the ways capcom could address phoenix & edgeworth’s relationship in ace attorney 7, scored by how funny I think it would be
narumitsu becomes fully, explicitly canon, and everything is tastefully done: this would honestly be pretty monumental especially as a legacy game franchise coming from Japan, but it would be more touching than funny. 5/10
narumitsu becomes fully, explicitly canon, but it’s written blandly/offensively: as much as it sucks to see characters flanderized and mischaracterized in their own official media, it would be kinda hilarious if they did it with these two. like what if all of sudden edgeworth is a stereotypical fag and they have him queening out. what if they change their designs to fit an exaggerated seme/uke dynamic. maybe one of them gets killed off. 7/10
both phoenix and edgeworth have wedding rings added to their models but they don’t address it at all. no mention of marriage to each other but they don’t mention being married to anyone else either. 6/7
they pair phoenix and/or edgeworth up with random women. like how they gave sidon a wife in totk. fuck your yaoi. the fujos would be livid 9/10
phoenix and edgeworth are in a horrible awful love triangle because they’re both in love with the same woman. it would be sooooo full of second-hand embarrassment and miserable to watch. if you get a game over edgeworth steals your woman in the middle of trial. 1000/10 I would lose my mind
the same scenario as above but the woman in question is maya. 0/10 GET HER OUT OF THERE!!!!!
phoenix and edgeworth aren’t together but they’re both still bachelors. maybe there’s another time skip and they’re in their 40s and still unmarried, which could mean anything. they still talk to/about each other Like That. They’re in constant orbit around each other and they can’t live their lives without each other, because they’re :) such good friends. is it queerbait or is it just that the writers truly don’t realize how homoerotic it’s coming across? you’ll never know. classic. 10/10
