Line 21:
* [[Just for Pun|Butz... er, sorry, I mean...]] [[Butt Monkey]]: Has terrible luck in the romance department, especially in the manga, in which, in Turnabout with the Wind {{spoiler|his girlfriend Belle turns out to be the murderer, only talking to him to create an alibi (although she wasn't planning on framing him)}}.
* [[Casanova Wannabe]]
* [[Desperately Looking for Aa Purpose In Life]]: In the third game.
* [[The Ditz]]: Probably ''why'' trouble follows him everywhere.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
Line 27:
* [[Ocular Gushers]]: And HOW!
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: "When something smells, it's usually the Butz."
* [[Spanner in Thethe Works]]: He derails the [[Big Bad]]'s plans in two different games. In the first game, Edgeworth states that he's the first witness Von Karma was unable to manipulate in advance, and thus the first unplanned element in his 40 years of prosecution.
** In the manga, by getting arrested as the suspect in Turnabout With the Wind by various things he does to make himself seem suspicious (calling Bright Bonds to demand that he back out of Belle's life, and running from the cops), {{spoiler|Belle ends up having to prove his alibi, and ends up incriminating herself with her own testimony}}.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: In one of the cases in [[Ace Attorney Investigations Miles Edgeworth|Investigations]], Miles must prove that he couldn't have been the murderer after a lengthy discussion with Agent Lang. After that, '''Larry''' questions your theory and you have to play another discussion to convince ''him'' that he couldn't have been the murderer, while he tries to prove you wrong. ''In front of Lang.''
Line 61:
 
* [[The Cameo]]: As well as his main appearance in the second case, he appears in the 5th case, is referenced occasionally by Phoenix, {{spoiler|Shelly de Killer}} wears his outfit in the second game, and in ''Investigations'', he appears as {{spoiler|the real Proto Badger}}.
* [[Distracted Byby the Sexy]]: Done on purpose by April May.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|Everyone calls him the Bellboy]]
* [[No Name Given]]
Line 94:
A wealthy "businessman" who built his powerful company through blackmailing lawyers, judges, politicians, police, and all sorts of other people. Thanks to him, word of the police using a spirit medium for DL-6 got leaked to the press. So if not for him, Mia wouldn't have (specifically) become a lawyer herself. Then again, he's the one who kills her.
 
* [[Death Byby Irony|Conviction By Irony]]: {{spoiler|The master blackmailer is eventually blackmailed into confessing to the murder...by the woman he killed no less}}
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]
* [[Gratuitous English]]: In Japanese, poorly.
* [[Gratuitous Spanish]]: In English, [[Keep It Foreign|equally poorly]].
* [[Head Desk]]: When Phoenix starts cornering him.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|The piece of paper he used to pin the murder on Maya becomes an important evidence to prove his guilt; then it's implied that the list that Mia had Phoenix read in court that got Redd to confess is a list of people he's blackmailed.}}
* [[Information Broker]]: Bluecorps provided enough dirt on just about everyone for White to use it as blackmail material and force everyone to do as he pleased.
** [[Screw the Rules, I Have Connections]]: One of his victim was the Chief Prosecutor. This made Blanco Nino a man above the law.
Line 143:
* [[Berserk Button]]: Inverted. She usually calms down when Edgeworth shows up.
* [[Blush Sticker]]: Pops up at the thought of her latest celebrity obsession. Best not thought about at any length.
* [[Donut Mess Withwith a Cop]]: A security guard, but she's quite fond of donuts.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: {{spoiler|In what might be a bizarre [[Shout-Out]] to a [[So Bad It's Good]] fan H-game, ''Investigations'' puts her in an extremely busty Pink Princess outfit.}}
** You also get to collect {{spoiler|her undershirt}} as evidence. Edgeworth is rightfully shaken by the very thought.
Line 236:
* [[Fiery Redhead]]
* [[Funny Afro]]: In the second game, she asks if you remember her name. "Lotta Hair" is one of the possible answers.
* [[Going for Thethe Big Scoop]]: This is Lotta's ONLY reason for being on ANY of the crime scenes she shows up at.
* [[The Idiot From Osaka|The Idiot From The South]]
* [[Intrepid Reporter]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Lotta isn't exactly what one would consider the nicest person in the world. In fact the first time you find her she not only seems ABSOLUTELY NUTS but is loud and rude. Until you tell her she might be a witness to a murder...
** Despite being hot-tempered and sassy, she's actually one of the most willingly helpful repeating characters.
* [[Laughing Mad]]: Happens once in case two in the second game. It scares the heck out of Phoenix Wright.
Line 261:
* [[Follow in My Footsteps]]: He {{spoiler|as part of his [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]}} mistakes Phoenix and Maya for his children and wants them to take over the "noodle shop" after he's gone.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: {{spoiler|For fifteen years he acted insane to back up Hammond's insanity plea. He wasn't too happy about it.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]/[[Shout-Out]]: {{spoiler|His name and his [[Split Personality]] resemble [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Yami Yugi.]] Meanwhile, "Kotaro Haine" is a reference to the poets Kotaro Takamura, who died of a broken heart; and Haine, who valued youth and romance.}}
* [[Senior Sleep Cycle]]
* [[Snot Bubble]]
Line 326:
** Also, "rich" and "well".
** And [[Smug Snake|he's a dick.]]
* [[Motor Mouth]]: When he's nervous, he starts talking things that have nothing to do with the case (even with highlighted text!). Can be even worse about it than that [[Rhymes Onon a Dime|old hag Oldbag]].
* [[Preppy Name]]
* [[Public Domain Soundtrack|Public Domain Ringtone]]: {{spoiler|[[Johann Sebastian Bach|Bach]]'s ''Toccatta & Fugue in D Minor'', which proves crucial for nailing the case since he stole Phoenix's cell phone thinking it to be his, which had evidence incriminating him.}}
Line 385:
** Calling his friends "[his] sweeties".
* [[Facial Markings]]: He has big purple stars on one cheek.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: He acts arrogant and conceited, but only to make his circus mates strive to become better.
* [[Large Ham]]
* [[Nice Hat]]: It's a purple silk and has a peacock feather in it. Absolutely ''fabulous''.
Line 438:
* [[Sad Clown]]
* [[Scrolling Text]]
* [[Talkative Loon]]: English version only -- in addition to the [[Mouthful of Pi]] mentioned above, he also recites the openings of ''[[The Fresh Prince of Bel -Air|The Fresh Clown of Bel Air]]'' and ''[[The A-Team (TV)|The C-Team]]''.
 
=== '''Benjamin Woodman and Trilo Quist''' (''Ben Kozumi'' and ''Rilo'') ===
Line 453:
* [[Shrinking Violet]]
* [[Speech Impediment]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Ben = Ven.
 
=== '''Acro''' ===
Line 474:
* [[Manly Tears]]
* [[Meaningful Name]]/[[Punny Name]]: "Dingling" is probably a combination of "Ringling" and "dangling", and Kinoshita is a Japanese circus. Don't forget the obvious "Acrobat."
* {{spoiler|[[Murder Byby Mistake]]}}: {{spoiler|Regina was his intended target, but he ended up killing her father instead...to add insult to injury, the man was like a father to him, and he was so upset upon discovering that he had killed him instead that he even contemplated suicide.}}
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: He and his brother didn't run away to the circus, ''their parents'' ran away and they had nowhere else to go.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]
Line 513:
* {{spoiler|[[The Sociopath]]}}
* [[Surfer Dude]]: He's got the [[Verbal Tic]], but it is unknown if he likes surfing. He certainly loves motorbikes, though.
* {{spoiler|[[Surveillance Asas the Plot Demands]]: He hid a camera in a giant stuffed bear's eye to spy on Juan. And at the same time attempt to blackmail deKiller.}}
* {{spoiler|[[The Reveal]]: "Hold on a sec. I'm gonna consult myself, okay?"}}
* {{spoiler|[[Two-Faced]]}}
Line 551:
 
* [[Affably Evil]]
* [[Badass in Aa Nice Suit]]
* [[The Butler Did It]]: Well, hell, he ''does'' pose as a butler...
* [[Calling Card]]: One of the aforementioned measures taken to protect clients.
Line 603:
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: For the Judges and Payne, to Mia's chagrin.
* [[It's for Aa Book]]: One of her excuses, it doesn't last long.

Line 615:
* [[Smug Snake]]
* [[The Vamp]]
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: First when Mia exposes her as the [[Complete Monster|complete monster]] she really is, and the second {{spoiler|when Mia lectures her to the underworld.}}
* [[Wicked Cultured]]: How many soulless murderers are literature students?
* [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]: A favorite. Too bad (for her) it doesn't work on Mia.
Line 699:
The head of Blue Screens Inc. and Glen's old boss. Incredibly precise and may very well actually be a robot.
 
* [[Fun Withwith Palindromes]]
* [[Making a Spectacle of Yourself]]: She doesn't even NEED to wear an HMD but does anyway.
* [[Medium Awareness]]: Whenever you mention someone or something with a picture, it pops up on the screen; she's the only character in the series who ''moves slightly out of the way'' to make room for it.
* [[Red Herring]]: If you think she has anything to do with the case or trial, think again. {{spoiler|You pressure a little minor info about the victim out of her (that probably could have been deduced through other means) and she's never mentioned again.}}
* [[Robot Girl]]: ...like a [[Ghost in Thethe Shell]], as Phoenix puts it.
* [[Theme Naming]]: All Blue Screens Inc employees have [[Fun Withwith Palindromes|palindrome names]].
* [[Tron Lines]]: ...in her ''clothes''.
 
Line 816:
 
* [[Animal Motifs]]: His hairstyle and the "whisker" marks on his face are meant to emulate a fox, and the fox is the Kitaki family's symbol.
* [[Damn, It Feels Good to Be Aa Gangster!]]: His parents disagree, and decide to go legit partly because he got shot because of their criminal practices, {{spoiler|and partly to pay for his operation}}.
* [[Jive Turkey]]: Evidently Wocky doesn't comprehend the difference between "gangster" and "gangsta".
* [[Meal Ticket]]
Line 877:
** The effect of which can also be taken as [[Sinister Shades]] or [[Hidden Eyes]].
* [[Eyes Always Shut]]: Most likely because they become puppy dog eyes when they're open.
* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: He resembles [[The Godfather (Film)|Don Corleone]], according to Court Records.
* [[Yakuza]]
 
Line 910:
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: {{spoiler|Lamiroir is actually Thalassa Gramarye, mother of Trucy and Apollo}}.
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|She is the final juror who decides the outcome of the last case.}}
* [[Girl in Aa Box|Woman In A Contrabass Case]]
 
=== '''Machi Tobaye''' ===
Line 919:
 
* [[Blind Musician]]: {{spoiler|Actually, he's just faking it.}}
* [[Confess to Aa Lesser Crime]]: {{spoiler|What saves him from being convicted of murder, and exposes Daryan in the end. Apollo reveals that if he confesses to smuggling cocoons in court, he will be able to avoid the death penalty, and Daryan breaks down after realizing that this will expose him}}.
* [[Bishonen]]
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: Lampshaded, twice. Though his name comes directly from his Japanese name (Maki Tobayu) so that helps.
Line 940:
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Aww, poor little thing!!
* [[Shy Blue-Haired Girl]]
* [[Spanner in Thethe Works]]: As a result of ''not'' being the [[Unwitting Pawn]].
* [[When She Smiles]]
 
Line 1,039:
Ernest's only son, and victim of kidnapping. {{spoiler|Orchestrated his own kidnapping, and accidental killer of Oliver Deacon.}}
 
* [[Chained Byby Fashion]]: Not by his own choice; Lance spends all the case handcuffed. His hurt/take damage animation shows said handcuffs are a bit too big for him, though, {{spoiler|and in his breakdown, they snap apart}}.
* [[Chick Magnet]]: His father thinks so, but while he does have a cute girlfriend (whom he doesn't hesitate to betray), the only other girl [[Trouble Entendre|supposedly interested in him]] is [[Loan Shark|Viola Cadaverini]].
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: {{spoiler|Subverted. As shown above, he orchestrated his own kidnapping to pay off a debt.}}
Line 1,121:
** {{spoiler|Or rather, he ''pretended'' to be one to secure an alibi.}}
* [[Four-Star Badass]]/[[Retired Badass]]/[[Ambadassador]]: {{spoiler|Manny had a longer knife and was half Alba's age. He barely nicked Alba's shoulder.}}
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: {{spoiler|Twice. One occasion has him attempting to secure an alibi by claiming to have been watching a Steel Samurai stage show and citing the Samurai's debuting special move as proof that he was there. Problem is, not only was a different move used due to unforeseen circumstances, but the only way Alba could have known of the move he named was if he had been backstage during the time of the murder. Later, you present him with a bloodstained hot dog box, assuming that the blood belongs to the victim. Alba correctly points out that such evidence would do nothing to place him at the crime scene personally, and the blood turns out not to be the victim's anyway. Rather, it is the blood of ''Alba himself'', who tells you earlier in the case that he had been stabbed in order to create a justified self-defense plea for a separate murder.}}
* [[It's All My Fault]]: {{spoiler|Part of his front.}}
* [[Leitmotif]]: {{spoiler|"The Enemy Who Surpasses The Law"}}
Line 1,147:
A self-proclaimed up-and-coming journalist. She witnessed the assassination attempt at Gourd Lake and recorded the president's speech. She soon becomes one of the suspects. {{spoiler|She is innocent}}, even though she did help set up the {{spoiler|fake assassination plan}}.
 
* {{spoiler|[[Back for Thethe Finale]]}}: To search for the real Borumosu.
* [[Bear Trap]]: Carried one on her parka.
* [[Going for Thethe 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]]
Line 1,185:
* [[Took a Level In Jerkass]]: My GOD does he takes this [[Up to Eleven]] as the case progresses.
* [[Tsundere]]: Though he is most certainly tsuntsun by default, {{spoiler|Sōta}} is quite possibly the only person he'd show his deredere side to.
* [[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid]]
* {{spoiler|Villainous Breakdown: Notable among Ace Attorney breakdowns because this one involves ''the background'': Naitou bites down on his lip with sunken-looking eyes as he screams bloody murder and twirls his gun even faster than usual until he loses control and starts tossing it rapidly up in the air; since he is standing in an airplane at the time, it dislodges the overhead compartment and causes various objects to fall on his head, knocking him ''into his neckbrace'' until he falls.}}
* [[Villainous Cheekbones]]
Line 1,234:
* [[The Runaway]]: A combination of Orphan and Circus type.
* {{spoiler|[[Sissy Villain]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Spanner in Thethe Works]]}}
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Type A and {{spoiler|C}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Sympathy for Thethe Devil]]}}: Though whether or not he's truly {{spoiler|a devil}} is up to you.
* {{spoiler|[[Tragic Villain]]}}
* [[Used to Be Aa 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}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]}}: After all the {{spoiler|crap he went through}}, you almost {{spoiler|can't ''blame'' him}} for becoming {{spoiler|a [[Magnificent Bastard]] [[Monster Clown]]}}.
Line 1,249:
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 Asas the Enemy]]
* [[Gonk]]
* [[Meaningful Name]] / [[Punny Name]]: His full name is a pun on "ori no naka shūjin", which means "prisoner in a cage".
Line 1,277:
* [[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 Asas 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]]
* [[Noble Demon]]
Line 1,415:
 
* {{spoiler|[[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]}}: {{spoiler|Manipulated Larry into taking the fall for her killing Bonds for rejecting her}}
* [[Expy]]: Her hair and kimono make her look somewhat like Aoi from ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi (Manga)|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]]}}
Line 1,461:
 
* [[Dead Little Sister|Dead Little Brother]]: Mr. Wolfe essentially [[Driven to Suicide|drove Eddie to suicide]], {{spoiler|so he sought revenge}}.
* [[Confess to Aa Lesser Crime]]: {{spoiler|He admits to setting fire to Wolfe Manor when it looks as though Bobby might get off, after Edgeworth tricks him into confessing. He claims that he's doing this to catch a murderer, although he's hoping to avoid being revealed}}.
* {{spoiler|[[Dead Person Impersonation]]}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]/ [[Shout-Out]]: He and his brother Eddie’s names, combined, form “[[Spider -Man|Eddie Brock]]”, also known as [[Venom]].
* [[Muscles Are Meaningful]]: {{spoiler|After all, he was the only one who could lift all the furniture of the Den of Spiders up onto the ceiling.}}
* [[Nice Hat]]: {{spoiler|He uses his hat as part of his impersonation of his dead brother.}}
Line 1,486:
* [[The Cutie]]: Phoenix is quite attracted to her, presumably because she slightly resembles Dahlia. It's unclear whether this is before or after {{spoiler|he learns Iris actually did love him.}}
* [[Standard Female Grab Area]]: Gumshoe takes her away this way. Justified in that resisting arrest is not a good idea.
* [[Working Withwith the Ex]]: There is some unspoken tension between her and Flip because he left her for another girl, leading her to be suspected for his murder.
 
=== '''Raymond Spume''' (''Kosuke Kasugai'') ===
Line 1,518:
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Two cases later, Buck Wheatley is the victim.
* [[This Trope Is Bleep]]: When he first sees Phoenix and Maya.
* [[Trapped Byby Gambling Debts]]: When Phoenix is identified as a defense lawyer, Raymond suspects Buck turned to crime to pay back his debts.
 
=== '''Cameron Show''' (''Shotaro Sakae'') ===
Line 1,531:
A fortune teller specifies in ice cream fortune telling.
 
* [[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]]
