----
=== ''Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney'' contains examples of: ===
Line 16:
* [[Amoral Attorney]]: {{spoiler|Kristoph Gavin}}. Given the series tradition for them, it was a surprise when Klavier Gavin appeared and he actually didn't follow this trope.
* [[Anachronic Order]]: The last case {{spoiler|takes you back seven years to Phoenix's last trial, and makes you jump between the present and seven years ago in a "game" of sorts.}}
* [[And the Adventure Continues...]]:
{{quote| '''Apollo:''' ...And that's pretty much the end of my story. For now, anyway. I've still got a long way to go. And this power of mine... well, it needs some work. But... there's hope now. We'd lost it, but somehow, we found it again. That's why people are smiling again... Hope. Yeah, I think I'll keep at this lawyer thing for a while. Oops, training time. Gotta go. Chords of Steel... here comes Justice! }}
* [[Anime Hair]]: Daryan has a 'do that's oddly suggestive ([[Fan Nickname]]: Dickhead), Drew Misham's looks like half of its hair was frozen at an angle from its head in the shape of a painting brush, and the Gavin brothers' hair forms a G at the side while the lower part forms a drill. This trope also gets subverted in the case of Apollo's hairstyle: Apollo himself actually said that he used hair gel when Olga refused to testify due to being scared by his 'demonic horns'.
Line 23:
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Pal Meraktis from 4-2.
** {{spoiler|Zak Gramarye}} -- see [[Jerkass]], below.
* [[Back for
* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|During the final case, it is revealed that Phoenix has been working on the same case for the last seven years, manipulating Apollo into using forged evidence as well as getting Kristoph arrested, and then setting up the entire Jurist System in order to make sure Kristoph finally gets implicated for the forgeries and the murder of Drew Misham. It could be argued that this resulted in an inverted case of [[Hijacked
* [[Big Bad]]: {{spoiler|Kristoph}}.
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]: The Gramarye family.
Line 36:
* [[Character Tics]]: Actually a gameplay element, as Apollo has the ability to "Perceive" character tics that reveal when a witness is obfuscating the truth.
* [[Chekhov's Boomerang]]: The object that {{spoiler|proved a man guilty of theft a thirdway through and}} finally proved who the real murderer was at the end of the second case was {{spoiler|a pair of panties. [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Your 15-year old sidekick's panties]], no less. To avoid the squick we shall note she does not wear them as they are far too large for her and are used as a prop in her magic acts where she produces items like a frozen turkey or a broom from them}}. This is suitably lampshaded: {{spoiler|"Panties! Again?!"}}
** {{spoiler|The reason he stole them wasn't because he was a pervert (or so he says). It was because he wanted to know how she did it. As he put it: [[For Science
* [[The Chessmaster]]: Phoenix Wright, of all people. The increase in his competence and intelligence when free from the control of the player is staggering.
** It's not necessarily an increase in competence, but {{spoiler|the fact that he's spent seven years on the same case}} gives him incredible insight into what actually happened. He just can't do anything about it, and has to pass it over to Apollo without simply giving him the answer.
Line 57:
** {{spoiler|Kristoph Gavin}}'s hairdo does quite a spectacular number (specifically, [[Memetic Mutation|OVER NINE THOOOOUUUUUUSAAAAAAAND!]] when {{spoiler|he finally goes down for the count in the last chapter}}).
** Daryan Crescend wears his hair in a long, torpedo-like ([[Freud Was Right|described in other ways]] [[Memetic Mutation|among more dirty-minded fans]]) pompadour that bounces when he laughs, droops when he's nervous, {{spoiler|flails madly like a ricocheting bullet when he snaps}}, and {{spoiler|takes on the appearance of a wet skunk when his brain is finally broken upon being exposed as a killer by Apollo}}.
* [[Expy]]: Klavier is basically [[Devil May Cry
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: Klavier, who takes this to the point where he's almost more friend than enemy.
* [[Full Motion Video]]: The first game in the series to have FMV cutscenes, due to not being ported from the Game Boy Advance. Also, there's an extended regular sprite, fully animated, of Klavier playing the air guitar for [[Rule of Cool|no logical reason]].
Line 70:
* [[Jive Turkey]]: Wocky Kitaki.
* [[Lamarck Was Right]]: {{spoiler|Apollo and Trucy's Perceive ability}}.
* [[Leaning
* [[Like Brother and Sister]]: Apollo and Trucy. {{spoiler|Which turns out to be not that far from the truth.}}
{{quote| '''Trucy''': A lot of people come just to see my panties, you know!<br />
'''Apollo''': You... might not want to advertise it like that. }}
* [[Living Lie Detector]]: Apollo {{spoiler|and the rest of the Gramarye family}}.
* [[Lost Him in
** {{spoiler|Actually, it's not a matter of winning or losing, especially since Zak claims to have only lost twice. At one point he says that you really get to know a man when you compete with him, so the reason he fired Kristoph after the card game was not because he lost, but because that game was enough for Zak to realize that he was a [[Complete Monster]].}}
** However, it is somewhat odd that {{spoiler|Zak}} states this fact as though he'd needed an attorney multiple times beforehand...
Line 83:
* [[Made of Iron]]: {{spoiler|Played straight and lampshaded at the beginning of the second case: Phoenix gets hit by a speeding car, flies thirty feet, hits his head on a pole and ''only suffers a sprained ankle This is not left unmentioned.''}}!
* [[Magic Realism]]: Apollo and Trucy have pretty much what could be described as a "[[X-Men|mutant power]]".
* [[Meanwhile in
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Happens in Case 3 when an item is added to the inventory, and Trucy notices the message being told to the player.
{{quote| {{color|blue|<nowiki>*Headset attached to Trucy.*</nowiki>}}<br />
Line 90:
* [[Never Suicide]]: Averted with {{spoiler|Magnifi Gramarye}}.
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: In case 4, {{spoiler|the verdict is completely your own choice. Voting guilty results in a hung jury, and the defendant dies}}.
* [[Not
* [[Not Proven]]: ''Apollo Justice'' has this, but it was close before.
* [[Off
* [[Out-Gambitted]]: {{spoiler|Kristoph Gavin}} gets out-gambitted by {{spoiler|Phoenix}}. {{spoiler|Kristoph sets up a huge gambit to poison two people and not get caught. But Phoenix manages to ''overhaul the entire legal system'' just to ensure Kristoph gets convicted.}}
* [[Panty Thief]]: Apollo's not the thief, actually.
{{quote| '''Phoenix''': Good job. But as a father, I have to wonder why you're still carrying around Trucy's panties in your pocket.}}
** When the real panty thief is caught, he claims he did it [[For Science
* [[Repetitive Name]]: In Japanese, Wocky Kitaki and Alita Tiala were named Kitaki Takita and Minami Namina, respectively. Put the first and last names together, and you get Kitakitakita and Minaminamina. [[Punny Name|Incidentally,]] "Kita" is the Japanese word for 'north' and "Minami" is 'south'.
* [[Rockers Smash Guitars]]: [[Discussed Trope]].
* [[She Is All Grown Up]]: Ema returns in this game, but the events during the ten year gap between her appearances have given her a really bad attitude. She is very crabby about her job and Klavier Gavin unless you ask her about forensics stuff.
* [[Shout-Out]]: In the case where you encounter Valant for the first time he goes to you before entering court for the last time. Apollo thinks to himself that Valant used the door like an [[Harry Potter (
** Trucy tells Apollo that her magic cabinet (and panties) is bigger on the inside than the outside. Which reminds Apollo of [[Doctor Who|a science-fiction show he used to watch]].
* [[Shy Blue-Haired Girl]]: Vera Misham.
* [["Silly Me" Gesture]]: One of Trucy Wright's trademark gestures.
* [[Sink or Swim Mentor]]: Phoenix apparently decided to follow this approach when it comes to Apollo: he only offers real aid when things are truly hopeless, and even then it's usually just a vague piece of advice (though an extremely useful one).
* [[Springtime for Hitler]]: {{spoiler|Alita Tiala}} tried to {{spoiler|get her [[Meal Ticket|(ahem)]] beloved Wocky guilty of a murder she commited - by hiring a rookie attorney. His name? [[Spanner in
** {{spoiler|As if she didn't make it obvious enough by writing the attorney request on [[Fridge Brilliance|"hit request" stationary.]]}}
* [[Tech Marches On]]: In 4-4, the murder victim is poisoned by {{spoiler|licking the back of a stamp. Modern stamps are self-adhesive and don't need to be licked before use}}.
