Why don't people realize, Edgeworth is Asexual! He has been shown to not be attracted to women, however he's never been shown attracted to men, either! He's based quite a bit on Sherlock Holmes, especially in the GK games. Sherlock Holmes is asexual, Edgeworth is, too! Sorry to break your shipfics, but Edgeworth wouldn't have sexual relations with anyone, male or female.

Do you have proof? I don't really see similar to Holmes-->Holmes is asexual-->Edgeworth is asexual as proof

And Nearavex, I don't read fanfiction but I am a RhodaxEdgeworth shipper. I think out of every character in the series, she's probably the most realistic choice for him. He enjoys his personal space and I feel like as a flight attendant, she's know her limits when it comes to Edgeworth and could be courteous, eventually developing into something more comfortable

I don't have a problem with Edgeworth being gay, but I don't know why so many fans are adamant about it. It's already canon that Phoenix and Gumshoe are straight. He won't be in a relationship with either of them. Unless they're shipping he and Lang, I don't see a reason to be adamant about a headcanon that won't develop into a relationship with anybody

In 3-4, Edgeworth is shown to be completely immune to Dahlia Hawthorne's charm, while every other man that ever met her was instantly wrapped around her little finger.

Seme or uke?

Funny, since back a long while ago when I was searching around for yaoi (and yuri, but that's another story) doujins for the heck of it, I stumbled upon plenty more of Nick being in the dominant position than otherwise. Granted, maybe it's because yaoi artists like drawing Edgey in a submissive position. Being the pretty boy of the main cast does that to him.

Besides, Mia may seem as feminine as any woman would be, but she's also as masculine as a man would be too. The only one who could possible subdue her is Diego.

I understand this thread is predominantly for m/m slash, but do we have another for f/f stuff? I'd think so, but I can't find it.

Yeah, that's exactly why I find it so difficult to imagine him in a relationship - he's extremely unlikely to take the initiative if in-character.

Actually, still having trouble imagining him in a relationship at all - I just try to think how he would exactly behave, treat his romantic partner and I come up blank.

Would he be just stoic? Still, it wouldn't make sense if he treated his living person coldly... But I can't exactly picture him being romantic either.

He'd probably be endearingly super awkward about the whole thing. Like, "What am I doing? What am I supposed to be doing?" and just letting Phoenix his partner handle evetything.

No, Pierre. I didn't. The reason I mentioned subtext in the very first place was not because it's the grounds on which I base my guess of Edgeworth's sexuality or lack thereof (as I said, I think of him as asexual), but because I've noticed that I have a harder time imagining him, if attracted to people, being drawn to women than to men, and I theorized that this may be because there are lines in the games I think could be interpreted as suggesting there's romantic feelings and/or attraction between Edgeworth and Phoenix, by which I'm not saying that I personally think there is, just that I see the possibility.


The only thing I said that comes close of being "look it's obvious" was that I said that "you can't really deny there is subtext". By that I'm not saying I expect everyone to notice it or think anything of it, but upon being presented with it in the perspective of romantic/sexual subtext, regardless of how you interpret it yourself, the possiblity to read it in that way is there I believe. Never did I claim that this interpretation is correct, just that I see where those who ship them are coming from, because when I played the games I figured people would see their relationships as such.


Sierra argued that subtext can be seen between pretty much everyone, to which I replied that NaruMitsu subtext is pretty much the only I've noticed myself, and that's probably why I subconsciously (?) has gotten the impression of him being gay if I'd have to guess his sexuality besides asexual. I didn't use the subtext as proving he's gay, but as a possible reason of why I think he'd be drawn to men rather than women.

So has anyone seen that doujin where someone photoshopped the Steel Samurai over all the dicks? I think it was AJ-era Wrightworth.

Haaahahaha. Nope.

It'll have to be really good to top Phoenix's objectionpenis, though. (Pun perhaps intended.)

..-Snackoos above poster-"the heck is that?"

I still stand by my idea that Edgeworth is asexual. It's my headcanon, and I refuse to believe that he's anything else. He never ever acts attracted to any guys ever. He never says anything to suggest that he's gay, people like to take quotes he says way out of context and warp them to think that he's gay. I usually hate shipping that doesn't have any canon basis towards it, I don't mind PhoenixMaya because there's actually some hints towards that in the games such as Pearl insisting that they're a couple. When it comes to ships that don't have any connection to the established canon, I can't stand those.

That's nice.
So why exactly are you in this thread?

Because when I so much as see the title of this thread in the list of threads, I feel an insane rage build up within me. I hate this sort of stuff that much. People acting as if the only option is for him to be gay make me furious.

Even his suit is gay, hah.

I like that theory. He's clearly hodōsexual.

And with that, ladies and gentlemen, this debate has been settled.
