Foe Yay/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

[[File:DN_agnel_foe_yay_edit_copy_flop_4346DN agnel foe yay edit copy flop 4346.jpg|link=D.N.Angel|frame|[[Is That What TheyreThey're Calling It Now?|"Capture"?]]]]

{{quote|'''[[Big Bad|Bakura]]''': Marik, I... I hate you. I hate you with all my heart. I hate you more than I've ever hated anybody. I hate you so much I can barely take it. In fact, I want to go on hating you for the rest of my life...<br />

'''[[Transparent Closet|Marik]]''': Oh, Bakura! I had no idea you felt that way about me! I-if it makes you feel any better, I hate you too. I think I hated you from the moment I first met you.<br />

'''Bakura''': In that case Marik, if we win this duel, let us go and make sweet hatred together. Just you and me. Hating each other. All night long.|''[[Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]''}}

* ''[[Air Gear (Manga)|Air Gear]]'': In chapter 278 Agito fights the masochist Arthur who, at one point, pelvic thrusts against him and nibbles his ear.

* ''[[Angel Beats (Anime)|Angel Beats!]]'': After hearing Naoi's life story, Otonashi hugs him, despite the former having massacred his friends and having planned to hypnotize them into disappearing. Naoi then becomes Otonashi's fanboy.

* In ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]]'', England and France have a long-running bitter rivalry and never pass up an opportunity to fight each other, which is translated into sexual tension in some fanfics. (It doesn't help that France almost succeeded in forcing England to marry him at one point, and also attempted to molest England [[Dude, She's Like, in Aa Coma|when he was bedridden]].)

*** [[Sitcom Arch Nemesis|France]] caring for [[Foe Yay|England]] when the latter's laid up with a bad cold. France is genuinely concerned and rather affectionate to [[Fan Nickname|Iggy]] throughout. The [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]] vibe between these ancient rivals/friends/[[Belligerent Sexual Tension|what have you]] is really strong in that moment.

* The attraction that Slan, the female member of the Godhand, has to Guts from ''[[Berserk]]''. Given that she's a sadistic demonic god, she basically derives a lot of pleasure from all the suffering she and the other God Hands can put him through. And it's not exactly helped by the fact that Slan is [[Too Kinky to Torture]] -- the—the only thing Guts succeeds in doing by impaling and blowing off half of Slan's torso with his [[Arm Cannon]] during his battle with her in the Qliphoth is ''giving her an orgasm.''

** Or [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|Griffith/Casca]].

** And some mild Rosine/Guts right before {{spoiler|she attempts to kill him}}. She [https://web.archive.org/web/20111115100318/http://view.thespectrum.net/series/berserk-volume-11.html?ch=Volume+16&page=53 flirts with Guts and mentions how attractive he is] (despite her almost [[Single -Target Sexuality]] obsession with [[Les Yay|Jill]]). 

* Similar to [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Kaiba and Yugi]], Kai and Tyson of ''[[Beyblade]]'' have nearly the same relationship, as Kai is determined to beat his rival.

* ''[[Black Cat (Mangamanga)|Black Cat]]''. Creed ''openly'' acknowledges a pseudo-romantic obsession with Train, to the point that he kills Saya in the 6th episode of the series, out of jealousy that she's too close to Train, and "seducing" him to not be a killer. Seriously, he [[In Love Withwith Your Carnage|basically has a boner everytime he watches Train go on a killing spree]].

* For rival crime lords who have attempted to murder one another at least once, [[Black Lagoon (Anime)|Mr. Chang and Ms. Balalaika]] sure do behave rather flirtatiously towards each other.

* ''[[Bleach]]'': There is a very twisted straight example in the warped relationship between former 3rd Espada Nel Tu and 5th Espada Nnoitra Jiruga. Nel's constant attempts at saving Nnoitra, coupled with the fact that Nnoitra, no matter what he does, cannot seem to get her out of his head don't help.

*** Just check out this picture from CLAMP's Mutuality artbook where [https://web.archive.org/web/20100913080107/http://www.animepaper.net/gallery/scans/Code-Geass/item212388/ Suzaku is about to lick Lelouch's sword in lust.]

** The last 2 episodes take it to a whole new level, giving Lelouch a bunch of [[Foe Yay]] [[Brother -Sister Incest|with his sister Nunnally.]]

* Don't forget {{spoiler|Sakura Kinomoto and Syaoran Li}} from ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Cardcaptor Sakura]]''. You can just feel the enmity (and the attraction) between those two. And it's actually canon.

* ''[[Darker Than Black (Anime)|Darker Thanthan Black]]'': In the second season, Genma makes some creepy comments about Suou being cute, hits on Yoko, and also declares love for Hei.

* In ''[[Deadman Wonderland]]'', there's lots of [[Foe Yay]] present between Genkaku and Nagi. What, with Genkaku [[In Love Withwith Your Carnage|getting turned on by Nagi killing]], trying desperately to [[We Can Rule Together|get Nagi to join the Undertakers]], and getting jealous and angry at Karako for giving Nagi a [[Cooldown Hug]]. Not to mention that he tells Nagi that what he says is "cute", and that [[A Love to Dismember|Nagi's hand has become very cute too]] (after Nagi's hand was cut off by Hibana). Genkaku's obsession with Nagi is eventually [[Anvilicious|shown outright]] with Genkaku actually coming out and telling Nagi he "loved him."

* Light and L of ''[[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]''. They even spend a significant amount of time [[Chains of Love|handcuffed to each other]]... and then there was that foot massage.

** L also has some of this with Misa, the Second Kira. He tells her that he's a big fan of hers, though it's not certain whether he was lying about that, touches her butt while stealing her phone, ties her up "all fetishy" during her interrogation, and later sweet-talks her into helping him catch {{spoiler|the Yotsuba Kira.}} When Misa kisses his cheek, L answers with, "I could actually fall for you." Again, though, this may have been a lie, according to [[Word of God]].

** How did we get this far without commenting on Mello and Near's odd concern about each other? There is a whole [[Foe Yay]] aspect to it, but Mello is so overly concerned with everything Near does it comes across as stalkerish. When he talks about Mello, Near is likewise very complimenting and admiring, and toward the end says he and Mello should have been partners, and that it would've led to great things.

*** Also Beyond Birthday and L. Beyond is COMPLETLY obsessed with L {{spoiler|to the point he dresses like him and copies his mannerisms}} and the way L {{spoiler|delegates the case to Naomi Misora}} and given their [[Mysterious Past|mysterious]] [[Dark and Troubled Past|shared history]] it kind of comes off like he's hiding from his abusive ex-boyfriend. There is also implied [[UST]] between Naomi and Beyond, especially in the scene when {{spoiler|[[Detective Mole|she's working the case with him]]}} and she stops and stares at her wedding ring like she's having second thoughts about being engaged to Raye-[[Betty and Veronica|the plain Betty to B's Veronica.]]

*** And Halle/Misa. [[Foe Yay|There's their brief fight-scene together.]]

*** Ryuk/Light. It's Ryuk that [[Corrupt the Cutie|tempts Light into evil]] [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|by leaving a dangerous, forbidden object at Light's school and then following him home.]] [[ScheherezadeScheherazade Gambit|Ryuk isn't on Light's side and could kill him at anytime, however he thinks Light is more fun alive and he wants to be entertained...]]

* In ''[[D .Gray Man-man]]'', there is quite a bit of [[Foe Yay]] present between Allen and Tyki. Some notable scenes include Tyki "killing" Allen (which [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|resembled a sort of "violation," with Tyki sticking his hand into Allen]]), the suggestive dialogue with Tyki telling Allen, "Don't be so cold, boy. An Exorcist made a Noah strip down to his underwear. Was that the first time you did it? Do you think it was destiny for it to be us?" and Tyki seeming miffed when Allen tells him that he'd done it to many people before. During their fight later, there's another [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]] moment with Tyki telling Allen, "This is giving me the thrills. I'll break you, one more time, with this hand!" Not to mention Road telling Lavi that Tyki likes Allen as much as she does (this being after it was established that she likes Allen enough to ''kiss'' him).

** [https://web.archive.org/web/20100726220426/http://www.onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/188/37/ The Earl and Allen]. How about it people?

{{quote| '''Millennium Earl:''' "Why.... by his side. I want to be by the 14th's side."}}

** [https://web.archive.org/web/20100725172718/http://www.onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/192/11/ Some more fuel] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100725094607/http://www.onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/192/12/ for Allen/Road]. Heck, this troper thought they were gonna kiss [https://web.archive.org/web/20100725082542/http://www.onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/192/15/ for a second].

*** And Nanami tries a [[We Can Rule Together]] with Touma/Thomas. Nanami is an [[Expy]] of [[Death Note (Manga)|Misa Amane]], as you expect, the tone she used (both Original and the dub) to deliver the words [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|making them sound like she was seducing Touma]]. [[Up to Eleven|And then she appeared in his illusion as]] a busty, [[Horny Devils|Lamia-like half snake girl with]] [[Naughty Tentacles]] [[Freud Was Right|that hugs him]], [[Refuge in Audacity|then she closing on him and touch his face tenderly and began to seduce him again]] ([[It Makes Sense in Context|to join her path]]). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WchXIjs8nf0 I wish I making this up...]

* Daisuke Niwa and Satoshi Hiwatari from ''[[D.N.Angel]]''. Daisuke initially transforms with a picture of Risa; Satoshi transforms with a picture of ''Daisuke''. If that's not enough, the climactic arc begins with the two of them cast as romantic leads in a play, and ends with [[ThePromethean Punishment]] pitted against [[The Power of Friendship]]. Friendship. ''Right''.

* Vegeta from ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]] Z'' certainly seems to have this level of obsession with the main character Goku, although it isn't shared. Also of note is that another villain, Freeza, is prone to this in the [[Dub Text|US dub]], both being [[Cross -Dressing Voices|voiced by a woman with a raspy old lady voice]] (like a flapper?), and using blatant sexual innuendo towards Goku.

** While we're on the subject of Goku and Vegeta, why hasn't the Ki bondage that Maijin Vegeta did to Goku during the Buu Saga been mentioned yet?

* ''Dragon Quest: Dai's Great Adventure'' (''Dragon Quest: [[Dai no Daibouken]]'') has the relationship between Marm/Maam and Hyunkel (and also {{spoiler|Merle's love for Hyunkel, though it's technically after his [[Heel Face Turn]]}}). The obsession of [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Hadlar/Hadler with Aban/Ivan/Avan]] then Dai teems with subtext. To be fair, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090219022233/http://www.onemanga.com/Dragon_Quest_Dai_no_Daiboken/243/10/ few men can admit with so much seriousness and classe that another man's fighting technique excites them and that it's become their only reason to live]. [[Freud Was Right|Fighting technique... right]].

* The [[Foe Yay]] between ''[[Durarara!!]]'''s Shizuo and Izaya is rampant enough that [http://anni-fiesta.livejournal.com/5658.html even the characters themselves] are starting to wonder if there's hatesex going on behind the scenes.

** Best shown when they fight and Yuki got close enough to kiss Kyou before kicking him away.

** Also some Pride/Ed. Pride tries to take over Ed's body as a new container and gives him a lecture. Not to mention {{spoiler|Edward defeats Pride by transmuting himself as a Philosopher's Stone and "forcing his way inside" Pride. Note that both Ed and Pride are having an [[Out -of -Clothes Experience]] for this scene.}} He's also kind enough to put his {{spoiler|true form}} on his jacket.

* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]!'', the first season: Gauron's one-sided fixation on Sousuke is like this. In episode 24 while Gauron's trying to blow himself and Sousuke up (possibly in his screwed-up mind, as a lover's double suicide), he cries out, "I LOVE YOU, KASHIM!" About Gauron's line "I love you, Kashim!" — in Japanese, Gauron actually says "Aishiteru ze", which literally means "I love you" with all the romantic and sexual connotations attached to it.

** And then there's how, as further shown in the novels, Gauron was shown to be ''recording video footage of Sousuke'', and was [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|watching it with ecstasy]]. His partner, annoyed with the results, asks Gauron ''what'' exactly Gauron is getting out of this video. Gauron replies gleefully that it's all worth it, since he can watch his "precious boy." Yeah, [[Sarcasm Mode|sure he's only using that video for business purposes...]]

** Actually, every single interaction Gauron has with ''anyone'' can have some [[Foe Yay]] / [[Memetic Molester|rapist]] vibes to it. In the novels, Kaname finds out that "that creepy, disgusting man" stripped her naked for the experiments, which made her writhe in disgust (coupled with how, later, he calls her "[[Hey, You|Kana-chan]]," something only her best friend Kyoko calls her). And then there's his manhandling of Tessa, where he makes it clear that he'll do "X-Rated things unsuitable for minors to see to this cute little captain" if they don't obey. And after she heads off one of his attempts at attacking a submarine, he handcuffs her, pulls her by her hair, gets close to her face, and tells her with a rapeface that he's "really mad," but that he'll "punish her" instead of killing her. And then there's his way of subduing Dunnigan, which looks a ''lot'' like him asserting who's the one in charge by pseudo-raping him (c'mon, ''[[media:Gauron_RapeFaceGauron RapeFace.jpg|look]]'' [[media:Gauron_Raep2Gauron Raep2.jpg|at]] [[media:Gauron_RaepGauron Raep.jpg|this]]). And last but not least, it's canon that he's [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|obsessively in love]] with Sousuke (ever since the latter was [[Shotacon|12 years old]]), and actually literally wanted to buttrape him (he actually lamented about how he wasn't able to, and how he regrets it). [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/full_metal_panic_sigma/v03/c008/33.html Be sure to take note of the rapeface.]

* ''[[Ga -Rei Zero]]'': Kagura and Yomi start out as [[Les Yay]] and later fall into this.

* In ''[[Get BackersGetBackers]]'', Akabane's major goal in life is get his kicks however he can -- preferablycan—preferably with a very challenging murder involved somehow. The eponymous duo are his favorite opponents. He seems to go out of his way to work with (or against...) them, and there's plenty of [[Fanfic]] pairing him with each (or both...). Akabane actually visited Ginji in the hospital once (causing Ginji to faint.)

** There was/is a small epidemic of fic pairing Ban with Kazuki, probably because [[Unsettling Gender Reveal|of that time Ban saw him naked]], and because their interactions tend to flip between highly suspicious games of "I-know-something-you-don't-want-me-to," childish name-calling, and [[Teeth -Clenched Teamwork]]. Also, Kazuki states that he finds Ban very intriguing and early on, seems to be stalking him and Ginji for kicks.

** One of ''the most'' pronounced and blaring [[Foe Yay]] in the series can be found within the [[Ax Crazy]] Fudou and Ban (though it's definitely ''very'' one-sided for Fudou). After Ban ripped off Fudou's arm, Fudou becomes completely obsessed with Ban. He even keeps his own severed, rotting arm with him to constantly remind himself of Ban - which made him feel "incredible chills rising up throughout his body." Pretty much every line he spouts to Ban is [[Foe Yay]] and ''very'' homoerotic. And when he isn't talking ''to'' Ban, every word coming from his mouth is normally ''about'' Ban. Some notably [[Foe Yay]]-tastic lines include: [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|"COME, COME, COME, COME, your eyes, your flesh, blood, your screams, GIVE YOUR BODY TO ME! MEET MY DESIRES!"]] "Don't die yet, Mido - I'm not finished. You still need to quench my thirst - I'm not done. Let me enjoy myself." "What was my job again? My mind goes blank whenever I see you." "The only thing that can stop this shaking... is for me to slurp up your blood!" And when Ban starts worrying about his [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Heterosexual Life Partner]] Ginji, Fudou gets ''pissed''. "What are you looking at?! Look at '''me''', Takuma Fudou!!"

* Hijikata and Gintoki from ''[[Gintama (Manga)|Gintama]]'', despite being complete rivals in everything from swordfighting to favorite foods, wind up getting the most yaoi doujinshi dedicated to their supposedly homo-homo adventures. The fact that Sunrise gleefully [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] certain aspects of their relationship in the anime doesn't quite help, either. For example: At one point in episode 92 we see Gintoki holding a mock manga cover with him and Hijikata in a suggestive pose. 

* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Anime)|Gundam 00]]'''s Graham Aker/Mr. Bushido and his obsession with the Gundams he fights is the very definition of this trope. He has even declared that he [[Cargo Ship|is in love with]] the Gundam.

* This defines the relationship between Rally Vincent and the [[Big Bad]] Goldie Musou in ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'' manga, even though it's decidedly one-sided, with Goldie's desire to possess Rally, body and soul is the main reason for their conflict. There's also some [[Foe Yay]] between Rally and the [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]] rival/enemy/ally Bean Bandit. 

* ''[[Guilty Crown|Guilty Crown's]]'' first bit of foe yay is rather unsettling in that the one going yay is a ''thirty-to-fourty year old [[Axe Crazy]] [[Torture Technician]]'' and the one he's yaying about is a ''[[Ordinary High School Student|seventeen-year-old school boy.]]'' Hihg-ranking GHQ member, Makoto Waltz Segai, actually ''shoots a sniper'' that's '''working for him''' in order to see young Shu use his powers. Two episodes later, he thinks back to that moment and says that he feels like he's ''falling in love.'' Considering the [[Code Geass|writers]] and the [[Death Note (Manga)|director]], there may be more of this coming.

* ''[[High School DXDDxD]]'' has a one-sided [[Foe Yay]] between Issei the protagonist, and Vali his rival, more on his side. Issei just doesn't want to do anything with him while Vali would like to defeat him. Heck, the latter even stated that he looked so uncool in front of Issei when {{spoiler|Cao Cao used Samael, the dragon eater, to poison him.}}

* While not foes in most arcs, Mion and her [[Twincest|twin sister]] Shion from [[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)ni|Higurashi]] count, especially in Meakashi-hen and Wataganashi-hen.

* Touya Akira and his rival Shindou Hikaru spend 95% of both the manga and the anime ''[[Hikaru no Go]]'' obsessing about each other -- hellother—hell, Hikaru even learns to play go because he wants Touya to be obsessed with ''him'' and not Sai. Naturally, the yaoi doujinshi and fanfics starring the two of them are legion.

* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Higurashi no Naku Koro Nini]]'' - Tomitake x Takano in Minagoroshi-hen could be considered as such. Also, don't forget Keiichi x Rena in Tsumihoroboshi-hen's rooftop battle scene, and maybe Onikakushi-hen as well. ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Umineko no Naku Koro Nini]]'' 's Bernkastel x Lambdadelta also caused some shippings of Takano x Rika. 

** He also has some towards Kuroro. And [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:File:Hunter_×_Hunter_episode_27Hunter × Hunter episode 27.png |towards Kurapika]]; During the fourth stage of the Hunter Exam, on Zevil Island, Hisoka refers to him as an "unripe fruit", however, his interest in him is minimal compared to his interest in Gon and Killua. At some instances he referred to Kurapika's blue eyes as "delicious" and Kurapika's scarlet eyes "exciting". He forms a loose alliance with Kurapika later, however, against the Phantom Troupe.

* Perhaps Sesshoumaru is just after the sword (in a manner of speaking) but he and "[[Inuyasha]]," who are brothers, tend to have quite a bit of Foe Yay happening between them -- especiallythem—especially in the earlier parts of the series. Arguably, this continues into the third movie.

** Also Jakotsu and his enemy Inuyasha, which is very one-sided on Jakotsu's part [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|towards Inuyasha]]. He also flirts with Sesshoumaru and Miroku once.

* ''[[The Idolmaster (Animeanime)|THE iDOLM@STER]]'' - One of the girls from the Shinkan Shoujo Productions falls instantly in love with Makoto.

* ''[[Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure (Manga)|Jo JosJoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]''--

* ''[[Black Butler (Manga)|Black Butler]]'':

** And now Claude/Ciel, what with Claude practically having an orgasm after tasting Ciel's blood. In episode 9 while knitting, he says "[[Does This Remind You of Anything?|I will pierce your soft skin with my needle and slowly suck out your sensual soul.]]", mind rapes Ciel, and gets all touchy feely with him.

** Seeing as how Sebastian practically oozes sex he has some of this with everybody.

** Ritsuka and Semei. Though Semei doesn't see Ritsuka as his enemy, Ritsuka is kind of torn on what Semei is, exactly, due to what people have told him about him and many unanswered questions. Such as why he faked his death.

* [[Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist|Zenigata-keibu]] of ''[[Lupin III]]'' fame is rumoured to be married. [[Have I Mentioned I Am Heterosexual Today?|To a lady]]. Huh. [[Enemy Mine|Could've]] [[Tsundere|fooled]] [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|me]] (it's actually rather sweet how his life falls apart whenever he's taken off the Lupin case). Of course, our dear protagonist doesn't help matters by [[Alternate Character Interpretation|constantly flirting with him]].

* Seven Arcs took this and ran with it in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (Animeanime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', with its constant, ''constant'' [[Ship Tease]] between [[Magical Girl]] and former [[Dark Magical Girl]]. That the male alternative didn't get a chance to fight Nanoha is actually a point against him.

** The sequel Manga ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Vi VidViVid]]'' also gives Nanoha's adopted daughter a similar relationship.

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima (Manga)|Mahou Sensei Negima]]''

** Tsukuyomi and Setsuna. Tsukuyomi has [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|a bit of an obsession]] with her [[Sempai -Kohai|sempai]] Setsuna. Sure, she's a fairly minor villain, but when she shows up... [https://web.archive.org/web/20080930092028/http://www.mangafox.com/page/manga/read/71/mahou_sensei_negima/chapter.67808/page.8/ holy crap.]

** Fate has an odd penchant for literally getting in Negi's face at times and invading his personal space. And when he appeared to be quite entertained and had a smile on his face, in contrast with his normal stoic expression, during one of their fights together when he saw that Negi had gotten stronger: "[[In Love Withwith Your Carnage|Beautiful. That's what I'm looking for Negi-kun.]]"

{{quote| '''Kurt:''' " I see... So this is the [[Super -Powered Evil Side|Gospel of Darkness]]... hahah. Negi-kun... the more I observe you, the more I want you for my own."}}

* If Mai and Mikoto are the poster children for ''[[Mai-HiME (Anime)|MaiMy-HiME]]'' [[Ho Yay|Les Yay]], then surely Natsuki and Nao have to be their [[Foe Yay]] counterparts. Seeing the two of them tied up together (but [[Chained Heat|not to each other]]) and singing karaoke on stage in goofy costumes together may have something to do with the prevalence of Natsuki/Nao fics on certain sites (which shall not be named).

** There is a [[Ship Tease]] moment on one of the ''[[Mai-Otome (Anime)|Mai-Otome]]'' Drama Tracks when Nao joins Natsuki in the shower and confesses that she's only been so harsh and insulting towards Natsuki in order to hide her real feelings. Whether or not she was just lying to gain information is up to debate.

** Natsuki has plenty of this with Mai in the ''[[Mai-HiME (Mangamanga)|Mai-HiME]]'' manga. For all the fighting she and Mai do over their "key" (male main character Yuuichi Tate), Natsuki spends a lot of time <s>obsessing over</s> making fun of Mai's [[Ms. Fanservice|figure]].

* In ''[[Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro]]'', the tension between X (Kaitou Sai) and Neuro is definitely [[Foe Yay]]. Especially with X acting like a [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]].

* In ''[[Mao-chan (Anime)|Mao-chan]]'', it's not even subtext--thesubtext—the supposed-to-be-a-villain [[Lolicon|Yuriko]] is ''very'' much in love with her diminutive enemy Mao, and doesn't even really want to be a villain (leaving her second-in-command to do all the work.) Mao [[Onee -Sama|admires Yuriko]] too, (probably not ''that'' way, but as a [[Cool Big Sis]]), although it should be noted that Mao doesn't know that Yuriko is one of the aliens she's fighting.

* ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Anime)|Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ]]''. Haman Karn develops an obsession with protagonist Judau Ashta after initially mistaking his Newtype resonance for that of Char Aznable, and consequently makes several advances towards him in the numerous encounters they have over the course of the series. The issue regarding Judau's age has led some to believe that Haman's history with [[Lolicon|Char]] may have [[Shotacon|had an influence on her preferences]].

* Suk/{{spoiler|Johan}} is ''canon'' for ''[[Monster (Animemanga)|Monster]]'' (although in a very... [[Mind Game Ship|terrifying way]]). One could make a good case for everyone in the series being in love with Johan without anyone batting an eyelid, and Lunge/Tenma is especially pronounced, not surprising due to the similarities between them and ''[[Les Misérables (Literaturenovel)|Les Misérables]]''.

* [[Muhyo and Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation|Muhyo and Enchu]], which is arguably halfway canon now, what with Enchu's little love confession before getting shut away forever.

* In ''[[Nightmare Inspector]]'', there's a good deal of [[Foe Yay]] between [[White -Haired Pretty Boy|Tsukishiro]] and {{spoiler|Azusa}}. Even before they meet, Tsukishiro hears about {{spoiler|Azusa}} and comments that he'd like to meet him, as he sounds much more interesting than Hiruko. Then in the last few chapters, they finally meet. {{spoiler|Azusa}} threatens to [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|eat Tsukishiro]] in order to aquire all the nightmares he's eaten. Tsukishiro responds to this by ''blushing'', and giving {{spoiler|Azusa}} a rather flirtatious-seeming look. Later on, he gets trapped in a void in the Delirium, which makes his feelings materialize in a sort of hallucination. In said delusion, he's being stabbed and ripped apart by {{spoiler|Azusa}}, and he more or less admits that he was turned on by the earlier threats.

* ''[[Night WalkerNightwalker]]'': Cain and Shido.

* ''[[Noir (Animeanime)|Noir]]'': Lady Silvana, aka the Intoccabile, gives Mireille an excessively long (and open-mouthed) [[Kiss of Death]]. And beforehand, when they were children, she was [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|very obsessed with Mireille]], traumatizing her for life. Her behavior did not seem to be so much of an obsession with Mireille herself, as much as an obsession with domination and control. The kiss seemed to be more about putting fear into Mireille by confusing her and establishing dominance.

* In pretty much any 'spiritual contract' series, you're guaranteed some sparks between the human and the thing at the end of the leash. In ''[[Nora]]'', however, the hatred that the titular [[Hell Hound]] holds for [[The Kid Withwith the Leash|Kazuma]], combined with Kazuma's constant [[Magnificent Bastard|smirking]] and remarks of "Interesting..." regarding Nora, make for ungodly amounts of slashiness even at their first meeting.

* Tabool in ''[[Now and Then, Here Andand There]]'' is unhealthily obsessed with garnering any attention whatsoever from his best-friend-turned-rival, Nabuca, to the point that he gets jealous of a freaking ''six''-year-old. Long story short: Nabuca continues to reject Tabool and it [[Rival Turned Evil|does not end well]].

* Although it was very shortly before she got [[Put Onon a Bus]], and the author is prone to launch [[The Ship Yard|Air To Sea Missiles]], the battle between Usopp and Perona on ''[[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]'' seemed this way, at least from her side. Turning giant and giving him a skirt shot... phasing through his crotch... is there any other way to take that?

{{quote| '''Nami'': [[Stupid Sexy Flanders|WAIT! I'M NOT A MAN!]]}}

* ''[[Outlaw Star]]'': Harry [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|towards]] Melfina.

* In ''[[Peacemaker Kurogane]]'' (especially in the manga), Suzu becomes [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|obsessed with Tetsunosuke, constantly having his every action monitored]]. He becomes jealous and scared when Ryoma decides to take Tetsunosuke away with him, taking drastic action to {{spoiler|kill Ryoma and frame Tetsunosuke for it, so that Tetsunosuke won't be able to get away from him}}. Suzu pretty much even comes out and says, after another character asks him why he hates and obsesses over Tetsunosuke so much, that "this isn't hate -- it's love."

* ''[[Phi Brain: Kami no Puzzle]]'' gives us [[Big Bad|Rook]] and [[The Hero|Kaito.]] The two were childhood friends. Unfortunately, Rook was taken away as a child and eventually became a [[Tyke Bomb]] who determined that Kaito was the perfect candidate for [[Title Drop|Phi Brain]], a program filled with [[Death Trap]] puzzles, the ultimate goal of which is to create the perfect puzzle solver. [[It Makes Sense in Context]]. As Kaito solves puzzles, Rook gushes over how beautiful he is when doing so. He even concocts a plan to convince Kaito that the best thing to do is to leave his [[Nakama]] behind and join him. {{spoiler|It doesn't work.}} He gets ''very'' angry when Kaito's [[Love Interest]], Nonoha, displays how close she and Kaito are. When Kaito finally makes it clear that he will '''never''' join POG, the conglomerate Rook works for, Rook goes into a mad rage, screaming that Kaito is ''his'' and that he has to join him. Rook's [[The Dragon|personal Dragon]] needs to hold him back from making a grab at Kaito himself.

* Ranma and Ryoga from ''[[Ranma One Half|Ranma 1/2½]]''. It's even more convenient when Ranma has a female form which he (she?) often uses to embarrass Ryoga (and the latter always falls for it.)

*** It' even more blatant in the anime, where Ryoga saves female-Ranma from a [[Go for Thethe Eye|seemingly invincible]] snow golem, cradling her in his arms as if she were a real girl.

** Ruthlessly parodied and [[Ship Sinking|sunk]] by [[Rumiko Takahashi|the author]] in the [[Ship Tease|"Fishing Rod of Love"]] story. Ryoga is depicted as being absolutely disgusted when he accidentally hits Ranma with the titular [[Love Potion]], and even carries him/her away into the woods with the intent of killing the [[Gender Bender]] and burying him/her so he won't have to put up with it any more. When he initially can't bring himself to kill someone so brainwashed that they're perfectly willing to die if [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|that's what he wants]], Ranma proceeds to kiss him... and Ryoga's restraint flies out the window and he starts trying to kill Ranma. Finally, at the episode's end, Ranma gets freed from the [[Love Potion]] and Ryoga accidentally [[Glomp|Glomps]]s him while trying to hug Akane... Ranma promptly goes ballistic and beats Ryoga to a pulp in horror and disgust.

** In episode 87 when Ryoga falls on top of Ranma in the path of an oncoming train Ranma tries to get Ryoga off of him and all the movement [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|makes it look like they're having sex]]. He also worries about Ryoga when he gets injured and carries him.

* ''[[Rosario Plus Vampire|Rosario+ Vampire]]'': Hitomi constantly rants about how beautiful Moka is, while trying to kill her or turn her to stone.

** Miyabi Fujisaki once [[Forceful Kiss|forces a kiss]] on Mizore.

** Kuyou and Tsukune.

** "[[Saint Seiya: theThe Lost Canvas]]" takes this to quite the extreme with [[Flower Power|Pisces]] [[Even the Guys Want Him|Albafica]] and [[Complete Monster|Gryphon Minos]], whose comments-and actions-leave little to the imagination. This trope is then seen again and again and again with [[Genius Bruiser|Leo Regulus]] and [[Ax Crazy|Behemoth Violate]], [[Crazy Awesome|Cancer Manigoldo]] and [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|Veronica]], Libra Dohko and Bennu Kagaho...the list goes on. Forever. Oh-and of course, [[The Hero|Pegasus Tenma]] and [[Big Bad|Alone]]. 

** Teshirogi, who draws ''[[Saint Seiya: theThe Lost Canvas]]'', seems to take this to consideration a bit too much. {{spoiler|Between Alone/Hades and Pegasus Tenma, taken [[Up to Eleven]] past chapter 212 (because if chapter 214 isn't a confession, what is?)}} 

* In'' [[Samurai Seven7]]'', Ukyo had a fetish for Kirara, who aids the samurai who oppose him. Even though they are enemies, he still wants her in his harem.

* Hisa and Mihoko of ''[[Saki (Mangamanga)|Saki]]''. Seems like Hisa left quite a large impression on Mihoko after the latter's powers proved quite ineffective against the former.

{{quote| '''Mihoko:''' Maybe she'll tell me my [[Mismatched Eyes|right eye]] is pretty once again.}}

* It's a joke among ''[[ScryedS-Cry-ed]]'' fans that Kazuma and Ryuho really do pound on each other for this reason, since neither seems to have any way to express their respect for each other.

* ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'' gives us some nice moments between Yuji and Hecate, especially when he was [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|filling her with his existence]]. It doesn't help in Season 2 that Yuji becomes close to {{spoiler|a fragment of her existence posing as a human}}, and that {{spoiler|said fragment has an obvious crush on him}}.

* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"|Tao Ren/Tao Lian/Tao Len]] of ''[[Shaman King]]'' spends the first arc of the series obsessing over the protagonist Asakura Yoh and Yoh's spirit partner Amidamaru, furious that he [[Can't Catch Up]] with them. Yoh spends this same arc greeting Ren cheerfully whenever they cross paths. When Ren finally calms down a bit and becomes Yoh's [[The Lancer|Lancer]], they arguably act more like an old married couple than Yoh and his arranged fiance.

* ''[[Shitsurakuen (Manga)|Shitsurakuen]]'': Reiko is [[Happiness in Slavery|quite happy]] to be attached to the males of the academy, and hates everything Sora stands for...and Sora can only think of [[What Beautiful Eyes!|what beautiful, strong eyes]] she has.

** Filia and Xellos -- heXellos—he teased her and she tried to punch or blast him all the time, and there's enough of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]] to make AMVs about it only mildly overlapping. She ''was'' visibly surprised at the [[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil|Mazoku]]'s protective gestures, though.

** Giriko comes off as an [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|obsessive]] [[Yandere|sexual predator]] in [http://www.mangareader.net/157-54969-8/soul-eater/chapter-75.html his fight against Maka]... and considering [[Ax Crazy|who he is]] and [[Hot Witch|who]] and [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|what he was fighting for]], that's probably true.

* Ayeka and Ryoko from ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'' Depending on which [[Alternate Continuity]] you choose, they are old childhood acquaintances or mortal enemies, but they always fight -- andfight—and not just over Tenchi's affections. In at least one alternate world glimpsed during an [[Alternate Universe]] episode of the television series, though, they are clearly in a relationship with each other. Though [[Love Potion|outside forces]] were involved.

* ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'': Kisshu and Ichigo.

* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Umineko no Naku Koro Nini]]'': [[Mind Game Ship|Beatrice and Battler]]. This troper swears to God, in the anime at least, nearly all their interaction comes off as that of an off-kilter married couple who thinks that vicious arguments are the best kind of foreplay.

* From ''[[Witchblade (Animeanime)|Witchblade]]'', Reiji Takayama and Wadou. Much more true on Wadou's end, but both men have worked their asses off outsmarting each other (Takayama winning almost all of the time), and Wadou looks like he's in the throes of orgasm when he finally appears to have pwned Takayama royally at one point. It later comes back to haunt him in a totally humiliating fashion, but it WAS [[Foe Yay]] incarnate while it lasted.

* In the [[Seinen]] manga ''[[Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest]]'', there's the [[Big Bad]] Haguro Dou, who is the young son of a powerful [[Yakuza]] boss, and who becomes completely and crazily obsessed with protagonist (and werewolf) Inugami. He initially doesn't care about or even think twice about Inugami... until he [[Bullying a Dragon|pushes Inugami too far]]. Which results in Inugami showing him his true form and scaring the shit out of Haguro. Haguro goes insane from it, and [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|obsesses and stalks Inugami]] after that, even cutting himself all over his arm and carving the word "Inu" onto his hand. And yes, it's creepy to the point of being something of a sexual obsession as well - Haguro has been shown after that to, while having sex with his ([[Ax Crazy|equally crazy]]) girlfriend Ryuuko (who, by the way, also lusts after Inugami and thinks about him while having sex with Haguro), think ''only'' about Inugami, and pretty much screams his name while imagining him. Later, Haguro even ends up {{spoiler|raping his male subordinate to death, while again thinking of Inugami}}. And after Inugami decides he's had enough of this shit and tries to move away, Haguro, being the stalker he is, tries desperately to do stuff to piss Inugami off so that he'll come back.

* The blood-licking also appears in ''[[X 1999]]'' between Fuuma and Kamui. Of course, it's [[CLAMP (Creator)|CLAMP]]...

* And if you apply Rival Yay, you've gotta believe there's something going on between Yugi and Kaiba in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''... As the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|abridged series]] put it:

{{quote| '''Goon''': But do we really have to watch him taking a shower every day? Seems a little unnecessary.<br />

{{quote| Looks like we really are connected by the thread of destiny. Try to cut it, but it cannot be broken... A thread that entangles us.}}

** ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', on the other hand, [[Stalker Withwith a Crush|doesn't leave any room for]] [[Subtext]] when it comes to obsessive enemies... and [[Squick|in doing so]] reminds you ''why'' keeping [[Foe Yay]] between the lines is the better way to go.

{{quote| '''Joey''': I hate you, Kaiba.<br />

'''Kaiba''': And I despise you, Wheeler.<br />

** For all that it makes fun of [[Yaoi Fangirls]], there's Joey/Kaiba foe yay in [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]] as well. ("Oh, Kaiba, your dragon is ''so big''...!") And that's not even ''mentioning'' Marik and Bakura, who are the page quote for Foe Yay/Anime right now and are only really subtextual to the extent that Marik keeps holding onto the last remaining shards of his [[Transparent Closet]].

{{quote| '''Marik''': Bakura! [[That Came Out Wrong|Would you like to cyber with me?]]<br />

** Are you kidding? [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5 Ds5D's|Add up the third spinoff]] and you have the [[The Verse|Yugiverse's]] one true golden rule. [[Foe Yay]] is mandatory.

* ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho (Manga)|Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' is ''slathered'' in [[Foe Yay]], most of it being between Yusuke and the [[Big Bad]] he has to fight for that arc. {{spoiler|Both Genkai (in Japanese) and Itsuki [[Dub Text|(in the US dub)]], being the canonical love interests (former in Genkai's case), [[Lampshade Hanging|make wry commentary]] about the [[Subtext]] Yusuke has with Younger Toguro and Sensui, respectively.}} Also of note is the Karasu/Kurama fight. Whooboy. "I love you; therefore I will kill you"? Yeah, quality [[Foe Yay]] right there.

** I think we can safely declare Minamoto/Kyosuke [https://web.archive.org/web/20090618110109/http://www.mangafox.com/manga/zettai_karen_children/v17/c168/14.html canon].

*** Also wonderfully lampshaded by [[Yaoi Fangirl|Patty]] in this [https://web.archive.org/web/20171229011157/http://www.onemanga.com/Zettai_Karen_Children/156/15/ Comic].
