Die for Our Ship/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* [[Die for Our Ship/Pokémon|Pokémon]]

* [[Die for Our Ship/The Prince of Tennis|The Prince of Tennis]]

* [[Die for Our Ship/Sailor Moon|Sailor Moon]]

 

** And all of this is incredibly ironic since the [[Word of God]] has stated that {{spoiler|Tenchi eventually just [[Tenchi Solution|marries them all]].}} Of course, some people just ignore ''that'' as well.

*** Considering that the supplemental material, at least for North America (not to mention elsewhere), is not available, that is somewhat understandable. What makes things even funnier about Noike, is that she is both a {{spoiler|false suitor}}, and later on {{spoiler|the only one of Tenchi's suitors who has a legitimate claim}}.

* [[Expanded Universe]] example: Mana Kirishima, of the ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' game ''Girlfriend of Steel 1''. "[[Role Called|Girlfriend]]" as in "[[Neon Genesis Evangelion/Characters|Shinji]]'s girlfriend", which pisses off those who ship him with Asuka, Rei, Misato, or Kaworu and ''love'' to accuse her of being a [[Relationship Sue]].

** Several Shinji/Rei 'shippers have managed to [[Flanderization|Flanderize]] Asuka from a [[Tsundere]] [[Jerkass Woobie|with deep-seated psychological issues]] to an outright [[Yandere|psycho]]. And then there's Shinji/Asuka fic in which Rei is either a soulless zombie or creepier than Kaworu. Heavens above, there is a fanfic somewhere where ''Maya'' was turned into a secretly evil and psychotic member of the SEELE council who had implanted Adam's embryo onto ''her'' hand just to facilitate Ritsuko/Gendo of all things. Gendo/Ritsuko is ''canon'', but varieties of it that involve true love take more work.

* An alternate-universe OVA series for ''[[Da Capo]]'', in which the [[Fan-Preferred Couple|fan-preferred]] Kotori wins, was released several years after the original series. In this series, {{spoiler|[[Die for Our Ship]] is ''actually'' invoked: Nemu is shown to have died some time before the story begins.}} A number of fans were... quite happy about this.

* Probably the current #1 cause of dislike for Kaaya from ''[[The Tower of Druaga (anime)|The Tower of Druaga]]'', with many fans believing that Jil had more chemistry with Fatina than he ever had with Kaaya.

** Also, certain shippers actually ''like'' the idea of Doumeki's [[Ho Yay]] with Watanuki being [[One Sided Shipping|one-sided]]. It's not so much that they ''like'' Watanuki/Himawari as that, in that way, Watanuki is completely clueless to Doumeki's feelings for him.

* ''[[Lupin III]]'' fandom is small enough -- and the [[Estrogen Brigade]] portion of it especially so -- that people don't actively flame one another, for the most part. The Lupin/Jigen, Jigen/Goemon, Lupin/Goemon and Lupin/Zenigata shippers can often hold quite civil and mature conversations with one another. What they ''will not'' tolerate is Lupin/Fujiko. Or ''Anyone''/Fujiko, for that matter. Granted, she's devious as a cat and twice as manipulative, but you'd be hard pressed to find any named character on the show who ''isn't''. The Lupin fangirls hate her because she's "mean" to their cute little thief (who harasses every attractive woman he meets, including her); the Goemon fangirls don't care for her 'cause she seduced then dumped their man in the first season (the only really justified complaint on this list); the Jigen fangirls agree with their adorably scruffy gunman, that she's "trouble" (again, [[Weirdness Magnet|take look at the]] [[Cartwright Curse|others' track records]]); and the Zenigata fangirls (yep, they exist) just think she's a [[Real Women Never Wear Dresses|vapid bimbo]] ([[Action Girl|who is capable of building an explosive device powerful enough to destroy a solid oak door]] [[The Smart Guy|but small enough to fit inside a high heel.]] This isn't even taking into account the number of times she's saved her male compatriots' necks by charming her way into serving as [[The Mole]] when needed. Or the number of times she's [[I Was Just Passing Through|freaked out at the thought of Lupin being in peril)]].

* ''[[Captain Tsubasa]]'' fandom, ''please'' stop bashing [[Naive Everygirl|Kumi Sugimoto]] for daring to have a crush on [[The Hero|Tsubasa Ohzora]] and not being shy about it. She ''never ever'' hated [[Shorttank|Sanae Nakazawa]] for liking him as well, and in the manga she went as far as to {{spoiler|confront Sanae on their common love for him (in a very apologetic and sweet way, gotta add)}}, then {{spoiler|take Tsubasa's rejection ''and'' his love for Sanae with [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|incredible grace]], and [[Shipper on Deck|push him towards his soon-to-be]] [[Victorious Childhood Friend]] without any ulterior thoughts.}} Then ''why'' is she usually portrayed as an idiotic, cruel, Tsubasa-obsessed [[Yandere]] in fanwork?

* Mainly averted with [[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]. While Tsuna is in love with Kyoko, she is a bit of a [[Shallow Love Interest]] and most fans just ignore her existence or Tsuna's crush on her. Then again, there are [[Cast Full of Pretty Boys|more guys]] with big parts than the girls in this series

* Any guesses as to why [[Clannad|Nagisa Furukawa]] is [[Fan Nickname|nicknamed]] "Miss Cockroach"? A part of it comes from her [[Hair Antennae]]. The rest... well, ask more than one Tomoya/(read: Tomoyo, Kyou, Ryou, Kotomi) shipper.

*** Some [[Boys Love|BL]] fans deride Nami for being an "abusive control freak" (AKA, typical type A [[Tsundere]]) and Luffy/Nami fans sometimes claim Hancock has no right to behave the way she does because ''[[Too Dumb to Live|there's no way a 12 year old slave girl could ever be seriously abused sexually or otherwise''.]]

**** Let's state the bottom line that any example of this trope in OP fandom is uniquely insane for what should be [[No Hugging, No Kissing|obvious]] [[Chaste Hero|reasons.]]

* ''[[After School Nightmare]]'''s Kureha Fujishiro. Yeah, she's a [[Clingy Jealous Girl]] who finds solace in Mashiro's company because she [[Does Not Like Men]], but still... ''Poor, poor'' {{spoiler|horribly sexually abused}} ''Kureha''. It's only made even worse by the [[Draco in Leather Pants]] status granted to [[Casanova|Sou Mizuhashi]], Mashiro's other love interest, even when he's kind of a [[Bastard Boyfriend]]...

* The cast of ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' have all fallen victim to this. Because you can rationalise pretty much any pairing with Haruhi, fanfic writers will portray any characters percieved as being in the way as evil, controlling, abusive, and the like, particularly Hikaru in Kaoru/Haruhi and vice-versa, or Mori in Honi/Haruhi, and often Tamaki in anything. Because [[Ho Yay]] can also be seen in any way you want, there's always at least one victim, usually Haruhi or that character's [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Heterosexual Life Partner]].
