me: so u see apollo's objection theme starts out with the melody following the same beat as the rhythm track in the background, unlike phoenix's objection themes, which are all very distinctively syncopated all the way through. but as apollo's theme progresses the melody gradually gets more out of sync with the background rhythm track. this shows that while phoenix's style is unconventional and "off-beat" from the start, apollo starts out trying to do his job by the book but eventually finds that the most effective way to seek justice is to be a little unconventional and not just follow the beaten track because u can't win by following the rules in a broken system. do u understand. he's finding his voice. making himself heard against the background. it's symbolism

Adjusting his binder
i can’t think about kazuma’s various themes for too long bc i’ll throw up if i do. literally listen to ‘samurai on a mission’ and ‘a prosecutor, reborn’ back to back and you’ll see what i mean.
one thing that i am genuinely insane about is how the use of traditional japanese instruments gradually decreases throughout his 4 themes, so much so that you can barely hear it in his final theme, ‘a prosecutor, reborn’. other than symbolising how he’s assimilated to british society, it also serves to show how kazuma has changed:
all the grief and anger that was left to fester, hidden underneath a veneer of determination and justness has finally bubbled to the surface. kazuma cannot hide it anymore, he doesn’t have to. ryuunosuke sees a part of kazuma he’s never seen before: a grief stricken man looking for answers, searching for the truth no matter the cost
despite these differences, the melody remains almost the same because the man standing opposite ryuunosuke is still kazuma. he may be angry, cold and distant but he is still the same person; he is still the person who believed in ryuunosuke when no one else did, he is still ryuunosuke’s partner, he is still kazuma
