The Eternal Shipping Wars of Ace Attorney [Objection.lol]

- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- I put way too much effort into this stupid thing, but I hope that there's at least one person who would enjoy my piece of idiotic indulgence.
The title of this video was supposed to be "Turnabout Shipping Wars", but someone already made a video with that name.
Made with www.Objection.lol
Hey everyone, who is watching or has watched this video
First, I want to thank you all for all the positive feedback this video has gotten. To be honest I'm a bit overwhelmed it them and the amount of comments. I sadly can't react to all of them, but I want to make clear that I really appreciate it.
Regarding the follow up video, I have planned to make more Objection.lol videos, but I won't start working with the sequel to this video yet. This video was already a behemoth to work on and I'm not aiming to make the sequel as long or even longer than this one (if that's actually going to be the case, let's see :)). In the meantime, I'm planning to work on a smaller video starring characters from the Investigation games and I hope that it will be just as enjoyable to watch. During the holiday I have a bit more spare time and I hope that I can start with the project soon.
Back to the sequel, I'm planning to address Phoenix x Franziska (I wasn't even aware of this ship until I've finished this video), R34, troll ships, and a few popular OG trilogy ships not involving Phoenix. The problem with them would likely be that many of them are less evidence-based and more relying on "gut feelings", which would make it difficult to find arguments for or against them, but I'll try to find a solution to this. If you have any suggestions or resources, feel free to let me know (I'm especially interested in reasoning for the ships, because, despite making a twenty-minute video about it, I'm not really much of a shipper).
Again, many thanks for your support and see you next video!
Franziska OTP
I do hope you'll one day take the time to make a sequel focusing on the ships of Apollo Justice. Especially since Phoenix (in his now much older state mind you) would probably get a kick out of it at Apollo's expense.
the ship mia and phoenix is stupid. godot would beat his ass if he found out
first of all, i loved ur video!!! and seeing edgewirth himself having a troll ship (obviously bc he doesnt wanna admit he loves phoenix 🥰) was hilarious!! every other ship made sense!! fjebfue
now as for ships not involving poenix, we have gumshoe x edeworth, edgeworth x franziska, edgeworth x maya, maya x franziska.... for troll ships there is the Old Granny and Edgeworth too. and i guess both edge and phoenix have a larry ship too?
dont get me started on the ot3's and polyships...
anyway, hope this was of help!

Canon Ace Attorney facts:
1. Phoenix Wright canonically called a parrot to testify.
2. In Apollo Justice, a blind person was accused of murder. (Although they were faking, they were still considered “blind” at the time charges were pressed.)
3. The whole franchise would have literally never happened if Gregory, Edgeworth’s father, had taken the stairs.
Correction about the third fact:
The whole franchise would never happened if Dover wasn't an asshole with Gustavia during the cook contest
Wait I'm confused why wouldn't a blind person be capable of murder?

The Ace Attorney shipping community is a pathway to abilities some may consider to be…unnatural.
What kind of abilities did they have?
I'd say one of shippers primary abilities would be making weird ships which makes no sense at all sometimes.
Is it possible to learn this power?
@LeGameHen no never from a normal person. A normal person cannot withstand such power.
@gatsup135 mondata my advice stay a normal person, great power bring great responsibilities.
I think it would’ve been hilarious if after Mia’s rant, she shipped him with Larry Butz
“But, if I had to choose someone to ship him with, it would probably be Larry Butz. What? I think it’s cute!”
She would probably call him harry
Would've been even more hilarious if she shipped him with Gumshoe. 'he does give Nick evidence that he shouldn't.'

Mia really hit the nail in the coffin there. Even if the Gallery didn't feel satisfied with her answer, what she said was true. The sad thing is sometimes it's because of shipping and OTPs that people drop out of fandoms. And this isn't just with AA mind you; It goes for any fandom. Toxic air caused by arguments and hate can really kill the mood and enthusiasm of fans regarding a show. Please keep this in mind in the future and be safe on the internet! :D

Inaccurate, Maya is the biggest NaruMitsu shipper. C'mon, she called Edge' Phoenix's number one fanboy, made Narumitsu comics, called their duo 'Team Edgewright' (another common ship name for them), told Trucy that Phoenix's favourite food is RED APPLES with FRILLS on them, and he eats them like he's eating his opponent!

Which betrays the possibility that he actually is.

@@happyjellycatsquid he's already more than happy that Phoenix is shipped with 76 years old man 😂
Maya really ships Nick with a dead girl, wow
To be fair shipping is all fanon anyway, nothing is stopping people from making an AU where she lives. Plus they do have decent chemistry, if not for her death I can see them getting together
I mean she can channel her. It'd be a hassle but if she put in the grind she could make it work.
Really love the fact that it wasn't an argument. Like, they said that they didn't like each other that way and all, but at no point did someone say that she's dead and that it would be a problem for a potential relationship x)

@@mlgwolvesmeep So tsundere behavior
I love that the judge says NaruMitsu is the best ship 😂
I always had a feeling he shipped it lol
He been watching their trials since day one, he probably made bets with others about them.
I like Phoenix with Edgeworth or Iris. He has such strong sibling energy with both of the Fey sisters that it almost feels wrong to ship it.
I agree on the sibling energy, especially with Maya. It feels so wrong to me to even imagine Maya x Phoenix as I feel like they would also both be horrified and grossed out at the thought. At most, I can imagine Maya having a crush on Phoenix when they first met but then she a) grows up and b) sees the tension between him and Edgeworth. I love the Maya and Franziska ship or aroace Maya once she’s in the DD era. This was such a funny video but I spent the whole time going “MYSTIC Maya” 😂
Although the game seems to ship Maya and Phoenix, but I think Iris and Phoenix has more chemistry

I didn't even watch this but you already deserve a like for the thumbnail. SIMPle but effective.
nice one
The best thing about this...
It actually looks like something that would happen canonically
I love the record scratch when Maya said what Phoenix said about Mia more than I should
It's usually very difficult for me to be into a fanfiction because the characters often don't have the same vibe as in the original and it creates a dissonance I can't get past of. The characters in your video have exactly the same vibe as the original, and I find that absolutely amazing !
what mia said was very based, that’s why i hope they never canonize a ship, it would ruin people’s fun.
but the AUDACITY to say there’s no NaruMitsu evidence is insulting. on ao3, someone wrote an entire essay on it and it’s goddamn beautiful. you don’t have to ship it but you will damn well not say it’s unfounded. the work is titled “Evidence is Everything: A Comprehensive Essay on NaruMitsu” and it’s by sophie_inthesky. you can even avoid spoilers because the evidence is separated by the games, cases, the anime, and other media.
Personally, I tried reading the essay you mentionned but it's obvious the writer is very biased, which is my main problem with this ship. The fandom seems to go to extreme lengths to find romance where there is none.
"In terms of Narumitsu, ‘unnecessary feelings’ looks startlingly like a love confession out of context- but in reality, the context only makes it more romantic."
Take this line for example. 'Unnecessary feelings' is the line that is the most misunderstood in my opinion. Unnecessary feelings does not mean love, especially in this context. Phoenix defeated Edgeworth twice, breaking everything Manfred taught him and potentially making him feel like a disappointment. The author mentions this by saying that Edgeworth had trouble coping with his first loss. Let's remember that Edgeworth is not an inherently bad person, moreso it's the years of exposure to Manfred's techniques and love for victory/perfect streaks that turned him into the "demon-prosecutor". Edgeworth always wanted to fight for the truth, like his father, and seeing Phoenix succeed where he failed only added to the shame and anger Edgeworth must've been feeling from his previous loss. Change doesn't happen suddenly, so it's obvious that Edgeworth suddenly fighting for Phoenix took quite the toll on him as well, making him confused about what to do next or how he has done his job as a prosecutor so far.
THIS is the context. And with it, all romantic notion is lost. Unnecessary feelings can relate to shame, disappointment, anger, sadness, regret and more. Not love or romantic feelings (if anything, it goes completely against Edgeworth's character during the time he said this line).
I'm not saying you can't ship NaruMitsu, if anything, I encourage it if you like or love the ship. Do what makes you happy and don't let others dictate what you can or can't like. However, I'm not a fan of it (very far from it even) and I just wish more people understood that not everything said by the characters has a romantic undertone. It saddens me that some characters are completely misunderstood since from a writer's perspective, I would hate seeing the characters I worked hard to bring to life be this bludgeoned by the community.
@@TheFestiveHoovy I completely agree with you, that's just what I thought, sure I didn't go that deep, but really, that's the overall meaning, this explanation is basically the best for anyone who can't understand the meaning of the line.
But just asking from curiosity, what did you mean by the characters you created? Are you maybe a Capcom employee or something?
@@Sammy1432YT No no lmao-
I meant, if I was one of the writers at Capcom, I would be sad to see my characters be misunderstood (bludgeoned was too hardcore of a word, my bad for that). I'm a writer, and usually, writing characters is very personal and where I put most of my efforts. If my work were to be destroyed by people making their own interpretation of my characters 'canon' (because I've seen so many saying NaruMitsu is canon when it's not, they never got together in the games), I would be sad, especially if romance was not the message I was trying to convey with a character's growth.
My god I'm sorry for the rant, I just really love making characters and talking about it. Thank you for being respectful of my comment, I find it a bit too harsh for my liking now that I'm rereading it
@@TheFestiveHoovy I agree 100%. On my first playthrough I thougt Edgeworth meant anger as an unnecessary feeling -I didn't see anything romantic in that line. Narumitsu fans base they arguments mostly on that line which can be interpret in many ways which is kinda dumb. (Of course I don't hate people who ship it)
@@mayyanna444additionally, is "unnecessary feelings" the same in Japanese? We're debating the meaning of a translated, localised game after all. For the true authorial intent, we'd have to be fluent enough in Japanese to understand it, a language which as I understand is very context-heavy, requiring markedly more reader input to decipher the meaning of a sentence than English, and this is one singular line in an entire novel, easy for a localiser to not think of all the ways it could be interpreted by the western audience. But additionally, I have heard on the internet something or other about it being inspired by Boys Love novels? Perhaps even in original Japanese, the line was intentionally vague and readable in multiple ways to suggest interpretable BL undertones.
If AA ends in the first game, id say NaruMitsu is the best
If AA ends in the second game then id say NaruMaya is obvious
If AA ends in the third game maybe Feeris wud be the final answer
But the truth is this series has gone too far, Phoenix became hobo, forgot everything about Iris, stayed away from Maya and Miles for 7 years and now a happy single father, so it seems argueing over ships is meaningless now LOL
There's hints that he's still in touch with Maya and Edgeworth during the 7 years, like in AA4 there's an absolute pile of steel samurai and nickel samurai dvds in his hospital room and he says there's a "kid" who keeps trying to get him to watch them. AA5 outright says Edgeworth goes to Trucy's magic shows and used to take them on vacations to Europe during the 7 years.
Ships will always be argued about but so long as everyone realizes that there's no way any of them will ever be canon because Capcom would lose money, it becomes clear there's no reason to get angry about the ships and just enjoy them on an individual basis.
@@rebellemuria Boom. There you have it folks. We shouldn't really hate on people's ships and the shippers itself, although if the pairing may be questionable, we can indulge in stating that part without sounding angry or mean; as well as insulting the ship
You may ask them why they ship the characters together so you can understand the reason why.
There is nothing wrong with thinking that either 2 or more characters look cute together, or not agreeing on the pair. Just remember to respect peoples' preferences! Have a nice day 😊
i actually disagree about feenris cuz like, even if phoenix does say "you were always the person i thought you were." it doesn't change the fact that iris brings up some... bad memories. neither does it change the fact that iris was deceiving phoenix for years, or the fact that she is a criminal that helped dispose of maya's mother's body.
plus, there were a ton of narumayo and narumitsu moments in that game, especially narumayo, ngl. but hey, i have my opinion and you have yours, its all just a matter of perspective at the end of the day. i respect all ships as long as they're... worthy of respect.
@@daileeedunno Oh, I don't disagree, I even think there's a reason it feels like Iris kinda dropped out of consideration even as soon as AA4.
Iris feels like college Phoenix's very first "A GIRL LOOKED AT ME" experience. It's just how he acts about it. He talks about how she knitted him shirts and made him mini omelettes, at the same time she kept asking him to give him back her necklace in a way that probably always felt to Phoenix like she was trying to pull back from their relationship. It actually feels like even if they both had calm passive personalities and might have worked that way they didn't actually communicate that well, and that's shown by the sheer nuclear level secret she was keeping from him. Maybe after that cleared up it would have been better, and she is one of Phoenix's few romantic interests who seems like her life could've meshed well with his work and interests, but ultimately I think all the circumstances at the time of her confession in 3-5 worked against it. Like she's off to jail for a while because of her charges for obstructing justice and desecrating a corpse, and Phoenix loses his job right after. Even if she got out pretty soon (depending on the state I see about 1-5 years), and even though she says she doesn't really want to be a nun her whole life so she might have been willing to move in with him in the city, I don't think they would have been able to make ends meet, so they'd break up. And if she's still in jail, life has kinda moved on, you know?
There's also some official manga that suggests Phoenix actually was traumatized by the Dahlia thing, and even if the manga aren't really all that canon, we also have the way he reacts to seeing Iris in that magazine. Everyone around him interprets it as interest but the internal dialogue for Phoenix in the game really reads more like panic.
I think the ship is fine, it's nice to see that they might have worked out after all those years, and if it did they'd be pretty soft and fluffy as a ship. So I see why people like it, but, yeah, I think I also understand why the games probably won't address it.
@@daileeedunnotechnically there is nothing bad with what You said but that Last Part sounded like You where pretty full of yourself sorry had to get it off my chest.
Defending my ship on the internet feels like "you-need-to-touch-grass" behavior but I'll do it anyway. Phoenix and Iris are established to be exes. I'll give them that. But we have to also admit that people who ship Edgeworth and Phoenix aren't just delusional.
There's an ace attorney musical where Phoenix was given a female love interest, yet they literally gave Edgeworth's backstory to her instead. Just shows that their history together can pass off as romantic buildup.
Don't even get me started with one of the designers/writers being a BL artist. She obviously knew what she was doing, so you can't blame people for reading too much into things.
I know there will be so many people saying "just ship what you like" or "it doesn't have to be canon" but ugh I just notice that it's mostly slash ships that get this treatment, I'm seriously wondering if there'd be this much debate if Edgeworth was a woman.
I agree. Heck this video mentioned just the “unnecessary feelings line” and when discussing about the reason about why Phoenix became a defense attorney, the class trial just gives more points to Wrightworth in my book, and yes Mia inspired Phoenix, but I guess it needs to be reminded that right after that trial he talks about how he needs to pass the bar exams as soon as possible because “there’s a friend that iI absolutely need to help, and if I hurry, I might be able to save him in time”.
Also like, can we remember how Edgeworth took a private jet in the middle on the night in order to visit Phoenix at the ospital, as soon as he heard he had an accident? Or how he risked his caraeer and credibility when he took Nick’s badge and acted as a defense lawyer in court to do him a favor? Or how he busted his ass off to make so that Phoenix could get his badge back and go to court again?
And I could go on but... “baseless” my ass xD
@@rebecca_rh There's also Iris talking to Edgeworth in 3-5 and saying that she can tell that they "share the same secret." Iris' secret is that she still has feelings for Phoenix...
Honestly my take is Maya has an on-and off crush on Phoenix in between calling him old and stealing Franziska's "little brother" line to tease him, and both Iris and Edgeworth have feelings, but Phoenix has some long term trauma where he represses any romantic feelings he might have for anyone. So he rarely ever actually responds, and if he does it's usually unintentional so he walks it back, or he doesn't fully realize what he just said, or he was agreeing with something to just go along with whatever is happening.
@@rebecca_rh lol yeah I saw people saying Edgeworth isn't the only reason he became an attorney, but because of Mia too. Iris and Phoenix met in a library where he was reading law books, so he was already considering the career change. He saw Mia as the ideal role model, so of course he thought working under her would help him meet Edgeworth quick.
Also in the Investigations spin-off, Phoenix never appears yet Edgeworth just keeps on thinking about him, "that man"^tm and how he shines so brightly in his eyes. lol. Like bro I get thinking about his best friend doesn't *really* mean that he loves phoenix. Then in that case, why does Phoenix never mention Iris again in later games? Does he not care for her? Of course not, there's always a chance he still does. Then does Edgeworth just really, really care about Phoenix? Yes. Obviously.
What I only agree about in this video is that the Judge ships them, cuz he has to see narumitsu's banter all the time, he certainly has seen it all, he isn't even phased when Phoenix calls Edgeworth daddy.
@@kyubeyincubator5779 EXACTLY ahaha

@@rebellemuria yes, i think the same, that’s why is also a mega long slowburn xD
I realllly love the placement of blue badger theme at the end, funny as hell
phoenix ruined the judge's fanfiction lmao
Despite her passing...I still think Mia and Phoenix could've worked out in some way if they had kept her alive.
I agree, it makes the most sense to me, besides Iris. They have the warmest relationships with him. They're both different from Maya's and hit home differently than her. To me it's a similar situation to Mia's with Diego/Godot. She couldn't have him for very long before Dahlia poisoned him and left him out of commission for years making her decide to move on, and Phoenix couldn't have Mia at all thanks to Redd White ending her when she barely started training him, not even so much as a celebratory meal/drink. Neither option for best ending in Ace Attorney was meant to be.
huh? Wouldn’t Mia be waiting for Diego, her actual boyfriend to come out of his coma?
@@AstraRGB not even boyfriend. He was/is her fiancée

@@KenDaKingArrives She was waiting for him to wake up the whole time and even said that she “settled the score” for him while visiting him at the hospital in the anime
The whole gallery literally being Twitter is what made me laugh so hard at this.
Superb work with making this man.
Personally, I see Phoenix and Edgeworth is the most logical if we’re going by the events of the game. I can see why people think Maya, but I do want to remind the chat that she was a MINOR when she met Phoenix. Mia would definitely be a heavy contender if Mia wasn’t dead.
Phoenix x Edgeworth and Phoenix x Iris are the most likely options just objectively.
And he's only been confirmed to have ever had a relationship with one of them.
Yeah, I'm really uncomfortable with Phoenix and Maya together because even once she turn 18, Maya still talks about wanting to become an adult. It just feels like they're at completely different stages in life.
Its like she is his little Sister, I cant imagine they in a relationship, that would be weird af-
Stop it, everyone knows that the best ship is Godot and Mia
DeLite, Garrideb, and Vigil couples are possible contenders.
Oh please, how could you forget about Grossberg and his hemorrhoids! The one true pairing!
Obviously yeah
OBJECTION
We all know the best ship is obviously Godot x Dark Coffee
Bitter and dark, but still, tasty
No, it's Diego and Mia.

"Wright only makes that fact when his back is pressed against the wall"
“Y-yes daddy…”

13:58 Phoenix really is a true man of culture
I love this video and also it's a rare video that acknoledges that while Wrightworth is a cute ship that one can believe in, calling it canon is DEFINITELY reaching
It’s definitely not 100% canon, but I wouldn’t say calling it canon is “definitely reaching”
Ngl I think Wrightworth is in a grey area. It’s not quite canon, but not quite fanon either.
@@thatryebread well I think it has evidence but I call it reaching cause the evidence isn't sufficient to prove canonicity to the level many claim. Not to mention alternative ships that people have that have evidence for. I feel like both major ships for Phoenix are perfectly valid.
@@megarotom1590 Same
That part where Maya said Nick wanted to suffocate in Mia's... err... body part that you'd be thinking about was just hilarious for the vinyl sound effect that happens.
This is how I got introduced to the AA fandom. Thank you.
Okay, but the judge isnt wrong there. Maya did explicitly describe her sister as hot, while asserting nicks mourning and melancholy (which maya also indulges in) was out of love.
this was so nice actually. it made me think of what if they actually had knowledge of the shipping community considering them. it's really funny
Great. Honestly, though, I wouldn't have been able to help myself to have the final witness support any or all of the ships after the sppech. Before just leaving.
Ace attorney shipping community is the most chaotic fanbase I have ever experienced. I regret taking part in it :/
@Mr.CChaach wrightworth vs narumayo lol
Pearl is too precious for this world.
Imagine this trial in the Supreme Court

That actually works on some level, ngl.
That is like Ash finding out Professor Oak is banging his mom.
Everyone who's ever dated her has been murdered.
Then again, you could have Trucy get framed for his murder, and then have Maya channel his spirit to make sure that somebody defends his daughter. Maybe Pearl gets in on the action, and channels another dead lawyer (Gregory Edgeworth, Mia Fey, Durke Sadmadhi - take your pick) to support him at the bench. The first one would be the best if Miles were the prosecutor - and, given how his childhood friend had just been killed, it's a safe bet that Edgeworth would be on the warpath.
Make sure to include lines like "OBJECTION! Your honor, I was murdered, not disbarred! Therefore I still have the right to practice law!" and "What's wrong, Miles? You look like you've seen a ghost!"
Honestly, that would be the best ending to the Ace Attorney franchise. Phonex Wright, channeled by Maya, solves his own murder and saves his daughter.
The dialogue is so in-character !!
I'm honestly shocked that I found this video just now despite being quite the fan of the Ace Attorney series for a long while, this video's actually really, really funny and I enjoyed every second of it
Him just walking out was the best solution. Him and Iris would be the closest canonical pairing, him and Mia could work if she didn't have a comatose boyfriend she was waiting on. And him plus Maya could work in the later games only in lieu of there being no other stable girl for him to date near his age at that point in the series.(Seriously though, Iris just disappears from the series for no reason)
I am... .SO HAPPY that someone FINALLY critically analysed the whole Narumitsu twisted tales. Seriously guys, can we not just accept that alternatives are possible? It really is difficult sometimes to be in the fandom with people pretending certain ships are canonical when they absolutely are not. Also, Edgeworth's character here is so on point I can't even.... THANK YOU.
So true!
Yeah... I like Wrightworth but I know it's not canon, nor am I going to force anyone to believe it's the one true AA ship either.
Pearl: The World's #1 Naru/Mayo shipper
This would later go on to be known as the shipping defense, commonly used to waste time and derail normal proceedings.
I'm legit surprised there's very few spin offs in this series, and I think with how good the artwork is of this series,a dating sim on the side isn't the worst thing, maybe with a whole different cast of people in the city that has little to do with the lawyer side of stuff outside a cameo of wright and co. Offices and maybe take a wallet to a police station to give to meekins or gumshoe lol
I can imagine Dahlia haunting Phoenix like a poultergeist just like in this video, it would be the funniest thing ever XD
I believe that his honour should get a life and realise his 1,937,396,393,739,387,948 grandkids don't actually care about him
You know what? I am very satisfied with the ending. I was worried that it was gonna turn out to be another NaruMitsu video where most of the characters are into NaruMitsu and quarrels with characters who don’t ship the same ship they like (except for Pearl).
*The end with Wright simply disappearing fucking killed me*
Wow, I must have dementia! Ive already watched this! 😊😊😊
i absolutely love how the judge is totally in this 🤣
Everyone is so in character!! Excellent lol vid. I'm experiencing AA withdrawal and this is soothing
Dahlia hates Phoenix, Edgeworth is Phoenix's friend, Mia is the mentor that he admires so much and Maya and he have a best friend relationship.
Fans see romance where there is none.
I accept this, I headcanon the judge to enjoy stuff like shipping and watching anime when he's not working
The true OTP is *Edgeworth × Cutting Gumshoe's salary*
When I heard the Blue Badger’s theme at the very end, I suddenly remembered Dick, and it got my hopes up for Wright x Gumshoe; before I remembered Dick, I had been thinking about Butz, Godot, and Gant, for some reason, but I definitely thought Mia was going to say Wright x Godot.
It also wasn’t until I finished writing that last sentence that I even remembered that Franziska von Karma even existed; gods, I’m a mess.
Pov: your the victim watching this "discussion" from heaven
Mia being the most…I don’t know what to say. I feel like a lot of people could really learn from Mia wether be it shipping canon and non-canon ships in any sort of media to respect other people’s ships and create awesome fanfic and fan art! I mean that is the point of shipping. I think we’ve all seen a shipping war once or twice before *shudder*
I was scared Edgeworth was going to say “I think Wright and Butz is a sensible ship”, or Gumshoe was going to pop in and say that. (Or Larry himself)
5:02 honestly that's my first impression of Maya at first as everything else looked japan-iforic, yet if she was a time traveling girl from the past or some other parallel earth, I'd believe it 😅
If pearl went off like that in court The Judge would most certainly just forget the trial and start arguing points with her before Edgeworth snaps him back to reality. Hell maybe that has happened, I havent played them all yet.
By Maya's own criteria, Franziska is a good match for Nick as well.
Whoever the f*ck came up with phoenix and the judge... i fear them
Someone seems to have forgot about Godot...
LMAO
this feels like a callout to everyone fighting each other with their ships, and i love it
this is actually amazing wow I can almost imagine Mia saying that
I will stand for Phoenix/Iris until the day I die.
This was gold. I need a part 2
TRUTHworth
Phoenix x wacky hijinks
Edgeworth x his job
Maya x burgers
Wow, what a saga! ❤
Edgeworth you troll!
13:58 OH MY GOD, THAT IS A LITTLE TOO MUCH MAYA
Based off what Lor3_sp@ce says..
its obvious what the OTP is.
Godot x Coffee.
My guy, nobody tried to ship Wright with Franziska
Anyone who thinks Phoenix x Edgeworth is not the best and most popular ship in the whole series is a f00l in my eyes.
i thought u said wrightworth shippers are fools i was bout to 😭
Maybe the real ships were the friends we made along the way
So.. are we just gonna glide over the fact that someone sued an eight-year-old..? 😭😭
I literally have a dilemma.
I love Phoenix x Maya. But i also love Maya x Franziska. But i also love Phoenix x Edgeworth. THINKING ABOUT CHOOSING ONE OF THEM DRIVES ME CRAZY, BECAUSE I LOVE ALL OF THEM. And i also like Iris x Phoenix. This one had the most probabilities of being canon, buuut Iris stopped appearing in the games.
Welcome to multishipper hell, enjoy your stay.
bro the age gap between phoenix and maya is awful???? wasn’t she 17 the first time they met?? and he was also 24 at the time,that is a 7 year age gap,but i understand if you meant you ship them in souls of justice
@@antagonistorvillain What?! You saying a guy's gotta marry someone the same age of himself, Pal?
-Detective in charge , Gumshoe
@@LackSun depending on the age tbh
@@antagonistorvillain my mom and dad has 6 years age gap while some of my friend parent have 10 so to me it doesnt matter the age gap as long their a mature adult (not 15 years age gap tho)
