Miles Edgeworth also notably helps Phoenix during a trial *where he is the prosecutor.* I think it was towards the end regarding the DL-6 incident, and one of the suspects/witnesses says something that would technically help his case (or at least not directly go against it). Then all of a sudden you hear him yell "Objection!" and he starts basically doing your job for you in a brief section. He literally teams up with Phoenix because he realizes the defendant isn't guilty, and he wants the actual bad guy put away.

To be fair, in canon Corvo even spared Daud. Guess Corvo and Emily just believe greatly in forgive and forget.

[@jeremiahfitzroy9818]

Same thing with Handsome Jack. Just waaaay worse

Billie also hid that from Emily until the last mission, I think there is an option to kill her when you find out, and even the friendliest option has Emily (haven't gotten that far as Corvo) tell Billie she never wants to see her again.

"Defeat equals friendship" is one of my favorite tropes in animé and games. Is it cliché? Yes. But I love it.

[@shawnfields2369]

Same here. Especially when the supposed bad guy has a compelling backstory, or your character decides not to kill them. I love seeing bad guys become good guys. Like pretty much everyone on this list, especially Edgeworth(who is my favorite one). I love the Ace Attorney series. It's too bad we never got the sequel to Ace Attorney Investigations though...Edgeworth is like Vegeta, but calmer, and like Andy said, "dresses like a 17th century vampire". But he's got sharp and spiky hair like Vegeta's so that's something?
