#do i think he caned them every night? no.#but Investigations shows us clearly how he treated them in a flashback#he outright calls Edgeworth worthless with 0% provocation#(and in response to Edgeworth wanting to be like him)#and also makes it clear (to the audience) that his interest in Edgeworth stops at wanting#to make Edgeworth a feared prosecutor to spite Gregory#meanwhile Franziska has to chase him across the globe and clamor for his attn#and even when she asks if he'll watch her court debut he dismisses her w/ a ''maybe''#at BEST Manfred just ignored them & was hardly ever around#which is still emotional neglect & explains so many of their issues (esp Franziska)#but even when he was around he plainly ignored his daughter & only had interest in Edgeworth#insofar as his prosecutorial career.#it says a lot that Manfred is PUT TO DEATH and Franziska just dgaf as far as we see in JFA#she LAUGHS at the suggestion that her revenge is for his sake#in the airport scene she reveals that being his daughter was a burden to her bc of the expectations#Manfred didn't starve them (of food) or beat them bloody#but he was still a shit dad#it's not a strict dichotomy of abuser and good father. that's just not how this works#ace attorney#manfred von karma#franziska von karma#miles edgeworth#von karma estate
