I donât think some people realize how messed up Phoenix was when he was Beanix, his life quite literally fell apart after disbarment. He most likely shut a lot of people out when he first got disbarred. And given that heâs now a father, that mustâve been his only reason why he pulled himself together, for Trucy. She was his light.
But I think this man had no problem of dying, like, he felt so lost during this era that he probably had nothing to live for anymore (besides trying his best to take care of Trucy) He wouldnât really do anything on purpose to kill himself, but if he was going to die to causes âout of his controlâ heâd let it happen.
When Phoenix got hit by a car, he didnât even try to run. He just stood there, looking at the flash of light before his eyes. It was like a deer in headlights.
Phoenix wasnât the greatest father either, itâs most likely that he struggled parenting Trucy. He even took her to his poker tournaments at the ripe age of 8 or 9 to cheat so that he could stay unbeatable for the next 7 years. Who knows what kind of people theyâve encountered? Thatâs genuinely messed up for a child to see and itâs not really touched on the fact on how Trucy was affected by this.
This isnât canon information, Iâm just assuming & filling in gaps âŹïž
I think in a year or two after his disbarment, I think some people in Phoenixâs life started helping him out. Like he started letting only certain people back into his life after shutting everyone out. (Maya, Pearl, and even Edgeworth.) (Maybe Larry? Idk about him.)
(Iâm not sure who would have been there, but I think Edgeworth was there for him the most since itâs been implied, while Maya & Pearls have been busy with their training, and Larry, well idk about him. Iâve only played up to aa5 so idk much about aa6 yet. So I havenât really seen Larry since the first trilogy.)
Anyway, I think Edgeworth was there for Phoenix the most, just like how Phoenix was there for him.
Phoenix stated that he traveled to Europe before to help a friend with âlegal troublesâ and Iâm pretty sure this said friend was Edgeworth. I like to think that Edgeworth did not want Phoenix to stray too far from the legal world. After all, he was falsely accused and paid the price with something he did not deserve. I think when Phoenix was helping with âlegal troublesâ they were probably working on the M.A.S.O.N. system, and the whole jurist thing while stacking evidence against Kristoph through his beanie with that recording video camera hiding behind his pin.
As for Maya & Pearl, he probably didnât see them that often due to their training. He probably visited Kurain Village every few times with Trucy to hangout, or sleepover for a while. They werenât really mentioned since the first trilogy (besides Pearls making an appearance in aa5) so I guess with Pearl being here in aa5, indicates that they havenât lost full contact since Phoenixâs disbarment. But he probably stopped visiting as often when Maya & Pearl when to Khurâain (I think thatâs the country name in aa6???)
As for Larry, he either was there for him and would force Phoenix to go out since he probably didnât that often, or he wasnât there at all. All I know is that Larry appears in the aa6 DLC, and Iâm not too sure when was the last time have these two seen eachother.
Well anyway, I really love aa4 and I wish theyâve written it better and showed more of how much Phoenixâs âBeanix Eraâ affected him after gaining his badge back. Because during aa4 he was like this whole new person, he built a personality to hide himself. But when he got his badge back itâs like a regained his past self, but Beanix remained to be engraved in Phoenix.
For example, his âmysterious spriteâ never left, or like the time where Phoenix wanted to investigate the scene when he got the chance before the police arrive during turnabout academy. That implies that he still doesnât fully trust the police & the detectives. He probably grew to resent the legal world during his disbarment, and that probably sorta stuck with him. (This also took place during the dark age of the law, so anything could have happened.)
Yâknow, Phoenix definitely had his own way of coping during disbarment. He got addicted to grape juice (which most people interpreted it to be alcohol, but I still prefer it to be grape juice.) He probably drank grape juice to forget his pain. You can tell that he gets detached sometimes just by looking at him.
Phoenix definitely had so much going on but hid it all inside just so Trucy wonât see it, just so nobody, not a single soul could see. He didnât want to show this side to anyone & how much pain heâs in, but I believe Trucy, and other significant people in his life managed to get a glimpse of it.
Well anyway, thatâs all Iâve got to say! (For now..)
I hope you enjoyed reading!
