// SPOILERS (no names mentioned but critical plot points discussed) //
Very, very loosely... Kind of, not really? A character who is the cause of another characters' pain pretends to be/takes on the disguise of another character and is very friendly, often reciprocatedly, towards the character they hurt. The character they hurt is not aware of this and is close with them.

No gore, but this game is significantly bloodier than other entries in the series, particularly in anime cutscenes. One witness's "damaged" animation has them squirt blood from a wound.

Both banging/crashing noises accompanying death scenes (like a, 'wow! look at what has happened!' noise) and also shouting is very frequent -- you play as a lawyer, if you've played the other games and been fine with the 'objection!'s you'll be okay here.

Florent L'Belle is clearly based on the achillean playwright Oscar Wilde. He is obsessed with his own beauty and just generally an a*****e and people seem to dislike him, partially for his feminine traits. But no slurs are used.

Florent L'Belle (a villain) is a pretty obvious parody of Oscar Wilde (a queer man). He wears make up, flamboyant clothes and is extremely vain. He even has a perfume bottle with a green carnation as a bottle cap, making it very obvious that he's supposed to be gay.
