* FridgeHorror: When Yumihiko [[spoiler: finally confronts his father in court during the final case, Bansai]] actually ''leaves the witness stand'' to approach him, suggesting Yumihiko wants to "play" and that the two of them should go home. He's trembling and is ''TERRIFIED'' when [[spoiler:his father]] says this with Yumihiko's actual moving sprite going backwards. [[spoiler: Bansai's]] sprite even approaches him when Yumihiko tries to weakly fight back. If it weren't for Edgeworth demanding that he get back on the witness stand so the trial could continue, Yumihiko might have broken down [[spoiler: again]], but the implication is very obvious.

* The relationship between a parent and child (natural or adopted) is a very large theme of AAI2, to the point that it's an oddity when a major character has no direct ties along those lines. So when Tyrell Badd serves as the detective in the third case's flashbacks, despite the case having almost no relevance to the events of the first ''Investigations'' or anyone we met in that game, the best conclusion is simultaneously more indirect and heartwarming. In short, he's the closest thing the series has to a father figure for Dick Gumshoe.

* Palaeno becoming [[spoiler: the Ambassador of the reunited Cohdopia makes sense if you think about it. While it's true that Ambassador Alba was fired and arrested, Allebhast could still appoint a new ambassador to the position. After all, so much fuss was made over the statues and the right to rule that is offered by them, and Palaeno openly admitted to Edgeworth that their statue is fake. The two statues were to be examined that day to determine which was genuine, and whichever nation had the genuine statue would have the right to rule a reformed Cohdopia. But that's just it: Babahl didn't have the fake statue anymore. Alba's manipulations left the true statue on Babahl's side, so when the two statues were examined, ''Babahl'' would be the one granted rulership rights. Ironically enough, Alba's murder of Manny Coachen and desperate bid to conceal evidence of his smuggling ultimately wound up accomplishing what Coachen was trying to do in the first place: steal Allebhast's statue for Babahl.]]

*** This troper thinks that Fransizka consider's the von Karma name to be above her father's ways. While she isen't the BEST person in the world (she's upset at losing, she conceals testimonies ect) she probably had no idea beforehand that her father forged evidence and made illegal deals to win cases. I believe that going this far to win was above even Fransizka, as evidence when she says that a von Karma should never break the law. Also, she acually at one point states her disgust at how "attornies defend criminals". To this troper at least, this represents how Franziska ACUALLY DOES what the truth to be found but she is in denial. When it turns out her version of events are wrong, she still wants to think that the true killer is the defendant even with evidence pilled agaisnt that fact. Not because she wants a guilty verdict (although it's stated serveal times she does her job to solely get guilty verdicts, this is probably her niaveness talking and she thinks that all those who are arrested are arrested because they are guilty) but because she dosen't want to think that she's made a mistake in her accusations.
