remember how in case 5 egeworth is revealed to be a steel samourai fan(if not fanboy)

when i played case 1-3 again,after the trial edgeworth tell's will powers that he is a fan of the steel samurai.

the first time i played this case(which was before AAI was released) i thought edgeworth was lying.

but now thati have replayed it after finishing AAI i suddenly saw the connection,could this be a coincidence or a forgotten forshadowing that was later used in AAI?

Edgeworth's inner-fanboy has been hinted at well before the fifth case of Ace Attorney Investigations. It's was mentioned in a little Phoenix Wright comic, and there's also that Steel Samurai figure in his office, which we first see in "Rise From the Ashes". And I recall there being other mentions throughout Ace Attorney Investigations as well, before the last case.

I don't really think it was foreshadowing though. There are references to Steel Samurai and its spin-offs in all of the games, as well as multiple cases involving them.
