While we're on the subject: it's really kinda minor, but does anyone remember the bit where Maya goes something like "So this one time at lawyer school, Nick-" and Phoenix hurriedly stops her, presumably because it was going to be something embarrassing?

Well, how could she know? Either she was making things up (in which case why was Phoenix all "argh, no, don't say anything!"?), or somebody told her this embarrassing thing.

She hadn't heard about Phoenix until Mia told her about him over the phone. Even if Mia knew about this embarrassing thing, presumably she didn't blurt it out randomly in that one phone call that we get to see*
before she dies
.

And presumably Phoenix himself didn't blurt it out to this girl he'd known for... well, I don't remember which case she says it in exactly, but still. Why ever tell her this embarrassing thing in the first place? Maybe he keeps a journal or something and she read it, I don't know.

Why yes, I am thinking far too much about trivial details here.

* Speaking of which, that phone call was magically different every time it was played back, wasn't it? That always irritated me. @_@
 
Phoenix would so be the kind of guy to keep a secret diary (and Maya is so the kind of girl who would delightedly read it).

But honestly it's the translators being funny about the American Pie quote, logic be dammed X3
 
Haha, that gives me an idea...
Oh right, I also noticed an error as well.
In Lotta's picture, Yogi is randomly shooting to make it look like Edgeworth shot that one defense attorney. It was also stated that presumeably the defense attorney(or Edgeworth, actually) dropped into the river. But that wouldn't make sense, since Phoenix proved that it was actually Yani who dropped into the river. Thus the Lotta would testify the opposite. Weird.
 
I just find it odd that 1-1 and 2-1 never seem to bring the fingerprints of people into the question. If they analyzed the fingerprints on the murderer weapon, there wouldn't even be a case (and there's no mention of wiping, either, even though it's a possibility). =/
 
Haha, I love Wikipedia.
[quote="Gettysburg Address" from Wikipedia]Initially, the town planned to buy land for a cemetery and then ask the families of the dead to pay for their burial. However, David Wills, a wealthy 32-year-old attorney, objected to this idea...[/quote]
... Okay, I know, that was random. But still. :D

Exactly why fingerprints never come into it.

"Well, we have the murder weapon Larry Butz used to... no, no, wait, my bad, it was Mr Sahwit."
 
So, guys. I was in Barnes & Noble today, browsing the manga section, and... guess what I found?

Squee.
 
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:
That...
I have to buy. I should stockpile my money too...
-starts stockpiling-
 
sd/fl;hvfz I hate your USians and your Barnes and Noble D: Apparently they're having this massive promotion to coincide with Wicked's 5th anniversairy (which, oddly, is also my 19th birthday :D) so there's loads of Wickedy stuff to be bought there, too.

I hate the UK D:

How much as the Casebook?

Also: Trials and Tribulations came out over here this week. Apollo Justice came out here months ago XDD
 
I can has manga~! <33333 Will constantly edit with random thoughts inside the spoiler tags.

ahh Phoenix has huge eyes
and is that Fran smiling? o.O
random beginning xD
I don't think I'll quickly get used to these illustrations. I still find the in-game pictures (like the one of Maya and Pearl with the urn) really weird. o.O
ah the class trial isn't supposed to pop up at the beginning Dx it's so much more awesome later. xD
lol apparently Phoenix has no lawyer talent, while Edgeworth does.
... oh wait
Maya being serious and philosophical wow that's a first.
no Phoenix don't be doubtful D:
young!Edgey is adorable :3333
so is young Phoenix :3333
wtf deep Phoenix that /never happens/
and apparently his lawyership was not to meet Edgey, it was to help him. That's, uh... well... xD
enter Edgey with awesome entrance <3
why does he tell Edgey what he's thinking about (why he became a defense attorney)? Now he has to provide a reason. And if I know Phoenix and Edgey, Phoenix isn't about to make up a reason...
I'm editing like three times on each page, so I'm practically vaguely narrating the book. xD
It appears Phoenix did tell the truth, but vaguely enough that it's not the full truth. And Edgey apparently guessed at the reason. But that's vague too, and as a result my slash goggles are tingling. >:P
wtf now I'm confused Dx
noble Phoenix wants to do whatever he think is right, and that would apparently include exposing an innocent client's coverup.
and Edgey confirms his want to help people
is Edgey pointing at him? It's so <3~
my slash goggles are tingling
sense! this is currently making none.
I suppose I should stop trying to look at it from a game point of view and begin looking at it from an I-don't-know-this-yet point of view. :P
slash goggles~ They're going to break from overload of slash soon. Dx
Godot what are you doing here o.O
wait what do they change artists every chapter? Weird...
Godot, Fran and Edgey in the space of three pages? What is this world coming to?!
new character? :V
wait what is that a typo?
okay now it looks like my anti-slash goggles are tingling. As in not-gay subtext. That's a first.
this murderer looks like a monkey 8D
... no wait that's the victim
authentic "HOLD IT!" <3333
AUTHENTIC "OBJECTION" <3333333 and it's not even during a trial!
Phoenix is unusually smart 8D
... WTF IS PHOENIX WINKING?
Gumshoooooooe~! And epic plot twist of epic!
looks like we'll be having a 1-3 trial~ wait
OLDBAG WTF ARE YOU DOING HERE o.O
two insane clients and... Larry?! New girlfriend, huh? Of course.
and Phoenix sends him off
this timeline is insaaaaane there's a reference to 3-3, Pearl appeared without warning and there's a new character...
OBVIOUS SUBTEXT MY SLASH GOGGLES ARE VIBRATING MY FACE
... oh it's only Oldbag
when did she appear? This timeline makes no sense if you haven't played the games.
no, it's subtext all right. There goes my slash goggles. D:
Edgeyyyyyy. <33
yaaaay, it's finally a trial! <3
same judge...
ha Maya left to avoid the Windbag
disturbing... mental... images...
oh my god that's a guy? o.o
... are you trying to tell me this guy is dead? o.o But I love twists like that. <3
... and Oldbag's way over 100, apparently. xD
DISTURBING MENTAL IMAGES
INCLUDING ONE OF TEENAGE OLDBAG Dx if she weren't so obnoxious I might well like her
oh so it was Peaaaaaarl no wonder. She's so cute though.
wait a minute now we know what happens when spirit mediums channel men! <3
Maya channeling Oldbag?! such... a disturbing... image... *gouges eyes out*
wait when did Oldbag die o.O
never mind it would appear that the obnoxious person that is Oldbag is still alive and Maya was channeling... her grandmother. Right. Weird.
squee Pearl is freaking /adorable/ <33333333
hey it's a caaaaaat! Pearl, name it Shoe. xD
d'awww innocent Pearl is adorable <3
cat ate the attorney's badge 8D
references to Godot and 3-1 8D
and Gourdy
cat food for... Missile. Right.
OH MY GOD MY EYES LARRY THERE IS NO CROSSDRESSING ALLOWED IN PHOENIX'S OFFICE, ESPECIALLY NOT AS MIA @_@
Phoenix/Maya evidence clear as day :B
Pearls is an awfully fast runner. o-o
Mia!Pearl looks real weird.
this scene fits the music playing exactly, weirdly enough.
Young!Phoenix looks like a criminal Dx
xDD funny scene is funny
aw Phoenix Dx
Mia!Maya has a big head Dx
HAY IT'S DAHLIA AND MAYBE IRIS <3333
I find this point incredibly cheesy Dx
IRIS
YAAAAAY 3-5 REFERENCES THAT WAS /THE/ MOST EPIC TRIAL <33333333
MAYA/PHOENIX <3333
Phoenix is freaking out DDx
Hay look Lotta has a cameo~
xD the cat thing.
"Once trial is over, we're going to find a waterfall." "I can't channel my sister like this..." "LET'S GO! WATERFALL! NOW!" xD
... the scent of fresh lemon, all right.
Nice, Edgey, the Judge, Phoenix and Maya all got him guilty xD
The Mystery of Godot's Coffee Solved: His mask doubles as a coffee pot.

OH MY GOD HE IS
this is making me TWITCH
WHAT THE HELL IS HE INSANE oh wait yeah he is
Oh wow they actually acknowledge that they're in a video game/manga, if only slightly. I've only seen that happen once before.
I thought that was hallucination :B
This book is freaking hilarious. 8D
Is that Maya/Godot I see? o.O
MOAR MAYA/PHOENIX

AWESOME. TWIST. =D That was possibly my favorite part of the manga.

Well, that and that one four-panel joke about Adrian.
 
Must. Have. *flees to nearest Barnes and Noble in order to raid it whilst cackling maniacally*

Wow, Leafeth, that sounded almost as nonsensical and shipping-filled as if I'd said it. :D ILU~

[/third post ever on PW fanclub due to chronic new fandom shyness]
 
;__; Spoilers in the PW fanclub thread that I can't read yet... I thought that would never happen again. DDD:

Want. ;;
 
WOO HOO! I got T&T yesterday ^w^ Along with Sonic Chronicles, but that's not important right now.


Is it just me or does the courtroom music get worse with every game, though?
