* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler:Sort of. While he did get an undeserved Not Guilty verdict, he doesn't even get to enjoy it beyond the courthouse due to being shortly killed after by Rupert Chrogray.]]

!!Egg Benedict / [[spoiler:Rupert Chrogray/Milverton]]

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Admits he became just as bad as [[spoiler:Megundal in his scheme to get revenge on him.]] Van Zeiks even paraphrases the [[TropeNamer trope-naming]] quote when he calls him out on this.

* LoanShark: [[spoiler:What he actually is. It's implied that this is his motive for murdering Morta, though this is proven false later on.]]

!!Egg Benedict / [[spoiler:Robert Crogley]]

* TheAce: Case 5's Juror #5 is one of his fangirls and shows him as this in his line of work.

* FreudianExcuse: He was born in the slums, a life of poverty that he deeply resented. This gave him an unhealthy obsession to hoard money to cope with that miserable childhood. Even after managing to make a respectable and well-paid career as a telecommunicator, he couldn't let go his desire of amassing more money, which led him to [[spoiler:accept Megundal's deal and steal secret information from the British government.]]

* {{Determinator}}: To give readers an idea, it's almost like if [[VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Quercus Alba]] made it to the eitness stand.

** [[[spoiler:It's also hinted at in his real name, Crogley, as it's a romanized portmenteau of ''kuro''-grey (black-grey).]]

!!Grimesby Roylott

!!Egg Benedict [[spoiler: Rupert Chrogray]]

* {{Determinator}}: He gives [[AceAttorneyInvestigationsMilesEdgeworth Alba]] a run for his money in sheer tenacity.

* {{Red Herring}}: Downplayed, [[spoiler: he was the one who planned the murder however he didn't directly kill Meningen.]]

* Red Herring: Downplayed [[spoiler: he was the one who planned the murder, however he didn't directly kill Meningen.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: Has three: ''London'' usually plays whenever you talk to him in case 4, [[spoiler:as a standalone theme, "The Great Detective's Friendship", used in the reveal of him being Holmes' partner, and - together with Sherlock - "Partners ~ The game is afoot!", the main theme of DGS 2, used both in the reveal that he's Holmes' partner, and during the Joint Reasoning segment in the Barabrook.]]

* Butt Monkey: He might honestly be one of the biggest ones in the series, while he's never accused of murder, his life in Britain was completely miserable as almost everyone made fun of him and barely anyone respected him due to him being a Japanese.

This culminated in him almost never leaving his lodgings, however just staying home didn't stop the fact that [[spoiler: he was accused of two instances of manslaughter and witnessed one murder.]]
That's not all though, [[spoiler: every night he felt that someone was trying to strangle him, later on this was revealed to be Pretency who was blowing in gasoline-induced asphyxiation into his room in an attempt to make Soseki leave his room, so he could have his hands on Selden's treasure.]]
[[spoiler: Pretency previously did this exact same plan against Duncan Ross, Soseki's life was at stake every night.]]

* {{Leitmotif}}: Has two: [[spoiler:As a standalone theme, "The Great Detective's Friendship", used in the reveal of him being Holmes' partner, and - together with Sherlock - "Partners ~ The game is afoot!", the main theme of DGS 2, used both in the reveal that he's Holmes' partner, and during the Joint Reasoning segment in the Barabrook.]]

* {{Expy}}: The mustaches, size difference (in height and width) and red and green color schemes all point to them being [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario and Luigi]], but as burglars instead of plumbers.

* Of Dzibilchaltunchucnchucmil, being a short witness who pesters people about his name.

* Demoted to Extra: While he had a large role in the first game as a witness to the murder in case 3 and as a juror in case 4, in the second game he only returns once as a juror in the second case (which is a flashback case that takes place during the first game.)

* Demoted to Extra: While he had a large role in the first game as a witness to the murder in case 3 and as a juror in case 4, in the second game he only returns once as a bailiff in the second case (which is a flashback case that takes place during the first game.)

Witnesses and miscellaneous characters that appear in the spinoff ''Dai Gyakuten Saiban'' series. [[Characters/AceAttorney Here]] is the main character sheet.

* CrazyPrepared: [[spoiler:Used curare, a poison that not only is totally unknown in Japan, but one that is only lethal by administering it through the bloodstream, and thus she (temporarily) disproves Ryuunosuke's theory by drinking the poisoned tonic water.]]
* EvilBrit: All these spoiler tags should make it pretty obvious. [[spoiler:This actually causes a lot of problems, as the Japanese government wants to avoid prosecuting her out of fear of hurting Japanese-British relations.]]

* KarmaHoudini: Downplayed and eventually subverted. [[spoiler:After her guilt is revealed, the Japanese court is unable to persecute her for her crimes, due to the extradition treaty between Japan and England, but she is dropped off to British authorities in Shanghai with her fate after that unknown...until the sequel, where she is found dead in a beach house in the first case, a day before her scheduled deportation.]]

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Very racist towards the Japanese. Downplayed, as [[DeliberateValuesDissonance this would have been fairly normal at the time]] the game is set, as British values tended towards the WhiteMansBurden.

* TheUnintelligible: Downplayed. Her 'English' is rendered as unreadable doctor's cursive, and Hosonaga has to translate for her. Justified, as she is in a Japanese court. Some of her cursive text are intelligible English words like "Oh", or "What". [[spoiler: She eventually drops her façade and speaks Japanese.]]

* CompositeCharacter: Of Birdly and [[spoiler: Richard Wellington.]] He has an appearance similar to the former and is very theatrical, while he [[spoiler: puts up a front of elegance, but is revealed to be a violent crook, like the latter.]]
