Battle Couple: Difference between revisions

* Some of the characters from ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'', Rudolf and Kyrie in particular. (Also Kanon/Jessica and George/Shanon could be counted in, {{spoiler|though usually just one of them is fighting and the second one just watches, at least in the episodes released so far.)}}

** After the release of ''Dawn of the golden witch'', it's pretty safe to call Battler and {{spoiler|Beatrice}} the most straightforward examples of this to show up there.

 

== Web Comics ==

* Almost all couples in ''[[Chaos Fighters]]'' are battle couples. This is even lampshaded in ''Route of Earth'' and ''Chemical Siege''.

* [[Whateley Universe]] examples: the superheroes the Mystic Six were actually three Battle Couples, until Cirque died. The other two couples are still together, although nominally retired. Then there's Pendragon and Gloriana, the leaders of the Future Superheroes of America at the school.

 

 

* In his book ''The Greatest Battle'' (on the Battle for Moscow in [[World War II]]) Andrew Nagorski interviewed two former members of an NKVD special forces unit who were ordered to go [[Undercover As Lovers]] (in the belief that a married couple would draw less attention) who, despite their initial awkwardness, ended up getting married for real.

* George VI and Queen Elizabeth in [[World War II]].

* "Molly Pitcher" who took her husband's place at a gun when he fell.

* Agustina de Aragón, "The Maid of Saragossa", a Spanish Molly Pitcher at the siege of Saragossa.

* Common enough among Scythians to the point of being a possible origin of the [[Hot Amazon|Amazons,]] the women rode, fought alongside and even [[Bifauxnen|dressed]] like their husbands and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|were buried together]] [[Together in Death|in the same graves.]]

* Subversion, or downplay depending on how you look at it. The [[SOE]] regularly recruited women for frontline duty unlike any other British service. Naturally sometimes female and male operatives would end up married to one another. However they were almost never sent on the same mission [[I Have Your Wife|for obvious reasons.]]
