Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney: Difference between revisions

* [[Repetitive Name]]: In Japanese, Wocky Kitaki and Alita Tiala were named Kitaki Takita and Minami Namina, respectively. Put the first and last names together, and you get Kitakitakita and Minaminamina. [[Punny Name|Incidentally,]] "Kita" is the Japanese word for 'north' and "Minami" is 'south'.

* [[Rockers Smash Guitars]]: [[Discussed Trope]].

* [[Shout-Out]]: In the case where you encounter Valant for the first time he goes to you before entering court for the last time. Apollo thinks to himself that Valant used the door like an [[Harry Potter (novel)|average muggle]].

** Trucy tells Apollo that her magic cabinet (and panties) is bigger on the inside than the outside. Which reminds Apollo of [[Doctor Who|a science-fiction show he used to watch]].

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Phoenix himself, in the seven years between this game and ''Trials and Tribulations''. He goes from "object first, then think" to an infuriating (could anyone be less helpful?!), manipulative (AJ case 1) near-genius who {{spoiler|is responsible for getting Kristoph implicated in the murder of Drew Misham by implementing a court system which wouldn't allow him to get away scot-free due to his careful elimination of the evidence}}.

** {{spoiler|Even the flashback to Phoenix's final case shows Phoenix as nearly hyper-competent (comparatively, that is) up to the fateful moment.}}

* [[Timey-Wimey Ball]]: {{spoiler|The investigation as shown in the Mason System segment would be impossible unless Phoenix Wright could ''actually travel through time'', rather than this just being a convenience for the Jurists. He uses items and information he gained in the present in the past... and items and information from events that were later in the same time period in earlier events.}}

* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Ema Skye and her Snackoos.
