Nightmare Fuel / Turnabout Storm

• Phoenix manages to send Pinkie Pie into Cupcakes (Sergeant Sprinkles) mode by explaining about ladders and stepladders. Quite a take on the Running Gag.
• Trixie has black psyche-locks. The first character in the Ace Attorney canon to have them? The nightmarishly evil Kristoph Gavin.
  • Somewhat lessened in that unlike Kristoph's locks, which were cold and dark, Trixie's were described to be filled with sadness and despair; which are comparable to the ones of the next character in canon to have them: Athena Cykes
• Ace Swift. Blackmailing the competition is one thing, but using a fellow racer's young sister's life to reach that end is nothing short of disgusting. And then there are his Last Words. The way he narrates the fabricated story of how Sonata will die is absolutely creepy, especially after raging at Sonata. It's just the absolute epitome of an Asshole Victim:

  Ace Swift: YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE, SONATA!
  Sonata: What are you doing!?
  Ace Swift: You met an unfortunate fate in the forest...
  Sonata: What!?
  Ace Swift: A ferocious beast got to you and ended your life!
  Sonata: No! Stop! Don't come any closer!
  Ace Swift: I then fell into a depressed state, and couldn't race anymore. No one will notice my performance drop, because I was forced to retire... Because you died! My dear Sonata, I'm so very sorry. But I am afraid I must ask you for one more thing... Farewell, Sonata...

• Rarity's...er, rant.
  Phoenix: I think I'm gonna need to change my pants now.
  • Plus, Fluttershy's angry face from the MLP episode "Best Night Ever" is superimposed onto Rarity's face during the latter's rant, making it creepy.
