Line 35:
* Legato Bluesummers from ''[[Trigun]]'' falls in love with Knives' violence and destruction, seeing him as a kind of [[The Antichrist|messiah]].
** And, manga Legato also has Knives to look to for {{spoiler|killing every single one of the people who had participated or been complicit in what appears to have been his repeated rape, leaving only little Legato alive. Of course, he didn't give a damn about the kid, but there's [[Freudian Excuse|a reason for hero worship and sociopathology]]}}.
** Another subversion in some of the Gung-Ho Guns [[Foe Yay]] with Vash -- evenVash—even though a Pacifist, they try to provoke him into the violence they're sure he's capable of, partly because of his bounty reputation and because they know about his relationship to Knives. Knives himself does this to get a reproduction of the destruction of July.
* Diethard Ried from ''[[Code Geass]]'' is fascinated with [[Magnificent Bastard|Magnificent Bastards]]s: he joins Black Knights after Lelouch purportedly blows up the leadership of fellow/rival resistance group to take control over the latter and {{spoiler|later defects to Schneizel, believing that he is even crueler than Lulu. He is wrong and it doesn't end well for him}}.
* [[Depraved Bisexual|Muraki]] from ''[[Yami no Matsuei]]'' has been shown to exhibit this somewhat. When Tsuzuki summons Suzaku and destroys everything, Muraki is shown to be very ecstatic (complete with the "Magnificent! Now I want you even more!" line).
* Not a case of a berserker hero, but [[Ace Pilot|Graham Aker]] from ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam 00]]'' becomes obsessed with the Exia Gundam and later its successor the 00 Gundam. He tends to ignore the other three (for each generation, no less) although all are equally worthy opponents.
Line 44:
* Alucard from ''[[Hellsing]]'' has this with Integra, though it's as much her resolve as her potential for violence. Still, he goads her onward, and throws sexual references left and right when she finally orders the death of humans. Ironically, he is the [[Anti-Hero]] of the series.
** He also implies that ''she'' has this with ''him''. She just tells him it's none of his business.
* In ''[[Tenchi Muyo! GXP|Tenchi Muyo GXP]]'', [[Knight of Cerebus]] Tarant Shank is awestruck by the sight of [[Yamato Nadeshiko]] Kiriko covered in the blood of her enemies after she's forced to [[Beware the Nice Ones|get dangerous]]. He continues to be interested in her when he reappears -- forreappears—for the little screentime he's left after the [[Villain Decay]] he goes through.
* Mukuro from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'', in regards to Tsuna. For example, in chapter 385 he's shown looking quite pleased when he sees Tsuna defeat a foe and remarks that "He's gotten even stronger."
** Only when Tsuna goes into dying will mode and defeats Gokudera that Gokudera drops his accusations of Tsuna being a weak loser and takes to the idea of Tsuna being the tenth Vongola boss...and he becomes quite determined to be Tsuna's right hand man...
Line 68:
** [[Yakuza|Akabayashi]] fell in love with {{spoiler|Sayaka, Anri's mother,}} after she handed him his ass and [[Eye Scream|gouged his eye out with a katana]]
* Liang Qi of ''[[Canaan]]'' is like this for Alphard. She appears calm and even-tempered, but is in fact unwavering, merciless, and very much obsessed with admiring and idolizing the absolutely [[Badass]] Alphard to the point of being in love with her. To her frustration, however, Alphard does not reciprocate her rather twisted feelings and instead ignores or even proceeds to ridicule her from time to time. Because Alphard seems to have taken a special interest in observing Canaan's reactions to every plot carried out by Snake, Liang Qi sees the [[Murder the Hypotenuse|elimination of Canaan]] as a way to win back Alphard's attention.
* Graham from ''[[Baccano!]]'' had a bit of an [[In Love with Your Carnage]] moment when fighting Chane.
** Even more so when fighting Ladd Russo.
** Lua seems positively ecstatic when Ladd is giving his speech about murdering the other train passengers in the third episode. Not that Ladd is a paragon of virtue by any means, but Baccano! is [[Black and Gray Morality|that kind of series.]]
Line 212:

* Hybristophilia -- attractionHybristophilia—attraction to people who commit serious or gruesome crimes.
