Trivia / Elements of Justice

• Approval of God: NeoArtimus, the author of Turnabout Storm, gave her blessing to the author and wished him good luck with the project. Some of the voice actors from the original were intended to reprise their roles, but this changed due to Troubled Production.
• Inspiration for the Work: Angel Starr served as direct inspiration for the character of Amber Gleam
• Recycled Script: The second case "Crusading for a Turnabout" makes multiple references to the cancelled MLP fan game My Little Investigations such as Scootaloo being the primary suspect, her ribbon being a key piece of evidence, and the use of some of the game's musical cues.
• Role-Ending Misdemeanor: In early August 2023, the Elements of Justice team discovered that creator TheAljavis had previously drawn lolicon and incest art featuring the Cutie Mark Crusaders. It was ultimately decided that he would be removed from the team with the ownership of Elements of Justice going entirely to Mr. G as explained here.
• Role Reprise: While so far, every revealed character that had also appeared in Turnabout Storm has a new voice actor, it was originally confirmed that TheGoldCrow would be reprising his role as Phoenix Wright. Unfortunately, due to TheAljavis losing the lines he recorded and TheGoldCrow being too busy to rerecord them, Phoenix was recast with Julius Gem.
  • For the first four episodes of case 2, PrincessRil reprised her role as Twilight Sparkle from the cancelled fan-made MLP game My Little Investigations.
  • ThatCanadianDude reprised his role of Philo Reed from the cancelled second case of My Little Investigations.
• Schedule Slip: Turnabout Fashion was originally intended to be released near the end of 2015, but due to TheGoldCrow (the voice of Phoenix Wright) being busy working on Operation Turnabout (also voicing Phoenix Wright), the release date was pushed back. It was pushed back again due to Troubled Production.
• Throw It In!: In Turnabout Theatre, a mispronunciation of Coco Pommel's name by Playright's voice actor was made into a gag at the character's expense.
• Troubled Production: Due to TheAljavis's hard drive crashing, his money problems, and losing the lines TheGoldCrow had recorded, the show was pushed back significantly from 2015 to June 5, 2019.
  • Then there's the fact that some of the pony voice actors keep rotating around due to timing issues.
• What Could Have Been: Phoenix was originally going to be voiced once again by TheGoldCrow; however, the creator's hard drive died in November 2016, resulting in the loss of all their files; and since TheGoldCrow was too busy voicing Phoenix on Operation Turnabout to record his lines a second time, the part was ultimately recast.
  • Aljavis freely admits that having this take place during season 9 of FIM would make it so he wouldn't have to rely on Narnia Time, and add to the parallels of Twilight having pupils now as well. Not to mention characters such as Starlight Glimmer or Thorax being out of bounds because they don't appear until season 5. But because the original script was conceived of long before it released, he felt compelled to keep the time frame he originally conceived.
  • Turnabout Theatre was originally titled "Turnabout Fashion" and was to take place at a fashion show instead of a stage theater
  • After episode 1-1, TheAljavis took on an entire team to help with future productions after doing the first episode completely by himself. He admitted that due to this, the first case underwent some major rewriting resulting in the case we have now, and while it did result from a bit of heated debating as well as caused a severe delay in the next episode's release, he agrees that the new script was far superior to the original.
  • “A Hanging Omen” was originally planned to release with Crusading for a Turnabout 2-6, but due to various complications with the production, it was delayed until after 2-8.
  • The character Amber Gleam was originally was originally named "Topaz" according to concept art.
• Word of God: According to notes by aljavis, this takes place after Dual Destinies in the AA timeline, and just before Season 5 of FIM.
