He acts as the prosecutor for the final episode when Franziska von Karma is incapacitated, and helps Wright take down the villain. As a result of this, he has become less focused on guilty verdicts in favor of seeking the truth. In "Rise from the Ashes", a fifth episode included in all subsequent editions of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney after the original GBA version, he is portrayed as reaching solely for the truth however, guilt-ridden by his reputation and past as a prosecutor, he disappears and leaves a supposed suicide note stating "Prosecutor Edgeworth chooses death."Įdgeworth returns in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice for All, where it is revealed that he is alive, and his purpose for running away was so that he could think about what it really means to be a prosecutor. It is also revealed that many rumors and negativity exist about him in the legal field. Edgeworth believed he himself shot his father, a fact that led to him becoming a prosecutor instead of a defense attorney.Īfter his father's murder is resolved, Edgeworth becomes much more relaxed about his strict rules and personality, and becomes less antagonistic. It is revealed during this episode that Wright and Edgeworth, along with Larry Butz, were childhood friends, and that Manfred von Karma murdered Miles's father, the defense attorney Gregory Edgeworth, and raised Miles as a prosecutor under his wing. In the next episode, Edgeworth finds himself accused of murder, and Wright defends him against Manfred von Karma, Edgeworth's austere adoptive father and mentor, who won every case in his 40-year career. Throughout the game, the perception of Edgeworth changes, starting in episode three when he, for reasons then unknown, suddenly helps Wright to corner a witness. In the end, Edgeworth retained an "elegant" look, with rolled-back sleeves and vest, and sporting a longer coat and a pair of glasses, appearing more like his father.Įdgeworth's first appearance was in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, where he is introduced as an antagonist prosecutor with a perfect record, who would do anything to win a trial he is presented as respectable, but cold and ruthless. In other designs, he had grown facial hair. In the first design, he had large frills that went down to his thighs. The older Edgeworth in Dual Destinies went through many iterations. The design team added the iconic cravat to make a distinct silhouette but did not finalize that addition until von Karma's design was. When Shu Takumi saw the second version of the character, he was struck with inspiration and created the backstory between him and Wright. In Edgeworth's original design, he was going to be a 36-year-old veteran prosecutor, but the staff decided that was not interesting enough as a rival. After the first game, when Takumi saw a comic depicting Edgeworth liking the Steel Samurai, he decided that a more likable Edgeworth would be "cuter", and so Edgeworth was fleshed out into the valuable friend and ally seen since Farewell, My Turnabout. This is seen in Manfred von Karma raising Edgeworth to be a prosecutor and then prosecuting him for murder, just to have his revenge against Edgeworth's father. In the original game, Takumi designed Edgeworth to be an unlikable and tragic character. ![]() ![]() Edgeworth's character came together once Takumi decided he would be rich. Edgeworth has also made appearances in extended Ace Attorney media, such as film and animation, as well as several cameo appearances in titles outside of the main Ace Attorney series.Īccording to Shu Takumi, Edgeworth was difficult to develop as a character compared to Wright. Following the events of the first game, the character has a change of heart and reappears as a friendly rival in a minor capacity in most of the subsequent titles in the series.ĭue to the character's popularity, universally positive critical reception, and status as a breakout character, Edgeworth went on to star in two of his own spin-off games, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (2009) and its sequel. Initially introduced as a cold-hearted perfectionist, he appears as the antagonistic rival to main character Phoenix Wright in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (2001). Miles Edgeworth, known as Reiji Mitsurugi ( Japanese: 御剣 怜侍, Hepburn: Mitsurugi Reiji ) in original Japanese language versions, is a fictional prosecutor in Ace Attorney, a visual novel adventure video game series created by Japanese company Capcom.
