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 "Class 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, we're not surprised to find out that kids in high school are also not the age you expect.

Kinda weird but It looks like the characters Irl kinda cool.
Yea the series might've turned out differently if this class trial was run by a talking teddy bear
@patbacknitro18 wonder if anyone else catches the reference
No way they’re in their mid-20s, that’s mental. They really do look like kids.
@nessisonett I know few japanese people IRL, my age and they look much younger than they really are.
Lucky sots
I never realized that Phoenix basically has my preferred hair style. Odd.
This is actually pretty epic most cosplays look awkward and kinda dumb imo but hats off to this one recreated perfectly
Honestly scary yet really cool how accurate they look
@patbacknitro18 That's what we really need. We already got Phoenix Wright x Professor Layton, so where's Phoenix Wright x Danganrompa? Or just a Danganrompa port for Switch would also be really nice, so that I might actually get around to playing the series at some point.
At first look, I thought the (photoshopped) headline image was artwork.
I would have guessed early 20s looking at them so I don’t feel so bad being slightly off the mark. The hand size and facial structure makes it obvious they aren’t children. Still, amazing cosplay.
Ima stop whining about my height though.
Wait, is that a woman playing Edgeworth? If not, he has a very feminine face.
@Rayquaza2510 Yeah, my favorite light novel author loves to make references as to how Japanese teenage girls look younger than their counterparts from Western countries (or the medieval Europe like countries in worlds where they get isekai'ed).
A bit uncanny, but still cool.
@patbacknitro18 Ace Attorney x Danganronpa when?
