Things that just happen to Apollo Justice
- father is murdered when he’s an infant.
- raised through early childhood as a son of the leader of a group of guerrilla terrorist lawyers.
- abandoned by his guerrilla terrorist lawyer surrogate father to live in a country he’s never seen.
- makes it to adulthood and becomes a lawyer, only to be hired by a lawyer who is secretly a murderer.
- his idol Phoenix Wright manipulates and uses him as a pawn to take down his enemy (Apollo’s murder lawyer boss).
- as a result of Wright’s scheme, Apollo loses his job and can’t find one for six months, forcing him to take a job under the same man who manipulated and used him.
- accidentally defends his mother in court, who is secretly alive. She knows who he is, but he and Wright scheme not to tell either him or his sister.
- the one best friend he made after being abandoned in the US is murdered, which triggers a mental breakdown.
- six months after his mental breakdown, his surrogate father, whom he hasn’t seen since being abandoned, comes to the US to beg Apollo to defend him of a murder charge.
- Apollo agrees to defend his surrogate father from the murder charge, at the risk of his own life due to the law of the country, only to discover that his father doesn’t even need defending because he’s already dead and has been a ghost the whole time.
- Apollo has a second mental breakdown and understandably refuses to return to the US.
I mean, yes, he did ask him to look for the founder’s orb. And they went back to Kura’in because of Maya being held hostage.
But at that point he was already dead, knew he was already dead, knew he would need to be defended for murder, and was the one holding Maya ‘hostage’.
And saying that he lured Apollo back to Kura’in under false pretense to make him defend him for murder would have taken too much explanation for an ordered list.
