Love Martyr: Difference between revisions

* ''[[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.

* 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.
