* ExactWords: In hindsight, his words when Phoenix magatamas him are true, but not true ''enough''.[[spoiler: He's worried about justice, the GYAXA bombing, and Simon's hunt for the phantom... because he's worried that justice will prevail and he, as the culprit of both cases, will be caught.]]

* GeniusDitz: He's usually a doofus, but REALLY good with machines. Not only did he build the moving mascot for the police department, he's also actually pretty savvy when it comes to high-tech investigative equipment, and he actually built a bug tracking device when he was still in grade school! [[spoiler:And that bug tracking device becomes ESSENTIAL in case 2-4, probably the case where Gumshoe most proves his worth in the entire series.]] He also knows the scientific name of Charley, the plant in Mia's office ("Cordyline stricta, pal!")

* ADickInName: Played with. At first, Gumshoe comes off as gruff and uncooperative, but he's ultimately viewed as a good guy who takes pride in his work (even if he's not exceptionally good at it).

* DivergentCharacterEvolution: In her first appearance, she's a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to Maya Fey except [[MagicVersusScience replacing Maya's mysticism with an obsession with forensics]]. ''Apollo Justice'' shows her having become embittered and hostile in the wake of her life's dream being crushed, before ''Spirit of Justice'' shows her regaining most of her joy after finally attaining her dream. Even then, she's noticably matured a bit more than Maya has.

* WellIntentionedExtremist: His actions are unquestionably and utterly vile, and he is definitely a nasty and selfish person, but after his initial breakdown, he really does seem to believe what he did was necessary to fight criminals. His tone and words also seem to suggest that maybe he didn't really want to go through with his deeds, but felt he had to. Furthermore, the way he praises Wright and Edgeworth, rightfully noting how they are a good team that makes sure justice is served, suggests he may even feel a bit relieved that they figured everything out, because now the legal system is in a way stronger as a result.

* VillainHasAPoint: In a way, Gant is frighteningly accurate - on several whole levels. Even prior to this case, Mia was left with no choice but to blackmail [[spoiler:Redd White into turning himself in]]. Also, he tells Edgeworth that, one day, he will have to go outside the law and present illegal evidence to fight criminals. Two years later, Edgeworth [[spoiler:has to do exactly that in order to take down Quercus Alba and his smuggling ring]]. And seven years after that, Phoenix, with Apollo Justice's help, has to [[spoiler:present forged evidence to take down Kristoph Gavin]]. Additionally, though his actions were horrible, Gant's overall desire to see tighter control of the legal system becomes A LOT more understandable in light of some of the criminals Wright and Edgeworth encounter [[spoiler:(think Alba's agents pretending to be defense attorneys and prosecutors, not to mention the phantom impersonating Bobby Fulbright).]] They also both had to [[spoiler:unofficially hire a hitman onto his own former client since the latter held Maya hostage in order to secure a Not Guilty, only to instead demand a Guilty verdict now that the court proved that he betrayed a very dangerous man.]]
