God, Apollo just hoping he’s lying to himself about speculating Dhurke died always hurts to read. And his breakdown. It’s so simple. just a basic head slam to the desk and scream. And yet? It’s so effective to capture the grief of knowing you’ve lost a dad for the second time. Not to mention this is the first time we’ve seen Apollo have a distress animation.
And the fact you, the player, are right there with Apollo as you piece things together yourself. 'This...cant be the answer, right? No, no..I mustve missed something in the evidence.' But it was the truth and you have to present it and face it full force.
The worst thing about this death is not that it happens, it's the fact that Apollo discovers it after having found and appreciated his adoptive father.
You know, I hated how the game tried so hard to make me like Dhurke. He comes out of nowhere, is trying so hard to be a good dad and stuff after years of non-presence for his sons... But still, I started liking the character. AND THEN THIS HAPPENED. I HATE IT. Still makes me cry today ffs
when they theorize how amara might use his spirit to escape, i thought it was tragic but i wasnt really touched by that then ema came and said he was dead before he even flew to US and i immediately teared up lol
I feel like that's on purpose. Apollo doesn't forgive him at first for dumping him in America and splitting, even if it was for his own safety. So he's noticably cold to him at first. It isn't until the case progresses that Apollo opens up to his father again.
I think Apollo’s breakdown would’ve been more sad if his scream was muffled by his face being in the desk. It would’ve shown how great his despair was by it being heard throughout the room despite it being muffled.
fyi: Apollo just got handed a photo of his dead adoptive father who he spent the most amount of time with. (his biological father died when he was just a baby) OH AND NAHYUTA LOST HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER
Years ago, my grandpa passed away just as I was going through this case. He was my dad in lack of my real one, and it's the biggest pain I had ever felt. After the funeral, I saw how this case ended and, suffice to say the emotional weight that this case has on it's own increased exponentially. Spirit of Justice is the best subtitle they could have given this game, it came right when I needed it the most.
Inga wanted a coup, Dhurke wanted a revolution. They both shared the same goal of ending Ga’ran’s reign. It is real unfortunate that Inga ends up killing Dhurke and at the same time sealing his own fate.
What sad about this scene, in the Japanese version, Dhurke shared a voice with Latios from pokemon Hero... it's like seeing Latios sacrifice again.....
My only gripe with this scene is how Phoenix is utterly baffled by the revelation. You'd think Phoenix would be like "Hm, yes" because well...he's been theough this type of incidents and in AA4 he was like this super cunning mastermind. Dude should have foreseen this!!
@@omega197 Fr. Maybe Phoenix shouldn't have been there at all? Let Apollo have his moment without devolving Phoenix's character. Idk what do you think?
@@eyebrows0408 apollo definitely handles this case well by his own even if phoenix wasnt there. I think they are trying to experiment of Phoenix being the sidekick at the court for once. Like he did it at first case of AA4, but this time, its the regular phoenix we all know since AA1.
In all fairness, in Apollo Justice, most of the events in his control were ones he'd put a lot of effort and attention into controlling and puzzling out over time, whereas the information about Dhurke's blood was found by Apollo less than a day before the trial while Phoenix was investigating elsewhere. The premise of SoJ on the developers' part was to take Phoenix out of a familiar environment where he had control so he could be blindsided again.
Most of the game doesn't have very good cases. But the last one is one of my top 3 cases in the entire series. It's a heart break after the other. This and Jo Scene.
@@queencancerous5332 Case 1 is also the best tutorial case next to AJ's. Stakes and tension never felt as high before that, even if the mystery and killer weren't as compelling.
This last case is so weird, the first part with the whole Maya kidnapping is absolute dogshit, literally copying Engarde's trial but a lot worse, literally no hype..... but then somehoww they go to Khurain and this happens.... Man this case is crazy good one, if the first part was bearable it'd be easily the best of the whole franchise.
i honastly liked the first part as it was a nice twist on engarde, becuse you dont know that maya's been kidnaped yet and so your wondering why phinex is acting like this, only for the truth to be reveald and you start to realize what pheonix has been going through. its like you were playing the engard case from edgeworth's perspective.
I don't think the first half was all that bad. Yeah, the whole thing with Maya being kidnapped again was pretty boring and just an uninteresting copy of Engarde's trial, but it's what allowed this case to have a fight against Phoenix Wright himself, which is really cool in my opinion. Coming back to Kurain Village was fun, the whole cave exploration was pretty epic, Dhurke was a great companion, Sarge is a great one-off character, and Paul Atishon is just hilarious.
Gigachad got shot 3 times in the lungs, managed to scare off his attacker and made a promise in his last few minutes, dhurke really was a chad
Cruelest plot twist in any game I've ever played
Danganronpa gets meaner at times.
Apollo’s lot in life is to suffer.
Man and I thought AA:AJ was dark but soj is a looooot crueler

I realize it's a sad plot twist, but goddamn. How fast was Inga to pull that gun that Dhurke didn't even notice it until after he was shot
It's called shock. He was in absolute disbelief until he touched it himself. It's a common thing in fiction
Games never made me cry SOOO hard. Dhurke is really the most brave father
Wait a second-
@@shitpostmania6061 Spirit channeling, nothing off
@@AlmazIngleash Ah yes thx
Apollo had 2 great fathers, and both made the ultimate sacrifice for his sake.
14:28
Dhurke: Heh. Did you really think a peashooter like that.
…could kill a dragon?!!!! 😡😡😡
But he still dies in the end.
@@febripratama7107 but it scared the shit out of Inga tho so the intimidation worked. Yes he died, but the tactic was to scare off inga
"Did you really think that killing me would be enough to make me die ?!"

-grim matchstick to cuphead (ok ik it's a terrible joke)

Apollo never catches a break
The Saddest moment in Spirit of Justice
The saddest moment in Ace Attorney. PERIOD.
@@TsukiZer0 what about inherited turnabout
@@klpliper5783 Close, but the truth about Dhurke still hits the hardest.

Gotta admire how they managed to make Dhurke such a lovable guy in only one case.
A veeeeeery long one, but still.
A dragon never yields!

9:17 this music totally destroyed me up when I already had a hard time handling with all of this. Goddamn the osts of Spirit of Justice!
6:15 When I tell you my soul shattered, I have never bit hit this hard before in a video game in my life!
I realized the truth at the mysterious bloodstain part and I was like... "Daaaaaaamn!"
I think Apollo’s breakdown would’ve been more sad if his scream was muffled by his face being in the desk. It would’ve shown how great his despair was by it being heard throughout the room despite it being muffled.
Also want the player to feel Apollo's breakdown, by suffering the fake unlimited penalty.

Dhurke...

they were annoying AF in that movie so nah
I did not know that. Fascinating little details
So latios got riddled with bullets in another life
im not one to cry at games but
this got me 😭
not inga with that goofy ahh run 😭💀💀
I love the description of the video.

Perhaps they dont want to make him too strong as functioning protagonist again.
Hobo Phoenix have that vibe he could sweep all the case 50% faster.

"No, you're already dead" but sad...
This is one of the games that will make you cry.

How is Apollo's skull intact from that?
His chords aren't the only thing made out of steel.
I've done this before and all that hurt was my nose and my head hurt a bit
don't ask why I did it lmao
apollo gave himself a haemhorrage
u love dhurke
Why yes i do
Wait is that a typo.
