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.

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
