== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* A Sailor-suited Pretty Soldier of Love and Justice: ''[[Sailor Moon]]''! - her attacks are the only ones that purify their opponents. Also Moon Spiral Heart Attack (the page image) and Rainbow Moon Heart Ache slam her opponents with a giant heart that shatters on impact.
** Soldier of Love and Beauty, Sailor Venus! - The Love Me Chain and Love and Beauty Shock are made of [[Heart Symbol]]s. She also uses Rolling Heart Vibration in the manga and [[Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon|live action series]].
Line 30:
* [[Naruto]]: Fuka, from one of the filler arcs, [[Kissing Under the Influence|seduces opponents]] and uses the [[Kiss of Death]] to [[Mega Manning|steal their powers.]] Also blows magical kisses in the opening sequence.
* There are two characters in [[One Piece]] who have love-based attacks, though in different ways. Boa Hancock can cause people to fall madly in love with her (male and female, and sometimes even inanimate objects), after which she can turn them to stone. Emporio Ivankov is a not-so-[[Wholesome Crossdresser]] whose attacks include throwing winks, which have oddly immense destructive power.
* Those who have seen [[Macademi Wasshoi]] are familiar with the thing known only as [http://img1.lln.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/40cecbb3ea35f471723a0aceece292101234345269_full.jpg Halpshiel]{{Dead link}}. An Angel of love and former teacher, he was exiled for forcibly French-kissing the entire student body and faculty. Among other grievances.
* In ''[[Yes! Pretty Cure 5]]'', Cure Dream has heart as her element.
** In ''[[Heartcatch Pretty Cure]]'', all {{spoiler|five}} shown heroic Cures have this as a secondary element, due to [[Soul Anatomy|the way]] [[Our Monsters Are Different|their monsters of the week]] work.
* So does Mew Ichigo in ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]''.
* The Love Angels in ''[[Wedding Peach]]'' do this.
* Pretty much every attack thrown by a Papillon in ''[[Papillon Rose]]'' is powered by sex or lust.

== [[Western Animation]] ==
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'': Princess Cadence' magical ability is bringing love to others and mending broken relationships. In the second episode of the season two finale, {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Queen Chrysalis]] is taken out by her and [[Knight in Shining Armor|Shining Armor]] with a massive explosion of pure love that reforms the [[Deflector Shields]] and ejects her and her Changeling subjects out of Canterlot [[Twinkle in The Sky|and over the horizon]]}}.
