the one-off character tournament isn't quite done yet but i've been marinating this idea in my head for a while now so i thought it best to get ahead of the game. i'll be running this one after the current bracket ends!

court record one-offs bracket time

rules and information:

submit your favorite pieces of evidence! do you even have a favorite piece of evidence? well, you're about to. what are tumblr polls for but to get incensed about something you didn't think you had an opinion on

by nature of this bracket, this cannot possibly be spoiler-free. interact at your own discretion.

like last time, for the purposes of the tourney, the final two cases of dgs2 are considered the same case, as are the final two cases of aa5

basically every single piece of evidence counts except for the badges and the sacred urn? correct me if i'm misinformed about any given piece of evidence's recurring appearances

anyway also like last time, submissions from all pieces of ace attorney media are accepted. evidence from manga-exclusive cases, movie-specific iterations of known evidences, stageplay, whatever. go nuts show nuts.

if you're submitting a piece of evidence that doesn't have a page on the ace attorney fandom wiki, please help me out and link an image i can use or submit it via asks/dms

that's all submit your favorite evidences in the form below

#ace attorney #aa #dai gyakuten saiban #dgs #the great ace attorney #tgaa #bracket tournament #bracket poll #mod talks #im not saying it in the main post because its a little mean but im not going to like. Do Homework for this blog.#which means im not watching any stageplays or hunting down any mangas just for pixels for my funney bracket </3 #its hard enough for me to consume the media i actively want to consume yk #number of participants will be decided whenever i feel like actually starting. either 32 or 64 probably

For today’s rambling meta rant about sad funny coffee man du jour, I want to talk about how more than any other character, even Phoenix, Godot is inextricably entangled with the Fey family.

Gigantomassive spoilers for T&T below the cut.

I’ve written before about the Fey clan and their toxic family politics, but no other unrelated character gets as caught up in it as Diego Armando. From the moment he allies himself with Mia Fey, his destiny becomes wrapped up in the same tangled threads that make the Fey clan the foundation of the whole trilogy.

Obviously, Diego’s love for Mia is the main drive of his character and all his actions. Also mentioned but often skimmed over is his deep hatred for Dahlia, who unquestionably ruined his life. By the time he awakens from his coma, Dahlia is already in prison on death row, already out of reach. There is nothing more Diego can do to her in retribution for her blinding, crippling, and nearly killing him. Robbed of any sense of justice or closure, this simmering anger combines with his grief and poisons his heart and soul as badly as his body. From the depths of this despair is born Godot, the cool unflappable prosecutor who everyone waits for. But even once he changes his name and distances himself from the failures of his past, Godot cannot pull away from the lost love that still haunts him-- and he will not extricate himself from the Feys.

He fixates on Maya, determined to keep her safe in Mia’s stead. Now, the normal thing to do in this situation would be to introduce himself to Maya, who we all know would eagerly welcome him into the family (which she clearly does even after all the drama that follows.) But of course, Godot is anything but normal. I think his distance from Maya is easily explained by his guilt. Godot is the master of projection, and he absolutely blames himself for his perceived failure to protect Mia. In his mind, Maya will too. So it’s out of shame or guilt or his own self-hatred that he looks out for her from afar, determined that it’s better she never find out exactly who he is.

(I absolutely love Godot’s subtle softness/protectiveness for Maya. Look at the tenderness with which he treats her in the aftermath of the 3-5 murder, carrying her to safety and cleaning her up and keeping her warm. Even better when supplementary canon quietly acknowledges this. Like check out this moment from fever dream stageplay Turnabout Gold Medal. I GODDAMN SCREAMED)

But Maya’s only the beginning of the Feys Godot becomes wrapped up with. He makes an enemy out of Morgan. She’s also rotting in prison for her actions in 2-2, but those actions so dismay Godot that he starts surveilling her detention center visits with Pearl. He teams up with Misty. Like him, she’s obsessed with the past and ashamed of her mistakes, but will go to extreme lengths to protect Maya. They both recruit Iris, who’s also stricken with guilt and all three of them are willing to do stupid, convoluted, irrational things to make up for their past “sins.”

(For the purposes of this post, we’re going to acknowledge the fact that the rescue plan in 3-5 was dangerous, dumb, and entirely preventable by all involved. We’re also going to acknowledge that Misty and Iris were party to this plan and conspired to create it, and neither of them did the smart thing either. Godot is just especially willing to take the blame.)

And then there’s Pearl. They don’t interact onscreen much, but Godot shows a desire to protect her and shield her feelings like he does Maya. When Godot encounters the frightened, freezing Pearl at the Inner Temple he’s kind to her, comforting her with his last cup of coffee (somehow sweetening it so she’ll like the taste.) He expresses admiration for her pure love for Maya, and the idea that it could have been Pearl who he stabbed in the garden clearly disturbs him.

I’m not sure there’s a more blatant crime of passion in the AA series than 3-5. Godot stabs Dahlia/Misty, taking her life/defending an innocent out of love/hatred, to protect Maya/from a situation that he and her mother let her walk into. It’s honestly no wonder this is such a divisive and widely discussed case in the fandom-- there really is no untangled way to view it. Godot is a complex, tangled mess of a man permanently wrapped up with the Feys, a complex, tangled mess of a family. Love and hate and vengeance and protection and ambition and guilt fuel all of them, and all of the events that go down between them.

Undoubtedly, Diego’s life would have gone a lot smoother and been a lot simpler if he never got involved with the Feys. But if offered the choice, I don’t think he’d take it. Because, of course, the most important Fey of all is the first one he meets: the one he chooses to stand beside and the one he loses his heart to. Diego’s love for Mia is at the core of his character, and it’s that love that binds him into the twisted roots of her family tree as inextricably as any of its members.

So what I’m saying is that Diego deserves honorary Fey status and I support “Weird Uncle Diego” headcanons and fanworks with every fiber of my being and I’m pretty sure canon would agree with me.

did you ever get around to finishing aa

i had to tap out during spirit of justice i just could not make it through that game. it sucked. it sucked. i know everything i need to know about spirit of justice there's nothing salvageable there for me. i will continue to pursue other fringe aa canon for scraps such as the stageplays and the mangas. and someday i will watch the anime even though it is ugly

2., 7. and 14.!

thank you so much 🥺💖

2. what is your favorite quote from any part of revue starlight (anime, game, stageplays, movie, 4koma, credit card, etc.)?

credit card lol

I was going to say i'll pick one from every single one but then we'd be here forever so I'll just go from the line that caused me the most pain from the movie:

"Hikari-chan is so pretty... Hikari-chan is so pretty, but... she's terrifying. Hikari-chan is terrifying, but... Hikari-chan makes me envious, Hikari-chan makes me frustrated, and I can't take my eyes off of her. I know, now. The reason why I'm standing on stage."

7. what is one thing you wish could have been handled differently storywise?

more development for Frontier... their arc in AA was fantastic but very flaaaawed and outside of that they kinda just exist and ever since it was pointed out to me that Misora has the most stage experience out of All the stage girls but 0 main roles (as far as public performances go) I've been so sad for her. they deserve better. also I have iiiiissues about Aruru's AA arc but that would be a longer story...

14. if you had to pitch revue starlight to someone, how would you do it?

I'm really bad at pitching things to others lol and I think revstar is not a super easy sell bc it took me a while to grow on me but when it did. oh god when it did. and the anime barely scratches the surface of the franchise... but I think it would go as such: it's a story about passion, persistence, boundless love for telling stories as told by someone with boundless love for telling stories, how stories and the audience sustain each other, how to sustain your passion for something that is about performing: be that something creative like writing, music, art or theater, how to see the beauty in the unavoidable burnout and how to be reborn after it again and again. and see I told all of that and you learned nothing of the characters or the story. which is why im telling you im bad at pitching things lol

so this spiraled out of control, and this is me warning that my messages ahead are gonna get pretty long, so my apologies for clogging up your inbox with my ramblings as i do my best to answer your questions and stuff 😅 so basically: most toku are elaborate children's toy commercials, superhero shows, and shounen manga/anime but live-action (complete with the homoeroticism) rolled into one, although a good portion of its protagonists (especially in kamen rider, the franchise i'm most familiar with atm) are actually adults this time, albeit usually 20-something prettyboys (as to why, look up the odagiri effect if you haven't heard of it yet). and officially, toku isn't really a genre (stuff like godzilla are also considered toku), but many people outside of the jpn fandom basically treat it as such in the way they treat shounen, shoujo, seinen, josei, etc. so i guess it doesn't really matter anymore atp? (1/?)

(rest of ur asks under the cut!)

some toku are more adult-oriented, though those tend to be relegated to webseries and movies that aren't aired on tv, but again i'm not as familiar with that stuff rn. and you're right about the number of episodes - among the toku big 3 (kr, super sentai - aka the basis for power rangers, ultraman), kr and sentai seasons tend to be ~50 episodes while ultraman seasons are often around 25 instead. also all 3 of these air shows annually, but each is generally stand-alone albeit taking place in the same wider universe (mcu vibes except i think it's somewhat less annoying and with a less strict sense of having to make everything 'canon') and which can be loosely connected enough for them to have crossover movies every so often (though yeah, those tend to be not officially canon) (2/?)

among those big 3 as well, kr is definitely the go-to if you're interested in m/m subtext, whereas it's apparently less frequent (but definitely still present occasionally) in sentai and ultraman, especially as sentai in particular seems to be more big on the power of platonic friendship and family (not so sure on ultraman as that's the most unfamiliar series to me for now, though fwiw i think the template of the steel samurai in aa is relatively closer to ultraman than to the other big 2 franchises) (3/?)

as for what i'd recommend - i've actually only gotten into toku recently, but i'd say kr build (the season where inukai and akaso play the leads) is a pretty good place to start tbh! i haven't actually finished it myself, but i'm really enjoying it so far, and while i've heard it kinda stumbles in the latter third, it's generally agreed upon to be a solid season with a fairly cohesive plot and compelling characters (and the ending is kinda insane from what i know, but like mostly in a good way), and i agree so far as well. it's also one of the seasons specifically conceived as a callback to the very first kr shows in the showa era, so this way, you can get a pretty good sense of the original themes of kr even without watching said showa-era shows right away. and each kr season has its own themes too, with build's being focused on science and scientific principles, hence the protagonist here being a physicist (4/?)

build is also known for having a suspenseful thriller-like plot with a lot of twists and turns, so it's best to go in as blind as possible aside from like a cursory glance at its synopsis - basically don't follow my example, as i got spoiled for all the major plot twists and while i'm still liking the show and now focusing more on seeing how well-foreshadowed and built-up (ha) said twists have been so far, i definitely sometimes catch myself wishing i'd been a more unaware viewer from the start lol. and it's 49 episodes long (with some spin-off movies and a stageplay that, while not strictly necessary to watch due to either being not officially canon or not really relevant to the main plot, apparently do enhance the viewing experience and still tie in nicely to aspects of the main series and its character development), but due to the nature of its thriller-like story meant to hook viewers in, it might not actually take too long for you to finish (though i personally am taking it more slow and steady) (5/?)

as for the gay stuff, build is definitely worth checking out as the very originator of the life-changing phrase 'heated drama between men' (from this official promotional article www . toei . co . jp/tv/build/story/1210272_2766.html) and is also generally agreed to be one of the top kr shows (and the most recent one in years) to lay on extreme gay subtext (and again, that's saying something considering kr homoeroticism as a whole, and it's so palpable they've gotten many straight people and dudebro fans on reddit and twitter to also agree they're gay; other seasons with very heavy subtext between its 2 male leads that i can think of off the top of my head rn are ooo, blade, and ofc kuuga, the grandpa of all heisei kr shows) (6/?)

sento (the protagonist, played by inukai) and banjou (the deuteragonist, played by akaso) are considered iconic nowadays in helping elevate the primary x secondary rider partnership (bc going by those other mentioned extremely gay-coded relationships from previous seasons, none of them count as primary x secondary), and banjou by himself is often seen as redefining the secondary rider role (and also sento/banjou, or ryusen, is like peak m/m nerd x jock romance to me in general, and a fun bonus for me is even if it's yaoi, they both dress a lot like butch lesbians so in my mind they're kinda lesbian-adjacent to me, an actual lesbian). they're also really popular that they've gotten official couple's rings merch (based on their animal motifs of rabbit for sento and dragon for banjou), in the vein of narumitsu (and klapollo too if i'm not misremembering?), kawoshin, those guys from promare and code geass, etc (7/?)

speaking of aa again, i do think edgeworth would generally enjoy kr, gay subtext and all (the steel samurai probably contains heated drama between men too), and even though idk yet if kr and/or build would be his favorite toku shows as a whole, i definitely think he'd find himself relating to sento in many ways (they're both gay-coded identity crisis-having autistic guys with red in their color schemes, among some other similarities you'll discover along the way), but i think sento's relationship with misora (the main female character and his younger sister-ish figure) is overall more akin to phoenix and maya's than to edgeworth and franziska's. i don't think banjou and phoenix are that similar though, aside from being bi-coded blue-themed men associated with dragons, but edgeworth might still find a way to draw some parallels between his relationship with phoenix to the ryusen dynamic (8/?)

and while i can't guarantee build will make you feel as crazy (positive) as it's making me rn, i think you'll still like sento/banjou and the show itself... also, sento and banjou are pretty much the opposites personality-wise of inukai and akaso's characters in odt and cm (i also watched and enjoyed both shows prior to watching build, and yeah it's definitely a bit of a whiplash to see how different their respective characters are, though it does tickle me to imagine the possibility that the drama got so heated in build it inspired them to act in full-blown bls a few years later). like sento is an 'egotistical genius superhero' with a heart of gold whose arrogance is partly a facade and coping mechanism for his identity issues, and banjou is basically an adhd icon and ex-pro boxer (although lbr akaso doesn't really have a convincing enough physique for it, but well i can forgive it in the end because he's a great actor otherwise) who's very much an 'act/punch first, think later' type of dumbass but who's also a kind person at heart, albeit starting out as a bit of a selfish jerk whose (kinda understandably, in hindsight) distrustful nature makes him look out only mainly for himself and his small circle of loved ones, so i think it's nice to see both men's acting range (9/?)

anyway i'd say the love story (platonic or romantic, but well. it's really hard to read it as purely the former) between sento and banjou is truly at the heart of the show (like it's literally a story about building relationships) - in short, build is that "stop war start gay" graffitti meme. but for a better summary of what i do like overall about build that's also not very spoilery: www . tumblr . com/timetoddddavis/711997352927510528?source=share also i'm obsessed with this fmv so i must inflict it (positively) on every person i can (it's a bit spoilery but it's all out of context so it's not that big of a deal): youtu . be/-Gjzr5HmmfY?si=HUr8oZezqV_lIusZ (10/?)

(also even if you end up concluding that toku really isn't your cup of tea, you can at least maybe think of your experiences as a way to improve future aa headcanons and fics wrt its depiction of the steel samurai and company i guess?) this has gotten long enough that i'll stop here, but i did have some additional thoughts on build's female characters (sadly there's only a few of them, but they're treated well enough considered how men-centric kr generally is), how kr has actually and refreshingly also been dipping its toes into yuri(bait) recently, and the kinda morbidly funny anecdote about akaso thinking he might have gotten a crush on inukai on their first day of filming but it was actually heat stress affecting him, but i'll save those for another time if you're curious enough or are okay with me continuing to ramble. i really appreciate your time and attention, and thank you so much for entertaining me and my toku fixation :-) (11/11)

also toku fans have all made our jokes about the energy emanated by that classic 'heated drama between men' photobook image of inukai and akaso as sento and banjou but i'm also not kidding when i unironically think their posing in that picture perfectly encapsulates the characters' relationship by the end of the show... their relationship development from reluctant and kinda antagonistic allies to friends to beloved (and kinda codependent ngl but that just gives it more flavor to me, and also understandable given the circumstances of everything) partners really is a sight to behold <3

oh my god anon . thank u so much for the detailed explanation but also how long did these take u to type theres So Much Info Here ??? respect to ur fixation tho i dont think i would ever be so clear and coherent talking abt my blorbos afjdskfjkd

ANYWAY !!! u have def caught my interest w build (esp w the aa parallels and the rings mention i had no idea other franchises do it too) (also in the post u linked this line "it stars a silly little rabbit, the silly little rabbit has a death wish" i Need to understand the context behind that) so i might actually watch the first few eps and see if i enjoy it?? the chara dynamics sound rlly interesting already from ur descriptions so im curious abt how theyre in the show 👀 if theres any specific place/site ud recommend i watch id appreciate that too bc i have no idea where to look kfjdks

#oh and feel free to tell me abt the other stuff if ud like! female chara discussion most important thing ever to me even if idk them #(and the akaso thing ??????? oh my god i have to hear more about that rkjgkfdjgkfg)#gonna save the fmv for later in case i do decide to watch the whole show but ty for that too!!#my answer

now that i think about it where thE FUCk is the aa stageplay about apollo justice and the gang??? like we have ace attorney stage plays that adapts cases from the games, stage plays with original cases, we have investigation stage plays, we have musical stage plays, a stage play where nrmy canon, wheres the stage play about the lawyer who works with a mf magician and a mf rockstar??!?11′? im not saying that it should adapt serenade or magical, they do be kinda dangerous for real life but somethingggg you have the characters right theree!!!! sure athena could be more complicated to adapt without retconning mood matrix to a simple tablet or a projection on a wall but it can be done right?? like cmonnnnnnnn

#ace attorney #aa #apollo justice #trucy wright #klavier gavin #athena cykes #aa stageplay #like cmonnnnnn #maybe its because aj is just gs4 in japan #but #we can have gyakuten saiban gyakuten kenji and gyakuten saiban with odoroki hosuke! :D

Maya: “Hey, you guys must’ve had to ballot for the tickets right?”

Gumshoe: “We were introduced by an acquaintance, pal.”

Edgeworth: “A teacher I know told me I had to watch this no matter what. I was left with no choice, so I specially took time off to come and watch.”
