Not to knock on Wrightworth or other Phoenix ships but people like to make most of Phoenix's actions have a romantic undertone and really miss out on the fact that he'll just about die for anyone he considers a friend.

Like he took on a clearcut murder case with zero experience (what's a cross-examination lol) because he was friends with Larry in school.

He STRAIGHT UP ATE GLASS AND METAL for the girl he was dating and was willing to ignore that she'd murdered someone.

He changed his whole ass career to get in contact with Edgeworth again just to make sure he was okay emotionally (and for other reasons that people like to ignore just for making it all about Edgeworth), even though they literally were like in 4th grade together for like half a year.

The first case he defended Maya was almost entirely because of Mia, because he didn't know Maya yet.

Literally EVERY CASE that he defends Maya in he's going above and beyond all reason and logic to prove that she's not guilty.

Him literally going against all reason and evidence and Edgeworth's own admission in the Edgeworth case to prove he's not guilty.

HIM LITERALLY ONLY TAKING ON THE SKYE CASE BECAUSE EMA AND LANA REMINDED HIM OF MAYA AND MIA.

Him literally in the Engarde case willing to compromise all his principles to get a murderer off the hook to save her (they give you the option of going with pleading that Engarde is innocent, even though it doesn't effect the outcome).

Him literally running across a burning bridge at night over a huge cliff to make sure she's alright.

All I'm saying is I think the writers more intended to characterize Phoenix as someone who is willing to do almost anything for people he cares about (even if he acts like a grumpy asshole most of the time), more than emphasizing any one romantic relationship.

(I also think that's why he took Edgeworth faking his death so hard, and was so pissed at him for it. Like he felt betrayed and helpless at Edgeworth commiting suicide, mad (at Edgeworth and himself) that Edgeworth thought he couldn't come to him for help, when he would do anything for him. And then he finds out he was deceived, and couldn't understand how anyone could do that to someone they care about, like it's not in his friendship vocabulary ((also the fact that Edgeworth had confided in Gumshoe and not him that he was still alive, meaning he trusts Gumshoe more than him as a friend.)) It all comes down to Phoenix being betrayed that he's not trusted and his devotion to his friends not returned.)

Anyway sorry this is so long I hope it makes sense.

(also I've only played the original trilogy)

Ace Attorney is really good at writing parallels between the game's main prosecutor and the case's witnesses. For example, I've seen a lot of posts about the parallels Franziska has with the characters of Big Top & Reunion.

But there's a parallel that I haven't seen many people talk about. In Rise from the Ashes, there are three characters that represent how Miles Edgeworth views himself: Ema Skye (past self), Lana Skye (present self), and Damon Gant (future self).

Ema, like Miles, thought she accidentally killed a man during a traumatic event in her childhood. Both of them later find out that this isn't true and was in fact orchestrated by someone else.

Lana represents a lot of Miles' feelings and misbeliefs in Rise from the Ashes.

Lana shut everyone out when she was under Gant's control, she "fought crime alone", just like how Miles operated pre-Turnabout Samurai. But despite teaming up with Phoenix and having support from more people (Gumshoe, Maya, and Larry all fighting for his acquittal in Turnabout Goodbyes), Miles still sees himself as operating alone. He still feels alone: "I do despise criminals. I planned to dedicate my entire life to fighting them. But in order to fight crime on my own, I'd need a "weapon."

Miles also sees himself as deserving of punishment for his use of forged evidence as the prosecutor in the Darke trial, when it was Lana who actually forged the evidence and is punished for it. This is something Gant loves to take advantage of: "ultimately the responsibility falls on the prosecutor in charge."

After finding out that Gant has been blackmailing Lana, Miles says: "Ever since her appointment as the Chief Prosecutor, everyone who knew her... said she changed. Perhaps... it was easier that way for her. [...] To follow Chief Gant's orders. She must have shut herself up deep inside to force herself to do anything and everything the Chief told her to do." While Miles wasn't forced by anyone to become a prosecutor, he also shut himself up deep inside. He buried his feelings of guilt and grief in order to focus solely on getting guilty verdicts.

There is also the fact that Miles was likely the one Gant originally intended to frame for Bruce Goodman's murder (considering the body was stuffed in the trunk of Miles' car and stabbed with his knife).

And finally, Damon Gant is the person Miles sees himself becoming if he continues down the prosecutor's path. Miles says it himself, "who knows? Given enough time, I might have tried to pull something like Chief Gant did. That thought terrifies me. That's why I can't continue on as a prosecutor!"
