Speech bubble

Speech bubbles, also known as speech balloons, dialogue balloons or word balloons, are balloons containing the speech or thoughts of characters in graphical fictional works, most commonly used in comic books, comic strips and cartoons. The Ace Attorney series predominantly uses labeled text boxes on the top or bottom of a screen to convey speech and thoughts, but also uses spiky "scream balloons" to convey certain exclamations. These scream balloons cover an entire screen and use stylized red letters for over-the-top emphasis, albeit not in all capital letters. These speech bubbles are an iconic element of the series, especially the "Objection!" bubble, which is used whenever a major character is about to counter an argument or a witness's testimony. "Objection!" is one of the three original bubbles alongside "Hold it!" and "Take that!" and others have been made since then.
