Line 189:
** Interestingly,
{{quote|'''Amy''': If I had to choose between the world and Sonic, ''I would choose Sonic!''}}
* In ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'', Sora
** This persists in ''Chain of Memories'', where Sora tells Namine to shatter his heart and memories if it will mean saving her from harm at the hands of Marluxia, and that he'll still protect her even without his memories. Marluxia is amused at the naivete of this strategy, saying that Sora will be ''comatose'' if he loses his memories and unable to do anything. Of course, then something happens that challenges this claim, so it's unknown exactly ''what'' would have happened had Sora followed through with his initial plan.
* ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'' outright averts this when offered a sadistic choice by the villain to save Trish or a building full of doctors saving the girl is the evil choice to make and sacrificing her for the good of the many is the good one.
Line 267:
* The Greek city state of Thebes [[Invoked Trope|invoked]] this trope as official military doctrine everyone in the army was in a relationship with the other members and were supposed to be incredibly protective of their lovers.
** More specificly, that was the Sacred Band of Thebes. They were 300 strong, pairs of homosexual lovers selected out of the army. They (with light cavalry support) defeated 1500 Spartans at Leucratea. Their final battle was epic. When the theban army faced a much bigger force, the thebans ran for it, except the Sacred Band. They made their last stand on a small hill, surrounded at attacked from all sides. The unit was never remade.
* Many parents will go above and beyond to protect their child(ren), regardless of gender - see [[Papa Wolf]] and [[Mama Bear]] for details. However, many parents are more likely to worry about a daughter than they are a son, as seen when a girl's significant other gets the [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...]] speech.
* Spoofed in a comedy routine (cannot remember the comedian's name). He said his girlfriend asked if he would fight to protect her. His answer was "No. I wouldn't even fight to protect myself. But we can hold hands while we run away if you think that will be romantic."
