1"The First Turnabout"
"Hajimete no Gyakuten" (はじめての逆転)		April 2, 2016[10]
Rookie defense attorney Phoenix Wright faces his first trial in which he must defend his childhood friend Larry Butz, who has been accused of the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Cindy Stone. Prosecutor Winston Payne brings out the key witness, Frank Sahwit, who claims to have seen Larry leave Cindy's apartment after the murder. With help from his mentor Mia Fey, Phoenix spots a contradiction between Sahwit's testimony and the time of Cindy's death, to which Sahwit responds that the time he heard came from the murder weapon: a handmade alarm clock modeled after The Thinker. This leads Phoenix to deduce that the only way Sahwit could have known The Thinker was a clock was to use it himself to kill Cindy. Receiving advice from Mia, Phoenix finds that the discrepancy between the time of death and the clock's time is due to Cindy having come home from an overseas trip in another time zone. Larry is acquitted and gives Mia another Thinker clock as thanks. Some time later, the clock becomes the center of another incident.
2"Turnabout Sisters – 1st Trial"
"Gyakuten Shimai: 1st Trial" (逆転姉妹 1st Trial)		April 9, 2016[11]
Mia calls her younger sister, Maya, inviting her to hold onto some evidence she has hidden inside the Thinker clock. That night, Phoenix arrives at the office to discover Mia has been killed, with Maya nearby. Discovering a receipt inscribed with Maya's name in blood, police detective Dick Gumshoe arrests Maya under suspicion of murder. Phoenix speaks with Maya, who reveals herself to be a spirit medium in training. Doubtful of Phoenix, Maya declines his offer to defend her in court and instead requests the service of Mia's mentor, Marvin Grossberg. The next day, after finding Maya's phone containing a recording of her conversation with Mia, Phoenix learns from Gumshoe that Maya's prosecution is being handled by Miles Edgeworth, an alleged genius who has never lost a case. While investigating the key witness, April May, Phoenix discovers a screwdriver, cuff link, and wiretap in her hotel room. Grossberg then suddenly informs Phoenix that he can no longer take Maya's case. Phoenix refuses to give up on Maya, who is moved by his dedication and agrees to let him defend her.
3"Turnabout Sisters – 2nd Trial"
"Gyakuten Shimai: 2nd Trial" (逆転姉妹 2nd Trial)		April 16, 2016[12]
During the trial, Phoenix points out that Mia could not have written the bloody message as she died instantly, but Edgeworth presents an updated autopsy report that negates his theory. April is called to the stand, claiming to have seen the murder from her hotel room. Phoenix counters that she could not have heard the time from the clock as its clockwork had already been removed, proving its time of removal through Maya's phone recording. Phoenix then presents the wiretap found in April's hotel room, to which April reveals she was ordered to place the wiretap in Mia's office. After the trial is extended due to the new facts presented, Grossberg explains his declination of the case to Phoenix, revealing that he is being blackmailed by company president Redd White, whom Mia had been investigating for corporate crime before her death. Matching White's cuff link with the one found with the wiretap, Phoenix accuses White of murdering Mia. In response, White implicates Phoenix for the crime and has him arrested instead.
4"Turnabout Sisters – Last Trial"
"Gyakuten Shimai: Last Trial" (逆転姉妹 Last Trial)		April 23, 2016[13]
Phoenix stands to defend himself in court, with Maya acting as his assistant. Taking the witness stand, White claims to have heard a glass light stand shattering from his hotel room as the murder occurred, but Phoenix and Maya deduce that the only way White could have known about the stand was if he was in the office. Edgeworth posits that White saw the light stand while planting the wiretap months before the murder, which Phoenix cannot refute. Desperate, Maya awakens her power as a spirit medium, allowing her to channel Mia's spirit. Under Mia's guidance, Phoenix finds that the receipt with the bloody message dates the light stand's purchase as the day before the murder. Edgeworth attempts to extend the trial further, but Mia forces White to confess his guilt by threatening him with a list of White's blackmail victims. Following Phoenix and Maya's acquittal, Mia arranges for Maya to stay with Phoenix at the newly renamed Wright & Co. Law Offices.
5"Turnabout Samurai – 1st Trial"

Will Powers, the star of the television drama Steel Samurai, is arrested for the murder of his co-star Jack Hammer, who portrayed the show's villain. Deciding to defend Powers, Phoenix and Maya visit the show's studio to interview witnesses and search for evidence. During the trial the next day, the studio's overly talkative security guard, Wendy Oldbag, presents a photo that allegedly shows a fully costumed Powers en route to the crime scene, identifying him via a sprained ankle he sustained during rehearsal. However, Phoenix points out that because the photo subject's identity is concealed, someone else could have worn the costume and imitated Powers' injury to frame him, implicating Oldbag as a suspect. Outraged by the accusation, Oldbag confirms that others were present at the studio during the crime.
6"Turnabout Samurai – 2nd Trial"
"Gyakuten no Tonosaman: 2nd Trial" (逆転のトノサマン 2nd Trial)		May 7, 2016[15]
Court is adjourned after Oldbag names studio director Sal Manella and producer Dee Vasquez as potential witnesses to the murder. Resuming their investigation, Phoenix and Maya go to Studio 2 to meet with Manella and Vasquez, who claim they could not have gone to Studio 1 where the body was found because the path was blocked by a broken mascot head. Later, after hearing Oldbag mention an accident that took place five years ago, Phoenix and Maya come across Cody Hackins, a boy who claims to have witnessed the incident. The next day, after Phoenix spends the entire night watching Steel Samurai DVDs for clues, he deduces from Cody's recollection of the day that the costumed figure is actually Jack Hammer. Cody then explains what he saw and shows Phoenix a photo of the incident, showing that Hammer had gone to Studio 2, leading Phoenix to suspect Vasquez as the murderer. Vasquez summons a group of mobsters to silence Phoenix and Maya, but when Gumshoe comes to their rescue, she agrees to testify in court.
7"Turnabout Samurai – Last Trial"
"Gyakuten no Tonosaman: Last Trial" (逆転のトノサマン Last Trial)		May 14, 2016[16]
The trial resumes with Vasquez taking the witness stand and Phoenix presenting the information he received from Cody. Vasquez claims that she could not have used the alleged murder weapon, the Samurai Spear, as it is too heavy. Phoenix deduces that the spear is not the murder weapon, but lacks the evidence to prove it. Upset by the proceeding, Cody stands up for his sense of justice, which inspires Oldbag to give Phoenix a photo of the earlier studio accident used by Vasquez to blackmail Hammer, revealing the actual weapon to be the spiked fence outside Studio 2's trailer. When challenged with finding Vasquez's motive, Phoenix posits that Hammer had attempted to murder Vasquez and was killed in self-defense, but is again without proof. Realizing Vasquez's guilt, Edgeworth forces her to testify about what happened after the body was found, providing Phoenix with the opening needed to expose her as the true culprit.
8"Turnabout Goodbyes – 1st Trial"
"Gyakuten, Soshite Sayonara: 1st Trial" (逆転、そしてサヨナラ 1st Trial)		May 21, 2016[17]
On Christmas Day, Edgeworth is arrested under suspicion of shooting a man on Gourd Lake. Despite being warned by Edgeworth to stay away from the case, Phoenix and Maya investigate Gourd Lake, where Gumshoe begs Phoenix to defend Edgeworth; they also encounter Larry, now a vendor at the lake, who reveals Edgeworth to be his and Phoenix's childhood friend. They then meet photographer Lotta Hart, who has been taking pictures of the lake using a sound-activated camera in the hopes of finding the fabled monster Gourdy. Lotta discovers she has photos taken during the murder, and decides to bring them to the police. Grossberg identifies the victim as Robert Hammond, a former lawyer in his firm who served as defense attorney for the DL-6 Incident, a 15-year old case surrounding the death of Edgeworth's father, Gregory, that led to the disappearance of Maya's mother, Misty. Phoenix once again approaches Edgeworth, deciding to take his defense in order to both prove his innocence and solve the mystery surrounding the DL-6 Incident. Edgeworth accepts Phoenix's offer, revealing that the prosecutor will be his undefeated mentor, Manfred von Karma.
9"Turnabout Goodbyes – 2nd Trial"
"Gyakuten, Soshite Sayonara: 2nd Trial" (逆転、そしてサヨナラ 2nd Trial)		May 28, 2016[18]
The trial opens with Gumshoe presenting the murder weapon: a pistol with fingerprints from Edgeworth's right hand. Lotta's testimony further implicates Edgeworth when she claims to have seen him and Hammond amidst two loud bangs after midnight, submitting a photo as evidence. Under threat of being held in contempt of court, Phoenix is unable to find any beneficial information in Lotta's testimony until Maya challenges its validity and is ejected in Phoenix's place. This allows Phoenix to determine that Lotta was too focused on finding Gourdy to pay any attention to the murder. Lotta then presents an enlarged version of the photo to show the pistol being fired from the attacker's left hand, contradicting Gumshoe's statement. After court adjourns for further investigation, Phoenix discovers "Gourdy" to be Larry's promotional Steel Samurai balloon that flew into the lake in an air tank accident. Grateful for learning the truth from Phoenix, Lotta gives him a second photo of the incident and directs him to another witness: the elderly caretaker of a boat rental shop.
10"Turnabout Goodbyes – 3rd Trial"
"Gyakuten, Soshite Sayonara: 3rd Trial" (逆転、そしてサヨナラ 3rd Trial)		June 4, 2016[19]
As Phoenix and Maya try to interview the caretaker about the incident, they are surprised when his parrot, Polly, mentions the DL-6 Incident. Phoenix goes to the police station to research the case, only to discover that von Karma has taken all the files relating to it. On the second day of the trial, the caretaker implicates Edgeworth as the murderer he saw, and Edgeworth is declared guilty. However, Larry suddenly bursts onto the scene to give his own testimony, convincing the judge to overturn his decision. Larry states that he was out on a boat searching for his balloon, claiming he only heard one bang that night while listening to the radio. Using Larry's recollection of the radio show he heard, Phoenix realizes that the bang Larry heard actually took place before midnight, the same time Lotta's other photo was taken. From this, he deduces that the murderer killed Hammond elsewhere before pretending to be the victim to frame Edgeworth. Just as Phoenix suspects the true murderer to be the unnamed caretaker, the court discovers that he has fled the scene.
11"Turnabout Goodbyes – 4th Trial"
"Gyakuten, Soshite Sayonara: 4th Trial" (逆転、そしてサヨナラ 4th Trial)		June 11, 2016[20]

Court resumes, with Phoenix having Grossberg testify about the DL-6 Incident. Grossberg reveals that Yanni Yogi, the bailiff originally accused of Gregory's murder, had his life ruined by Hammond's defense, leading to his fiancée's suicide a year later. Tasked with proving the caretaker is Yogi himself, Phoenix brings in Polly as a witness. Despite discovering Polly has been retrained to stay quiet about the DL-6 Incident, Phoenix manages to deduce that Polly is named after Yogi's late fiancée, and that the safe combination code is the date the DL-6 Incident took place. Feeling his duty has been fulfilled, the caretaker confirms himself to be Yogi and confesses his crime. Just as Edgeworth is declared innocent of Hammond's murder, Edgeworth himself confesses that he is the true culprit of the DL-6 Incident.
12"Turnabout Goodbyes – Last Trial"
"Gyakuten, Soshite Sayonara: Last Trial" (逆転、そしてサヨナラ Last Trial)		June 18, 2016[21]
Despite Edgeworth's confession of guilt, Phoenix continues to believe in his innocence. Edgeworth recalls that he threw a pistol to try and stop Yogi and Gregory from fighting in an elevator, hearing a gunshot and a loud scream before passing out. Examining photographic evidence, Phoenix notices a bullet hole in the elevator door, suggesting another bullet was fired, though von Karma points out that only one bullet was found at the crime scene. Phoenix theorizes that the second bullet hit the actual murderer, whom he suspects to be von Karma. Using a metal detector Maya brought with her, Phoenix detects that the bullet is still inside von Karma's shoulder, but is unable to compare the ballistics as the bullet from Yogi's case is missing. Faking an illness to buy some time, Edgeworth helps Maya sneak into von Karma's office and retrieve the bullet that killed Gregory which, along with von Karma's screams, proves his guilt. After the trial, Edgeworth gives his thanks to Phoenix while Maya decides to return to her home town to complete her spirit medium training.

Later that day, Edgeworth helps Phoenix and Larry find the owner of an abandoned dog that Larry had come across. After the owner rejects the dog, Edgeworth decides to take it home with him; he also takes an interest in Phoenix and Larry's favorite television show, becoming friends with them. However, following the death of his father, Edgeworth is taken in by von Karma, leaving his new friends behind.

Gumshoe gives his testimony, explaining that Grey was first stabbed before being shot by his own pistol. He presents Maya's ceremonial robes, which are covered in blood and have a hole in the sleeve. While Franziska claims that bullet hole is irrelevant, Phoenix notices the hole is missing a gunpowder burn that would appear if it was shot at close range. Lotta is then brought to the stand, presenting the photo she had taken of "Maya" when entering the crime scene. Phoenix notices that the person in the photo is missing the head ornament Maya was wearing, believing that another person was impersonating Maya. As Phoenix struggles to prove how this additional person entered the locked room, Pearl manages to channel Mia, who reminds Phoenix of the room key Pearl gave him, which proves the possibility of another person.

Coming across Lotta again, Phoenix finds a clothes basket with a hole in it, while Lotta gives him information on Ini, revealing she was in the same car accident as Mimi and had to undergo reconstruction surgery. As Phoenix questions Ini about the incident, Morgan goes with the police to join the investigation. On the second day of the trial, Phoenix asks Pearl to channel Mia again so that she doesn't hear what happens during the trial. The trial begins with Morgan testifying against Maya, claiming she fled from the channeling room after committing the murder, before Ini is brought to the stand.

Ini claims that Maya, possessed by Mimi, came to see her in the side room following the murder. However, Phoenix finds this claim to be false, as she would have encountered Pearl trying to fix the urn in the walkway. Putting together the evidence, Phoenix deduces that Ini was hiding in the clothes basket in the channeling chamber, where she knocked out Maya and stabbed Grey, who used the last of his strength to try and shoot her. He further deduces that Morgan was her accomplice, helping her to frame Maya and dispose of evidence. Tasked with finding a motive for committing such a complicated murder, Phoenix questions Ini about the car accident, deducing from her statement that she is actually Mimi, who had been reconstructed with Ini's face following the accident that took the real Ini's life. Mimi reveals that she had hoped to escape her history of medical negligence following the accident, but when Grey's decision to hold a channeling ritual threatened to expose her, Morgan came up with the murder plan in order to frame Maya and have Pearl become the head of the Kurain school. Following the trial, as Morgan is arrested and the channeling school is temporarily closed, Pearl encourages Maya to return to Phoenix's side.

After meeting Berry's daughter, Regina, Phoenix and Maya hear about the crime from Gumshoe, who claims that Max's ability to fly places him as the prime suspect as only the victim's footprints were found. Finding that most of the staff seem to also suspect Max because of his cocky attitude, they hear from Moe the Clown that Max allegedly hit Ben the ventriloquist with a bottle the other day. While looking through Berry's office, they find the contract that Max had mentioned to be dated a week prior to the meeting. Phoenix threatens to drop Max's defense, prompting Max to confess his strained relationship with the other performers, convincing Phoenix to change his mind. Phoenix ends up chasing a monkey to one of the performer's rooms, where they find a bust of Max and a diamond ring, which allegedly belongs to Ben's puppet, Trilo. Speaking through Trilo, Ben claims that he saw Max heading to the crime scene on the night of the murder, but Phoenix points out that he would've had to see the ringmaster too.

As the trial begins, Gumshoe explains the strange circumstances of the case before Moe is brought to the stand as a witness, claiming that he saw Max flying off outside his window moments after Berry's murder. After the trial is postponed so that the prosecution can investigate how the murder occurred, Max reveals that he lent Berry his costume on the night of the murder. Revisiting the room they came across the previous day, Phoenix and Maya meet Ken "Acro" Dingling, an acrobat who lost the use of his legs six months ago, but he is dragged away by Franziska, who reveals she wants revenge against Phoenix for defeating Edgeworth. After hearing from Moe that Berry was angry about something on the morning of the murder, Phoenix checks his office and finds a threatening letter pertaining to an incident six months ago, calling Berry to the place where he was murdered. Asked about the incident, Moe explains how Acro's brother, Bat, was put into a coma by Regina's pet lion, Leon, who was then shot by Berry. Regina then reveals that she found the note while returning from Acro's room, leading Phoenix to suspect the note may be from Acro. As the trial resumes, Phoenix accuses Acro of being the one who plotted Berry's murder.
20"Turnabout Big Top – Last Trial"
"Gyakuten Sākasu: Last Trial" (逆転サーカス Last Trial)		August 20, 2016[29]
Phoenix deduces the mystery behind the crime scene, explaining that a bust of Max was dropped on Berry's head when he attempted to open a heavy box. When the bust was pulled back up, it latched onto Max's costume, leading Moe to mistake it for Max himself. Believing Acro, who lives directly above the scene, is the only one who could have committed the crime, Phoenix brings out the threatening note, explaining how it relates to the incident six months ago. He reveals that the reason Bat was attacked was because the scarf Regina gave him was covered in pepper, which caused Leon to sneeze and bite down on him, meaning that Acro's intended target was Regina. As the decisive evidence, the bust, appears to be nowhere to be found, Phoenix deduces that Acro has been hiding it inside his wheelchair, leading Acro to admit his guilt. Afterwards, as Moe takes over as the Big Berry Circus' ringmaster, Gumshoe gets in contact with Edgeworth.

At the start of the trial, Gumshoe explains that, despite the obvious knife wound on the body, Corrida was actually killed by strangulation. Oldbag, who had been working security at the hotel, then testifies that she saw Engarde leave Corrida's room, presenting a photo of the Nickel Samurai costume. Noticing that the person in the costume is shorter than Engarde, Phoenix accuses Adrian and calls her to the stand. She reveals that she had planned to hold a conference with Corrida in the Nickel Samurai costume, as he knew a secret about Engarde's career. With Adrian refusing to testify and a lack of evidence to convict her, Phoenix is unable to stop the trial from becoming extended. After Phoenix manages to convince de Killer to give him more time, Edgeworth, learning about Maya's kidnapping from Phoenix, deduces from a calling card Adrian had picked up from the scene that Corrida was killed by de Killer, suspecting Engarde was the one who contracted him. Meanwhile, Maya manages to briefly break out of the basement and find a framed photo of someone before de Killer catches her again. Inspecting the crime scene again, Phoenix and Edgeworth discover a hidden camera hidden in one of the teddy bears, discovering Engarde was the one sent it.

Although Maya is nowhere to be found by the time they get there, they discover a photo of Adrian's sister, Celeste, and a message from Maya telling Phoenix to find Engarde guilty no matter the cost. The next day, as Edgeworth brings in Adrian to testify about a teddy bear that was removed from the crime scene, Pearl manages to use Mia to inform Gumshoe about Maya's current whereabouts. Adrian explains that the bear was a gift to Corrida from Celeste, who hung herself after being dumped by Corrida after he learned about her relationship with Engarde. She further reveals that Corrida was planning to reveal Celeste's suicide note to the public during the conference, leading Adrian to tamper with the crime scene in order to implicate Engarde. As the note is revealed to be inside the bear that was taken from the scene, Phoenix calls for the note to be analyzed to buy some time.
