The Dulcinea Effect: Difference between revisions

*** yes, but Nanoha didn't knew that Yuuno was even ''human'' until he return to his original form. You can say she help him because she believed he could die if he fought alone.

** Touma goes through quite a bit of trouble to help out Lily in ''[[Nanoha Force|Force]]'', breaking into a lab and almost getting incinerated, becoming a fugitive from the TSAB, getting sought after by the Huckebein, and {{spoiler|slowly losing control of himself}}, and gets involved merely as a result of hearing her calling for help.

** Jacuzzi is shown to be like this towards ''[[Martyr Without a Cause|everyone]].'' He was, at one point, more concerned about the safety of some Russo mafia mooks than he was over the fact that said mooks were about to ''kill him''. A truer example would be Claire Stanfield, a man who insists on devoting himself completely and utterly to the first cute girl he finds that doesn't say no. Considering he's the series' resident [[Ax Crazy]] [[Crazy Awesome]] [[Sociopathic Hero]], {{spoiler|Chane}} now has either the most [[Badass|awesome]] or the most terrifying boyfriend in existence.

*** Considering {{spoiler|Chane}}'s a bit of a [[Knife Nut]] herself, I'd say firmly on the [[Badass|AWESOME]] side.

* [[Hayate the Combat Butler|Hayate Ayasaki's]] big brother, Ikusa, is a guy who'd always help anybody in need... unless it's [[Abusive Parents|his parents]], it seems (that said, he'll help out his little brother on those occasions he's around). He's kind of a powered up version of Hayate - [[Stronger Sibling|he just can]].

* The eponymous character of ''[[Rune Soldier Louie]]'' is very susceptible to this, and Celessia is exploiting it shamelessly all the time, very much to the annoyance of his female teammates. But he's not [[The Ditz|very bright to begin with]].

** [[Chivalrous Pervert|Chikage]] takes this trope to its logical extreme by being willing to risk his life for quite literally any girl ever.

** Mikado also saves Mika from Celty, no questions asked--until later.

* The last season of ''[[24|Twenty Four]]'' has this in spades when {{spoiler|Jack goes crazy and decides to throw away his moral principles, his life and by extension the safety of his daughter's family to avenge Renee's murder. He had known Renee for a very brief period of time and spent less than forty hours with her in total.}}

** So a year and a half is not long enough? Especially by 24 standards. Not including all the time he TRIED to contact her, we don't really know exactly contact they had immediately following season 7.

* Fred from ''[[Molten Blade]]'' seems perfectly willing to drop everything and break into a government facility on behalf of a girl whom he'd known for less than a day, on the word of Chris, another person who was a total stranger to him twenty-four hours earlier.

* Gender-reversed in ''[[The Order of the Stick]]''. Therkla is a ninja assassin who was ordered to kill Hinjo and his guards, yet when she encounters Elan (on whom she quickly gained a massive crush), she ends up helping him slay some sea trolls that had attacked the fleet. She would end up helping him several more times, {{spoiler|the last of which would result in her death at the hands of her master}}.

* In ''[[Looking for Group]]'', Cale is revived by a priestess (Benny) after being incinerated by Richard the warlock and almost immediately devotes his life to her. He was actually pretty inclined to risk his life for her before being revived (she was being ganged up upon by some thugs and Richard and Cale's ashes (dont know how Cale could see) watched as she fought them off). This ultimately leads to the forming of the group, though we dont see much of Cale's devotion after that unless you count teamwork.

** In recent developments though {{spoiler|the two have become a couple of sorts}}
