I just had a pretty nice discussion on my journal about the very same topic, and man, have you hit the nail on the head. To repeat, I mean, okay, I can understand something like that happening to him, what with all the kinds of weird cases he gets, but... urgh. Why does it have to happen to him? This is the first time I'm rooting so strongly for the good guy XD
And another friend mentioned:
It makes no sense what they did to him, but that doesn't make up for just how wrong it is that none of his friends were around for him, either? If Edgeworth hopped on a private jet because Larry told him PW fell into a ravine (bless him), I think he would fight for Phoenix's place as a defense attorney or at least make it easier for him to live his life. I can't imagine Edgey just letting him go bankrupt.
Or Larry, for that matter.
So, that's precisely my point in this entire matter. How could they take away the very people who would leap at any given chance to help this guy, with how much he's done for him? It doesn't make any sense and it's the ONLY issue I have with the Odoroki arc. The characters? Apollo, Trucy, they're SO cute and wonderful. Kyouya/Klavier is a sweetheart and Kristoph, while I'm loathing on him, is also a good addition.
But I guess personally, I'll never be able to accept this entirely as Phoenix's end. Shit happens, sure. But still. Sure it's canon now, but still...
/ End ramble.
However, I wouldn't say his spirit is broken? He seems VERY strong, even then, and I love that he moves on with his life regardless. And well, he gets the cutest daughter ever, that's not really too bad :3 Long ramble about fictional character is long. :D;
