Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Spirit of Justice/Episode 2: The Magical Turnabout/Trial, Day 1

Courtroom Lobby
Apollo is evidently worried about the trial, telling himself that he is "fine". Athena speculates that the pressure of the trial is getting to him, and demands Apollo to "get it together". She tells him that she has researched Prosecutor Nahyuta Sahdmadhi, saying that he apparently can "accurately read a trial's karma and ultimate fate". In other words, he can foresee how the arguments will go, and can thus lead the opposition. She also hopes that Ema's talk with him regarding Trucy went well. Apollo reminds himself that the fate of both Trucy and the Wright Anything Agency rest on this trial, thinking that if there was ever a time to shine, it's now.

Trial begins
Prosecutor Sahdmadhi is delayed in affirming his preparation for the trial, as he was praying for the victim. He confirms that he is a monk from Khura'in (after being asked by the Judge), and requests in advance for the patience and forgiveness of the court, as he is unfamiliar with American court proceedings. He then gives the opening statement. He says that the incident took place during a magic show, and that the defendant (Trucy) performed a magic trick in which she thrust a sword into a coffin; the very coffin the victim's body fell out of, killed by a stab wound. He reveals that the victim's real name was Manov Mistree, and that blood was found on a sword used during the magic trick. The Autopsy Report is added into the Court Record. Prosecutor Sahdmadhi presents his argument that the incident was a murder made to look like an accident, perpetrated by Trucy. Apollo maintains that Trucy is innocent, reasoning this because he believes in her. Sahdmadhi does not think highly of this reasoning however, saying that it is a clear demonstration of Apollo being a lawyer "of putrid mind". He exclaims "Satorha!" and recites a chant, attempting to awaken Apollo from his "fruitless slumber". He then says that Apollo will not be punished in the Twilight Realm if he admits Trucy's guilt now, otherwise, both will be cast into the "pit of hell". The first witness is brought in; it's Detective Skye, who's obviously reluctant to testify against Trucy, and is eating Snackoos. Sahdmadhi claims that Trucy had a motive to kill the victim. Ema explains that Mr. Reus was kicked out of Troupe Gramarye 13 years ago after he was deemed unskilled. Sahdmadhi then explains that Mr. Reus vowed to get revenge on the troupe someday.
