|'''[[Erasure]]'''|''"Chains Of Love"''}}
An [[Anvilicious]] version of the [[Red String of Fate]],
Often overlaps with [[Because Destiny Says So]] and [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]. If used in a villainous or negative way, this often overlaps with [[Bondage Is Bad]].
Line 14:
On the non-symbolic side is the [[Chained Heat]] plot. Often used to generate sexual tension between the chained parties that may or may not progress into [[Slap Slap Kiss]] depending on the plot. See also [[Slave Collar]].
{{examples
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* [[
** Kamui and Fuuma of ''[[X 1999]]'' are shown several times in these, tying into the "destined" aspect to their relationship and rivalry.
** Likewise the two leads of ''[[Legal Drug]]'' appear multiple times in bondage-gear, playing up the [[Ho Yay]] even further.
Line 23:
* Kaori Yuki of ''[[Angel Sanctuary]]'' also includes this in her art.
* As does Matsuri Hino of ''[[Vampire Knight]]''.
* Literal example: In ''[[
* ''[[
* Happens both literally and in the artwork of ''[[Loveless]]'', though in the literal case it's used as a spell to try and immobilize the protagonists.
* Used in the second season's [[Ending Theme]] of ''[[
* There is a Western example in the Hitchcock film ''The 39 Steps'' in which it is commented that after being handcuffed together for most of the film, it makes sense for the male and female protagonists to marry.▼

▲* Used in the second season's [[Ending Theme]] of ''[[Zero no Tsukaima (Light Novel)|Zero no Tsukaima]]'', with Louise mentioning taking Saito for a walk with the "chains of love" (or "leash of love", same thing). Given how she treats him normally, this is entirely unsurprising.
▲* [http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Code-Geass/item153096/ An image] from the ''[[Code Geass]]'' calendar delivers a double-whammy with [[Anti Hero]] Lelouch in chains and [[White Prince]] Suzaku tied up in red cloth. Unsurprisingly, the characters were designed by [[CLAMP (Creator)|CLAMP]].
** This gets taken [[Up to Eleven]] with the second season's first ending theme, which puts ''everyone'' in them (with the exception of Nunnally, who gets ribbons instead).
*** And the second one puts Lelouch and Suzaku in them again.
* ''[[Meine Liebe]] Weider'' puts Ludwig in chains in the OP. ▼
* A lot of ''[[Okane ga Nai]]'' artwork includes Ayase in chains.
*
* The back cover of one volume of the manga and at least one or two other official illustrations for ''[[Yami no Matsuei]]'' show [[Depraved Bisexual|Muraki]] and [[The Woobie|Tsuzuki]] in this pose, featuring red or black ribbons or chains. Not surprising given Muraki's tastes...
* Miku becomes chained to the shinigami Sei after a near death experience in ''[[Shinigami Lovers]]''
* [[Shounen|For a little change]]: [[Yandere|Shouko]] [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Kirishima]] of ''[[Baka to Test
* In ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' Keiichi and Belldandy are bound together due to a wish that Keiichi made. Belldandy doesn’t object to that, however. It’s her sister Skuld that does. But Urd doesn’t mind them being bound together at all.
