*** Also in ''Justice For All,'' Phoenix more or less admits that he's only surviving the ''extreme'' stress of case 2-4 because Edgeworth is on his side. He's also got a mid-trial revelation about how much he trusts Edgeworth, and after the trial you can express these feelings by ''giving Edgeworth Franziska's whip.''
*** And speaking of the whip, Edgeworth then gives it back to Franziska in a post-credit scene that ship teases ''them.'' Edgeworth talks about them standing "side by side", and it's also the first time Franziska shows any emotion besides whipping rage. This scene also makes Phoenix sound a bit like Franziska's love rival. The ship tease runneth over - if you're not reading the relationship between Edgeworth and Franziska in the conventional LikeBrotherAndSister sense.

--> '''Phoenix''': ...You should change out of your acolyte clothes more often.
** Also Iris in the third game [[spoiler:who once shared a very intimate relationship with Phoenix while impersonating her sister, Dahlia]], and whom Phoenix [[spoiler:once put his life on the line to protect her by drinking what might be poison]], is also teased and appears resolved at the end of the game...except that she seems to disappear during the seven-year timeskip between ''Trials and Tribulations'' and ''Apollo Justice''. ...well, so do Maya and Edgeworth,
** Basically the writers like to ShipTease all the most popular pairings at once. Trials and Tribulations just served to further fuel Phoenix/Edgeworth and Phoenix/Maya, and to make things more confusing, they then threw in Iris to boot. And after their experience with Phoenix/Edgeworth, in ApolloJustice, they seem to be teasing Apollo/Klavier with Klavier's very first line!

* It just had to be the route of ''FateStayNight'' which has Saber calling Archer and Rin intimate, Archer putting his jacket around Rin to keep her warm, and a lot of other {{Subtext}} that also brings us [[spoiler:Archer's FaceHeelTurn and Rin hooking up with Shirou.]]
* ''[=~Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney~=]'' does this quite a lot.
** There's [[HoYay Phoenix and Edgeworth]] and how concerned Phoenix is with Edgeworth's well-being, even when Maya is in a very dangerous situation. (The concern is very much mutual - Edgeworth [[spoiler:''charters a private jet'' to see Phoenix when he hears that Phoenix is in hospital]].)
** Phoenix and Maya also have a fair bit of this. Phoenix [[spoiler:tried running over a burning bridge to save Maya (and failed when the bridge collapsed under him).]]
