It’s amazing how ace attorney is like. Famous for being this silly game. Where you defend orca. And make the parrot take the witness stand.

But in actual games

– One of the main characters are planning to kill himself. And after their disappearance the other characters are forced to cope with the loss and grief.

– Two different characters are thinking that they killed their parents. One of them are so traumatized, they erased the entire day out of their memory.

– Multiple cases of characters having a trauma induced chronic panic attacks.

– Multiple characters are planning to go/or already went to prison on false charges, because they though that people dear to them commited a murder. And they couldn’t stomach the though of them being persecuted.

– The entire clown case.

– One of the characters being forced into parenthood in a pretty young age, because the kid needed a guardian and no one else was around to help.

– Multiple cases of psychological child abuse from their parents/guardians.

– Implied torture of an accused person by the hands of police.

– Actual torture of an accused person by the hands of the police.

And I’m not even including things that happened in dgs1,2
