I'M SO LATE but wow okay Manfred. MANFRED.

He was Edgeworth's mentor and the man he aspired to become. Manfred gave him what he thought was a glimmer of hope in the most desperate of situations - the hope of becoming a prosecutor and stopping any other criminals from escaping justice the way the killer of DL-6 did. Edgeworth clung to that hope and followed the path of von Karma, but would learn later on that Manfred had his own agenda in the end - to exact revenge on both Edgeworth Senior and Edgeworth Junior. Everything Edgeworth believed in was dashed to pieces and that left him wondering where else to turn, and forging his own path in the end.

That's not to say he's ungrateful. Edgeworth IS grateful for everything Manfred taught him but now he's using it all for the truth, and properly. He's grateful for being shown how NOT to walk the prosecutor's path. He remains respectful in a civil way toward Manfred, although it's hard to hang on to that especially now that he's facing Manfred here again. There's anger for what Manfred has done to ruin his life, barely contained anger, especially now that Edgeworth has solved the IS-7 incident once and for all. However, Edgeworth does have his boundaries and does not want to see Manfred die here so far from home, or be hurt. He's not THAT heartless. If he has to, he will protect Manfred but mostly that will be because of his own convictions, not because of anything Manfred has done for him.
