#and edgeworths ringtone was the steel samurai theme

[sunnnfish]

Was playing ace attorney and the steel samurai theme was playing and then my phone rang and well. My ringtone is also the steel samurai theme. Was a funny moment to me

Dear Whoever-Wrote-This-Letter,

First off, I never received any puppy from Wright. I adopted Pess from a Pet Adoption Center that breeds purebreds. Not that Wright would ever know where to find one in a million years. 

Second, Wright was never a Samurai fan. I know a Steel, Nickle or any Samurai fan from miles away and Wright was. not. one. of. them. ESPECIALLY not Larry, who might I mention was never the kind to hide how much he missed me. I don’t care if Wright has its theme song! He knows as much about how to change a ringtone as he does changing his screensaver on his computer.

Third, Wright never contacted me until sometime once I became a Prosecutor since he didn’t know where I lived. It isn’t as if he could track me down and I was so grieved that I never bothered contacting him. 

(It feels like some horrid adaptation of Wright’s life. What’s next? Are they going to claim that my mentor adopted me as well?)

- Miles Edgeworth

i love how phoenix wright’s ringtone is the steel samurai theme skjfkjdgs, i’m sure maya set it like she put up the poster in his office but it’s still iconic... edgeworth must think that his boyfriend is a massive steel samurai fan like he is

[gummyshoe]

Hi i just wanted to chat hope you don’t mind :)

So, seeing your favorite cases, what were the reasons that you like each of them? I really wanna know those reasons

Hope you have fun with the other games btw!

hello!! ofc i don't mind, i'd love to talk!! but damn what a question... i'm keenly aware that Samurai + Big Top are a part of the third case syndrome, leave me alone 😭

i love Turnabout Samurai because it introduced my favorite track: the Steel Samurai theme!! i don't care what anyone says, that song's a literal banger. i even made it my phone ringtone. it also solidified Gumshoe's spot in my favorite characters list when he saVED OUR ASS AT THE END?? LIKE WOW GUMSHOE PLS I LOVE YOU FOR THAT TYSM YOU'RE THE BEST

i think this is kind of obvious but i loved Turnabout Goodbyes because of Edgeworth LOL!! Edgey... he's my precious baby.... i also rlly liked how the bird was called up to the witness stand, plus Lotta was pretty cool too. that case was great when it came to geting justice for Edgeworth, and with helping him find closure. poor man was struggling with his dad's death for so long.

Rise from the Ashes was SO. COOL. I GOT REALLY INTO IT. i think i liked it because it felt exhilarating to me?? both that and i felt like it was incredibly interesting too— i liked its story, and i was invested. outing myself rn but i'm a texan myself so Marshall's whole shebang made me wheeze, tho his lil cowboy theme song was great too. i like listening to it. on another note, GANT GENUINELY SCARED ME AND STILL DOES. there's just something about his smiley disposition laced with underlying threats that got me shaking in my cowboy boots. if he were standing right in front of me i'd def shit myself 100%

i loved Turnabout Big Top mostly because of the fun factor. i had a lot of fun with it, plus i rlly liked Acro 😭. i like Maximillion's design, i think he looks very pretty (tho he needs to back off of my child Regina or he will catch these hands). i later learned that Acro is the only AA character to accidentally kill someone that wasn't his original target, and it garnered quite a bit of sympathy from me. up until that point, the killers didn't really show any remorse for their actions, and the fact that Acro felt awful for killing Regina's dad reallt made me feel for him. he's def one of my favorite criminals because of that.

FAREWELL, MY TURNABOUT WAS C R A Z Y. i'm a major gamer, and it can be hard for games or just fiction in general to get a genuine, intense reaction from me, and holy shit this case really threw my emotions all over the place. THAT TWIST??? UP UNTIL THEN I THOUGHT I COULD TRUST ALL THE DEFENDANTS BUT NOPE. kept this case in mind during the entirety of my Trials and Tribulations playthrough. THE TENSENESS OF THE ENDING GOT TO ME SO BAD. I COULD NOT SIT DOWN. I LEGITIMATELY GOT UP AND WRITHED BECAUSE THIS CASE MADE ME FIDGET SO BAD. the uncertainty of Maya's fate as well as whether or not Gumshoe would make it dealed like 20k damage to me. PLUS, FRANZISKA BESTIE HOURS???? SHE WAS LITERALLY SUCH AN ULTIMATE BRO. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. also, will powers made a comeback. i love him.

Bridge to Turnabout was by far my favorite in terms of story. i really enjoyed what it brought to the AA lore in terms of the Feys, and to put it bluntly, i thought it was so completely epic. i figured out during that last trial that Godot killed Misty way before they pieced it together in-game, and it blew my mind. i knew a little bit about Godot before i even got into Ace Attorney, and i was under the pretense that he had actually died and came back to life?? i mean, if the Feys' entire bodies change when they channel a spirit, then i wouldn't put it past Capcom to further add to the supernatural element. but nope! the mans is not a zombie. i had actually strongly disliked Godot up until the end of that last trial, so now i kind of like him. YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT ELSE BLEW MY MIND?? when i realized Maya had been channeling Dahlia the entire time. that WOWED me. one of my top favorite parts of that case was when Pearl channeled Mia and Mia proceeded to ABSOLUTELY DESTROY DAHLIA. when Mia said, "...You will never defeat me. Whether you're alive, dead, or somewhere in between, you will never defeat me. As long as I'm around, you're destined to lose for all of eternity!" I WAS SCREAMING/CHEERING SO LOUD. LIKE, HELL YEAHHHH! SLAY MIA, DESTROY HER! i loved it. LET'S NOT FORGET ABOUT TWO OTHER THINGS: the fact that you got to PLAY as MILES, and that they BROUGHT BACK CORNERED!!! you bet i squealed like a schoolgirl when i got to play as edgy. AND CORNERED!!! it took me a few seconds to process that it WAS cornered, and once i realized that the best courtroom song was playing i immediately felt PUMPED!! IT WAS AWESOME! i jammed out to it for a little bit before continuing lmao.

AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING FUN WITH THE OTHER GAMES!! i've been playing the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles lately and i'm loving it so far. i'm not used to the 3D aspect, but i do like how it makes the characters more expressive with their behavior in comparison to the trilogy. i do miss the nice 2D artwork tho :"). i'm only on the second case, but i think Sholmes is hilarious (every time i encounter him in some weird position, or whenever he just pops up outta nowhere i just start wheezing. he's great)!! BUT WHY DID THEY HAVE TO PULL A MIA AND KILL OFF KAZUMA?? i sobbed so hard because kazuma was wonderful. i loved him so much. but that makes me wonder if he's going to continue to be relevant throughout the game, because even after Mia died, she never truly "died", thanks to Pearl and Maya channeling her. from as far as i can tell, Susato isn't Maya's ancestor (if it wasn't obvious from the get-go by the different surnames), so i'm curious to whether or not a Fey will pop up later on. but that's only if Kazuma is still gonna be important :"). ryunosuke is my baby boy and i will brawl god in his honor.

thank you for feeding into my secret desire to never shut up!!!!! 😊

So I don’t know if you’re okay with writing something like this, and it’s okay if you’re not just say so. But would it be alright to request the prosecutor siblings, franziska and miles, and headcanons on how they met their SO?

Hiya Anon! Of course it's alright, you can request anything that follows my rules >3< I tried my best and I hope this isn't too boring or anything bad ewe''

(I also tried to use these banners/headers, but I'm not so good at them ;v;)

-----------

How Miles Edgeworth & Franziska von Karma met their S/O:

Miles Edgeworth:

So

There was a Steel Samurai event during a weekend;

A weekend that Edgeworth happened to have free;

He probably was the only adult without a kid to accompany;

But AnYways;

He was wandering around, looking for some new merch he didn't already have;

He first saw them when they were asking people around a stand to help them choose between two "signal samurai" keychains;

Since he had the red one, Edgeworth recommended that one as he walked near that stand;

They gladly accepted his advice;

He met them again as they waited their turn to receive an autograph from producers who attended the event;

And they also shared with him an extra limited-edition card they had as a thank you for his advice;

Then the strange started;

He was with Gumshoe at the police department to review some evidence in view of the next case;

They were distracted when a phone started ringing;

It wasn’t too much trouble, until Edgeworth recognized the main theme of the Steel Samurai;

That’s when he lost some beats since he had the same ringtone;

He searched for the phone and breathed the biggest sigh of relief of his life when he noticed it wasn’t his;

But he was shocked anyway when the owner of the phone showed up, and it was them, in a detective uniform;

WELL-

Now he more or less understands why they looked anxious and took his advice very much to heart back at the event;

BUT NOW, Miles has someone to talk to about the Steel Samurai when he visits the police department;

And when he’s on his work travels;

And eventually, whenever he comes home.

Franziska von Karma:

She met them in a less circus-like way;

She had to hide in the local library to organize perfectly her line of accusation for her next trial;

In the library because of a certain scruffy fool who can't hold crucial information for himself instead of giving it away to the defense every time;

She chose the library also because the defendant, in that case, had dissociative identity disorder and she thought she could find some psychology books about it to reinforce her line of attack;

And there actually were some!;

But a person already took the one she needed-;

So she wasted some time reading other psychology books she might need;

But after the second book, the one she really needed was still used, so she politely asked the person who was using it if she could sit beside them, so they could use it both;

They offered to just give it to her, but Franziska was one step away from starting a speech about how she didn’t deserve it because she had arrived late and blablablah before they agreed and let her sit beside them;

Since they had already read it, they even helped her when she didn't understand something;

They continued to meet whenever Franzska visited the library since they were always there, for a reason or another.

Miles Edgeworth is the reason why my call ringtone is the Steel Samurai theme for over 4 years.

[mewtonian-physics]

i forgot to respond earlier but YES if you feel up to ranking the cases you should! :D

i absolutely feel up to it! okay, let’s go! below, my rankings for all of the ace attorney cases i’ve played so far... please note that these are all subjective opinions and you may highly disagree, but this is how i feel :) please also note that this will contain me crushing hard on a couple of characters but i promise not to get over the top about it.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney

The First Turnabout -- 2/10 I literally do not care about this one like, at all. I do like having Mia around, hence why it has 2 points instead of 0. But also it’s a Larry case and I really do not like Larry. Plus... everything else. I just don’t like it. (And Phoenix having passed the bar exam but not knowing what a cross-examination is, even if it’s just for tutorial purposes, drives me up the wall.)

Turnabout Sisters -- 6/10 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA [sobs] This case hurts me. It hurts. Both because of the painful loss of sibling rights and because April May exists. Very different types of hurting, but all the same... She’s one of the reasons why this case gets points taken off of it. Another reason is that I’m just not huge on how it progresses; I’m never a fan of when Mia has to come in and be like ‘this is what you need to do!’ I like figuring it out myself, y’know? But also, heyyyyy, introduction to some characters that are very dear to my heart! Edgeworth time! Fantastic!

Turnabout Samurai -- 5/10 I like Will Powers a lot, and I would kill for Cody, and Penny makes me happy because she has the same name as me, and Dee Vasquez... Wow. Wow. She’s really something. But the plot is kind of boring and goes on for too long, Wendy Oldbag makes me want to defenestrate myself (especially when she talks to Edgeworth) and Sal Manella fills me with a murderous rage. So this case only gets a 5/10. It would probably get lower, except I really love Edgeworth realizing what’s going on and starting to help out, and the scene at the end... well. Well. I’m sure I don’t need to elaborate.

Turnabout Goodbyes -- 10/10 Excellent case. Perfect case. Could not think more highly of it. Yes my lifespan is decreased whenever I see Manfred von Karma but it’s okay. I love defending Edgeworth and I love the backstory even though I also hate it, and I love the actual realistic depictions of trauma, and I love cross-examining the parrot, and I love love LOVE the ending, of course, because getting justice has never felt so goddamn satisfying before. Yeah, I think this case is just my absolute favorite (so far).

Rise from the Ashes -- 9/10 This case hurts me deeply for a thousand different reasons. The sibling rights... The REMOVAL of sibling rights... (I cried. I actually cried.) Edgeworth suffering... It’s all so painful but it’s so well-written that it’s okay. Point taken off because the whole rotating evidence thing kind of annoyed me. ‘But isn’t that also a mechanic in the Investigations series?’ Yeah, but it’s okay when Investigations does it. Don’t ask me to elaborate.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice for All

The Lost Turnabout -- 3/10 This case only gets points for Maggey, and also Wellington’s cool ringtone. Oh, and the line about bananas. You know the one. Otherwise, it’s just kind of boring, though I do appreciate that they actually came up with an excuse as to why Phoenix suddenly needs everything explained to him again. Even if that excuse is a bit silly.

Reunion, and Turnabout -- 7/10 It’s not a favorite by any means, but this one is pretty good. Pearl is just baby. The whole Miney sisters thing is deeply upsetting to me, but in a way that’s kind of good. The Hotti Clinic makes me really fucking angry and creeped out, so points taken off for that. Also, Franziska has arrived, and oh boy am I glad to see her!

Turnabout Big Top -- -10000000000000000/10 NO NO NO NO NO. FUCK THIS CASE. I HATE IT SO FUCKING MUCH. I DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS ONE. The only good thing in it is how Franziska talks about Miles, because sibling rights are real. But the rest of it? The rest of it can burn.

Farewell, My Turnabout -- 9/10 This is a really good case! I LOVE the twist, I didn’t expect it at all, and it was so cool. I also really like Adrian. Shelly de Killer is pretty cool too. And of course, Edgeworth is back! Hallelujah! Franziska getting shot though... :( And having to go to that damn clinic... :((( Oh and also I love Shoe with every fiber of my being.

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations

Turnabout Memories -- 7/10 Ah, another flashback case, and one that doesn’t absolutely destroy me emotionally! Mia is here! Phoenix Wright as a sick college student with no common sense is here! Dahlia Hawthorne is here! It’s quite a collection of interesting individuals, and on top of that, it’s just a cool case! Even if lovestruck Phoenix makes me feel like hitting someone... Sort of like what it does to Mia... 

The Stolen Turnabout -- 6/10 The case itself isn’t that good, to be honest. But I would kill for Ron and Desiree DeLite. They’re so sweet, and Ron is so funny... On the other hand, though, Luke Atmey can go Zvarri himself. I hated him from the very moment he first appeared. What an annoying, fraudulent ass. Also, Godot was there, and I didn’t like him, either, even though I hadn’t yet seen quite just how bad he can get. It was really nice to see Adrian living her best life, though!

Recipe for Turnabout -- 2/10 I really didn’t like this one... I don’t want to talk about it... I did like Lisa Basil though. Too bad she wasn’t much of a character. Oh, and Viola too. And seeing Maggey again was nice. But those were the only good points in an otherwise horrible case.

Turnabout Beginnings -- 7/10 The case is pretty high quality, but it tormented me. Seeing Edgeworth in that coat... with those sprites, just like von Karma’s... And that one line... I hated every minute of it. It hurt. The only way it could’ve been worse was if von Karma himself had been there, but that gets saved for Investigations. Mia being there again was fun, though. And Dahlia... Wow. Lots going on there. That ending was... a lot. Terry was a creep and I didn’t like him, but watching that... Yeah. Yeah. And Diego did not endear himself to me in the slightest.

Bridge to the Turnabout -- 8/10 Too much Godot. Otherwise, this was a really great case. Playing as Edgeworth was so much fun, and Franziska being there too was incredible, and the whole thing tying up all the loose ends was just... so cool. Admittedly, the case itself made me very sad, but... it was so good. So good. I wanted to kill Godot partway through, though. No one talks to Franziska that way. No one. Plus, his whole stupid attitude about Mia... Yeah, I hated his guts, that’s for sure. It also had the scene that I hate (Phoenix needs to fucking learn what PTSD is or I swear to god) but otherwise, very good case.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth

Turnabout Visitor -- 5/10 HELLOOOOOO I was so excited to finally play these games that the whole case is a bit of a blur, but I do remember not really finding it that interesting outside of the whole rush of ‘FUCK YEAH I’M PLAYING INVESTIGATIONS’. Jacques annoyed me. But it’s Investigations. Investigations is cool.

Turnabout Airlines -- 7/10 Okay, first of all, Edgeworth hiding Steel Samurai stuff in a law book is genuinely just the funniest thing ever. But this case was pretty fun! I love that Franziska’s working with Interpol now, good for her! The characters were pretty cool (I really liked Cammy) and I thought a lot of it was pretty funny, too.

The Kidnapped Turnabout -- 6/10 The only reason this gets 6 points is because it introduced Kay Faraday, who is my chaos child that I love dearly, and also Shi-Long Lang, who I have a very complicated relationship with. It switches from love to hate frequently. It also introduced their totally epic theme songs, one of which is now my morning alarm. Otherwise, I really don’t like it that much. The case goes on for too long, and a lot of the characters are pretty annoying. I really hate Lance. I feel bad for Lauren, though. Ernest... Ugh. Ugh. The man makes me want to break things. Every time he mentions von Karma, he inevitably says something that makes my blood boil. And it brings back Wendy Oldbag, which is always bad news, and she was so fucking creepy, and... yeah. I enjoyed seeing Ema again, though! She seemed to be living her best life :)

Turnabout Reminiscence -- 9/10 This case had too much von Karma in it, and the fact that he went and called Edgeworth worthless right to his face made me so angry and upset... But! It is still a very good case! I really like Detective Badd, and Calisto... Calisto is very pretty and fun, but... yeah. Also! Baby Kay! Baby Kay is everything! And the sibling rights, they were everywhere! The case was just full of them! I love Miles and Franziska bickering like regular siblings. I love the scene with the Swiss rolls. I love Franziska getting between him and her dad. Sibling rights are so real.

Turnabout Ablaze -- 6/10 This case was pretty eventful. Not a favorite by any means, but still good. I thought it was a little too long, though, and the ending just really felt like it was dragging out too much. It got to the point that I wasn’t even fired up anymore, I was just kind of trying to get it all over with. Also, whether he meant it or not, Lang accusing Franziska of murder made me mad. But some of the twists were cool, even if I figured out most of them ahead of time... Also, Edgeworth getting really mad about Larry playing the Steel Samurai was hilarious, in a mean way. I felt a little bit bad for laughing.

Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth: Prosecutor’s Path

Turnabout Target -- 4/10 This one was kinda boring, to be honest. I liked seeing Shelly de Killer again, though, with his matching ice cream cone. And I liked Nicole. (I bet I know who her first mentor was...)

The Imprisoned Turnabout -- 5/10 This one also kinda bored me, unfortunately. Raymond ticked me off from basically the moment he walked onscreen, because sure, let’s blame Edgeworth for [checks notes] ah yes, being manipulated by Manfred von Karma since he was nine. Let’s do that. Nothing wrong with that at all. /dripping sarcasm Sebastian also ticked me off at first, but I’m warming up to him. Also, I was in love at first sight with Justine Courtney. [heart eyes] I am not embarrassed in the slightest to admit to it. She is amazing. Simon is really funny and I think it would’ve been hilarious if he was actually evil, but he was innocent, so... My blood ran cold when I found out the Berry Big Circus was involved, but thank god, it was only Regina. No Franziska yet. I’m really hoping Franziska will show up.

The Inherited Turnabout -- 8/10 I haven’t finished this one yet, but so far, I’ve been enjoying it, even if it torments me with sadness and anger. Once again, von Karma shortens my lifespan, but Gregory Edgeworth lengthens it. (I think it’s really funny that they got ProZD to voice him.) Raymond... I still don’t like Raymond. Though his eating the paper is funny. Also! Also! Katherine Hall! This game introduced two women in a row that I have absolutely fallen for, and I have zero complaints about this. They are incredible. Sebastian is really funny in this one and like I said I am really warming up to him. Yeah. That’s all I really have to say so far. Still no sign of Franziska...

I’m definitely excited to see where the other cases in this game will take me, and after that it will be time for Apollo Justice! I am looking forward to finally meeting the famous Klavier Gavin... But I am not at all looking forward to meeting Kristoph... Oh, well. I’ll live. Probably.

Thank you for reading all of this, haha! I have a lot of thoughts... Many thoughts head full (of Ace Attorney).

[downtroddendeity]

oh good lord they have a Steel Samurai knockoff that rips off the theme song

I bet as soon as she heard it, Maya started making plans to steal Edgeworth’s cell phone and change his ringtone to that as a prank as soon as she got back to Japanifornia.
