Love Dodecahedron: Difference between revisions

** Its sequel series, ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'', has one that revolves almost entirely around Athrun. There's Cagalli, Meer, Meyrin, and for a time Meyrin's older sister Luna... such is expected for the series' resident [[Expy|Char-clone]].

* ''[[Strawberry Panic!|Strawberry Panic]]''. To the extreme. Between almost everyone, but especially towards Nagisa—who is mostly [[Unwanted Harem|quite reluctant]] about it.

** It's also present in the manga. Not only do Mai and Shiho still love Yuuichi (who also loves Mai) and Mikoto still likes Mai, but Natsuki also likes Yuuichi, with Takeda still pursuing her and Shizuru having an implied interest in her.

* By the time ''[[Princess Tutu]]'' reaches the finale, it's had enough love triangles and other flings that the relationships get...complicated. Ahiru loves Mytho, Mytho (as his emotions are restored) appears to love Princess Tutu (who is Ahiru in disguise), Rue also loves Mytho, Professor Cat threatens all the girls with marriage but seems particularly sweet on Ahiru, Fakir {{spoiler|begins to love Ahiru in the second season}}, and she may love him back. Pique has a crush on Fakir, but in one episode thinks she loves Mytho. Fakir's childhood friend Raetsel loves his adoptive father Charon, but she also flirts with Fakir, and {{spoiler|almost gets married to Mytho}}, but {{spoiler|ends up married to some guy named Hans in the end}}. Autor confesses love to Rue, {{spoiler|but too late, because Mytho chooses Rue in the end}}. Throw in some [[Ho Yay]] with Fakir and Mytho, Rue and Ahiru, and Autor and Fakir and you've got what fans call the "OT5", or "only true fivesome". That is, almost any of the four main characters, plus Autor, could be matched with another with some logic to it. Although the poor side characters still get left out of that.

* ''[[Bleach]]'' fandom likes to believe that the show has elements of this, but in truth most of the "evidences" are subject to interpretation and fan wishes.

** To elaborate: Ichigo has somewhat of an [[Unwanted Harem]] that has developed over the course of over 400 chapters, consisting of his classmate Orihime, the Arrancar Nelliel, possibly the Soul Reaper Rukia, [[Ms. Fanservice|the shapeshifter Yuroichi, who would transform naked in front of him just to tease him]], and Xcution member Riruka. Rukia and Renji [[Childhood Friend Romance|were close before becoming Soul Reapers, and Renji is hinted to still have feelings for her, while Rukia never confirms or denies her feelings for Renji.]] Ishida acts like he might have a crush on Orihime, but he doesn't address the matter, and she likes him as a friend but only has eyes for Ichigo. And then there's Aizen-Hinamori-Hitsugaya-Matsumoto-Gin, and every leg of that except Hitsugaya-Matsumoto has a decent amount of support in canon. [[Die for Our Ship]] abounds, and the Zanpakuto filler arc doesn't help any, because while Hinamori and Matsumoto [[Lovely Angels|get along pretty well]], their Zanpakuto spirits Tobiume and Haineko don't -- [[Vitriolic Best Buds|in a sort-of way]].

* ''[[Seto no Hanayome]]''. Where should we start? Okay, * deep breath* .

** Nagasumi and Sun are engaged/dating, and are definitely in love with each other.

* In the ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' comics, <s>Speedy</s> <s>Arsenal</s> Red Arrow is into <s>Wondergirl</s> <s>Darkstar</s> Donna Troy, who got married to Terry Long. Meanwhile, Starfire was once involved with, and still has feelings for, <s>Robin</s> <s>Nightwing</s> the new Batman, who's engaged to Barbara Gordon. Red Arrow also had a crush on Raven, who had a crush on <s>Kid Flash</s> the Flash (who is now married to Linda, but had a relationship with three other women first), then one on Dick Grayson, and now one on Beast Boy (which she might be over now). Beast Boy had a crush on Terra, then on Starfire, and is now in love with Raven. Still not sure where <s>Aqualad</s> Tempest stands in all this. Cyborg is the only one that was smart enough to stay out of this crap, or he would have, if not for his [[Will They or Won't They?|ambiguous feelings for Sara Simms]].

** Oh, and let's not forget that Red Arrow has a daughter, whose mother is a [[Dating Catwoman|psychopathic supervillain]].

* In ''[[Quantum and Woody]]'', one develops between Quantum, Woody, Amy Fishbein, Tempest Sheridan, and Holly Williams. Just don't ask how the goat fits in...
