Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Gyakuten Saiban 5 in Japan, lit. "Turnabout Trial 5") is the Nintendo 3DS installment of the Ace Attorney series of Visual Novels from Capcom. The game was released in Japan on July 24th, 2013, and was followed by releases in North America and Europe on October 24, 2013. An iOS version of the game was released in Japan on August 7, 2014, and in North America and Europe on August 14, 2014. An Android version came out on May 24, 2017.One year after the events of Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, the legal world is entering the seventh year of "the dark age of the law": a vicious cycle of false charges and forged evidence, where prosecutors and lawyers seek victory at any ethical cost and public trust in the courts is at an all-time low.The story follows three lawyers of the Wright Anything Agency: veteran Phoenix Wright, who has regained his badge after a long absence from the courtroom; his Hot-Blooded apprentice Apollo Justice; and newcomer Athena Cykes, an eager young rookie who uses analytical psychology to aid her cross-examinations.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Together they seek to dispel the corruption within the legal system and restore it to its rightful glory, a task that pits them against the new prosecutor on the block: Simon Blackquill, an infamous convicted murderer who uses psychological warfare to manipulate the courtroom.The game features a wealth of returning cast members and newcomers, along with the return of the Psyche Lock and Perceive mechanics from previous games. A new feature is Athena's Mood Matrix, where she analyses the statements of a witness and looks for any inconsistencies between their words and emotions.A sequel, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice, was released in 2016, also on 3DS.English and Japanese trailers can be viewed here and here.A character sheet for the whole series can be found here, and its own sub-section for Shout Outs here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); }) | |

Early in Case 1, Athena has flashbacks to appearing in court when she was younger, and the stress the nervousness she feels in court at times. This briefly resurfaces in case 3, where Aristotle Means gives her a Heroic B.S.O.D.. The full back story is revealed in case 5. | |

| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The game starts off with domestic terrorism and only gets worse from there. The series has always had a dark streak of course, but never so overtly. Prior games in the series have had a Teen (13+) rating from the ESRB. This game? Mature (17+), implying the presence of very dark content by this series' standards. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Or rather, never trust a playable demo. Unlike the demo, Apollo was going to defend Juniper for case one, but he was too injured, so Athena tries to step in. She's unable to deal with Gaspen, but luckily Phoenix steps in, and acts likes the veteran lawyer he is. Oh yeah, it also isn't his first trial since regaining his badge. Furthermore, in the earliest version of the demo, Apollo doesn't appear, as he wasn't confirmed to return yet, so Juniper's testimony revealed that she was saved by a guard. The trial with Miles Edgeworth is in the bombed courtroom, and not in the normal courtroom we saw in an earlier trailer. A rather large example that provides a huge shocker later on the game: The reveal trailer, episode intro, and general "THAT GUY'S GUILTY AS SIN", as well as the events in the first episode itself, all point to Ted Tonate being the courtroom bomber. He's not. The one who actually started the timer and thus detonated the bomb was the phantom, Fulbright (or the person you always thought was him anyway) in other words, and this fact isn't revealed until the final case. There was also the first trailer hinting that his motive was related to a possible grudge against lawyers, tying into the whole "Dark Age of the Law" theme. His motive was more mundane. He murdered the victim because he was caught trying take the bomb to collect and/or sell. | |

Reality Ensues | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_1d9a2764 | comment |
Reality Ensues: Three counts. First, after Phoenix and other defense attorneys spend years exposing prosecutors for playing dirty in court and for being outright criminals in several instances, the public finally learns the truth and the prosecutor's office is largely discredited. Second, someone has to pick up the pieces and both reform and rebuild the reputation of the prosecutors' office (which would be Chief Prosecutor Edgeworth's task) because they are a necessary part of the legal system, but they cannot be so if no one trusts them. Finally, both prosecutors and defense attorneys start taking an attitude of "do whatever it takes to win," since if they public doesn't trust them anyway, who cares what they think? This is Truth in Television, and a major part of the game that was Ripped from the Headlines. A few years prior to the game's release, the very extent of how dirty the Japanese courts were was exposed in a number of major cases. The most famous of these cases involved a suspect's innocence finally being proven after decades when it was revealed that the prosecutors had hidden crucial evidence, and forced a confession from him through methods that could be seen as Cold-Blooded Torture. And MOST suspects were treated this way. Which is why only a few years ago, things started to be changed within the Japanese legal world. | |

Couldn't Find a Pen | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_1f0c1d33 | comment |
Couldn't Find a Pen: A variant in Turnabout Countdown. When Apollo is found unconscious in the ruins of Courtroom No. 4, it appears he wrote the defendant's last name, "WOODS," in his own blood, thus implicating her as the attacker. However, Phoenix notes that Apollo didn't bleed enough for that much writing. He determines that Candice Arme wrote the ID number (L10015R) of her killer, Ted Tonate, in her own blood on the floor after he fatally struck her. Tonate covered the bloody writing before the bomb destroyed the courtroom; when Apollo discovered the writing during his own investigation, Tonate knocked him out and altered the ID number with Apollo's blood so it looked like "WOODS". (The final "R" was mostly destroyed in the explosion.) | |

Sequel Difficulty Drop: The puzzles and testimonies aren't terribly difficult to figure out and penalties are kept to a minimum of 20% (essentially 5 chances before a game over), though there are some bits of Moon Logic Puzzle here and there and there's one instance where penalties are doubled in weight. There's also the instance of the game letting you retry the last part you screwed up on that caused a game over and your life meter is fully restored to boot. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Almost none of the dangling questions from Apollo Justice are picked up on. The one plot point that is revisited (black Psyche-Locks) is more a case of clarification than new ground. The fact that Apollo and Trucy were revealed to be half-siblings is irrelevant here, because of how they are still kept in the dark about this and it is never mentioned anywhere in this installment, making this plotline to be an aversion of Late-Arrival Spoiler. One rather noticeable omission from as early as case 1 is the complete absence of the Jurist System (the judge passes the verdict himself like always), which was one of the more important outcomes of the conclusion of Apollo's game. While it would be silly to expect the entire legal system to be reformed within a year, no one even mentions the Jurist System or any effects the test trial may have had. See the Broken Aesop entry for Apollo Justice. If the bias discussed therein was figured out in-universe by the other jurors, it could have added to the public's ever-decreasing trust in the legal system during the "Dark Age of the Law" and caused the Jurist System to be rejected beyond its test run. The Jurist System was Ripped from the Headlines in Japan. Its absence probably derives from the fact that Japanese players interested about its diffusion just need to check at Real Life for information. | |

As the Good Book Says...: In "The Monstrous Turnabout", Blackquill says something that sounds like Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 when he knows that Apollo might lose the case with Damian Tenma. Also, Athena quotes 1 Timothy 6:10a upon the entire courtroom hearing the real story behind the "Tenma Taro" myth. | |

Mythology Gag: Apollo has two of them referencing back to his own game. In case 5 where Apollo testifies against Athena, he has a smirk pose that is eerily similar to how Kristoph Gavin smirked when he was being cross examined and felt confident in his testimony. Apollo also says "Evidence is everything", which is also a similar statement that Kristoph made. | |

Extremely Short Timespan | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_281de59f | comment |
Extremely Short Timespan: The first, fourth, and fifth cases all happen in the span of about four days (with the last trial day of the fourth and the whole fifth case happening in the same day; a LOT of stuff happens that day, let's just say). Also the whole game (DLC case included) happens within a single calendar year, which is a first for the main series.* Not counting flashbacks in case 4, the original (GBA, Japan only) release of the first game took place within a single calendar year, but the fifth case, exclusive to the Updated Re-release (DS, worldwide), takes place early in the following year. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: Whenever you present your attorney's badge, especially when it's to one of the other lawyers or to a character from a previous game. During the Case 3 investigation, if Athena presents Apollo with evidence that he doesn't have an opinion on, he'll say, "Yes! Nice one, Athena. Keep it up! I don't care if it's totally unrelated to the case or just plain annoying or even embarrassing. Just keep presenting evidence without any regard for others! That's the first step towards becoming a successful trial lawyer!" During the Case 5 investigation, if Phoenix presents Edgeworth with evidence that he doesn't have an opinion on, he'll say, "Wright... Please stop presenting random evidence just to see how that person will react." During the first cross-examination of Case 3, you are, in the usual fashion, required to press all of the witness's statements to continue. The Judge flat-out states, "I believe you've pressed the witness more than enough." When in case 5 you manage to get Athena a not guilty verdict, the Judge asks her to step away from the defense bench to the witness stand. | |

Smoking Gun: Near the end of case 5-4, Detective Fulbright finds a decisive evidence at the crime scene which turns out to be the killer's lighter that gets defendant acquitted for murder because the lighter doesn't contain any of the defendant's fingerprints. Too bad this evidence is what led to the Wham Line below. It turns out in Case 5-5 that the lighter is literally a "Smoking Gun." The lighter can transform into a .10 caliber (2.5 mm) pistol. | |

Hollywood Healing: Apollo sustains pretty severe injuries from the Courtroom Bombing, to the point that he momentarily passes out and is unable to defend Juniper in Case 1 (which takes place in the middle of Case 4), and as noted below, Cases 4, 1, and 5 are all the same case due to the lack of time between them. Nevertheless, Apollo conducts his own investigation into Clay's murder, then removes his bandages for the trial in case 5 and is perfectly fine with no signs of injury at all. He also doesn't sustain lasting damage from being hit hard over the head with a piece of rubble. | |

Then they find out that the evidence which clears their client's name points to Athena. Turnabout Reclaimed: Phoenix and Athena prove that their unusual client (i.e. an orca) is innocent. Yes!

Batman Gambit | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: The reason why Apollo chose to indict Athena for the murder of his best friend Clay Terran because he could not blindly believe that Athena was innocent. This is partly due to the fact that the decisive evidence had Athena's fingerprints on it, but more importantly, he was a Living Lie Detector and sensed that Athena lied about never having seen the murder weapon, as well as almost everything in the Space Center before. It got to the point where he had to purposely handicap one of his eyes by covering it up with bandages, since it was virtually impossible for him to believe that Athena was innocent, and every time she said something false, it was making him twitch like crazy. However, he knows that if anyone can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Athena is innocent and find the true killer at the same time, it'll be Phoenix Wright. This comes up a few times in Case 2. Firstly, Filch takes advantage of the village superstitions to get away with thievery while wearing a Tenma Taro costume; since the superstitions dictate anyone who sees Tenma Taro cannot tell others about it, he was effectively invisible. Secondly, L'Belle relies on Jinxie's knowledge of wrestling to disguise himself as her father. She considers a wrestler's true identity Serious Business, and removing the mask would be equivalent to killing the character. This enables him to wear the Great Nine Tails mask to pose as her father despite looking nothing like him, as she would never dare remove the mask herself. Case 5 explains why a convict is allowed to be a prosecutor, and it's due to this trope. | |

Video Game 3D Leap | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_396be241 | comment |
Video Game 3D Leap: The games on the Nintendo DS only used 3D for examining specific pieces of evidence. Here, the characters and the scenery are fully polygonal. It's only a presentation upgrade, as the game plays mostly the same (and even for the most part avoids the 3D examination of evidence that was typical in "Rise from the Ashes" and Apollo Justice), although crime scene investigations are more dynamic. The developers stated that they actually trimmed out the natural transitions that are more possible with 3D models over 2D sprites in order to maintain the feel of Ace Attorney (so characters will cut between different animation cycles abruptly just as if they were the 2D sprites of olde). | |

Something Completely Different | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_3b4773de | comment |
Something Completely Different: Case 4 is highly unusual. First, it begins in the courtroom with Apollo and Athena instead of having an investigation phase beforehand, a feature normally associated with the first case in each game (with Apollo wearing an eye patch even though he is not injured yet and with exception to 3-4, but that's a whole different case once again). Second, the case is abruptly cut short by Case 1's courtroom bombing, only to resume after Case 1 took place. The trial days are non-consecutive. Third, the case has Solomon Starbuck acquitted without having another suspect convicted of the crime, for the first time ever in the series. Of course, the identity of the killer is found out in Case 5. Case 5-1 is the first starter case that spans over two days sessions. Case 5-5 is the first case with only one day of both investigations and trial. The DLC Case is the first case with no murderer. (The victim's death was an accident.) | |

Foregone Conclusion: Once Episode Four starts, you'll realize this is the trial that gets interrupted by the courtroom bombing, so you know Apollo won't get to exonerate his client. The job will be left up to Phoenix. The result of case three has to work out for Juniper in the end because she is the defendant from the first case, which happens after the third case, chronologically. | |

At the start of Case 4, Apollo is already using his bandaged sprite, despite the fact that the courtroom bombing, which we were led to believe caused the injury that he was suffering from, hasn't happened yet. This isn't an error. Apollo bandaged his eye even though he wasn't injured in order to block out his Living Lie Detector ability because it was telling him that Athena was suspicious. | |

Musical Nod | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_3e24cb38 | comment |
Musical Nod: Phoenix's Objection Theme for Dual Destinies is a remix of "Objection! 2004" from "Trials & Tribulations", the last main series game with Phoenix as the main protagonist. Incidentally, both games share the same composer. Apollo's Objection Theme for Dual Destinies is a remix of "A New Trial is in Session!", which was the Objection Theme for the previous game in the main series, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, as well as a nod to this part from his theme in the Gyakuten Meets Orchestra album, also sharing the same composer as the first two songs above. The Perceive System theme is carried over from Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. Note that in that game it was actually just a slowed-down version of the normal testimony theme. The new Psyche-Lock theme starts off quite similarly to Justice For All's Kurain Village theme. | |

Broken Aesop | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: "Turnabout Academy" makes a great deal of how wrong it is to think that the end justifies the means. You get to prove in court that it's better to only use legitimate means to reach the truth instead of breaking the law to get your way. And then, in "Turnabout for Tomorrow", two lives are saved by kidnapping several people and threatening to kill one of the hostages, proving that sometimes drastic, horrible things must be done to right wrongs. In a series-wide example, nearly every game has moments that favour the "Ends Justify the Means" mentality. Phoenix can come off as a bit hypocritical for condemning it when you remember he only cleared his name in the last game by forging evidence in one trial and rigging the jury in another, and the Investigations games also had a pretty heavy theme about the law not always being sufficient, and needing to go above or around it to find the truth; the "ends" are different, but the basic philosophy is always the same. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_420c50b7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Discussed humorously in Case 4, where Wright expresses some worry about a robot uprising and Aura's tampering with Clonco causes him to express such things. Then in Case 5, a Hostage Situation occurs from what seems like a robot uprising, but Wright figures out it is really Aura behind the scheme. Aura herself points out later on that the notion her robots are acting hostile without command from a central source is silly. The fact that the "Ponco and Clonco Series Robots" have some large flaws in their A.I. is used as a case point in the final trial. The real killer in the UR-1 Incident used a mask to cover his face, and wore the victim's jacket. If someone's key facial features are covered up, then the robots rely on the ID tags on staff member jackets to ID who they're talking to. Because the victim was already dead, Ponco's heartbeat detection system also only showed that there were two people in the room. | |

When the phantom, AKA "Bobby Fulbright", tries to hack into the Mood Matrix and Blackquill sics Taka on him. | |

Advertised Extra: Klavier appears on several pieces of promotional artwork but his only role is a fairly minor appearance in the third case. He offers a few helpful moments but is generally inconsequential. Trucy and Pearl, who also appear in promotional images, are borderline examples (both of them play larger, more frequent roles than Klavier but compared to their previous uses in the series they are both much less prominent than before). | |

There Are No Psychologists: Discussed. Athena's use of psychology in the courtroom allows the player to see some of each character's eccentricities for what they really are: repressed psychological trauma. The fact that the legal system in the previous games didn't use such specialists leads the phantom to tell Athena that such use of psychological tactics is inherently underhanded, especially in the Dark Age of the Law. | |

It's played with, as Blackquill immediately shoots this down, and successive masks are revealed. Earlier on, The Cosmic Turnabout begins with the case Apollo was defending just before the courtroom bombing. One of the first things shown in the courtroom at the beginning of the trial is Apollo, who already has the eyepatch that the player was led to believe he got from the courtroom bombing along with the rest of his injuries. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: A big change in the series, compared to all other games in the Ace Attorney franchise. Although you still have a life bar that decreases with judge penalties, after the judge renders the guilty verdict, you can choose to continue, where you pick up shortly before you receive the "killing" penalty. Not only that, resuming in this fashion completely heals the life bar. Previous games forced the played to load up a save game and continue through one whole section without having the life bar deplete. Like the first and fourth games, the life bar is restored to full between checkpoints. That is until Case 5 and a certain part of the DLC case. See Non-Standard Game Over below. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Furthermore, as of this game, Manfred Von Karma's actions all the way back in the DL-6 incident regarding his plan for revenge against Gregory Edgeworth have backfired spectacularly. Manfred's idea of the ultimate revenge against him for giving him his one and only penalty in his 40 year long career was to murder him, adopt his son, and raise him to be a cold, cruel, ruthlessly efficient prosecutor who would do anything to get a guilty verdict, essentially making Miles the antithesis of everything that Gregory stood for. Not only did Miles grow out of that by the events of the first game, but now Manfred Von Karma is responsible for raising the man who worked behind the scenes (which he could only do in the first place because he became a prosecutor, defense attorneys don't work for the state and can't get any legal authority no matter how successful they are) to ensure the end of the Dark Age Of The Law, also known as the age of everything Manfred stood for. | |

Always Murder | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_518de95b | comment |
Always Murder: As expected. Even though the first case is a bombing of a courtroom, a woman named Candice Arme is found dead in the aftermath. The bombing wasn't what killed her, though; her body was moved to make it look like she died there. This is actually done as a reveal twist in the full game. In the demo, the only crime on trial was the actual bombing, and the incident report outright stated that no one died. Then in the actual game, almost everything is different, including the fact that Candice Arme's murder is also on trial. Averted, however, in the DLC case, in which all the deaths are purely accidental. | |

Bookends: Chronologically speaking, the first case (The Monstrous Turnabout) and the last case (Turnabout For Tomorrow) both take place in Courtroom No. 4. Also, chronologically speaking, Bobby Fulbright (or the man masquerading as him), the first witness for the first case (The Monstrous Turnabout) is the Big Bad and the last witness for the last case (Turnabout For Tomorrow) as well. The first cinematic ends with a shot of the moon through Apollo's eyes. The Stinger of the game's credits has Starbuck going to the moon as Phoenix, Apollo, and Athena watch at the space station. The Phony Phanty doll is one of the first and last pieces of evidence presented. The Dark Age of the Law started with the false conviction of Phoenix Wright for evidence forgery, followed by Simon Blackquill's false conviction for murder a year later. It ended with Phoenix's exoneration for the forgery charges and Blackquill's exoneration for the murder a year later. | |

Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers! | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_53c37f0c | comment |
Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers!: Dual Destinies is, paradoxically, one of the darkest and most optimistic games in the series. Some plot points - such as the courtroom bombing, a complete lack of Asshole Victims and a particular suggestion from Edgeworth in the final case - are among the darkest in the franchise, but the protagonists themselves are incredibly idealistic and actively decry more cynical notions. This is especially surprising for Phoenix, seeing as he was an Unscrupulous Hero in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. | |

Nostalgia Level: The investigation phase of Case 5 is one to the original trilogy, as it has Phoenix and Pearl investigating the space center and Phoenix and Edgeworth later squaring off in a trial. | |

Juniper, Robin, and Hugh are respectively black/yellow, red, and blue due to their school uniforms. The statues on the stage for the school festival had Phoenix Wright in blue and Klavier Gavin in red. A white statue of Lady Justice is also found in the wreckage. | |

Inconsistent Dub | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_5b607875 | comment |
Inconsistent Dub: The beginning of Episode 4 opens with a shot from Earth. While they did bother making it look like it was showing America while it zooms in, if you look closely before it starts doing so, it's possible to see that the satellites were hovering over a firmly lit part of Eastern Asia, not America. In the beginning of Episode 4, the space centre's name over the entrance is its Japanese name - Oghawara Space Center - rather than the dub's name - Cosmos Space Center. The inconsistency is easier to see in Edgeworth's intro cutscene but is still easy to miss as players may be more focused on Edgeworth's return. In the iOS version, one of the thumbnails in the Illustration section shows a Japanese newspaper cutout covering the HAT-1 launch. However, the correct English artwork is displayed when one taps on the thumbnail. | |

Spanner in the Works | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_60194b82 | comment |
Spanner in the Works: Interestingly enough, Ted Tonate fits this for BOTH the protagonists and the phantom, unintentionally in both cases. His murder of Candice Arme made Phoenix's investigation into Clay's murder much more difficult (as the more reliable of the two witnesses who had discovered the scene was dead) but his actions in Turnabout Countdown (namely warning the courtroom about the bomb, which he did not set) prevented the phantom from killing off Blackquill, Athena and Apollo (and by extension the Judge, possibly Junie and a good number of innocent bystanders)in his attempt to destroy evidence. Not bad for the incredibly obvious villain of the tutorial case. Athena Cykes was ALSO this for the phantom seven years earlier. By attacking him with the utility knife, she got his blood on the moon rock, forcing him to dispose of it by placing it in the Hope Capsule. This, in turn, led to him having to kill Clay Terran in order to recover the rock, setting off the events of cases 4, 5 and 1. The second case also features a spanner in the form of one eyewitness. Florent L'Belle's entire scheme to steal a gold ingot from the Forbidden Chamber took months of planning, lying, backstabbing, manipulation and murder — a plan so intricate that Apollo lampshades how insanely complicated it all is — is undone because Phineas Filch was bored and decided to sneak into the Forbidden Chamber for fun. | |

Sequel Hook | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: The series' "Where Are They Now?" Epilogues generally feature the characters delivering soliloquies (i.e. they are expressing their thoughts aloud directly to the audience). However, Blackquill's segment features him speaking to a silent first-person character who is looking to have the Wright Anything Agency defend their father in court. And of course, the group or rival government that the phantom works for (whoever they might be) is still out there untouched. | |

Apollo can still use his bracelet to pinpoint abnormal body movements when certain words are spoken yet is used mostly outside court, due to Blackquill using Taka to break his concentration the first time Apollo tries to use it in court. | |

Interface Screw | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_66f763c0 | comment |
Interface Screw: Invoked. When a witness displays an extreme emotion during the Mood Matrix sequences, it covers up their other emotions, making it hard to pinpoint what they feel during certain parts of their testimony. You're then tasked with finding out what is causing the extreme emotion. This is taken to its logical extreme with Blackquill's sequence, which has all four emotions going haywire at once. You not only have to figure out what's triggering it, but also which specific emotion it's triggering. The phantom posing as Bobby Fulbright pulls off two variations of the trope during the Mood Matrix sequence; he attempts to use a hacking device to throw off the noise level readings until Simon stops him from doing so. The spy then controls his emotions so that the Mood Matrix displays all four emotions at random intervals and intensities in hopes that you can't gauge his true feelings. Of course, this doesn't work completely. | |

Serious Business | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_6b35bdff | comment |
This comes up a few times in Case 2. Firstly, Filch takes advantage of the village superstitions to get away with thievery while wearing a Tenma Taro costume; since the superstitions dictate anyone who sees Tenma Taro cannot tell others about it, he was effectively invisible. Secondly, L'Belle relies on Jinxie's knowledge of wrestling to disguise himself as her father. She considers a wrestler's true identity Serious Business, and removing the mask would be equivalent to killing the character. This enables him to wear the Great Nine Tails mask to pose as her father despite looking nothing like him, as she would never dare remove the mask herself. | |

Aside from the words in text balloons such as the OBJECTIONS! there are several Big "NO!" moments, as well as "That can't be TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE". Big Word Shout is a series staple. Also, at particularly dramatic moments, the "Objection!" shout will have an extended effect where the letters fly onto the screen one at a time from the front. | |

Florent L'Belle's frequently changing hair color. Except that he uses hair dyes to cover his graying hair. Exposing the truth about his hair color is what finally links him to the murder. Solomon Starbuck, who has no fewer than 3 colours, and all seem to be natural. | |

Try Everything | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_74ede509 | comment |
Try Everything: The Magatama and Mood Matrix don't carry the risk of incurring penalties, and the latter especially can be difficult to work out through logic alone (doubly so for Fulbright/the phantom's Mood Matrix session, which has all four emotions pulsing intermittently), making guessing a likely strategy. | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_76a5eaf8 | comment |
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Some think this about Athena. While she herself is a fairly realistic (in the Ace Attorney universe) and likable character, some think she gets way too much plot focus. While she's only the lead defense attorney for one of the five cases in the game, and while both Phoenix and Apollo get their own chances to shine too, it can't be denied that she is more heavily-connected to the game's overall story arc than either of them, with the final challenge essentially being to prove her innocence. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: It turns out that when you expose prosecutors as corrupt; put away the chief of police for murder, forging evidence, and blackmail; and continually point out that the legal system is broken as hell...people stop trusting in the legal system, and the lawyers and prosecutors take that as carte blanche to do whatever they want, as long as they win.

Background Music Override: Athena's theme, Courtroom Revolutionnaire, plays over a Mood Matrix segment in the final case. It's very fitting, as Athena is examining Bobby Fulbright with it to show that he expresses no emotions in his voice, exactly matching Dr. Metis Cykes' psychological profile on the phantom.Even better, Prosecutor Blackquill had just used psychological manipulation to trick the phantom into issuing a falsely emotional confession, and Athena caught on to his ruse and listened for emotions that weren't there. | |

He's Back: After a game worth of trying to Break the Cutie, Apollo sheds his doubts and bandages to finally join Phoenix Wright in court for the first time since Apollo's first case in 4-1. Phoenix. The man, the myth, the legend, returns to the courtroom after seven long years. Notable in that he famously returns to the courtroom: after four games where he literally gets zero respect, his return to the legal profession in this game is lauded in the legal profession, and he's also shown a great deal of respect from his peers and law students, and credited with many successes in the legal world. It seems that after clearing up his disbarment, people have finally realized that he's an amazing defense attorney. The only people who don't respect him are ultimately bad guys. | |

Air Vent Escape: Subverted in "The Monstrous Turnabout". The air vent is presented early on as a possible means for the killer to have escaped the locked room, or at least used it to drop the key into the room. It turns out to be a Red Herring in the end, but it still buys the defense some time to investigate further. | |

Right for the Wrong Reasons | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_83cef301 | comment |
Right for the Wrong Reasons: In case 2, nobody's supposed to go into the Forbidden Chamber because an evil demon named "Tenma Taro" is locked inside. The characters speculate whether this is superstition or the real deal. It's superstition, there is no demon. There is, however, a gold ingot named "Tenma Taro"; the last time inhabitants of this village saw it, they greedily fought over the gold as if there were a demon around. This is the real reason for the Forbidden Chamber and all of the town's superstitions. Interestingly, the player gets to experience this in case 1. As is standard practice for the series, the culprit is revealed in the opening sequence of the case and this time is no different...however what he's guilty of is a different matter. The game leads the player to think that the guy they're looking at bombed the courtroom and killed a detective...when in reality all he did was the latter and not as a result of the explosion (simply striking her over the head with a defused bomb and then planting her body in such a way to imply she died in the blast). The bombing is a result of a different incident that he simply capitalized on. So yes to being guilty but not quite as the game would have you believe on first glance. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni: Robin Newman and Hugh O'Connor, as red and blue respectively. Oddly enough, Robin is studying to become a prosecutor whilst Hugh is studying to become a defense attorney. It's also pretty clear that nothing "happened" to Edgeworth during Apollo Justice; he just wasn't a trial prosecutor any more so he didn't appear in the story. He and Phoenix seem to have been in fairly close contact. | |

| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_870bbf64 | comment |
Show, Don't Tell: The so-called "Dark Age of the Law", for being mentioned all the time, really is not shown all that well. Sure, we get to learn that there's some obvious corruption going on in a prominent lawyer academy, but that aside, the shenanigans involving forged evidence, deception, corruption and wrong judgments have all been shown in previous games, arguably even moreso than in this one, since only two pieces of genuinely, intentionally forged evidence are shown in this game, making one wonder how the current times are worse than the past. There are some problems with this in the first case, too. Instead of showing us Juniper is terrified, letting her words and actions speak for themselves, Athena hammers it in that she's terrified (of Payne, of the courtroom itself, and the memory). Which would be fine, except Fear doesn't override her testimony, even though Athena implicitly states that "her heart is crying out" in terror thanks to the memory of the bombing. | |

Denser and Wackier: Despite also being Darker and Edgier, this game also manages to be this towards the rest of the series. Particularly evident in the second case that involves the following things: a municipal merger between two towns, professional wrestling, and ancient Japanese spirits in a single plot. The DLC case has Phoenix defending a killer whale and the last two cases involve Cute Machines as witnesses. The Villainous Breakdowns are more elaborate now involving events like someone spraying themself silly with perfume or a Segway scooter going haywire and crashing into everything in the courtroom. | |

Non-Standard Game Over: A couple, triggered by running out of health during certain testimonies.

Aura vanishes with the hostages (including Trucy), Athena leaves the agency, Apollo is completely broken by the events, and Phoenix gives up being a lawyer. In case 5, getting a game over on Fulbright's final testimony results in Athena and Simon getting off the hook, but the phantom getting away clean and the failure to bring him to justice causing public opinion towards the law to sink even lower. In case 5, getting a game over in one of the two forced questions has Aura kidnap Athena. In Turnabout Reclaimed, getting a game over during Rimes' Mood Matrix segment results in Orla being found guilty in Buckler's place and being put down. | |

The Tape Knew You Would Say That: Ends up happening during Case 3, when playing back Professor Means' speech in court. Or rather, it's a case of "The Tape Knew You Would Fall Asleep." | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: A meta example: One of the demos for the game turned out to be radically different from what actually happened in the case that the demo was based off of. As it turns out in the final game, not only does the first case not (initially) have Phoenix as the main defense attorney, but the case in Case 1 is not his first case as a returning attorney (that would be the DLC case, Turnabout Reclaimed). In Case 1, Gaspen asks Juniper if she had ever been accused of a crime before. She's the defendant in Case 3, which is a prequel. Early in Case 1, Athena has flashbacks to appearing in court when she was younger, and the stress the nervousness she feels in court at times. This briefly resurfaces in case 3, where Aristotle Means gives her a Heroic B.S.O.D.. The full back story is revealed in case 5. Whenever Fulbright clenches his right hand, it looks like his veins are pulsing through his gloves, or maybe even a cartoonish "angry" symbol, but it's very likely that it's the outline of the scar from when Athena stabbed him. In Case 2, Bobby Fulbright is assigned to escort Blackquill to court because he’s too oblivious to be afraid of him. Turns out? That’s just a cover—Fulbright, a.k.a. the phantom, can’t feel fear at all. The Ponco and Clonco series robots have the same exact set of emoticon faces and beeping "speech" as Widget. This and the fact that Ponco recognized Athena without introduction foreshadows the fact that Athena has a past connection to the Space Center. At one point during case 3, Prosecutor Blackquill chastises Athena, claiming that "The person you'd like to save more than anyone else" might not actually desire her defense. He's talking about himself. At the start of Case 4, Apollo is already using his bandaged sprite, despite the fact that the courtroom bombing, which we were led to believe caused the injury that he was suffering from, hasn't happened yet. This isn't an error. Apollo bandaged his eye even though he wasn't injured in order to block out his Living Lie Detector ability because it was telling him that Athena was suspicious. In case 4, Phoenix warns Athena that if she touches the fingerprint scanner, she'll be labeled as a suspect. As it turns out, Athena gets accused of killing Clay Terran because her fingerprints are supposedly on the lighter the culprit was seen holding. Maya sends Phoenix a letter, claiming to have heard that he'd "[held a] trial in the middle of an exploding courtroom". While he doesn't hold a trial in an exploding courtroom, he does participate in the trial held in the exploded courtroom later on in the same case. The first time Jinxie runs into Bobby Fullbright she shrieks "ghost!" and sticks him with one of her warding charms. This is pretty standard Jinxie behaviour, except that she usually thinks strange people are demons or yokai, not ghosts. But that's not a mistake - because what's another word for ghost? Phantom. Also, the real Bobby Fullbright is dead. Early in case 3, Aristotle Means warns Athena that her insistence on sticking to fair and honest means in court will cost her everything she's worked so hard for. This comes off as a genuine attempt to sway her to his ends-means policy, but his words haunt her for the rest of the case. This foreshadows two things: that Means was actually trying to break her spirit (because he's the killer), and that Athena had a very specific reason for pursuing a legal career. During Case 3, Bobby compares a clock at a crime scene with his own watch, deeming it accurate...only for Athena to point out his watch has stopped. Looks like the organisation that gave the Phantom a watch which can hack into computers forgot to make it tell time. In the intro, you can see Apollo gripping a small object, then looks at the moon from the blown-out ceiling. This is likely the piece of moon rock that went missing due to being mistaken for a bomb part. | |

In case 5-2, examining the air vent in the Fox Chamber on the 2nd day of investigation will have Athena and Apollo discuss the (step)ladder Athena brought in order to examine the vent shaft. Athena's on team stepladder, of course, since it was established in the previous game that Apollo was team ladder. | |

We Should Get Another Tape: This question never even remotely occurs to Professor Means, who uses the same exact tape which had his recorded speech to record Juniper's outburst during the mock trial. Because he did this, remnants of his speech remained on the audio of the tape, directly indicating that he tried to frame Juniper for the murder. | |

It's Personal: One of the murder victims in the game is Apollo's childhood friend, and the other friend (Athena) is accused for the murder. Athena's motivation for defending Juniper (they were Childhood Friends). Hell, Athena's motivation for becoming a lawyer (saving another old friend). Blackquill's request to be the prosecutor for the final part of case 5. He wants to be there to watch as the phantom, the cause of all his suffering, is proven guilty. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: With the amount of snatch-thivery Phineas Filch has carried out throughout 5-2, it's surprising he's not trialed and jailed yet (as he is still walking free in the Where Are They Now epilogue). At the very least, he seemed to have been fired since he's no longer allowed in Kyubi Manor. Myriam, Robin and Hugh all perjure themselves on the witness stand and suffer no consequences for it. Mind you, that's nothing new for this series but it's noticeable here because Themis Legal Academy expels students who have committed any crime no matter how minor. The organization or government that the phantom worked for and the sniper who shot him never get any comeuppance either, and it's never even revealed who they are. | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain!: The phantom would have gotten away with it had they not introduced the Earth lighter into evidence with the intent of framing Athena. Towards the end, the fact that this evidence had been forged (by simply lying about whose fingerprints were on it, something that was very easy to check) was the only proof of any wrongdoing on this part, as the rest of the defense's case was just another one of Phoenix's conjecture-laden theories. Phineas Filch's grandfather also did this by stealing the gold ingot that everyone in Nine-Tails Vale were fighting over, removing the reason for the superstition needed to keep people from seeking the gold ingot. | |

Immediate Sequel: Cases 4 and 5 are unique among the franchise as they are, for all intents and purposes, a single case (they both deal with the same murder, although case 5 adds a second murder into the mix that is connected to case 4's). There is no separation of time between them and case 5 picks up as if it were just the next investigation segment following a trial segment (you also retain the same evidence you had at the end of case 4). | |

In-universe example: in the DLC case "Turnabout Reclaimed", in which the Shipshape Aquarium from a year ago had a rough and tumble type 1 pirate crew, turning into the more romanticized Type 2 Swashbuckler Spectacular where it's Heroic Pirate vs Villainous Pirate. The reason why it got Light and Softer is because a year ago is when Orla supposedly killed Azura, therefore Jack Shipley probably thought it was best to help the Aquarium's image by becoming Lighter and Softer | |

During Case 3, Bobby compares a clock at a crime scene with his own watch, deeming it accurate...only for Athena to point out his watch has stopped. Looks like the organisation that gave the Phantom a watch which can hack into computers forgot to make it tell time. | |

Amoral Attorney | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_b5b3599d | comment |
Amoral Attorney: As a consequence of years of exposing corrupt prosecutors and ethical violations in the police department, the legal system now spawns these characters like never before. Public trust in the legal system is at an all-time low, as forged evidence and fake testimony is commonplace. "The ends justify the means" is a philosophy taught at a law school. The proliferation of these tactics results in the so-called Dark Age of the Law, where both sides will do anything to win, and the truth is ultimately lost. Notably, the lawyers at the Wright Anything Agency refuse to do anything more than expose the truth and believe in their clients, proving that the legal system works when it's used properly, and Edgeworth as chief prosecutor is on a mission to reform the prosecutor's office, and actually asks Phoenix with proving the innocence of Simon Blackquill in an effort to end the Dark Age of the Law (in the opening anime cutscene). | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Averted; after the mixed reception he had in his own game, Apollo is still a playable protagonist. However, Athena seems to be taking the role that Maya, Pearl, and Trucy took in the earlier games. Trucy and Pearl are shown to appear at points but in an obviously less important capacity. In case 3, Athena is the protagonist and Apollo plays the role of the sidekick. Of note, this is only the third time a male has played the sidekick role in the primary game series, after Marvin Grossberg in 3-1, "Turnabout Memories", and Diego Armando in 3-4, "Turnabout Beginnings". Both of those cases, though, were flashbacks to Mia Fey as a lawyer with trials but no investigation. After case 2, Trucy only appears in Wright Anything Agency during investigations, and appears to take care of things while Phoenix and company are out. Justified due to Trucy going to high school and running her magic show, which leaves her with almost no free time. Maya appears in a flashback, Klavier is only present in case 3 and Ema does not appear at all, though Trucy references her obliquely in the DLC. Pearl Fey appears briefly in case 5, though she also appears in the DLC case. | |

In this game the status quo ante has been restored and the guilty parties in the trials all but gloat about how they're about to get away with murder because you don't have the evidence to put them away. | |

Irony | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: Blackquill being derisive about O'Connor and his ploy (as well as that of Newman) to be found guilty of murder in Juniper's place becomes this when you learn he did the exact same thing to protect Athena. Furthermore, as of this game, Manfred Von Karma's actions all the way back in the DL-6 incident regarding his plan for revenge against Gregory Edgeworth have backfired spectacularly. Manfred's idea of the ultimate revenge against him for giving him his one and only penalty in his 40 year long career was to murder him, adopt his son, and raise him to be a cold, cruel, ruthlessly efficient prosecutor who would do anything to get a guilty verdict, essentially making Miles the antithesis of everything that Gregory stood for. Not only did Miles grow out of that by the events of the first game, but now Manfred Von Karma is responsible for raising the man who worked behind the scenes (which he could only do in the first place because he became a prosecutor, defense attorneys don't work for the state and can't get any legal authority no matter how successful they are) to ensure the end of the Dark Age Of The Law, also known as the age of everything Manfred stood for. | |

Supporting Protagonist: Despite his name being the supertitle once again, Phoenix Wright fits this as his role doesn't always matter much to the order of events. Apollo Justice is playable in case 2 and 4 (only half of it) while Phoenix himself is the playable attorney in the first case (taking over from Athena, who suffers a mental breakdown before the trial starts), case 4 after Apollo bows out, case 5, and the DLC case. The story itself is more concerned with Apollo and, despite only being playable in the third case, Athena (who is likely considered the true protagonist of Dual Destinies). | |

| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: In-universe example: in the DLC case "Turnabout Reclaimed", in which the Shipshape Aquarium from a year ago had a rough and tumble type 1 pirate crew, turning into the more romanticized Type 2 Swashbuckler Spectacular where it's Heroic Pirate vs Villainous Pirate. The reason why it got Light and Softer is because a year ago is when Orla supposedly killed Azura, therefore Jack Shipley probably thought it was best to help the Aquarium's image by becoming Lighter and Softer The entire DLC case is this compared to most cases in the series. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Phoenix and even the Judge during the last case beg Edgeworth not to accuse Athena of murdering her own mother when she was a little girl, knowing full well how she would react. Edgeworth does it anyway for the sake of the truth, which causes Phoenix to question him. More specifically: They beg Edgeworth not to suggest that an eleven year old girl tried to dismember her mother to cover up her crime. The murder itself had already been unpleasant to drag up, but this mental image was too horrifying for all parties. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: The developers did some tweaking to avert the Try Everything nature of past games by adding a checklist of things to do during investigation and the Consult option during cross-examinations that becomes available if you take 3 penalties during a single examination: using it makes your partner point out the false statement, although you still need to figure out what piece of evidence matches up to it. Furthermore, if you use it when you need to do something else than present evidence to advance (such as picking the right additional statement to add to the testimony), it greys out your "present" option until you do so. Also, if you should accidentally run out of health, you can just retry from the beginning of the same cross-examination with full life as opposed to forcing you to restart from your last save with whatever amount of life you had at that point like in the previous games. For the first time in the series, you can go to any point in the map wherever you are instead of having to go to certain locations to get to others. During the investigation phases, any items that can be examined will make your cursor glow red, and areas you haven't looked over will have your cursor marked with a circle and it turns into a checkmark once that area has been looked over, which helps prevent Pixel Hunting. At certain points, the game will just discard evidence that's not needed anymore, reducing clutter. Sometimes, it's explained, like returning sentimental items or things disappearing through a magic trick, and other times, they'll just say "time to organize my stuff and take out everything I don't need". | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here!: Gaspen Payne's reaction to Ted Tonate threatening the court with a bomb. He doesn't come back, not even for Juniper's "Not Guilty" verdict. Payne does it again in the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue when he finds out that he's in huge trouble with the Chief Prosecutor for badgering the witness. Edgeworth doesn't let him get away. Blackquill does the same thing, if more exasperated than the other example, in case 3. This was after hearing that Athena was going to use Mood Matrix on the guy that just claimed he used a body double in a live mock trial in front of hundreds of people to commit a crime. Also unlike Payne, he comes back once he thinks the stupidity has died down. He also attempts to try this later on in the same case when Aristotle Means gets serious but Fulbright prevents him from leaving. | |

Anime Hair | |

Anime Hair: Nearly every character qualifies, but Solomon Starbuck is by far the worst offender, having Multicolored Hair of red and white, styled to form a rocket, yet has a brown soul patch beard. | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Reasonable Authority Figure: Edgeworth as Chief Prosecutor. He helps reinstate Phoenix and acquit Blackquill, allows Aura to see her brother again when it's all over, and raises no objections to Apollo's I-have-to-know-the-truth outburst — in fact, he joins Phoenix and the Judge afterward in saying that it was exactly the right thing to do. It's strongly implied that he wants to do more, but he has to be very careful to do everything legally in order to show that the court can be trusted. | |

Locked Room Mystery | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_dcaa8b35 | comment |
The Monstrous Turnabout shares a great deal of similarity with Case 3-2, the Stolen Turnabout. Both are alleged locked room mysteries, both involve theft as a goal of the real killer, both killers don the secret masked identity of the defendant in order to frame the defendant and give themselves an alibi and they both resemble Batman villains (the Penguin for Atmey and the Joker for L'Belle); their quirks have them the opposite of what they physically resemble (Atmey and his insane sad clown confessions vs L'Belle's ridiculously convoluted plot. They both have similar leitmotifs and similar arrogant, Attention Whore personalities, both have Verbal Tics that affect everyone around them, and both were blackmailing the defendant, and there was blackmail between the victim and the killer as well, though in one case the killer was doing the blackmailing and in the other, it was the victim. Both of their downfalls was related to their arrogance. Both defendants were knocked out by the real killer, both defendants have secret identities with distinctive masks, both of them also have the weirder mood swings of the non-killers (Quiet and mild Ron vs his Mask☆DeMasque personality vs Damien Tenma and Tenma Taro). Both have a great fear of deeply disappointing the most important women in their lives, and both are very polite despite their loud personalities, both actively try to get convicted (Ron to avoid the murder charge and Tenma to avoid Jinxie being accused). In addition, the solution to The Monstrous Turnabout is exactly the same as a previous case, 2-2. Both feature the killer getting the defendant and victim in a locked room, disabling the defendant and hiding them in a hidden part of the room before killing the victim and impersonating the defendant to get a witness, after which they put the defendant back where they should have been and escaped. Also, both involve relatively secluded settlements with significant Japanese culture. | |

Expressive Accessory | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_de328285 | comment |
Expressive Accessory: Athena's gadget buddy Widget, when not used, will reveal her emotions. This also happens when she has the Mood Matrix open—check the color of the holographic interface. The colors are green for joy, red for anger, dark blue for fear and sadness, and yellow for shock. Light blue is neutral, and when Widget's screen goes completely dead and turns black, it means Athena is experiencing Heroic B.S.O.D.. If you keep an eye on Widget whenever Athena is on-screen, you'll notice that she'll sometimes try to act like she's feeling one thing (via her pose and dialogue) while Widget will reveal what she's actually feeling. There's a reason that Athena has a reputation for being transparent. Sometimes Widget will even speak Athena's thoughts aloud. The box that Myriam Scuttlebutt wears will sweat when she's nervous. Ted Tonate's protective headgear will sweat when it's obscuring his face while he's nervous. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole Plot Reference: The UR-1 incident, aka the murder of Metis Cykes, is very similar to the DL-6 incident, aka the murder of Gregory Edgeworth. Both victims' children were witnesses to those murders, became deeply traumatized by the events and subconsciously locked their memories of those incidents away. Those cases became major scandals among the legal world. Years later, murders related to those cases occur, and those children are arrested for being prime suspects, and subsequently led to believe that they murdered their parents. When they were just kids. To add a huge dose of irony, Miles Edgeworth, son of the DL-6 victim, even publicly accuses Athena Cykes, Metis' daughter, of killing her mother. Phoenix Wright ends up defending both of them, and deduces that they didn't kill their parents, but injured the true killers. Those injuries would also lead to the downfall and conviction of both killers. To a lesser extent, it's also reminiscent of SL-9—specifically, Simon Blackquill's role in UR-1. Simon mistakenly believed that Athena—just a child at the time, 11 years old—had killed her mother, so he framed himself for it in order to protect her. Likewise, Lana Skye—like Blackquill, a prosecutor, though at the time she was a detective—saw a situation in which she believed her 13-year-old sister had killed someone and as such, participated in a frame-up, and two years later attempted to take the fall for a crime she didn't commit in order to continue protecting her sister. Similarly, the DLC case has a number of similarities to case 2-3; both cases involve the culprits intending to take revenge for a death (or in 2-3's case, an unwakable coma) allegedly caused by an animal, but the plot inadvertently results in the death of their boss whom they respected. Both "villains" are portrayed sympathetically. The Monstrous Turnabout shares a great deal of similarity with Case 3-2, the Stolen Turnabout. Both are alleged locked room mysteries, both involve theft as a goal of the real killer, both killers don the secret masked identity of the defendant in order to frame the defendant and give themselves an alibi and they both resemble Batman villains (the Penguin for Atmey and the Joker for L'Belle); their quirks have them the opposite of what they physically resemble (Atmey and his insane sad clown confessions vs L'Belle's ridiculously convoluted plot.

Ambiguously Gay: Robin likes pretty dresses. Which is subverted because she's a girl pretending to be a boy as per her parent's commands. Even less ambiguous is Aura towards Metis, as evident by her quote "Shut up, Simon! You know exactly how I felt about her! Her respect as a co-worker wasn’t all that I wanted!" Florent L'Belle states repeatedly that he's a very personal assistant to Damian Tenma. | |

Protective Charm: Jinxie Tenma has a lot of them in her arsenal. She believes they will protect her from the dangerous yokais living in Nine-Tails Vale. Her father has tons of them pasted all over his head because he says they restrain his inner demon Tenma Taro (a yokai). Jinxie even stamps a charm on Apollo's forehead because she thinks Apollo's a demon lawyer. This one becomes a Running Gag, as the charm is dropped and replaced periodically, unluckily for Apollo. | |

Determinator: Apollo refuses to give up (though he occasionally needs encouragement when things look bleak), Athena quickly learns from her peers that giving up is unacceptable, and Phoenix remains unflappable in the face of impossible odds. The best example is in the DLC case, when both Orla and Sasha are about to get not guilty verdicts, Phoenix objects to the trial ending because blame has fallen on Marlon Rimes, who is confessing to the murder. Because Phoenix knows that Marlon didn't kill Jack Shipley, he refuses to let the trial end until he's proven that as well. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_e83f211c | comment |
Let's see... Athena's mother was killed in front of her when she was 11, and her courtroom pleas for Simon Blackquill's innocence went unheard, leading her to travel abroad in order to become an attorney as quickly as possible to overturn his conviction and sentence. Simon himself was convicted and sentenced to death, and comes within one day of his execution date before his case is retried. In the present, Apollo's best friend is murdered, causing him to want vengeance on the killer... whom he suspects might be Athena. Meanwhile, the defendant, Solomon Starbuck, Apollo's friend's mentor and a famous astronaut, is completely despondent as well as frightened about going back into space. During the trial, a bomb goes off, injuring Apollo, who is then knocked out during the subsequent bombing trial. The emotional burden causes Apollo to burst out in anger before taking a leave from the Wright Anything Agency... then, Athena gets arrested for both murders, causing her to relive the emotional trauma from 7 years ago, and Phoenix is forced to defend her with his daughter Trucy's life at stake. All during the Dark Age of the Law, where the public has no trust in the legal system. At the end, the real culprit is in custody, Simon is free, Trucy is safe, Solomon makes it back into space, and the agency is intact, ready to put an end to the Dark Age of the Law. | |

This might be foreshadowing that the phantom is only playing dumb to fit the fulbright character, and lower the suspicions/expectations of those around him. | |

The truth is he's actually the wrestler Nine Tails and had no interest in the city merger going through. Simon Blackquill, the prosecutor who was arrested for murder, seems like the typical villainous antagonist in the series, if not a bit more serious in that he is currently behind bars. He was framed for murder years ago, and accepted this role in part to protect Athena. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: Let's see... Athena's mother was killed in front of her when she was 11, and her courtroom pleas for Simon Blackquill's innocence went unheard, leading her to travel abroad in order to become an attorney as quickly as possible to overturn his conviction and sentence. Simon himself was convicted and sentenced to death, and comes within one day of his execution date before his case is retried. In the present, Apollo's best friend is murdered, causing him to want vengeance on the killer... whom he suspects might be Athena. Meanwhile, the defendant, Solomon Starbuck, Apollo's friend's mentor and a famous astronaut, is completely despondent as well as frightened about going back into space. During the trial, a bomb goes off, injuring Apollo, who is then knocked out during the subsequent bombing trial. The emotional burden causes Apollo to burst out in anger before taking a leave from the Wright Anything Agency... then, Athena gets arrested for both murders, causing her to relive the emotional trauma from 7 years ago, and Phoenix is forced to defend her with his daughter Trucy's life at stake. All during the Dark Age of the Law, where the public has no trust in the legal system. At the end, the real culprit is in custody, Simon is free, Trucy is safe, Solomon makes it back into space, and the agency is intact, ready to put an end to the Dark Age of the Law. The DLC case "Turnabout Reclaimed" has one of the most uplifting endings in the entire series. Chief of all, despite being the true antagonist of the case, Marlon Rimes is not the guilty party in Jack Shipley's death and in fact attempted to save his life. Shipley died because he fell into a pool Marlon had drained to take revenge on Orla for supposedly killing his girlfriend Azura a year ago. Shipley had rushed to the scene to try to talk him out of it but slipped and fell in, with Marlon attempting to pull him up but failing because Shipley didn't want to drag him down into the pool. However Marlon is informed that the orca wasn't even responsible for his girlfriend's death, which actually came about due to heart failure during a performance (a condition Sasha Buckler also has and is treated for by the end of the case). This in turn helps Phoenix work out that the orca from the previous incident was not the same due to different behavioral and physical evidence, which leads to the discovery that the original "Ora Shipley" was the current orca's (Orla) sister and was put down due to being perceived as Azura's killer. So Rimes ends up realizing his revenge against the orca was meaningless and decides to change his life for the better, with Sasha welcoming him back to the aquarium with open arms after serving time for perjuring himself on the stand. However, what's more is the other orca isn't even dead! Shipley and the aquarium's doctor had been housing it offsite to make it look like they killed it at the request of the authorities and now that everything is cleared up, the aquarium brings her back to join her sister at the end of the case (Marlon is also out of jail by this point and now portraying Redstache in the Swashbuckler Spectacular, assuming the late Jack Shipley's role). Furthermore the animal monitoring system Dr. Crab had been using was legalized through Norma DePlume's advocacy, allowing him to use it freely without having to hide it any longer. Ace Attorney cases typically end well for the defendant but with a bittersweet reminder of what happened. This time, everything works out for the best (aside from Shipley's death, of course) and life at the Shipshape Aquarium could even be said to be better than ever. | |

Primary-Color Champion: Looked at as a gestalt, the three player-characters form this. Phoenix is the blue aspect, Apollo the red aspect, Athena the yellow aspect. | |

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: Unlike every other case in the series up to this point, "Turnabout for Tomorrow" isn't tried in the standard courtroom setting. Due to circumstances beyond the characters' control, it's tried in the ruins of Courtroom No. 4. | |

Running Gag: In case 5-2, examining the air vent in the Fox Chamber on the 2nd day of investigation will have Athena and Apollo discuss the (step)ladder Athena brought in order to examine the vent shaft. Athena's on team stepladder, of course, since it was established in the previous game that Apollo was team ladder. Trucy brings up her "magic panties" almost every time she appears. | |

You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious | |
| Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies (Visual Novel) / int_feaf5424 | comment |
You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious: Blackquill invents insulting nicknames for almost everyone he encounters (though see under Worthy Opponent). The only people he ever calls by their real names are Aura (his older sister), Edgeworth (his boss and possible mentor, whom he has much respect for), and Athena and her deceased mother, Dr. Metis Cykes, due to his past with them. During Case 5 when he is giving his Mood Matrix testimony, however, Blackquill snarls and curses Phoenix's full name... twice! It's a big hint Phoenix is finally demolishing all of Blackquill's defenses and close to unlocking his darkest secrets. And in fact, Phoenix is. Blackquill yells "Curse you, Phoenix Wright!" in pain, despair, and anger... right before he reveals that he saw, with his own eyes, Athena covered in her mother's blood all those years ago, trying to "fix" her. | |

Shown Their Work: This analysis shows that the game did a pretty accurate portrayal of sensitive hearing, in regards to Athena Cykes. Most notable instances are, the headphones that gave her headaches but actually were dampening her ability through specific frequencies and how Athena covers her ears when suffering sensory overload. Even Athena's detection of discord in the human voice fits. | |

Fauxshadow: In Turnabout Reclaimed, Athena frequently mentions that, while she can't understand Orla's speech, she can sense her emotions. You'd think this hints that you'd have to Mood Matrix her eventually. Though Orla is cross-examined later, you don't use the Mood Matrix on her. | |
