== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Mirai Nikki]]'', it's shown very clearly that Gasai Yuno would be all too willing to kill ANYONE who got in the way of her "love" with Yukiteru (including his mother and father).
* {{spoiler|Even if the hypotenuse is [[My Future Self and Me|herself.]]}}
** Why sugarcoat it? Yuno is even willing to kill his friends, because he doesn't need other friends when he has Yuno!
** A less lethal version of this seems to be executed by Akise Aru, who has a [[Ho Yay|crush]] on Yukiteru. He {{spoiler|goes through the trouble of researching everything about Yuno's background to try to dig up dirt on her, and exposes it to Yukiteru, telling Yukiteru to "get away from her."}}
*** Chapter 50 seems to have confirmed this. {{spoiler|When Yuno shows up, Akise glares at her, declares "I won't hand over Yukiteru to you!", and forcefully kisses Yukiteru. This sends Yuno into a rage and she comes at Akise with a knife. Akise tries to kill Yuno, because he believes she's trying to kill Yukiteru, and destroy her diary but ends up failing, because it turns out Yuno had two diaries, and she ends up stabbing him}}. In the following chapter {{spoiler|despite having just been stabbed by Yuno and sliced across the throat, Akise gets back up out of sheer determination (and love for Yukiteru) and texts an important message to Yukiteru even though Yuno ends up cutting off his head completely}}.
Line 51:
* And in [[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ]] there's Beecha, who {{spoiler|plotted with Mondo to have Judau killed by unknowingly using real bombs that the two lied were fake.}} This is due to Beecha's jealousy over Elle swooning over Judau and the feeling that he needed Judau out of the picture to make himself look like a better match for Elle. {{spoiler|Fortunately, it fails.}}
* Subverted in ''[[Hell Teacher Nube]]''. {{spoiler|Yukime was killed by her father's ruthless henchman because she actually ''refused'' to kill her love rival, Ritsuko.}}
* In ''[[
* [[Psycho Lesbian]] Tomoe from ''[[Mai-Otome]]'' wants Shizuru, and is perfectly willing to harm or kill anyone whom she perceives as a threat to her ultimate goal. This leads her to do nasty things to Arika, whose [[Fan Girl]] crush is seen as stealing away from any attention that might otherwise have gone to Tomoe. On top of that, Arika isn't even a real contender in this [[Love Triangle]] - that honor goes to Natsuki, Shizuru's [[Bodyguard Crush|boss]].
* Played with in ''[[Speed Grapher]]''. {{spoiler|[[Dark Action Girl]] Ginza is desperately in love with her friend Saiga, admits to be ''really'' jealous of his protegée Kagura (and once returns her to her mother, the one Saiga is trying to free her from) and ''does'' admit out loud that she'd love to kill her... but in the end, she decides to protect Kasgura with her life, since Saiga made her promise that she'd protect Kagura.}}
Line 103:
* Liang Qi of ''[[Canaan]]'' appears calm and even-tempered, but is in fact unwavering, merciless, and very much obsessed with admiring and idolizing Alphard to the point of being in love with her. To her frustration, however, Alphard does not reciprocate her feelings and instead ignores or even proceeds to ridicule her from time to time. Because Alphard seems to have taken a special interest in observing Canaan's reactions to every plot carried out by Snake, Liang Qi sees the elimination of Canaan as a way to win back Alphard's attention.
* In ''[[Xam'd: Lost Memories]],'' Furuichi {{spoiler|(in his Xam'd form)}} tries to murder Akiyuki in order to have Haru to himself. {{spoiler|He fails}}, and the [[Wham! Episode|episode]] ends with {{spoiler|Akiyuki getting [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] after getting confronted by Commander Kakisu, Haru arrested for her relations to the Xam'd incident, and Furuichi beheading myself after finding no reason to live.}}
* In episode 11 of ''[[Goshuushou
* ''[[SHUFFLE!]]'': [[Yandere|Kaede]] snaps in episode 19 upon seeing Rin bring home Asa, whom he's dating. She screams at Asa to get out, and viciously attacks her. However, Rin restrains her and she struggles against his hold, screaming at Asa to "DIE!" Primula also discovers Kaede had crossed out Asa's face in some pictures of Rin and Asa together. {{spoiler|She gets better, though.}}
* ''[[Elfen Lied]]'': Lucy tries to suppress her instinctive desire to kill all humans so she can live happily with Kouta, until she finds out he lied about the sex of the cousin he was going to a festival with and she saw them hugging, at which point she stops trying to be nice. She then proceeds to slaughter some people at the festival and kills Kouta's father and sister, and starts to go after Kouta's cousin Yuka, voicing her intent to kill her... but only stops once Kohta tackles her and she sees his tear-streaked face. She also isn't above acts of jealousy, once using her vectors to shove Yuka down when she saw her holding hands with him. Yes, she's VERY broken, but how broken she is is absolutely NOT an excuse for her killing or trying to kill innocent people just because Kouta pays more attention to them.
Line 128:
* ''[[Reimei no Arcana]]'': Loki has quite a few elements of [[Yandere]], from threatening Caesar for insulting Nakaba and regretting that he didn't kill Caesar due to Nakaba's and Caesar's growing closeness in earlier chapters to killing Bella for threatening to have Nakaba either killed or raped by soldiers.
* Nova in ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' wants Hikaru all to herself and won't hesitate to kill her friends in order to eliminate all competition.
* ''[[Berserk]]'' gives us a non-[[Love Triangle]] scenario between Guts, his [[Go Mad
** Also, [[Dark Magical Girl]] Rosine. Platonic or not, she has a very strong obsession with having her [[Morality Pet]] Jill stay with her after being separated for so long. Which she demonstrates by telling Guts that Jill is "hers" after realizing that Jill has somewhat of a crush on him. While attempting to kill him.
* Misa Amane from ''[[Death Note]]'' once told Light "If I see you with another girl, I'll kill her!"
Line 323:
== Video Games ==
* 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
* 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 [[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.
