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

** 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.

** There's a Shinji/Rei fic where Asuka not only turned out as a Yandere but [[Manipulative Bastard|actively manipulated Misato's suppressed maternal instinct to turn her against them as well]]. Result: this trope's name applied onto Asuka as well as Misato being carted off to a mental institute to get Asuka's indoctrination off her.

** Maybe not an exact fit for this trope but in the S/A doujinshi ''RE-Take'', Rei was killed off in the very first issue. When she was rejected by Shinji, Rei had gone home and '''hung herself'''; three guesses as to who found her body first. Sure, she has her backup clones, and Shinji was already distancing himself due to foreknowledge of her nature (closing in with Asuka in the process), but still!

* For ''[[School Rumble]]'', there's ongoing [[Ship-to-Ship Combat]] between Harima/Eri and Harima/Tenma fans. Eri fans are adamant that Tenma is [[The Vamp|a tease who was only playing with Harima's heart]] the entire series, when in reality, Tenma [[Oblivious to Love|honestly did not know about Harima's feelings until the very end of the series]]; she never loved anyone other than Karasuma, and [[Shipper on Deck|actively SUPPORTED Harima trying to win his love over]] (despite her not knowing that ''she'' is said love) and [[Tomboy and Girly Girl|is good friends with Eri]] to boot. Tenma fans, on the other hand, insist that Eri is a [[Spoiled Brat]] [[Rich Bitch]] who doesn't really love Harima, while in fact [[Tsundere|she really does love Harima but is very proud]]. Most of the war here comes from delusion and overreaction, unfortunately, especially since Karasuma/Tenma and Harima/Eri have been [[Official Couple|all but canon]] throughout most of the series.
