Tropes used in Francis Equitas: Ace Casanova include:

• Ambiguous Gender: Tsuki Oukami.
• Asshole Victim: The case 2 victim goes above and beyond previous Asshole Victims in the Ace Attorney games by being a pedophile. To be precise, a sexual predator who made his victims strip in front of a camera. The only reason he didn't do this to his own daughter, Tsuki (the killer) was that she wasn't good enough for him, but he beats her due to her knowledge of his crimes. In fact, this disgusts Francis so much that he not only sympathises with Tsuki, he actually clears her of suspicion as well as get a Not Guilty verdict for his client, cleverly reminding the court that finding the guilty party is not his job, but rather, his job is proving who isn't guilty.
  • Considering some things that the author has implied he is, this has some rather Unfortunate Implications.
• Bifauxnen Tsuki Oukami
• The Cameo: Greeny has contributed work to 'Ping's Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Case 5: Turnabout Substitution fangame.
• Chivalrous Pervert: Francis
• Cloudcuckoolander: Kafuka Fuura
• Darker and Edgier: Case 2 gets seriously dark by the end. The mature content warning is there for a reason.
• Department of Redundancy Department: Doctor Joseph Black talks this way
• Evil Teacher: Oukami-sensei
• Fandom Rivalry: A mild case beetween this and Kristoph Gavin Ace Attorney.
• Fan Service: Tsuki. Although in a certain way, it was also a Fan Disservice...
  • Yes... the reason she stripped down was to show the court the bruises her father gave her.
• Handsome Lech: Francis, to some extent.
• Mythology Gag: Besides the old stepladder gag, remember in Trials And Tribulations when Edgeworth wondered if there was a "kick me" sign taped to the defense's bench? Tsuki, in the third case, tapes a "kick me" sign to the prosecutor's desk to get at Franziska. This troper proceeded to laugh his ass off.
  • As well as Kafuka naming a cherry tree "Pink Princess"
• Self-Made Orphan: Tsuki murdered her father for making schoolgirls strip in front of a camera for him and beating her.
• Shout-Out: An entire case was done as a shout out to Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei.
• Snow Means Death: The Cold Turnabout.
