%%** Nahyuta Sahdmadi is probably the most divisive prosecutorial rival since Franziska von Karma. The divide largely boils down to whether the reveal that his {{jerkass}} and PersecutingProsecutor behavior was due to [[spoiler:Ga'ran holding his sister hostage]] is an [[BigBrotherInstinct interesting motivation]] that makes his behavior more understandable and sympathetic in retrospect or if it is a weak excuse that only makes him UnintentionallyUnsympathetic (see below). There is also the question of whether he is a weak retread of Miles Edgeworth who lacks his best qualities or if he has enough distinct aspects to stand on his own.
%%Do not add any unapproved Complete Monster entries without first coming to the cleanup thread.

** Nahyuta Sahdmadhi became this for two key reasons after the reveal that [[spoiler:he was forced to align with the Ga'ran regime because if he hadn't, Ga'ran would have revealed that Rayfa is Dhurke's daughter, causing Rayfa to be stripped of her royal title and become an outcast as the child of a criminal]]. While this was meant to justify his abrasive behavior before the reveal, it also implies that [[spoiler:Nahyuta chose to be complicit in the murder-by-court of dozens if not hundreds of innocent people he knew to be innocent, both at home and abroad, for no other reason than to protect his sister from a fate that both he and his father showed themselves to be perfectly capable of surviving in the name of doing what's right]]. As far as we can see, he makes no attempt whatsoever to escape his predicament, despite [[spoiler:having a father who would have be both willing and capable of helping him if he knew what was going on, and supposedly being raised as a {{Determinator}} by said father. As a result, he comes across more as an idiot and an ExtremeDoormat rather than a blackmail victim, something that comes off as an even worse betrayal of his father and his ideals]].

* HePannedItNowHeSucks: Exandshadow's review on WebVideo/GameXplain got flack as many felt he didn't give the game a fair chance having stated in the past ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'' is his most hated video game and disliking Apollo and Trucy both who receive large amounts of focus in this game. The fact he decried the game for not capturing the "Charm" of the Original Trilogy didn't do him any favors with the review sitting as one of [=GameXplain's=] most disliked videos.

* DisappointingLastLevel: The revisualization segment of "Turnabout Time Traveler" is widely considered the most underwhelming to date, and to many players feels more like it's only there out of obligation, having only three questions with the first two being painfully obvious. The first question effectively amounts to [[CaptainObvious "the murderer used the murder weapon"]], a fact people have mercilessly mocked this revisualization for ever since. Part of the problem is the revisualization's placement in the narrative, as instead of taking place when the defense is in a dire spot and the culprit is about to get away with everything, it happens when the culprit is already pretty much cornered and the defense is simply readying to deliver the final blow, so the whole thing can also come across as an AntiClimax.
