{{quote| Apollo: Yeah right, like she knows how to chat on the internet!}}

* [[Badass Grandma]]: Jessica Poole, the prosecutor. You don't want to mess with her.

* [[Cryptic Conversation]]: Everything Erlenmyer says is the truth, but most of it is so wrapped up in euphemisms as to be unintelligible, both in-universe and out. Learning to or trying to interpret his babble is a recurring plot point.

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Jessica Poole, just like every prosecutor before her.

* [[Flower in Her Hair]]: Rhea

* [[Follow in My Footsteps]]: Gerald Strings became a judge like his father, {{spoiler|but resigns at the end to follow his own path}}.

** The game can really start screwing up during the timed section.

* [[Grotesque Cute]]: A light example. There is a skeleton Rhea Wits' business card, and Apollo comments on how cute it is.

* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: {{spoiler|Rhea gives one to Apollo during recess just before the final confrontation.}}

* [[Hoist By His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|Rhea's parting taunt is what ends up destroying her entire case.}}

* [[Hypocrite]]: During Chambers' trial in which he's accused of killing convicted serial killer Robert Ehrlenmeyer, Poole opens by saying that someone who murders a murderer is worse than the original murderer. {{spoiler|When Ehrlenmeyer was on trial, Poole forged a psychological profile in an attempt to prevent him from being declared legally insane because she wanted him to be sentenced to death.}}

* [[I Did What I Had to Do]]: Several times, notably with {{spoiler|Jessica and Paul.}}

** {{spoiler|This mirrors the way that Dahlia called Phoenix Feenie.}}

*** {{spoiler|Technically, that was Iris, but it is still probably supposed to be a mirror.}}

* [[Kangaroo Court]]: Just like the good old days, and we wouldn't have it any other way. {{spoiler|Rhea}}, however, gives arguments saying that the ''defense'' has an advantage in the ''Ace Attorney'' courts by pressuring witnesses with limited time, though, {{spoiler|and gets the last part of the trial put on a time limit}}.

* {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}: {{spoiler|The Chambers brothers}}.

* [[Mad Scientist]]: Robert Erlenmeyer, the victim, is a mentally deranged biology teacher.

** {{spoiler|While Erlenmeyer is insane, it's not in the way we are initially led to believe. When we meet Erlenmeyer face to face, he's scared, incoherent, doesn't seem to understand what's going on, and seems incapable of harming a fly.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Needle in A Stack of Needles]]: The mysterious bust killer hid the bodies in a graveyard. That's why they were never found.}}

* [[Nepotism]]: Chief Juatice Strings wants to further his son's career, {{spoiler|which is why he frames Chambers}}.

* [[Never Mess With Granny]]: Jessica Poole

* [[Ominous Pipe Organ]]: {{spoiler|The theme that plays during Apollo's confrontation with Rhea.}}

* [[Original Flavour]]: Turnabout Substitution tries to feel like a real Ace Attorney case, and succeeds.

* [[Punny Name]]: In true Ace Attorney Fashion:

** Some of the victims of the backstory case include names such as Rick Roll and Dan Druff.

* [[Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness]]: Paul Strings, the Chief Justice, must have taken English classes with Redd White and Valant Gramarye when he was younger.

* [[Straw Feminist]]: Vivian Snow, [[Played for Laughs]]. There's no political message behind it whatsoever, especially since the author actually identifies as a feminist, and the plot is mainly driven by strong female characters. It does, however, serve to {{spoiler|establish Snow as a potential suspect by making her seem more important to the story than she really is.}}

** also [[Fridge Brilliance]] as {{spoiler|Snow mentions how everyone refers to the murderer as a man. For a lot of the case except when Poole is suspected, Apollo and others refer to the killer only as a man to stop you from guessing Rhea's the killer.}}

* {{spoiler|[[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: When the Judge gets run over several times. Rhea even admits it was overkill}}

* [[The Tape Knew You Would Say That]]: What you get if you call Phoenix on your cell phone during the first day.

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: {{spoiler|The Judge, to Strings and Fisher's plan to spring Erlenmeyer}}

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Just like the games that it's based off of. In this one the guilty party {{spoiler|attempts to dig their way out of the courtroom, with a shovel!}}

* [[Wham Line]]: {{spoiler|"Do you know why I always put strawberry and lemon chewing gum in the same box?"}}

* [[Xanatos Speed Chess]]: {{spoiler|Even though her execution is sloppy, the antagonist repeatedly adapts her plans to changing circumstances. When spotted by Erlenmeyer, she plays on his mental fragility to have him accuse himself ; when he escapes from prison, she sees it as the opportunity to commit the perfect crime, killing the serial killer accused in her place while the police think he's still alive ; and when Judge accidentally stumbles upon the crime scene, she quickly finds a way to murder him and pin the crime on the unconscious Erlenmeyer.}}

** {{spoiler|Also, while she's sloppy about saying things she shouldn't know or that incriminate her and allowing inconsistencies in her testimony, she's brilliant at covering for them and coming up with innocent explanations for them when challenged.}}
