3 | ''Kristoph Gavin: Ace Attorney'' is a fanfic/webcomic (more commonly known in its circle as a "Sprite Comic" based on the ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' 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 ContinuityPorn, although this hasn't cost it so far. |
4 | |
5 | It has unfortunately fallen off the face of the internet. |
6 | ---- |
7 | !!This Sprite Comic provides examples of: |
8 | * AFatherToHisMen: Kurtis, in a somewhat literal example. |
9 | * AlternateContinuity: A fangame version has been announced, which will be one of these. |
10 | * AmoralAttorney: Ian Justice. |
11 | * AnachronismStew: The first case takes place after the remaining three cases have already finished. |
12 | * AnimalMotifs: A currently unnamed group of mysterious characters all have codenames based on birds. |
13 | * AnimatedAdaptation: One of these is in the works. Travolta3335 and Naruhodou Minuki of ''WebVideo/ApolloJusticeAbridged'' appear to be likely cast members, but no-one has been confirmed yet. |
14 | * AprilFoolsDay: In 2010, Simon is suddenly revealed to have killed Robert Dobbel and Ed Gardson, and then shoots Kristoph. |
15 | ** BigNo: Kristoph does one of these just before being shot. |
16 | * {{Backstory}}: The whole concept of the comic is Kristoph's backstory. |
17 | * BerserkButton: [[spoiler:Do not insult Kurtis Gavin in front of Kristoph. Just fucking don't.]] |
18 | ** If Kohal thinks you're guilty, don't bother asking him to help you. It won't end well. |
19 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler:Harry Brushel.]] |
20 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler:Again, Harry Brushel.]] |
21 | * DeadpanSnarker: Pretty much everyone. |
22 | * DeusExMachina: The medical report in "The Grave Turnabout". There were just way too many coincidences. |
23 | ** The phonecall to Princeton in A Lesson In Turnabout is a slight example -- page 79 is even called ''Deus EX Phonecall''. |
24 | * [[BunnyEarsLawyer Elf Ears Lawyer]] |
25 | * {{Expy}}: According to WordOfGod, Ian Justice is an {{Expy}} of Manga/{{Bleach}}'s Ryuken Ishida. |
26 | ** Also, Jeremy Cale was originally based on Jaz Coleman of Killing Joke. |
27 | * FormulaBreakingEpisode: After each case, a single "Omake" page is added that has ''absolutely nothing'' to do with the case. The AprilFoolsDay page is one of these as well. |
28 | * GenFic: No sexual relationships have been hinted at thus far. |
29 | * HeyThatsMyLine: |
30 | -->'''Kristoph''': Well, anyway, would you mind if I had a look around?\ |
31 | '''Simon''': Well... you can, but I doubt you'll find anything.\ |
32 | '''Kristoph''': Ah, good. Thanks for your cooperation.\ |
33 | '''Simon''': Hey, that's my line! |
34 | * JerkAss: Artie Pallet. |
35 | * IAlwaysWantedToSayThat: "Attention attorneys! My hair is starting the trial! ...Sorry. I always wanted to say that." |
36 | ** "That's enough! GET OUT OF MY CRIME SCENE! ...Heh heh. Just [[RougeAnglesOfSatin kiiding]]. Always wanted to say that at least once." |
37 | * LampshadeHanging: In "A Lesson In Turnabout", they keep pointing out how light it is outside despite the time. This is presumably to cover up for the creator being lazy. |
38 | * MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Apollo seems to be getting this treatment from Kurtis. |
39 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: Yet again, [[spoiler:Harry Brushel.]] |
40 | * OldShame: Custom sprite design and plot continuity in the first arc of the comic, according to WordOfGod. Fans have yet to figure out what he was referring to in the continuity. |
41 | ** And he now says the same of A Lesson In Turnabout, which he is trying to fix in the VideoGameAdaptation. |
42 | * OriginalFlavour |
43 | * OutOfCharacter |
44 | ** AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: 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.]] |
45 | *** Specifically this is seen as DracoInLeatherPants. |
46 | *** According to WordOfGod, "I never intended to [[spoiler:[[BlackAndGreyMorality make Kristoph good.]] No more so than, say, L from Death Note, and according to Manga/DeathNote's WordOfGod, "only Soichiro is good"]]. I only intended to have his actions in ''Apollo Justice'' make a little more sense, and I used a [[spoiler:BerserkButton]] to try and make it work. Also, future events will change one mentioned fault, although I won't go into detail yet". |
47 | ** Also, OriginalCharacter Lloyd Blackburn was apparently interpreted by fans far differently to how the author intended. |
48 | *** Much to the author's chagrin. |
49 | * PrecisionFStrike: See BerserkButton. |
50 | * PunnyName: Harry Brushel is a pun on Hairbrush, in reference to his profession as a hairdressing teacher. |
51 | ** And then there's the first case victim, Barry Moyer, which is intended to sound like "paranoia". |
52 | ** {{Subverted|Trope}} with Princeton Badcock. Thankfully. |
53 | *** Not quite... Princeton is intended as a pun on his profession as a Principal. His last name is the last name of the principal of the author's college. |
54 | ** Ian Justice is [[spoiler:Injustice.]] |
55 | ** Robert Dobbel comes from [[spoiler:Robber and Double Life.]] |
56 | *** His surnames also doubles as a {{pun}} for his children, who are twins. |
57 | ** Artie Pallet is an artist. The pun is kind of obvious. |
58 | ** Shirley Patton comes from Swirly Pattern. |
59 | * RougeAnglesOfSatin: Usually minor. |
60 | ** This tends to be the primary fuel for the FanDumb's {{Grammar Nazi}}sm. |
61 | * RunningGag: Krissy. |
62 | ** Kohal's ears. |
63 | ** Kristoph hates stairs. |
64 | * SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Kristoph and Shirley seem to be this. |
65 | * ScaryShinyGlasses: Kristoph, although this trope really belongs to ''Ace Attorney'' itself more than it does to this Sprite Comic. |
66 | * ScheduleSlip: Whilst the comic doesn't update on a regular schedule, it tends to do so at least once a week. On a few occasions, though, it has gone several weeks with no updates. |
67 | ** The last update to the fic was in ''September 2011'', so it's safe to say this is becoming a DeadFic. |
68 | * ScriptFic: To an extent. The characters all have text boxes with their names attached. |
69 | * [[SirSwearsALot Miss Swears-a-Lot]]: Shirley Patton. Mostly when she's angry. |
70 | * ShoutOut: Several of the individual comic's titles, such as ''[[Music/MCHammer Hammer Time!]]'', ''[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons The J Stands For "Jay"]]'' and ''[[{{VideoGame/Portal}} Still Alive]]''. |
71 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: How the hell do you pronounce Kohal Leicht anyway? For that matter, what the hell does "Kohal Leicht" mean? |
72 | ** Actually, WordofGod has stated that "Kohal"[[note]]pronounced Koh-hahl[[/note]] was simply an edited version of "Kohl", which is "Cabbage" in german."Leicht"[[note]]pronounced Likht[[/note]] means "Easy", in the same language. Oddly enough, no one has made fun of his name yet. |
73 | *** Especially since Kristoph himself is German, and should spot the wordplay easily. |
74 | *** It would appear that, since reading this, the writer has {{ascended|Fanon}} this and had Kristoph do this in a recent comic. |
75 | * SpinOff: Obvious. |
76 | * StalkerWithACrush: Artie Pallet, although the crush part is undetermined. |
77 | * TheVerse: Oyashiro-Tan, who originally designed Kohal, has now made a fanfic featuring him. Presumably, it's the same fictional universe, although it is unknown whether the two of them have a continuity sorted out. |
78 | * WebSerialNovel |
