** On a related note, this is something that the culprit says in Justice for All's fourth case: "[[spoiler: I had no interest in doing it, really, but bit by bit, it crept up on me. And then the situation just presented itself perfectly... 'How beautiful,' I thought. Let me tell you something. I'm not like [weak people]. I don't depend on anyone. People are simply things to be used. Used and thrown away. Put on a sweet, innocent face, and people will swallow anything you feed them. Adrian fell for it. That assasin, too. Oh, and how can I forget. Even you fell for it, Mister Lawyer! Everyone, all working their butts off for me! Aww, did that leave you speechless? What a shame.]]" Remind anyone of a certain character in Trials and Tribulations?

** It's implied that [[spoiler:Manfred von Karma was executed for his crimes]] so I guess it's pretty much the same thing for both families.

** FridgeBrillance: The reason for why Justice For All lacked a single case that was integral to the whole story is in the name itself: [[ThisIsSparta JUSTICE. FOR. ALL.]] This game was all about defending the innocent, discovering the truth and above all, upholding justice for people from all walks of life and not a single case which Phoenix, Apollo or Edgeworth have some personal stake in. Similarly, the third game was about the challenges both Phoenix and Mia faced in their respective cases (Mia with College!Phoenix and Terry; Phoenix with Ron Delite and Maggie) leading up to the final victory against Dahlia.

* FridgeBrilliance: It may seem like FridgeLogic when unlucky Maggey Byrde fell from her 9th story apartment as a baby and ''[[BeyondTheImpossible survived]]''. Seems like that would make her ''extremely lucky'', right? But then it hits you: by surviving, the rest of her life basically became a ''living hell''. Guess sometimes you really are [[FateWorseThanDeath better off dead]]. [[spoiler:She is the defendant for case 3-3.]]

* The reason Edgeworth's fingerprints were the only ones on the gun from the boat in case 4 is because [[spoiler: the other person who fired it had no fingerprints.]]

** OBJECTION!!! What about [[spoiler: Ami]] Fey? (P.S.: Sorry, but dealing with Ace Attorney, this Troper can't help but saying any of the 6 basic phrases [[spoiler: In case you're wondering, they're Objection, Hold It, Take That, Gotcha, Eureka and Not so Fast]]).

*** This one isn't really a Fridge Briliance if you think about it. It's stated clearly sevreal times during the case that the crash caused a HUGE fire and that the fire made "identifing the body almost impossible". That's why they thought that the body was that [[spoiler:of Mimi's when it was acually Ini's]]. After all Ini [[spoiler:or rather Mimi posing as he]] was burned bad enough to need extreme plastic surgery that [[spoiler:caused her whole face to turn into that of another person's]]. The body probably was burnt alot and harded by the soot of the fire therefore, it would have been very difficult, if impossible, to test her for drugs.

** Sort of a Reverse Teargjerker, but considering Edgeworth's past... this is probably the ''only childish thing he's been able to enjoy''.

* Though I think it to be one of the best games I've ever played, Justice for All is the least acclaimed game in the Ace Attorney Series. I couldn't figure out why, until I realized: [[spoiler: part of what made all of the other games in the series great was the fact that they all had ''one'' single case (DL-6, the Dusky Bridge staged kidnapping, Magnifi Gramarye's deat, KG-8) that all of the cases in them were tied to somehow, usually with an exception or two. However, none of the cases in Justice for All are related to each other, or any previous murders.
** This, of course, doesn't change the fact that the cases didn't all form a very poetic story. Justice for All only lacked the satisfactory moment where you brought closure to a HUGE event, and this ended up being to its reputation's detriment.

Take moments specific to ''[[Fridge/{{ptitle11hpolf2}} Apollo Justice]]'' or ''[[Fridge/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Investigations]]'' to those pages, please.

** [[spoiler: After the psyche-unlock, the part where she says "my sister always does the right thing" is even more laughable once you know that it's a stealth boast rather than naïveté. The part where she tearfully admits to betraying her sister is actually a harsh accusation that Iris betrayed her - which the hypocrite may be using as her internal justification for having just locked her sister inside a freezing and unstable cavern. When she tells her sob story about how after the diamond theft, Dahlia was "destined" to be trapped into doing the things that lead to her execution (even though Dahlia actually had several times when she could have limited bloodshed without putting herself in much danger), it's her 100th attempt at winning sympathy. When she talks about how Dahlia stole the diamond for revenge because their dad treated their mom badly, she's explaining and trying to justify herself.]]

** One: Why was it up to speculation whether Mimi Mini was drugged? Couldn't they have run a drug test on her body? [[Spoiler: They couldn't. It wasn't Mimi's body. Even if Mimi was drugged, Ini wasn't and would turn up clean in the test.]]
