* Paul Atishon being so vain as to think Apollo wanted to send him birthday gifts, not realizing he invalidated his claim. [[labelnote:Explanation]] Dr. Buff had emailed one "[=PAW-711=]", so his birthday being July 11th or 7-11, is, combined with his initials, decisive proof he's the one Dr. Buff emailed. [[/labelnote]].

* One of the initial theories about Inga's death is that [[CrackOhMyBack he suffers from back pains so often]] that, on his way to Amara's Tomb, ''he [[FailedASpotCheck somehow fails to notice]] that he was stabbed on the back''.

* 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" (結婚, marriage), the computer kept interpreting it as "kekkon" (血痕, bloodstain). That's quite the typo.

* After it's revealed that 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]], [[SubvertedTrope but you may]] [[FieryCoverup burn the evidence]]."

* When Phoenix explains to Maya that Larry was dumped by his imaginary bride, [[AmbiguousSyntax Maya takes it to mean the bride herself is imaginary]]. [[BeyondTheImpossible She thinks that he somehow]] [[EpicFail got dumped by a figment of his imagination.]]

* An optional conversation during the investigation of Amara's Tomb has [[RunningGag grape juice]] appear again. Specifically, there was a bottle found at the scene, and Apollo theorizes that 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. (And yes, it has always been grape juice in the Japanese version as well.)

* The VillainousBreakdown of Paul Atishon. He imagines himself on TV, winning the election like he wanted, complete with the courtroom 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, crying out for his grandfather. Cut back to the courtroom, where he's crying with a comically exaggerated expression not unlike [[Characters/StreetFighterDanHibiki Dan Hibiki's]], and he faints. Then for good measure, his treasured, long-abused placard finally gives up and crumbles to pieces.

* Edgeworth being ganged up on his single status by Phoenix, Maya, and the Judge. He is seething the entire time.

* Apollo uses the fact that Datz is a goofball prankster ''as evidence, in court''. When he hears this, Datz laughs his ass off in the gallery, prompting the Judge to tell him specifically to shut up.

** Even funnier is Simon's deadpan reaction to tell her to call Phoenix back immediately.

* When playing as Apollo you can present the photo of his late biological father to Athena, who will comment Apollo's old man looks pretty manly. Apollo takes it as a personal compliment, but Athena didn't intend for it to be one. After a few awkward moments, she teases Apollo by asking if there was a [[ShipTease certain compliment]] he wanted to hear her say about him.

* In the epilogue, 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, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome 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 '''''for free'''''. This prompts Apollo to loudly yell '''''Objection!''''' in the courtroom.
