavorable for him.

If we look at the famous dialogue about paper cranes, then in response to Yahari's (Larry) teasing, we get the following answer:

And - amazingly - they believe him! It's hard not to believe the words of a person about whom you have a high opinion.

And okay, he would have said about a regular-sized crane, but a quarter of an inch (I don’t use the American measurement system, but in the Japanese version the size of the crane was 5 millimeters - it’s even impossible to convert this into inches, because according to the converter, 1/4 inch = 6.35 millimeters, which is slightly larger than the original version).

Let's say that he can change the situation for himself in a positive direction in front of the Detective or Yahari - people who are not distinguished by a sharp mind.

But even Franziska (Mei) falls for it!

His foster sister believes he "passed out for a second" when in reality he was out for 10 minutes. She doesn’t even make fun of it, taking his words as fact.

It's funny that with Naruhodō (Wright) he doesn't allow himself to behave like that. He doesn't try to seem better to him by tilting the situation in his favor - his dialogues with him are absolutely frank.

For example, after the earthquake in the mountains at the Hazakura temple, Mitsurugi does not specify the time for which he passed out after feeling the earth tremors, but admits that this was enough for the defendant to escape from custody to the other end of the bridge. Just a fact: I passed out - she ran away. Naruhodou, in turn, simply expresses concern for his condition, without in any way mocking his phobia.

In other words, Mitsurugi can embellish facts that are unfavorable for himself in a dialogue, but he will not do this with all listeners.
