Minion Shipping: Difference between revisions

* In [[MAR]], Gido and Ian. Partly subverted in that Gido isn't killed, [[Body Horror|mutated horribly]]. Ian then becomes one of the top rank enemies out of anger, and eventually pulls a [[Heel Face Turn]] when Ginta convinces him that he's not the enemy. Ian eventually finds the real enemy and manages to break the curse. They're shown living together later.

* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'''s Lust and Gluttony could be considered a platonic version of [[Minion Shipping]]. Though their relationship is far more maternal than romantic, it serves the humanizing function of this trope in much the same way as any other ship. {{spoiler|When Lust dies in both anime and the manga, Glutony is reduced to a sobbing, inconsolable child. In ''Brotherhood'' and the manga, Gluttony even displayes the revenge aspect of this trope, going into a frenzy when he discovered he is in proximity to the man who killed Lust (Col. Roy Mustang).}}

 

 

* In ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World|Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of a New World]]'' we have DecusXAlice. While a bit onesided on Decus' part for most of the game, {{spoiler|Alice finally returns his feelings after he dies shielding her from a fatal blow. After announcing that she loves him too, [[Tear Jerker|she dies trying to avenge him]]}}.

* In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', this trope gets toyed with a bit as the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Turks]] (or at least Reno and Rude) like to gossip about which characters have crushes on others (among themselves and the player's party) and Elena and Tseng end up romantically involved to some degree. Elena is quite pissed off at the party when she runs into them on the Northern Continent, believing that they were responsible for attacking Tseng in the Temple of the Ancients.
