She really could have chose any other wordings besides calling them “rivals” but she did and now it looks like that thing in shounen battle manga where the rival and main character are so close and influence each other so much they basically have a relationship over the main character and the designated love interest. Luckily, Phoenix has no designated love interest and the person “closest to him romantically” never loved him and sent a double to do the dirty work.

@@Rainy_Astra Is it? *Checks up varios ships* Wright x Edgeworth Gumshoe x Edgeworth Apollo x Klavier Athena x Juniper Maya x Franziska ... Oh yeah you're right
His ace attorney series with his friends on ProZD Plays Games is still ongoing!!! Please watch it!! Drops every day at 1pm!! Listening to his voices for free is an absolute treat omg
It basically screams GAY RIGHTS in bold neon orange comic sans letters so it’s even more impressive to play the game and think “yeah these people are definitely straight. Mhm. Yup.”😊
I love watching people pick up on it, it feels interesting and funny because this subtext completely went over my head when i played and i only realized how obvious it was when watching other people play. That seems to happen alot with the games and stuff i watch, im really upholding the clueless gay trope for myself lol
This is actually exactly why I love watching play throughs of games I’ve already played. Seeing how other people interpret dialogue and character interaction from a different perspective can give you such a deeper understanding of the plot. I tend to react to characters way different than most game reaction channels do but it gives me insight
To be honest before I played the game I saw a lot of wright x edgeworth ship fanart but so often, people will ship characters who have basically no chemistry or interactions in canon, relying on the almost nonexistent subcontext between them , so I was completely stunned when I played it and saw how absolutely not subtle the romance undertones were. i thought everyone was making it up or at the least, REALLY exaggerating it… but NO the game itself really is just gay as hell
Maya coming in with the 'They're CLEARLY rivals!' is so the same to me as Nimona in that one scene seeing Ballister's bf and just being like- "Oh! Nemesis >:)"
The "just fuck already" makes me think of the B99 Monty Hall bit where two husbands are fighting over the answer and one of the characters just goes "you just need to bone"
The fact that a few of them got on the "they were EXES" train from the "meet again" bit, it's like. Shu, how did you not realize it sounds GAY they sound GAY they are GAY for each other
Even better, Phoenix said he wanted to “save Edgeworth from himself”. Yeah, he took his time as he was an art major but he was committed when he got the chance. This is not just a story about effectively gay love, it’s a redemption romance-equivalent arc.
One of my favorite reactions is from Paperboxhouse where Alfred gets shocked, puts on Got To Be Real by Cheryll Lynn and just starts dancing for like 2 minutes
everyone just automatically shipped them, they were meant to be written that way amen 🔥 anyone who denies it never played the game or read the dialogues
I love how everyone-regardless of their own sexuality-believes in the narumitsu ship. Like no one ever has played the game up to “unnecessary feelings” and hasn’t thought “omg they’re exes for sure”. I’ve never watched a gameplay video where the person playing has thought edgeworth was straight lol
