Official Couple: Difference between revisions

** Similarly to Touya and Yukito, Gingetsu and Ran in ''[[Clover]]'', though they are slightly more canon as Ran is referred to several times as 'Gingetsu's partner', and [[Word of God]] states that they were written as an old married couple.

*** Eriol/Kaho is official too, though they never showed up in Tsubasa. There's always a chance they might later show up as a couple in ''xxxHolic'' though.

** Official [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]] unrequited love is Tomoyo for Sakura. While most pronounced in ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'', it seems that every Tomoyo in TRC has an immediate attraction to Sakura...

* Chi and Hideki in ''[[Chobits]]''.

** In the first drafts of the series Hiei and Kurama were supposed to be in a romantic relationship but [[Word of God|Yoshihiro Togashi]] decided to leave them as close friends which would explain all the [[Ho Yay]] between them.

* Rosette and Chrono and {{spoiler|Joshua and Azmaria}} in the epilogue of the manga version of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]''.

* Shido and Madoka in ''[[GetBackers]]''. Despite being the impetus of one side story and one major [[Story Arc]], there isn't much to say about it beyond "it's cute," and "it works." Later in the manga, {{spoiler|Hevn and Masaki.}}

* Chrono and Amy of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''. Despite what the [[Shipping|shippers]] want to believe, everyone else is still officially listed under "best friends" by the [[Word of God]].

** Jessie & James in the ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga.

* In ''[[Clannad]]'' (the [[Kyo Ani]] anime), Nagisa and Tomoya are an official couple ''from the start'': neither of them could imagine not being with the other one, and Tomoya doesn't even seem to notice that several other girls are in love with him. Heck, Tomoya was a part of Nagisa's life even before she met or knew who he was!

* By ''[[When They Cry]]'''s [[Mind Screw|standards]], a few of the couples from ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' look to be set in stone (unless it turns out someone's hiding something... [[Unreliable Narrator|again]]). Among those are: George/Shannon, Jessica/Kanon, Battler/{{spoiler|Beatrice}} (However, these three couples become very messy due to the fact that {{spoiler|all three cousins are in fact in love with the same person}}), and Bernkastel/Lambdadelta.

* In ''[[Durarara]]'', the only couples that are together are [[Yandere|Seiji]] and {{spoiler|[[Stalker with a Crush|Mika]]}}, {{spoiler|[[Stepford Smiler|Kida]] and [[Honey Trap|Saki]]}} and {{spoiler|[[Eyes Always Shut|Walker]] and [[Yaoi Fangirl|Erika]] in the light novels}}. {{spoiler|[[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Mikado]] and [[Broken Bird|Anri]]}} and {{spoiler|[[Headless Horseman|Celty]] and [[Back-Alley Doctor|Shinra]]}} were hinted at it at the end of the anime series if smiling at each other warmly and seducing count.

* Chapter 81 of the ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' manga confirms that the official couple is {{spoiler|Tamaki and Haruhi}}. The anime, on the other hand, left things wide open for any shipping to possibly happen, particularly since Haruhi had had several meaningful moments with the twins, Kyouya, and Tamaki.

* ''[[Future GPX Cyber Formula]]'' has Hayato and Asuka, along with [[Beta Couple|Beta Couples]] Shinjyo and Miki, Osamu and Clair and Shiba and Rena. The series ends with {{spoiler|Hayato and Asuka's wedding ceremony with most of the cast attending it.}}

* Sawako and Shouta from ''[[Kimi ni Todoke]]''.

* Taiga and Ryuji from ''[[Toradora!]]''. Kinda obvious from the series' name... ("Tora" = Tiger = Taiga, "Dora"gon = Dragon(Ryū) = Ryuji)

* Eric and Donna in ''[[That 70s Show]]''.

** Fez and Jackie suddenly become this in the final season, much to the disgust of both Hyde/Jackie and Kelso/Jackie shippers.

** Also, of course, patriarch and matriarch Tom and Alice Horton.

* While ''[[Passions]]'' had several official couples, the most prominent ones were Ethan & Theresa and Luis & Sheridan, although only the former ended up together with Luis ending up with Sheridan's niece Fancy, and Sheridan ending up with Luis' brother, Antonio, her first husband.

* ''[[Mass Effect]]'' does its best to avert this. However, the trailers always feature a male Shepard and pick a single woman to market as his love interest, for the most part. A traditional human choice is picked for both games: Ashley in the first (with the other option being a blue--albeit very [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|human-looking]]--alien) and Miranda in the second (opposed to the bald-and-crazy Jack or [[The Faceless]] alien Tali).

** However, other than the trailers, almost everyone, devs included, stay away from calling the human love interests 'official.' Good thing too, because the [[Interspecies Romance|majority of the fandom]] would rip them apart if they did.

** Also, {{spoiler|Raiden and Rose}} of the same game, and a good case can be made for the canon [[Heterosexual Life Partners]] {{spoiler|Snake and Otacon}}.

* Cecil and Rosa in ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''.

* Evangelyne and Sadlygrove of ''[[Wakfu]]''. {{spoiler|Sadlygrove has even [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|"seen Evangelyne naked"]], with all that that implies.}}

* ''[[Moral Orel]]'' has the titular character and Christina.

** This is a weird one. Helga we know loves Arnold from the beginning, but her personality is such that she can't express it by any way other than being horrible to him. She kisses him on an impulse in [[The Movie]], and a brief flash-forward to the future in one of the specials shows them to be married or at least engaged. The [[What Could Have Been|infamously-unproduced]] second movie would reportedly have clinched it lock, stock, and barrel.

* [[The Mighty Thor]] and Jane Foster in ''[[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes|Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes]]''. [[Ant-Man]] and [[The Wasp]] might also count, but Ant-Man doesn't explicity admit that he loves [[The Wasp]] until {{spoiler|episode 25}}.
