** In case 2, a valuable jewel is called the "Tear of Emanon." If you don't get it, read it backwards.
** In the third case, the murder victim was a computer programmer working for a company called Blue Screens, Inc. Maya comments that it "sounds like a really stable company."
** The final case features two characters using false names with the surname "Deauxnim." Considering the series' love of {{Punny Name}}s, it's quite surprising that neither is called "Sue".
** A character's name in Japanese is also a StealthPun: her pseudonym is "Elise," but her real name is "Maiko" (one translation of which is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dancing_Girl_(short_story) "dancer"]]).
** The ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' series is famous for giving the characters incredibly punny names. Like Shelly de Killer, the assassin who leaves cards with the images of shells at the scene of the crime to draw suspicion from his clients. [[spoiler: The killer with the conches]].
** One potentially obscure pun can be found in the name of Max Galactica, the magician Phoenix defends in the third case of ''Justice For All''. Max is particularly fond of milk, and needs it to calm his nerves before a performance. How many players realize that the word "galactic" is defined as pertaining to milk in the first place?

** It's strongly hinted that Miles Edgeworth is asexual, making him, well... [[{{Pun}} an ace attorney.]]
** ''[[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies Dual Destinies]]'' alludes to the ''biggest plot twist in the game'' with a silly pun. When Jinxie Tenma [[spoiler:first meets Bobby Fulbright, she says "eek! a ghost!" and slaps a curse seal on his forehead. This is bizarre, because Jinxie is afraid of ''demons'', not ghosts. But Bobby Fulbright ''is'' a ghost - also known as the phantom, the culprit of the last two cases. Not to mention the real Bobby Fulbright has been [[DeadToBeginWith dead for a year]]]].
** This plot twist also changes the meaning of [[spoiler:his catchphrase. "In justice we trust" becomes "injustice we trust"; the characters believed his facade and nearly allowed him to get away with orchestrating a severe MiscarriageOfJustice]].
