History Main / YandereCouple

* ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'': Unlike how their relationship is depicted [[MadLove in the comics]], Harley Quinn and the Joker are portrayed here as being utterly devoted to one another. Though by ''Film/BirdsOfPrey'', it's turned sour enough for Harley to dump him.

->''"Let me tell you a little something about love, Dennis. It has voracious appetite. It eats everything: friendship, family, it kills me how much it eats. But I'll tell you something else, you feed it right and it can be a beautiful thing, and that's what we have. Y'know, when someone believes in you man, really believes in you, you can anything, any '''fucking''' thing in the entire universe '''and when you believe right back in that someone, then watch out world! 'Cause nobody can stop you then! Nobody! Ever!'''"''

When left on their own, these couples will at worst be SickeningSweethearts. But try to get between them however... '''[[BerserkButton watch out]]''' because [[{{Determinator}} come hell or high water]] they do whatever to takes to remain together and chances are things will not end well for you and whoever gets it their way.

And if this pair comes with a side of OutlawCouple, SerialKiller, AxCrazy, or anything else less-than-legal, expect that little BerserkButton to become several magnitudes more difficult to avoid. If such an unholy couple is also married, this can also overlap with UnholyMatrimony (or, God forbid, TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether should they end up mating and producing offspring).

See also PsychoticLoveTriangle, if another Yandere is butting-in with the couple.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'': A downplayed and PlayedForLaughs example. While Rich and Amy don't demonstrate the psychosis traditionally associated with {{yandere}}s, the other characters find themselves alternatively bemused or disturbed the obsessive level of devotion they show one another.

[[caption-width-right:350: LoveMakesYouCrazy is a bit of an... understatement when it comes to these two...]]

Generally speaking, when a {{yandere}} falls in love with someone, they tend to play for keeps. No matter how [[MurderTheHypotenuse much blood has to be shed]], [[LoveMakesYouEvil no matter how much suffering they inflict]], your common-or-garden yandere will do anything for and to be with the one they love.

[[FromBadToWorse And that's all just assuming the relationship is a healthy one...]]

* ''{{Series/Friends}}'': Ross and Rachel serve as this, though it is much less violent. Both Ross and Rachel get jealous when they see each other with other people, even when they are not together and jump to conclusion that even when they are not together, they should not see other people.

[[AC:Visual Novels]]
* ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'': [[spoiler:Bernkastel and Lambdadelta]] are a PsychoLesbian variant, as the entire plot, with all the gore and death, is basically one big game between them, and they frequently express their love for each other by threatening to horribly mutilate each other, like [[spoiler:Lambdadelta]] threatening to gouge [[spoiler:Bernkastel]]'s eyes so they'll only see her.

[[AC: Live-Action Television]]
* ''Series/You2018'': Season 2 is one long deconstruction. The climax reveals that behind Love's "perfect girl" exterior, [[spoiler:she is a cunning, remorseless murderer who killed Forty's au pair for molesting him, and she murdered Delilah and Candace for threatening to expose Joe when Joe himself couldn't. However, when she does this - and reveals she knew all along that Joe killed Beck, and planted herself to find him - Joe is repulsed by her, and only doesn't kill her because she's pregnant with their baby. They stay together, but Joe is miserable and loathes her.]]

* ''Webcomic/StalkerXStalker'' by Merryweathery features the main {{yandere}}s Junko and Yukio madly in love with each other. While fairly harmless when nobody gets between them, when somebody ''does'' get between them... well, it ends [[MurderTheHypotenuse the way you expect]].

* Manhwa/HeadOverHeels is a messy, but realistic deconstruction of this trope, as both of the main characters seem to be in love with each other to the point it drives them to do horrific acts. However a lot of their delusions about love comes from psychological projection from their pasts, which shows that the ideals of a yandere won't stand in the real world. It's even the page image.

[[AC:ComicStrips]]
* ''ComicStrip/{{Zits}}'': A downplayed and PlayedForLaughs example. While Rich and Amy don't demonstrate the psychosis traditionally associated with {{yandere}}s, the other characters find themselves alternatively bemused or disturbed the obsessive level of devotion they show one another.

In theory this would seem like an ideal set-up. With two individuals sharing [[LoveMakesYouCrazy such an unquestionably insane devotion to one another]], you immediately bypass the [[MurderTheHypotenuse typical]] [[IfICantHaveYou shenanigans]] that accompany the archetype. Right?

* ''Film/NaturalBornKillers'': A big part of what has come to make [[SerialKiller Mickey and Mallorey Knoxx]] so appealing to the media and the public is their psychotic devotion to one another.
