13	----
14	* BonusEpisode: "Rise from the Ashes" was made as an extra chapter for the DS version of ''Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney'' to show off some of the system's features. Although other ports that include this episode have some of those features changed to fit the platform.
15	* RecycledScript: Case 5 is essentially an extended retelling of Case 4, with so many deliberate parallels that the characters frequently lampshade how familiar it all feels.
16	** Both cases start with a star prosecutor (Edgeworth in Case 4, Lana Skye in Case 5) being arrested for a murder that seemingly nobody else could have committed, and reluctantly taking on Phoenix as their attorney despite telling him their case is hopeless. Case 5 also brings back the plot point of Edgeworth's reputation taking a hit because of the case, because Lana was seen stuffing the victim into the trunk of Edgeworth's car.
17	** Both cases turn out to have suspicious similarities and connections to controversial prior cases that were believed to be solved years prior (The DL-6 incident in Case 4, the SL-9 incident in case 5). Both of these "closed" cases see the original verdict being called into question after the possibility is put forth that [[spoiler: a child at the scene of the crime (Edgeworth for DL-6, Ema Skye for SL-9) killed someone by accident during a power outage while trying to save them from an assailant.]]
18	** The ''real'' perpetrator in each of the "closed" cases turns out to be [[spoiler: a third person not previously known to have been at the scene (Von Karma for DL-6, Gant for SL-9) who is manipulating evidence to blackmail the person who was present at the scene as a child.]] Not only that, [[spoiler:both men are responsible at least in part for the current case being tried,]] and [[spoiler:both are respected authority figures whom nobody ever would have suspected of committing murder in the first place,]] ''and'' [[spoiler: a mentor of the current case's defendant]]!
19	* RemadeForTheExport: The original game's localized release is not a 1:1 port of the Game Boy Advance version of ''Gyakuten Saiban'' due to the addition of "Rise From the Ashes", hence why it was released in Japan as "''Gyakuten Saiban: Yomingaeru Gyakuten''" (the subtitle being used as the Japanese title of the fifth episode). The second and third games were straight ports.
20	* TechnologyMarchesOn: Phoenix points out at the end of 1-1 that Cindy [[HiddenHeartOfGold really did care for Larry]] because she took the Thinker clock he made with her to Paris, which would be a fairly cumbersome move if she just needed a clock. This was already a sound point when the games were released in the early 2000s, but it hits home even more in the age of near-ubiquitous smartphones and the clocks that come with them.
