Love Makes You Dumb: Difference between revisions

* Dr. Tofu from ''[[Ranma ½]]'' is arguable, since one of his traits from the start was the inability to function properly around Kasumi. Swiftly becomes a moot point, once he's [[Put on a Bus|replaced]] as the show's source of arcane knowledge by Cologne.

** Ryoga Hibiki does some pretty dumb things because of love as well. His unrequited desire for Akane's heart is his biggest emotional target, and he tends to go crazy when he thinks there's some sign she truly does love him back. At one point, he even considered staying in the [[Kimodameshi|Cursed Tunnel of Lost Love]] because Akane was frightened by the ghosts and kept clinging to him for protection and comfort -- he figured that if he and Akane stayed there forever, she would always be turning to him for comfort. He gave it up mainly because the others caught him before he could run off with Akane and get lost in the tunnel.

* This is pretty much the entire plot of ''[[School Rumble]]''. And neither Kenji nor Tenma was particularly bright to start with, leading the series down some truly bizarre roads.

* Esmeraude (Emerald) in ''[[Sailor Moon]] R''. She was so in love with Diamond that she hastily accepted Wiseman's tiara to become more powerful than Sailor Moon and thus, winning Diamond's heart. Unfortunately, her plan falls apart when the tiara transforms her into a dragon rather than a Queen. The senshi (with the help of Tuxedo Mask) defeat the dragon and Esmeraude is momentarily restored to her human form - only to fall into a dark abyss. She whispers Diamond's name as she vanishes. To Esmeraude's credit, the rest of her peers including Diamond also made the colossal mistake of trusting Wiseman.
