Line 13:
*** Revealing who the killer is, even when there's already enough evidence to prove the defendant didn't do it, and the killer is [[Sympathetic Murderer|in some ways a decent person who had a compelling reason for what they did]] and will now likely get in huge trouble? Mia says it's justice (though Maya didn't seem to agree and it's unclear whether Phoenix was fully convinced).
** A case could be made that revealing the truth really was good in the situations where it was portrayed as good and bad in the situations in which it was portrayed as bad, but the dialogue describes bringing The Truth to light as though it is a golden ideal that is always good - as long as the person doing it is a good guy, and the person whose truth got exposed only considers committing suicide rather than actually doing so.
* [[Complete Monster]]: Unsurprisingly for a murder mystery series, there are a ''lot'' of horrible people. Among the series' most vile villains are {{spoiler|Manfred von Karma}} from the first game, {{spoiler|Matt Engarde}} from ''Justice For All'', {{spoiler|Dahlia Hawthorne}} from ''Trials and Tribulations'', {{spoiler|Kristoph Gavin}} from Apollo Justice, {{spoiler|Quercus Alba}} from ''Investigations'', {{spoiler|Blaise Debeste}} from ''Investigations 2'', and {{spoiler|
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Of the main characters, Miles Edgeworth, [[Popularity Power|to the point that he got his own game]]. Of the side characters/witnesses, Adrian Andrews.
** Don't forget Gumshoe, pal!
Line 21:
** How about Shelly deKiller?
** From [[Ace Attorney Investigations]] the [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] is looking to be [[Creepy Awesome|The Proto Badger]], same with [[Badass Grandpa|Detective Badd]].
** Also, Damon Gant, thanks to the [[Memetic Mutation]] surrounding his [[Memetic Molester|somewhat creepy behavior]] as well as his jolly attitude. His status as {{spoiler|one of the series' most intimidating villains}} also helps.
* [[Fridge Horror]]: The games become a lot less fun when you realize that Japan's court system is pretty much ''exactly like how it is presented in the games''; not to mention that Phoenix and co. would be social pariahs for being defense attorneys.
* [[Het Is Ew]]: Any time a female character gets involved with Phoenix or Edgeworth, prepare to see a
* [[Ho Yay]]: Phoenix Wright and [[The Rival]] Miles Edgeworth certainly have some rather... intense... feelings about each other. On the flip side, there's Mia and Lana's "intellectual attraction" and the various weirdness surrounding Adrian Andrews and {{spoiler|her co-dependency}}. The fourth game seems to toy with this more than most with Apollo and Klavier. For example, upon meeting Apollo, Klavier says, "I must say I'm used to being inspected by the ladies... But this is the first time I've felt this way with a man." Capcom is definitely aware of the implications, and [[Ship Tease|love]] to be as vague about it as possible.
** Also, some of the concept art for ''Investigations'', especially the one of Edgeworth and Gumshoe [[Together Umbrella|sharing an umbrella]].
