also, bonus edgeworth:

I don't know about you, but I find it very touching that Charley has stayed with us for the entire series. He has seen several generations of lawyers and all their ups and downs. And he has remained the office's good luck charm, even when they forgot to water him.

happy apollo justice trilogy i guess

leave me alone, im percieving.

Because it’s very funny to me that due to interesting localization, in Japanese Apollo talks in a way that is much less

“Nervous and jittery but trying to psych himself up by doing/saying things that he things look cool”

And more so

“Impetuous teenager trying to sound as masculine and serious as he can whilst wanting to explode at any given moment in time”

It’s such an interesting dichotomy because it’d be difficult to localize given that it’s basically him just tone and vibe due to the fact that it’s not WHAT he’s saying necessarily, it’s HOW he’s saying it.

Examples are:

Using the pronoun “オレ” , an extremely masculine and rough pronoun (which is usually used to portray masculinity and confidence in anime/video games but in real life is usually only ever used by men when talking to close friends in private)

The use of *katakana in his dialogue (when not using loan words). It makes his dialogue seem sharper and more forceful for lack of better terms

Sometimes using ぜ as ending particle which is masculine and adds force or indicates command (especially internally) even though he does tend/try to use pretty polite language externally.

*(as you might have seen above “オレ” is written in katakana and it almost always is, especially in his internal monologue)

All of these have been stated to give him a distinct voice when compared to Phoenix, who, in Japanese, talks like a normal, pretty casual guy with a bit of a goofy streak. However, the real nuances of this difference is pretty lost in the ENG version.

While the localization does put more of a focus on Apollo hyping himself up and making himself seem cool, it generally capturing how he comes off as younger (and louder) than Phoenix- however they wasn't able to easily carry over the little edge that made him seem much more "rough," so to speak.
