** The mere fact that they all witness the supposedly dead victim suddenly rising and quoting ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'', but forgetting how the quote continued and asking someone to fill in for him. Gregson's first reaction [[SkewedPriorities is to complete the quote]], and only realizes Shamspeare wasn't dead ''until after he passes out again''.

* When Ryunosuke accuses Olive of attempting to murder Shamspeare, he looks at her with the [[http://airisuwatoson.tumblr.com/post/163773434936/knfsgjgfhjgdsfhk most shocked expression]], like he can't just believe it.

* After the trial, a young girl in a steampunk outfit (later revealed to be Iris) shows up, admonishes Lestrade for stealing her smoke grenade launcher, and browbeats her into returning the stolen one by leveling a ''larger'' one at her!

* A BrickJoke from ''Adventures'''s first case features Ryunosuke presenting Yujin's ticket to prove that the "Grouse" Gregson was heading to was not a club, but a steamship, but [[NotSoAboveItAll Stronghart]] instead reads the handwritten message Mikotoba had left on the other side. Stronghart then scolds Ryunosuke for not being specific.

* If Susato chose either Taketsuchi or Yujin as the victim's name, hilarity ensues and no penalties are given.
-->'''Ryutaro:''' The victim in this case is... Yes! Prosecutor Taketsuchi Auchi!\\
'''Judge:''' What?!\\
'''Auchi:''' Why the sudden triumphant cry of 'Yes!'? Are you threatening to kill me?\\
'''Ryutaro:''' ...He seems angry.\\
'''Mikotoba:''' And you're surprised? Did you consult the Court Record? You must look through it carefully.\\
'''Ryutaro:''' Oh yes, I did, of course! I looked at everyone on file. And I chose the person who appears to be the most deathly.\\
'''Mikotoba:''' ...I must say... this most unusual methodology of yours leaves me almost speechless. It occurs to me with renewed certainty that reading the information carefully is vitally important. I strongly recommend it!\\
'''Ryutaro:''' (Oh dear... I simply can't ignore that imploring look.)\\
--
-->'''Ryutaro:''' The victim in this case is... none other than Professor Yujin Mikotoba!\\
'''Judge:''' What?!\\
'''Mikotoba:''' Well... To be written off by one's own child...\\
'''Ryutaro:''' Father, you, you seem suddenly so much older... and wearier than you were moments ago...\\
'''Mikotoba:''' Because of you, clearly! The judge is asking for the victim's name. The person who was killed in this case. Look through the information in the Court Record again. Carefully. Before you kill me, for mercy's sake!\\
'''Ryutaro:''' (Oh dear... I simply can't ignore that disapproving look.)

* Inspector Hosonaga shows up again. His disguise this time consists of an OldTimeyBathingSuit, a beach towel, and... a small turtle strapped to his head.
* Prosecutor Auchi uses the word "yokel" to mock the defense attorney's rural background. As the trial progresses, he ends up using that word to insult ''everyone'' who damages his case.
* Press Inspector Hosonaga's statement about how it is common sense not to hastily pull the knife out of the victim's body, and Susato will try to state that Rei lacks any common sense.
** In the localization, Susato will state that "irrational behavior is a woman's prerogative", to which Hosonaga replies saying she [[{{Irony}} has a lot to learn about women]]. Susato begins to worry that her "Ryutaro" persona [[LostInCharacter is starting to take over a little]].
* If you inspect the picture of Soseki and Mikotoba, Mikotoba comments that the picture was taken seconds before Soseki karate chopped him in the neck with his wild hand gestures.
* When examining the label on the chemical reagent, Susato notices that said label was written in German, a thing that her father is aware of. She tells him that he should have written "Medicine" in Japanese, and Mikotoba agrees, although he wonders if said medicine may not be as it seems.
* In a BlackComedy way, Jezaille Brett, real name Asa Shinn, was an assassin working for Mael Stronghart as part of the conspiracy behind the "Reaper of the Old Bailey". Raiten Menimemo, a random Japanese journalist, managed to kill a British governmental assassin involved in the conspiracy, simply because she kept throwing racist insults at him. [[KarmicDeath Had she been a little nicer, she might have been able to walk away alive and get away with everything.]]
* [[https://youtu.be/ttXejtgRPo0?t=1h14m34s Taketsuchi Auchi's "breakdown"]] upon losing to a Naruhodo again (actually Susato, but he doesn't know that) is yet more BlackComedy. He gets out a ritual knife and it looks like he's ready to commit {{Seppuku}} right there, and yells at everyone to shut up when they say he's overreacting. The sad version of Asogi's theme starts playing, and he recites a death poem, winces, grabs the knife and... [[StabTheSalad cuts off the clump of hair on his forehead]], which was starting to grow back from his previous defeat. ''And the game still acts like this is a major tragedy'', with the sad music still playing as the hairs blow away, and everyone else in the courtroom looks like they're giving a "moment of silence". This includes Hosonaga, [[{{Bathos}} who is still wearing his ridiculous swimsuit]].
-->"Sprig of my topknot...the time is right for farewell...\\
Hope is lost forever." -- Taketsuchi
* After the trial is over, Hosonaga and Natsume walk in on Susato, Rei and Yujin discussing the former's disguise. They are both taken completely off guard by the revelation of her disguise.
-->'''Soseki:''' I had no idea, Miss Susato-san Esquiress, that you were [[CallBack Locum Student Naruhodo-san Esquire's]] [[ComicallyMissingThePoint cousin]]!
* Menimemo then enters the defendant lobby after escaping the bailiffs to confront Professor Mikotoba. Things get tense as he tries to press him about Asogi's death... and then ''Judge Jigoku'' [[MoodWhiplash barges in and tosses Menimemo across the room]].

It comes to poor Ryunosuke to try (and fail) to get them to stay on topic, and he gets scouted (by Juror No. 4) to become the gas company's lawyer.
