** Andy pretty much sees this as a [[Like Brother and Sister]] moment; having lived most of his life with Mai, he has a hard time adequately returning her affections. The status quo is kept in the second anime special (minus an [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|epic]] [[Curb Stomp Battle|asskicking]] of Laurence for harming her), but this is finally averted in [[The Movie]], where they actually share a kiss after Andy trounces [[Stalker with a Crush|Hauer]] and Mai finishes [[Love Martyr|Panni]]. |

Later games (''KOF'' series notwithstanding) put the psychopathy front and center, making Yamazaki into the nutter we all know and love, which puts into perspective how [[Tropes Are Not Bad]]. |
