10	----
11	!! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney \| Zootopia Defence contains examples of:
12

14	* ADogNamedDog: Many of these, examples include...
15	** A gazelle named Gazelle.
16	** A witness named Whit Ness.
17	** A forger named For G'er.
18	** Finnick's last name is 'Fox', and he is a fennec fox.
19	** A koala named David Koalabell.
20	* AnimalJingoism: Predator and Prey relations are contested within the plotline, much like in the movie.
21	* AlternateContinuity: Obviously these events never happened in either Ace Attorney or Zootopia canon.
22	* AlwaysMurder: The moment he arrives in Zootopia, Phoenix Wright finds himself defending someone for a murder they did not commit.
23	* AnimationBump: The Ace Attorney characters are animated as they would be in-game, the Zootopia characters are static vectors.
24	* ArbitrarySkepticism: Edgeworth, he believes he has been drugged by some assailant over the reality of his situation. At least at first.
25	* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Doug Ramses, a hitman hired by the villain of the Zootopia Movie, is killed by Jack Savage at the witness stand.]]
26	* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Jack Savage has a HeelFaceTurn in the bonus case after having his black psyche locks broken. He's still in prison for potentially life, but he has a different outlook on things.]]
27	* BackFromTheDead: Mia Fey, in ghost form anyway.
28	* BatmanGambit: Phoenix keeps interrupting the verdict with any objection possible to give Edgeworth time to do his work outside the courtroom.
29	* BearsAreBadNews: Phoenix is a little shocked when a giant polar bear shows up, and that bear is one of Mr Big's henchmen.
30	* BerserkButton: Pretty much all of the witness breakdowns.
31	** Jack Savage if [[spoiler: you break his black locks incorrectly, leading to a bad ending.]]

41	* ButtMonkey: Phoenix Wright, who else?
42	* CallAHumanAMeatbag: Weaselton states Phoneix must be an ape who escaped a zoo (because apes and other primates aren't sapient in Zootopia, no humans). Bellwether also surmises he is the product of a hairless ape mating with a porcupine (a dig at his hair, of course).

47	* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Our Judge has moments of being clueless as always.
48	* TheConspiracy: [[spoiler:Jack Savage, with helps from a bunch of accomplices including Whit Ness, For G'er, David Koalabell and Dawn Bellwether created several crimes where predators were framed for harming prey species just because they were prey species. The intent of this was to renew the racial tension and unrest in Zootopia and through that the rest of the country. He failed each time thanks to our ButtMonkey of a lawyer, and in the end attempted to slink away a free man by framing Judy Hopps as the mastermind.]]

[[spoiler:Luckily, Mia Fey and Miles Edgeworth were having none of it.]]
57	* DidIJustSayThatOutLoud: Sometimes characters seem to be able to read Phoenix's thoughts. Of course, he's just that predictable in their eyes.

75	* NaiveNewcomer: Phoenix is unaware that 'cute' is a racial slur to bunnies, and ends up saying it to a police officer.
76	* NearVillainVictory: Wright's case is, as always, saved at the very last moment. Isn't it good to have friends?
