** Phoenix when he's [[spoiler:mourning the apparent death of Maya]]. It's one of the few times in the series that he's shown to be really furious, [[spoiler:and he even chews out Barnham when the latter tries to talk to him and his companions]].

* EnemyMine: PlayedForLaughs. Whenever Emeer appears in court, Phoenix, Barnham and Emeer's fellow witnesses all find him to be such a nuisance that they effectively team up to verbally put him down.

** {{Inverted|Trope}} in the finale, where [[spoiler:Layton steps in as inquisitor after Darklaw is summoned to testify because it's the only way he and Phoenix can solve the case (as well as Labyrinthia's mystery); if no one took over as inquisitor (and no one else could at the time), the trial would end on the spot with Espella still not cleared of guilt. In other words, Phoenix and Layton became ''opponents'' in order to work towards a common goal]].


Added DiffLines:

* WolfpackBoss: This game introduces cross-examinations of multiple witnesses at once, with Phoenix often getting input from one witness while questioning another to expose contradictions. Every witch trial has at least one segment with multiple witnesses (the trial in London only ever has one witness at a time like in previous ''Ace Attorney'' games), and [[spoiler:the finale [[ExaggeratedTrope takes it to the extreme]] by bringing in a set of ''ten'' witnesses]].

Broken Aesop is now YMMV


* BrokenAesop: Phoenix and Layton [[spoiler: making a point that there is no such thing as magic]] can be seen as a bit hypocritical, given that both series have [[spoiler: elements of the supernatural as plot points, such as Maya's channeling and Luke's zoolingualism.]] On the other hand, they are actually pretty quick to accept the magic overall and apply their logic in a MagicAIsMagicA sort of way, and only really start unraveling that thread when they notice contradictions in the magic itself.

* ChekhovsSkill:
** Layton makes a comment early on about taking fencing up again (also serves as a CallBack, as we know the Professor is an excellent swordsman). [[spoiler:It becomes necessary later on after the Storyteller sets robotic knights on him and Luke, although there is also an element of this in his defense of Maya when she is being chased by Shades.]]

* ChekhovsSkill: ChekhovsGun: To gain access to the Grand Grimoire, Layton is required to prove he has skills equivalent to those of an inquisitor (since only inquisitors are granted access to the grimoire), which he, being Layton, accomplishes through puzzle-solving. [[spoiler:This becomes important in the finale, when Barnham has been arrested for treason and Darklaw is called as a witness, leaving Layton as the only person both qualified and available to take over as inquisitor]].

* EarnYourHappyEnding: It took a great deal of suffering (years of it in certain characters' cases), but thanks to Layton and Phoenix, the story is brought to a happy ending. [[spoiler:The truth behind Labyrinthia is uncovered, everyone's false memories disappear, their real memories return, the Shades go back to normal, Eve is reconciled with the Story Teller, who brings the Labyrinthia project to an end, and they and Espella finally start living happily.]]
