i must say I'm used to being inspected by the ladies… but this is the first time i've felt this way with a man.

like this art? it's a print, here! | like what i do? support me on ko-fi!

happy klapollo day! you know.. besides the two other klapollo days i made up as an excuse to draw more klapollo pftt happy people park day! first time i've felt this way with a man day! first meetings day! (it has many names alright pftt)

but ig an explanation since i see some people are confused adfdgd ok so. think of 6/15 as kind of like whatever date unnecessary feelings day is for nrmt and 9/2 and 2/9 as the 7/3 + 3/7 days equivalent

like they're all klapollo days and i've no qualms about you if for you their first meeting is their day (ngl i did have like a sudden anxious thought like "oh god was i too annoying by imposing different klapollo days???" gfdg oops)

but yeahg! hope you have fun looking at whatever it is i put in the background boxes! and i know this is a klapollo piece but trucy might be my favorite part here pftt <33

Self-addressing of the main female characters of Ace Attorney (Gyakuten Saiban)

I promised you, I remember

First we will analyze our mentor Chihiro Ayasato (Mia Fey)

She uses the universal polite pronoun "watashi" and it is written with kanji 私 (which is used to show an adult character)

This pronoun can be used by both women and men (watashi is also used, for example, by Mitsurugi / Edgeworth)

(これ以上、私に ハジをかかせないで････)

(koreijō, watashi ni haji o kaka senaide)

(Don't make me do this anymore...)

___________________________________________

Next, of course, is the younger sister - Mayoi Ayasato (Maya Fey)

Mayoi uses the feminine pronoun "atashi", however it is written in hiragana, which indicates her "youth", compared to her older sister, giving it a less formal feel.

Atashi (あたし)

It is an altered word from わたし(watashi). It is an informal personal pronoun used by the younger generation mostly young females. 

It’s also important to note that the kanji for "atashi" is exactly the same as "watashi" (私).

"Atashi" is most commonly written in hiragana as あたし.

あたしやっぱり、 御剣検事がよかったよ。

atashi yappari, Mitsurugi kenji ga yokatta yo.

I think Prosecutor Mitsurugi was the best.

___________________________________________

The next equally important character is Harumi Ayasato (Pearl Fey)

The miracle child uses "watakushi" to address herself

だってわたくし、 もうシンパイで････。

datte watakushi, mō shin paide.

I'm so worried...

Watakushi (私 / わたくし) is an ultra-formal term, often used by who are profusely polite, very sophisticated, or somewhat old-fashioned. Same kanji as "watashi".  

___________________________________________

Then, Naruhodo's beloved daughter (our daughter) - Minuki Naruhodo (Trucy Wright)

And here it gets interesting. The girl addresses herself in the third person, i.e. instead of "I" she calls herself "Minuki".

それが、みぬきの夢なんです!

sore ga, minuki no yumena ndesu!

That's Minuki's dream!

ホント、パパはみぬきがいないと なんにもできないんだから!

honto, papa wa minuki ga inaito nan'nimo dekinai ndakara!

Really, Daddy can't do anything without Minuki!

弁護士さんが、みぬきの家族に なってくれる、ってコトですか?

bengoshi-san ga, minuki no kazoku ni natte kureru, tte kotodesu ka?

Does this mean that the lawyer will become part of Minuki's family?

This kind of address is considered "childish" and is acceptable up to a certain age. The fact that Minuki does not use any pronoun "I" even at 15 years old can mean different things. Using a pronoun in the third person, your name instead of "I" - allows the brain to process information more easily and impartially in a stressful situation.

And considering that she called herself "Minuki" from the age of 8 (known to us), this is the most likely scenario.

The exact reason is unknown to us, but we can assume about it, and we know that everything here is not just like that.

___________________________________________

Next, our younger colleague - Kizuki Kokone (Athena Cykes)

The master of analytical psychology uses the pronoun "watashi", but it is written in hiragana, which, as in the case of Mayoi, indicates to us that Kokone is still a very young girl who had to enter the adult world too quickly

(わたしは、希月心音 《きづきここね》)

(watashi wa, 《kizuki kokone》).

(I'm Kizuki Kokone)

___________________________________________

The lady prosecutor Karma Mei (Franziska von Karma) also uses "watashi" to refer to herself, but it is written in kanji (like the adult characters).

私の名は狩魔 冥(かるまめい)。････天才検事よ。

watashi no na wa karuma mei (karuma mei). Tensai kenji yo.

My name is Karma Mei. ...I'm a genius prosecutor.

Considering that Mei grew up in the USA, this even gives her more severity and shows her desire for the ideal. In comparison with Mayoi (with whom she is the same age), Mei "formally" looks older, standing out among her peers, in an effort to catch up and overtake her brother.

___________________________________________

The forensic lady Akane Hozuki (Ema Skye) uses the feminine version of the pronoun watashi in her speech - her pronoun is "atashi" (like Mayoi)

あたし････カガク捜査官の 宝月茜(ほうづきあかね)です!

Atashi kagaku sōsa-kan no hōdzuki akane (hō dzuki Akane)desu!

I'm Akane Hozuki, a science investigator!

___________________________________________

And last but not least, Mikumo Ichijou (Kay Faraday)

The crow girl uses the classical formal pronoun "watashi", which at first seems out of place with her appearance, but fits the image of a noble thief. It is also written in hiragana (young character).

わたしは正真正銘の “ヤタガラス”ですよ。

Watashi wa Shōshinshōmei No “Yatagarasu” desu yo .

I am a genuine Yatagarasu.

___________________________________________

I hope you enjoyed it and learned something new about the characters!

Aftermath

Klavier definitely Googled "longest lasting lipstick" that morning Part 2!

.

Yeah, my sisters and I finally started playing Apollo Justice!! Frankly, I'm a little shocked with how like.. BLATANT Klapollo is? Like Klavier is NOT slick! But I'm really loving the game so far! I thought a comic like this would be funny, and just in time for valentines day!

.

OH YEAH, and the Naruhodo/Wright dimple! Idk why I started drawing that, but I find it really fun and endearing. Trucy isn't biologically related, but by coincidence (or fate perhaps) also has it! If you're curious, of COURSE it also applies to Ryunosuke, maybe I'll draw the three of them together for comparison

Anyway, sorry for yapping hehe <3
