Line 62:
* [[Leitmotif]]: In each of the first three games, he has a different "Objection!" theme.
* [[Love Martyr]]: When dating Dahlia Hawthorne.
* [[Made of Iron]]: Phoenix somehow manages to not only survive every serious accident; he usually ''brushes it off''. So his name, Phoenix, [[Meaningful Name|does make a lot of sense]]; he's seemingly unkillable.
* [[Made of Iron]]: AND HOW!!!
** During Apollo Justice, he gets run over by a car. Although he gets taken to the hospital, it turns out he's "not badly hurt" and has no difficult standing afterwards.
** As of Ultimate [[Marvel vs. Capcom 3]], Phoenix enters the arena and survives attacks by trained martial artists, superheroes, supervillians, physical gods, robots, zombies, Galactus himself, and rabid raccoons...
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: "Phoenix" because he always returns from the brink, and "Wright" as in "right" ("Is that right, Mr. Wright?"). "Ryuichi" is simply a [[Shout-Out]] to Ryuichi Sakamato from [[Yellow Magic Orchestra]] (although the "ryu"--dragon--is played on once Furio Tigre shows up), but "Naruhodo" means "I see", used to the same effect as "Wright" ("Naruhodo, Naruhodou.").
Line 73 ⟶ 74:
* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: He's typically fairly easily flustered for the most part, but tends to remain calm and resolute as he's closing in on the true culprit.
* [[Perma-Stubble]]: As of Apollo Justice.
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Played with. Phoenix is the red oni to Edgeworth's blue, despite the fact that Phoenix wears blue whilewhereas Miles wears red.
** However, this could possibly be played straight in Apollo Justice, where he's the blue oni to Apollo's red oni, wearing a blue hat and gray sweater compared to Apollo's red suit.
* [[She Is Not My Girlfriend]]: In the Case Book manga, Pearl questions him about what Maya really is to him, and is met with ''five Psyche-locks''.
Line 117 ⟶ 118:
* [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]]: Doles out an ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]]'' one to {{spoiler|Dahlia Hawthorne}}.
** [[Talking the Monster to Death]]: {{spoiler|''Literally'', since this makes Dahlia's ghost lose control of her victim.}}
* {{spoiler|Sacrifical Lamb}}: During the first case, she's set up as one of the main characters. {{spoiler|Then in case two, she gets murdered.}}
* [[Sexy Mentor]]
* [[Spirit Advisor]]
* [[Stuffed Into the Fridge]] and [[Disposable Woman]]: A subversion. Although {{spoiler|her murder}} early in the first game kicks off Phoenix's solo career, it's not there solely to serve as his motivation, and in fact a little thing like {{spoiler|death}} doesn't stop Mia from being a hero in her own right all the way through the first three games.
* [[Weirdness Censor]]: Played with. Most characters not to notice the changes when she possesses someone (e.g. [[Arbitrary Skepticism|Miles Edgeworth]]). Others ask if there's "something different" about whoever she's possessing (e.g. Penny Nichols), and others ''definitely'' notice the difference but don't connect Mia and Maya/Pearl (e.g. [[Dirty Old Man|Victor Kudo]]).
