Line 80:
* ''[[Zetsuai 1989]]'': At one point Kouji ''cuts off his own left arm'' so that his family will leave Izumi alone. And it took Izumi quite a long time for him to warm up to Kouji.
* Ritsuka from ''[[Loveless]]'' is a platonic version of this toward his older brother Seimei - even the knowledge that Seimei was a {{spoiler|murderer who faked his own death}} as a twisted test of Ritsuka's love and who constantly abused Soubi cannot sway Ritsuka's devotion.
* ''[[ZeroThe noFamiliar Tsukaimaof Zero]]'': Sometimes Saito verges on this—on occasion Louise goes beyond mere [[Tsundere]]-type behavior into outright sociopathic sadism (such as the time she ''flogged him unconscious with an actual whip''), although this [[Alternative Character Interpretation|depends on your opinion,]] given that they're the [[Official Couple]].
* Rolo Haliburton is this for Lelouch Lamperouge in ''[[Code Geass]]'', no matter if his affection for Lelouch is romantic or brotherly. Although Rolo's no saint himself, he became so attached to his 'brother' that in episode 19 {{spoiler|he sacrificed his life to save Lelouch's. When Lelouch was betrayed and abandoned by everyone, Rolo was the only one who stayed with him, even after Lelouch admitted he was just using Rolo and had tried to kill him numerous times; he then saved Lelouch by overloading his Evil Eye to carry him to safety, fully aware that the strain from using it for so long with so much range would be too much for his heart to endure. As Rolo lays dying,}} he tells Lelouch that even if Lelouch was just using him and the time he spent with him was fake, to Rolo it was ''real'' and it meant something to him.
* ''[[Candy Candy]]'': Candy skirts the line sometimes, in regards to Terry.
* Arguably Doumeki in ''[[xxxHolic×××HOLiC]]'' for Watanuki. He's willing to make [[Heroic Sacrifices]] for Watanuki's sake, even though the latter makes it no secret that he's jealous of him (because he thinks his crush Himawari is in love with Doumeki) and is ''very'' much a [[Tsundere]] to him. And now, half an eye, a lot of blood, and {{spoiler|six plus years later}}, he's still devoted solely to Watanuki, who {{spoiler|is pretty much grounded ''forever'' inside Yuuko's shop, waiting for her to return}}.
* A rare sibling example is wonderfully demonstrated in the one-shot manga "[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/smargs_won_t_sing/c001/5.html Smargs Won't Sing]", which is [[Better Than It Sounds]].
** {{spoiler|It turns out to be a [[Jerkass Facade]] by the older sister in order to be [[Dying Alone|hated by everyone]] as her end of the [[Deal with the Devil|contract with the Smarg]] so that she [[Heroic Sacrifice|will be its only victim]]. The younger sister seems to be aware of it, as she gives up her voice to get another Smarg to protect her from it}}. It does take an extraordinary amount of love and patience to endure that behavior for three years, though, even considering the circumstances.
