History ShipToShipCombat / AnimeAndManga

** Luffy/Nami and Sanji/Nami shippers got their ''most heated'' around the Zou and Whole Cake Island arcs (since special focus was given Luffy, Nami and Sanji) like when Nami tearfully hugs Luffy tightly when she meets him again... ''but she's crying over Sanji'' ('''cue arguments'''). Then, in Whole Cake Island Pudding got in involved as Sanji LoveInterest bride which was encouraging to Luffy/Nami fans and annoyed Sanji/Nami fans [[spoiler: then it was revealed Pudding was EvilAllAlong which made Sanji/Nami shippers happy at the apparent Sanji/Pudding ShipSink. Then at the Tea Party, Pudding actually falls in love with Sanji after he compliments her third eye which made it seem like the ship was rekindled especially since Sanji saved Pudding despite her trying to kill him. Then in another twist Sanji [[FallingIntoHisArms has a big]] ShipTease moment with Nami ''right in front of Pudding'' who is left behind, which pissed off both Sanji/Pudding and Luffy/Nami fans. Then in one more twist from Oda (who you'd think was doing this intenionally at this point) Pudding kisses Sanji before the arc ends, however Pudding also takes Sanji's memories away and flees while Sanji leaves her to save Luffy. Not mention the fight between Luffy and Sanji where the latter beat up the former in front of Nami [[FakeDefector as an act]] for his family, Luffy/Nami shippers were furious at Sanji considering it a betrayal and the slap Nami gave Sanji as validation of the ship sink between Nami and Sanji. When Nami forgives Sanji later on, Luffy/Nami shippers were bitter about it, saying Sanji didn't deserve it.]] Ironically the Zoro/Nami fans have died down through all this, mainly due to Nami not having any real screen time with Zoro.

* ''Manga/HikariNoDensetsu'': Hikari/Takaaki and Hikari/Mao, especially since [[spoiler: the manga makes Mao her love interest and the anime makes Takaaki her love interest]].

* Back in the early years of the ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'' fandom, there were some pretty heated ship wars between Lina/Gourry and Lina/Zel shippers, made even more fun by ''Anime/LostUniverse'' with shared voice actors and character archetypes, not to mention {{fanon}} shared continuity. It's calmed down considerably since.

* ''Manga/{{Bakugan}}'' is somewhat a curious case, as the main target is not [[TheHero Dan]], but '''[[TheStoic Shun]]''', his {{Lancer}} and {{Foil}}. The first season teased [[ProperLady Alice]], while third season teased [[WarriorPrincess Fabia]]. Surprisingly, the shipwar is notably low on bashing and cursing, with each side prefering to pile evidence to try and top each other.

** Outside of the protagonists, there are aplenty of ships that dislike the other. There’s Jirō/Yaoyorozu and Kaminari/Jirō, with the former believing Jirō is by fan speculation a lesbian and the latter either saying Kaminari and Jirō are closer or acting as the middleman and making Jirō bisexual. Then there’s the well-known clash between Eraserhead/Ms. Joke with Esarhead/Present Mic, not to mention Eraserhead with All Might into the mix. Hawks is also a pretty popularly shipped character, either with Dabi or Endeavor. The Hawks/Dabi fandom usually call out Endeavor’s past romantic dilemma, and stating Endeavor is too undeserving for a second relationship and/or that the ship has an uncomfortable age gap since Hawks is the same age as Endeavor's second-oldest child, while the Endeavor/Hawks fandom often states that neither party of the Hawks/Dabi ship fully trusted each other. In the Paranormal Liberation War Arc [[spoiler:Hawks starts to show his true colors to the PLF and Dabi is quick to burn Hawks for killing Twice. Endhawks fans claim this pretty much invalidated the ship, while Dabihawks fans ended up [[FoeYayShipping shipping it harder]].]]

** People who support Sayaka/Kyouko are not on good terms with [[Manga/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheDifferentStory Mami/Kyouko shippers]] and they hate the fact that [[spoiler:Kyouko killing Oktavia (Sayaka's witch form) to save Mami from despair and ultimately leaving herself vulnerable to witch attack afterward]]. The feeling is mutual, as Mami/Kyouko shippers argued that [[SenpaiKohai Mami is the one who taught Kyouko everything she knew]] and [[DieForOurShip insisted that Sayaka is the third wheel]]. The existence of [[spoiler:Nagisa (Charlotte's human form)]] in canon storyline [[PairTheSpares managed to soften the shipping war between these two pairings]].

* After episode 19 of ''Anime/{{Penguindrum}}'', there has been some seriously fierce ship wars between fans of Kanba/Himari, Shouma/Ringo and [[spoiler:Shouma/Himari]]. It's extremely complicated to explain due to how much of a MindScrew the series is, but basically it's like this: the [[spoiler:third]] ship didn't have much ShipTease until the aforementioned episode, and since it goes between the other two, the fans of said "other couples" were seriously thrown off and started warring against it due to possible ShipSinking. The [[spoiler:Kanba/Himari]] supporters are '''specially'' loud in their displeasure, due to the BrokenBase factor in regards to [[spoiler:Kanba the MemeticBadass]] and [[spoiler:Shouma the victim of WhatMeasureIsANonBadass]]; the other "faction" mainly tends to panic about the possible consequences, but generally don't bash [[spoiler:Shouma]].

*** Not to mention how the fanatical {{Yaoi fangirl}}s mix this with WhatMeasureIsANonBadass, trying to erase and deny ANY kind of influence that the few girls in the cast had on the guys, either romantic or friendship-like, just because they think the girls are all weak and stupid and "not feminist enough to deserve being paired up." Shun/Hyoga shippers are really bad about it, bashing Princess Freya from the {{filler}} Asgard arc despite how much of a PluckyGirl she is and hissing at the mere mentions of Shun's UnluckyChildhoodFriend Jun. And the less said about their thoughts on Saori, the better.

* ''Anime/TigerAndBunny'' is mostly a peaceful fandom, but it's starting to show early symptoms of this since Kotetsu / [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Karina]] and Kotetsu/[[IceKing Barnaby]] fans have been spotted fighting it out. Is Karina a [[WhatMeasureIsANonBadass "girly thus weak"]] little bitch who gets in between the oh so sacred HoYay between Kotetsu and Barnaby? Is Barnaby a selfish, immature JerkAss who treats Kotetsu like shit just to satisfy his ego - sooooo unlike the sweet, pretty Karina would? Be careful about expressing such thoughts...
