Line 66:
* Shinji and Asuka from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' at their best.
** It is reinforced in [[Super Robot Wars]], where they are given combination attacks when they show up: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ih7y57v58yA as seen] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLKzzUjPOYw right here]
* ''[[Baccano!]]'' has [[Pyromaniac|Nice]] and [[Cowardly Lion|Jacuzzi]] and, eventually, {{spoiler|[[Psycho for Hire|Claire]] and [[Knife Nut|Chane]]}}.
* Villainous (or at least antagonistic) example: Renda de Baroma and Duker Iku from ''[[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam|Victory Gundam]]''.
* Yuki and Yuno from ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'' qualify as this after they finish with the 7th.
Line 298:
*** Apparently so common that Dr. Bashir has just stopped asking how people were wounded because [[Destructo-Nookie|it usually turns out to be fight-sex]].
* [[Legend of the Seeker|Richard and Kahlan]]. This is a change from the [[Sword of Truth|source material]], where Kahlan's skill in battle depended on the plot.
* [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]] and Angel, with their lots of time spent fighting evil together, would probably qualify, but Buffy and Riley would definitely qualify -- unfortunately this is one of the factors leading to their break-up, as Riley's lack of superpowers meant he can't keep up with Buffy in a fight. But Riley returns for "[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Recap/S6
* On the ''[[Angel]]'' end, Fred and Wes and Fred and Gunn both count. Fred and Wes have a definite battle couple scene in the beginning of "A Hole In The World".
* Michael and Fiona of ''[[Burn Notice]]''.
Line 357:
* Popo and Nana (Ice Climbers) from [[Super Smash Bros.]]. Though not much is known about them, their friendship towards each other is obvious. Though they might not classify as a couple because they are still just young kids.
* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'' {{spoiler|Johnny}} eventually manages to win {{spoiler|Meryl's}} heart, by saving {{spoiler|her}} life on not one but three occasions. In a scene that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QofhJhJGBjw has to be seen to be believed], they hold a door against seeming endless waves of attackers while slipping new magazines into each others guns, and proposing each other for marriage.
** Of course, in the third game ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|Snake Eater]]'', {{spoiler|The Boss and The Sorrow had such a relationship before suffering a fate much worse than [[Star-Crossed Lovers]], namely being forced to fight each other in order to uphold loyalty to their respective nations, namely the US and the USSR. Said fight ended in The Sorrow's death. However, before being forced to split, The Boss gave birth to The Sorrow's son while participating in the D-Day invasion.}}
*** {{spoiler|In what may be considered either the most [[Tear Jerker|heartbreaking]] or [[Metal Gear Solid/Heartwarming|heartwarming]] conclusion to that relationship, the Sorrow actually ''encouraged'' the Boss to kill him to complete her mission. This strongly implies that the Sorrow wasn't even willing to fight to defend himself against her, showing that his loyalty was first and foremost to her.}}
* Max Payne and Mona Sax turn into one of these during the course of ''[[Max Payne 2]]''.
