{{quote box|Spot the odd one out.}}
''Kristoph Gavin: Ace Attorney'' is a fanfic/webcomic (more commonly known in its circle as a "Sprite Comic" based on the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series, and its hero, Kristoph Gavin, a defense attorney who was never actually shown doing his actual job. Which is exactly what he does here, actually. The series itself is set up to be a rather large piece of [[Continuity Porn]], although this hasn't cost it so far.

----
=== This Sprite Comic provides examples of: ===
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Kurtis, in a somewhat literal example.
* [[Alternate Continuity]]: A fangame version has been announced, which will be one of these.
Line 13 ⟶ 11:
* [[Animal Motifs]]: A currently unnamed group of mysterious characters all have codenames based on birds.
* [[Animated Adaptation]]: One of these is in the works. Travolta3335 and Naruhodou Minuki of [[Apollo Justice Abridged]] appear to be likely cast members, but no-one has been confirmed yet.
* [[April Fools' Day]]: In 2010, Simon is suddenly revealed to have killed Robert Dobbel and Ed Gardson, and then shoots Kristoph.
* [[Backstory]]: The whole concept of the comic is Kristoph's backstory.
* [[Berserk Button]]: {{spoiler|Do not insult Kurtis Gavin in front of Kristoph. Just fucking don't.}}
Line 20 ⟶ 18:
**** It does when it is screamed in a court of law.
**** And considering that swearing at all is a rarity in [[Ace Attorney]]. And Kristoph himself never swears in-game.
**** Although, considering this, it would be better referred to as [[Precision F -Strike]] than [[Obligatory Swearing]].
** If Kohal thinks you're guilty, don't bother asking him to help you. It won't end well.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: {{spoiler|Harry Brushel.}}
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: {{spoiler|Again, Harry Brushel.}}
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: ...Pretty much everyone.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: The medical report in "The Grave Turnabout". There were just way too many coincidences.
Line 35 ⟶ 33:
* [[Ficdom]]: Evidenced when many readers expressed worry about the future of the comic when an unforeseen hitch made it necessary to move its post location.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Kristoph and Kohal. If the author wasn't (supposedly) straight, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Kohal was an [[Author Avatar]].
** It ''is'' an [[Author Avatar]], and a [[Self -Insert Fic]] for that matter. Sort of. Kohal was created by a friend of the author, and was used to give Kristoph an original prosecutor to lock horns with, as opposed to screwing with continuity by having him face Edgeworth or something.
* [[Gen Fic]]: No sexual relationships have been hinted at thus far.
* [[Fan Dumb]]: Just ask the author.
Line 48 ⟶ 46:
* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: Apollo seems to be getting this treatment from Kurtis.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Yet again, {{spoiler|Harry Brushel.}}
* [[Off -Model]]: Seriously, what is up with assistant Apollo's head?
** On top of that, if you'll notice Lloyd's mouth in his confident sprite, it keeps changing every time we see it.
* [[Old Shame]]: Custom sprite design and plot continuity in the first arc of the comic, according to [[Word of God]]. Fans have yet to figure out what he was referring to in the continuity.
Line 56 ⟶ 54:
** [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Kristoph's {{spoiler|inner commentary makes him out to be much more heroic and all-around "good" than his canon counterpart is made out to be in-game. He even expresses regret of his past (murderous) actions even though this story takes place before (canonically) he is jailed for committing yet another murder.}}
*** Specifically this is seen as [[Draco in Leather Pants]].
*** According to [[Word of God]], "I never intended to {{spoiler|[[Black and Grey Morality|make Kristoph good.]] No more so than, say, L from Death Note, and according to [[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]'s [[Word of God]], "only Soichiro is good"}}. I only intended to have his actions in [[Apollo Justice]] make a little more sense, and I used a {{spoiler|[[Berserk Button]]}} to try and make it work. Also, future events will change one mentioned fault, although I wont go into detail yet".
** Also, [[Original Character]] Lloyd Blackburn was apparently interpreted by fans far differently to how the author intended.
*** Much to the author's chagrin.
* [[Precision F -Strike]]: See [[Berserk Button]].
* [[Punny Name]]: Harry Brushel is a pun on Hairbrush, in reference to his profession as a hairdressing teacher.
** And then there's the first case victim, Barry Moyer, which is intended to sound like {{spoiler|paranoia.}}
Line 74 ⟶ 72:
** Kohal's ears.
** Kristoph hates stairs.
* [[Savvy Guy, Energetic Girl]]: Kristoph and Shirley seem to be this.
* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: Kristoph, although this trope really belongs to ''Ace Attorney'' itself more than it does to this Sprite Comic.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Whilst the comic doesn't update on a regular schedule, it tends to do so at least once a week. On a few occassions, though, it has gone several weeks with no updates.
** And more recently, it took 6 MONTHS to update.
* [[Script Fic]]: To an extent. The characters all have text boxes with their names attached.
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: How the hell do you pronounce Kohal Leicht anyway? For that matter, what the hell does "Kohal Leicht" mean?
** Actually, [[Word of God]] from his creator has stated that "Kohal" (Pronounced Koh-hahl.) was simply an edited version of "Kohl",which is "Cabbage" in german."Leicht"(Pronounced Likht) means "Easy", in the same language. Oddly enough, no one has made fun of his name yet.
*** Especially since Kristoph himself is German, and should spot the wordplay easily.
*** It would appear that, since reading this, the writer has gone "[[Sure Why Not]]"? and had Kristoph do this in a recent comic.
* [[Spin -Off]]: Obvious.
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Artie Pallet, although the crush part is undetermined.
* [[The Verse]]: Oyashiro-Tan, who originally designed Kohal, has now made a fanfic featuring him. Presumably, it's the same fictional universe, although it is unknown wether the two of them have a continuity sorted out.
* [[True Art Is Incomprehensible]]: Artie Pallet actually [[Shout -Out|references this trope directly.]]
* [[Web Serial Novel]].
* [[Who Is This Guy Again?]]: Simon Taylor. Whoever that is.
