** The sequel has an even stronger version, where Subject Delta picks up an audio-log from Stanley Poole, in which Stan describes how he needs to be "more like Johnny Topside" (Delta pre-Daddy suit).

* Taokaka from ''[[Blaz Blue]]'' is obsessed with breasts, particularly Litchi's -- or, as she calls her, "Boobie Lady." Litchi, for her part, seems completely oblivious to the possibility that this interest might be anything but completely innocent, even when Taokaka does things like try to "eat" them or makes comments like "You always have nice, comfy airbags."

** She's not limited to groping Litchi's breasts, either. In ''Continuum Shift'' Tsubaki becomes a victim of Tao's ravenous lust for boobies. Noel would be as well, if she weren't [[Pettanko|flat-chested]], something Taokaka has to make a point of mentioning every time she sees her.

** Speaking of Noel, she's become quite a case of [[Even the Girls Want Her]], as Litchi has a fetish for dressing Noel up in cute outfits, and Makoto is extremely protective of her. There's also a ''lot'' of Noel X Rachel art, and much of it is ''official''!

** Also, it's hard ''not'' to envision Litchi Faye Ling as an [[Ambiguously Gay|ambiguous]] [[Bi the Way|bisexual]] given her propensity to dress other girls up in cute outfits and dote over them (Noel in ''Calamity Trigger'', Tsubaki in ''Continuum Shift''), and in a non-canonical Teach Me, Ms. Litchi: Reloaded segment, Litchi was apparently very... "thorough" when examining Noel's "beautiful, lithe, etc." body...and doesn't realize she was being so "thorough" because it was like "a dream come true". The fact that she is the most common target of Taokaka's breast groping, and seems almost tolerant (albeit embarassed) of it on a few occasions only adds to the speculation.

*** Jin's obsession is played with ''a lot'' in the various gag reel endings in the story modes - even in those for mostly unrelated characters. From Relius Clover's BBCS Extend gag reel, where he mind-swaps several of the other characters, in particular Ragna and Jin:

** Dietrich really respects Yuri and seems happy whenever he is assigned under Yuri's command, even going so far pleading him to accept the proposal to lead the battle in Adis, just so he can fight alongside his fleet. {{spoiler|Right before his death, he apologizes to Yuri for unable to keep his words to stay alive, and Yuri seems to be shocked upon hearing his death.}}

* Official artwork for ''[[Izuna Legend of the Unemployed Ninja]]'' shows the eponymous ninja and her traveling companion Shino in very ''close'' proximity of each other. [[Bait and Switch Lesbians|In-game, however]], Izuna merely thinks of Shino as a [[Onee-Sama|sisterly figure]].

** The sequel first introduces Shino's younger sister Shizune, who instantly takes a strong liking to Izuna - when they meet, she gives her a no-holds-barred glomp, complete with boob-squishing. If the two are in a dungeon together and you initiate a [[Combination Attack|Tag Attack]] with Izuna in the lead, Shizune will float up to her and kiss her face (the screen sillhouettes, so you can't exactly tell where), with hearts floating up the whole time. This [[Intimate Healing|fully recovers both girls' HP.]] Then there are the times when Shino ends up [[Brainwashed and Crazy]], and it's implied that Izuna [[Always Save the Girl|would go after her before anything else, even if Shino wasn't conveniently waiting at the source of the problem.]] Shino herself has a line about how she'd never choose between Izuna and Shizune if anything happened. ([[OT 3]], anyone?) This isn't even mentioning things like the [[Furo Scene]], where [[Pettanko|Suiren]] rests her head on [[Gag Boobs|Fuuka's breasts]] as if it's no big deal... These games' stories are big on girl power, but ''damn.''

* ''[[Jak and Daxter]]'' have this at times. One notable scene is when an incredibly inebriated Daxter hugs Jak while slurring "I love you, man!" (Which earns a disturbed look from Jak.)

** In a similar [[Incredibly Lame Pun|vein]], Raphael's decidedly vampiric qualities give him an appropriately vampiric finisher that involves [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|forcing his opponent to their knees and draining them from the neck while they futilely struggle beneath him]]. Like all Critical Finishes, it can be used against [[Ho Yay|male characters]] as well.

*** Soul Calibur V has a smattering of [[Les Yay]] here and there; one of the most obvious is the [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]] between Xianghua's daughter Lexia and Taki's student Natsu, but the one most plot critical is Pyrrha's status as a [[Replacement Goldfish]] for Tira. Not only does the girl inherit the extremely abusive [[Foe Yay]] between Tira and Sophitia, but gets to grow up isolated and paranoid because of Tira's [[Yandere]] tendency to kill anyone that makes her happy so that Pyrrha will never trust anyone but Tira and become a new host for Soul Edge. Since Tira has been working this plan since Pyrrha was about three, she not only manipulated {{spoiler|and is heavily implied to have eventually killed}} Sophitia for Soul Edge's purposes, she went on to perform [[Wife Husbandry]] on her daughter

** Given that ZEX's attraction is a bit... [[Interspecies Romance|different]] from most examples on this page, you could also call this a case of [[Mars Needs Women|Mars Needs Men]].

** This is somewhat parodied in ''[[Super Smash Bros|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in a communication link with Wolf. Leon gushes in orgasmic jealousy about how vicious and efficient Wolf tears into his enemies, and Panther, in a fit of confused disgust, has to ask him who he's in fact jealous of: Wolf, or his victims.
