* [[Accidental Aesop]]: Don't use your daughter as a pawn in a criminal scheme. In addition to the character who did this in Phoenix Wright's trilogy, there are about ''four'' characters who do it in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. {{spoiler|Phoenix Wright had his daughter give Apollo Justice evidence that Phoenix had forged so that Apollo would present it in court; Drew Misham had his daughter forge paintings and evidence for money; Magnifi Gramarye arguably did this when he blackmailed his students with something they had done to his daughter while apparently not doing much to help her; and Zak Gramarye had his daughter help him escape from his murder trial.}} |

** ''Apollo Justice'' has divided fans into a Phoenix Wright camp and an Apollo Justice camp. Some think the promised fifth game should bring Phoenix back as a lawyer, others believe that Apollo is a good character who just needs another game or two to develop. With the confirmation that it will be Phoenix-centric with Apollo and a new lawyer serving as major characters, fans are still divided about it. |

** [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|Both sides end up getting what they wanted]]: the sequels to this game include both a healthy slice of Apollo, as well as Phoenix making a comeback as a lawyer. |

** Some still view the following games as [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|Phoenix taking away most of the attention from Apollo]], whom is viewed by Apollo fans as the successor to Wright as the series protagonist and titular defense attorney. Wright fans of course simply wanted Wright to return to his position. The developers attempted to compromise and keep the balance by featuring both characters in protagonist roles, in order to please both sides. But ultimately you can't please everybody, evidently. |

** It's also possible to [[Take a Third Option]] and enjoy both characters, but dislike the time skip and related case. Considering that the Phoenix arc ended on an [[Earn Your Happy Ending]] moment, ''Apollo Justice'' opens with information that's something of a mood killer, to put it mildly. It's hard to tell whether people hate Apollo himself, the re-characterized Phoenix, or what the ''Apollo Justice'' game itself did to the canon timeline (which goes way beyond [[Fanon Discontinuity]] territory). |

* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|Kristoph Gavin}}. The game itself hints at the fact that he's much more than the series' average [[Smug Snake]] from the very beginning, and it's made perfectly clear when you have a clear look at his crimes at the end: {{spoiler|Destroying Phoenix Wright's career because he got to defend the client Kristoph wanted, murdering that man over a seven year old failed poker game, nearly kidnapped a little girl and traumatized her to the point to where she was deathly afraid of going outside, and gave her and her father an incredibly lethal poison that would kill them horribly without them realizing it.}} Expect double portion of horror when in the last case, {{spoiler|you use Apollo's ability to see the reactions of Kristoph's body to his own lies. Pay attention to what lies beyond his glasses, and then scroll down to the back of his hand. *Shudder* }}. |

** And don't forget the {{spoiler|black Psyche-Locks}} that Phoenix encounters. We never did find out what that was all about until ''Dual Destinies'', but before that game released, the sight of them is both terrifying and indicative of just how blackhearted this man was. |
