sell me on one of your favourite ships. your choice

First of all curse my brain for being so dumb, I received this ask and immediately thought. i don't know what ships I like. Brain empty. I have never consumed any media ever. I literally had to go through my pic folders to check what media I love and what ships exist.

ANYWAYS.

I do have. This one ship I'm really really into. But it's also BIG SPOILERS for The Great Ace Attorney (both games) so. Spoilers under the cut.

Alright so. In the Great Ace Attorney, you play as Ryuunosuke Naruhoudo, a young japanese student who ends up becoming a lawyer by some twist of fate.

At the start of the game, you are very quickly introduced to Ryuunosuke's best friend, Kazuma Asougi.

Kazuma is... kind of perfect. He's handsome, nice, level-headed, clever, very good in the courtroom despite still only being a student himself, and overall kind of badass. He's also very ambitious and has a strong sense of justice, and he claims that he wishes to change the justice system. Him and Ryuunosuke seem very close, and you can tell Ryuunosuke really looks up to him.

So, when Kazuma is chosen to go to London to participate in a student exchange between Japan and Great Britain, he immediately asks Ryuunosuke to accompany him and help him with something there, and Ryuunosuke barerly even hesitates before accepting. He promises he will help Kazuma with whatever this "mission" is.

Except Kazuma never makes it to London. He dies in a tragic accident during the steamship travel. Ryuunosuke takes up his sword (Karuma, a sword that was passed down for generations and a symbol of the Asougi family's pride and honor), his lawyer badge, and his mission, despite not knowing what it even was (indeed, Kazuma never had the time to tell him, in the end, what it was he wished to do in London).

With the help and moral support of Kazuma's former judiciary assistant, Susato, (as well as a number of other characters) Ryuunosuke quickly learns the ways of the courtroom and wins a number of cases in London, slowly uncovering uncomfortable truths about the english judiciary system.

Until, finally, it is revealed that Kazuma never died. But in lieu of a warm reunion, Ryuunosuke and Susato only get more questions about what happened, as Kazuma quickly brushes off their concerns and instead announces that he will be facing Ryuunosuke in court as a prosecutor in the next trial. He's acting kind of aloof and... different.

In court, he is efficient and ruthless. Ryuunosuke manages to stand his ground, but Kazuma seems to have a personal grudge against the defendant and it sounds like he's determined to get a guilty verdict. Through multiple cross-examinations, Ryuuonosuke starts getting a good picture of what's going on. Kazuma is here to avenge the memory of his late father, Genshin Asougi, who was condemned in a dreadful case of serial killing 10 years ago in London, as he was himself participating in a student exchange between the two nations (parallels, parallels). Kazuma is persuaded that the defendant of this case is not only responsible for the one murder they are currently investigating, but is also the actual serial killer of this old case, and used Genshin Asougi as a scapegoat.

And this is when everything starts to unravel before our eyes. As the trial goes on and more things are uncovered, as Kazuma learns how wrong he was and how much more horrible the whole story is, he starts getting angrier and pushing back harder and more carelessly.

The image of the perfect, cool-headed lawyer shatters as we learn Kazuma not only lied to the court (and to his closest friends, Ryuunosuke and Susato), but was even implicated in an assassination attempt, in which he broke off the tip of Karuma, his family's sword.

That's a strong symbol. He was so ruthless in his pursuit of revenge that he has betrayed his family's and his own ideals of justice and honor.

He never was the man Ryuunosuke idolized. Behind the mask, he's always been just a heartbroken boy, mourning his father, angry at the english judiciary system for condemning his innocent father to death and tarnishing his memory thus. His noble claims of wanting to change the judiciary system stained by his vengeful anger.

In the end, despite all his skill as a lawyer, Kazuma is too blinded by his own rage, and when he finally breaks down in the middle of the courtroom, it is Ryuunosuke who pushes through and manages to bring light to the entire case, and clear the name of Genshin Asougi.

Ryuunosuke, who came to London to honour Kazuma's memory and will, who bore his sword and his badge, who became a lawyer only because he wanted to do right by his dead friend. At each step of his journey, he was thinking of Kazuma. And in the end, he accomplished Kazuma's mission, as he promised he would, without even knowing what it was until the very end. Not only that but he bested Kazuma, by beating him fair and square in the courtroom and by demonstrating his true ideal of justice, the research of absolute truth, untainted by anger or feelings of revenge.

It was a long exposition but the reason why I love this ship so much (romantically or plaotnically, both are incredibly good) is because of the story and themes surrounding it. They took the trope of the role model that the protagonist tries to emulate/catch up to and completely turned it on its head. The person Ryuunosuke was chasing after was always just a ghost, and while this is a tragic and hurtful truth, it's nothing in the face of their bond. This trial does not break Ryuunosuke's trust in Kazuma, but it also fully reinstates Kazuma's trust in Ryuunosuke. After having kept so many things hidden from him, he can finally completely open up to him.

After the trial is concluded, Kazuma gives Karuma to Ryuunosuke because he's too ashamed to keep it. He literally entrusts his broken pride to him!! Not only that but the sword is also referred to as Kazuma's soul several times in the games. Imagine giving your soul for your best friend to keep while you go and recontruct your broken self. How fucking romantic is that!!

They cross swords in front of the rising sun before going their separate paths, Ryuunosuke going back to Japan, taking up Kazuma's old dream of changing the japanese judicial system, while Kazuma stays in Britain to right his wrongs and become a better attorney.

They make me so emotional.

Well, there you go. I hope this wasn't too long but most importantly I hope this was convincing as to why this is a good fucking ship.

(I really recommend the games, btw, but also there's this cool video essay that goes into more detail about Kazuma's character.)

So after a grad-school induced dry spell of writing no fic, I have written again (my last proper fic writing occurred December of 2018)!

And I re-emerge with Great Ace Attorney (Dai Gyakutan Saiban) Sherlock Holmes/Yujin Mikotoba because I love the games version of Holmes and his partner!

So please enjoy my version of how a visiting Japanese student of forensic pathology and a genius-idiot consulting detective become a crime-fighting duo and fall in love.
