Line 1:
{{work}}
== Debuted in ''Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney'' ==
Line 128 ⟶ 126:
* [[Gentle Giant]]: He is an actor for a children's show, but children are scared of his face so he wears a mask.
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: He's got willpower. "Niboshi" is dried sardines (yes, it's ironic).
{{break}}
=== Wendy Oldbag (''Kaoru Ohba'') ===
Line 1,166 ⟶ 1,165:
* [[Going for the Big Scoop]]: In Case 1.
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: "Hayamimi" means "keen on hearing". It is a reference to how she recorded the gunshots during the assassination.
* [[Motor Mouth]]: When she hastily tries to get her news out of people.
* [[Reference Overdosed]]: The writings on her parka contain numerous references, both [[In-Universe]] - KB Security, iFly Airlines, Global Studios, Gatewater Hotel, Will Powers's shirt - as well as [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]] to the art director Tatsuro Iwamoto and a furniture company which apparently decorated Yamazaki's family home.
* {{spoiler|[[The Scapegoat]]: She was asked to be part of the fake assassination plan on the president of Zheng Fa, but unfortunately, another murder took place, and she was framed as the murderer for that one}}.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: She very much resembles Lotta Hart in both appearance and profession, and even has similarly accented speech. {{spoiler|She's actually an "apprentice" of her, even though she is a writer, and Lotta a photographer}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Too Funny to Be Evil]]}}: A minor case, she {{spoiler|isn't actually evil}}, but {{spoiler|very few players guessed she'd she'd be a willing conspirator in the fake assassination plan. Admittedly, she never realised how far it would end up going, or that [[The Scapegoat|they'd end up pinning the blame on her]]}}.
Line 1,190 ⟶ 1,189:
* {{spoiler|[[Green-Eyed Monster]]}}: {{spoiler|He killed his partner Tojiro out of jealousy}}, hoping that {{spoiler|after his death}}, he would finally be promoted to {{spoiler|head bodyguard}}.
* [[Gun Twirling]]
* [[Morality Pet]]: {{spoiler|Sōta}}.
* [[Neck Snap]]: By {{spoiler|Shelly de Killer. It even causes the change in the security plans}}.
Line 1,214 ⟶ 1,212:
* [[Asian Airhead]]: Though he's really just {{spoiler|[[Obfuscating Stupidity]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Assassin Outclassin']]}}: {{spoiler|After his breakdown, Shelly de Killer tries to kill him because he felt betrayed. However, Ryōken Hōinbō saved him}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: Catalyzes the events of four out of five of the cases in the game}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad Friend]]}}: To {{spoiler|Kay}} and especially {{spoiler|Regina}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: When he introduces himself, he's very cheerful and charismatic}}.
* [[Break the Cutie]]: {{spoiler|[[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|AND]]. [[Stepford Smiler|HOW]]}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Broken Bird]]}}: A rare male example, but being {{spoiler|abandoned by your father}} and {{spoiler|growing up in an [[Orphanage of Fear]]}} can really {{spoiler|[[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|break someone]]}}.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: [[Fragile Flower|"Nowaynowaynoway!"]]
* [[Chekhov's Gunman]]
* {{spoiler|[[The Chessmaster]]/{{spoiler|[[Manipulative Bastard]]}}: He even refers to himself as an "animal tamer who tames humans."}}
* [[Cute and Psycho]]
* {{spoiler|[[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]}}: How does he manage to get {{spoiler|[[Amoral Attorney|Bansai Ichiyanagi]] convicted}}? By letting {{spoiler|the innocent Kay be falsely accused}}, knowing someone will {{spoiler|have to defend her}}, and in doing so {{spoiler|expose the real killer}}.
Line 1,231 ⟶ 1,229:
* {{spoiler|[[Evil Redhead]]}}: He used to have black hair.
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: The interesting thing is that when Money the Monkey is with him, Money tugs on his hair to resemble Sōta's facial expressions. This, of course, causes his eyes to be open as a result. So his eyes are basically closed otherwise. Until he opens them. {{spoiler|They aren't creepy, though they do make him look just as clever as Edgeworth -[[Magnificent Bastard|which he is]]}},
* [[Fluffy Tamer]]: As an apprentice animal tamer at the Berry Big Circus.
* [[Foreshadowing]]: {{spoiler|Bansai Ichiyanagi}} wore the mask of Zuruwan during the auction. Zuruwan is the nemesis of Global Hero Onyankopon. Souta's wearing a blue shirt with Onyankopon's insignia. This foreshadows their {{spoiler|enmity}}, although {{spoiler|Ichiyanagi}} isn't his [[The Dragon|top target]].
* [[Fragile Flower]]: He's terrified of everyone he meets, going so far as to faint when Edgeworth glares at him. This is probably due to {{spoiler|his misanthropy}}.
Line 1,241 ⟶ 1,239:
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Restless People" when you first meet him. "Strange People" when you talk to him. And {{spoiler|when he reveals himself, "The Man Who Masterminds The Game"}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Madden Into Misanthropy]]}}: His experiences have given him a {{spoiler|chronic distrust of other people}}, and an {{spoiler|obsession with being strong}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Monster Clown]]: Dressed like this during the final confrontation, complete with a [[Psychotic Smirk]] and deranged facial expressions}}.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]
* [[People Puppets]]: When Money the Monkey appears, he immediately starts to control Sōta's arms using his hair.
Line 1,249 ⟶ 1,246:
* [[The Runaway]]: A combination of Orphan and Circus type.
* {{spoiler|[[Sissy Villain]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Spanner in the Works]]: To the group who assassinated the President of Zheng Fa. They tried to silence him for years, but he was just too smart for them}}.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Type A and {{spoiler|C}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Sympathy for the Devil]]}}: Though whether or not he's truly {{spoiler|a devil}} is up to you.
* {{spoiler|[[Tragic Villain]]: One of the most sympathetic villains in the series. His mother died when he was young, his father abandoned him, he was raised in an [[Orphanage of Fear]], his best friend betrayed him, and his father figure was an assassin. Even Edgeworth felt sorry for him}}.
* [[Used to Be a Sweet Kid]]
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Breakdown]]}}: His is one of the most awesome and hilarious {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]] breakdowns}} in ''Ace Attorney'', considering that {{spoiler|all of his animal friends beat the crap out of him when he was exposed}}.
Line 1,262 ⟶ 1,259:
[[File:Orinaka Shuuji-icon 188.png|frame]]
One of the prisoners in the jail. He used to be a boxer, and he continues practicing in prison. His prison number is D-259. He has a polar bear called Mark, who's always hanging around with him (literally). {{spoiler|He tried to escape the prison. His bear knocked a guard unconscious, and then Orinaka stole his cell keys and disguised himself as a guard}}. His plan was foiled when {{spoiler|Mark recognized him in the uniform}}.
* [[Dressing as the Enemy]]
* [[Gonk]]: Just as how you'd expect a boxer from a prison to look like.
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: His full name is a pun on "ori no naka shūjin", which means "prisoner in a cage".
* [[Mugged for Disguise]]: {{spoiler|He even mugged another guy just to have someone to pin it on}}.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: It's never explained exactly what he's in for. {{spoiler|He can get quite violent when provoked}}, and {{spoiler|threatens to kill Edgeworth}} on at least one occasion, which could imply something. But then again, Ryōken says {{spoiler|several of the inmates were falsely accused}}, so you never know.
* [[Shipped in Shackles]]: His wristbands have two small weights chained to them.
* [[Tunnel King]]
Line 1,287 ⟶ 1,284:
* [[Handicapped Badass]]: He's blind.
* [[Hell Is That Noise]]: The ringing of Kuro's bell. {{spoiler|In-Universe, Marie Miwa seemed to think so, given how the sound features in her breakdown}}.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: He dodges nearly everything the police tries to do to him, except for his arrest, which he isn't that disappointed about.
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Tone of an Assassin".
* [[Luxury Prison Suite]]: Perhaps even more so than {{spoiler|Kristoph}}. Kay lampshades it during an investigation. {{spoiler|Later [[Deconstructed Trope|Deconstructed]] when it's revealed he gets his luxury treatment by threatening the warden}}.
* [[Mexican Standoff]]: Against {{spoiler|Shelly de Killer}}.
* [[Might as Well Not Be in Prison At All]]: {{spoiler|Though he's not able to kill directly anymore, he still maintains the influence he once had. The mere knowledge that he has 'dogs' outside the prison and that they [[Oh Crap|know where her family is]] allows him to manipulate the warden into giving him anything he wants, through this he established himself as the prison's "supplier", 'ordering' items for other prisoners in exchange for favours. Hell, his imprisonment allows him to play a major role in the [[Big Bad]]'s plan}}.
* [[Nightmare Fuel Station Attendant]]: The way how he operates and describes his assassination plots are perturbing.
* [[Noble Demon]]
* [[Non-Standard Character Design]]: A blind, corpse-looking old man who can most likely kill you.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: A father figure to {{spoiler|Sōta}}.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: He is fond of his dog Kuro, {{spoiler|and he also rescued Manosuke and Sōta when they were children, being a father figure to Sōta}}.
* [[Professional Killer]]: Rivals even Shelly de Killer in this department, although he's just as much a general crime lord.
* [[Prophet Eyes]]: He has cataracts.
=== Issei Tenkai ===
Line 1,342 ⟶ 1,339:
A girl who assists Issei Tenkai on his show. She was abandoned by her biological parents who left her at Tenkai's doorstep. He raised her as his own daughter. {{spoiler|She hid the body of the IS-7 victim and prepared a trap for the real murderer, knowing that he would eventually return}}.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: She has brown eyes and hair.
* [[Door Step Baby]]
* {{spoiler|[[Framing the Guilty Party]]: Tries to do this after 18 years}}.
* [[The Gump]]: See [[Unwitting Instigator of Doom]] below, as she {{spoiler|indirectly caused Manfred to resort to forging evidence, and thus the DL-6 Incident}}.
* [[Hair Decorations]]: She wears a white headband adorned with roses.
* [[Happily Adopted]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: "Sweet Dance".
Line 1,352 ⟶ 1,349:
** Her full name is a pun on "o yashiki o tsukasadoru" which means "[to be] responsible for the residence." She takes care of Tenkai's mansion.
** Her surname Oyashiki may be pun on "okashi", which means sweet.
* [[Meido]]: Acts as this during the show and outside of it.
* [[She's All Grown Up]]: Appearance only, her personality is still same as 18 years ago.
* [[Single Tear]]: When she breaks down, she reaches a hand up dramatically and cries a single tear.
Line 1,373 ⟶ 1,370:
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|To Sōta Sarushiro}}.
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: His name means "full of flavor". {{spoiler|He most certainly isn't}}. His surname contains the kanji for "weathercock".
* [[Real Men Wear Pink|Real Men Are Pastry Chefs]]: And he's ''very'' serious about it too.
* {{spoiler|[[Villainous Breakdown]]}}: Carves a dough effigy of himself with his bare hands, {{spoiler|then slices it in half}}.
* {{spoiler|[["Wake-Up Call" Boss]]}}: His testimony is considerably harder to crack than anything beforehand. {{spoiler|And even then, he still has the Statute of Limitations on his side}}...
Line 1,384 ⟶ 1,381:
A university hospital nurse. She's Otome Itami's granddaughter, and she assists her from time to time. She found and treated Kay after she fell down and lost her memories. {{spoiler|She was forced to work with Bansai Ichiyanagi. He made her don a mask and the victim's clothes to pretend she was one of the auction customers}}.
* [[Curtains Match the Window]]: She has black eyes and hair.
* [[Dead Person Impersonation]]: {{spoiler|After Bansai killed Kagome during the auction, he made Mutō switch clothes with her and pretend she was one of the customers}}.

* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: "Itami o tome" means "stop the pain".

* [[Bratty Half-Pint]]: He addresses adults as old people and doesn't like to be seen with his mother whenever she wants him to behave.

Line 1,419 ⟶ 1,416:

* [[Missing Mom]]: She died a few years ago, so he was adopted by her [[Promotion to Parent|cousin]].
* [[Older Than They Look]]: He's a 13-year old middle school student. Most people are surprised once they find out.
* [[The Stoic]]: {{spoiler|Once you startle him though, he's just like any other boy}}.
* [[Tell Me About My Father]]: {{spoiler|The Ō they saw killed is an imposter. And only the cowardly imposter, an animal-loving warden, a corrupt prosecutor and a circus clown knows}}. So it's perfectly understandable.
Line 1,432 ⟶ 1,429:
* [[Expy]]: Her hair and kimono make her look somewhat like Aoi from ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]'', {{spoiler|except Aoi is not the type to commit murder over being rejected}}.
* [[Hidden Eyes]]: Particularly shortly before she adopts an especially emotional {{spoiler|or psychotic}} facial expression.
* {{spoiler|[[If I Can't Have You]]: Why she murdered}}.
* {{spoiler|[[I Never Said It Was Poison]]}}: She knew that {{spoiler|Bonds was at Gourd Lake}} so {{spoiler|it means she must have been there}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Just Between You and Me]]}}: {{spoiler|Calls up Bright so that he’ll know who killed him}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Sinister Silhouettes]]}}: Although it's revealed pretty early in the story. Only her face is hidden, but you can still see her clothes.
* {{spoiler|[[Woman Scorned]]: Again, why she killed}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Yandere]]: How she could kill so without remorse}}.
=== Biddy Tenniman (''Yone Ootsuka'') ===

* [[Can't Hold His Liquor]]: Passes out after ''one beer'', according to Brock.
* [[Gonk]]: He's a very sweaty guy with a unibrow

* [[In Vino Veritas]]: Brock tries this on him, but he passes out too quickly.
Line 1,470 ⟶ 1,467:
* [[Bratty Teenage Daughter]]: Although most of her rebellious streak stems from the fact that her father killed her boyfriend.
* [[Forgiveness]]/[[Revenge]]: Has an interesting variation of this at the end of the trial: she says she will never forgive {{spoiler|Brock}} for killing her father (whom she hated for killing Eddie but still loved as her father), but won’t take her revenge because revenge never makes anyone feel better.
* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Her pigtails fit her youthful character.
=== Brock Johnson (''Matsurou Kimura'') ===
Line 1,484 ⟶ 1,481:
* {{spoiler|[[Revenge]]}}: {{spoiler|His motivation, although Lira, who loved Eddie, thinks otherwise, refusing to forgive him, but saying that she doesn’t want revenge}}.
* [[Saying Too Much]]: {{spoiler|Edgeworth tricks him into admitting to setting the fire this way, after he insists that he was wearing gloves}}.
* [[Sleeves Are for Wimps]]: He goes sleeveless to show off his muscles.
* {{spoiler|[[Sympathetic Murderer]]: He killed the man who killed his brother}}.
=== Thomas Spitzer (''Azuchi Yamashiro'') ===
Line 1,507 ⟶ 1,504:
Publicity team leader at Sparkle Land, the creator of the Sparklestar and Friends show and the one playing Sparklestar. He's Julie, Buck and Flip's immediate superior.

* [[Expy]]: His appearance is similar to that of Kristoph Gavin, {{spoiler|down to committing murder out of jealousy over someone else replacing him}}.

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: "Ray" was chosen as in "ray of light".
* [[Megane]]
* [[Nice Character, Mean Actor]]: He plays a nice character in Sparklestar, but he's a huge [[Jerkass]] in reality. Maya even comments on this.
* [[Saying Too Much]]: A case in which it isn’t immediately obvious that he had even made a mistake. His yelling at Julie for biting her nails after finding Flip dead like she did in the show indicates that {{spoiler|he was turned around inside his costume, thus validating Phoenix’s theory that the killer wore his costume backwards to open it from the inside, stabbed Flip (who was himself wearing his costume backwards), then turned himself back around}}.
* [[Serious Business]]: His view on Sparklestar, from yelling at Julie for biting her nails to {{spoiler|killing Flip for being chosen as his replacement and framing Julie over her biting hernails}}.

Line 1,548 ⟶ 1,545:
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Kind of. It's the future that Saito predicted. And that future is when Phoenix Wright will become a [[Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney|pianist]].
* [[Food Slap]]: Only that Franziska was the one who did it unintentionally. When Saito offered the Judge some ice cream, Franziska destroys it with her whip, and it wind up on all of the Judge's head.
* [[Fortune Teller]]: One who tells the future through ice creams.
* [[Phony Psychic]]: At least that's what Phoenix thought of him. After all, he was predicted to become a pianist in the future so he thought Saito was a quack psychic. Oh, how wrong Phoenix was...

Line 1,565 ⟶ 1,562:

* [[Hidden Eyes]]: Most of the time, her hat covers her eyes.

* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: He has noticeably more paler skin than the other fortune tellers.

* [[Kubrick Stare]]: This is what he said while he stares like that:

Another contestant on Gourmand Battle.
