* KickTheSonOfABitch: Killing President Huang's body double and setting up the fall of both Patricia Roland and Blaise Debeste.

Witnesses and miscellaneous characters that appear in the sequel to ''VisualNovel/GyakutenKenji2''. [[Characters/AceAttorney Here]] is the main character sheet.

* TheBadGuyWins: Sure, he was caught, but his main objective was revenge and he got it, big time. Given who his targets were, he probably [[AntiVillain made the world a better place in the process, too]]. He also gets Sirhan Dogen for company as his only real father figure in prison and can easily claim self-defense for the fake Di-Jun Huang's death.

* IndirectSerialKiller: The one murder he did directly commit was [[KillingInSelfDefense out of self-defense]]; the rest he [[TheChessmaster manipulated]] into killing for him. He tries to exploit this fact by pointing out that he [[LoopholeAbuse never actually told anyone to kill]]; he just told them information, and they chose to kill.

* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: The previous game's BigBad, Quercus Alba, was a GreaterScopeVillain in charge of a criminal group with significant international influence and was even protected by his country's laws as ambassador, and was a HateSink with no redeeming traits. Simon Keyes, on the other hand, is working alone, does not have access to significant resources (beyond being able to hire Shelly de Killer), gets the members of a criminal group with significant international influence killed or arrested, and is a SympatheticMurderer outside of his sociopathy.

* BigBad: Catalyzes the events of four out of five of the cases in the game.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Oh, boy, where to start. His father never once looked for him after he went missing as a child, his best friend was forced to hold him captive in a car whose doors quickly froze over and trapped them both inside, the subsequent trauma of the near-death experience leading to amnesia and selective mutism, witnessing a murder and helping protect the main killer [[IOweYouMyLife who was the one who rescued him from the car,]] being brutally interrogated every day by the matron of the orphanage he lived in because she was involved in the aforementioned murder and she needed to know how much he knew, and eventually going on the run for years and never being able to relax or sleep at night because he knew that one of the criminals from the murder plot, an extremely powerful man, was [[LeaveNoWitnesses still gunning for that one loose end of a kid with the knowledge that could bring him and his accomplices down.]]

* IndirectSerialKiller: He only kills one person directly; the rest he [[TheChessmaster manipulated]] into killing for him. He tries to exploit this fact by pointing out that he [[LoopholeAbuse never actually told anyone to kill]]; he just told them information, and they chose to kill.

* ALighterShadeOfBlack: To Blaise Debeste, Patricia Roland, and Fake Di-Jun Huang. Simon is a sadistic psychopath who is fine with ruining the lives of innocents if his intended victims are taken down, yet his primary goal is to take down a group of criminals who have all contributed to destabilising an entire country and ruining countless innocent people's lives. He's an odious bastard, but compared to his victims, he almost seems like the good guy.

* TragicVillain: One of the most sympathetic villains in the series. His mother died when he was young, his father only used him as a taste tester and abandoned him as soon as he didn't need one anymore, he was raised in an OrphanageOfFear, his best friend betrayed him, and his father figure -- the one person in his life to ever show him kindness without later screwing him over -- was an ''assassin''. Even Edgeworth felt sorry for him, and cites that while his actions were heinous, Simon was ultimately a victim of a corrupt legal system, thus giving Edgeworth the resolve to start working his way up to change it for the better.

* WhosLaughingNow: He's gleeful about seeing the conspirators who ruined his life, and who once terrified him be charged with murder (Blaise, Patricia) or end up dead(the body double).

* PunnyName: In reference to the fact that he got replaced by Tyrell Badd early in the investigation, only to take over from Badd again after he refused to co-operate with von Karma.

* DiseaseBleach: If you want proof of how scary Manfred von Karma is, just look at this man's hair. It went white after a ''single day'' of interrogation.

* DropTheHammer: She died this way. Technically this would be more a case of "Drop The Gavel", but they both get about the same results.

* VillainHasAPoint: When Justine has enough of his treatment of Sebastian and calls him out, Blaise counters that [[NotSoDifferentRemark Justine used Sebastian as a pawn]] [to help bring Blaise down. Justine admits he has a point, but counters that she actually had some appreciation for Sebastian's good intentions in spite of his ineptitude, unlike Blaise.

* ChekhovsGun: While in the detention center, he discovers he has an illness that leaves him unable to taste salt (he never noticed it before since he usually only eats desserts). It turns out that the real killer has a more severe form of the same illness and can't taste ''anything'', which played a part in his motive.

* SweetTooth: He mentions that he only eats sweets. This is justified as he exhibits a disorder that prevents him from tasting salt, meaning any non-sweets will just end up flavorless to him.

* CorpseTemperatureTampering: Attempted this with Dover's corpse, but because of a series of circumstances beyond his control, the frozen body went missing and Gustavia was unable to execute his original plan, although he ended up benefitting from the fact than von Karma had already arrested Masters (von Karma couldn't back down for the sake of his perfect record).

* DoomedByCanon: Since it's an established fact that von Karma was unbeaten for 40 straight years prior to Turnabout Goodbyes and said prosecutor is revealed early on to be in charge of the case, the player can guess that Masters is not really escaping a guilty verdict, regardless of his evident innocence.

* DiseaseBleach: If you want proof of how scary Manfred von Karma is, just look at this man's hair. It went white after a ''single day'' of interrogation.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Among the villains of the game, he has the smallest role in the plot and doesn't contribute much to the final case beyond being Simon Keyes's father, in addition to his murder being separate from the overarching plot. Yet for a man who's pretty much the game's only filler villain, his impact is rivaled only by Blaise Debeste:

** His nom de plume "Pierre Hoquet" is a pun on "digging one's own grave" in Japanese, and also means "Stone Hiccup" in French.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Probably the biggest one in ''Investigations 2''. Ordering his son Knightley to kidnap Keyes 18 years ago pretty much kickstarted the events of the ''whole game''.

* VillainRespect: Harbors no ill will towards Edgeworth who was the one that helped put him behind bars even cooperating with him in his own way. He is also this towards his rival, Shelly, who returns the sentiment.

* EvilRedhead: Had light auburn hair and was arguably the worst person involved in the IS-7 Incident, despite being the victim.

* EvilRedhead: Had chestnut-colored hair and was arguably the worst person involved in the IS-7 Incident, despite being the victim.

* PenName: "Pierre Hoquet", the French sculptor. Dover was not French however, implying that he was trying to make his work look more high-class than it actually was to justify its exorbitant prices (although he ''did'' have genuine talent).
