* EVERY SINGLE TIME [[SympatheticInspectorAntagonist Gumshoe]] and [[CosmicPlaything Maggey Byrde]] are on-screen together. The awkward "I really fancy you but I CannotSpitItOut " thing is just SO CUTE. Some highlights:

** THE ENTIRETY OF CASE 3-3. Gumshoe ends up fighting tooth-and-nail to get her aquitted, and it's the only case (aside from 1-4) where he's completely, 100% on Phoenix's side. The discussions where he actually admits that he likes her, combined with his repeated attempts to make her lunch, just cements this ship. Also, the fact that, when trying to describe her, the best thing he comes up with is "She was a good cop" is heartwarming in a FridgeBrilliance type way: Gumshoe is so dedicated to his job, calling someone a "good cop" is probably the highest compliment he can think of to give a person.

* From the manga, the end of one case where the defendant and [[spoiler:her real mother]] are reunited after Phoenix proves both of them innocent.

* From Trials and Tribulations Case 5, [[spoiler:the contents of the Kurain Master's Charm, a photograph of young Maya and Mia fixing the oft broken urn of Mystic Ami, carried by Misty Fey for 19 years.]] Also crosses over into TearJerker.
* I would like to nominate [[spoiler: Maya, Phoenix, and Pearl's big reunion at the end of 2-4. That wonderfully drawn scene of them going for a group hug is exceptionally heartwarming, considering the hell they've all been through over the last couple of days (Maya especially. [[TheWoobie DAMN.]]]]
* The end of the credits after 2-4; specifically, the fourth piece of evidence: [[spoiler: the shell card Maya found... with a picture of Phoenix drawn on it, labeled "Nick."]]
* Iris revealing the truth to Phoenix that his eight month romance with the psychotic Dahlia Hawthorne, [[spoiler: was actually with Dahlia's twin sister, '''herself'''. Iris really did fall in love with Phoenix, and would have tried to stop Dahlia if she'd known of her plans to kill him. While the game ends with a ShipTease, the fact it was Dahlia, not the kindhearted girl he dated for half a year, who tried to kill him was a heartwarming answer to a question which had tormented Wright for years.]]
* When Phoenix adopted Trucy. Phoenix admits that it was the darkest time in his life but Trucy was his light. D'awwwww.
* The end of 3-5, as in the very last scene. Larry first starts talking about how he is meant to be an artist, and we see his latest masterpiece [[spoiler: Phoenix, Edgeworth, Franziska, Gumshoe, Maya, and Pearl all together, smiling and laughing.]] And as the scene ends, we see that is the bottom page of the sketchbook, and the top is [[spoiler: Mia, Misty, and Godot, looking down on them.]]
** Slightly earlier in the sequence, Larry asks if he can join Phoenix, Maya, Edgeworth, and Franziska's ''group hug''.
* 3-5 also has two small moments where we get to see how far Phoenix and Edgeworth's friendship has progressed -- after the earthquake, Nick's visibly worried about Edgeworth (whose phobia of earthquakes was established in the first game), and when they reunite, he mentions wanting to "hug it out". And later, once everyone's back in court, Edgeworth wishes Nick good luck and calls him "partner" with a fond smile. At the end of the trial, he even manages to congratulate Nick on his win without being awkward about it!
* Is there no love for when [[spoiler: Edgeworth]] paid Maya's apparently very expensive bail because [[spoiler: it's because of her speaking out and being held in contempt of court that the trial, HIS trial, went on longer?]]

* Iris revealing the truth to Phoenix that his six month romance with the psychotic Dahlia Hawthorne, [[spoiler: was actually with Dahlia's twin sister, '''herself'''. Iris really did fall in love with Phoenix, and would have tried to stop Dahlia if she'd known of her plans to kill him.
