Parent Teacher Night [Phoenix & Maya] - Ace Attorney Comic Dub

A dub I made of eggtempest's "parent-teacher night" comic on Tumblr. Here's the original comic: eggtempest.tum...

[@ScarletCynthia]

Ngl, if they weren’t busy solving murder cases on a constant basis, this seems like something Maya would absolutely drag Phoenix into.

[@Hikikomoriiiii]

i agree

[@chloebangco3752]

maya is ***the*** shitlord of the ace attorney franchise.

[@ScarletCynthia]

@@chloebangco3752 LOL absolutely!! XD

[@weirdbookshelf49]

Between some cases there's quite some time, so it's possible

[@Uragan00829]

​@@weirdbookshelf49There is a often a lot of time between cases, so situations like this could have happened

[@brodimations4388]

Dude phoenix is strong, holding maya on his shoulders and standing perfectly still

[@Zelapher]

the most unrealistic thing about this comic is that, since phoenix is canonically a weakling. I would even venture as far as to say his fake character isn't even the weirdest person in the ace attorney universe.

[@brodimations4388]

@@Zelapher yeah that and Maya going to a real school, I see your reasoning but this comic was meant to probably be a joke

[@Zelapher]

@@brodimations4388 well yeah i don't remember from what but I'm pretty sure Maya is quoting and copying the movements of a different character in something else.

[@paxgallery6646]

@@Zelapher Phoenix can bust down doors, fall off a bridge and only get a bad cold, and get hit by a car and walk away with a sprained ankle, and you're calling him a weakling?

[@Zelapher]

@@paxgallery6646 the ladder two are his freak luck powers and the door's are almost always because Maya is in danger and also its just a door.

[@champagnesupernova1839]

the fact that she called him nicholas when nick is short for phoenix

[@champagnesupernova1839]

she was drunk i think :3

[@belynda1224]

I’m pretty sure she purposefully does this for kicks and giggles lol

[@aaapeaceofmind7786]

Her teacher be like : I didn't get paid enough for this shi-

[@DramaLlamaTheatrics]

You know that everyone who saw him that evening probably immediately recognized him as Phoenix Wright… solely because of his iconic spiky hair. Actually that’s probably why he has that dumbass hat.

[@popenieafantome9527]

I think Maya is just messing with nick. Why would the teacher have a stash that says she is maya’s teacher?

[@randomfandoms8994]

Teachers really dont get paid enough for this but its still funny

[@arendellecitizen208]

Phoenix: Bitch, neither do I and I’m a lawyer.

[@LaCabraAsada]

​@@arendellecitizen208 Pheonix gets paid??

[@LaCabraAsada]

I love the implication that Pheonix had a child at the age of *7*

[@coryfreake9070]

I don't.

[@InnocentGabe]

🌿👽

[@CuddlesManiac]

Or he just pulled a Trucy and adopted

[@tokatstorm9270]

Based on the banner around her labeled “Maya’s teacher”, I can only assume that’s Maya’s BFF who ALSO got dragged into the joke, there was NEVER a parent-teacher conference and Maya just thought it’d be funny to force these two into a dumb scheme and see who breaks first.

[@Hazelliliies]

She woulddddddd

[@Apollo_Justice-is_fine]

Now that I heard that, the teacher does look an awful lot like Franziska but wearing glasses

[@alexanderexton5001]

The blue badger music when Maya talks about messing with people is great! Plus... "The Economy." Thanks for the laughs. :)

[@chloebangco3752]

thank you thank you!!! i took some time to consider how i'd deliver this comic dub. i'm so happy you liked it!!!

[@arendellecitizen208]

At this point I can’t tell how much is Phoenix messing with the teacher and how much is him thinking that’s how normal people act considering the shit he has to deal with in his law career.

[@animal_gal_adventures9885]

I thought it was going to be "heh heh, lmao Lawyer dude is my dad" but this is much better

[@chloebangco3752]

honestly i had the same thought. it was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

[@SuperBatSpider]

Phoenix:No Maya:I won’t make you pay for burgers for your next 3 cases Phoenix:

[@calinstanciu9385]

Keep in mind that this comic is set in the OG Trilogy time period, before Phoenix adopted Trucy. (And yes, I am aware Trucy is Pearl's age, but whatever. The point is that Phoenix was dragged into doing dad things before adopting Trucy.)

[@chisakiaiko6678]

Her teacher like: well I know where she gets the weird clothes from now

[@bondbond8260]

Wright is upholding the Law economy with Edgeworth by themselves

[@ashkemena]

omg i love wright just being called nicholas

[@Basher.G]

Will he put on a fake mustache? HE PUT ON A FAKE MUSTACHE!!!

[@constantinedaurum9943]

Well he is her legal guardian in a way

[@Freedmoon44]

Honestly he shouldve asked for complete custody

[@LaCabraAsada]

​@@Freedmoon44 Pheonix met Maya after Mia died when she was 17. Because her mother was missing, I'm guessing her legal guardian was her aunt, Morgan. Morgan was then charged with homicide in JfA in which Maya was 18 and legally an adult and so Pheonix wouldn't be able to take custody of her. I guess Pheonix could've been her temporary guardian.

[@VeronicaWarlock]

⁠​⁠@@LaCabraAsada if you want to mesh localization AUs, the age of majority in Japan is 20. But it also seems like there are more people in Kurain who can be legal guardians for the Fey children, as Pearl continues living there and is cared for after Morgan. Either extended family or just members of their established organization and community. I also don’t think Mia was Maya’s guardian, pretty sure they didn’t live together. But minors living alone is apparently a viable option in Japan as well. In Japan you also don’t have to go to high school (Larry mentions several times he graduated from junior high) so as far as I can tell there’s some vagueness around that as well, since it’s possible for a high school age person to be done with school and working. My point being, I don’t think Phoenix would have been considered as a legal guardian for Maya at any point. They didn’t even meet until after Mia was dead, after all.

[@Uragan00829]

I feel like Nick only acts responsible (because if he isn't, who's gonna be?) but deep down wants to do shit like this and Maya gives him excuse

[@ajanis95]

Then someone was killed and Maya was framed again.

[@theoctohat2005]

deadass couldnt breath for like 12 mins after this perfect humor right here

[@thejonbrownshow8470]

Well... Hobo Phoenix took that f***ing with people idea to heart 😅

[@MinorLife10]

As a non-American, I can confirm this is how we imagine the Americans. This, or Redd White.

[@stuartl7761]

I laughed so hard. My god. This perfect.

A reminder to everyone playing the english translation of ace attourney that it takes place in AMERICA. With ancient american temples

[@axoltheartist]

Gay has a double meaning to me 😏 as in, when I type wr in my keyboard, wrightworth is auto suggested

[@L0rdOfThePies]

I'd like to ask for your hand in marriage now

[@axoltheartist]

@@L0rdOfThePies sorry, I’m an aro/ace :/ but thanks for the compliment! (I know it’s a joke, but I can’t figure out a better response.)

I love that we all agree that maya is just a chaos gremlin, its great.

[@macaronsncheese9835]

*some years later, Maya learns that he STILL wears the cowboy suit for Trucy's PT meetings*

[@dndlee6872]

for some reason the reverb on "MAYA'S TEACHER" just really gets to me

[@toaryanonicle2877]

Phoenix...y u do this?

[@chloebangco3752]

I feel like Maya is the main one to blame XD
