More than he already does? >_>

Why haven't I posted in this thread yet? Geez, where to start.

I actually had Edgeworth pinned down as the "Oh God not another bishi rival" early on, but the change of personality you get to witness in the span of a single game is truly remarkable, and a feat that hasn't really been replicated since. I'm still hoping that Klavier the replacement sex object will get his own depth in the new arc, but it will never match up to the evolution that Edgeworth had undertaken.

It always puzzled me that Edgeworth feels the compulsion to disappear for long stretches of time. One wonders what his life overseas is like, away from the lovable main cast of AA.

I have to confess, the fact I had the guy pinned as a "another bishi rival" did not stop me from liking him. He turned out to be pragmatically stoic and business-oriented, and 1-4/1-5 cemented him as mislead, rather than mishandled. He's his own man, and could definitely do well on his own. Even during and after his period of soul-searching, he very much has the attitude of someone who is confident and sure of their place in the world, if not the path of their life. His distinct, unboisterous air does him credit.

Naturally, I fangasmed over him even harder when I discovered a sort of avatar to shunt these emotions onto: Ema Skye. She's still in love with science in AJ, but what about Edgeworth...

They could totally make a spinoff game based on that alone. I'm really curious to see that myself.

As for why he disappears, well the first time was because he had to do some soul-searching, so that makes sense. Sometimes you need to figure things out on your own without interference from other people. Maybe after JFA, he found his calling overseas so he just continued his work in Europe. Just because he's part of the main cast doesn't mean he should always live in the same location as them, ne? :edgy:

Speaking of Ema, I believe there was one point in the game where she was complaining about Klavier being too flashy and stuff, saying that's not how prosecutors should act. She said they should be professional and dignified. I wonder if she was thinking about Edgey when she said that? xD

:yuusaku: Edgeworth totally isn't bishi. Being the subject of fangasms =/= bishi.

"bishonen - A Japanese word meaning "beautiful boy" or "pretty boy". Bishonen is used when referencing Japanese dramas that include boys (and young men) who carry that young and almost baby-ish look - to the point where they're actually "pretty" and don't carry the masculine and/or distinguished look most people would expect in a male." -http://www.groinkcaps.com/glossary.html


Edgey's attractive, but he isn't 'beautiful' or 'pretty', and he definitely doesn't fit the 'young and almost baby-ish look'. He does look masculine and distinguished; that's part of his character.

After AA, Edgeworth went into hiding (presumably overseas) to discover who he was and what justice is. He obviously kept in touch with Gumshoe, who we can assume was sworn to secrecy.

After JFA, Edgeworth is busy becoming "#1 at the DA's office". According to his profile in 3-5, he had prosecuted in five countries and was studying foreign law systems. Unless we assume that the five countries he prosecuted in were all English-/German-speaking countries, he probably was spending a long time studying languages too.

He was also busy commandeering private jets.

There is a topic about Edgeworth being gay or GAY in the Defendant's Lobby. I don't want debates of is Edgeworth gay or not gay in this thread. It's only to discuss why you like Edgey and things about Edgey, etc. I just want to spread the Edgey love, I don't want gay or not gay rants in here :larry:

Also, take your pairing arguments to the debate thread. Sorry for being rude, but that's where it belongs.

Edgeworth, in Turnabout Goodbyes, didn't want Phoenix to be his lawyer because he didn't want Phoenix to find out about DL-6, which included the murder of

Spoiler:
Gregory Edgeworth, his father. But at the end of the trial, when Phoenix exposed Von Karma as the killer, poor Edgey was suprised because he thought he was the killer all along. Yes, Edgey thought he killed his own dad :larry:

I think you ought to post a big fat rule in the first post about not having any pairing debates. Edgeworth-ships will inevitably appear in discussion, but there are already threads for talking about that (unfortunately, one is a battleground, and the other is gay). If anything, any shipping discussion that takes place here needs to have a positive tone focused on the appreciation of the many-faceted character that is Miles Edgeworth.

I personally thought Ema's design was a little tribute to the many Edgeworth fangirls that had accumulated. Actually, 1-5 in its entirety was a great followup to 1-4: we get to see a little bit of Edgeworth in his post-trauma mode, and he's still every bit as composed and calculating. The eventual outcome of the case, in my mind, gives evidence that Edgeworth has little reason to blame himself: the people around him and the system can sometimes be untrustworthy, and his faith in the judicial system may be shaken, though his faith in himself does not have to be. He's actually not very emo if one considers it like such.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

I still find it interesting that both Ema and Miles went abroad at around the same time. There's a definite possibility of crossing paths, and if there is a side story exploring Miles' career abroad, who else would be a better, cuter, smarter legal assistant?

I like the fact that he's not just another pretty boy. There are so many of those in anime and games now that I think lots of people forgot that masculine-looking guys can be quite attractive too. Actually it's one of the things I like about the PW games lol.

He really isn't all that emo actually. I know people like to poke fun at it, but he actually is a pretty strong character. He doesn't dwell on his past or feel sorry for himself at all. It's always about taking pride in his work and surprisingly, helping those he cares about. I thought he actually dealt with the crap thrown at him in the story pretty well considering the circumstances. Tragic past =/= emo.

"GavinnersRock" - I agree and sorry it got to this point when we're discussing Edgey sexual orientation (again...)
He worth more than this... I feel like Capcom put too much effort on creating him and they did such a great job it'd be a shame if all, us fans, could talk about is how hot he is and how Bishi he is (There is a huge place for this too, but, He's Edgey... There's more)

About his appearance I do would like to say I think he's a bishi but, for a bishi he's quite manly.
In the 3rd game, when you get to play him, lots of characters talk about how attractive he is.
I think he is an emo, but, a repressed one.
I don't think he got to a point that he's feeling whole and good about himself. He still feels a little shame about his emotions, he got too much pride and trying to keep up with standards that aren't really there.... Von Karma really f**ked him up. I really want to give him an a platonic hug. He needs to understand he's being loved and stop running away all the time!

(The thing that amaze me the most is that I can really say all those stuff on a video-game character! I know I already said it but, there isn't anything like that.)

Okay, I won't press the issue of Edgey's sexuality any more than I have (I was more trying to mention it in passing... I guess I failed).

But OT, I love how proud he is. That's one of the the things that makes him so fun to make fun of, and so fun to laugh at when other characters make fun of him. There were so many precious moments in 3-5, like when Larry was telling Gumshoe about how Edgey sucked at making paper cranes when he was a kid ( :edgeworth: "I will never forget the shame of that day!") and when he goes to be emo in the garden ( :phoenix: "Poor Edgeworth... he's probably sitting in the corner of the garden crying.")

I think there was that one time where Edgey was sipping tea all depressed in the prosecutor's office. I can definately see him doing that, lol. (Poor guy...) Either that, or Gumshoe was making fun of him.

The one thing I love about him most is that little smile he sneaks in. It's the cutest thing on the planet, and every time he does, it makes me love him even more. I can't bring myself to make fun of him, though. It is pretty funny when the other characters do, but part of me dies inside when they do. I just realized I'm a pathetic little fangirl.

On that note, was Miles "mentored" or "adopted" by Manfred von Karma following DL-6?

You should check the Gregory Edgeworth + Misty Fey thread. Though it's all useless conjecture, the theories make a lot of sense, and provides at least somewhat of a satisfying answer.

I think Miles was "adopted" AND "mentored" by Karma. After Gregory's death, Edgey had no one, as far as we know. Miles also thinks of Franny as a little sister. Daddy was an attorney, as you know. And Miles wanted to be one for the longest time and follow in his footsteps. But when DL-6 occured, and living arrangements were changed, and Karma corrupted Miles. Why else would Miles become a prosecutor instead? He learned his ways from Manfred, and took from it what he wanted. Miles was a part of the von Karma family, though not directly related by bloodline, of course. Though he did not bear same the last name, by the end of 2-4, Franny comments on how much he's changed and says that he isnt worthy anymore of carrying the 'von Karma' name. [theoretically]

The one thing I can't understand is why Edgey went with Manfred. After all, it was Manfred's doing in DL-6 that destroyed everything.

Edgeworth knew nothing about the truth about DL-6 at the time, and remember that Manfred disappeared for a month after the incident took place (and before the trial commenced, I would imagine). Then he swooped in and rescued Miles from Child Services :D

Oh yeah... you've got a point. He wouldn't have suspected anything.. That makes sense, because now I remember that Edgey thought he killed his own father.

But Miles was there at the trial just before the incident with his dad... and I thought that was when Gregory blew Karma's 'perfect' win record. I remember Grossberg saying so. And that was the reason why he took the vacation. I don't think Edgey was stupid enough to see that. As far as the accidental shooting of the bullet in his shoulder goes, and the deliberate killing in the elevator, that was just an added reason for Karma to disappear which Edgey didn't know anything about.

I'm still confused.

And I think Edgey had a slight case of co-dependency. When Gregory was still alive, Edgey looked up to his father. Depended on him for everything, because like I said before, his father was all he had. He moved schools so much that he couldn't really have deep friendships. And then once Karma took over, Edgey looked up to him as well and was heavily influenced as we all know. Now that I think about it, :adrian: reminds me a lot of Edgey.

I think in a sense you're right. He was able to see right through Adrian's facade in 2-4, and knew how to deal with it, maybe because he was aware of the danger it could present for the case. What everyone saw as cold-hearted and cruel, he knew to be the only way to get through to her. He might've seen it develop in Franziska in a way too while they were growing up, let alone himself.

Everyone has a weakness. Edgey's a smart guy. He can see through things like that. When someone goes through a traumatic experience, they definately see things a lot differently. How they think things 'really are'. Not some cotton-candy, dancing with toothbrushes, kinda lifestyle. Lol, now that I say that, I see that Regina is Edgey's EXACT OPPOSITE. And to add, ^^ Franny clearly misses her dad, and I see where you were going with that one. Definately.

But seriously. There's something tearing away at every one of us. It's more obvious in some cases than others, but we all deal with it at some point at our lives.

I think the only thing common between Edgey and Adrian is the post-trauma behavior and nothing else. I don't think they're alike in anyway.
I also couldn't possibly see Edgey with Franziska because of couple of reasons:

1. They grow up together in the same family like brother and sister. They even got brothers jealousy-competition thing going on there and last until the last time the appeared when they were both all grown-up. That is just how much Manfred f**ked them-up.
2. Franziska (Sorry to say it but, I don't like her enough to call her "Franny") is way too much like her father. There is something not completely sane with their family. She is very attached to him, act and think similar. I really hope Edgey wouldn't have that easy time forgiving and forgetting all the s**t Manfred put him through. He is a very strong man just to still be able to treat Franziska like his little sister instead of cutting any connection he has to this f**ked-up family.

Manfred probably was a horrible "father" to Edgey. He'd probably get mad at him just for reminding him of Gregory and little Edgey was too cute and naive to realize what Von Karma is doing to him. (He probably was even much more sensitive back then) He tried really hard to win this horrible man's love and that's how he became the f**ked up grown man he is now.

Poor Edgey...

I always wonder how Edgey lives with the Von Karmas...I had a thought that Manfred gave him a nice room and treated him not too badly...

That's another thing that confused me. Where did the von Karmas live? Where did Miles live when he was with them? Franziska clearly grew up in Germany, did Manfred have his estate there? Did he bring Miles with him there? Or was Miles raised in America? This is important because it dictates how much contact Miles and Phoenix would've had growing up. It makes sense for Phoenix to be concerned for his friend if he gets to see the transformation over the years, but my first impression from the games was that Miles had for all intents and purposes disappeared from Phoenix's life.

From the sounds of it, Fanfiction needs to come to the rescue, but anyway.

From what I gathered in the First game, Edgey Disappeared right after the DL-6 incident, and in that time Phoenix wondered about him when he didn't come back to school the next year, but, the incident when they were kids had helped to push Phoenix into the law direction, and more importantly, when Phoenix heard of Edgeworth's Debute he tried to get in touch with him, and failed to get a reply, from there, he decided to become a defence attorney, as far as his Choice in mentor, that could have been dumb luck, since in T&T he didn't seem to know about Mia's First case, so drawing a connection would be hard.

I always thought that Miles had come to Germany with the von Karmas. +shrugs+ He was about 9 when DL-6 occured, right? That means Franziska had been around 3 years old then. And she became a prosecutor in Germany when she was 13. So I just figured she stayed here all the time.

Spoiler: Off-topic rambling about the name "von Karma" that has absolutely nothing to do with Edgey
You know, yesterday, while replaying 2-3, I suddenly wondered: how do English speaking people pronounce "von Karma"? Since it's a German name, it has to be "fonn karma". Now I wondered - do you guys pronounce it "wonn karma"? [/babbling in sleepless mode]

I won't discuss the pairing aspect since this isn't the thread for that. I will share my viewpoints about their relationship though:
shira_mish wrote:
1. They grow up together in the same family like brother and sister. They even got brothers jealousy-competition thing going on there and last until the last time the appeared when they were both all grown-up. That is just how much Manfred f**ked them-up.


Just because they were raised to be competitive as children doesn't necessarily mean they can't care for each other either. I thought it was pretty apparent in such instances like:
- how she left her perfect record in Germany to search for Edgeworth after he disappeared. Yes, she did say she also had a goal to defeat Phoenix, but she clearly stated that even when Phoenix thought for sure he was dead, she knew for sure he wasn't.
- when Franziska got shot and Edgeworth showed up at the clinic all concerned and worried
- the airport scene at the end of the game.
- in T&T, Franziska flew all the way from Europe because Edgeworth asked her for help. She didn't know at that point that she would be going up against him, so she wasn't driven by rivalry.
- when that earthquake occurred on Hazakurain, she seemed just as concerned for Edgeworth's well-being as Phoenix.

As to how these facts describe the nature of their relationship, it's hard to say. All I can imagine is that.. the Von Karma household is NOT a normal family structure. That much we can be sure. Everything else can be left to fanfiction.

2. Franziska is way too much like her father. There is something not completely sane with their family. She is very attached to him, act and think similar. I really hope Edgey wouldn't have that easy time forgiving and forgetting all the s**t Manfred put him through. He is a very strong man just to still be able to treat Franziska like his little sister instead of cutting any connection he has to this f**ked-up family.


Franziska may have started out like her father at the beginning of JFA, but she went through massive changes by the end of even 2-4. She was just shot and barely out of the hospital when Edgeworth asked her to get the evidence from Gumshoe. She didn't have to help, she wouldn't have gained any for her record because of it. If Manfred were in that position, I would suspect he wouldn't do that. In T&T she revealed a more caring side to a lot of different people (Bikini, Pearl, Phoenix, Edgeworth, Maya), almost to the point of OOC. It just shows that she is very capable of breaking away from her father's teaching, and she's proven that she's in the process of trying. There's still little snippets of her old self left, like when she told Phoenix she's been in Europe extending her perfect record (seemingly blocking out her defeats by Phoenix), but it doesn't seem to hold the same meaning as when she talks about her perfect record in JFA.

In my head canon, I thought Franziska and Edgeworth were the only bits of humanity they had with each other while they were growing up. Perhaps Franziska WOULD have grown up to be just like her father if Edgeworth wasn't there, and maybe the same for Edgeworth. Hopefully... I'll get around to writing a fanfic or making a video about this stuff lol. It's been bugging me for a while.

Edgeworth did give her that little speech that had to do with finding her own path, rather than following his (or her father's) shadow. It's nice that in T&T she seemed very capable of doing just that.

Edgeworth will save everyone!

As has been mentioned before, try to keep Edgeworth 'ships out of this thread. That being said, I would just like to point out that a romantic relationship between Franny and Miles is highly improbable due to something called the Westermarck effect.
Wikipedia wrote:
Westermarck effect and its opposite

Anthropologist Edvard Westermarck found that children who are brought up together as siblings are desensitized to form sexual attraction later in life. This is known as the Westermarck Effect. It can be seen in biological and adoptive families, but also in other situations where children are brought up in close contact, such as the Israeli kibbutz system and the Chinese Shim-pua marriage.

The opposite phenomenon, when relatives do fall in love, is known as genetic sexual attraction. This can occur between siblings brought up apart from each other, for example, adoptees who are re-united in adulthood.


---

And back OT, I think that Miles was raised by von Karma in Germany. It's clear that he was raised alongside Franziska, and I'm pretty sure it says that case 2-2 is Franziska's first time in America. I also never imagined von Karma acting as a father figure to Miles; they don't even use the term 'adopted' or 'fostered' in the games. von Karma was his mentor and teacher, but beyond that they probably didn't have a very close relationship.

My fanon is that Miles, in his own mind, rebelled against the thought of having a father besides Gregory. I always liked to think that the reason he prosecuted his first case in America at age twenty was because he didn't want anyone (especially not von Karma) to be his father longer than his real father was. I had the impression that Edgeworth had cut ties with the von Karmas, until he covered for Fran in 2-4.

kristophlover967: Awesome sig! Maybe change the font, though? B/c it's really bold and harsh, somewhat out of place.

I'm playing through 1-5 again, and I'm loving how
a) Knights with sharp-edged swords were surrounding a pawn with spiky hair on Edgey's chessboard
b) I just noticed how often Edgeworth comes to Phoenix's rescue. I thought he'd only seen the light in 2-4, but apparently, the change had begun back in AA.
c) The way Edgeworth bounces off the two new characters - Gant & Ema. He deals very well with Gant's commanding attitude, subtly dropping biting comments during the trial. As for Ema, he seems to deal very well with her fangirlness, and is rather good-humored (i.e. - Ema: This room obviously belongs to some stuck-up idiot! *time passes* Edgey: Really? I was under the impression that I was a "stuck-up idiot" *smirk*.)
d) Phoenix: Look! Is that Detective Gumshoe out the window? He's falling! Oh, no, he's going to die! Edgeworth, look!
Edgeworth: One second, first let me see what this girl is doing crawling around my feet!

I can imagine Miles being the kind of kid who played with action-figures a lot, and I fangasm just thinking how that might have carried into adulthood. I really can see him, alone in his office, picking up a knight and a pawn, swinging them around, and going, "Pew-pew! Take that!" and in a different voice saying, "No, Edgeworth! Have mercy!"

I betcha Gumshoe knows.

If I'm not mistaken, Ema was also dissing his "garish-looking car". xD And I LOVED d). Edgey is such a hilarous smartass.

QFT. I knew all along that there was a little kid inside him that he was supressing all this time. He was forced to grow up quickly, so it definately makes sense. LOL, :eh?:

@ serpensortia - thanks for the compliment! About the text though, I thought it looked good bolded like that. IDK, I'm weird.

I had thought Miles moved to Germany as well after DL-6... it only makes sense. And according to his bio on CR, he was definately taken in by von Karma and we all know that Franny and Miles had a close relationship.
