As we all know, one of the draws to this series we all love is its continuity. Whether it be a written line (such as the classic ladder/stepladder gag) or a visual clue, some reference will be made to a previous entry in the series, or occasionally some foreshadowing to future titles. Of course, with the way the series tends to jump around in time and perspective, most of these are quite deliberate.


I've only seen one so far, in terms of Gyakuten Kenji 2.

Spoiler: GK2 and GS5 Case 3 character spoilers

We know of Rei from Themis Legal Academy, of course.

But the Academy was lightly foreshadowed in GK2, via Yumihiko Ichiyanagi's outfit:

So Gumshoes, what else have you found playing/streaming through the game?

Regarding to your reference...

Spoiler: GK2 and AA:DD Case 3 spoilers
Apparently, there are a lot more comparisons that can be made with Rei and Yumihiko such as them being condescending in regarding to their perfect scores and their name puns related to archery. Plus, there is also the fact their parents bribed the principal (I don't know if Means was principal when Yumihiko was at Themis) to change their test scores into perfect ones.

I remember at some point

Spoiler: GS4, GS5 case 5
They mention Apollo had a pretty rough first trial, and later on in 5-5 Apollo says something like "We haven't been behind the defense bench together since my first trial, huh, Mr. Wright?"

There was one moment in case 3 when Athena asks Phoenix about
Spoiler:
whether he attended a mock trial before. He answers no, since he had been an art major beforehand. She then asks why he'd turn to law, and he avoids the question, saying that "a lot of things happened".


And another in case 5, when Phoenix presents
Spoiler:
the attorney's badge to Edgeworth. Apparently, Edgeworth had to convince him to return to law, and eventually, Phoenix gave in and retook the bar exam. Now it's been 8 years since.

Here's another one, relating to a certain character's letter:

Spoiler: JFA Case 4, GS5 Case 5
Included in Maya's letter is a little drawing of Phoenix's head.

She originally drew that on Shelly DeKiller's calling card during the second game, waiting for Nick to rescue her:

There is the obvious one in

Spoiler: 4-3 and 5-3
the outfit that is styled after Lamiroir.

Now that I think about it, it's kind of funny and somewhat awkward seeing Juniper dressed in Lamiroir's outfit while singing a love song to Apollo and co.

Spoiler:
I found that really weird, since IIRC Shinobu said that she designed the outfit, but... :yuusaku:




I actually think GS5 was pretty light on the references/connections to previous games (especially when compared to GK2 xD)

Spoiler:
If she did design the outfit, then I find it very awkward (and somewhat funny) none of them know that she's basically singing a love song to Apollo while being dressed as Apollo's mother.


There are of course even more obvious callbacks.

Spoiler:
Phoenix's and Apollo's Objection themes, of course. And the Psyche-Lock theme's beginning does sound similar to the Kurian Village theme.


And there is one other really spoilerish callback.

Spoiler:
Phoenix gets impersonated for the second time in his life.

Spoiler:
I find this one odd because, well didn't Franziska have that card at the end of JFA? I wonder how Maya ended up with it?

Maya drew it directly on the letter; she didn't enclose that card with the letter.

Spoiler:
In Ichiro's breakdown, he writes several sentences on his chalkboard as suggestions for a replacement punishment than a murder sentence. The first one is to "clean the toilet for a year". This is a JFA reference; when in Turnabout Big Top Phoenix is desperately trying to clean his messy office when Maya calls him and says "You can clean the toilet later!" :phoenix:

So... How's life?

Come to think of it... was there a stepladder joke anywhere? I don't think I remember one. (IIRC in case 2 they used one, but I don't think they did the gag)

I found it odd too. They announced that the joke made it in the game, but aside from case 2, I didn't see any stepladder being used or discussed. I recall seeing a stepladder or two elsewhere in other cases, but couldn't examine those backdrops because the game wouldn't let me.

...I suppose in an off-chance that there may have been a mention in one of the wrong answers in a case. I haven't gone back to check through the script thoroughly yet.

Actually, the gag is there - what you have to do is

Spoiler: 5-2 light spoilers
Examine the airvent again during the investigation where Athena and Apollo are trying to open the Forbidden Chamber. They'll get into the old debate.

I was playing case 2, where Apollo asks Phoenix how he met Athena. He replies that he met her while he was in Europe. Apollo then asked what he was doing in Europe. Phoenix says he was helping an "old friend" with legal work time from time.

Who is this friend he's referring to?

If that's not a rethorical question, that would be Edgeworth.

There were quite a few direct references to Eldoon, and in Turnabout Reclaimed there are references to Phoenix's career as a pianist unable to play any song or cross-examining an animal in the past.

Pretty sure there were more, but I can't remember...

Franziska was mentioned many times, 5-2 and Turnabout Reclaimed coming to mind, and Ema was mentioned once or twice too.

Maya was mentioned in case 2, if you present the crime scene photo to Phoenix, he'll mention 2-2, Maya, and Franziska, but he doesn't mention them by name.

Franziska is referenced in Case 3, with the "Guilty Dogs" Banner in the school.
Also, the 'SuPer Admin Restricted Desktop Access password protected' (I think i memorised that correctly) from Lisa Basil's comment in T&T was repeated when talking to Dr. Crab in Turnabout Return (In Phoenix's thoughts)
