Ace Attorney fans will hopefully remember the heartwarming story of how prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, defense attorney Phoenix Wright, and loveable idiot Larry Butz all became friends. It began with a simple crime in a classroom, for which Wright was blamed, and which Edgeworth acted as his lil baby defense attorney; it ended with the former two becoming lawyers, and Larry Butz becoming a womanising nuisance.
The “Cl ass Trial”, as it became known, was recounted in the series as a pivotal moment for Edgeworth and Wright, and told through hazy, sunshiney vignettes. It’s these vignettes that were faithfully recreated by three cosplayers a few years ago.
In the photos, taken by Peegion Photography, Phoenix Wright is played by Mangalover93, Larry Butz is played by fluffyduckyp, and Miles Edgeworth is played by Cephal_Xin. All three put extra effort into creating the outfits with the appropriate amount of effort for their characters: “Miles sewed the entire costume from scratch for accuracy, Phoenix drew the T-shirt design and printed it, and as Larry I opened my cupboard and took out a singlet and shorts,” says fluffyduckyp on Reddit.
Despite their youthful looks, all three cosplayers were actually all in their mid-twenties when the photos were taken. “Our average height is 4’11”,” says fluffyduckyp. “In real life, I still get student discounts automatically, depending on how I’m dressed.”
Honestly, considering that Ace Attorney deems anyone over 30 to be ancient
