* In the credits sequence, Nahyuta feels concerned. [[spoiler:Because of having the difficult task of changing the entire Khura'in's law system? Nope. Because of his role as regent until Rayfa becomes able to channel spirits? Not that either]]. It's because Rayfa started calling him "Braid Head".

* Speaking to Datz reveals why the Defiant Dragons chose an episode of ''The Plumed Punisher'' to hijack the airwaves for their announcement: Because they wanted to spite the writers for using the show as propaganda against the rebellion, not because of its high ratings.

* In the epilogue, [[spoiler:Apollo finally opens his law office in Khura'in. But because his is the first law office to open in 23 years, and he is currently the only lawyer in the entire country, [[RealityEnsues requests for defense just keep pouring in.]] When we see Apollo in court, he is simultaneously handling 15 cases on his own, which caused him to not go through the autopsy report of his current case. And of course, the judge is not being sympathetic to him, and gives him another 16 cases from his friends and family. Nahyuta says that he has 10 more cases for him. As if that wasn't enough, Rayfa steps up and tells Apollo that she did a promotion run on her way to court and gave him ''over 300'' more cases that he has to do '''''[[UpToEleven for free]]'''''. This prompts Apollo to loudly yell '''''Objection!''''' in the courtroom.]]

* Ellen's "slipping into panic" animation is her throwing her roses behind her. Once, she does it with her frying pan-[[RealityEnsues causing a rather loud metallic clatter to echo through the visiting room]].

* [[spoiler:Dhurke]] telling Trucy stories of when [[spoiler:Apollo and Nahyuta]] were children, and their antics while growing up. He then treats Apollo a set of sushi-which was unchanged in the localization, making it amusing for those well-versed in the "[[Webcomic/AwkwardZombie Eat your hamburgers, Apollo]]" meme.

** Shortly afterwards, during the floating trick, the animation showcases [[spoiler:Bonny's hands holding Betty up. Leave the dialogue there long enough and Bonny's arms visibly shake as she begins straining to keep the trick going.]]

* When searching around in Trucy's bag for her notebook, Athena comes across [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar something else]]. She never ''confronts'' Trucy on it, but given her response is "You are BAD!" one has to wonder..

** And once you make Pees'lubn ''mad'', [[spoiler:the amps come out and he gets '''''metal'''''. His voice blips become ''guitar gallops''.]]
** The fact that once the above happens [[spoiler:everyone in the gallery still loves his metal music despite not hearing it before just because he's trash-talking Phoenix.]]

** The cherry on top of this is [[spoiler: the fact that he's '''III'''. That means that there have been ''two other people before him'' with this ridiculously long lampshade-laden PunnyName]].

* An optional conversation during the investigation of [[spoiler: Amara's Tomb]] has [[RunningGag grape juice]] appear again. Specifically, there was a bottle found at the scene, and Apollo theorizes that [[spoiler: ]] [[DrunkOnMilk drank some to calm down]] during the incident, before getting into a discussion about how it's [[ImplausibleDeniability definitely normal grape juice and not alcoholic in the slightest]], which Athena finds hard to believe. Essentially, this long-time aspect of the series is finally getting the LampshadeHanging treatment. (For those wondering, it has always been grape juice in the Japanese version as well)

* In front Minister 's house is an urn that fell over, spilling water everywhere. If you inspect it as Apollo, Athena insists it wasn't her fault, only for Apollo to InternalMonologue that the more plausible it is that she did something, the more aggressive she gets with her preemptive denials. If you inspect it as Phoenix, he immediately suspects Athena, which greatly disturbs Edgeworth.

** If you inspect 's house, Phoenix says that his flashy decor would suit Edgeworth. Edgeworth says that he would never be so ostentatious as to place a golden lion statue in front of his house.

--->'''Edgeworth:''' It's an outrage! Especially its theme song.
--->'''Phoenix:''' Moving along to things that actually matter...

*** Even funnier when you realise that at one point, [[spoiler:Edgeworth had to have his suitcase put through an X-ray machine at least once, leaving you wonder how Trucy didn't get spotted by airport security.]] Unless he worked around that.

** If you try to use Datz's laughter [[spoiler:rather than the explosion]] to try and prove that 's murder didn't happen at 3 P.M., Rayfa rebuts by saying that he could have been laughing like an idiot at 3 o'clock too.

* The reveal of Justice Minister 's [[IKnowYourTrueName full name]]: [[spoiler:[[OverlyLongName Karkhuul Haw'kohd Dis'nahm Bi'ahni Lawga Ormo Pohmpus Da'nit Ar'edi Iz Khura'in III]]]].

** The cherry on top of this is [[spoiler: the fact that he's '''III'''. That means that there have been ''two other people before him'' with this long-ass lampshade-laden PunnyName]].

* The VillainousBreakdown of [[spoiler:Paul Atishon. He imagines himself on TV, winning the election like he wanted, complete with the courtoom turning into a TV screen. As he cheers, his victory is yanked away from him due to his charges of murder, then he falls into the abyss. Cut back to the courtroom, where he's crying with a comically exaggerated expression not unlike [[VideoGame/StreetFighter Dan Hibiki's]], and he faints. Then for good measure, his treasured, long-abused placard finally gives up and crumbles to pieces]].

* After it's revealed that [[spoiler:you need to set the Founder's Orb on fire to activate it]], the Judge says "[[ICantBelieveImSayingThis I never thought I'd be saying this]], but you may burn the evidence."

* When one of the witnesses snaps, he starts insulting the "useless" prosecution AND the "idiotic" defense. The witness is much ruder to the prosecution for a change, but it [[BullyDragon predictably backfires]], [[spoiler: not least because he started acting much more suspicious there, something Edgeworth even points out]].

* Geriu's cross examination involves everyone calling Simon back to the stand, which pisses him off even more since he has to walk from the gallery to the witness stand every time.

-->'''Judge:''' Mr. Justice, you're putting your head in danger of meeting my gavel. ''[holds gavel up]''\\
-->'''Apollo:''' ''[sweats profusely]''

--'''Judge:''' Mr. Justice, you're putting your head in danger of meeting my gavel. ''[holds gavel up]''\\
--'''Apollo:''' ''[sweats profusely]''

* The very existence of Pees'lubn Andistan'dhin. He '''sings testimony.'''

* In front Minister Inga's house is an urn that fell over, spilling water everywhere. If you inspect it as Apollo, Athena insists it wasn't her fault, only for Apollo to InternalMonologue that the more plausible it is that she did something, the more aggressive she gets with her preemptive denials. If you inspect it as Phoenix, he immediately suspects Athena, which greatly disturbs Edgeworth.

* An optional conversation during the investigation of [[spoiler: Amara's Tomb]] has [[RunningGag grape juice]] appear again. Specifically, there was a bottle found at the scene, and Apollo theorizes that [[spoiler: Inga]] [[DrunkOnMilk drank some to calm down]] during the incident, before getting into a discussion about how it's [[ImplausibleDeniability definitely normal grape juice and not alcoholic in the slightest]], which Athena finds hard to believe. Essentially, this long-time aspect of the series is finally getting the LampshadeHanging treatment. (For those wondering, it has always been grape juice in the Japanese version as well)

* The reveal of Justice Minister Inga's [[IKnowYourTrueName full name]]: [[spoiler:[[OverlyLongName Inga Karkhuul Haw'kohd Dis'nahm Bi'ahni Lawga Ormo Pohmpus Da'nit Ar'edi Iz Khura'in III]]]].

* When one of the witnesses snaps, he starts insulting the "useless" prosecution AND the "idiotic" defense. The witness is much ruder to the prosecution for a change, but it [[BullyingADragon predictably backfires]], [[spoiler: not least because he started acting much more suspicious there, something Edgeworth even points out]].

* Meeting Sarge for the first time also ramps Apollo's ButtMonkey status to new heights as he is the first (and repeated) victim of Sarge's mini gatling gun! That's right, Apollo gets ''shot'' multiple times and it is ''hilarious''!

-->'''Apollo:''': (I don't know what's worse: the penalty, or their singing.)

* On a more meta note, [[http://www.capcom-unity.com/zeroobjections/blog/2016/10/01/one-grand-finale-weddings-rakugo-and-succession in the last of the developer blogs]], writer Masakazu Eguchi mentions he had trouble writing the script because one of the words kept getting misinterpreted. While he intended to write "kekkon" (marriage), the computer kept interpreting it as "kekkon" (bloodstain). That's quite the typo.
