I've seen so many posts about aai being like "look Edgeworth's bluffing he learned so much from Phoenix!!" But Phoenix learned everything from Mia and Mia learned everything from Godot so I love the implication of Godot's entire legacy being "lie, be dramatic, and commit to the bit" which is exactly what he does every single second he's onscreen.

Obligatory Feenie and young Edgeworth because i've been trying to limit my color pallete and be looser with my sketches and I like how it came out! :D

"phoenix's type is accused murderers" "phoenix's type is people he thinks he can fix/save" wrong. phoenix's type is this

(I was ready to hug it out with him, but he's just the same, prideful Edgeworth.)

Bonus NRMT for under the cut:

I think one of the reasons Edgeworth was less receptive to Phoenix's concern after the earthquake in 3-5 (and also perhaps why Phoenix didn't try to actually hug him) was because they were talking at an active crime scene with cops all around. Edgeworth really picked the most uncomfortable place on the map to compose himself, lol. I like to think if they were talking alone they'd be more open with each other.

the way that case 3-5 subtly guides you towards the godot reveal by giving you all the pieces and placing the mantra of "once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains must be the truth" into your head is legitimately some of the best writing in any piece of media ever.

No one suspects godot up to that point, because why would you? Then it throws the evidence screen in front of you and is like "pick out the culprit, all you know is that they're a man"

one by one you go down the list of men involved in the case, and one by one you realise that it's impossible that they're the suspect. then you get to Godot. you realise that he was completely absent until the bridge was rebuilt. he was the only one unaccounted for during the time of the murder, and he is the only character one would feasibly be able to recognise in the dark. All the puzzle pieces suddenly come together in your head and it all makes perfect sense. The game doesn't even hint at him being the killer before that - as far as you know he's only related to the case because he's the prosecutor - but it gently places the breadcrumbs in front of you at just the right time and everything comes crashing together so fucking perfectly

it's so fucking good dude i love 3-5 so much
