Think about it, DD and SOJ are games that not only play with our rational thinking but also how we perceive these characters in the situations that they've gotten themselves into. In my opinion, the most touching character of all time is Apollo Justice. Why? Because he is basically everything you want for a traditional hero. He has kind parents, a sweet sister, a good best friend that wanted to achieve his dream, a strong-willed adoptive father, and last but not least... Almost all of his blood family has been murdered, spiking his emotional core even more.
There are some candidates such as Athena and Ema, but Apollo goes all the way. There's no argument here.
What does anyone else think?
