The reason Matt Engarde specifically requested Phoenix as his attorney was because Will Powers wouldn't stop talking at Global Studios about this
"Amazing attorney called Mr. Phoenix Wright" and how he "Beat the best prosecutor in the state" and "Won my lost-cause case".
He probably even talked about how he was inviting him and his "Assistant" to the ceremony and there he made a back up plan with Shelly knowing Maya would be there to kidnap and when, in-case things didn't work out as planned.
One problem with this is... If you meet Matt for the first time and ask to be his lawyer, it's very very obvious it was not Matt's plan to get Phoenix as his lawyer. He knew nothing of this plan and pretty much dismissed Phoenix... and only when Matt heard De Killer's name, he knew what was up and started cooperating.

That's true. He didn't nessasarily know what Wright looked like though. But since Phoenix did state his name to Engarde he should have recognized it then. Unless he wasn't really listening, which isn't a very good reason. Especially if you're expecting Shelly to send someone your way. The only logical one I can think of anymore is if he didn't know Wright's name or face, only that Will was inviting him and his assistant and told Shelly that the lawyer who worked for Will would be sitting at Will's table.

Never in front of the officers, though. They don't want to ruin their images for everyone working for them.

If Simon indeed shares the Steel Samurai-interest with Edgeworth, I really hope it's like that. Heck, I can even igore my own headcanon for a while, in which Simon dislikes Steel Samurai, to imagine those conversations.

They were much too afraid to speak up against thee.
I tend to sound a lot less impressed with anything when I post than how I actually feel, but sometimes it's funnier that way.

Well, this is a completely normal human reaction, but I can see it so vividly and... Hm. After DD-5 and that intense and emotional trial a trivial thing such as a nice salty-spicy meal was what they all needed, to chill a bit. (That wasn't the headcanon. First I found it a bit odd, even, that they were all "ah, now this is over, let's have some noodles", but then I realized that it probably was a nice thing to be all casual for a while.) But the relief of it all must have been intense and weird and surreal and almost sickening; I imagine Simon's reaction to everything when he got to be all by himself afterwards being... well, not pretty. Like, every reaction ever, everything from hysterical laughing to loud sobs to hyperventilation to just slumping down and breathing to... Well, everything. The relief must have felt almost scary.

So, yeah, completely normal human reaction but holy hell, how vividly I can see it.

And while it could just be explained away as something they did for dramatic reasons, I'm eager to find an alternative explanation. What I'm thinking is* The meticulous regeneration
* and adjustment of all your
* internal organs is...
This sounds like a complicated affair which probably takes a lot of... medical stuff. Some chemical side effect, perhaps?
* Well... Let's just say modern
* medicine allows us all to live
* to a ripe old age.
Or the poison somehow severely "aged" his organs and stuff and it affected his hair as well.

I won't take away these people's experiences from them, but when it comes to scientifically approved headcanons I'm in Ema-mode, and Ema doesn't take anecdotes as evidence

Anecdotes aren't proof after all, no. Perhaps I was just too fascinated by the possibility I embraced people's anecdotes too quickly... I took for granted that it was some chemical stuff before Edit: Some word seemingly coming out of nowhere. Word was "even". Whatever.

But hair, hmm... This made me think about Simon. Since the theory of hair graduately changing colour because of long-time stress doesn't have a clear scientific answer, I find both yeahs and nopes but much scepticism (even though it probably is the reason his hair looks that way in-game)... So this poliosis-thing... B12 deficiency? Something genetic? Inflammation? Infection? Premature graying that will cause all the hair on his head to turn white at a young age - can this cause such a distinctive patch like that, though? Did he have that streak before and merely coloured it black when he was younger or did it occur recently? Etc. I'll see what I'll roll with. Someday.

In any case, from what I've gathered there are only physical explanations to be found. It might've been in his genes and just happened to occur while he was in prison. As for diseases that may cause it, like thyroid problems... well, he doesn't seem to be in the greatest physical condition, but that can easily be explained away with mental stress + hard knock prison life. And infection/inflammation could be if he injured himself while in prison and the prison's medical treatment and/or hygiene standards weren't top notch. Then there's the B12 thing which could tie in with him being a vegetarian/vegan, if the prison wouldn't provide him with B12 supplements, or he simply didn't ask for it. His body's storage of it may easily have run out after seven years without it.

Hmm, my mind is leaning a bit towards the B12-business, actually I was quite fond of it from the start. Just because it fits so smoothly with me seeing him as a vegetarian. But I haven't decided yet, I wonder if I ever will. I'll probably force myself to pick a theory just because I want a single one.

...Actually, it may be more than a headcanon. There's some truth to it.
