Later in the chapter, one of the characters have a big snake coiled around its head. It moves and make hissing noises. It stays there for a while and is visible during many lines of dialogue, including a "deduction" mini-game.

Several characters in Case 1-2, "The Adventure of the Speckled Band," have a soporific slipped into their food before the main events of the case. It has no adverse effects besides complaints of headaches, but it is a relevant plot point that the protagonist mentions quite a few times.

In "The Adventure of the Unbreakable Speckled Band," the victim is determined to have tripped and broken their neck. In "The Return of the Great Departed Soul," the possibility of the victim being killed by a fall rather than the stab wound listed on the autopsy report is briefly discussed. In "Twisted Karma and His Last Bow," a character attempts suicide by jumping out a window and survives.

Debatable. There are police and police detective characters who are portrayed sympathetically, even after tampering with evidence or using other underhanded methods in some cases. At the same time, there is explicit criticism of the police force and intrinsic corruption in law enforcement and the judicial system is a major theme.

A character in "Twisted Karma and His Last Bow" sways awkwardly and holds his head as if in pain while trying to remember a traumatic event, then screams and passes out upon remembering it. Throughout the game, multiple characters have "breakdown" animations when cornered while testifying.

"The Adventure of the Blossoming Attorney" ends with a character implying that they're going to perform seppuku ritual suicide but instead they cut off part of their hair. A character in "The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro" attempts suicide by drinking poison but is interrupted by the player. In "Twisted Karma and His Last Bow," camera pans and zooms are used to imply that a character attempted suicide by jumping out a window and the survived attempt is mentioned occasionally afterwards. Suicide is occasionally brought up as a possible cause of death in multiple chapters.

The screen flashes and shakes slightly when characters make important points during trials.

In "Twisted Karma and His Last Bow," it shakes while the POV character is being attacked by a puppy.

There aren't any depictions of antisemitism towards characters established as Jewish. However, a predatory loan shark character in "The Adventure of the Runaway Room" is referred to as "a Shylock" at one point, referencing the antagonist of the Shakespeare play The Merchant of Venice, who is widely regarded as an antisemitic caricature, has a history of being used in antisemitic propaganda, and whose name has been used as an antisemitic slur.
