E2-5 gets a wide range of scores. Some really liked the mastermind, some didn't, and some did but also felt the plan didn't really make that much sense. Mostly everyone agreed that the case has a lot of bloat. Interestingly, because of just how much it does, a few felt that it really lacked identity and was hard to remember anything about it.

Summary:

When a bomb goes off in the courthouse, Apollo is injured and it's up to the firm's newest lawyer, Athena Cykes, to step up and handle the case.

Main Characters: Athena Cykes, Apollo Justice, Phoenix Wright, Gaspen Payne, The Judge
Other Characters: Juniper Woods, Candice Arme, Ted Tonate

My rating: 2/10. I feel this case takes all the wrong lessons from starting in media res. When you have the full context of this case, this case seems really...strange. Why is Athena freaking out against Gaspen Payne of all people after doing a much more anxious case? Why is Juniper nothing like her 5-3 appearance? Is Apollo that much of a factor? And it's just kind of weird this all happens in the middle of 5-4 and 5-5. Outside of that, it's...a tutorial case. I would have liked for Athena to take this on, but I get why they brought Phoenix for it. Payne is fine, Tonate is fine, everything is just fine. The bluff at the end is nice, but...honestly, I never really "got" this case, like the logic behind figuring out it was a fake bomb.
