If I had a nickel for every time a lawyer from a visual novel existed who:
Is morally confusing, which you are supposed to hate at the beginning of the game, but near the end, you can understand their pain and struggles,
Has experience in both the defense attorney and prosecutor fields,
Is evidently wealthy while other characters are known to struggle financially,
Starts off as a snarky, posh, thorn-in-one's-side character, but I'm 99% sure we all called them "sweet, baby boy" near the end of the game,
Indirectly aids an artist-at-heart protagonist who in turn deals with a woman named Maya,
Never had a "true" childhood, so they enjoy some childish things at their age (etc. having a water fight at a beach or avidly watching children's shows),
Unknowingly work under the madman who murdered their closest family member with a gun, who simply killed for their pride/ego,
Is most likely/definitely gay,
I'd have two nickels... which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Anyway, happy birthday Fujieda~
And happy localization for your two games, Edgeworth~
