** In the second season, [[Ax Crazy|Alois]] [[Depraved Homosexual|Trancy]] appears to be one of these [[Ho Yay|for Claude]]. For example, the reason he stabbed out Hannah's eye was because he possibly wanted to impress Claude. {{spoiler|It backfires ''horribly'' when Claude kills him.}}
* Negishi/Krauser from ''[[Detroit Metal City]]''. Usually rather meek and virginal, he tends to exhibit insane, violent thoughts and/or behavior, often prompting a transition into his Krauser persona, when he feels that his one-sided love for Aikawa is being threatened, while shifting back into a more 'dere dere' version when things are going well between them.
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''
* In as much as a draconic hermaphrodite Duel Monster can be a [[Yandere]], Yubel from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' fits this trope to a tee. S/he tortures and "kills" all of Judai's friends, possesses the object of his [[Ho Yay]]-implied interests, tries to cause [[The End of the World as We Know It]], and does his/her very best to make Judai suffer as much as possible. Why? Because in a past life, Judai pledged to love only him/her, s/he's jealous that he's forgotten him/her in favor of his other friends, and an unfortunate trip through space has severely screwed up his/her concept of love and pain, leaving him/her unable to distinguish the two and having him/her believe that only through suffering can you truly feel love. S/he gets better, tho.
** Vivian from the KC Grand Prix of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|the original anime]] was at a risk of becoming one, having rather... [[Sex Slave| unhealthy fantasies]] about Yugi and Kaiba. Losing a duel to Yugi seemed to set her straight.

** Averted ''twice'' in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL:
*** Yuma's first apparent stalker was Cathy. As it turned out, she was more-or-less harmless.
*** Anna Kozuki, on the other hand, could well have become a real Yandere. She was very willing to murder Yuma to prove that she loved him, but was willing to duel him on the condition that he would become hers (literally) if he lost. {{spoiler|As it turned out, however, she had the wrong person. Eventually, it seemed she did develop a crush on Yuma of sorts, but one of a far more lucid nature.}}
* ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' gives us Kish, who goes from being a [[Mad Love|nuisance]] to a major threat to Ichigo, as his behavior and mentality grow increasingly unstable as he continues his pursuit of her. At various times throughout the series, he flat-out threatens and attempts to kill Ichigo's boyfriend Masaya and even Ichigo herself should she fail to agree to his wish of "becoming his".
* Nova from ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]''. She ''[[Enemy Without|is]]'' Hikaru, ''[[Psycho Lesbian|loves]]'' Hikaru, wants to ''[[Beta Baddie|be]]'' Hikaru, and hates everything Hikaru loves because it keeps Hikaru from loving her and only her. "Be your own person" doesn't even begin to apply here.
