#Mask☆DeMasque

[turnaboutfix]

From @klapollfranmayinator,

Ooh I have not done it! Thanks!

"Nande Yuusaku-san, koko made kaijin ni narita garu no ka naa."

"Why does Yuusaku-san want to be Kaijin so badly anyway?"

(English Localization: "Why does Mr. DeLite want to be Mask☆DeMasque so badly anyway? It's kinda disturbing.")

Real quick, Kaijin is short for "怪人☆仮面マスク", "Kaijin☆Kamen Masuku", or "Mystery Person☆Mask Mask". Yes, Mask is said twice, once in Japanese and once in English, and it's not the only thing like this in this case. KB Security is called "KB警備", "KB Keibi", so it sounds like "Security Security" in Japanese.

Anyway, onto the famous line:

"Medachitagariya, tte wake demo nasasou nanoni."

"He doesn't seem like the type to be an attention seeker."

(EL: "He doesn't seem like your typical attention whore to me.")

This is the word Maya uses, "Medachitagariya".

Alas, it doesn't have the same crudeness or slangy-ness as "attention whore". From my own sleuthing, the word that would be closest to "attention whore" in Japanese would be "構ってちゃん" or "Kamatte-chan". "Kamatte" from "Kamau", meaning "to mind" or "to matter", and "-chan" being the cutesy (and in this case, maybe condescending) honorific. Even so, it's still not as crude, I think.

"....Naruhodo-kun to chigatte."

"....Unlike you, Naruhodo-kun."

(EL: "Unlike, say... you, Nick.")

Phoenix/Naruhodo:

"Boku wa medachitagariya janai zo. (Towaie‥‥)"

"I am not an attention seeker! (Although...)"

(EL: "I am nothing of the sort, thank you very much.")

Phoenix/Naruhodo:

"(Tashikani, doumo fushizen dayo na, Yuusaku-kun no taido wa....)"

"(Yuusaku-kun's demeanor is quite unnatural, isn't it?)"

(EL: "(But I gotta admit it is kinda scary the way Ron acts…)")

Mask☆DeMasque being a popular Halloween costume in the AA universe also implies the existence of a market for Mask☆DeMasque themed versions of those like "sexy (profession/popular character)" costumes and I just want to throw that out there for everyone to chew on.

Thats what DeMasque is, thats what the point of DeMasque is

[jaronofthebored]

I can't believe Mask☆DeMasque gets referenced in both aai games and neither time is Kay anywhere to be seen! Like, come on, really!? I've never seen a more obvious missed opportunity

Phoenix's inner dialogue is EXACTLY what I thought when I read "I guess [Luke Atmey]'s just delusional"

[loneeevee]

I went to this Lordly Tailor store and they made a photocard out of security cam footage of this DeMasque who stole from them LMAO

Reference

[crickit-song]

Just met Mask☆DeMasque and I love him

Also, loving however everyone's first impression of him is "that's a twink"

Anon submitted:

↳ Ron DeLite / Mask☆DeMasque from Ace Attorney

[eway]

Ok, thoughts.

So apparently everyone forgot Ron was revealed to be Mask☆DeMasque during The Stolen Turnabout, and him and Dessie are a thieving duo! Definitely incorporating this into fics. Secondly

EDGEWORTH THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT STEALING SOMETHING AND NAME DROPPED A FAMOUS THIEF! HOW ARE YOU THIS OBLIVIOUS!?

Not that I want these two to get caught

[sadderqueerenergy]

who's winning

“why is phoenix wright famous in-universe” you understand he was a celebrity defence attorney right. his third-ever case was defending a celebrity. the matt engarde case is probably their equivalent of the oj simpson trial.

[goticamarey]

See what I love about The Stolen Turnabout is that everyone who played it reached the same conclusion.

How come nobody in that courtroom noticed it'd be impossible for Luke Atmey to be Mask★DeMasque since HIS NOSE IS TOO BIG FOR THE MASK?

Finding old oc designs in sketchbooks and revamping them, I love doing that

Gentlemen thieves/ top hat classy thieves are characters that I love really much so of course I created one myself !

I don't have a precise background for him yet, something along the lines of "retrieving lost family heirlooms and seeking revenge"

His family mysteriously disappeared in a fire when he was a child, and he got adopted by an older noblewoman under a new identity. Now working as a police officer alongside his shenanigans, he tries to find by who and why did his family perish in that fire at their home many years ago. He commits heists under the name of "Le Lièvre" (The Hare) Has a pet bunny he calls his little "Arsène Lapin"
