Ace Attorney is a Capcom courtroom adventure series in which defence attorney Phoenix Wright defends clients accused of murder by cross-examining witnesses and presenting evidence. A not guilty verdict is the dramatic payoff at the end of a trial, when the judge finally accepts that the real culprit has been exposed. Clips of that moment have long circulated in gameplay videos, edits and memes, because the gavel and triumphant music instantly signal vindication. It remains popular as a shorthand for being proven right after a long dispute.
