* MagnificentBitch: [[AloofBigSister Aura Blackquill]] is the older sister of Simon, who deals with Robotics at the Cosmos Space Center. Having lost her partner Metis Cykes to the phantom, and her brother to a false conviction, Aura loses faith in the courts and decides to take justice into her own hands by manipulating Apollo Justice and Chief Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth into having a retrial with the person she thought was responsible, Athena Cykes as the defendant, through a robot rebellion, having programmed several of her and Metis' robots into kidnapping several hostages, including Trucy Wright. Despite being proven wrong by Phoenix that Athena is the killer of Metis and Clay, her testimony about seeing the killer in the current case holding the lighter-gun in the opposite hand from where Athena's prints are, allows the protagonists to arrest the phantom. She then gives herself up [[GracefulLoser gracefully]] and releases the hostages, while her brother is absolved, just like Aura wanted.

* PlayerPunch: Oh boy, the last two cases was not kind to a lot of people. [[spoiler: First of all, Apollo decided to leave the office to work by himself in order to find out who really killed his friend. Second of all, Athena managed to be accused of murdering Clay after the BigBad made everybody believe her "fingerprints" were found on the lighter. Third of all, Trucy got kidnapped by Aura Blackquill as an attempt to redo Simon's trial. Fourth of all, Athena was accused of murdering her mother and almost everybody (including Athena) believed that. Fifth of all, Bobby Fulbright ended up being DeadAllAlong as the BigBad killed him to do a DeadPersonImpersonation on him.]]

* ItsTheSameSoItSucks: Athena's backstory with the The UR-1 incident is sometimes criticized for retreading Edgeworth's backstory with the DL-6 incident presented in [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney the first game]], with both having a parent [[ThatOneCase mysteriously murdered]] in front of them when they were children but suffering from TraumaInducedAmnesia that prevents them from knowing the full details and later [[spoiler:becoming suspects of having done the killings themselves]]. While there are twists on the formula, some still find it too similar in the end.

** A more direct case-to-case comparison would be the DLC case "Turnabout Reclaimed", having similar elements to Justice for All's "Turnabout Big Top", but cutting out a lot of the gameplay frustrations that held back the cases of the original trilogy, lacking some of the questionable characterization and relationships from "Big Top", and [[spoiler:justifying the culprit's motives better due to one of the characters being an animal]].

Okay, maybe "variation" is a misleading term, but you know what I meant. The example is interesting because only one layer of the twist is widely known rather than both layers of it.


* ItWasHisSled: Many people are aware that [[spoiler:Bobby Fulbright is the BigBad]].

** L'Belle, while [[HateSink intended to be hated]], is despised for being an extremely one-note StupidEvil villain with nonsensical motivations [[spoiler:trying to steal the gold that is the true identity of Tenma Taro, a plan that wouldn't even have worked, all because he was somehow so arrogant that he couldn't fathom the idea of ''[[TooDumbToLive selling his own products]]'', made worse by [[ComplexityAddiction how insanely convoluted his plans are]]. Many consider him a contender for the worst villain in the franchise.

YMMV shouldn't have variations


* ItWasHisSled: An interesting variation. While many people are aware that [[spoiler:Bobby Fulbright is the BigBad]], they may not necessarily know [[spoiler:that he's a fake and that the real Fulbright was already dead at the start of the game]].
