5-3 scores pretty highly! Many praised how fun the case is and, in particular, Means and his transformation. Others had issues with how they handled Robin and some of the stretches in the murder, such as "You're a goner!"

Summary:

When Apollo takes a case defending one friend in the murder of another, we finally catch up to Case 1, and the circumstances behind the courthouse bombing. Pushed to his limits as a lawyer, Apollo strikes out on his own to find the truth.

Main Characters: Apollo Justice, Athena Cykes, Phoenix Wright, Trucy Wright, Bobby Fulbright, Simon Blackquill
Other Characters: Solomon Starbuck, Juniper Woods, Clay Terran, Yuri Cosmos, Ponco, Aura Blackquill, Clonco

My rating: 6/10. This case bucks the trend in two ways. It's a two-day case, but we skip Investigation 1 and go straight to Trial 1. In addition, this is the first case split between two cases, causing headaches for Ace Attorney case rankers everywhere. This one does feel pretty evenly divided, though. Punished Apollo and Blackquill is a good bout and Starbuck, even though he's quite annoying at first, grows on me. Clay is an interesting addition to Apollo's evergrowing backstory. Cosmos is a fun witness to go up against and...I just really love the setting. I've always enjoyed space exploration and all the space characters just sit well with me.
