Spoiler: Klavier/Ema, AJ Spoilers
Personally I see very little room for development when it comes to these two. Perhaps its just they've been in one game and really during AJ we only saw them interact with each other on-screen maybe once or twice. The first time Klavier completely misinformed Ema in 4-3 when he didn't tell her that Lamiroir was the blind one, which in term messed up her entire testimony, when it was his duty as a prosecutor to inform his detectives on things like this. At least Edgeworth would at the very least inform Gumshoe of the things he found out on his own (not counting most of PW:AA and 3-4)

The second time Ema teases him about Kristoph by impersonating his voice. Now that is just a bit rude. It would be more than okay if Kristoph wasn't a convicted felon who was shown to be extremely messed up in the head. But just doing that to him was not polite. Perhaps she was looking for 'revenge' against Kristoph but two wrongs never made a right (yes a right not a wright >3>)

Perhaps the closest thing I see in a relationship between them is maybe a brother to sister type. Klavier especially needs someone to help him out seeing as his brother and best friend turned out to be murdering douches. But romantic- with the way Ema talks about him with such disdain throughout AJ I highly doubt it.

The only one I see Ema wanting to be romantic with is Hobo Phoenix, which I SERIOUSLY DOUBT IS GOING TO HAPPEN! Sorry, but Ema just doesn't seem like the romantic type.

I have to agree with that. Ema and Klavier if anything are like a sibling rivalry, maybe this pairing would have a chance if there were more interaction between them but I guess we have to wait until GS5 to see

I love EdgeworthxPhoenix, I just think it's so cute and I certainly wouldn't call it canon but there are quite a few implications (fangirls call it implications, others call it friendly gestures towards friends).

I've seen a lot of Edgewright fanfics, comics, etc. and I find them anywhere from entertaining to hilarious to adorable. The idea doesn't really appeal to me; I think it's not "realistic." I just wonder where the idea came from, because I didn't catch any hints that they were gay, especially for each other. Not trying to be disrespectful, just stating my opinion.

As much as I can see where the fans of it come from (I'm personally not a fan of the pairing), the statement that it is canon is ridiculous. Every time I've seen someone go on about how much they love the pairing, they mention how much subtext there is. Some even go on to give example of said subtext. That's all fine and dandy, but then again, that's all it is: subtext. No amount of subtext in the world will make a pairing canon. The only thing that can make a pairing canon is concrete evidence.

Yes, it's all subtext. I openly admit this. It's still my OTP and I can see it working deliciously. But one of the lovely things about this game is the ability to see potential chemistry in multiple directions. It's something for everybody.

Well that's the thing nobosy (at least on this thread yet) Is saying it's canon. I really don't think thier's concrete evidence for any of the popular pairings (Besides Deigo/Mia, Ron/Desiree etc) Fan pairings are just what they are, pairings made by fans. The subtext is just the things the fangirls (Like me :larry2: ) Just like to interpret in thier head. Also their mannerisms and personality towards each other also plays a key part in what the fangirls see.

Once Viola finds out the only reason Tigre didn't give two shits about her and only help because he feared the wrath of her grandfather, it goes downhill from there.

That's true and also at the end of the credits when she says she returned the tea set or something and gave her evil little chuckle maybe she poisoned to get back at him (or maybe he'll get an unimaginable rash from beyond the underworld, lol Billy and Mandy anyone?)

Don't believe me? Well here's another example. I find the Phoenix/Edgeworth pairing quite boring, because its just so canon. But pair Phoenix with someone odd like Larry or completely opposite of him like Franziska, all of the sudden, the pairing becomes interesting because it breaks what the game would lead you to believe.

That's just what I've noticed. And if that was just not the issue, the pardon my intrusion.

As far as criticism goes, with any game, humans will err it up, and some hold "their pairings" like possessions. And with any possession, one gets insulted if their possession is deemed inadequate.
Its more of a human nature thing really--no big deal, eh?


Pheonix/Edgeworth isn't canon..

Okay...new pairing time? How about :javado: x :mia:?

Spoiler:
My reasons for loving this pairing is because it's very close to being cannon, and it's just adorable. Like in 3-4, when Diego calls Mia kitten, and helps her out when Terry dies at the end of the trial. Also, in 3-1, Grossberg mentions to Mia when he gives her the Police Report how it "detailed how you came to lose your boyfriend." Diego's name is on the report. So they were boyfriend/girlfriend. Also, if Mia hadn't died, I would have made this pairing my OTP. But it is still awesome. It has #3 on my list of Top 10 pairings. Oh yeah.

There's some interesting debate about that earlier in this thread (don't ask me which page!) Basically it raised the speculation that there is plenty of evidence for Diego x Mia but less for Mia x Diego. I hadn't thought of it that way before but some of the points made sense.. however, Mia x Diego does seem quite strongly implied in 3-1, Mia gets very discomposed by anything reminding her of Diego/poisoning, especially every time Phoenix mentions he is Dahlia's boyfriend etc.

But I agree that there seems to be no Mia x Diego particularly by 3-5. Mia seems to regard the relationship as over, since she is dead, and I get the sense she wants Diego to move on. The fact that he didn't is implied as causing problems.

This thread also has the observation that the Diego-Mia relationship began at 3-4. In hindsight, I totally agree with this theory. [Everything Diego says in 3-5 about what he saw in Mia supports this theory]. It's interesting that the relationship was so short, ~6 months. Just like Feenie/Iris was short, ~6 months. Both relationships both begun and ended by Dahlia's poison. I'm certain that Diego and Iris are each others' symbolic counterparts.

Nick/Edgey is just a crack idea for yaoi lovers, the only friendship thing I can find is their childhood... I mean, they're rivals!

This is how I see Nick/Edgey voters, saying that that is the reason they support it.

If anything, Phoenix is gay for Edgeworth, moreso than the other way around. Phoenix in general is definitely a mushbag. Perhaps it's just a symptom of his being the protagonist, but he seems to show a lot of genuine emotion for various characters.

As far as Edgeworth pairings go, I'm a die-hard Ema/Miles shipper, but there is one thing I would like to see: an Edgeworth pairing where the other character is not blatantly imposing themselves on him and breaking down his well-made barricades. This is a common aspect of all of Edgeworth's relationships (real, potential, and otherwise), since it is so central to his character. Even those "closest" to him are satellites: he disregards Franziska for the most part; even Gumshoe is a constant annoyance; he fails to return much of Phoenix's TLC; and I'll confess, Ema is too sugar-coated for a serious man like Miles.

Both relationships both begun and ended by Dahlia's poison. I'm certain that Diego and Iris are each others' symbolic counterparts.


Spoiler:
But in 3-1, it's only been six months or so since Diego was poisoned. Mia is still visibly hurt by what happened, and even is having problems keeping her composure in court. By the time Mia dies, it's been years. Even if Mia still went to visit Diego in the hospital, she'd be used to him being in the coma, not him being awake and able to have a relationship with her. After she's dead, she wouldn't really want to have a relationship with anyone, I think, because having a relationship is different than seeing her friends and relatives from time to time- Maya or another medium would have to give up a lot of things, including probably a chance for her to have her own relationship, if Mia was to have a relationship with anyone alive. It's not even obvious whether Mia recognized Godot as Diego at first or not. Even if so, Mia loved Diego and not Godot. Here was someone who pretended not to be the man that had loved Mia, but an entirely different person, all for the sake of revenge, and I think that could have repelled Mia. She saw he needed help, but if he was trying to be a whole different person, why would she love this person that wasn't really Diego anymore?

We're seeing Godot, on the other hand, a very short time after he woke up. His body is in poor condition, he can't see without the mask, he's lost five or six years of his life, and Mia is dead. Of course he's going to overreact. He's doing pretty much the same thing Mia did when she lost him- he's trying to bring down the person he blames for her death. The only difference is that Mia understood the situation better, since Dahlia really was responsible for poisoning Diego, while Phoenix was obviously NOT responsible for killing Mia. If Diego had more time to get over the situation, he probably would still love Mia but be able to keep going. They were just at different places at that time, and if Diego is able to emotionally catch up, so to speak, then I think they could be together again once he dies, too. It doesn't seem like he had a long life after the game, too, so Miego could happen again quite soon.

Also, Mia does not seem like she had fallen in love again, or gotten married. (any boyfriends, recent ex-boyfriends, or husbands would have come up in her murder investigation, even if just as "we talked to the boyfriend and he has an alibi" or something. Police usually always investigate the boyfriend/husband first, because they're most likely to be the killer.) My guess on that is that she was just waiting for Diego to wake up even though he probably wasn't going to, so she concentrated her life on other things than romance, like being a good lawyer, and her family and friends. She may have moved on, but I don't think she "moved on" as in that she re-opened the place Diego had in her life.

And now, some thoughts on :franny: and :larry: .

I admit it seems far-fetched, but after thinking about the ending of T&T, I've given these two a lot of thought, and it's actually plausible. However, I find it plausible not in a sparkly, fuzzy, happy, whip-laden escapade of WUV, not at all.

This pairing is possible as one of the most painful and agonizing love stories imaginable. I'll elaborate.

Spoiler: Savin' Space
Larry begins work on Whip-Lash Splash, with Fran as the model for his illustrations. As their work intensifies, Fran allows Larry to move into her mansion with her, and in turn he gives her creative direction on the story itself. The longer they work together, the more attracted they become. (Think Sunset Boulevard, only Fran isn't a crazy old faded silent movie star and Larry really does love her.)

Things heat up, getting downright steamy, and it seems that, with WLS being on the verge of completion and Larry and Fran being very content in each other's company, things would be just fine. But there's a problem.

This fundamental problem stems in the very thing that attracted them to each other in the first place- their vast differences in personality. Larry is a sunny, free-spirited, hapless joker whose talent in art is probably the only thing keeping him from being a total loser. Fran, on the other hand, is a serious, harsh, blunt woman with a successful career as a prosecuting attorney. She begins to expect, and then demand, more out of her lover.

Larry is willing to accommodate her (we all know by now how Butz in love behaves) and bends over backwards trying to please her. Unfortunately, her expectations grow higher and higher, to the point that Larry is choking under the weight of it all. He is a rent man, torn between the woman he loves and being true to who he is. And still, he does everything in his power to make Fran happy, both concerning the literary and artistic direction of their book and his own self.

His once bouncy and enduring spirit all but broken, Larry is left with the most basic of all options- fight or flight. Failure to choose would mean he would surely die, in spirit if not in body by way of total exhaustion.

He would never fight with his beloved Fran, so he packs up his belongings and leaves, leaving behind only the almost-finished WLS, to do with as she pleases.

Finding this and realizing what must've come about, Fran starts packing a bag to follow after him, but even as she does so she knows it's probably futile. Instead of being happy and content with her silly, loving boyfriend, she sought to mold him into something he wasn't. She was blind to his good qualities and his love for her and focused soley on his flaws, and in doing so has probably lost him forever.

Alright, major tl;dr ahead.
Edgeworth x Maya
(this thread is starting to turn into ship manifesto, lol)

Okay. So in GS1, it's pretty obvious that they at least mildly care about each other. At the beginning of 1-4, when Maya and Phoenix go to visit Edgeworth in the detention center, she expresses concern for him, even if he's a rival of her partner. During the trial, just when everything was going to hell, Maya jumped in and grasped around so that Phoenix wouldn't be in contempt of court. Now, she wanted to help Nick, that much is apparent. But she wouldn't have been so desperate if she didn't care about the client. When Phoenix went to check on Maya, Edgeworth told her to watch what she said in court. That's a pretty obvious and lame attempt at keeping himself in character, otherwise he would've looked very strange saying thank you.

So of course, he bails her out. Bail isn't a cheap thing, kids. It's pretty damn expensive. That's more than just a little favor. That's HUGE. He was in no way obligated to do such a thing. He could've let Phoenix post her bail, it would've been no skin off his back.

When Edgeworth disappears into his own little emo world, that's the end of that. But Maya mentions him multiple times in GS2. In GS3, there's not a lot...yeah, there's pretty much nothing. Not even my rabid shipper's imagination can pull anything out of the air.

As for anything that isn't concrete evidence (and there's hardly any), we come to the point of their pasts. . In a way, Edgeworth ruined Maya's life, albeit in a small way. If he hadn't thrown the gun, the bullet wouldn't have struck von Karma, and he wouldn't have shot Gregory, and Gregory wouldn't have to be channelled by her mother, and she wouldn't have been disgraced and run away. (run on sentences ftw)

It's a chain reaction thing, but the big picture is that they can really understand each other in a way nobody else can, you know, that mushy stuff. :P

My parents, being the hopeless romantics that they are, have constantly stressed to me (the one who has no luck in love) that lasting relationships are built upon the following: communication, trust, understanding, and humor. Maybe they're not correct in the long run, but I trust them enough since they were married for fifteen years.

It's hard to tell how exactly Maya and Edgeworth communicate, but I think it'd be positive, tying back into the trust thing. It's clear that they can trust each other, as they've got nothing to hide and they're both generally trustworthy people (er, I'll get back to you on Edgeworth). They're both known to hide things, to put on a charade--Maya with her cheerful disposition, and Edgeworth with his cocky attitude--that they think pleases other people. When they're around each other, they don't need to do this. They can just be themselves. They understand how the other party feels. They can identify with each other, even if not necessarily on the surface.

And you can't tell me that their conversations wouldn't be hilarious. They can angst, but they can also be funny. It has the massive potential to be a well rounded relationship if it isn't already is. Of course, I don't expect anybody to support this or take this little essay seriously. It's just my two cents on the matter.
Ignoring my crack, theory that the reason Maya and Edgeworth didn't show up in AJ was because they eloped together

I'm so alone, the Nick/Maya and Nick/Edgeworth fans ate my soul. D:

yes i know they're half siblings, but they haven't been told that now have they? they've been together for over six months now and it's not a stretch to see them pulling a "koi kaze" or a "luke and leia." and this is what i'm basing my theory on.

unlike :edgeworth: x :franny: (however much i support that pairing as well), trucy and apollo DID NOT grow up together. edgey and franny get cancelled out due to the westermarck effect but this doesn't apply to trucy and appollo (see genetic sexual attraction). unless someone rains on their parade and thalassa or phoenix drops the sibling bomb on them, i can actually see them becoming attrated to each other in the long run.

Edgeworth x Maya


Ah, this one is very cute in theory, but I really don't see it in practice. Still, I do think a higher level friendship than is commonly given credit for is possible or even already happening during the games, sometimes when Edgeworth discusses Maya with Phoenix, it's clear he's had more interaction with her than just the times we see them onscreen.

At the beginning of 1-4, when Maya and Phoenix go to visit Edgeworth in the detention center, she expresses concern for him, even if he's a rival of her partner. During the trial, just when everything was going to hell, Maya jumped in and grasped around so that Phoenix wouldn't be in contempt of court.

Maya starts supporting Edgeworth because Phoenix has already told her that this is his childhood friend and he wants to help him out. So she's doing it for Phoenix [and also, because she feels sorry for Edgeworth, but we can't really use it as shipping 'evidence' because she's supporting Phoenix's endevour as much as Edgeworth.] Same with the contempt of court. She wants to help Edgeworth, but more because this is Phoenix's career mission rather than just 'affection' for Edgeworth. Edgeworth expresses his thanks in his difficult way, but wouldn't any reasonable person be grateful to someone for saving their life in that manner?

I see definite mutual respect, possibly friendship as canon between them, and I like to think of them colluding together to help Phoenix in the GS4 timeline. You forgot the only other hint I can see to the feasibility of this shipping - in game 1 and maybe the others, I seem to remember Maya seems to be able to assist Edgeworth in expressing his emotions.

Of course, it doesn't help that I can only see Edgeworth as either paired with Phoenix or totally asexual. "C'mon Edgey! You were a guy once."

I do wonder if they'll actually try this. Soap opera time! Because there must be some reason they 'didn't tell'. My personal theory is that Phoenix already told Trucy, though.

my fanfic senses are tingling. or maybe that's just because i read all 35 chapters of koi kaze and immediately thought of trucy and apollo while reading it.

Miss Icer, I totally acknowledge and agree with your points. Of course, it takes only a shipper to twist that stuff around. 8D
But yeah, it's really, really hard to ship ANYBODY other than Phoenix with Edgeworth when you've got the fangirls ready to rip you apart. They've...discouraged me many times. D:

well the problem with edgeworth is that...he's never showed any interest in women whatsoever. almost all the main characters have shown some form of attraction to the opposite sex.

:phoenix: - (iris, maya?, regina, dee vasquez, april may, even thalassa)
:butzthumbs: - (cindy stone, kiyance, bennifer, katty tom, desiree, iris, franziska, maya, alexis)
:maya: - (maximillian galactica, phoenix?)
:sadshoe: - maggey
:godot: - mia

like franziska, edgey just doesn't have any "moments" with the opposite sex. (well, maybe count :franny: x :larry: or :franny: x :sadshoe: but even that is a stretch). honestly, if edgey were to be with anybody, i'd say franziska would be the only likely candidate, but since they grew up together as siblings, i highly doubt that's going to happen. my guess is :karma: set up franny and edgey to become sexual failures.

Spoiler:
Somehow, it's difficult for me to believe "the reason" is that Thalassa wanted her two children to make babies with each other.

At most I could buy a 'Back to the Future' moment (where young!Marty'sMom kisses Marty and then gets completely turned off because it's "like kissing her brother"). But even in the ending of Apollo Justice, Trucy makes it clear she thinks of Apollo as a brother.
