Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations is the third game in the Ace Attorney visual novel franchise, following Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All. It was initially released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004, then for the Nintendo DS in 2007.Like its two predecessors, the game follows Phoenix Wright, a kind and intelligent yet hapless defense attorney who works to save innocent clients from guilty verdicts. By his side are his loyal assistant, Maya Fey and her cousin Pearl, who are capable of channeling his deceased mentor, Maya's older sister Mia. On the opposite side of the courtroom this time is the mysterious coffee-guzzling prosecutor Godot, who bears a grudge against Phoenix for unknown reasons. Meanwhile, the enigmatic beauty Dahlia Hawthorne seems to recur in the pasts of Phoenix, Edgeworth, and the Feys. The fate of the Fey family hangs in the balance as the last aftershocks of the DL-6 case finally play out.Initially the Grand Finale of Phoenix's arc, the game was chronologically followed by Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, which stars a new cast but with Phoenix in a surprising mentor role.The Phoenix trilogy as a whole has been compiled and updated for rerelease (including HD art and smoother animations) for multiple systemsnote iOS and Android, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC as the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy.Trials and Tribulations was adapted as the second season of the franchise's anime adaptation in 2018. |

| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_10cdfe4b |
comment |
When explaining his efforts to stop Maya's assassination, Godot states that he got Iris involved so she could be the Fall Guy if he and Misty failed to stop Pearl. This is the complete opposite of what the Japanese says, which is that he got her involved because she was Morgan and Dahlia's intended scapegoat for the murder, as stated by Dahlia herself earlier in the same case. |

Cover Identity Anomaly: An impersonator doesn't know that the person he's imitating recently suffered an injury that made him unable to hear out of his left ear. When a witness who was fooled by the imitation testifies that the person was wearing an earpiece in his left ear, Phoenix has to point out that it makes no sense. |

| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_17b72e30 |
comment |
Continuity Porn: Case 3-5, let us count the ways. It brings back two criminals, one from an earlier case and one from an earlier game, and both of the main prosecutors from the first two games. It manages to incorporate the entire Fey family, and that goes for the main family, the branch family, the living, and the dead. And yes, tragically, that includes Misty Fey. Even the DL-6 incident is tangentially relevant, as is Edgeworth's fear of earthquakes. Franziska references a previous case when she says there's a precedent for a flying defendant; remember Max Galactica from 2-3, who allegedly flew away after killing someone? And, on top of all of that, Gumshoe brings out the same metal detector Phoenix used in Case 1-4 to convict Manfred von Karma, and the mechanics change so that it works the same way as Gumshoe's bug sweeper in Case 2-4. Phew! Fitting for the conclusion of the trilogy. |

Title Drop |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_18d15922 |
comment |
Title Drop: In the English localization, Luke Atmey calls himself the "Ace Detective", which prompts Phoenix to introduce himself: "I am Phoenix Wright... Ace Attorney". In the original Japanese version, the fifth and final case of Trials and Tribulations, "Bridge to Turnabout", was instead named 'Magnificent Turnabout(�麗�る逆転)', which is a pun on the word 'curry', which then is a reference to a clue in the case. But it's also a reference to Phoenix's line when he makes a Badass Boast to the killer, telling him that he will present the one piece of evidence that will take him down. |

Failed a Spot Check: Furio Tigre manages to fool the entire court into thinking he's Phoenix Wright. This despite the fact that he's probably half-again Wright's weight, acts nothing like him and, oh yes, has bright red skin. But what was enough to fool the court, including the prosecutor, the judge, and the defendant (all of whom had met Wright multiple times)? Tigre wore a blue suit, made a fake badge for himself out of cardboard, and has the same hairstyle as Phoenix. |

Chekhov's Gun |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_22cf536c |
comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The 'Double Jeopardy' rule in 'The Stolen Turnabout' (the Mask☆DeMasque case) when it gets Ron DeLite off the hook for the many thefts he committed. The comedic third case is built on the fact that security is so lax that a guy with a laughably obvious fake badge was able to pass himself off as a defense attorney. At the time, it's played entirely for laughs, but it becomes convenient in the finale when Edgeworth borrows Phoenix's badge while the latter is out of commission, in order to fill in as the defense for the first day of trial. Albeit it begs the question of why stricter measures haven't been implemented in the meantime. Pearl being unable to spell "gravely" and "roast" comes back later when it turns out she was given instructions by her mother with those words and misinterpreted them. Godot's visor glows in the dark. This is only brought up once, and is easily overlooked. It's used to pin the murder of Misty Fey on him two cases later. Godot's inability to see red on a white surface comes up in the third case as a very minor event, and returns in the final one as a means to prove that he was Misty's killer. |

Bilingual Bonus: They do explain that "Trés Bien" means "very good," but if you remember that, it makes the "Trés Bien Floor Plans" a really funny piece of evidence. Very good floor plan! There's also the fact that the accent in the name is wrong (it should be "très"), hinting that Jean Armstrong isn't actually French. |

She Is All Grown Up: Invoked in 3-3. A recalcitrant witness is titillated by waitress outfits like the one Maya is wearing, but since Maya is small and looks young he has no interest in her. Mia then takes over Maya's body, which changes it to Mia's rather... ample form. The witness becomes much more helpful. |

| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_2d065418 |

Embarrassing Alibi: Invoked, and also doubles as Fake Alibi. In case 2, Luke Atmey frames himself for stealing a sacred urn at the time of a murder he committed in order to establish an alibi for the latter, as well as to invoke double jeopardy for the murder charge. |

Guilty Until Someone Else Is Guilty |

comment |
Guilty Until Someone Else Is Guilty: In the final case, it's possible for Iris to get declared guilty if the player gets a game over due to penalties, even after Phoenix proves that only Maya or Godot could've killed Elise Deauxnim, who was revealed to actually be Misty Fey. Iris only gets a "Not Guilty" verdict after Godot is exposed as the murderer. |

The Bad Guy Wins |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_2e8441c9 |
comment |
After Dahlia Hawthorne's The Bad Guy Wins, Diego Armando invokes quite a bit of Suppressed Rage. In Case 5, he — as Godot now — finally snaps and kills her in anger (but unfortunately, because it's now just her already-dead spirit being channeled by Mia and Maya's mother, the latter dies as well). |

Medication Tampering: Dahlia Hawthorne poisons Phoenix's cold medicine so that she can retrieve a necklace she used for a past poisoning. However, she abandons that plan after deciding that another man needed to be killed off more than Phoenix and the poisoned cold medicine ends up being the decisive evidence that proves her guilt. |

comment |
Your Princess Is in Another Castle!: You get your client innocent of larceny in Case 2 in one single trial... but Godot immediately lets you know that he's going to accuse your client of murder the next day, forcing a second investigation and a second trial. In the final case, after a long and arduous battle, Dahlia Hawthorne is exposed for the failure she is and the case seems to be resolved... but then Godot chimes in, pointing out that it still hasn't been established who actually did the stabbing. Thus, there's one final gameplay segment over which Phoenix eventually proves that Godot himself is responsible. |

Foregone Conclusion: Shortly before the trial starts in 3-1, Mia mentioned she had worked a case one year earlier, and it traumatized her so much that she never set foot in a courtroom until now. In addition, Edgeworth's spotless win record before 1-2 is mentioned in the first game. So the audience knows that 3-4, which is both of their first cases, won't end very well... |

Hidden in Plain Sight: Used very cleverly by Maya Fey in the final trial. To avoid being killed by Dahlia Hawthorne, Maya channels her. Dahlia mistakenly believes she's being channeled by Pearl, but Phoenix points out that by process of elimination, Maya is the only one who could've channeled her. Pearl had failed to channel Dahlia and Misty was already dead. Dahlia is extremely unamused when she finds out that her plot to kill Maya was foiled so spectacularly. |

Confess to a Lesser Crime: A variant. Luke Atmey wants to get convicted for stealing the Sacred Urn of Kurain to establish a strong alibi for a murder. Ron DeLite does the same thing, although his situation is a bit different—he isn't the murderer, but evidence places him at the crime scene, so he needs a non-murder explanation as to why. |

Also in Case 1, Mia suddenly feels the urge to hit something (Grossberg) whenever Dahlia is discussed. Mia has met Dahlia in the chronologically earlier Case 4, and Dahlia both stole a win from her and tricked an innocent man into killing himself in front of her (traumatizing Mia), and got away scot-free. Mia has a very good reason to be angry at Dahlia. |

I Never Said It Was Poison |

comment |
I Never Said It Was Poison: Two of the culprits in this game are finally caught when they mention a piece of information they could only have known if they were watching the trial... except they weren't: Case 2: In his final testimony, Luke Atmey says there were no fingerprints in the buzzer because Ron DeLite was in his Mask☆DeMasque costume. Problem is, the fact he was in costume was only mentioned during the trial for the murder of Kane Bullard, which was at the same time Atmey was being on trial for stealing the Sacred Urn. That inevitably points out Atmey was the murderer. Case 3: Phoenix lies to Furio Tigre, telling him that Glen Elg's medicine bottle contained the potassium cyanide used to murder him. Tigre angrily responds that the actual potassium cyanide bottle doesn't look anything like that, and even describes the bottle in detail, implicating him as he shouldn't have known what the bottle looked like in the first place. |

Wham Line: Just when it looks like Case 2 is wrapping up, Godot throws a wrench into proceedings: Edgeworth calls a witness to the court who introduces herself as 'Melissa Foster'. The characters all buy it because it's the first time they've seen this person, but the audience, who saw Mia's next case before this one, knows that she's lying and her name is Dahlia Hawthorne, which is an immediate tip-off that something's wrong with the trial. Iris calling Phoenix by his surname, even though Phoenix never revealed it to her. During a conversation with Edgeworth in the second investigation day: Bikini delivers one, which even manages to shock Phoenix: During the first half of the second trial day, Phoenix comes to a realization when cross-examining Iris. At the end of the game, Iris gets off one last big one that flips her and her sister's relationship with Phoenix on its head, revealing that Phoenix had actually been dating Iris back in college. |

Wham Shot: In the very first cutscene of the game, we see a person next to a corpse, saying he didn't kill him... and the person speaking is Phoenix Wright himself. Case 3 opens with a trial ending with a guilty verdict. And the lawyer is a sweating Phoenix against Payne of all people. It only takes two minutes until you find out that guy wasn't Phoenix, though. Godot and Edgeworth popping up in Case 4, which is a flashback from Mia's point of view, when she was alive. The photo of the Occult New Year's Issue at the beginning of "Bridge to the Turnabout" (which shows none other than Iris, who looks identical to her twin sister Dahlia). The second investigation day of case 5 places Edgeworth in the driver's seat to substitute for Phoenix while he was recovering in the hospital. Also In-Universe for Edgeworth when he sees the Psyche-Locks for the first time when questioning Iris since he was holding the Magatama at the time. The final investigation day of Case 5 has "Kurain Master's Talisman has been added to the Court Record". It had been two in-game days since the meaning of the symbol in the charm had been discussed, so while Phoenix had certainly not forgotten it, the players most likely did, shocking them with the reveal that Elise Deauxnim was Misty Fey. The sight of Iris with Dahlia's hair-stroking animation, serving as final proof that the two pulled off one last Twin Switch. |

Good Scars, Evil Scars. Terry Fawles from 3-4 has a series of plus-shaped scars going across his face, and he's probably one of the sweetest guys despite his deteriorated intelligence... which makes his ultimate fate of poisoning himself just before he can be proven not guilty even more tragic. |

Early-Installment Weirdness: This is the first game in the series where you play as more than one character,note In court, at least. The previous game had a brief section where you played as Maya while she was being held hostage in the final case. but the game only has one objection theme, which plays regardless of who the player character currently is. Later main series entries would have separate objection themes for each playable character. |

Post-Climax Confrontation: Phoenix and Mia have managed to prove that Dahlia's plan had failed and exorcised her spirit from Maya's body, Iris has been recovered from her imprisonment in the sacred cavern, and the judge is about to deliver his verdict...when Godot raises an objection to remind the court that the true killer's identity has not been determined yet. |

Out of the Frying Pan: Case 2, which is more like "Out of the Larceny Charge and into the Murder Charge." Phoenix gets Ron acquitted of larceny...which unfortunately leaves him with no alibi for a murder that took place at the same time as the theft, sending Ron back into custody. The second half of the case is spent trying to get Ron acquitted of this murder as well. |

Cerebus Call-Back: During the first two games, several characters have noted on Phoenix's tendency of presenting everything he has to others, particularly his Attorney's Badge. In Case 1, that very tendency makes Dahlia want to murder him because he wouldn't stop presenting the "gift" she gave him, which was actually a poison vial that she had already used to get rid of two people. |

Death Glare: Mia gives a particularly nasty one to Payne in the first case. Then, of course, there is Dahlia's. Edgeworth remarks on how his glare scares people. You can't see his in-game sprite while he's saying that, but if you think about the sprite while reading that, it makes sense. At the very end of the game, Maya gives one of these to Franziska after she insults Larry's portrait of her. It actually manages to get her to pay him a compliment, sort of. |

Plot Hole |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_6331ba26 |
comment |
Plot Hole: After the final trial, it's explained that Maya channelled Dahlia's spirit because Mia instructed her to, knowing that it would keep her safe until she could be saved. Except Mia has no way of knowing this, since she has no way about knowing about Morgan and Dahlia's plan to kill Maya, that Dahlia had a connection to the Fey Clan which would justify her involvement, or that she was even dead, and Maya never saw her attacker before she was saved by Godot. From the perspective of the Fey sisters, literally all that happened was that someone attempted to kill Maya, was killed by a third-party who rescued Maya, and the crime scene was cleaned up after the fact. However, it is heavily implied in all three games that Mia is "looking over" Maya and Phoenix (even appearing in pictures, albeit mostly for the player's benefit, and "summoning herself" into Maya when she feels they need her, with the knowledge of their current situation at the ready) and thus her knowledge isn't limited to what she experiences while being channelled. With Godot being her boyfriend, it also makes sense she might've been "checking in" on him after he woke up from his coma as well, thus learning of both Morgan's plan and Godot's counter-plan. |

Dub-Induced Plot Hole: In Case 2, when Godot first comes up, Atmey states that Edgeworth personally named him the best prosecutor in the country, yet, in Case 5, not only have the two not met, but Edgeworth states he's never even heard of him. This is the result of a translation error - the Japanese line is supposed to be a metaphorical remark stating Godot was now the "strongest" prosecutor with Edgeworth having left the country. However, this could still be interpreted as Atmey lying to intimidate Phoenix. |

Meaningful Name: Almost every character has a punny and/or meaningful name. Most of the examples are on the TV Tropes Ace Attorney character sheets. The Fey family's surname. The definitions of the word "fey" include: "appearing to be under a spell; marked by an apprehension of death, calamity, or evil" and "supernatural; unreal; enchanted." Mask☆DeMasque. He wears a mask and Ron DeLite just put masks over his name! |

Guide Dang It!: Accusing Godot of killing Misty Fey, seeing as, until then, there's been no hints whatsoever that he's was anywhere near the crime scene when the murder took place. You have only two things to go on: a single moment that happened at least two cases ago, and process of elimination, as the game makes it clear that the one you're looking for is a man by that point, and there are only four men in the Court Record, three of whom have alibis. |

Reclusive Artist: In-Universe. Elise Deauxnim is said to be a popular children's book author, but is so reclusive and mysterious that even the police have a hard time finding out any info on her. Turns out she's Misty Fey. |

Idiot Ball: In 3-4, Edgeworth presents a photograph of two people meeting on a bridge but can't deduce which person arrived first, even with one half of the bridge out. Franziska doesn't notice that a seven-bladed sword with blood only on its tip could not possibly be seamlessly removed after a stabbing, nevermind that the lack of blood further down the sword indicates that it was never inserted to the hilt to begin with in 3-5. |

Big Bad Ensemble: Dahlia Hawthorne and Godot are two Big Bads that fight each other. Dahlia's murderous ways that drive several of the cases and caused the other Big Bad into evil make her both a Big Bad and a Greater-Scope Villain. Godot's attempts to get misguided revenge by prosecuting only cases which Phoenix defends makes him another Big Bad. |

The plan to murder Maya Fey which gives way to the events of 3-5 involves three conspirators: Morgan Fey, the mastermind; Pearl Fey, the Unwitting Pawn; and the spirit of Dahlia Hawthorne, the intended material executor. Likewise, they are thwarted by three accomplices: Godot, Misty Fey, and Iris. |

Kaizo Trap: Godot sets up one in the first trial segment of Case 3-2. Managed to prove Ron DeLite couldn't have stolen the Sacred Urn by giving him a solid alibi? Good. Now you have invalidated his other alibi for a murder that happened to take place in the time and place Ron's alibi placed him in, something Godot clearly explained to Phoenix as he had Ron arrested while they were celebrating the acquittal. Ron knew that very well, which is why he wanted to be declared guilty of the theft he didn't commit to avoid being tried for a murder he didn't commit. |

Character Shilling |

comment |
Character Shilling: Right after the first trial in Case 2 ends, Phoenix declares that Godot is the most dangerous adversary he's ever faced... even though Godot doesn't do anything particularly remarkable when it comes to running the case — heck, both Edgeworth and Franziska employed a lot more in the way of underhanded tricks during their first trials against Phoenix, to say nothing of Manfred von Karma — and by his own admission had never prosecuted a case (much less successfully prosecuted one) before that day. About the only way he stands out as being especially dangerous at that point in the game is that he throws mugs of coffee at Phoenix when he gets annoyed. Subverted when Edgeworth returns in Case 5 and has no idea who Godot is. |

comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: At the beginning of Case 3-2, Phoenix easily gets Ron DeLite off a larceny charge by proving he was somewhere else... only for Godot to come up to him afterward, say there was a murder committed there, and haul Ron off into custody again. What, you thought it wouldn't be Always Murder? He was the thief in general, but not in that particular instance. He turned himself in to ensure he could have an alibi for the aforementioned murder. Phoenix was defending him because his wife told Nick he was a delusional fanboy. Thug begins a court case where Phoenix has to prove that his defendant is Mask☆DeMasque when the previous day he had just disproved it. |

Reverse Whodunnit: The first game in the series where the first case is not this, presumably because they didn't really need to assure players that the protagonist was innocent (and in a flashback no less). That said, the third case makes it very obvious through silouette early on that the fake Phoenix imposter is also the murderer, playing this more straight. |

Maya asks whether they'll find her doppelganger, "Ayam". As it turns out, they do, sort of, but the person they impersonate isn't Maya. Glen Elg, Lisa Basil (his boss) and Adam Mada (another Blue Screens employee) all have palindrome names. |

Ron DeLite wears a vivid green jacket/vest with a cape-like back. It has large, very dramatic cuffs near the hands. There are a large number of bright, gold-colored leaves going down the front of his costume. He keeps his very red hair in Princess Leia hair buns that occasionally spiral outward. He has a baby face and an effeminate appearance that would be considered attractive by Bishōnen standards. Even by animated character standards, he has a very expressive face that moves between expressions that show surprise/determination, uncertainty, and pouting/fear. He frequently shrieks loudly at people to get their attention. And we're supposed to believe that he has a hard time getting people to notice him. |

Artistic License – Art: In "The Stolen Turnabout", a throwaway line near the start has Maya comment on how cold it is in the basement, with Phoenix responding that it is because the space is air conditioned to protect the art being stored there. Temperature control is indeed an important part of art preservation, but in reality the ideal temperature for that purpose is around normal room temperature, not cold like what Maya suggests. |

What Happened to the Mouse? |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_863fa679 |
comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: Minor, but curious. At the end of Justice For All, Franziska von Karma says that she'll give the card with Maya's drawing of Phoenix to him the next time they meet. She doesn't. To be fair, however, the next time Phoenix and Franziska meet, it's during an extended emergency during which someone might or might not have died in a cold and snowy cave. It's possible the card simply slipped Franziska's mind during the chaos and confusion. She certainly wouldn't be the first person in the world who forgot something really important out of being overwhelmed by events. Despite being introduced as Phoenix's love interest, Iris is never mentioned again in the franchise. The fate of the Hawthorne family's diamond is never revealed. You never find "The Stolen Turnabout"'s murder weapon, or even learn what it was. Edgeworth and Franziska are notably absent from the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue, despite almost every major and supporting character from the trilogy (at least, the ones allied with Phoenix) getting a few lines tying up their stories. Franziska is at least mentioned in Adrian Andrews' outro, suggesting they've been spending some time together while Franziska was back in the country. Edgeworth isn't even referenced in the ending, leaving his final appearance in the trilogy as a fairly banal conversation with Phoenix about dinner plans. |

In the original Japanese version, the fifth and final case of Trials and Tribulations, "Bridge to Turnabout", was instead named 'Magnificent Turnabout(�麗�る逆転)', which is a pun on the word 'curry', which then is a reference to a clue in the case. But it's also a reference to Phoenix's line when he makes a Badass Boast to the killer, telling him that he will present the one piece of evidence that will take him down. |

Trials and Tribulations reveals why: the women-centered culture of Kurain Village has led to men ending their marriages once they feel sidelined in the village's affairs. Even Pearl's father left Kurain when she was very young, so Pearl is very invested in Maya having a happy relationship. |

The Framing Device for 3-4 and 3-1 is also set in the middle of 3-5; while in the hospital after falling off the bridge, Phoenix recalls 3-1 and checks Mia's old files for 3-4. |

Didn't Think This Through: Ron DeLite hiding Kane Bullard's body in his safe only incriminates himself even more, because he's one of the few people who knew how to open the safe. Not to mention the fact that he just moseyed on into a security company's headquarters wearing his Mask☆DeMasque outfit without even thinking once that someone might have been suspicious. Similarly, he got away from his first heist by hiding his Mask☆DeMasque costume in a trash can. |

Wham Episode |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_8e20979 |
comment |
Wham Episode: Two of them, actually! Case 4 introduces you to the real Godot and his interaction with Mia, shows the first murder of Dahlia Hawthorne, and sets up the setting of the next case, "Bridge to the Turnabout". This latter case is even more wham, with insane reveals left and right, resolution of the Dahlia x Phoenix relationship, resolution of the loose ends of DL-6 and Case 4, and old characters returning for the grand finale of the trilogy. |

"Blind Idiot" Translation: While the script has less overt editing compared to the last, the number of overt translation errors are far more egrigious. In particular, the final trial of the game is filled with multiple lines which aren't just nothing like the Japanese, but actively create entirely new plot points by complete accident: During the final investigation, Iris (or, rather, Dahlia impersonating Iris) states that she was involved in planning out the diamond theft plot from the backstory, but got cold feet and abandoned it. The Japanese however states she agreed to help, not actively planned out, and specifies that it was an older version of the plan than the one seen in flashbacks, explaining why her supposed involvement was never mentioned beforehand. During her cross-examination, Dahlia claims that her mother was originally to kill her as well, despite Dahlia already being on death row. The Japanese is actually a sardonic remark about how Morgan was so heartless as to incorporate her own daughter's execution into her Evil Plan from the very start. When explaining his efforts to stop Maya's assassination, Godot states that he got Iris involved so she could be the Fall Guy if he and Misty failed to stop Pearl. This is the complete opposite of what the Japanese says, which is that he got her involved because she was Morgan and Dahlia's intended scapegoat for the murder, as stated by Dahlia herself earlier in the same case. |

Big Bad Duumvirate: Dahlia serves as the main Big Bad of this game and is teamed up with Morgan Fey, a Greater-Scope Villain. Dahlia is also another Greater-Scope Villain since her evil against Diego Armando prompted his Face–Heel Turn into Godot, another Big Bad who seeks misguided vengeance against Phoenix, and Godot's actions that are unrelated to the Fey clan are proof that she is a Greater-Scope Villain. |

He also says that he's considered an annoyance at home. During the ending, the poor guy reveals that his grandchildren threw him a birthday party that made him so happy that he cried. |

Justified (and explained) in Investigations, where he solves a double murder in the courthouse on an earlier day that was supposed to be his court debut, earning Gumshoe's Undying Loyalty in the process by clearing Gumshoe's name. |

Interface Spoiler: In the beginning of Recipe for Turnabout, the first time Phoenix meets Jean Armstrong, after several topics of conversation, Psyche-Locks appear...and Phoenix notices the Magatama is missing. However, since evidence had to be presented to Armstrong to get to this point in the conversation, the player may have already noticed that it was missing from the Court Record. If you haven't already figured out her identity through Foreshadowing, once Elise Deauxnim's charm is stored in the Court Record as Kurain Master's Talisman it's pretty obvious that she's Misty Fey. Case 3-2 is the only case in the entire series where you can present the profile of the attorney you're playing as. As such, you may figure out that you have to present that profile at one point. |

Made of Iron: Phoenix chews up a glass bottle with poison residue with no ill effects, and later runs across an old, burning bridge and tumbles into the freezing cold rapids in February and only catches a cold. He also is repeatedly whipped by Franziska and has scalding hot (and one cold) coffee thrown on him by Godot, though both of these are Played for Laughs. It's a possible allusion to his extreme luck, both in and out of court. |

Dramatically Missing the Point: Pearl inadvertently gets her aunt killed because she's too innocent to understand Kurain family politics. So when her mother told her to do something "for the good of the Fey Clan", she does it thinking it's going to help her beloved cousin Maya... because she doesn't realize that Morgan was actually plotting to kill Maya so her branch family (what she meant by "the Fey clan") could become the main family. |

comment |
Infinite Supplies: Victor Kudo with his box of birdseed (lampshaded with ''infinite ammo code''). Godot has an apparently unlimited supply of coffee mugs. Rather than simply refill his empty mug, it disappears without explanation (always while the camera is elsewhere) and a brand-new mug comes sliding across the bench into his hand from off-screen. This is patently impossible, as there is never anyone besides Godot standing anywhere near the bench. That doesn't stop him from doing it several dozen times per trial. Presumably a bailiff could be getting these, but that's still a lot of coffee... |

| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_a1e5faab |
comment |
Doomed by Canon: "Turnabout Beginnings" has Mia going up against Miles Edgeworth on his first case as prosecutor, and it's been established previously that Edgeworth had a perfect record before the events of the first game. This doesn't leave much room for defendant Terry Fawles to be vindicated. Terry ends up committing suicide via poison while on the witness stand, leaving the case with no conclusion and thus not affecting Edgeworth's record. |

Rule of Three |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_a6cda066 |
comment |
Rule of Three: Unsurprisingly, this trope reoccurs several times in what is the third game in the series: You play as three defense attorneys over the course of the game: Phoenix (in cases 3-2, 3-3, and the second half of 3-5), Mia Fey (in the flashback cases 3-1 and 3-4), and Edgeworth (in the first half of 3-5). The second and last trial day of 3-5 takes place over three parts (instead of the usual 1 or 2). In the final trial segment, you have to present Godot's profile three times. The plan to murder Maya Fey which gives way to the events of 3-5 involves three conspirators: Morgan Fey, the mastermind; Pearl Fey, the Unwitting Pawn; and the spirit of Dahlia Hawthorne, the intended material executor. Likewise, they are thwarted by three accomplices: Godot, Misty Fey, and Iris. |

Motifs: All five cases, even the ones not directly connected to the Myth Arc, have one or more characters engaging in impersonation: 3-1: This seems Averted at the start, but at the end of 3-5 it's revealed that the "Dahlia Hawthorne" Phoenix knew as his girlfriend was actually her twin sister Iris, except for the time they first met in the courthouse and the day of the murder of Doug Swallow. 3-2: Luke Atmey impersonates Mask☆DeMasque in order to create an alibi for himself. 3-3: Furio Tigre impersonated Phoenix in court, as well as the victim after the real murder had occurred (while Viola Cadaverini played the role of Maggey Byrde) to create a false witness. 3-4: Dahlia Hawthorne impersonated the victim at the scene of the crime, and later pretends to be an innocent foreign student in court. 3-5: Dahlia (once again), first channeled by Misty Fey and then by Maya, remains under disguise as her twin Iris both during the night of the murder and the second day in court. |

Dramatic Irony |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_ab5eea65 |
comment |
Dramatic Irony: 3-4 has this in spades, due to it taking place before any other case up to that point in the series (including 3-1). Thanks to info about Edgeworth's perfect record in the first game, Dahlia's appearance in 3-1, and Mia's trauma about the case, we know something bad is going to happen, no matter how hopeful things might seem along the way. In response to Dahlia's gushing about Phoenix, Mia scoffs that to the rest of the world, he's "a dime a dozen". This is several years before Phoenix saves her sister's life, and probably the only time in the series that Mia is wrong about anything. |

Soundtrack Dissonance: Two music tracks reused from the previous game: Reminiscence ~ Steel Samurai's Ballad, the sad theme that played when Adrian Andrews talked about her pain regarding Celeste's suicide, as well as the bad ending, now plays when she confesses to breaking the Sacred Urn. Investigation ~ Core 2002 was quite an impactful track in JFA as it first played when Matt Engarde shows his true colors. In this game, it plays much more frequently in rather mundane moments (in comparison to its use in JFA), like when Mia mentions the poisoning in Case 1, when it's revealed Phoenix has a phony in Case 3, and when Larry's sketch is revealed in Case 5. |

Everyone Has Standards: Back in Case 3-4, Edgeworth was in full "Demon Prosecutor" mode, but when he sees that the defendant has been poisoned, he immediately calls for the trial to be stopped. Mia's ending narration also states that he was just as traumatized as she was by how everything turned out. |

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: The trial of the theft of the Sacred Urn is this for the prosecution (and Luke Atmey). Either way, Ron is in serious trouble since he's either guilty of stealing the urn or the prime suspect for the murder of his former boss, Kane Bullard, as it was impossible to clear charges for one of those crimes without implicating him in the other one. |

Tragic Villain: Godot. His plan to kill Misty Fey could have been entirely avoided had he just gone to Phoenix for help. But he hated both Phoenix and himself for failing to protect a woman in their lives. Godot's desire for revenge nearly gets Maya killed, and required Godot to kill Misty Fey to get what he wanted. Godot even admits his faults when Phoenix exposes his crimes. |

And they actually drink it. This particular coffee isn't poisoned, however, so too dumb to live or not, they do in fact live. |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_b77808f2 |
comment |
Edgeworth and Franziska are notably absent from the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue, despite almost every major and supporting character from the trilogy (at least, the ones allied with Phoenix) getting a few lines tying up their stories. Franziska is at least mentioned in Adrian Andrews' outro, suggesting they've been spending some time together while Franziska was back in the country. Edgeworth isn't even referenced in the ending, leaving his final appearance in the trilogy as a fairly banal conversation with Phoenix about dinner plans. |

Lost in Translation |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_b7920c43 |
comment |
Lost in Translation: The Tiger vs. Dragon theme between Ryuuichi and Furio Tigre is lost in the English translation because of Ryuuichi's name change to Phoenix. An important plot detail lost completely in the localization was that of Morgan's fate. While the reference to her early in Case 2 just states that she is serving a prison term in isolation in the English script, the Japanese directly translates to "...In a solitary cell, she waits for her punishment to be carried out..." ("‥‥刑務所�独房�� 刑�執行を待���る‥‥"), a description which heavily implies she is actually on death row awaiting execution. This causes her single scene in Case 5 to lose much of its meaning, as the mention of her "last wish" for Pearl to become Master coupled with the text turning red strongly insinuates these are her final thoughts before her death. In the ENG, Morgan instead seemingly vanishes from the story entirely despite being the direct instigator of the cases events. The explanation of Dahlia's Freudian Excuse is somewhat clearer in the Japanese. In the ENG, Iris says that "She was abandoned by our mother and never got any love from our father either." In the Japanese, however, the verb Iris uses is [見��られ�], which more closely means "thrown away and neglected", in reference to Morgan's treatment of the twins after they were found to be powerless. This frames Dahlia's actions as the result of prolonged Parental Neglect negatively affecting her personality over time rather than being the result of her parents' divorce, which makes Iris' continued sympathy for her come off as more believable. |

When Larry first shows the sketch of Iris flying over the bridge in Case 3-5, the judge claims that it's impossible. Franziska says that there's actually a precedent for it — she's referring to the "flying defendant" from Turnabout Big Top in the last game, Max Galactica. Of course, that was a cape attached to a statue, but still. |

Anti-Hero |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_beb9a361 |
comment |
Anti-Hero: Much like Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, almost every defendant is guilty of some crime, just not murder: In the first case, Phoenix commits perjury right off the bat, and later is guilty of attempted destruction of evidence by swallowing Dahlia's necklace. In the second case, Ron DeLite actually does turn out to have been Mask☆DeMasque all along, albeit he was the Unwitting Pawn of Luke Atmey. It's also justified why he never faces any consequences for this, as he gets acquitted of grand larceny during the case's first trial, meaning he can't be re-tried due to double jeopardy laws. Averted in the third case; Maggey Byrde really didn't commit any crimes whatsoever. In the fourth case, Terry Fawles wasn't guilty of murdering Dahlia or Valerie Hawthorne, as it turns out the former wasn't dead at all, and later killed Valerie herself. However, Terry was guilty of attempted extortion, breaking out of jail, and grand theft auto. In the fifth case, Iris is complicit in helping Godot cover up his killing of Elise Deuxnim/Misty Fey, which she gets tried and jailed for after the case. |

Fallen Hero: Godot. He was a brilliant defense attorney dating Mia until he was poisoned by Dahlia Hawthorne five years prior to the game's events. He entered a coma, and when he woke up, Mia was already dead. He also lost his hair color and vision (though he amends the latter thing by wearing, according to himself, horrible goggles). When he found out that Phoenix could have saved Mia if he had appeared in time at the crime scene, he decided to make his life a hell in court. |

Freudian Excuse |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_c868a42a |
comment |
The explanation of Dahlia's Freudian Excuse is somewhat clearer in the Japanese. In the ENG, Iris says that "She was abandoned by our mother and never got any love from our father either." In the Japanese, however, the verb Iris uses is [見��られ�], which more closely means "thrown away and neglected", in reference to Morgan's treatment of the twins after they were found to be powerless. This frames Dahlia's actions as the result of prolonged Parental Neglect negatively affecting her personality over time rather than being the result of her parents' divorce, which makes Iris' continued sympathy for her come off as more believable. |

Informed Ability Ron DeLite wears a vivid green jacket/vest with a cape-like back. It has large, very dramatic cuffs near the hands. There are a large number of bright, gold-colored leaves going down the front of his costume. He keeps his very red hair in Princess Leia hair buns that occasionally spiral outward. He has a baby face and an effeminate appearance that would be considered attractive by Bishōnen standards. Even by animated character standards, he has a very expressive face that moves between expressions that show surprise/determination, uncertainty, and pouting/fear. He frequently shrieks loudly at people to get their attention. And we're supposed to believe that he has a hard time getting people to notice him. The notoriety of Eagle River's swift current claiming anyone who falls into it. Through the course of the game, we find two people who ended up in the river (Dahlia Hawthorne and Phoenix Wright) and both of them lived to tell the tale (Dahlia emerges five years later after being in hiding and Phoenix simply ends up with a cold and minor bruising, enough to see him out of the hospital just a couple of days later). |

Developer's Foresight: By this point in the series it's been well established that presenting correct evidence causes any music playing at the time to stop, while incorrect evidence lets the music keep running with whomever you're presenting the evidence to shrug it off. Anyone who used this for save scumming are in for a rude awakening when the final presentation of evidence, an instant game over if you're wrong, deliberately ignores this and behaves as if you've presented the wrong piece of evidence with the music still playing and Godot having the same dialogue no matter what, only deviating after he's done talking if you're correct. |

Clothing-Concealed Injury |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_d2796e58 |
comment |
Clothing-Concealed Injury: In the climax, Phoenix figured out the real killer himself was attacked with a knife and therefore should have a wound on his body. However, at first glance, his suspect doesn't have any wounds. Not only that, he was still wearing the same clothes he wore during the murder, and they are still intact. Phoenix then realizes that the wound is under the killer's mask, a special prosthetic the killer always wears to see due to his damaged vision. At this point, Prosecutor Godot finally admits defeat upon being unmasked as the real culprit. |

Arc Welding: The finale connects Morgan's plot to overthrow Maya so Pearl becomes the head of the Fey Clan, previously seen in Justice For All; the quarrel between Mia and Dahlia, which was shown in this game's first and fourth cases; and Godot's projected grudge against Phoenix. All of these plotlines converge into a Gambit Pileup. Furthermore, Dahlia's Dark and Troubled Past is also indirectly connected to the DL-6 incident, which was That One Case throughout the main story of the first game. |

Red Herring |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_dbca2c99 |
comment |
Red Herring: At the start of 3-5, Gumshoe speculates that Godot is MIA because he heard that Phoenix won't be the defense attorney and thus lost interest. While this is completely reasonable based on what the player knows of the situation, it's really a smokescreen to prevent the player from suspecting Godot too early. The note written for Iris in the same case. While it initially seems like it'll part of a hugely important detail later on, since it asks Iris to come to Heavenly Hall unless she wants a secret to be revealed, it turns out it was actually written by Larry Butz, and he was under the false impression Iris was madly in love with him, which was the "secret". Plus, Iris never actually ended up going. |

Continuity Drift |
| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_de86b894 |
comment |
Continuity Drift: When Phoenix first meets Grossberg in the first game, they don't appear to know each other, but in this game, Grossberg was Mia's aide when she defended Phoenix. Even so, Grossberg doesn't appear to have the best memory anyway, since later in this same game, he has once again forgotten Phoenix and Maya's relation to Mia. Still odd that Phoenix does not recognize him. The first game has Phoenix recalling the class trial where Larry and Edgeworth stood up for him as an example of him being wrongfully accused of a crime he didn’t commit, which is why he can relate to Maya when she’s accused of Mia’s murder. This game shows that Phoenix himself was also framed for murder at some prior point, and met Mia when she defended him from that accusation. It is a bit odd in hindsight that Phoenix’s point of reference for understanding Maya’s first false murder accusation is the lunch money incident from childhood rather than the actual murder trial he went through. |

| | Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations (Visual Novel) / int_de9047ac |
comment |
Gambit Pileup: The final case. If it wasn't entirely resolved in the first two games, it's resolved here. Good grief. By the end of it, the player feels quite a bit like Phoenix, as they try to comprehend the following: the victim was actually Misty Fey, the result of her, Godot, and Iris' gambit to save Maya's life. Knowing that Morgan would try to take revenge, Godot listened in on her visits with Pearl, then tracked down Misty and set everything up. On top of Morgan's attempt (since JFA!) to kill Maya, lovely Miss Dahlia is running her own separate campaign to destroy Mia (who is already dead, but she doesn't care). And then, while all of this is being dropped on the player, Godot enacts his own mini-gambit in order to steer the trial to get himself convicted. |

Call-Forward: The first and fourth cases, being set in the past, include some references to events that happened in earlier games (which are chronologically set after them): In the first case, Phoenix mentions that, apart from Art, he's studying Law to save a friend (who is Edgeworth). In the fourth case, Edgeworth attempts to counter one of Mia's arguments by stating the Dusky Bridge map is outdated (just as he'd later do in Case 1-2 against Phoenix, involving an autopsy report). Later on, he shows he knew of "Melissa Foster" actually being Dahlia Hawthorne despite his previous attempts to excuse that there's no way to check her identity, not unlike what Manfred von Karma would do with Yanni Yogi in Case 1-4. |

Gameplay and Story Integration: Case 3-4 is Edgeworth's first case. As such, Manfred Von Karma's influence on him is still extremely apparent; not only does he pursue his 'win at any cost' philosophy, he also mimics Manfred's mannerisms and wears a red version of Manfred's jacket. |

Weapons-Grade Vocabulary: Particularly clever counterpoints apparently have the ability to hit opposing attorneys like a gale-force wind, throwing them back, making them flinch and, in one particularly devastating case, tearing all the hair off a person's head, leaving him mostly bald. |

Brain Bleach: Referenced in Case 3. At one point, Phoenix comments that a witness only saw the waitress from the back and "Even I could have been in that uniform!"; the judge asks that he refrain from putting those images in their heads. Later, Phoenix's response to seeing Jean Armstrong rub oil on himself (the player just sees a generic animation, thank God): "M-My eyes! My EYES!" And in Case 5, Sister Bikini. There's a good chance she actually does it on purpose. |

comment |
Exact Words: Godot's introduction as yet another undefeated prosecutor: The fourth case. Some players might remember that Edgeworth had never lost a trial before the events of the first game, and thus draw the conclusion that he's going to win here. Which makes it a genuinely surprising twist when the defendant dies in court, leaving the trial with no verdict. Edgeworth didn't lose, but he also didn't win. |

Big Damn Heroes: In the third case, in two occasions: first, Gumshoe enters in a fight against Don Tigre and Armstrong so Phoenix would keep a piece of evidence; second, Gumshoe bursts into the court with "Decisive Evidence" at the last minute! ...Which turns out to be fingerprints that became irrelevant no more than 2 minutes ago. Though it still serves to be the evidence that breaks the case. Lampshaded and then played straight in the fifth case when Phoenix runs across a burning bridge to try and save Maya. |

During her cross-examination, Dahlia claims that her mother was originally to kill her as well, despite Dahlia already being on death row.

You Shouldn't Know This Already: When trying to break "Iris"'s Psyche-Locks in the second investigation day of Case 5, what you have to present to break the last lock is a person that could have passed off as a second Iris when the murder happened. Even when Bikini tells Phoenix that Iris had a twin sister (that the player can quickly assume is Dahlia Hawthorne, and that the player can also assume she's already dead because they already know someone was channeled at the time of the crime), presenting the twin sister's profile will incur in a penalty until Edgeworth tells Phoenix that Dahlia is dead. |

In the next scene, we find that the judge who looked over the first half of the trial suddenly developed a cold and couldn't make it. |
