Kazuma doodle dump while watching some dgs streams (feat. almost as many ryuus lol)

[image description: a page of uncoloured doodles of Kazuma Asougi and Ryuunosuke Naruhodou from the Great Ace Attorney.

The first has Asougi looking to his side at the viewer with both hands on his sword in front of him, looking unimpressed as he says “u suck partner” with sparkles around him. Naruhodou as his mouse mascot is looking slightly annoyed and blushing as he says “ur not making this any easier”.

The second has Asougi leaning forward, one hand unsheathing his sword slightly as he angrily says “Thrust it in the witness’s face and make him choke on it!”. Naruhodou’s face is beside it, blushing and looking away slightly panicked, saying “Kazuma omg”

The third has Asougi crossing his arms, wearing his shirt and suspenders, grinning as he says “my eyes are up here, bestie” to Naruhodou, who is standing next to him and staring at his chest, blushing.

In another, Asougi as a cat has caught Naruhodou as a mouse in his mouth. Lastly, in one corner Susato is smiling and crossing her arms as she says “Haha Naruhodou you are banging my brother”.]

I went back over my old Asoryu baby au and I suddenly wanted to draw more of it

parenthood is hard

[yayneloveart]

Drawing Baby Asogi is very therapeutic for me, I dunno why

(for anyone who hasn’t seen Ouran Host Club, Usa-chan is a cute nickname for rabbits. Kazuma is not talking about keeping the united states of America clean.)

[yayneloveart]

I'm in a very bad place mentally so I drew some Asoryu baby stuff because it makes me happy.

Kazuma ends up having to deal with so much crying

Drawings from chapter 18 of Trials and Trimesters.

Do not compare your pregnant wife to a very large volcano

A dumb chibi doodle that came to me when I should have been in bed

In the asoryu baby au, Van Zieks does not like small smelly children in the courtroom. He also doesn’t care for Baby Asogi being there either.

Ryunosuke rightfully does not trust Sholmes or Iris to look after the small child so he takes him everywhere

[yayneloveart]

Babies are so gross but so cute

[yayneloveart]

Chuunosuke and Catzuma for the Asoryu Baby Au! Baby Asogi takes after his mother, or else I would have to draw some ungodly amalgamation of a cat and a mouse.

[yayneloveart]

The #1 dumbest joke I've made in this AU (so far)

The only reason why Kazuma is chill is because he figured that if Iris turned out okay, then Sholmes could be trusted with his baby

Ryunosuke does not feel the same

[yayneloveart]

I put waaaay too much effort into this joke.

Its a wonder after being raised by Sholmes how Iris turned out so... Okay

[yayneloveart]

Some Kazuma and Catzuma bonding with little baby Asogi

Baby Asogi is not interested in swords. Baby Asogi demands milk.

[yayneloveart]

I dunno why but I pictured toddler Asogi dressed for winter in a ton of layers and could hardly move.

Ryunosuke would be the mother who would overdress his child for the cold and freak out at every scrap and bruise. Kazuma has to keep him in check.

Trials and Trimesters, Chapter 5

It's already over? But we've hardly had any time to question the witnesses!

Before they knew what even happened, the jury had declared the defendant 'guilty'. Without giving Kazuma a chance to thoroughly question the driver, several jurors made up their minds, and Van Zieks drove the last nail into the coffin by revealing the defendants occupation.

Just because he's a loan shark doesn't mean he's a murderer…

"Wouldn't it be in his best interest that Mr. Mason stay alive?" Ryunosuke whispered to Kazuma. "He can't collect on his debt if he's dead."

"Some loan sharks will kill those who default on their loan to send a message to other clients," Kazuma explained. "But usually those murders are done more… discreetly."

This was a huge blow to Kazuma, who fought hard to convince the jury to give him more time, to hold their verdicts until he could cross examine the driver more thoroughly. They refused to listen, and they were left with one juror still undecided. Then, Van Zieks pulled out his trump card and won over the knitting grandmother. The gallery was going mad over this unexpected turn of events.

"Is there no way to appeal to the jury?" Kazuma had both hands on the table, his head hung low in defeat. The last time Ryunosuke saw him look so destitute was back during his own murder trial. That time they were saved when Susato barged into the courtroom with last minute evidence, but there's no chance of that happening here. All she could do now was flip through her law textbook, frantically looking for any kind of solution.

Just a little earlier, they had won some footing when the murder weapon was presented. Kazuma had taken a close look at the blade and sheath after Van Zieks had presented it and claimed that it belonged to the defendant.

"Do you have the provenance for the blade?" Kazuma asked as he looked at the single 'M' engraved on the handle.

"We… did not obtain one," Van Zieks answered. "There was not enough time given to find proof of ownership, we would have had to question every blade manufacturer in London to find the one who made this blade and who bought it. The prosecution felt that the circumstances alone gave ample enough proof of ownership."

Kazuma slammed his hand into the table. "So the prosecution is basing the ownership of the blade on a single initial! An initial the defendant shares with the victim!"

"Objection!" Van Zieks shouted back. "The blade is clearly too ornate for the penniless Mr. Mason to afford. Only a man such as Magnus McGilded could afford something so extravagant."

"Objection! You are still making assumptions without physical evidence. Without a provenance for the knife, we cannot assume that it belonged to the defendant."

That earned a hard glare from the prosecution and some hushed whispering from the jury. Ryunosuke looked over at Mr. McGilded and saw a sly smirk on his lips. The ball of anxiety inside him grew a little larger at the sight.

They had no idea that despite the small victory this gave them, only a few minutes later the jury would be totally won over with a little testimony and the truth of the defendants profession.

"There's a footnote here," Susato stopped flipping pages in her law book and found a passage. "'At this point, the defense has the right to demand a 'Summation Examination' of the jury'."

"Objection!" Van Zieks shouted. "When was that ancient text your holding published? It must be at least 50 years old, as no modern law book would even bother to mention it. No modern barrister would dare invoke it."

Kazuma ignored Van Zieks' objection and looked at the law book to read the full text. The text looked like a giant block of gibberish to Ryunosuke, so he used the time to glance at the debtor's ledger they were given earlier. It was already open to the page where Mr. Mason's name was listed with his loan amount and due date. Curiosity led him to read the other names on the page, looking down the list until he saw a familiar name.

'Fairplay'?

"I understand that invoking a 'summation examination' is no longer practised," Kazuma began once he finished reading, "but no one has yet to state that it was ever formally revoked. The defense asserts it's right to a summation examination, my lord!"

The wine glass, the 'hallowed chalice', in Van Zieks hand was suddenly crushed in his grip. Wine and glass shards showered down to the ground beside him. "This… is madness…" he growled.

You crushing your 'chalice' with your bare hand is the only madness in here...

"The defense's petition is perfectly valid," the judge announced. "The court will proceed with the summation examination."

The judge began to instruct the jury on how the examination is done while Kazuma and Susato strategized. From what Ryunosuke heard, it sounded like Kazuma would have to convince the jury to change their verdicts.

He's the most charming person I've met, but will that be enough to convince these people to change their minds?

---

"This man is clearly some form of eastern sorcerer, using magic to deceive us!" The foreman of the jury shouted to the other jurors.

"The only 'magic' I'm using is the magic of logic and evidence," Kazuma tried to keep a level head with the jurors. He had immediately seen a discrepancy in how jurors 3 and 6 understood the event and tried to show them the problem, and now he's being called an evil, foreign sorcerer.

"Tell me this, dark jinx!" The foreman called out to Kazuma. "How is this a problem? Maybe the man was stabbed twice, once seen by the rooftop passengers, and the second by the driver. There's no reason to call out the dandy and the old lady!"

"Except that's impossible," Kazuma took a calming breath. "The autopsy report only reported one stab wound on the victim. Something in the witnesses' testimonies has led the young man and lady to believe something that isn't true."

The courtroom filled with murmurs as the gallery and jurors talked among themselves.

"This young easterner sounds very confident."

"He's poking holes all over the prosecution's case."

"Did one of the witnesses really lie?"

"They should question the driver again!"

"Someone is trying to pull the wool over my eyes," Juror 6 frowned as she furiously knitted. "I may be old, but that doesnt mean I can be taken advantage of." She stopped knitting to raise her hand, bringing up a new ball of fire to launch into the scales. The flag behind her changed to white and she launched the flame, tilting the scales towards 'not guilty'.

"I concede," Juror 3 agreed. "I hate the rich, but I also hate being lied to." He changed his verdict as well, launching a new ball of fire onto the scales.

"We've changed two jurors' minds!" Susato clapped her hands. "We only need two more to keep the trial going!"

She looked over at Ryunosuke, but he was clearly not listening to her. He was staring off into space, his eyes focused on nothing in particular.

"Ryunosuke-san?" Susato reached out to touch his arm. "Are you okay?"

"The prosecutor has been staring at me since we approached the stand," he told her. "He's scaring me a little."

Susato looked over and saw that Van Zieks had his eyes trained on Ryunosuke. He wasn't glaring like the way he looked at Kazuma, but he did not look friendly at all.

"Maybe you should say something to Kazuma-sama…"

"I think he sees him too… his hand hasn't left Karuma since we took the stand."

He was right, Kazuma's hand had not left his sword the whole time he had been questioning the jurors.

“He won't get anywhere near you,” Susato promised. “If he tries, I will throw him across the courtroom!”

“I appreciate the sentiment, but maybe we can leave that to the bailiff…”
