Thinking About Aa1 Era Edgeworth

This is great and I'll have it in mind when i finally play the apollo games

What are Ace Attorney Characters like in the original Japanese Version?

mxearthling asked me:

hello!! i found your AA “pronoun” and honorifc post in the tag and it was really interesting!! i was wondering if you could expand on blackquill, edgeworth, and klavier in particular when it comes to how they refer to themselves/what others call them? i am INSANELY curious.

This is an interesting Question I got a while back. Now that I’ve replayed some of the games AND am playing Spirit of Justice I feel more up to try and answer it. That said, I am going to go through all Ace Attorney main characters, meaning Defense Lawyers, Detectives, Assistants and Prosecutors, and will give you a profile of how they were written in Japanese, comparing it a little to the original. 

This post might be edited when I realize I misremembered something or learn something new.

That said, let’s go!

Currently on this list:

Phoenix Wright

Mia Fey

Maya Fey

Miles Edgeworth

Dick Gumshoe

Pearl Fey

Franziska Von Karma

Ema Skye

Kay Faraday

Apollo Justice

Trucy Wright

Athena Cykes

Klavier Gavin

Simon Blackquill

Phoenix Wright

Japanese Name: 成歩堂龍一(Naruhodô Ryûichi)

Japanese Name Meaning: “Naruhodô” is a pun on “Naruhodo”, a Japanese phrase akin to the English phrase “I see(what you mean).” “Ryûichi” means “Dragon”, and the ending of the name indicates that he was the firstborn son of his family. This “Dragon” is presumably what served as the inspiration for naming him “Phoenix” in the English localization. 

Refers to himself as: “Boku”, a rather soft-sounding way for men to say “I”, albeit it’s still less formal than “Watashi” would be. This makes me sound younger than a professional who would be using “Watashi”, since older men tend to prefer “Watashi” in their work life. While we’re at “Boku”, contrary to what you may have heard, women *do* use it veeeeeery rarely, albeit women using this in real life are usually seen as eccentric and odd. It’s more common for women to use it in poetic writing, though. In any case, Phoenix’ “Boku” is written in Hiragana, indicating that it sounds especially soft, hinting at his generally mild-mannered personality. 

Referred to by the Textboxes as: “Naruhodo”, with a short “o”, openly acknowledging the pun.

Referred to by others as: Maya, Pearl and Mia call him “Naruhodo-kun”, with the short “o”. Trials and Tribulations indicates that Phoenix tried to stop Mia from constantly cutting off the “O” in the end of his name, but she never did, so the punny nickname stuck. Larry and Edgeworth both call him by his last name, “Naruhodô”, without a honorific, which is common among male friends. Apollo and Athena correctly refer to him as “Naruhodô-san” (with the long “O”). Trucy calls him “Papa”, which explains the writing on his beanie. The Judge calls him “Naruhodô-kun”. Blackquil calls him “Naru-no-ji”.

His Speech-style: Somewhat casual, he does sound like a pretty typical, mild-mannered young man, using less polite forms when talking to Maya and more polite forms when talking to certain witnesses or the Judge. He uses the very common, polite “Desu-Masu” forms (which most people in Japan use when they’re talking to anyone other than their closest friends and family) a lot more frequently than a lot of other characters in the series.

Notes: Probably the character who carried over best in the translation. His averageness definitely helped.

I have to read this comic 🤣

Why did no one tell me there was an official gravity falls comic?

It’s some good extra canon-ish content

Te quiero señor que hace el lenguaje de signos 😂

The sign language interpreter was feeling it.

Choose your way

I know I promised Jon but he is being... Difficult... I will ended up doing him death at this pace, but in the meantime I have done the conquerers.

I have decided to put them in kinda roman clothes, being Aegon the type of clothes roman Caesars are shown in statues, Rhaenys more of an roman novelwoman with some Athens references and Visenya is Sparta.

Am I risking the post because of nipple Visenya? Yes, Am I going to censor it? No

Also I belive that the only thing aegon gifted his descendants is the ability of looking young forever in true twink fashion.

Maybe I will continue doing these some time.

Angsty

I do raise from my slumber to say that I am obsessed with genshin.

Ah! And I drew Kaeya.

In honor of Gojo doing the unboxing, I did gojo art.

"Loki" as classic Marvel comic book covers!

Sorry for the bad english but here is a video that is both full of memes and explains why you should boycott eurovision this year.

It's as easy as not watching it through the official internet broadcast nor from the television channel's that emit it. (So either not watching or seeing it through unofficial means).

Not participating in the televoting and not buying merch.

And not commenting it on the internet or at least not with tags
