** Phoenix admits that it was the darkest time in his life but Trucy was his light. D'awwwww.

* The part in ''Apollo Justice'' where [[spoiler:Mafia heir Wocky discovers that the decision of his father to go straight, a decision Wocky had loathed, was done because of his father's desire to protect him]].
** Made even more heartwarming by the fact that Wocky just can't quite accept it. He stutters, then returns to his normal "gangsta" sprite and disappears. Switches to a [=CMOF=] when his father reveals the new family enterprise to be [[spoiler:a bakery]].

* The moment at the end of the 4th case of Apollo Justice where, playing as Juror #6, you choose whether the defendant is guilty or innocent. As the juror leans over the touch screen, their face is reflected in it- Lamiroir, the amnesiac singing diva from the third case. Then, after you press the button [[spoiler:her sleeve slips back, revealing a familiar bracelet on her wrist.]] As the realization sinks in it's simply amazing- [[spoiler:her true identity, which she'd forgotten for years, is Thalassa Gramarye, the mother of both Apollo and Trucy, long believed dead.]] Then you realize [[spoiler:[[GambitRoulette Phoenix had planned this all along]]]] and you're simply lost in awe.
* During the end credis sequence of ''Apollo Justice'', there is the scene with [[spoiler:former]] [[{{Hikikomori}} shut-in]] Vera Misham.
-->'''Vera''': I've decided to keep painting. [[spoiler:Originals only]], of course. I suppose I'll have to see a bit of the world outside to find out what to paint. But, I know there are good people out there, now. I've met them.\\

** Even more heartwarming when you consider [[{{Foreshadowing}} what you learned during the investigation]]: [[spoiler:the rough sketches underneath the paintings were of Apollo's cases, and her father, who played a role in Phoenix's disbarment, admired Phoenix greatly. Despite her limited understanding of what she was asked to do and why, the Mishams were ''always'' on your side.]]
* The end credits of Apollo Justice, when you see Phoenix. Goes something like this: [[spoiler:"You know, I've been a piano player longer than I've been a lawyer now. Maybe I'll start taking lessons. Or maybe I'll take the bar exam again." The screen pans out to reveal a photograph of Phoenix floating down, with Phoenix giving the most sincere grin the player ever sees.]]
** Becomes [[HeartwarmingInHindsight even better in hindsight]] when you learn [[spoiler: that Phoenix does in fact retake the bar exam and is a lawyer again in the fifth game]].
* The Judge gets a couple of lines that seemingly indicate that [[spoiler: he himself never believed that Phoenix had been forging evidence, and that he had faith in Phoenix?]] He's the last character from whom you would expect CharacterDevelopment, but it's clear that he ''has'' developed, in a sense: he's come to hold Phoenix in high regard.

** Trucy is the only person in [[spoiler: Phoenix's flashback who doesn't display a Psyche-Lock.]] It's a small detail, but it really accentuates her innocence. Light indeed.
** And then we have a [[spoiler: freshly disbarred Phoenix and an eight-year-old Trucy in the MASON system. Phoenix is so awkward and unsure of how to be a parent, but he still comes to the firm resolution to look out for this little girl.]] One of the most notable exchanges in this scene occurs after Trucy tells Phoenix about [[spoiler: her mother's mysterious disappearance in a magic trick several years ago. Considering that her biological father also just vanished two weeks earlier...]]

* Apollo's reaction to Trucy's abduction from the courtroom, in Case 4-2. He's so happy to see her safe that he starts crying. He then angrily threatens to drag the guy responsible to court. [[spoiler:It then [[MoodWhiplash becomes much more funny]] when Trucy reveals that the guy was ''her ventriloquist dummy'', leading to Apollo threatening to drag ''her'' to court.]]
** The heartwarming doubles exponentially after TheReveal: [[spoiler: they're half-siblings, and yet Apollo showed the care and love of an older brother long before they--nor we--even learned of it.]]
* Phoenix, on Trucy and Apollo, to [[spoiler: their real mother.]]

* Klavier's response to Apollo and Trucy's victory in Case 2? [[GracefulLoser Reward them by treating them to one of his band's concerts.]] Slightly subverted by the fact that they still had to pay, albeit with a 20% price cut.

* Klavier's response to Apollo and Trucy's victory in Case 2? [[GracefulLoser Reward them by treating them to one of his band's concerts.]]

** Eight-year-old Trucy wore a pink outfit to match her dad. Present-day Trucy wears a blue outfit for the same reason.

* The end credits of Apollo Justice, when you see Phoenix. Goes something like this: [[spoiler:"You know, I've been a piano player longer than I've been a lawyer now. Maybe I'll start taking lessons. Or maybe I'll take the bar exam again." The screen pans out to reveal a photograph of Phoenix floating down, with Phoenix giving the most sincere grin the player ever sees.]] Absolutely nothing in this game made this troper cry until that moment. He's just so...''happy''.
* Am the only one who finds it touching that in ''Apollo Justice'', the Judge gets a couple of lines that seemingly indicate that [[spoiler: he himself never believed that Phoenix had been forging evidence, and that he had faith in Phoenix?]] He's the last character from whom you would expect CharacterDevelopment, but it's clear that he ''has'' developed, in a sense: he's come to hold Phoenix in high regard.

* Pretty much all Phoenix/ Trucy moments. HappilyAdopted Indeed!

--> '''Trucy''': Hey, Daddy? You won't...
--> '''Phoenix''': Don't worry. I won't vanish, I promise.

** Even more heartwarming when you consider [[Foreshadowing what you learned during the investigation]]: [[spoiler:the rough sketches underneath the paintings were of Apollo's cases, and her father, who played a role in Phoenix's disbarment, admired Phoenix greatly.

* The end credits of Apollo Justice, when you see Phoenix. Goes something like this: [[spoiler:"I never did learn to play the piano. Maybe I'll start taking lessons. Or, maybe I'll take the bar exam. Again." *the picture stills and floats down as he smiles for all he's worth*]] Absolutely nothing in this game made this troper cry until that moment. He's just so...''happy''.
