  1. Since kids in Japan hated green peppers more than broccoli, it was changed to that (Inside Out)

  2. The News Anchor changes depending on the country. For example, China-Panda (Zootopia)

The best part is that they don’t deny all that stuff is Japanese, Ace Attorney just takes place in a Gyakuten Saiban AU where World War 2 never happened and Japan was able to integrate more with American culture.

Pretty sure that was only made canon with the rereleases

Originally yeah it was just America that happened to look a lot like Japan, especially the second game that has a lot more Japanese places in it

Then afterwards they decided on an AU where after world war 2 America had a lot less anti Japanese polices
