Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
Okay, so I’ve seen some Ace Attorney Fans speculate that the screwdriver featured as a minor piece of evidence in ‘Rise from the Ashes’
Is actually the same screwdriver as the one that was a major plot-point back in ‘Turnabout Sisters’.
Because, well, they look pretty much the same and also it is mentioned the screwdriver is from one of Miles’ previous cases… and Miles was the Prosecutor on ‘Turnabout Sisters’. Plus, it would explain why he’s so cagey about explaining it to Phoenix during RFTA. Obviously he wouldn’t want to bring this case up in front of Wright again.
And, well, the thing is that all of these explanations do make sense and do make it sound like this was the authorial intent, but….. There is one thing that bothers me.
The whole Thing with the RFTA Screwdriver is that Miles got it from the Evidence Room where the crime took place. And that Evidence Room is specifically mentioned to be a special one reserved for especially violent crimes involving members of law enforcement.
And this doesn't apply to the 'Turnabout Sisters' case but.... feels like it’s meant to be the Turnabout Sisters Screwdriver, y’know?
So, actually, you know what I think?
Well, after an Ace Attorney trial concludes and we find the real culprit and our defendant gets the ‘Not-Guilty’ verdict… it’s not like the Real Culprit gets Immediately Sent to Jail. They get their own off-screen trial to determine their guilt officially (as we saw briefly with Luke Atmey’s grand larceny trial in ‘The Stolen Turnabout’).
So I think that after the story of ‘Turnabout Sisters’ ended for Phoenix and Maya and us the players, Miles Edgeworth also took it upon himself to be the one to prosecute in Redd White’s own trial. Either as a way to ‘double-check’ all that Phoenix has proven in his own trial, or as atonement for almost getting this guy off-the-hook in the first place, or because it’s pretty clear that Miles is one person that Redd doesn’t have specific dirt on, or probably because of some combination of the three.
This case against Redd White is the AI-16 Incident that is labeled on the Screwdriver, and it covers all of the charges that have been put against White - not just Mia’s murder and the wiretapping of her law office but also his empire of blackmail. That we know have involved high-ranking members of the police, some of which have been driven to suicide by White.
As such, this will qualify the Screwdriver to be placed in the Special Evidence Vault for Dead Cop Cases, while still maintaining the connection to ‘Turnabout Sisters’!
I just think it’s so silly and funny that in ace attorney, the defendant can go “I’m fucking guilty” and the judge can be like “nice, we’ll put in you in jail then. BUT if any DELUSIONAL, I mean, DETERMINED defense lawyer wants to give it a shot despite the defendant’s plea, I mean we’ll hear them out.” It makes no sense, it’s not supposed to, and I love it. AND it happened twice with Lana and Miles.
Literally like this:
Defendant: I’m guilty.
Phoenix: nuh uh
Defendant: stop
Judge: wait let him cook though
tonight marks the anniversary of turnabout goodbyes and DL-6 😔
if anyone needs me, i will be playing this case again
My teacher told us that the school musical was going to be girly and my friends and I were immediately like"LEGALLY BLONDE!!"
Y'all don't understand how much I need to play Elle Woods, just so I can finally meet my childhood best friend whose father got killed and he got shipped off to Germany in the slightest chance that I would meet him once again and it takes us over a decade to even hold hands in public.
It's actually Cinderella

LET'S GOOOO!!!!
My absolute favourite past time is watching irl lawyers play through Ace Attorney. It’s just people at a fancy job playing a game about their fancy job and then getting fucking shell shocked when the most insane shit happens. Fanstatic.
Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice Nahyuta Sahdmadhi Edit
So I heard the music in one edit and somehow came to the idea to edit it with this. I hope you enjoy it!
If I were Phoenix I would've been disbarred much sooner
I think we should all give Phoenix some credit for not raging out every time Miles does that stupid little finger wag in court
If I'm trying my best to defend a seemingly doomed client and the love of my life best prosecutor in the country does this I am Losing It
April fools
@themornal and @8edhead are the voices

Miles Edgeworth and Detective Gumshoe - Now avaliable as stickers on my Redbubble
Currently losing my mind thinking about how badly Maya wanted to save Miles in Turnabout Goodbyes.
How she, despite (mostly) only knowing Miles as the asshole he is in AA1, recognized that he's important to Phoenix and did everything she could to help him without question or complaint.
How she tried as hard as she could to channel Mia and ask for her guidance, and beat herself up endlessly lamented neglecting her training when she struggled to reach her spirit.
How she interrupted the judge's verdict on the first trial day to call Lotta's testimony into question, and got thrown into contempt of court as a result, taking full responsibility for her outburst and insisting Phoenix not be punished for it.
How she enthusiastically pursued any and all leads during the investigation to find the clues that could help Miles be found innocent, even if they seemed meaningless (re: the Gourdy escapade).
How her first instinct upon threatened by a taser-wielding Manfred was not to run, but to JUMP ON HIM and snatch the evidence he was carrying.
How she was the one to make the connection between Phoenix's theory that the DL-6 murderer had been shot, and Grossberg's comment that Manfred had taken a vacation after DL-6, and immediately shared her realization with Phoenix.
How the bullet she stole ended up being the decisive evidence needed to declare Miles not guilty.
How Miles would have been declared guilty on several occasions if not for many of these actions.
How even despite all this she STILL claimed she was basically useless and resolved to return to her village for training so she doesn't have to feel like a burden to Phoenix.
All for a man who once tried to have both her AND her best friend found guilty of murder.
Maya Fey is the MVP of Turnabout Goodbyes and I WILL NOT STAND FOR ANYONE SAYING SHE ISN'T I love her so fucking much
I did a thing with @googliplierirl where we drew a duo from our current fixations. So here's Phoenix Wright and Maya Fey-
