Yandere/Video Games: Difference between revisions

*** Even Shiki isn't safe from being a Yandere -- at least, not {{spoiler|his Nanaya mode, which actually got off from murdering in the girl who would become the canon victor of their little [[Love Dodecahedron]]. It got so bad that, it's very possible that after slaughtering a whole bunch of Dead who were assaulting her, on the grounds that only he may violate her, he actually rapes her (if you choose). Arcueid rationalizes it as him being accidentally caught by her Mystic Eyes of Enchantment, but in reality it's actually a last minute dialing down from outright murder.}}

* Princess Sapphire Rhodonite from ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]]'' quickly takes a liking towards Almaz, Mao's <s>bitch</s> "test subject." Almaz doesn't mind much, seeing as he's always had a crush on her (and because [[Chew Toy|it's the only remotely good thing that happens to him]]), but let's just say she has [[Poisonous Friend|very interesting ways]] of trying to help him out of his predicament. Fortunately, Almaz himself is usually safe from her [[Violently Protective Girlfriend|violence-happy]] ideas. Usually.

** There's also Anise the cat witch.

* Oichi from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' ends up as a Yandere in her Story Mode, but not because her husband Nagamasa was cheating on someone. Because he was KILLED in cold blood. {{spoiler|Then, she slowly (and tragically) transforms from a meek woman into a dark monster (in other words: slowly possessed by her own dark powers), and ends up killing her husband's killer, her brother [[Oda Nobunaga]] ([[Card-Carrying Villain|a certified SOB]]) as well as [[Kill'Em All|all his subordinates]]. Then, after all those tragic trips and [[My God, What Have I Done?|realizing the atrocities she has caused]], [[Tear Jerker|she got killed as she cried in agony.]]}}

* [[Blaz Blue|Jin Kisaragi]] is another male example, and dangerously skirt with [[Cute and Psycho]]. Any moment he's mentioned about his brother Ragna the Bloodedge, he drops all his cool exterior and goes [[Ho Yay]] to the max 'Oh brother...~' and expresses his 'love' by trying to kill him. Then there's the final boss Nu-13, who is usually robotic with everyone else, but if she meets Ragna, she also becomes a crazed lovestruck and tried to have him and when Ragna refused, she [[If I Can't Have You|attempts to kill him]]. {{spoiler|Then you realize that Nu is based on Ragna's sister. [[Big Screwed-Up Family|God, it sucks to be Ragna!]]}}

** And when Nu and Jin meet, and Nu loses, well...

** And you think he's bad, wait until you see Jin's female [[Love Interest]] Tsubaki Yayoi. She's crazy about him, and not in a good way. {{spoiler|She attempts to [[Murder the Hypotenuse|kill Noel]] and even ''[[If I Can't Have You|Jin himself]]'' because she is led to believe that Noel stole away her chance to be with Jin. This case of [[Love Makes You Crazy]] eventually becomes a case of [[Love Makes You Evil]], prompting her [[Face Heel Turn]]. Also, in the ''Wheel Of Fortune'' story, when she sees Saya happily playing with a younger Jin, she goes batshit insane, screaming at her to get away from Jin. The thing is, she was presented as a fairly sane and level-headed person in ''Calamity Trigger''.}}

* Happens in ''[[Mitadake High]]''. Like one time where the Yandere turned out to be the killer. "If I can't have you no-one can" does not BEGIN to describe what happened.

* Catalina of ''[[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas]]'', particularly as she starts getting closer to C.J. As if she weren't already [[Ax Crazy|crazy enough]].

* Sasha of ''[[Infamous (video game series)|In Famous]]'', the leader of the Reapers and the first [[Super Villain]] you fight is obsessed with Cole, whispering maniacal pleads for his love into his mind when he comes into contact with the sludge she controls. It might have something to do with the fact that {{spoiler|she was [[Big Bad|Kessler's]] former lover and Cole is actually an [[Alternate Universe]] version of Kessler.}}

* Nuwangi in ''[[Utawarerumono]]''. Sure, he ''is'' also an arrogant [[Jerkass]], but most of what he does is out of either desire for Eruruw or wanting to destroy Hakuoro. It's hinted from time to time that if the situation weren't what it was he wouldn't be as much of an ass. He's definitely not happy about what happens to Tuskuru.

* In the [[Nancy Drew (video game)|Nancy Drew]] game ''Stay Tuned For Danger'', {{spoiler|the culprit is the rare ''male'' variety in the form of Dwayne Powers, whose motive for sending death threats to, and trying to kill, Rick Arlen comes directly from Rick dating the actress Dwayne is secretly in love with.}}

* Both [[Catherine]] and Katherine are both in love with Vincent, and Catherine outright states that she'll kill him or any girl.

* ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'' has one in {{spoiler|Ravel Puzzlewell}}, who refuses to let her love leave her a second time when he comes to visit...

* {{spoiler|Charlie}} in ''[[Shikkoku no Sharnoth]]''. Apparently, {{spoiler|she couldn't bear the thought of parting from Mary someday in the future}} and thus knowingly meddles with Sharnoth, nearly causing absolute catastrophe and Mary's death at numerous points.

* Another male example is Anton Herzen from ''[[Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box]]''. He waited years in a mansion for the return of his fiancée and {{spoiler|when he finally sees someone who looks exactly like her ([[Identical Grandson|for good reason]]), he goes completely mad and tries to ''kill'' Layton because he thinks his long-awaited fiancée has been cheating on him.}} He got better, thankfully.
