Turnabout Academy

Episode 3: Turnabout Academy is the third episode of the game Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies. When a murder occurs at the Themis Legal Academy matching the one depicted in a mock trial, Juniper Woods, who set up the mock trial, finds herself as the defendant in a real trial. Woods's friend Athena Cykes takes up her case, with Justice as co-counsel, against the mysterious convict prosecutor Simon Blackquill. Additionally, Klavier Gavin returns to reprise the mock trial with Justice in order to gain more insight into the real murder. Meanwhile, Woods is rumored to be involved in a love triangle between the cool, intelligent Hugh O’Conner and the hot-blooded Robin Newman, and Cykes senses that there is something going on beneath the surface.

Trivia

 * Juniper Woods' costume design (for the festival) was meant to be like Lamiroir's outfit while she sings The Guitar's Serenade.
 * The case could be referenced from Turnabout Memories as it involves a love triangle. Also, Phoenix makes a reference to it when presenting him the newspaper. He mentioned that he was an art major but he told Cykes that he became a lawyer due to a very complicated situation.

Cultural References

 * In the English dub, upon discovering the body, Phoenix says to Athena: "Nice work, Athena. Your face only turned five shades of pale. I was expecting fifty." This is a reference to the series of novels Fifty Shades of Grey.
 * When Athena and Apollo are discussing about Myriam Scuttlebutt, Athena thought out loud "(So, this is the future cardboard box technology has afforded us, huh...)". This is a reference to the well-known cardboard box item from the video game series, Metal Gear Solid, as various types of these boxes are used by Solid Snake and other characters for their infiltration missions.
 * Athena calls the prosecutor "Birdman" in the first day of the trial. Refence to his bird, or perhaps Harvey?
 * Another reference to this is that, when Apollo notices the box, he asks for it to not have a snake under it.
 * At the beginning of the second day of trial, Athena states that the Cykes Brigade is psyched! This may be a reference to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya which Haruhi's club is named The SOS Brigade. Incidentally the English voice actress for Athena is the same for Haruhi.
 * While Athena is rebuilding a statue out of white pieces that she, Apollo and Klavier found, Apollo asks what is she doing, Athena answers "Don't stop me now. The artist inside me wants to get out and have a good time". This is a reference to a famous Queen song Don't stop me now.
