The Japanese version of Extraordinary Attorney Woo is taking a different path from the original right from the start

In the original Extraordinary Attorney Woo, they first showed her childhood as a child actress,
demonstrating that Park Eun-bin's character was an autistic person who had a long period of being non-verbal as a child.
Then, when her father was being scolded by the landlord,
she showed that she could recite contents from the criminal code by heart,
which expressed her genius and the motivation for her becoming a lawyer all at once.
However, the Japanese version of Extraordinary Attorney Woo skips that episode
and just ends with a scene explaining Minami, an autistic person who is simply obsessed with whales.
Are they saving it to use later?
It's quite an important scene.
