Line 146: ** After the rape Haguro also tries to kill Aoshika while telling her that Inugami is too good for her. Fortunately, Inugami [[Big Damn Heroes\|shows up in time]]. * Honne-Onna of ''[[Hell Girl]]'' has [[Even the Girls Want Her\|diehard fangirls]]. One was ready to send someone to hell because she thought he was dating her. {{spoiler\|And another ''actually sent'' the other girl to hell because she thought she got too close to Onna.}} * ''[[Rosario ~~Plus~~+ Vampire]]'': In chapter 52 of manga season II Akuha is revealed to be a [[Yandere]] [[Les Yay\|for Moka]]. She attacks Kurumu and Mizore saying that she will kill anyone who tries to take Moka from her. * Hiromasa of ''[[Love Pistols]]'' considers doing this in regards to anyone who expresses interest in Shima. Line 213: * The [[Sherlock Holmes]] story ''The Crooked Man'' features a military officer who betrays an underling to the enemy so he can steal his girl. Unlike the David and Bathsheba legend (which the story references), the underling survives (despite [[Cold-Blooded Torture]] from the enemy). His condition is such that he avoids his old love out of [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!\|fear of pitying]] him, but he comes back eventually, his love recognizes him, and the false husband dies of stroke on learning of it. * Possibly subverted at the end of [[Charles Dickens]]' ''[[A Tale of Two Cities]]'' when Carton {{spoiler\|removes himself from the love triangle with Lucie by taking Darnay's place under the guillotine.}} * Touched on in ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Deathly Hallows (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]''. Severus Snape is perfectly fine with {{spoiler\|Voldemort murdering both James and Harry Potter (the latter of whom is ''barely a year old at the time'') if it leaves the field clear for him to [[Comforting the Widow\|comfort the grieving widow]] Lily Evans-Potter, to whom he's the [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]]. A very disgusted Dumbledore [[What the Hell, Hero?\|calls him on it]]. (Oh, and it doesn't work anyway: Lily goes [[Mama Bear]] and chooses to kick it rather than abandoning her baby to Voldemort.)}} ** {{spoiler\|[[Idiot Ball\|Because a mother protecting her child is just preposterous.]]}} * The major subplot of the novel ''[[Lois McMaster Bujold\|A Civil Campaign]]'' featured Miles Vorkosigan [[Malicious Slander\|being accused]] of doing exactly this during the events of the previous book ''[[Vorkosigan Saga\|Komarr]]'' (in order to free up the woman he was now attempting to court) by political opponents. The truth being part of an ultra-classified incident that couldn't even be revealed to some of the highest levels of government (if the bereaved hadn't been a direct witness, ''she'' wouldn't even have known), so things got rather... complicated. Line 324: * Actually one<ref>or perhaps "several" would be a better word than one, considering how you can kill the hypotenuse in different ways.</ref> of multiple ways to get rid of rivals in ''[[Yandere Simulator]]''. * A variation in ''[[Super Robot Wars]] W'': Aria wants to kill Kazuma over his ''sisters''. Makes a bit more sense when you learn that Aria is {{spoiler\|sort of an [[Opposite Gender Clone]] of Kazuma, loving his sisters as if they were her own and hating him for having "her" place in the family.}} * One of the possible endings of a sidequest in ''[[Jade Empire]]'', best described as "childhood promise gone wrong". Once you gather the poor man, the mobster woman he "promised" to marry (at all of about eight), and his fiancee, you could convince the mob boss to call off her pursuit... or, convince her to kill the fiancee. Which she does. At which point, the man rightfully objects - so she kills him. Finally, having [[My God, What Have I Done?\|realized she didn't mean it]], she tries to kill ''you''. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero\|Good job]], [[Kick the Dog\|jerk]]. * In ''[[Baldur's Gate\|Baldur's Gate II]]'', NPC Aerie can be romanced by both the player character and fellow NPC Haer'Dalis. If she chooses you, he'll back down, but if her romances with both proceed at about the same pace, he tries to settle things in this manner. ** It can also happen if you keep Viconia, Jaheira, and Aerie in the party at the same time and don't break off the romance with any of them. Line 409: {{reflist}} [[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Romance Arc]] [[Category:Love Tropes]] Line 414 ⟶ 415: [[Category:Envy and Jealousy Tropes]] [[Category:Older Than Feudalism]] ▲[[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Love Is a Crapshoot]]
