** The opposite also happens sometimes in Joey/Kaiba fics, with Serenity being painted as the bitchy, ungrateful little sister who wants to steal her brother's one true love. And for some reason, she's also portrayed as a bitch in Azureshipper (Seto/Anzu) fics out to steal Anzu's true love.
* Yugi Mutou himself, despite his status as the co-protagonists of the series along with Yami Yugi, can also be the victim of this trope. This happens especially in Seto/Anzu fics where Yugi is portrayed either as a weak-willed cuckold unaware of Anzu's cheating with Seto or as an emotionally abusive boyfriend (or husband) so Anzu would be allowed to have an affair with Seto who is somehow portrayed as a patient and understanding person, unlike his canon version.

* Yugi Mutouhimself, despite his and/or Yami Yugi--despite their status as the co-protagonists of the series along with Yami Yugi, this show-- can also be the victim victims of this trope. This happens especially in Seto/Anzu fics where Seto Kaiba/Anzu fics. If Yugi is the designated victim of DFOS, he would be portrayed as either as a weak-willed cuckold unaware of Anzu's cheating with Seto Kaiba or as an emotionally abusive neglectful boyfriend (or husband) so Anzu would be allowed to break up or have an affair with Seto Kaiba who is somehow portrayed as a sarcastic but patient and understanding person, unlike his person. If Yami Yugi is the designated victim of DFOS, he would be portrayed as downright abusive so Kaiba would save Anzu from him. This is especially jarring considering the amount of times Yugi/Yami helped Anzu in both canon version.and filler episodes, and the fact that Anzu basically called out Kaiba for his attempt to guilt Yugi/Yami into throwing away the duel by threatening to commit suicide in Duelist Kingdom arc.

Despite him dying ''twice'', which also presumably kills off the possibility of a future development of his romance with Aki in the show, the fans just can't stop bashing him and depict him raping, beating and insulting the living daylights out of her. Usually he dies a terrible death at the end of every single one of their fanfictions. In the show, it was not only made pretty clear that he never would have abused her physically nor verbally, but also shown that even ''if'' he used her for her powers, he was in fact always very caring and protective, if not gentle towards her.
* Another idea very popular in Yusei/Aki fanfiction was (and still is) Aki turning against Divine as soon as she finds out about his [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans evil motives]] and wanting him dead, killing him together with Yusei, or at least being happy about [[KnightInShiningArmor her hero Yusei]] having slayed him for her. This was completely {{jossed}} though in episode 42, when Aki actually did find out the truth and said that even if Divine used her for her powers, she still would always be grateful to him for accepting her and even that his existence was invaluable to her. Also she was ''pretty'' happy to see him when he [[spoiler:returned in episode 60]].
