Okay, so I’ve seen some Ace Attorney Fans speculate that the screwdriver featured as a minor piece of evidence in ‘Rise from the Ashes’
Is actually the same screwdriver as the one that was a major plot-point back in ‘Turnabout Sisters’.
Because, well, they look pretty much the same and also it is mentioned the screwdriver is from one of Miles’ previous cases… and Miles was the Prosecutor on ‘Turnabout Sisters’. Plus, it would explain why he’s so cagey about explaining it to Phoenix during RFTA. Obviously he wouldn’t want to bring this case up in front of Wright again.
And, well, the thing is that all of these explanations do make sense and do make it sound like this was the authorial intent, but….. There is one thing that bothers me.
The whole Thing with the RFTA Screwdriver is that Miles got it from the Evidence Room where the crime took place. And that Evidence Room is specifically mentioned to be a special one reserved for especially violent crimes involving members of law enforcement.
And this doesn't apply to the 'Turnabout Sisters' case but.... feels like it’s meant to be the Turnabout Sisters Screwdriver, y’know?
So, actually, you know what I think?
Well, after an Ace Attorney trial concludes and we find the real culprit and our defendant gets the ‘Not-Guilty’ verdict… it’s not like the Real Culprit gets Immediately Sent to Jail. They get their own off-screen trial to determine their guilt officially (as we saw briefly with Luke Atmey’s grand larceny trial in ‘The Stolen Turnabout’).
So I think that after the story of ‘Turnabout Sisters’ ended for Phoenix and Maya and us the players, Miles Edgeworth also took it upon himself to be the one to prosecute in Redd White’s own trial. Either as a way to ‘double-check’ all that Phoenix has proven in his own trial, or as atonement for almost getting this guy off-the-hook in the first place, or because it’s pretty clear that Miles is one person that Redd doesn’t have specific dirt on, or probably because of some combination of the three.
This case against Redd White is the AI-16 Incident that is labeled on the Screwdriver, and it covers all of the charges that have been put against White - not just Mia’s murder and the wiretapping of her law office but also his empire of blackmail. That we know have involved high-ranking members of the police, some of which have been driven to suicide by White.
As such, this will qualify the Screwdriver to be placed in the Special Evidence Vault for Dead Cop Cases, while still maintaining the connection to ‘Turnabout Sisters’!

In "Turnabout Sisters" of "Ace Attorney", there's a moment where Redd White punches Phoenix in the face as a "I can hit you for no reason and you can't do anything to me" thing, and then they both show up to court the next day.
And... look, maybe it was a really shitty punch, but I prefer to imagine that this did leave at least a serious bruise on Phoenix's face. The screen temporarily goes black, White is wearing a bunch of heavy rings on every finger of both hands, and White is a murderer and a blackmailer whose crimes are on the edge of coming to light. It was probably a hard hit. White has Phoenix arrested for the murder immediately afterwards, so Phoenix would not have had any opportunity to cover up the injury, leaving the entire court to see what should at least be some really ugly bruising.
Phoenix is having the worst time here, but Edgeworth must be GOING THROUGH IT. Because now he has to prosecute Phoenix Wright of all people for Mia Fey's murder, when he's already been an ass throughout this trial and he knows it, and everything about his key witnesses here is incredibly suspicious (especially if he is at all aware of just how influential and corrupt White is). I would love to be in Miles' head the moment he mentally matches Redd White's smug expression and gaudy rings to the ugly bruises across Phoenix's face.
Now THAT'S an "oh" moment. Not a romantic one, in my opinion, because it's too early. But definitely something that could have unconsciously or consciously flipped a "oh, this is the part where I tear you to pieces" switch regarding Redd White.

in celebration of finishing the second case in my french ace attorney playthrough, here are some little details that i thought were silly so far (coming from a french student who is very american) 😋
i guess gulp is gloup in french, but i really like how that makes these kind of moments look lmao. larry is such a glouper
sometimes april (and once maya) repeat the word hi like so, and i don’t know what impression that’s meant to give off but i think it’s rlly cute
i just thought this moment was really silly — phoenix is celebrating a victory like that while girl is in the background looking like she wants him dead
this might be in the english version too but white just full on calls edgeworth (or hunter) his real christian name. like damn dude i didn’t know you guys were chill like that
maybe this is a french thing but edgeworth just barks in a court of law. like sir??????????
anyways that’s all the silly things i wanted to share!! some of this could just be slang im unaware of but if french people really do just say arf arf arf then i think the rest of the world needs to be caught up on that

Been watching a Game Grumps playthrough of Ace Attorney, and I've been reveling in so much nostalgia for it.
So just drew a few characters.
