----
* From the demo:
-->'''Phoenix''': Project confidence... [[Music/TheLonelyIsland like a boss!]]
* At one point Simon Blackquill is called "[[Manga/BlackJack Mr. Black Jack]]". His design can also bring the eponymous doctor to mind.
** He is also called [[WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw Mr. Birdman]]. Obviously, he doesn't take too kindly to the comparison.
* At the end of the third case, Athena says Myriam Scuttlebutt, a character that sneaks around in a cardboard box, has "got this [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid tactical espionage action]] stuff down to a science".
** Scuttlebutt is a walking ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'' reference, from her introduction ("I hope it's not a SNAAAAAAAAAKE!") to her trademark snake-hiss laugh.
** They also make reference to the "!" alert from those games.
* During the first trial, Ted Tonate drops this:
-->'''Tonate''': Boom! [[VideoGame/SegaRally Game over! Yeaaah!]]
* In the second trial, the murder weapon on first glance bears a striking resemblance to [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Yuna's summoning staff]].
* When Athena stumbles upon the dead body in Case 3, Phoenix remarks that she turned five shades of pale... but he was expecting [[Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey fifty]].
* A former pro wrestler becoming the head of a community. [[VideoGame/FinalFight Not the first time]] in a Capcom series.
** Also, [[spoiler:a wrestler and mayor who is very much a PapaWolf]].
** Athena later suggests to Apollo that he should also become a pro wrestler and adopt the moniker of [[VideoGame/GargoylesQuest The Amazing Firebrand]].
* While in court, Florent L'Belle's green hair dye job combined with his pale skin, purple suit, and cologne-spraying flower makes him [[PracticallyJoker look a lot like]] ComicBook/TheJoker. His expressions and mannerisms are especially reminiscent of the incarnation from ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns''.
** However, said purple suit combined with his normal sculpted blonde hair and the fact that he owns a line of cosmetics suggest that he may also be based on a certain other comic book villain: [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Adrian Veidt]].]]
* This bit when Filch is under suspicion of having been at the crime scene (And he never told anybody.)
-->'''Blackquill''': You FOOL [[Film/TheLordOfTheRingsTheFellowshipOfTheRing of a tanuki]]!
** Supported when he later still refers to him as a [[Film/TheHobbit tricksy little tanuki]].
* In case 2, when examining the prints and feathers on the floor:
-->'''Athena:''' They're pretty big tracks, almost bird-like. The feathers also point to a bird.\\
'''Apollo:''' Then it must be one big bird! And not of the [[Series/SesameStreet friendly yellow type]], either!
* Someone circled a pro wrestling match in the newspaper in case 2.
-->'''Tenma Town Pro Wrestling "Howlin' Wolf vs. [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Pretty Boy Vampire]]"''' Blow-by-blow commentary by Timothy Literature/{{Twilight}}.
** The person who circled it also notes that [[TakeThat "It was a complete disaster."]]
* After Athena lies about being creeped out by the Forbidden Chamber Apollo thinks to himself that [[Franchise/StarWars "The denial is strong in this one"]].
* Trucy suggests that Phoenix and Apollo form a comedy team called Agni & Rudra. This could be a reference to the names of the two ultimate dragons in the first ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireI'', or two bosses from the third ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry''.
** Or more likely a reference to the two Hindu gods, Agni and Rudra, which the video games are also referencing.
* When using Athena's Mood Matrix for the first time in case 2 to pinpoint an unexpected emotion, if you pick the wrong emotion, Athena's [[WaxingLyrical ensuing dialogue]] to Apollo is the first few lyrics of [[Music/PinkFloyd Comfortably Numb]].
* In case 4's trial:
-->'''Phoenix:''' (As long as they don't [[Manga/SailorMoon punish us in the name of said moon]] for what we've done for it...)
* In trial 5, the witness requests getting [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic banished to the moon]] after being constantly caught lying in the court.
* Another from 5-3: Athena tells us that "all that's left now is to [[{{VideoGame/Persona 4}} reach out to the truth]]".
* When told about how the memory of the robots isn't stored in their bodies and therefore persists even if they are damaged, the Judge comments "It's as if she can be [[VideoGame/SoulCalibur seriously wounded, but her soul still burns]]."
* When cross-examining the egotistical head of the local space agency, Phoenix says that if the witness is going to be an important historical figure, then he, Phoenix, is the [[VideoGame/KatamariDamacy King of All Cosmos]].
* Clonco declares that he'll use his [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis blast processing abilities]] to reveal information.
* Presenting the Mock trial script to Hugh has him complain you're trying to humiliate him [[Wrestling/TheIronSheik Old country style]].
* Speaking of Hugh, in his confession about him having a body double, the Mood Matrix represent the body double kinda like [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 a BLU Spy]], complete with [[PaperThinDisguise a paper mask of Hugh's face]].
* Robin Newman screams "[[Film/BlazingSaddles Proof?! We don't need no stinkin' proof!]]", later presenting some evidence to Robin yields the saying "full on [[Music/{{Drake}} YOLO]]".
* Case 4: If you examine the boarding lounge security camera, Athena will decide to commemorate the moment with a [[Manga/{{Trigun}} "Love and Peace!"]]
* Also in case 4:
-->'''Yuri Cosmos:''' ...how could you doubt a man with such great [[Wrestling/KurtAngle intensity, intelligence, and integrity]]?!
* Trucy speaks about busting the defendant out and then [[Film/TheFugitive seeking the actual killer, with the authorities hot on their tails]]. In the middle she says they'll "[[Series/WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSandiego sneak around the world from Kiev to Carolina]]".
* From the DLC case, we have this gem after examining a shark-shaped cannon that fires egg-shaped balls, rather than baby sharks like Athena suggests.
-->'''Phoenix Wright:''' (A [[Film/{{Sharknado}} tornado of sharks]]? Not even Hollywood could [[TakeThat conjure up something that insane]].)
* In case 5, Phoenix says "[[Film/{{Apollo 13}} Failure is not an option]] here!" to himself. Made all the more appropriate by the fact that the case involved a space mission gone wrong, two if you count the related one that happened seven years prior.
** The whole "HAT-1 Miracle" is pretty much a direct ShoutOut to Apollo 13. A space mission where the astronauts miraculously survived despite several major problems that was later made into a movie.
* The captain's ShowWithinAShow character in the DLC case is the "[[Film/ThePrincessBride Dread Pirate]] Nostache".
* The defendant in case 4 is an astronaut named Solomon [[Franchise/BattlestarGalactica Starbuck]]. He's also mentioned to be a good friend of Apollo's, doubling the reference.
* Yet another sci-fi reference in case 4: "You bet! Let's [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration make it so]]!"
* During the ending, Solomon Starbuck paraphrases the Music/EltonJohn song "Rocket Man", saying that space is lonely and "cold as hell".
* Upon fixing Klavier's statue in case 3, Athena notes, "[[Music/{{Queen}} Don't stop me now! The artist inside me wants to get out and have a good time!]]"
* At one point Simon proves that samurai movies aren't the only kind he enjoys.
-->'''Simon Blackquill''': [[Film/ForrestGump Suspicious is as Suspicious Does]].
* After Simon Blackquill brings up an accusation in Case 2, the gallery goes nuts, leading to this little quip from the Judge:
-->'''Judge:''' Order! Order!!! The defense will stop at competing for the [[Website/YouTube greatest]] [[MemeticMutation freak-out ever!]]
* At one point in case 3, Myriam Scuttlebutt calls Apollo [[Franchise/{{Batman}} "boy wonder".]]
* Phoenix's new three-piece suit with a pocket chain[[labelnote:(attached to...)]]A locket containing a picture of Trucy, as seen in the ''Dual Destinies'' intro.[[/labelnote]] is clearly taking inspiration from [[Literature/ToKillAMockingbird Atticus Finch.]]
* Also from the DLC case: Dr. Crab has a baby penguin chick living in his afro. [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII This has definitely happened somewhere else before]].
* Again from the DLC case: After Rimes drinks that barrel of "steroids" and became pumped up, his character design wouldn't look so out of place in a [[Manga/OnePiece particular pirate anime]].
** The fact that he raps and that the first American dub of that anime had [[https://youtu.be/RSe8D2wfGKI?t=29 a very memetic rap as it's theme song]] just makes the whole thing funnier.
** Or, indeed, an [[ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} iconic Western cartoon.]]
* Lastly, the poem on [=JudgeTron=] is a literal shoutout to ComicBook/JudgeDredd
* In Case 2, Apollo thinks to himself: "Yeesh, [[RubeGoldbergDevice Rube Goldberg machines]] have less elaborate set-ups then L'Belle's scheme."
* So in Case 3 we learn that Juniper Woods AKA Junie is studying to become a Judge...would that make her [[Series/JudgeJudy Judge Junie?]]
* Solomon Starbuck and Clay Terran are both giant shout outs to Manga/SpaceBrothers. Not only are their haircuts and character designs practically ripped from the series, but also similarities in backstories. Especially since both Solomon Starbuck, and his character design inspiration Hibito both experienced [[spoiler: a near death experience in space, leading to both of them developing a fear of space but still remaining determine to return to space]].
** Hibito and Clay also share some personality traits, especially their enthusiasm for space and becoming an astronaut.
* One of Marlon Rimes' rhymes is [[VideoGame/StreetFighterIII "Prepare for the battle, prepare for the war!"]]
* The name of one of the segments in the chapter select menu for Case 2 is "[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheChamberOfSecrets Chamber Secrets]]".
* Considering the speaker is an astronaut and the entirety of Case 4 has to do with space, this could very well be a ShoutOut.
-->'''Starbuck''': Well, it wasn't a big exaggerated deal like [[Franchise/StarWars master and apprentice]] or anything like that.
* Apollo had at one period in the game an eyepatch and wrapped arms. Franchise/StreetFighter's Sagat had these too.
