It would be interesting if at least part of Ace Attorney 7 took place in Khura’in. Apollo is investigating a case that appears small and isolated at first, but later he’ll learn it’s connected to an international incident that Athena and Phoenix are involved in as the Main Plot.

In part of his investigation, Apollo asks Nahyuta some questions, since he may have seen something important. At first their dialogue is all business, but Apollo uses this chance to catch up with his foster brother.

While they’re talking, a calmer, more upbeat version of Nahyuta’s theme plays, reflecting how much more peaceful he is on the inside. (Similar to Apollo’s conversation theme from Dual Destinies compared to his objection theme.)

Along with his many courtroom appearances, Nahyuta has been busy with his duties as Regent to Queen Rayfa. He’s taken a liking to street food (since Ema treats him sometimes when they investigate together.) He casually recommends a spicy chicken curry, before realizing he has to leave. He was supposed to meet his mother Amara and Queen Rayfa for tea, and he would hate to keep them waiting.

“You really should join us sometime. Mother’s tea is almost divine.”

Apollo admits that sounds great, but he’s used to having his tea in a more casual setting (which is really his office, mostly by himself but sometimes with a client or Datz when he drops by.)

Before he leaves, Nahyuta writes a statement about what he witnessed and Apollo adds it to his collection of evidence.

When the trial goes to court, Nahyuta steps up to the prosecution bench. It’s unusual to have a prosecutor who’s also a witness, but since the defendant is a Khura’inese diplomat (and the whole world is watching) - Nahyuta couldn’t leave this trial to anyone else.

So Attorney Apollo Justice and Prosecutor Nahyuta Sahdmadhi face off once more - with their years of experience behind them and the resolve to find the truth.

I like the fact that Apollo's circle of acquaintances is just... completely batshit. like he knows/knew and is/was on good terms with

a (presumably) very famous rockstar

gangsters

a popular foreign singer (who is also his mother)

a famous magician troupe

astronauts

multiple high-profile legal professionals

the literal public enemy number one of a small asian country

the princess of said country

It is officially Maya May! The drawn artwork of Maya from Spirit of Justice has her just going ":)" so I wanted to explore a wider range of expressions.

The grace most people give to the other 5 prosecutors always seems lost whenever Nahyuta's mentioned and I can't see why.

I can't even accept the “He's poorly written” excuse anymore when he's one of the best parts of the entire game. Nahyuta's a man who's supposed to uphold religious and moral values for a whole nation in the middle of a cruel autocracy. He's being blackmailed by the leader of this regime with the safety and honor of his family, and as a child, he was separated from a brother. Everything he knows and loves is always pending by a thread that pushed him to turn into the lapdog of an evil queen, who's inspired by any 20th-century dictator you can think of.

His background as a rebel turned sell-out, and what crimes he did or did not commit as a prosecutor dealing with a warped version of the law and justice are enough to have us discussing for days, and so do many other things. Like, the way he uses religion to condemn others while he acts terribly, how he was pushed to do evil, if he did or didn't have any other choice, or if he can atone in some way. How does Nahyuta deal with this knowledge for the rest of his days? Because he's only 25 years old and never had the semblance of a “normal” life.

Canonly, Nahyuta's a prejudiced and holier-than-thou man who gave up on the idea of freedom for his country and himself, only if that could spare his sister from the hate and shame he endured for something he did not do. His severe and harsh behavior is stated to be the way he's protecting himself and the people around him from a greater evil HE vowed to serve.

All of this is in-game. Anyone who has played SoJ has seen this. It's textual. We all agree on these complexities of his character because he's all the things previously listed, but is also said by Apollo that Nahyuta had a gentle smile and was of a shy nature. We do know he's honestly devout and a man curious about the things the world beyond the Khura'in borders has to offer. The way all of this is presented may be flawed, but that is not how you make an excuse for a character being poorly written. All he did, his flaws, and the things we consider reprehensible, make sense for him as a character.

Yet some people think that Nahyuta having the word “putrid” in his vocabulary is a little too much to even sit down and understand him.

So yeah, I believe Nahyuta Sahdmadhi as a character deserves more thoughtful discernment.
