More Things I’d Like In A(n) (im)Possible Season 3

A continuation of this post from last week.

Under the cut due to being ridiculously long. Also contains major spoilers for AJ:AA and minor spoilers for Spirit of Justice.

So, in Turnabout Stageplay, Apollo is arrested because he supposedly stole an important prop for an upcoming school play (even though we know the real culprit is actually a kleptomaniac bully named Lars Enie). During the night that he spends in solitary confinement, he has a nightmare of the night his father died and wakes up feeling nauseous. The guard on night shift feels really bad because Polly is only a little kid, and offers to take him to the washroom so Apollo doesn’t decorate the walls of his cell with his lunch. After that, the guard decides to help Apollo feel better by having him listen to some music. Polly chooses “The Guitar’s Serenade” because he’s a huge fan of Lamiroir’s music and it helps lull him to sleep during a rather difficult night

The next morning, Phoenix learns of the theft that happened and decides to pay Apollo a visit to learn more about what happened. Apollo is a little sleepy at first due to his rough night, so his vision is somewhat blurry and he simply mumbles, but as soon as he sees the lawyer in the blue suit sitting on the opposite side of the glass window, his sleepiness immediately vanishes because...it’s his idol, the legendary Phoenix Wright!!

Apollo: Are you Phoenix Wright? The legendary blue lawyer?

Phoenix: (Legendary? Since when was I legendary?) Uh, yeah. That’s me.

Apollo: I KNEW IT!! I can’t believe it! Me, sitting before the famous defense attorney! It’s like...it’s like... It’s like a dream come true!

Phoenix: Ahahaha... I see...

Apollo is so freaking excited to meet his idol in person that he lists down all the cases that he had been keeping track of, starting with the very trial when Phoenix cross-examined a parrot to figure out the unsolved DL-6 case and expose Manfred von Karma as the real killer of Gregory Edgeworth (in Turnabout Goodbyes). Phoenix is embarrassed by the notion that someone had been keeping track of all his cases, but also pleased to hear that he has a fan in the form of this 15-year-old teen

This kind of excitement is also why Apollo doesn’t hesitate to hire Phoenix as his lawyer for tomorrow’s trial. After all, Nick’s his idol and Polly wants to see for himself just what kind of a defense attorney he really is with his own eyes

Apollo: Please defend me in court tomorrow, Mr. Wright!

Phoenix: Alright then. If you say so. After all, I’d hate to see a fan of mine get the wrong verdict. (Wow, that happened fast...)

Apollo: Then it’s settled! You go and gather whatever evidence you need to prove my innocence. Oh, and don’t worry about me! My Chords of Steel and I will make sure you get the best, most honest possible testimony from us!

Phoenix: (...Chords of what?)

Nick is just completely baffled that Apollo would be so quick to trust him at first, but he then notes the look in Apollo’s eyes and thinks about the way they burn fiercely with determination...a look that reminds him of his old mentor, the late Mia Fey

Come the day of the trial, Apollo is surprised (and slightly disappointed) that Phoenix appointed Kristoph Gavin as Apollo’s defense attorney, but Nick reassures him and he’ll still defend him as Kristoph’s co-counsel

Apollo turns out to be a reliable client, and is able to debunk his own accusations by presenting his class schedule as evidence. The school play was part of the theater class, which Polly never took (he instead has a music class). It’s decisive evidence that helps Nick and Kristoph identify the real culprit as Lars Enie and nets Apollo a “Not Guilty” verdict

In the 2019 segment of Turnabout Succession, Apollo decides to take the day off by going to the courthouse library so he can study law and become a lawyer like Phoenix one day, like the little nerd/idol he is. Clay just tags along with him because, well, there’s no way he’s letting his best friend out of his sight

Along the way to the library, the boys stop at the defendant lobby where Zak Gramarye’s trial is being held. Apollo forgets about the library and decides to instead sneak in the courtroom through the gallery so he can see the trial taking place. Clay just puts duct tape over Apollo’s mouth because Apollo has NO INDOOR VOICE and Clay doesn’t want to take any chances and risk getting the both of them thrown out

Apollo: ?????????????? (Duct tape?! Clay, what the hell?!)

Clay: Sorry, Apollo, but this is for your own good. You’ll thank me later.

Apollo: (But...but...but my Chords of Steel! I-I thought you liked them!)

So the two of them are just sitting in the courtroom watching the trial go by. Well, Clay is; Apollo’s just trying to scratch a little bit of the stupid duct tape off of his mouth. He finally rips the duct tape off just in time to witness the judge calling out Phoenix for presenting the missing page from Magnifi’s diary, which was forged evidence. Apollo wants to say that Nick didn’t realize the evidence was forged, but he is so stunned by this revelation that he is at a complete loss of words. It’s only when Zak performs his disappearing trick that he screeches a huge “WHAT?!” This attracts the attention of the bailiff and they attempt to throw the boys out. The bailiff manage to capture Clay, but he distracts them long enough for Apollo to make his escape (he gets to the courtroom library and stays until the bailiff give up)

A little while after, Apollo spots Phoenix leaving the courthouse and manages to catch up to him. Phoenix isn’t interested in small talk, but Polly knows that it wasn’t Nick’s fault for presenting the forged evidence

Apollo: The Phoenix Wright I know would NEVER present forged evidence! You just...didn’t know, is all.

Apollo decides to come clean by admitting to Phoenix that his reason for becoming a defense attorney was to study what the law was so that he may one day meet his idol in court and find the truth together. Maybe they would’ve been able to find out who really was behind the murder of Magnifi Gramarye

Phoenix: It’s too late now. I’ve made a mistake...one that has cost me my entire career. And it’s a price I must pay.

Phoenix again attempts to talk out of it when Apollo suddenly recites the motto and gesture displayed by members of the Defiant Dragons: “A dragon never yields.” Nick is so confused over what is running through this boy’s mind, whether he’s that ditzy or just a little naive, but deep down he knows that Apollo’s heart burns fiercely with determination...a fire that, Phoenix thinks, won’t let anything try to extinguish it

The 2019 segment of Turnabout Succession ends with the events taking place seven years later and gradually leading up to Turnabout Trump. Phoenix, now a hobo, visits Kristoph Gavin’s law firm, reminiscing about the trial the two men had worked on together. Upon entering it, he meets Kristoph alongside Apollo, now a rookie defense attorney. Upon recognizing the bracelet around Apollo’s wrist, Phoenix decides to arrange a meeting with Zak Gramarye, now known as Shadi Smith, at the Borscht Bowl Club. Nick and Shadi discuss past events that transpired with Troupe Gramarye, including the accident that “claimed” the life of Thalassa Gramarye. It is revealed that Apollo - who was thought to have grown up as an orphan - is actually Thalassa’s long-lost son, and that he has a half-sister in the form of Phoenix’s adopted daughter Trucy Wright (née Trucy Enigmar due to Shadi being her biological father). While Phoenix muses on this revelation having no connection to what Apollo had said to him seven years ago, he does deduce that it could be the reason why he now wears one of his mother’s bracelets

Everything else is pretty much how it goes with the games, except the 2026 segment of Turnabout Succession is referred to as Turnabout Succession Returns

Listen, if the anime made Turnabout Big Top bearable, then it can make Turnabout Serenade just as good, maybe even better than the mess that it was in the games

That’s all for now! I may add another one if I get any more ideas.

[klapollo]

SO now that i’ve replayed (most of) this game i can safely at least theorize (though its basically...yknow, how the game goes) that AA4 shows a gradual progression of klavier and apollo’s relationship over the course of the game. basic outline:

Turnabout Corner: They meet. Klavier cancels his tour dates and drops everything to meet him, Apollo expects the worst. They butt heads. At the very end of the trial, Apollo realizes that Klavier probably knew what had happened all along, and that he was actually trying to help him out. 

Turnabout Serenade: This case starts roughly where the last one left off, with Klavier being well-meaning and Apollo being cautiously receptive (he begins to note that he prefers Klavier’s prosecutor persona to his rock star one). They have that talk in his office about helping each other, and in the final day of the trial end up collaborating to figure out what happened. Apollo echoes Klavier’s own words to him, and begins to treat him like a partner. Klavier again directly helps out.

Turnabout Succession: Apollo and Klavier basically tag-team to beat Kristoph. Klavier allows his brother to be summoned only when Apollo shows his determination on the topic, and eventually overcomes his own anxieties to help him win the case. Again, they close out the argument together, taking turns explaining what happened.

Credits: Klavier tells Apollo (setting implying they’re spending time together in his office) that he quit music at least partially because he found working alongside him more exciting, and says that he looks forward to working with him again.

in sum thanks for not developing this any further capcom im gonna be bitter for a long time
