Alright it’s theory time. (practically no spoilers I’d say).
This one’s a bit far out there but it’s been living in my head rent-free so it’s time to evict it to tumblr.
Satoru Hosonaga is Miles & Gregory Edgeworth’s ancestor. YES I SAID IT WAS FAR OUT THERE PLEASE LET ME FINISH
Okay, so if you can’t read the horrible low-res screenshot, the gist is that there are a couple visual similarities between them, being:
- All three have a sprig of hair that sticks up in the back. It’s unnoticeable from the icons alone (exception of Hosonaga), but from the sprites and in-game art both Edgeworths have that little tuft.
Also on the topic of hair, in the AA trilogy icon for Miles his hair color not only matches his father’s a bit more but also Hosonaga’s. (however in DD and SOJ it turns into a much lighter grey)
- All three have glasses. Granted, Miles gets his glasses later on in life, however it implies that they all have bad vision. Poor vision “tends to run in families”, however is not genetic.
- Both Gregory and Satoru have defined cheekbones. Miles doesn’t, however he is 100% related to Gregory so he is excused for this one.
- Not written on the image, however on the wiki their heights are all pretty close to each other.
Miles Edgeworth: 5′10′’; 178 cm
Gregory Edgeworth: 5′9′’; 176 cm
Satoru Hosonaga: 5′10′’; 178 cm
Granted, Hosonaga is from the late 1800′s/early 1900′s, so the height likely isn’t accurate. However, it is written on the wiki & supports my argument, so I will be taking it as canon despite its flaws.
THINGS CAN CHANGE THROUGH GENERATIONS. Miles and Gregory have vastly different hairstyles, and yet they’re still related. Skin tone can be accounted to lighting/health conditions. (Hosonaga has a colored background for his icon and also probably suffers from iron deficiency/anemia due to his constant coughing)
Now for personality, I’ll be going off of the Ace Attorney Wiki.
- All three are honest & hardworking.
- Professional/Serious demeanor. (Hosonaga has the wackiest disguises yet treats them all seriously & professionally so I guess.)
- Dedication to the truth. (it’s Ace Attorney what else would it be)
- Caring/Dedicating a lot for family/friends. (Miles to Phoenix, Gregory to his son & maybe Raymond Shields, Hosonaga to Asogi/Ryunosuke)
In conclusion, there is proof that Satoru Hosonaga is an Edgeworth.
Anyways, that’s the end of this theory. Personally, I quite like it, however I understand why many people would prefer other possible ancestors. Hosonaga is a background character that doesn’t have a lot of screentime, but he’s also one of my favorite characters in the whole of the Ace Attorney franchise and he deserves more love than he gets.
Hi ace attorney community..
Caption by original artist: “This was finished on May 2023, and posted on lofter and weibo [TN: Both Chinese social media websites]. Looking back, it has many flaws, but I really can’t replicate the mood I had while drawing it (I was simultaneously crying and drawing lolol) So I haven’t edited it since I completed it.
Thank you for reading!”

The art does NOT belong to me. I only scanlated it on GIMP (from Chinese to English). Translator’s notes are here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-IcYXYR6EEputtuUK7u_MxKBV4MioaoM9m2240F7r38/edit
They're so normal.....btw......
these are like from 2020-2021 so hopefully, i get the drive to update these sooner or later TT feel free to ask me questions about it over on @aaroleswapau!
this is a long one so more stuff under the cut!
ok for easier understanding, here's who's swapped with who!
phoenix ⇄ edgeworth
maya ⇄ franziska
mia ⇄ gregory
mvk ⇄ morgan
godot ⇄ raymond
apollo ⇄ klavier
trucy ⇄ kay
kristoph ⇄ constance (do not worry she is not evil)
daryan ⇄ clay (he also isn't evil)
athena ⇄ blackquill
juniper ⇄ fulbright
and some characters, while not swapped with anyone, had their stories and roles changed (like pearl, iris, and ema), and certain characters whose roles have been swapped with another person, still keep their stories (like constance and clay)
i'm also gonna apologize in advance for the lack of franziska here, i'm currently reworking her in the au so oop! no new drawings atm ;;
So im having an Ace Attorney and Greek Mythology hyperfixation and that has led me to try and merge the two. Which. Has actually been quite fun as ive been learning what gods/goddeses have been used to represent law in ancient greece. But due to. The sheer mass of mythology at my hands. I find myself battleing to pick for some characters. Lets go over the gods associated with Law
Firstly Themis. A titan. Basically the god of law/the ruler of it. However themis often pertained to divine law, rather than human law.
Dike is the god of justice, aka the very concept of righteous justice and was associated with the justice system. Represented often by the scales and beating up her rival
Astraia is the goddess of the innocent and the pure. Representing hope and often lawful behavior. The law side of her representation comes from her being a protector of true innocence. She was also one of the last people to stick with the humans before leaving. Its says she'll come back and bring hope back to the innocent one. Her and dike are so intertwined mythos wise sone sources say they are the same goddess. But many say they are just closely associated (since they are the virgo and libra constellations, details on which is which are mixed. But its overall just the idea that justice and innoence go hand in hand
Zeus in all technically is the god of righteousness and was talked about in tandem with law alot. But. It was more so divine law. Or more accurately his law.
Poine is the daemon of retribution, retaliation, and punishment for the crime of murder and man slaughter. Said in many cases to be the mother of the furies.
The furies were also used in law pretty frequently but more as a symbol of the justice being actively served. Aka torture. So not really the lawyer lol
Nomos was basically the personification of law. Often an epithet or aspect of zeus. Said to be married to Eusebeia (the spirit of loyality, duty, and familial respect. Sometimes these two are portrayed as the parents of Dike
Nemesis is the goddess of righteous revenge. However, she is used mostly in tales of relationship conflict rather than law. But ethier way, shes said to be similar to dike but is a more aggresive form.
So. My conflict is mainly edgeworths pick (yes remember this post is also about ace attorny). Phoneix im like 70% sure i want as Astraia since hes kinda like. The laywer for the hopeless and innocent despite all odds. So because of that i could make edgeworth dike. To do the whole "omg theyre not so different afterall" thing. And dike is usually painted beating the shit out of her opposite adikea(injustice) imagine i make injustice von karma than i can draw edgeworth beating him with a hammer
But also. Poine is so. On the nose it feels perfect. It feels a bit colder than the dike who is often confused with the protector of innocence. Plus. Art wise. It becomes way easier to give them different looks lol
However. Making dike Phoniex and nemesis edgeworth could be interesting considering nemesis is often considered her more aggressive or cold side since it leans harder into punishing the evil over protecting the innocent.
Gumshoe is hermes. No question. Hermes is called law loving all the time and is the runner boy for zues. Make Damon Gant Zues and BOOM its perfect
Themis being the judge amuses me greatly since themis is more in the domain of inforcinf zueses law. Which again. Damon gant as zues makes that perfect
Much to think about
Me every day
