i love love love apollo falling back into this state of comfort with Datz and Dhurke in turnabout revolution where it becomes so normal for him to say stuff like "datz please stop getting caught it's hard to get you out of jail". like obviously, apollo is tired and focused on the trial, so he doesn't really compute this
but for athena i think it must be so weird to see her colleague go, within one day, from 'law nerd who is so easy to tease", to "jaded guy super comfortable rolling with some rebels / outlaws and is taking their boss on in court"
#she doesn't know that#this is the world#apollo grew up in#apollo justice#aa6#spirit of justice#i think it's like even more seamless and cool in the original version#because in english apollo only sounds polite and you cant rly hear his edges#whereas in japanese he has this boyish shounen way of speaking#(he does speak politely when he needs to of course)#and that way of speaking is consistent across 456#and it's SO delightful to kind of#recontextualize his character in a way that makes perfect sense#he's a bit of a 'youthful ore boy with a bit of rough' around the edges and hes stuck in the legal world but ooohh he's grown up with rebel#it just. it just works so beautifully together. all of it#ace attorney
