So what, he's from D4 or something? Oh god no, that'd be awful. XD

Edgeworth moved to Germany when he was younger, and when your exposed to a certain accent for a long time, you almost always develope that accent yourself. In this case, why didn't he have a German accent?
However if you move somewhere new it takes a few years to develop that accent and over time you start to sound more and more like a person from whatever place you now live in.
My theory? Californian accents combined with German accents make British accents.
Nothing.

Generally students abroad are taught to speak English with a British accent. And if he spoke English beforehand, with either a British or an American accent, he would most likely pick up English much more easily and he would avoid speaking English with a German accent. And even if he GOT a German accent, his normal accent from when he was younger would probably kick back into gear once he stayed in an English speaking country for a bit
(Generally children who grew up with one dialect, but then switch dialects later in life, are able to regain that accent by staying in an area where the original dialect is spoken. I actually grew up with a British accent, then lost it around age 9 when I moved from England to Canada. I'm very sure I'd pick it up really quickly though if I went back to the UK - though I'd probably come out of it sounding more mid-atlantic than British...)
TLDR; He previously learned English (at least a little) before moving to Germany, making it more likely that he didn't learn to speak with a German accent when attending school. And schools in Europe teach British engilsh - ergo, that's where Edgy could have caught his accent :V
(I hope this makes at least one iota of sense...)

But it could be that he dresses a lot like the characters from Pride and Prejudice. If you start comparing Edgey and Mr. Darcy, they both dress in the same way (minus coloring), both act awkwardly when it comes to showing emotions and so on.

Just watch that clip (Colin Firth as Darcy) and you know there are a lot of similarities between him and our beloved Edgey!

I'm not a fan of british accents - or scottish accents or any accent that appears in Great Britain, Scotlands, Wales or any other on that continent above Germany. It doesn't sound good to me, it doesn't sound sexy or interesting or funny in any way.
And especially with my dislike for British Accents, I would never imagine or think Edgeworth would have a british accent or be british. Also, drinking tea isn't anything especially british. I drink tea sometimes. Drinking tea with milk in it, now that's british... apparently, from what I know of having to prepare tea-with-milk for some people. But as far as we know, Edgeworth doesn't drink tea with milk. It's likely that Edgeworth maybe went to various countries to study their juridical systems and maybe picked up a habit... but that still doesn't make him british...

I completely agree with you. Apart from disliking British accents, I quite like mine. Also, there's the fact that there isn't a set "British accent" here, so I'm not sure exactly which one you're referring to.
Drinking tea with milk is normal here. It didn't know it wasn't elsewhere...
Anyway, I don't believe he is British. There's near to nothing that supports this theory and it's more likely that he's just a well spoken American. Maybe picking up accents from other places.

Doesn't really matter to me which British Accent someone may have, I find them all a bit nerve-grating. I used to like a Glasgow accent, but grew out of that. My mom's boyfriend has a scottish accent (previous one was also a Scot) and it is sort of nice to hear him say a few things, but overall.... nah, any kind of british accent is not one I really like.
Complete opposite on the spectrum, I love a Kansai accent. I don't know many other Japanese accents, but the Kansai one just really appeals to me somehow...

You can't say that as every person has their own personal preference on pretty much everything. Some people prefer girls with higher pitched voices, others prefer them with a deeper voice. Same with accents. What sounds great to someone may sound terrible to someone else.

Since Edgeworth was raised by Von Karma and therefor probably lived in Germany, he would probably go to Britain often and drink British tea.

Not a very decent theory. After all, what would von Karma care about Britain in any way? It's not perfect. I forget, but I think it was mentioned that von Karma left Germany around the time Franziska was born? It's likely that Edgeworth went to Germany, probably study the German Law System, but just because you live in Germany doesn't mean that you go to Britain very often.
I've lived in Germany for (almost) 23 years now and only time I was ever in Britain was the Heathrow Airport to get to America.

Not all people are like that here in Britain. In fact, very few people are. Edgeworth acting like this does NOT mean he is British. He has his likes and dislikes, it does not mean anything, and I fail to see how it automatically makes him British.

Trust me, I know. I'm half British, and I've been multiple times. I was saying that it's a stereotype. Like how black people are all gangsters, even though that isn't really true. He just has a very British stereotype, which along with his British sounding voice, makes people think of him as a British person. I even said he WASN'T British.
