Line 7:
|''[[Saints Row the Third]]''}}
If a show features two [[TV Genius|highly intelligent characters]] of similar age and compatible sexual orientation (though they can be either homosexual or heterosexual), chances are they'll end up together. Works particularly well if they're [[Teen Genius]]es. An in-universe invocation of the [[Geeky Turn On]].
It's common for such relationships to start cleanly and quickly, avoiding [[Will They or Won't They?]] altogether, and proceed somewhat more smoothly than whatever other characters may be in a relationship, thus often turning them into a [[Beta Couple]]. Apparently, love ''doesn't'' [[Love Makes You Dumb|make you dumb]] if you're a [[The Smart Guy|genius]].
Line 72:
** Hanako Ikezawa: She seems able to keep up with the class despite her bad attendance record, although Mutou suggests she isn't a "star student," and she and Hisao find a shared interest in their mutual love of reading.
** Shizune Hakamichi: One of the criteria for being named a [[Class Representative]] in a Japanese highschool is to have the highest test scores from the year before, and there's the fact that she and Misha are usually the first people in 3-3 to finish Mutou's assignments.
* ''[[Mulan]]:'' While Shang initially assumes that Mulan is crazy, he realizes that her plan to cause an avalanche to kill the Huns was actually crazy enough to work. His training and orders to his troops are very helpful though, and he was not wrong to tell his soldiers that they would not die alone if they fell on the battlefield, since they would be dying with honor. And he only let Mulan out of her conscription notice and told her to leave (at the time, he assumed she was a boy) because he was worried for her safety (even if he was a bit of a jerk about it).
