* The Battle Lovers on Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove use Love Attack to subdue their opponent and Love Shower to heal them.

* The Battle Lovers on Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove! use Love Attack to subdue their opponent and Love Shower to heal them.

* ''Anime/MobileFighterGGundam'' provides what probably is the most over-the-top example of this trope in Mecha Anime. 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 hole]] through the [[spoiler: Devil Gundam's]] chest.

* Those who have seen ''LightNovel/MagiciansAcademy'' are familiar with the thing known only as [[http://img1.lln.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/40cecbb3ea35f471723a0aceece292101234345269_full.jpg Halpshiel]]. An Angel of love and former teacher, he was exiled for forcibly French-kissing the entire student body and faculty. Among other grievances.

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

* A subtle example that lacks the heart motif and is entirely missable if you [[HelloInsertNameHere used a name for the "favorite thing" that wasn't the default]], but Lucas from ''VideoGame/{{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.
* The spell [[CharmPerson "Marin Karin"]] in some ''Franchise/{{Shin Megami Tensei}}'' games also deals moderate damage as well as the Charm ailment.

* in Clicker Heroes, the heroes Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Lilins' bios read "Aphrodite's power lies in her beauty. Her looks can melt the hearts of her foes." and "There's no way around it. She will ask for your head and you will comply. All who gaze upon her fall under her love spell and people do crazy things for love." respectively.

* Ribrienne, a parody of MagicalGirl fighters in ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'', has a number of KiAttacks that are heart-shaped. Most of them explode on contact with tremendous force.

[[caption-width-right:249:Love till it hurts.]]

* One of Etna's recurring attacks is Sexy Beam. It hits the field in a heart shaped blast, and she seems to create the energy from it by posing in various ways. The hearts likely symbolize lust rather than love in this situation.
** Within the ''Disgaea'' 'verse itself [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower Heart is regularly shown to be an awesome power]]. Provided that it's really and truly genuine, and not merely emptily declared sentimentality. Other times it's symbols of lust, like the hearts that appear when succubus characters strike the enemy.

** The Attract move infatuates the opponent, shown with {{Heart Symbol|s}}, giving them a 50/50 chance of deciding to fight back.

* The Attract move from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' sends [[HeartSymbol hearts]] to infatuate the opponent, giving them a 50/50 chance of deciding to fight back.
** Additionally the Jynx evolution family, and their iconic moves Sweet Kiss and Lovely Kiss, [[CaptainObvious use kisses]] to a variety of effects.

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

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFight Revenge'', [[UnsettlingGenderReveal Poi]][[ShesAManInJapan son]] can use a KissOfDeath as a projectile, complete with {{heart symbol}}s.

* A ''much'' darker version of this shows up in ''VideoGame/CultistSimulator''. Heart is one of the schools of occult lore, and the fact that it's symbol is a ''realistic'' heart in a sickly shade of pink should tell you [[LightIsNotGood it's no better than the rest]]. It still represents the usual "heart" elements, just with a decidedly creepy take. Heart cultists are cheerful and upbeat before you recruit them, and ''[[UncannyValleyGirl psychotically happy]]'' afterwards (though very good at [[VillainWithGoodPublicity removing notoriety]]). Heart magic, meanwhile, is good for staving off curses, healing, and charming people without violence, but it can also summon perpetually-dancing horrors from [[EldritchLocation the Mansus]].

[[IThoughtItMeant Has nothing to do with]] using a heart as an ImprovisedWeapon to apply a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown.

* In {{Series/Torchwood}}, there was a creature known simply as "Sex Gas." [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer Seriously.]] It floated around possessing people to have a major sex drive. The possessed people develo pheromones as a way of attracting people.

** Within the ''Disgaea'' 'verse itself [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower Heart is regularly shown to be an awesome power]]. Provided that it's really and truly genuine, and not merely emptily declared sentimentality.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' gives us Marisa Kirisame, a magician who deliberately plays up as many MagicalGirl tropes she can get away with (since her [[BlatantLies other]] [[KleptomaniacHero personality]] [[SociopathicHero traits]] subvert the hell out of the archetype). As such, her SignatureMove is a spellcard named [[WaveMotionGun "Love Sign: Master Spark"]], and her original {{Leitmotif}} was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cgiEa74RPs "Love-Colored Magic"]], later remixed as the famous [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6SGEl-jM-0 "Love-Colored Master Spark"]].

* The mermaids in the ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' series has an attack where they blow a kiss and little hearts float above them, damaging Shantae if she touches the hearts while jumping over them.

** Within the ''Disgaea'' 'verse itself [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower Heart is regularly shown to be an awesome power]]. Provided, that it really and truly genuine, and not merely emptily declared sentimentality.
** ''VideoGame/MakaiKingdom'' has the Staff weapon type, a Magical Girl-style sceptre entwined with ribbons. Most of its moves summon hearts or ribbons to demolish enemies with magic.

* There are two characters in ''Franchise/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-shaped 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. Justified in that it's actually [[BlowYouAway a blast of air pressure]].
