Watson[]
At the start of the newest trailer (04/15), it seems as if it's John Watson who's narrating. Additionally, a character who fits the standard image of the character can be seen during this "drawn" narrated section watching Holmes playing the violin. I at first thought that this might indicate that Iris Watson is somehow a relative of Dr. Watson, rather than a complete replacement. However, the Holmes in the aforementioned scene is also of the more standard image of the character. I'm now entirely confused. Maybe it's just a stylistic choice? Maybe they're trying to indicate that the Holmes and Watson who appear in DGS are the "real" ones and that Arthur Conan Doyle changed them? Hmmm... - Strabo412 (talk) 18:05, April 2, 2015 (UTC)
- John Watson is the first case's victim so probably not. --Doggieboy9 (talk) 23:58, May 27, 2015 (UTC)

Perception[]
Repeatedly in the first game, Iris seems to be able to accurately read how other people think and feel. In the fifth case, Adventure of the Unspeakable Story, Iris mentiosn that she has "grown up to be able to perceive all sorts of things in the world. Especially lies. It's like I can tell when someone's about to lie, before they even speak." Notice the wording, and how it directly parallels to Apollo Justice's (And Troupe Grammarye, by extension) ability to perceive lies and detect hidden habits. Perhaps it's just a cool callback, but she does seem to have Trucy Grammarye/Wright's ability, perception without the need of a focusing band (unike how Apollo does need the band). Additionally, it's said (In Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice) that perception is an inheritable, genetic trait passed down with blood. Which means theoretically if Iris does indeed possess the same genetic trait, then she may be the ancestor.
About the usage of "racist terminology"[]
This is just an FYI to inform people, but do feel free to leave any reply too, if you have a counterargument (also this is my first time editing on this particular wiki although I visit a lot, but I wanted to talk about this topic all the same). If you look at the history of this page, this was already debated before. As was discussed then, Dai Gyakuten Saiban has these accurate depictions of casual racism from the past in it. Iris casually refers to them by that word which nowadays is considered racist a lot. This wiki's purpose as is the purpose of every wiki on Fandom is to be as accurate to the source material and portray the purpose of the source material as accurately as possible and censoring all the racism from the game and pretending it doesn't exist would defeat the point of that.
As shown via the page history, originally, the use of the racist word was not in quotations. The compromise that was come to was to keep the usage of the word, but to put it in quotations, so as to make it clear that it is quoted from in-game, and not the wiki's own choice of wording. Anyway, I just wanted to clarify this issue before things potentially got out of hand, what with with my edit and putting it back in. Kinderwiser5000 (talk) 21:34, April 2, 2020 (UTC)
