History Main / HeartBeatDown

A character with this power is fueled by or themed around '''[[color:pink:innocence, love, beauty, attraction]]''' or '''[[color:pink:lust]]'''. Because these are more feelings than a proper element, the abilities of the user will have to do a lot with their personality and the general tone of the series. The user is almost AlwaysFemale.

* "Warrior of Love, CutieHoney!"

* In ''KidIcarusUprising'', the Angel Bow and Viridi Palm both shoot heart-shaped projectiles. [[spoiler:[[HotGoddess Amazon Pandora]] does this too.]]

** [[GhostGirl Pamela]] can also summon a skeletal ghost with heart themed armor.

* A Sailor-suited Pretty Soldier of Love and Justice: ''Manga/SailorMoon''! - her attacks are the only ones that purify their opponents. Also Moon Spiral Heart Attack (the page image) and Rainbow Moon Heart Ache slam her opponents with a giant heart that shatters on impact. It's quite [[DeathCryEcho lovely]].
** Soldier of Love and Beauty, Sailor Venus! - The Love Me Chain and Love and Beauty Shock are made of {{Heart Symbol}}s. She also uses Rolling Heart Vibration in the manga and [[Series/PrettyGuardianSailorMoon live action series]].

If they're not the fighting type, a character with this element will use IntimateHealing or the KissOfLife. May be able to [[WhiteMagic purify their opponents and empower their allies]] or [[DistractedByTheSexy seduce]] [[CharmPerson and hypnotize them]]. Usually through magic or weapons that act like concentrated {{LovePotion}}s or [[KissingUnderTheInfluence hyper potent pheromones]] in more 'realistic' settings.

With rare exception, good or evil, the character will be [[EvilIsSexy very]] [[BeautyEqualsGoodness attractive.]] Male examples are usually only played straight if [[BattleCouple their girlfriends are nearby,]] otherwise they'll be PlayedForLaughs or as FanDisservice.

* LoveFreak Flonne from ''{{Disgaea}}'' has a healing spell called ThePowerOfLove and an attack called Holy Arrows which is a volley of explosive arrows shaped like hearts.

* A subtle example that is entirely missable if you [[HelloInsertNameHere used a name for the "favorite thing" that wasn't the default]], but Lucas from [[{{VideoGame/Mother3}} MOTHER 3]] has this in the form of PK Love, his only damage-based PSI attack; the Ω version is the most powerful in the game next to Kumatora's [[GameBreaker PK Ground]]. Definitely on the innocence and love side of the scale though, given the character.

* DigimonFrontier: Kazemon's 'Love Tap' attack, induces infatuation after an AssKicksYou. However, hitting things with her butt rarely did her much good.

* In ''KidIcarusUprising'', the Angel Bow and Viridi Palm both shoot heart-shaped projectiles.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'': Princess Cadence' magical ability is bringing love to others and mending broken relationships. In the second episode of the season two finale, [[spoiler:[[BigBad Queen Chrysalis]] is taken out by her and [[KnightInShiningArmor Shining Armor]] with a massive explosion of pure love that reforms the DeflectorShields and ejects her and her Changeling subjects out of Canterlot [[TwinkleInTheSky and over the horizon]]. The background music is even called "Love Conquers All"]].
** Her love shield in the Season 3 two-parter opener is capable of repelling and hurting King Sombra.

* In ''EightBitTheater'' Black Mage is technically this - his preferred attack is a beam of destruction fueled by love. As in, using it reduces the total amount of love in the universe, causing a measurable increase in the divorce rate.

* "Anime/MobileFighterGGundam": In the grand finale, Domon and Rain [[spoiler: (now the OfficialCouple after Domon delivers an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove to Rain, breaking her free from the Devil Gundam)]] perform the Sekiha Love-Love Tenkyoken, a move that actually leaves a [[HeartSymbol heart-shaped mark]] in the [[spoiler: Devil Gundam's]] chest.

* [[MegamanBattleNetwork Roll.EXE]]. She's the only female NetNavi in the main cast, so to go along with her "girl" motif, hearts feature prominently in a lot of her attacks. She can also heal other NetNavis, presumably by dropping giant, pink hearts on top of them.

** The background music that plays during this scene is even called "Love Conquers All."

* There are two characters in OnePiece who have love-based attacks, though in different ways. Boa Hancock can turn anyone attracted to her into stone (she does this through heart-shaed attacks such as heart beams or heart arrows that turn people to stone on contact). Emporio Ivankov is a Creepy Crossdresser whose attacks include throwing winks, which have oddly immense destructive power.

* Hathor did much the same on ''Series/StargateSG1''. It proved fortunate that the [=SGC=] has women too,
