| 10 | You have a younger sibling. Either full-blooded, half-blooded, or just adoptive (or, in some odd cases, more than one of those at once). Especially a little sister. The kid is wronged somehow. What do you do? |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Do you deal with the offender in a calm, civil manner? |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Or failing that, perhaps you are a little upset, yet you keep control over your emotions, and keep yourself as restrained as you can? |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Or do you go after the offender, the offender's friends, [[RevengeByProxy anyone connected to the offender]], as well as [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge anyone who even looks like they could be an offender sometime in the indeterminate future and kill them all in as painful a manner as possible?]] |
| 17 | |
| 18 | If you are the latter, then congratulations! You are officially a Knight Templar Big Brother (or Big Sister). |
| 19 | |
| 20 | This trope is what happens when a character takes the BigBrotherInstinct to the extreme. They don't just protect the younger sibling, they absolutely destroy anyone who'd so much as even look at them wrong. Much like the KnightTemplar and KnightTemplarParent, the Knight Templar Big Brother often genuinely believes that what they are doing is right and fully beneficial to the younger sibling, [[WhatTheHellHero which often results in a clash of siblings later on within the show or work.]] |
| 21 | |
| 22 | Contrast with SpartanSibling. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | See also KnightTemplar, KnightTemplarParent and MySisterIsOffLimits. If the characters aren't actual siblings, it probably is {{Yandere}}. |

| 29 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 30 | |
| 31 | [[folder:Anime & Manga]] |
| 32 | * Urd from ''Manga/AhMyGoddess'', who makes it clear that she will do anything and use any power she has to in order to protect her sisters Belldandy and Skuld. Urd has to continually "punish" Aoshima after his latest rape attempt against Belldandy or Skuld (he tried to force himself on her when Skuld grew up after Yggdrasil crashed). Urd stood up to her own mother Hild, the Daimakaicho, telling her to stop tormenting "her little sister" Skuld after Skuld incurred her wrath. Also, Urd actually passed the test to become a First-Class Goddess (the highest level that every goddess tries to attain) but declines because First-Class Goddesses have to use their powers to protect everyone; Urd only wants to use her powers to protect her sisters. Since Belldandy goes absolutely postal if anyone even blinks wrong at Keiichi, it is easy to overlook that Urd is a Templar Knight Big Sister as well. |
| 33 | * Akira's older brothers in ''Manga/AiOreLoveMe'' are quite protective of him. |
| 34 | * Shinnosuke from ''Literature/ApocalypseAlice'', who tries very hard to be TheUnfettered in wanting to save his little sister. To achieve that goal, he's sworn off anything unnecessarily detrimental to him, such as sticking his neck out for others as he can't afford to die before rescuing his sister. That said, keyword is ''tries''. |
| 35 | * ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'': |
| 36 | ** Mikasa Ackerman towards her adoptive brother Eren Yeager, since [[IOweYouMyLife he killed her parents' murderers, saved her from them, and let her into his family]]. She's violently over-protective, to the extent that she will ignore direct orders or the greater good (such as helping evacuate citizens) to protect him. On numerous occasions, she's threatened the lives of even her TrueCompanions, making it clear if forced to choose between Eren's well-being and their lives, she will kill them without hesitation. |
| 37 | ** Levi was one to his [[DoomedByCanon ill-fated]] surrogate little sister, Isabel, in the SpinOff prequel about his past. When she came home beaten up and [[TraumaticHaircut missing a pigtail]], he went out. He comes home that evening, cleaning blood off a knife, and won't answer when their companion Farlan asks if he killed those responsible. [[spoiler:When Isabel and Farlan both get eaten by an Aberrant, Levi [[UnstoppableRage loses it]] and utterly [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill MASSACRES]] the Titan in question]]. |
| 38 | * Mahiro from ''Manga/BlastOfTempest'' is this for Aika. He was insanely protective of her and demanded that she didn't get romantically involved with anyone. Probably had to do with the fact that he was in love with her without being aware of it. |
| 39 | * ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' has a few examples: |
| 40 | ** Ichigo adamantly believes the reason a big brother is born first is to protect all the little siblings that follow. He will force-feed this belief by the sword if he has to, to any big brother he catches not protecting their own siblings, as both Orihime and Rukia's respective big brothers discover. When he feels anyone he cares about is being threatened, he becomes single-minded about saving them, taking on both Soul Society and Hueco Mundo when Rukia and Orihime need rescuing from their respective hostage situations. When his entire family and social circle are brainwashed by a villain, he is left so isolated from the very people he is trying to save that he actually comes to accept that the only solution will be to kill the villain instead of simply defeating them. [[spoiler:When Yuzu dies in the fourth movie after being exposed for too long to Hell's miasma, Ichigo completely loses control, enters his super-Hollow form, and destroys Hell's gate.]] |
| 41 | ** Byakuya once made two separate vows: a promise to his dead parents that he would always uphold the law, and a promise to his dying wife to protect her sister, Rukia. When Rukia is sentenced to execution, [[ConflictingLoyalty those two vows conflict]] and Byakuya is forced to choose the vow that was made to his parents, which trumps a vow made to a wife. Ichigo helps him resolve the conflict, freeing Byakuya to do what he wanted from the beginning - protect Rukia. He does so with a dreadful, single-minded purpose; when Zommari decides to kill an unconscious Rukia, Byakuya intervenes. When Zommari is defeated, he rants about Shinigami's arrogance in thinking they have the right to slay hollows. Byakuya corrects him, explaining that killing Zommari has nothing to do with being a Shinigami and that it's instead because Zommari dared to point a sword at Rukia. |
| 42 | ** Hitsugaya and Hinamori have been raised together by an old woman they both refer to as their grandmother. He is incredibly protective of her despite being the younger of the two to the point where he attacked a perceived threat to her with such force two nearby vice-captains were caught up in the power he unleashed (one of which was actually her). [[spoiler:In the end, their relationship is exploited by Aizen, who tricks Hitsugaya into stabbing an illusion of Aizen -- when the illusion disappears, it's revealed that Hitsugaya has stabbed Hinamori. As a result, Hitsugaya vows to become strong enough to protect Hinamori from everything.]] |
| 43 | ** A deconstructed case with Kokuto from the ''[[Anime/BleachHellVerse Hell Verse]]'' movie. His younger sister got killed and Kokuto killed her murderer, but Kokuto got punished later on and ended up in Hell in his afterlife. [[spoiler:He could not accept his punishment and tries everything to break out of Hell, even going so far as to [[TheManbehindTheMan manipulate Shuren and his men]] to lure Ichigo into Hell and have him use his Hollow powers to break the chains that bind him to Hell. This is where the {{Foil}} part kicks in: after Ichigo's sister is revived, Ichigo returns to Hell to save his friends from Kokuto's hands and not to seek revenge on him, while Kokuto's desire for freedom comes from his hatred for his punishment, as he thinks that he doesn't deserve that for avenging his sister. [[GeniusLoci Hell sympathizes more]] with Ichigo and lends him its power to defeat Kokuto, who then gets punished ''[[FateWorseThanDeath even harder]]''.]] |
| 44 | * Touya from ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' has shades of this because he promised his mother on her deathbed that he'd protect Sakura. For one, he jumped over a fence and tried to beat up a 10-year-old boy for bullying Sakura. |
| 45 | * More than one SympatheticMurderer in ''Manga/CaseClosed'' is a brother or a sister seeking revenge for the death or ruin of their younger or older sibling. Some examples are: |
| 46 | ** [[spoiler: Toshiya Tadakoro (kills his boss for causing the death of his ill sister while MovingTheGoalposts)]] |
| 47 | ** [[spoiler: Akiko Sayama (kills a corrupt PC programmer for causing her older brother's ruin and suicide)]] |
| 48 | ** [[spoiler: Chieri Aki aka Eri Akechi (kills two {{Alpha Bitch}}es for framing her long-lost younger sister for drug trade and making her commit suicide)]] |
| 49 | ** [[spoiler: Masao Kouda (doesn't kill anyone but becomes a bank robber to hide his loot in the backyard of the man who killed his younger sister and forces them to dig in to find the girl's corpse)]] |
| 50 | ** [[spoiler: Midori Nozaki (brews a mix of FatalMethodActing and ThanatosGambit to both commit suicide and [[TakingYouWithMe take the woman]] who made her sister kill herself down with her)]] and others. |
| 51 | * ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'': |
| 52 | ** When Last Order is kidnapped, [[spoiler: Accelerator]] reverts back into the person he used to be, except in an effort to save her. Slaughter ensues. The lesson in all this? Only those who don't value their lives shall mess with Last Order |
| 53 | ** Mikoto also has shades of this herself when she discovers what's happening to her clones, whom she considers her younger sisters, and what she's willing to go through to stop the Level 6 Project. |
| 54 | * In ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'': |
| 55 | ** When Rosette Christopher's little brother is kidnapped by the BigBad, she makes a DealWithTheDevil and spends four years training as a ChurchMilitant. The moment she discovers the location of her brother, she travels from New York to San Francisco, guns blazing, killing any demon that attempts to get in her way, all while being the only BadassNormal in the manga ([[spoiler:the anime eventually gave her holy powers]]). In the manga, it all leads to a battle between her and [[spoiler:Joshua Christopher himself]] who is strong enough to tear apart a massive army of demons with his bare hands. ''And she kicks his ass.'' |
| 56 | ** There's also Fiore, who considers herself as something of a big sister to Joshua. She seems gentle and demure at first, but when the time comes she doesn't hesitate to [[spoiler:die in an attempt to protect Joshua, even going directly against her master's orders in the manga]]. |
| 57 | * [[Characters/CodeGeassLelouchLamperouge Lelouch Lamperouge]] from ''Anime/CodeGeass''. |
| 58 | ** After his younger sister Nunally was wounded in a terrorist attack (that also killed their mother), he ultimately started a war and took over the world, all for her sake. [[spoiler: And when she found out, [[WhatTheHellHero she got]] ''[[WhatTheHellHero pissed]]''. That said, it's shown she was given a ''skewed'' (to say the least) perspective of what Lelouch was doing by [[LightIsNotGood Schneizel]] and at the end when she finds out the truth she actually approves of what he did and just wishes it didn't end in his death.]] |
| 59 | ** In Season 1 Mao, a StalkerWithACrush to Lelouch's partner C.C. kidnapped poor Nunnally and strapped a bomb to her. Lelouch was ''already'' very pissed off at Mao since he first [[spoiler: {{Mind Rape}}d his poor, sweet classmate -- and an innocent bystander which he had no business to involve -- Shirley]] and then did the same to [[spoiler: his ForgottenChildhoodFriend Suzaku]]; needless to say, Mao did ''not'' meet a pleasing end. |
| 60 | --->'''Lelouch:''' [[spoiler:[[CompellingVoice MAO]]! [[ShutUpHannibal NEVER SPEAK AGAIN]]!]] |
| 61 | ** Prince Clovis, whose utter hatred of the Japanese and brutal treatment of them is a result of them causing the [[FakingTheDead (Assumed)]] deaths of his brother and sister. |
| 62 | * Another Knight Templar ''Younger'' Brother is [[spoiler: Fire God Apollo]] from ''Manga/Cyborg009'', towards his older sister [[spoiler: Hunt Goddess Artemis]]. When [[spoiler: the girl died [[TearJerker very tragically]], the already unstable Apollo went ''insane'' with grief and killed the culprit, then let himself die whispering his sister's name]]. |
| 63 | * In the original manga of ''Manga/DeathNote'' [[Characters/DeathNoteLightYagami Light Yagami]] claims in an early MotiveRant that part of the reason he's killing criminals ''en masse'' is to make the world a safer place for his little sister Sayu. It might even be somewhat true. [[spoiler:Sayu is, after all, the only person he refused to kill when it would be to his advantage to kill her. Then again, it could be that he just realized Mello would keep kidnapping people until he finally did something about it other than kill their prisoners.]] |
| 64 | * ''Manga/DetectiveSchoolQ'': [[spoiler: Kunihiko and Akihiko Ichinose]] become this, trying to protect [[spoiler: their sister Kaoru]] from a SmugSnake aunt who wants to become her tutor and steal the fortune she inherited from their MissingMom alongside a PhonyPsychic accomplice. [[spoiler: They kill the psychic first, and then they murder the aunt when she finds out and tries blackmailing them. Only the psychic was their mom under a disguise, having faked her death to save her business and watch over her kids. Whoops.]] |
| 65 | * MadScientist Komui Lee of ''Manga/DGrayMan'' is very protective of his younger sister, ActionGirl Lenalee. So much so that Link, wanting to go into a room which Allen had locked him out of, threatened him with, "you leave me no choice. I am forced to tell Supervisor Komui that you are in a sealed room with Lenalee Lee," to which Allen quickly apologized and let him in. There is also an anime-only {{filler}} episode where Komui mistakenly thinks that Lenalee is going on a date with one of the Order's scientists and has to be convinced to simply stalk them all over town instead of outright killing the guy. He then repeatedly tries to attack and is comically restrained, until eventually he manages to summon a huge robot to aid him. An excellent summation: |
| 66 | -->'''Reever:''' Section Chief Peck, I would advise you [[MaleGaze not to look at Lenalee that way]].\ |
| 67 | '''Peck:''' Why? Does she have a lover?\ |
| 68 | '''Reever:''' She has a ''brother''. |
| 69 | * Henry Wong from ''Anime/DigimonTamers'' went from being the most rational and calm guy in the group to being temperamental, hasty, and reckless when his sister ends up in the Digital World. |
| 70 | * ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'''s Shizuo Heiwajima tends to act like this in regards to his little brother, Kasuka. While he has reason to be concerned for his brother's safety and privacy (Kasuka's a popular actor, and has been stalked by both rabid fans and the paparazzi in the past), Shizuo takes it a bit too far by immediately becoming suspicious of ''any'' mention of his brother by strangers, innocent or otherwise. Said suspicion [[HairTriggerTemper usually escalates into]] [[SuperStrength tree-throwing]]. |
| 71 | * Both inverted and played straight in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'': |
| 72 | ** Edward is multiple times in the series confronted with the question of how far he's willing to go to save Alphonse, but sanity and morality usually win out. However, in an early episode of ''Anime/FullmetalAlchemist2003'', Alphonse comments that if something were to happen to Ed, Al might well go on a killer rampage just like [[spoiler:Scar]] did. |
| 73 | ** Scar counted as one himself. The realization of his brother's death sent him into an uncontrollable rage, during which time he [[spoiler:killed the Rockbells]]. He later moves on to hunting down and murdering State Alchemists to avenge him. |
| 74 | * Ryo Mashiba from ''Manga/HajimeNoIppo'' was orphaned when he was in high school, so he had to [[PromotionToParent raise his younger sister Kumi]] on his own. Being a borderline SociopathicHero, he ends up as this towards her, and it's both played for drama ''and'' for hilarity. |
| 75 | * In ''Manga/HellTeacherNube'', the demon Bakki can bounce between LaughablyEvil and evil... but if you hurt his little sister Minki, you. are. DEAD. |
| 76 | * ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'': |
| 77 | ** Romano ''tries'', bless him. Luckily for Germany, he can't throw a grenade properly and can't come up with anything worse than [[PlayedForLaughs holding up a stupid mustache so that it looks like Germany's wearing it then breaking down in tears when Germany points out that from his angle, it looks like Romano's the one wearing it]]. |
| 78 | ** Depending on your interpretation of their relationship, Spain is either this, PapaWolf, or [[HoYay something]] [[ShipTease else]] entirely to Romano. |
| 79 | ** Done ''literally'' and averted with Germany and Prussia. Prussia used to be the physical personification of The Knight Templars, and is Germany's older brother, but doesn't actually ''act'' like a Knight Templar brother. |
| 80 | * In ''Manga/HunterXHunter'', Illumi Zoldyck's feelings for his younger brother Killua are...intense. He is extremely overprotective and possessive of him. Being creepy even by the standards of a family of assassins, his protectiveness manifests in twisted ways, [[spoiler:such as shoving a needle into Killua's brain to make him into a coward who will flee from any confrontation against a powerful opponent.]] Threatening Killua is also Illumi's BerserkButton. During an otherwise civil conversation, the very moment Hisoka implies he wants to kill Killua, Illumi puts on a NightmareFace and radiates a killing aura so intense that Killua can feel it from miles away. He immediately calms down when he realizes Hisoka was trolling him. Illumi only feels this way towards Killua. He seems indifferent towards Milluki and Kalluto [[spoiler:and he wants to kill/enslave Alluka.]] |
| 81 | * Tatsuya Shiba from ''Literature/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'' has this for his sister Miyuki. Even when [[LadyOfWar she's quite capable of defending herself]], it's best not to threaten her, or Tatsuya will make the culprits '''p a y'''. |
| 82 | * ''Manga/JujutsuKaisen'': |
| 83 | ** After Yuji and Nobara kill the [[HalfHumanHybrid Death Paintings]], Eso and Kechizu, their older brother Choso swears to kill them in retribution, and engages Yuji in a duel during the Shibuya Incident. [[spoiler:Though Choso emerges the victor after a difficult fight and has Yuji at his mercy, he can't bring himself to kill him after memories of himself, his brothers and Yuji sharing a meal together flood his mind, which causes Choso to walk away in abject confusion as he sweats buckets. This turns out to be {{foreshadowing}} to the fact that both Yuji and the Death Paintings are the children of [[GreaterScopeVillain Kenjaku]], [[BodySurf who once took for himself the body of Noritoshi Kamo]] and created the Death Paintings, which turned him into the BlackSheep of the Kamo Clan for centuries to come. Then, in modern times, Kenjaku [[ExtraParentConception took the body of Yuji's mother and gave birth to him]] as part of his plan to [[DesignerBabies create a vessel]] for [[TheDreaded Ryomen Sukuna]], effectively making Yuji and the Death Paintings siblings. When Choso figures out the truth, he is ''[[ThisIsUnforgivable furious]]'' that Kenjaku essentially sent his siblings to their deaths and tricked him into almost killing his brother, and becomes as fiercely protective of Yuji as he was with the rest of the Death Paintings (even addressing him as "little brother").]] |
| 84 | ** While [[SiblingRivalry she doesn't exactly get along with her sister]] even at the best of times, Maki shows that the trope applies fully after [[spoiler:[[HeroicSacrifice Mai sacrifices herself]] to help Maki gain the power she needs to kill [[AbusiveParents their abusive father Ogi]] ([[OffingTheOffspring who is trying to kill them both]]), after which Maki fulfills Mai's LastRequest and ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge wipes out the entirety of the Zen'in Clan]], [[LeaveNoSurvivors down to the last man]]'']]. |
| 85 | * Soya Sazanami from ''Manga/{{Kagurabachi}}'', is a withdrawn, tactical young man who serves as one of his father's premier henchmen in their [[TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether criminal empire]]. Should his younger brother Hakuri become involved however, his personality does a complete 180 and he becomes insane and overprotective. To protect what he sees as his younger brother's purity, he becomes determined to kill any bad influences and return him to the family to keep him safe, Hakuri's own wishes be damned. |
| 86 | * Ran Fujimiya in ''Anime/KnightHunters'' is downright obsessively protective of his ill little sister Aya. He became an assassin in large part to pay her medical bills (she's in a coma), and he is not in the least bit rational about threats to her safety. |
| 87 | * Shouri Shibuya, the protagonist's older brother, from ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh''. He always felt responsible for protecting Yuuri, so after learning his little brother's eventual fate to become the Maou of another world when both of them were children, Shouri decided to get strong enough to continue protecting him even as Maou. Unfortunately, he wasn't there yet by the time Yuuri actually went to the other world, and on top of that, his little brother found protectors ''in'' that world who were more capable than Shouri could hope to compete with. Neither of these things sat well with him, and his struggle to deal with this and learn to let Yuuri go be king is a major part of his character arc. |
| 88 | * Subverted with Seimei Aoyagi from ''Manga/{{Loveless}}''. To him, it doesn't really matter HOW you treat his younger brother Ritsuka. Seimei believes that [[{{Yandere}} Ritsuka belongs to him and will get rid of anyone in his way]]. |
| 89 | * Caren, the AloofAlly of ''Manga/MermaidMelodyPichiPichiPitch'', starts dangerously close to this, having been perfectly fine until her twin sister was kidnapped. However, while she blames and berates the good guys as well as the bad, she does do a lot of [[IWasJustPassingThrough reluctant rescues]] and admits that she was wrong instead of going off the deep end. |
| 90 | * In ''Manga/MissionYozakuraFamily,'' Kyoichiro made a mistake that badly injured Mutsumi, stressing her so badly that she gained the streak of gray in her hair. Because of this, he's resolved to protect her no matter what, beating up or murdering anyone he sees as a possible threat to her. He even says he'll simply lock her in the house where she'll be under surveillance 24/7 to ensure that she's perfectly safe. Even after Taiyo marries Mutsumi, Kyoichiro continues to seethe with animosity for him and wonders if he can MakeItLookLikeAnAccident. His obsession with Mutsumi is so extreme that he goes into withdrawal and gets tremors when he's separated from her for too long. |
| 91 | * ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'': |
| 92 | ** Kankuro becomes one of these as a part of his CharacterDevelopment, reacting violently to anyone who badmouths his little brother Gaara in front of him and going after Gaara alone after [[MadArtist Deidara]] and Sasori of Akatsuki kidnap him and Kankuro's teammates are nearly all killed in an explosion. Given that Gaara used to be an AxCrazy psychopath who regularly threatened to kill Kankuro, this is quite a drastic change. Sadly, it all goes horribly wrong when poor Kankuro [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter gets his arse handed to him by Sasori]], and Sakura barely manages to save him. |
| 93 | ** Kinkaku seems to fit here as well. He and his brother, Ginkaku, are SiblingsInCrime who work well together. Ginkaku's most used word in his life being his brother's name. In their battle, Ginkaku is backed into a corner, and he calls for his brother's help, but him saying his brother's name gets him sealed, as he wasn't supposed to say his most-used word at the time. In response to this, Kinkaku flies into a rage [[spoiler: and undergoes bijuu transformation.]] Kakuzu, who is nearby, states something must have happened to Ginkaku because it's been ages since he saw Kinkaku in such a state. Darui apologizes to Kinkaku, but he just states it's too late and attacks anyhow, and rips through the division like crazy. Special preparations had to be made in bringing down Kinkaku, with the Raikage stating he was unstoppable otherwise. Prior to Ginkaku's sealing, Kinkaku was rather stoic, [[http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/silverfang2/29185537/579986/579986_1000.png averted in the anime]]. |
| 94 | ** There's also the Raikage. When he is told his brother Killer Bee was killed by Akatsuki, his response was to call an international meeting to stop Akatsuki. When he found Sasuke, he became so bent on revenge that he didn't even care if he [[spoiler:lost his arm]] to kill him. And [[spoiler:his leg]], too, if Gaara hadn't stopped him. It's also possible that, despite all that, if Gaara hadn't stopped him, Sasuke would have ''died.'' |
| 95 | ** [[spoiler:Itachi Uchiha]] towards [[spoiler:Sasuke ''and'' the Leaf Village.]] The whole Uchiha Massacre episode was set up to [[spoiler:protect Konoha from the coup d'etat his own father was planning, and though he was able to kill both of his parents, his best friend, ''and'' his girlfriend, he couldn't bring himself to kill Sasuke]]. He even went so far as to threaten to ''leak the village's information to every rival village'' if [[spoiler:Sasuke was ever hurt due to something the leaders of Konoha had done or ordered]]. Let's not even discuss the deal with their fight to the death or the fact that [[spoiler:Itachi let Naruto get away from him after said IdiotHero promised to straighten the then-rogue Sasuke out]]. And after what happened to Madara when Sasuke [[spoiler:saw his Sharingan]], it's rather [[AndIMustScream frightening]] to imagine the exact consequences of someone doing anything to [[spoiler:permanently injure Sasuke.]] |
| 96 | ** Neji Hyuga becomes this for his younger cousin Hinata in ''Manga/RockLeesSpringtimeOfYouth'', where he beats up and kicks everyone who wrongs Hinata. He mostly does it to Naruto, because Naruto obliviously says inappropriate things to Hinata, which leads to Neji beating the crap out of Naruto. There is also this instance where Hinata timidly approaches Naruto, Neji, and Lee. Neji tells Naruto and Lee to be patient with her and wait for her to speak. More than twenty minutes pass and then Hinata finally gathers the courage to say something about the weather, which makes Naruto and Lee burst out ''That was it?!'', making Hinata feel bad and depressed, which makes Neji kick Naruto and Lee into space. |
| 97 | * ''Manga/NinjaGirlAndSamuraiMaster'': Nobunaga is this in regards to his sister Oichi. When Hideyoshi decides to "describe" Oichi by giving out her three measurements, Nobunaga's reaction is to point his gun at him. |
| 98 | * ''Manga/{{Nisekoi}}'': Haru, Onodera's little sister, is incredibly hostile towards Raku, the boy who Onodera has a crush on, due to his rumors and reputation of being a sort of Yakuza prince and playboy. |
| 99 | * ''Manga/OnePiece'': |
| 100 | ** It's the younger brother, Monkey D. Luffy, that deploys this behavior. He goes on a ''rampage'' once he hears that his older brother, Portgas D. Ace, has been taken captive by the [[TheGovernment World Government]] and is on death row. He not only breaks into the heavily-guarded Impel Down and nearly gets himself killed by trying to go against the BigBad Magellan, but also decides to go further to the Marine HQ when he [[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle fails to make it in time to prevent his brother from being transferred to his execution site]]. He also gets furious when he comes face-to-face with the man responsible for his brother's capture. When Luffy is taunted that part of the reason that Ace went up against the man is that he [[AndYourLittleDogToo threatened to kill Luffy and turn him in for his bounty]], Luffy [[UnstoppableRage loses control, attempts to flatten him]], and has to be reminded that saving his brother is more important than avenging his defeat. |
| 101 | ** Played straight with the older brother Ace. When he found out that Luffy was being targeted, [[BigBrotherInstinct he wasn't]] [[http://read.mangashare.com/One-Piece/chapter-440/page014.html pleased at all]]. |
| 102 | ** Rounding out the brothers is [[spoiler:the not-quite-dead Sabo. There isn't ''anything'' Sabo wouldn't do for Luffy, his precious baby brother and, with Ace's death, [[FamilyOfChoice the only family he has left in the world.]] In fact, the only reason Sabo hadn't joined the war to save Ace is because of amnesia -- which was only cleared up when he read an article ''detailing Ace's death''. Hence, Sabo is willing to cut a bloody swathe throughout the entire damn world if it meant protecting his only remaining brother]]. |
| 103 | ** For an example not directly related to Luffy, look no further than Charlotte Katakuri, the second son of Big Mom and one of her [[CoDragons Three Sweet Commanders.]] As a child he was bullied over his GlasgowGrin, but even then he contented himself with beating up the bullies and calling it a day. Then one day the bullies [[RevengeByProxy scarred the face of his younger sister Brulee]], and in retribution Katakuri, [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior who was 10 at the time]], ''[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge murdered every last one of them]]''. He came to the conclusion that his sister suffered because people did not fear him enough, and thus resolved to become strong enough that [[TheDreaded no one would dare hurt any of his siblings again.]] To this day [[MyGreatestFailure he is still ashamed over the incident]] and covers his mouth in order to prevent it from repeating, but Katakuri remains as fiercely protective of his siblings as he was on that day, [[BerserkButton and will retaliate with bloody murder upon anyone foolish enough to hurt them.]] |
| 104 | * ''Manga/OnePunchMan'': Tatsumaki is known to be fiercely protective of her younger sister Fubuki, to the point of threatening the lives of Fubuki's friends just because she thinks they're a bad influence on her. |
| 105 | * Deconstructed in ''Anime/OvermanKingGainer'': [[BigBad Asuham Boone]] will react violently (and {{disproportionate|Retribution}}ly) towards any slight to his younger sister Karin, even minor or ''imagined'' ones. The whole reason why he wants to capture [[TheLancer Gain]] and thwart the Exodus is that he had convinced himself that Gain had seduced and abandoned her, [[spoiler:while the truth is that Gain and Karin had a one-night stand and Asuham overreacted]]. It gets so bad that [[spoiler:during the last episodes, Asuham goes insane with rage and decides to destroy both Gain and the Exodists by awakening the Overdevil, a world-ending EldritchAbomination]]. He gets better, though... Perhaps [[KarmaHoudini too much]]. |
| 106 | * ''Manga/PandoraHearts'': |
| 107 | ** Vincent Nightray is one year younger than his brother Gilbert, but his [[{{Yandere}} obsessive]] [[IncestSubtext love]] for him definitely qualifies for the trope. When they were children, [[spoiler: Vincent used his [[ApocalypseMaiden Apocalypse Lad]] powers to destroy ''a city'' in order to save his brother.]] In present time, Vincent's stated goal is to [[spoiler: [[SuicideForOthersHappiness erase his own existence so that Gilbert will be happier.]]]] |
| 108 | ** Another possibility is Xerxes Break, towards Sharon Rainsworth. While it's not specified if they had romantic feelings for each other or simply a strong familial connection, on the event of the latter, Break certainly qualifies. [[spoiler: When Sharon is struck in the face by a Baskerville while trying to protect him, Break, despite being damn near ''collapsing'' from the strain on his body, absolutely refuses to stop massacring the Baskervilles until he avenges her resulting injury.]] |
| 109 | * [[spoiler: Kanba Takakura]] from ''Anime/{{Penguindrum}}'', as of episode 21. [[spoiler: It ends with his RedemptionEqualsDeath.]] |
| 110 | * During the years of ''Anime/PrettyCure'', many of the Cures who have siblings got angry when a villain dared to attack those said siblings, but the only one who got ''really'' mad was none other than [[Anime/FutariWaPrettyCure Cure Black]], who actually ''killed'' a villain (Gekidrago) for revenge of hurting her AnnoyingYoungerSibling. |
| 111 | * Shuzen Akua/Akua Shuzen from ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire''. So much as threaten her little sisters, and ''you die'', regardless of who you are. Even her [[spoiler: grandfather, the super-powerful and ancient vampire Alucard.]] |
| 112 | * Inverted in ''Manga/RurouniKenshin'' in that Enishi is a Knight Templar ''Little'' Brother. So concerned about his older sister's well-being and so seething with pure hatred toward his brother-in-law for [[spoiler: killing Tomoe's fiance]] that Enishi collaborated with a league of Shogun assassins alongside his sister in order to kill Kenshin - and this was while he was ''nine''. [[spoiler: After witnessing Kenshin's (accidental) killing of Tomoe, Enishi's hair went white from shock and stress and he dedicated his life to taking {{revenge}} on the man who killed his sister (going as far as selling weapons on the black market to fund his plans) as he felt he had nothing left.]] |
| 113 | * ''Manga/SaintSeiya'': Phoenix Ikki gets really violent when his little brother Andromeda Shun is involved, to the point that putting Shun in life-threatening danger became the default way to work Ikki into any given storyline. |
| 114 | * Kagetsu of ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'' adores his little sister Sara. So much so, that when the PowersThatBe give her as an offering to a powerful sentient magical artifact, he steals the artifact at the risk of causing the collapse of his world to save her. |
| 115 | * Kayo's brother in the ''Manga/VampirePrincessMiyu'' TV series has a BigBrotherInstinct at first and then becomes this, trying to kill Miyu for getting close to his baby sister. |
| 116 | * This trope is revealed to be [[spoiler: Folken Lacour de Fanel]]'s main motivation in ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne''. [[spoiler: Having failed to pass the Dragon rite (and having been mutilated in the process), Folken joined Dornkirk in hopes that he could create a world where his younger brother Van won't have to fight as king.]] |
| 117 | * ''Anime/YuGiOh'': |
| 118 | ** Yami Yugi is this towards Yugi (and later, Yugi's friends as well) in the earlier issues of the manga and season 0 of the anime, viciously destroying anyone (both teenage and adult) who bullies or otherwise hurts them by playing sadistic games or by invoking magical penalty games that [[MindRape drive them insane.]] Sometimes the bullies' actions are severe enough to warrant it, but most are DisproportionateRetribution. He also shows this to a lesser degree in the Duel Monsters anime, particularly in season 1 [[MoralityPet (before Yugi's influence mellows him out)]], and in season 4 [[MoralityChain (when Yugi's soul is stolen.)]] |
| 119 | ** And then, from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', there's Judai/Jaden's childhood spirit partner, Yubel; whereas Yami at least retaliated against people who geniunely meant Yugi harm, Yubel would indiscrimately put people in comas [[DisproportionateRetribution just for beating Judai in a duel]], to the point where nobody wanted to duel or be friends with him. It got so bad that Judai ended up putting their card into a deck that was being sent off to space ([[ItMakesSenseInContext long]] [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext story]]). Unfortunately, due to the influence of the [[LightIsNotGood Light of Destruction]], this only made Yubel ''[[{{Understatement}} worse]]''. |

| 125 | * ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'': [[Characters/NightwingDickGrayson Nightwing]] once ''killed'' [[Characters/BatmanTheJoker the Joker]] with his ''bare hands'' when he thought he killed [[Characters/RobinTimDrake Robin]]. Characters/{{Batman|TheCharacter}} quickly revived the Joker afterwards, but even still. |
| 126 | * ''ComicBook/DestroyerDuck'': Beryl is prone to get rough to protect her younger sister Opal from anyone. |
| 127 | * ''ComicBook/{{Finder}}'': Lynne to Marcie. He wouldn't give his older sister Rachel the time of day, though because he figured out she's only his half-sibling and isn't actually a halfbreed like him and Marcie. |
| 128 | * ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'': [[Characters/MarvelComicsThorOdinson Thor]]'s brother [[Characters/MarvelComicsLoki Loki]] is a manipulative, deceitful god of lies and mischief, and he often does bad things and sometimes gets punished for them... but if you dare hurt him unjustly Thor will smite you from the face of the Earth. |
| 129 | * ''ComicBook/SheHulk'': Characters/SheHulk and the [[Characters/MarvelComicsBruceBanner Hulk]] are cousins, but they have a Brother/Sister relationship. She-Hulk can take care of herself most of the time, but pity the poor fool who harms She-Hulk within proximity of The Hulk. She-Hulk herself can be extremely overprotective of The Hulk as well. ComicBook/IronMan got his ass handed to him by She-Hulk when she found out Stark [[ComicBook/PlanetHulk exiled Hulk into space]]. |
| 130 | * ''ComicBook/StrangersInParadise'': Katina Choovanski is quite capable of taking care of herself, but her crimelord sister still keeps interfering in her life - sometimes by [[VillainyDiscretionShot killing people horribly]] because they tried to hurt Katchoo, sometimes by trying to ensure that she ends up with the "right" love interest. Our heroine does not appreciate this. |
| 131 | * ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': [[Characters/SupermanTheCharacter Kal]] and [[Characters/SupergirlTheCharacter Kara]] are cousins but have a sibling-like relationship which is even closer than usual due to being the last ones of their kind. Hurt her and Superman ''will'' [[ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton2004 pummel you and pin you to the physical limit of the universe]], even if you are a [[ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} god of Evil]]. Hurt him and Supergirl ''will'' beat you to death, even if [[ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths you are a multiverse-eater]]. |
| 132 | * ''ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage'': Raphael, while not being the most [[SociopathicHero even-tempered]] character, is psychotically protective of his little brother Michelangelo -- to the point where he states that the "thought of Mikey being hurt makes him experience violent rage" (see [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]]). And considering how violent Raphael is usually... |
| 133 | * ''ComicBook/XMen'': ComicBook/{{Colossus}} will go through hell and back for his siblings, especially toward his sister ComicBook/{{Magik}}, to the point where he allowed himself to be possessed by the demon Cytorrak and became the new Juggernaut to protect her, losing his humanity and the love of Kitty Pryde in the bargain. |
| 134 | ** Subverted in ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' when Illyana reveals she had manipulated him into becoming the new Juggernaut to make him see that she wasn't his sweet little sister anymore but a monster he shouldn't care for. Right off the bat Colossus vows that he would kill Illyana if they ever met again, but later they make up. |

| 136 | |
| 137 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 138 | * ''Fanfic/WeAllNeedAHero'' inverts this trope with the Yagami siblings. Sayu is so aggrieved by the idea of her older brother Light wasting his incredible potential on an unrewarding police career that she's willing to embark on a one-girl war against crime to prevent it. |
| 139 | --> '''Ryuk:''' And so you think by wiping out crime, you’ll save them. Daddy and your big brother will be free from their obligations and you’ll be a nice happy family again. But how many people are you willing to kill to make that happen, kid? \ |
| 140 | '''Sayu:''' [[WellIntentionedExtremist As many as it takes.]] |
| 141 | * In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3645440/1/ "The Red Monarch"]], Sousuke Miyabe is one for his little sibling [[OriginalCharacter Tatsuki]]. To put things into perspective, 10 years ago, he [[spoiler: kills several Center agents, nearly kills M.O.M and [[OriginalCharacter Colin Price]] and kills his own parents when they try to protect Colin.]] Tatsuki saw ALL OF THIS, which comes back in literal nightmares. To get the full story, if you read the spoilers, read [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3645440/1/The_Red_Monarch/ The Red Monarch]] until you reach the most recent chapter, as it is still ongoing.

| 142 | * In "Murderer's Row", a [[AlternateUniverse Prison AU]] of ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'', Grif and Simmons were thrown in prison for murdering a man who hospitalized Sister. |
| 143 | * In ''Fanfic/MagicaMadokaVeneficusPuella'', Sayaka adopts an orphan. Someone kidnaps her. Do the math. |
| 144 | * In ''Fanfic/KitsuneNoKenFistOfTheFox'', Neji is a Knight Templar Older Cousin for Hinata, going to varying lengths to keep Naruto away from her, up to and including attempting to manipulate events so Naruto will get kicked out of Konoha High School. Hiashi approves, especially after they find out Naruto was one of the legendary Nine Terrors, but Hinata herself is not pleased. |
| 145 | * ''Fanfic/ThisBites'': |
| 146 | ** Ace, as per canon. Cross has a distinctly ThisIsGonnaSuck reaction when he's about to reveal to Ace and Luffy that [[spoiler: their other brother Sabo is still alive]] because he knows that not only will Ace not believe him but will see it as nothing more than an extremely cruel manipulation. Cross promptly gets subjected to near-strangulation and the full force of Ace's Conqueror's Haki. This is the ''best-case scenario'' Cross imagined - Luffy later confirms that if Cross had gone about it with any less delicacy he would likely be dead. |
| 147 | ** When [[spoiler: the SBS accidentally broadcasts ''everything'' that happens on [[Film/BaronOmatsuriAndTheSecretIsland Omatsuri Island]]]], the people who are traveling with Ace have to constantly keep up their own Haki to avoid being incinerated just from standing near him. |
| 148 | * In the ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' post-series fanfic ''Fanfic/BeyondTheWindingRoad'', Anderson is this to Oz, doubting that Oz can take care of himself due to his past mental health issues. He goes after Gilbert, whom he sees as a stalker, with all the viciousness of a bull shark. It's sort of justifiable, though, as Oz is implied to have had problems with stalkers in the past and had too many psychological issues than to deal with it himself. Anderson even accuses Gilbert of going along with his brother's "delusions" just so he can find a psychological trigger. |
| 149 | * In the ''Anime/{{Bleach}}'' PeggySue fic ''Fanfic/HogyokuExMachina'', when Ichigo learns of Toshiro Hitsugaya's interaction with his sister Karin (soccer game, anime filler), and is led to believe that she had developed a crush on her, the first words out of his mouth are "He dies." Toshiro, who is eavesdropping along with many others, is understandably disturbed. Later, after Ichigo reenters the Final Getsuga Tensho form... What makes this particularly effective? Ichigo always addressed the Squad 10 captain as Toshiro, regardless of how many times the latter demanded to be called Hitsugaya-taicho instead. The circumstances surrounding the above interaction make it so that, when he finally uses the preferred title, the captain immediately begins praying that Ichigo would call him Toshiro again. |
| 150 | -->'''Ichigo:''' You saw everything? All of you?\ |
| 151 | ''[Yamamoto nods]''\ |
| 152 | '''Ichigo:''' Good. Hitsugaya-taicho.\ |
| 153 | ''[{{flash step}}s next to Toshiro and puts his hand on his shoulder, one finger dangerously close to his neck, and the cloth Ichigo is touching begins to burn away from contact with Ichigo's PhysicalGod state]''\ |
| 154 | '''Ichigo:''' Stay out of the living world. |
| 155 | * In ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' fic ''[[Fanfic/ThePartsWePlay Spectator]]'', Peeta and Thresh act as this for Prim and Rue respectively, Thresh making it clear that he doesn’t want to hurt Rue (leaving it open to the viewers’ interpretation what he’d do if it comes down to just the two of them) and Peeta vowing that he’ll make sure Prim gets home for Katniss's sake even if he has to die for her. |
| 156 | * ''Fanfic/{{Rules}}'': Deconstructed. Light tries to rationalize his use of the Death Note as a way to protect Sayu. [[spoiler:A bad car accident later, Light almost kills the innocent drivers of the other car with the Death Note. After Elijah/L manages to make him see sense, Light comes to the bitter realization that even if he manages to make sure ''criminals'' will never harm Sayu, he can do nothing to stop random accidents or diseases from doing the same]]. |
| 157 | * ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'': Belladonna is murderously protective of her girlfriends, so it is no surprise she is this for her [[spoiler: potential half-brother Ash. When she learns that he has suffered loss at the hands of a jerk, she vows to make that person pay]]. |
| 158 | ** The older Eevee Brothers also show shades of this, as they become a tad aggressive towards Ash when he shows up at their party, thinking that if their little brother Mikey tries to emulate him by ''not'' evolving his Pokémon, he's taking a huge risk of failing as a trainer. |
| 159 | * Jon is this to Abby in ''Fanfic/LegacySeries.'' If you so much as lay a finger on her without her consent, he will get very, very protective. And since he's the new incarnation of [[BadassNormal the Arrow]], you ''really'' don't want him mad at you. |
| 160 | * In [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/33271750 a prequel Craig Of The Creek fanfiction]] inspired by the South Park episode "The Poor Kid", Wildernessa develops her Wildernessa persona as a means of protecting her younger brother, and it shows quite well when some kids pick on him. She later uses her persona when she becomes the protector of the animals of the Creek. |
| 161 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'' RuleSixtyThree fanfic ''Fanfic/OneGirlWithTenBrothers'', Linka's overly-protective brothers go into this when she goes on a date with Robbie Dan (Ronnie Anne's [[GenderBender male counterpart]]), who used to bully Linka. |
| 162 | * ''Fanfic/CallOfDarkness'': |
| 163 | * Chase, Rex, and Ryuusei all show signs of being protective of Seika, but none so much as Ryuusei. Even when he was trapped in the Spirit World, the mere threat of a Summer King angry at her for offending his little sister Seika was enough to cause Marguerite to back down. |
| 164 | ** Also the case with Yukio Yamada. His primary concern for demanding to kill Kiyoshi is because Kiyoshi tried to kill his twin and his cousin. Later, Chase has insight into Yukio's motivations to protect his twin brother and cousin, but find Seika lacking, because he doesn't know if she can measure up to provide adequately for all three of the Yamada cousins. |
| 165 | * In ''Fanfic/KaraOfRokyn'', hurting Kara is one of the few things that might make Superman drop his pacifist stance. |
| 166 | -->'''Superman:''' That crazy Lex Luthor, if he really had hurt you, I don't know if I could keep that oath about not harming anybody. |
| 167 | * Ren from ''Fanfic/AGiftOfLove'' loves his sister Lien. Don't look at Lien the wrong way. In fact, don’t even look at her. You’ll die for it. |
| 168 | * In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/18939673?view_full_work=true Run Girl Run]]'', an [=AU=] fic where Series/TheUmbrellaAcademy are supervillains, they retain their canonical protectiveness of little [[TheTeamNormal Vanya]]...but it's warped. When she has trouble sleeping, they offer to brainwash her into doing it. When she runs away from them and their blood-bought luxuries, they put a bounty on her head. |
| 169 | * Parodied in [[https://beefbulgogi.tumblr.com/post/158918606623/w-p5-coming-out-soon-i-was-inspired-to-draw-my this Persona 5 comic]]. Yusuke asks the Joker for his blessing to date Futaba. Joker responds by grabbing Yusuke by his shirt and holding a knife to his throat, questioning what did Yusuke do to his baby sister. And then Futaba steps in and asks what they are doing in a deadpanned tone since this was 4th time this happened (meaning the entire series of events was most likely an act). |
| 170 | * PlayedForDrama in ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/25072903/chapters/60732211 Family]]'', where Goro and Futaba are half-siblings through Shido, and Goro was adopted by Wakaba. After Wakaba's suicide and Futaba being framed as a cause of her death that led to strings of abuse from her relatives causing her deep trauma, Goro has become greatly protective of her. So when Ren asks him and Sojiro about her (which should be impossible since she remains hidden in their home), Goro freaks out and slams his wall to trap Ren, furiously demanding the other boy to tell him how he learned of her. It's only when he sees Ren's terrified reaction that [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Goro pulls back]]. |
| 171 | * In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12348367/1/Dead-Last-Blossom Dead Last Blossom]]'', Kakashi and Obito are brother figures to Naruto and Sasuke. During one of Team 7's mission reports, they run into Kakashi, and he recognizes something is wrong when Naruto swats away an AffectionateGestureToTheHead. He then deduces that it is because Naruto doesn't want that side shown to his third teammate [[GenderFlip Sakuya]][[note]]Sakuya often tries to solve missions on his own instead of talking with his teammates, while Naruto is distrustful of any outsider thanks to being the Hokage's son and the Kyuubi's container[[/note]], and id the boy as a stress factor to the blonde. Obito quickly realizes Kakashi's conclusion and steps in to protect his student from any hostility from his old teammate. |
| 172 | * Archer in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7412923/1/Lancer-Gets-Serious Lancer Gets Serious]]'' collaborate with Caster in secret for his own long-term plans. That is until he discovered that Caster had taken control of Berserker [[spoiler:after capturing Illya due to being the Lesser Grail, then he starts his counterattack[[note]]For context, Illya is Shirou's/Archer's older sister[[/note]]]]. |
| 173 | * Katsuki Bakugo in ''Fanfic/{{Viridescent}}'' might still be an arrogant [[TheAce ace]] like in canon, but here he is also a BigBrotherMentor for Izuku. When the Sports Tournament match between Izuku and Todoroki [[spoiler:pushed Izuku into using his quirk at max power, revealing him as the son of feared villain Heat Viper]], Bakugo faces off against Todoroki in an [[OutOfCharacterAlert unexpected]] TranquilFury as he seemingly trashes Todoroki in their match [[CurbStompBattle effortless]], when in truth pushing his own body to the limit with his explosive quirk. |

He proves this multiple times throughout the movie, especially when he goes on a [[RoaringRampageofRevenge murderous rampage]] against Detroit crimelord Victor Sweet and his cronies after [[spoiler: the murder of youngest brother Jack]]. |
| 188 | * The titular character of ''Film/GingerSnaps'' starts out as a Knight Templar Big Sister and gets steadily worse over the course of the movie, as her transformation into a werewolf makes her more and more aggressive. For example, she kills the janitor because she thought she saw him look down Brigitte's top earlier in the movie. |

| 205 | * ''Literature/CalLeandros'': |
| 206 | ** Niko Leandros would burn the world to protect his brother. The only reason Cal ever gets near to any combat is that Nico is a firm believer that the only way to be ready for combat is to actually participate in it. |
| 207 | ** Cal reciprocates the sentiment just as strongly. And considering he's slowly slipping into a [[SociopathicHero Sociopathic Type V]] AntiHero over the course of the series with Niko as his sole MoralityChain...the question isn't ''if'' he kills you, but how much he'll make it hurt before he does so. |
| 208 | * ''Literature/ACourtOfThornsAndRoses'': After her young sister was tortured and killed, Amarantha was obsessed with getting revenge on the murderer, fighting an entire army to get to Jurian.

| 209 | * ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': You do NOT mess with Thomas Raith's siblings, not even if you're their father. Especially his younger sibling[[spoiler:s Inari and Harry (who, though younger, reciprocates the sentiment as the RelativeButton is a pretty big frickin' deal to him)]]. |

| 211 | * Thresh in ''Literature/TheHungerGames'' seemed to take Rue, the girl from his district, in as a sister because when she died, he was infuriated by her death. During the feast, Thresh overhears Clove bragging about Rue's death to Katniss. He then kills Clove to avenge Rue. |
| 212 | * Max in ''Literature/MaximumRide''. She's normally a calm and easy-going person. However, she treats the flock like her own brothers and sisters. If you're foolish enough to [[TemptingFate threaten one of them]], you're gonna regret it. |
| 213 | * In ''Literature/LeMorteDArthur'', [[spoiler: Gawain]] goes absolutely berserk after [[spoiler: Gareth, his youngest and most innocent sibling,]] dies, swearing to kill [[spoiler: Lancelot]] for it. [[spoiler: He changes his mind before dying.]] |

Charlie also tried to block the court orders Roseanne sought to keep Daniel away from her and Bella, believing it was wrong of Roseanne to take Daniel's child away from him. [[spoiler:When the protagonists realise Daniel has [[MissingChild Johnny]] in Rehoboth Beach, Roseanne warns them not to contact the local police, believing that Charlie would warn Daniel and make him panic]]. |
| 216 | * If you decide to [[spoiler: kill and eat]] [[Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs Hannibal Lecter]]'s baby sister, don't be surprised when her brother tracks you down and makes a shish-kebab of your cheeks. With mushrooms. |
| 217 | * ''Literature/WingsOfFire'': Darkstalker's father, Arctic, kidnaps and mind controls his sister Whiteout. Darkstalker responds by doing a mind-control spell on Arctic himself and [[spoiler: [[PsychicAssistedSuicide forcing him to disembowel himself with his own claws.]]]] |
| 218 | * ''Literature/WonderWomanWarbringer'': Jason has lots and lots of security hired, and is paranoid about Alia's safety. [[spoiler: After TheReveal of his true intentions, it's questionable whether he actually wanted to protect Alia for any reason beyond ensuring she lived long enough to start the war she's destined to bring]]. |

| 221 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 222 | * In ''Series/{{Arrow}}'', Oliver's sister Thea takes a new drug called Vertigo and drives under the influence due to family issues. So Oliver does the reasonable thing and visits her in the hospital, and then he tries to support her legally, especially after the judge wants to make an example of her, and tries to help resolve the family issue that led to the car crash. So why is this entry here? Because he also [[spoiler:tracks down the drug lord that made the drug and sells it, known as The Count, and injects him with the very drug in its purest form in an insanely large quantity, leaving him insane due to the drug making him imagine being in the most excruciating pain possible. The episode ends with him spasming violently and screaming strapped to a hospital stretcher as a doctor explains his extreme condition.]] And he never got NEAR Thea, only being an indirect cause! |
| 223 | * Cesare [[Series/TheBorgias Borgia]] is this to a somewhat frightening degree in regards to his younger sister Lucrezia. By the third episode, he's threatening to cut her husband-to-be's heart out with a dinner knife if he's "ungallant". He shows some signs of this towards one of his younger brothers, Gioffre. [[CainandAbel Not so much with Juan.]] |
| 224 | * ''Series/{{Bridgerton}}'': the eldest child, Anthony Bridgerton, is famously this. In season 1, he shut down all of his sister, Daphne's, suitors. He's even more outraged upon finding out about Daphne and Simon Basset (his best friend and a notorious rake) getting closer. [[spoiler:When he catches her making out with Simon, he calls for a duel between them in a misguided attempt to protect Daphne's honor]]. He even gets into a bloody fight with his own brother-in-law upon sensing the trouble in her sister's marriage. |
| 225 | * ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': |
| 226 | ** Buffy warns her friends in the Season 5 finale that she will kill anyone who tries to lay a hand on her little sister, [[BarrierMaiden Dawn]], TrueCompanions included, even though Dawn's death [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl might prevent the apocalypse]], and Dawn is [[CosmicRetcon a magical creation]] [[YoungerThanTheyLook only a few months old]] instead of a natural-born sibling. |
| 227 | ** In Season 2, Willow is kidnapped by a group of vampires looking to revive [[BigBad The Master]], intending to use her (and a few others) as a human sacrifice. Xander, who blames this on Buffy being depressed and distracted after being clinically dead, threatens to "kill [her] myself" if Willow isn't rescued unharmed. |
| 228 | * Jing Tian from ''Chinese Paladin 3'' boomerangs from having a simple BigBrotherInstinct to full-on Knight Templarhood. For example, his reaction to seeing his best friend "threatening" his little sister with a HealingShiv is to attack and nearly kill him. |
| 229 | * ''Series/BurnNotice'': |
| 230 | ** ''Do not'' pick on Nate, Michael Westen's little brother. It is unhealthy. [[spoiler:As those involved with Nate's assassination in Season 6 discovered]]. |
| 231 | ** In the episode "Comrades", there is a deconstruction. Michael meets a Russian woman named Katya whose little sister Elena is kidnapped by the Russian Mafia. Michael has to convince her that being a vengeful big sister might not actually be in the little sister's interest. |
| 232 | * ''Series/{{Carnivale}}'': Don't get in between Iris Crowe's little brother and...anything. Just don't. |
| 233 | * ''Series/{{Chuck}}'': No matter how he tries to negate it, John Casey seems to take that road in regards to Chuck, even though he always claims it's to protect the Intersect. The Casey Doth Protest Too Much, indeed. |
| 234 | * ''Series/{{Firefly}}'': Don't mess with Simon's little sister. Just don't. And don't mess with River's big brother. [[CurbStompBattle Pity the poor Reavers]]. |
| 235 | * ''{{Series/Friends}}'' -- Ross attempts to be this to Monica after she got engaged to Chandler, stating that if Chandler ever hurt her, he was going to "...hunt him down, and KICK HIS ASS!". The rest of the friends (including Chandler himself) found this hysterical. |
| 236 | * ''Series/GameOfThrones'': Jaime plays the role of "the protector" to both of his siblings, who are disabled and [[NoWomansLand female]] respectively. As the able-bodied brother, he has spent a lifetime protecting both of them. He's one of the very few people who genuinely loves and cares for Tyrion, and he thus reacts badly when Tyrion's safety is threatened. Cersei also mentions that he would have killed Robert if he found out about the DomesticAbuse in "You Win or You Die". Given that his siblings hate each other, this sometimes gets messy between the three of them. He refuses to kill Tyrion when Cersei asks him to after Joffrey's death. |
| 237 | -->'''Jaime:''' He's my brother. He's ''our'' brother. |
| 238 | * BigBad Kanzaki Shirou from ''Series/KamenRiderRyuki'' very definitely fits this trope. His whole EvilPlan was just one big scheme to [[spoiler:save his little sister from dying.]] |
| 239 | * Reika Shindai in ''Series/KamenRiderSaber'' is definitely this, despite being a ''little sister''. God forbid you should even get too close to her older brother or be another woman interested in him, lest you incur her wrath. |
| 240 | * It is revealed in one episode of ''Series/MalcolmInTheMiddle'' that Reese is this to Malcolm, and that was the only thing keeping him from getting beat up for his smart mouth. Malcolm finds this out when his brother decides to be nice for the rest of his life. |
| 241 | * ''Series/MrRobot'': Even if she is his younger sibling, Darlene will not let anyone manipulate and hurt her older brother Elliot and use his mental illness against him. She was slightly mad at Angela, whom Elliot was in love with for using his split personality for Stage 2 plan and working with the Dark Army behind their backs. |
| 242 | * Don Eppes of ''Series/{{NUMB3RS}}''. Not just towards Charlie, even (although Charlie is definitely the primary trigger for this). Don behaves like this towards the team in general. |
| 243 | ** "Trust Metric": When given a choice between boarding a foreign ship illegally and possibly letting Colby die, the ''only'' question Don poses to make the choice is whether Colby's death is a likely outcome or not. The fact that a rescue operation would require breaking international law is clearly not relevant to him. |
| 244 | ** Watch very carefully when Don blows up at Nikki in "The Decoy Effect". It's not the case he's worried about, it's that Nikki could have been hurt or killed. |
| 245 | * Though he isn't the oldest, Tommy Shelby of ''Series/PeakyBlinders'' is very overprotective of his younger siblings, especially Ada and [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Finn]] -- in fact, much of Season One is taken up with Tommy doing his damndest to get Freddie Thorne away from his sister because he believes Freddie is just using Ada to get at the Peaky Blinders and leak information to his Communist allies. It's only towards the end of the season that he finally decides to let them be together when he's convinced Freddie loves Ada more than anything. |
| 246 | * ''Series/PrisonBreak'': Don't mess with Linc or Michael will come up with an elaborate plan to destroy you. Don't mess with Michael or Linc will kick your ass. |
| 247 | * ''Series/SonsOfAnarchy'': At six years old Abel is shaping up to be one that would make even Buffy the Vampire Slayer herself scared: after learning Gemma killed his mother he attacks another boy, claiming it an ''accident.'' He is caught swinging a hammer around to protect his younger brother Thomas. When Gemma is given birds as a gift he takes a page from [[Film/TheGodfather Vito Corleone]] and kills them before putting them in her bed, then goes one step further by stabbing his toys and painting threats on the wall. And to top it off he reveals to Jax what happened. |
| 248 | * ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' has the Winchester brothers. ''Both'' of them. |
| 249 | ** If you ''think'' of putting even a ''single finger'' on Sammy, you should be fist ''and'' gun proof. Or, if you're an angel, [[ShameIfSomethingHappened messing]] with [[AndYourLittleDogToo Sam]] to get Dean's agreement is a [[BerserkButton very bad idea]]. |
| 250 | ** After making Sam watch Dean die over a hundred times in one episode to try to desensitize Sam to losing Dean (it doesn't work; after Lilith kills Dean, Sam turns to TheDarkSide for vengeance and the power to [[UnwittingPawn save the world]]) the Trickster[[spoiler:/Gabriel]] comments that: |
| 251 | -->"Whoever said Dean was the dysfunctional one has never seen you with a sharp object in your hands." |
| 252 | ** You probably don't want to mess with Castiel on Dean's watch (or vice versa) either, although they are more like unofficially adopted siblings |
| 253 | ** Lucifer and Michael might have been trying to destroy one another, but Lucifer got pretty vengeful when Castiel Molotov'd Michael. |
| 254 | * Justin, from ''Series/WizardsOfWaverlyPlace'', tells his younger sister, Alex, that he always thought he would intimidate her boyfriends if they got out of line, and in "Wizards vs. Werewolves" he fights Mason (who is in full werewolf mode) for her ''with his bare hands''. |
| 255 | * In ''Series/TheXFiles'', Scully's big brother Bill. It's really annoying since this is a woman who has been shown to be able to handle herself time and time again amongst a predominantly male-oriented workplace. She goes out of her way to never be accused of special treatment because she's a woman. And yet she lets Bill push Mulder around all the time. |
| 256 | ** It's not all the time. Bill and Mulder meet about twice in the entire course of the series, and though Bill bad-mouths Mulder, the fights between the men usually happen when she's not around. Mulder is capable of holding his own in those fights. The annoyance of this trope comes more from the fact that Bill is making assumptions with half the story. |
| 257 | ** Also slightly justified when it comes out that Bill has always acted like this as a result of having to be "the man of the house" when his father was away at sea, and that Dana has always taken his opinion with a grain of salt. It's not only Mulder Bill has a problem with, but her having a life different from what was expected of her: joining the FBI rather than practicing medicine, not getting married, [[spoiler: having a child out of wedlock]]...Mulder is only a part of it, though a substantial part. |
| 258 | ** And though his little sister is gone for the entire series, Mulder could most definitely count. He's spent his entire adult life searching for and avenging his sister's kidnapping. Samantha Mulder is the reason Mulder works on the X-Files and why he is so determined to uncover the conspiracy. He does not hesitate to hurt or kill someone in the process of finding her. |
| 259 | * On ''Series/{{Youngers}}'', Jodie's brother is this. He threatens to beat Jay up for just looking at her and when Jay breaks up with her, she tells him, which leads to a beatdown. |
| 260 | [[/folder]] |
| 261 | |
| 262 | [[folder:Myths & Religion]] |
| 263 | * ''Literature/TheBible'' |
| 264 | ** Absalom from ''Literature/BooksOfSamuel'', who learns that his sister Tamar was raped and humiliated by their half-brother Amnon and, instead of going to a higher authority, like their father, David, he goes and kills Amnon himself. SubvertedTrope as David was already well aware of what had occurred (2 Samuel: 22-23). His response was to be 'greatly upset'... and [[PushOverParents do absolutely nothing to punish Amnon]]. Absalom decided to take justice into his own hands - it was obvious none was forthcoming from their father, the king and for the time, this was an understandable course of action. This is then DoubleSubverted, when after getting revenge for Tamar and being forgiven by his father for killing Amnon, Absalom starts plotting to overthrow David [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope at all costs]] out of revenge. Notably as slow as [[TragicVillain Absalom]] sunk, he never [[EvenEvilHasLovedONes stopped loving his sister]], even [[DeadGuyJunior naming his daughter after her]]. |
| 265 | ** In a similar incident in the ''Literature/BookOfGenesis'', two of the sons of Jacob killed everybody in a village for mistreating their sister. Presumably they wished the feud to [[LeaveNoSurvivors end right away]]. To put it into perspective, Jacob's daughter Dinah had been raped by a prominent member of the village who fell in love with her. Despite the circumstances, he and his father wanted to smooth over relations with Jacob's family and offered to pay for her dowry as if she'd still been a virgin, [[ValuesDissonance which was actually quite a generous offer at the time]]. Jacob seemed to warm up to the offer, but his sons demanded that all the men of the village circumcise themselves to become part of Jacob's tribe. The men agreed, with the idea that they would now be able to intermarry with Jacob's tribe. After all the men were circumcised and helpless, though, Dinah's brothers Simeon and Levi took advantage of the situation and slaughter the entire village, taking only women and children alive as slaves. When Jacob [[WhatTheHellHero criticized them for the actions]], saying that no one would trust him now, they only replied: [[MyGirlIsNotASlut "Our sister should not be treated like a whore."]] Jacob went along with this right up until just before he died, at which point he called them in and disinherited them for wiping out a village for the actions of one man. |
| 266 | * ''Literature/{{Mabinogion}}'': |
| 267 | ** Efnisien gets hugely angry when his half-sister, Branwen, was married to the king of Ireland while he was away and couldn’t give his opinion: |
| 268 | --> ''And thereupon he rushed under the horses and cut off their lips at the teeth, and their ears close to their heads, and their tails close to their backs, and wherever he could clutch their eyelids, he cut them to the very bone, and he disfigured the horses and rendered them useless.'' |
| 269 | ** When Branwen's husband starts treating her like a slave as retaliation for Efnisien's DisproportionateRetribution, all her brothers go to war to defend her honour. |
| 270 | * Apollo of Myth/GreekMythology tricked his sister Artemis into killing her almost-LoveInterest Orion because he didn't want her to break her vows of chastity. (Though technically, he's her younger twin.) |
| 271 | [[/folder]] |
| 272 | |
| 273 | [[folder:Roleplay]] |
| 274 | * Lenny Priestly of ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' v3 will do ''anything'' to make sure his twin sister Elizabeth is safe. Anything, as he kills people for this reason. Though possibly a subversion, as it has been implied that he used her as an excuse to kill, especially since he went AxCrazy and stopped being an AntiVillain. |
| 275 | [[/folder]] |
| 276 | |
| 277 | [[folder:Toys]] |
| 278 | * The filecards for Franchise/GIJoe members Barrel Roll and Bombstrike, and the filecard for Cobra operative Blackout contain a story where Barrel Roll acts as Knight Templar to rescue his sister Bombstrike after BlackSheep brother Blackout kidnaps her. |
| 279 | [[/folder]] |
| 280 | |
| 281 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 282 | * ''VideoGame/Battlefield1'' has Luca Vincenzo Cocchiola, an Italian soldier who massacres his way through whole squads of Austro-Hungarian soldiers in search of his younger brother Mateo. [[JustifiedTrope This makes sense]] considering that the two brothers are in the middle of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI, and placed on dangerous missions apart from each other. |
| 283 | * The Big Sisters from ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' are the sister equivalent of this trope. To make matters worse, they are incredibly fast, can easily kill you with a few hits, have a lot of health, climb walls, plus they often make mooks spawn and occasionally flood the area which results in visual impairment. They are the reason why most players were happy when the fight for a Little Sister was ''only'' against a [[PapaWolf Big Daddy]]. |
| 284 | * [[HotWitch Konoe A. Mercury]], better known by her nickname "Nine", of ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'' is one of the Six Heroes who battled and defeated the [[EldritchAbomination Black Beast]]. And she happens to be fiercely protective of her baby sister Celica. If she so much as ''suspects'' that you ''might'' cause trouble for her, she will roast you alive with her magic. Merely [[DoesNotLikeMen being male]] is enough for her to have such suspicions. Worst case scenario, you are blown to oblivion by one of Nine's creations, the GODDAMNED Nox Nyctores KillSat Take-Mikazuchi, which is exactly what she did to the Beast. |
| 285 | * In ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', it's implied that Scooter acts like the trope towards his sister, Ellie, despite Ellie telling Scooter to leave her alone and stop setting her customers on fire. |
| 286 | * ''VideoGame/BugFables'' has Riz, a paranoid damselfly who lives in an isolated fishing village deep within the treacherous Far Grasslands with his little sister and father. He loves his family deeply and is fiercely protective of them to the point that he tries to fight Team Snakemouth to the death when they approach his home. Even after beating him and earning his trust, he still doesn't completely trust them around his family and will go ''ballistic'' if they give his sister a snack. |
| 287 | * In ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII'', [[BigBad Raul Menendez]] is willing to bomb Los Angeles and start a world revolution that could get millions of innocent people killed to [[spoiler:avenge the ''accidental'' death of his sister Josephina at the hands of Woods.]] |
| 288 | * [[spoiler:Albus]] in ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia''. [[spoiler:Does everything he can to protect Shanoa in the first half of the game, going so far as to appear a villain for it, until Barlowe is outed, anyway.]] |
| 289 | * Kaito in ''VideoGame/DigimonSurvive'' is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who spends the entirety of the game laser-focused on protecting his AnnoyingYoungerSibling Miu and thrashing anything & anyone that gets in his way. This leads to conflict between the two as Miu feels suffocated by his strict overprotectiveness while Kaito struggles to take her feelings into consideration and yells at her for talking back to him. |
| 290 | * ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'': |
| 291 | ** Targeting [[VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories Axel's]] little brother is not a good idea, something a repo man learned the hard way at the end of the Axel story. And as aforementioned Dark Hero learned the hard way, do not abduct Adell's siblings or Rozalin's "servants". ''For any reason at all''. |
| 292 | ** The plot of ''VideoGame/DisgaeaDimension2'' can be summed up as this given that [[spoiler: Xenolith would allow the Netherworld to transform into something similar to Celestia as well as give up his life if it means saving his little sister Etna. Alas, Etna constantly refuses to acknowledge that Xenolith is her older brother even with her life on the line. One particular bad ending has Xenolith fail to save Etna when she refuses to acknowledge that Xenolith is her older brother and destroys the artifact that is destroying the Netherworld with her powers in it. That power ends up killing her and everything he has done had been for nothing.]] |
| 293 | ** The BigBad of ''VideoGame/Disgaea5AllianceOfVengeance'', Void Dark, started his interdimensional conquest across all Netherworlds to [[spoiler:gather enough power and the right Overloads to resurrect his sister, Liezerota, and create the ideal world for him and his sister to live in, the lives of everyone else be damned. Even after he dies in the final battle, the evil spirit within his heart goes on a violent rampage to protect his sister at any cost, even possessing her]]. |
| 294 | * The rewritten version of ''VideoGame/{{Dormitabis}}'' had [[spoiler: Garvey start out his killing spree when he wanted to avenge his brother John after the Bite of '83 incident. Once he tasted the blood of children, the rest was history, and he began to wish John would grow up to stop him after [[SanitySlippage he loses himself completely]]]]. |
| 295 | * In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', the player character can act like this towards their younger sibling, Bethany or Carver. And considering what can potentially happen to them throughout the game, including ''the inevitable death of one of them'', it's no wonder. It's much more prominent with Bethany, however, such as when Ser Wesley identifies Bethany as being an apostate in the prologue, causing Hawke to [[EstablishingCharacterMoment immediately]] step [[BigBrotherInstinct in front of her]] and stare down the Templar with a DeathGlare. This even happens if Hawke is a mage, putting themselves potentially in the line of fire to protect her. [[spoiler: Should Bethany go to the Circle, Hawke similarly threatens to disembowel any Templar who touches her, only relenting when Bethany explains she's going peacefully and on her own accord]]. |
| 296 | * ''VideoGame/DirgeOfCerberus'' messes with this. It's actually the little brother, Nero, who goes completely batshit when his big brother is threatened. |
| 297 | * A possible sidequest in ''VideoGame/TheGodfather 2'' involves you being told to beat up or kill someone taking advantage of the quest-giver's sibling. |
| 298 | * In ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas'', [=CJ=] finds out that some construction workers have been calling his sister Kendl a hooker. Not only does he bust up the portables at the construction site, but he also traps the foreman in a porta-potty and [[DisproportionateRetribution uses a cement mixer]] ''[[BuriedAlive to bury him alive]]''. And all the while, the poor guy is screaming [[CrossesTheLineTwice "OH GOD, WHY?!"]] |
| 299 | * Elro in ''VideoGame/{{Iconoclasts}}'' was already protective of Robin from the start due to the passing of their father, but he takes it too far after [[spoiler:his wife and daughter are killed]] and Robin decides to keep fighting One Concern against his wishes. His aggressiveness and refusal to do anything that would put Robin in danger (even though any idiot can see that Robin is clearly capable of handling herself) makes him TheMillstone of the party, resulting in him trying to take on TheDragon alone by locking himself in with her (this gets [[spoiler:his arm ripped off]] and scatters the party across the world) and being very uncooperative in a plan that’s vital to ''saving the planet''. [[spoiler:The cruel irony is that, while he never admits it, Elro is the initial ''cause'' of all the dangers Robin goes through; before the game started, he performed a petty act of rebellion against One Concern (whom he blamed for his father’s death), which killed Agent Grey, which caused Agent Black (the aforementioned Dragon) to become bent on getting revenge on Elro and his family, as Grey was the one person who treated Black with genuine kindness and it's strongly implied she was in love with Grey because of this]]. At the very end of the game, he grudgingly admits that he could probably stand to ease up a bit on his overprotectiveness. Robin had to [[spoiler:single-handedly kill the being worshipped as an all-powerful creator god by One Concern]] for this to happen. [[spoiler:Granted, this "god" was really just some alien trucker's spaceship, but Elro doesn't know that]]. |
| 300 | * Axel of ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', towards Roxas. He raises the amnesiac keyblade-wielding Nobody... but he's also a ''really'' PsychoSupporter. |
| 301 | * It's implied that Joel from ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' was this for his younger brother, Tommy. Considering that they've spent the last twenty years living in a ZombieApocalypse and Joel lost his daughter within the first hours of the outbreak, you can't blame him for being scared. However, it's implied that Joel did much more than kill people and Infected. |
| 302 | * The plot of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'' is set in motion when Link's little sister Aryll is kidnapped by a massive bird. He then proceeds to journey through perilous dungeons, slay legions of monsters, a few of which are thirty times his size, [[spoiler: smash the bird's skull in with a giant hammer, murder the man who sent it by stabbing him through the forehead and leave his petrified corpse at the bottom of the ocean, all over the course of several days. Also, the bird's master was the King of Evil who turned Hyrule into a desolate ruin ages ago]]. Oh, and not only is this [[BewareTheSillyOnes the goofiest Link to ever exist]], he isn't even a "real" Link! He's not descended from [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword the original Link]] like all the others, he's just some random kid named after the legendary [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Hero of Time]] like probably a hundred other boys out there. [[TheUnchosenOne There's no prophecy or destiny backing him up on any of this]], and yet he manages to pull it off anyway because someone kidnapped his sister and he's ''pissed''. |
| 303 | * ''Franchise/MegaMan'': |
| 304 | ** ''[[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Mega Man]]'' and Proto Man are teaming up together in ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan10 10]]'' to get the vaccines for Roboenza and cure Roll. Mega Man goes after Wily before he goes after the Robot Masters. Whoever created this virus better have good life insurance. [[spoiler:Yeah, Wily's life insurance is up to date. [[JokerImmunity Bastard]]'s ''[[JokerImmunity still]]'' [[JokerImmunity alive]].]] |
| 305 | ** Blues in ''Manga/MegaManMegamix'' fits the 'morally questionable actions' part of the trope (what separates it from BigBrotherInstinct), up to and including ''threatening to kill Kalinka Cossack'' if anyone gets involved in [[spoiler:the MirrorMatch between Mega Man and Copy-Mega Man. Not only was there the risk that they'd shoot the wrong one if they'd tried to help, but Dr. Wily had given Shadowman orders to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap Kalinka. Blues couldn't help Mega Man fight without letting Kalinka get snatched, and he needed some way to keep the other robot masters present from trying to help Rock and causing the FogOfWar Wily was going for. If he hadn't threatened her, they would have tried to go through him, and Shadowman would have taken her while he was distracted. By the side of the one with the ''shield'' was the safest place for a human among a lot of robot masters with itchy trigger fingers, and]] he did succeed in saving everyone [[spoiler:except Copy-Mega Man.]] There are plenty of other examples. |
| 306 | ** Consider that Wily based his own robot designs on Proto Man's specs. Bass would then be multiple inversions of the trope: he's on a constant mission to destroy Mega Man, and if Wily pisses him off he'll gladly take it out on the other Wily bots...who are also Proto Man ripoffs. |
| 307 | ** Any attempt to harm VideoGame/MegaManX or Zero in the other's presence will result in the survivor of the pair ''bringing the BigBad's fortress down on top of you.'' In later games, if you take out Axl, you now have to deal with TWO pissed-off Knight Templar Big Brothers. |
| 308 | * The protagonist of the [[NoExportForYou Japan-only]] ''VideoGame/NieR Replicant'' is TheUnfettered when it comes to protecting his sister Yonah (in the Western version, he's instead a PapaWolf). |
| 309 | * In ''VideoGame/Persona4'', acting this way and [[spoiler:throwing Namatame into the TV after Nanako's apparent death]] will get you [[NiceJobBreakingItHero the worst ending]]. |
| 310 | * PlayedForLaughs in ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'', where Yu is given the EmbarrassingNickname "The Sister Complex Kingpin of Steel". Additionally, when Yosuke is forced to face a {{flanderized}} version of Yu based on this nickname, Yu gets pissed no matter ''what'' Yosuke says about Nanako, to the point where the fight between the two is initiated by Yosuke pretending to insult her. |
| 311 | -->'''Yosuke:''' ''(to himself)'' Ahem… sorry, Nanako-chan. ''(to Yu)'' Haa haa! That Nanako-chan! What a dummy, right!?\ |
| 312 | '''Yu:''' That's it… your life is ''forfeit!'' |
| 313 | * ''VideoGame/{{Prototype}}'': |
| 314 | ** Whatever happens, whoever you are, whatever the reason, never ''never'' '''never''' harm Dana Mercer in any way, because the consequences for doing so come in the form of her big brother, Alex. Alex is a shapeshifting, superstrong, superfast, superagile, incredibly resilient HumanoidAbomination with ''[[UnstoppableRage issues]]'', and Dana is the [[MoralityPet one thing in the world he cares about]]. Alex once prevented Dana's capture by punching ''through'' the torso of a soldier wearing body armor. Alex [[ImAHumanitarian ate]] a few dozen people who [[BrainFood happened to be vaguely connected]] to Dana's location when kidnapped, and two monsters, and the mastermind herself. [[MindHive Alex is already]] [[LovecraftianSuperpower not wholly stable]]. Try something safer, like playing Chicken with the sun. [[spoiler:And in a wholly depressing twist, Alex isn't even really Dana's brother, simply a virus wearing her brother's corpse like a suit. The real man cared so little about his younger sister that he ''knowingly'' condemned her to a hideous death with the rest of the world when he released the virus before he died and it consumed his remains. This was a man so devoid of love that a flesh-eating virus designed specifically to wipe out humanity cares for his sister more than he did. [[MoralEventHorizon What a dick.]]]] |
| 315 | ** In the [[VideoGame/Prototype2 sequel]], [[spoiler: Alex appears to have dropped this trait, [[RogueProtagonist alongside almost any positive traits he had]]. Though despite Dana working against his evil plan, he chooses to capture her, rather than just kill her like he did Heller's other contact, Father Guerra.]] |
| 316 | * ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'': |
| 317 | ** [[HandsomeLech Zelos Wilder]]. Though Seles seems to hate him for being born [[spoiler:since her mother tried to kill him so that Seles could be TheChosenOne instead, but Zelos' mother [[TakingTheBullet saved him]], and as a result, Seles' own mother was executed]], he will "throw anyone who so much as looks at her wrong down the Palmacosta harbor". Whoa, dude, chill. |
| 318 | ** [[spoiler: [[BigBad Mithos Yggdrasil]] from the same game. [[EvilPlan He split the world into two and caused everything that leads up to the main plot.]] His goal? To resurrect his sister Martel.]] |
| 319 | ** Guy Cecil from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' -- his older sister Mary [[spoiler: may be dead]], but he practically raised Luke. Guy's a pretty chill person normally, but if you so much as threaten one hair on Luke's head, you press his BerserkButton. Especially evident during the Summit, when [[spoiler: Jade suggests Luke die in Asch's place, and Guy ''grabs Jade by his collar'', actually ''yells'', and calls Jade a bastard for it.]] |
| 320 | * In ''VideoGame/TalesOfXillia2'', this ends up being inverted [[spoiler: if you choose to see the bad ending by making Ludger refuse to kill his older brother Julius (Something the latter wants, as he's doomed, and it's the only way to extract a Soul Bridge from him, a key that the party needs to save the world). Gaius proceeds to state that he'll do the deed himself, then things get ugly from there.]] |
| 321 | * In the ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' comics, the [[HuskyRusskie Heavy]] is revealed to be this to both his three younger sisters [[ExtremelyProtectiveChild and his mother]]. After his father was executed for being a counter-revolutionary, the Heavy and his family were sent to a [[TheGulag gulag]] in 1941; they remained prisoners for three months until he broke them out after setting the camp on fire. It was later found that all the other prisoners had escaped and that all the guards had also been tortured to death. He then moved his family to an isolated cabin in Siberia, where he hoped they could be kept safe from any would-be pursuers, and took a job as a mercenary to provide for them. {{Deconstructed|Trope}} in the present when his sisters confess that they're sick of eating bear meat every single day and living in the middle of nowhere, and that they want to leave Russia. Then it's {{reconstructed|Trope}} when they reveal that not only have men already come for them while Heavy was working in America, but that his sisters "butchered them like hogs" and saw to it that they all died screaming, deliberately neglecting to tell their brother because they did not want him to worry. While Heavy is conflicted by the revelation, he is content with the knowledge that his sisters are strong enough to look out for themselves and agrees to help them move (and even promises his mother that they will never have to eat bear meat again). |
| 322 | * Miguel Rojo of ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'', a Spanish brawler who entered into the King of Iron Fist Tournament to have a chance to kill [[WellIntentionedExtremist Jin Kazama]] after he ordered an air strike that claimed Miguel's sister's life. He was like this back when she was alive too, having almost murdered her fiance after [[MySisterIsOffLimits he heard about their marraige plans]]. |
| 323 | * In ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'', [[spoiler:Josh turns out to be this. Ever since his sisters' tragic deaths, he went into a great depression and was even went through a major SanitySlippage. The whole reason for the return to Blackwood Pines lodge was just to get revenge against those whom he blamed for Hannah and Beth's deaths. Depending on the choices made by the player, he may succeed in getting his revenge.]] |
| 324 | * [[spoiler: Beat]] from ''VideoGame/TheWorldEndsWithYou'' makes a FaceHeelTurn in reaction to [[spoiler: Rhyme getting erased; he becomes a Reaper in the hopes of restoring her to life.]] |
| 325 | * Gulcasa of ''VideoGame/YggdraUnion''. Serious harm befalling his younger half-sister Emilia induces BerserkButton-level rage, and towards the end of the game -- directly after he learns [[spoiler:that she has been killed by the Royal Army]] -- said rage causes him to reject Yggdra's repeated pleas for a cease-fire to the war that has [[spoiler:''effectively destroyed most of his country'']]. Usually, he's a shrewd and reasonable ruler, but in this case... |
| 326 | ** Emilia actually inverts the trope in one of the routes of ''VideoGame/BlazeUnion'' where Gulcasa never discovers his powers (or that they're related), and purposely risks going permanently AxCrazy in order to get the power to protect him and the rest of her adoptive older siblings in Gram Blaze. On the chance that she actually does go insane, [[spoiler:Gulcasa is left StakingTheLovedOne, after which he [[HeroicBSOD crawls into his]] [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji corner]] [[DespairEventHorizon and doesn't come out]].]]. |

| 330 | * PlayedForLaughs in ''VisualNovel/CafeEnchante'' as Misyr isn't related to Il or Kotone but more often than not, he acts a very protective older brother towards them. He hesitated in letting Il leave the café on his own (since the last time Il did, [[NoodleIncident he was almost kidnapped]]) and is the most openly disapproving of any hint of interest of Rindo towards Kotone. |
| 331 | * Both Keiichi Maebara and later, [[spoiler:Shion Sonozaki]], from ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' fall prey to this syndrome when their non-blood-related "sister", little Satoko Houjou, is {{abus|iveParents}}ed [[EvilUncle by her uncle]]. Winds up leading to some of the most tragic endings of the games in Keiichi's case whereas when it happens to Shion she does get convinced that murder isn't the only solution, even if her friends initially also think there's no way to get rid of her uncle. [[spoiler:Satoko ends up saved later on in that arc through the power of lawyers and nepotism, only for everyone to be murdered by the BigBad]]. It is also shown that Satoko's [[spoiler:actual brother, Satoshi]] did the same regarding the [[AbusiveParents aunt]]. |
| 332 | * Clover in ''VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors'' has a suspicion on who killed her older brother, Snake, in Door 3. In the Axe Ending, when she calculates who the murderers are, she acts on said misconception, [[spoiler:killing both Santa, Seven (the suspected murderers) and June for defending them, before turning against the protagonist himself]]. Though depending on how well the game is played, the players can get the True Ending, where Junpei befriends her and inadvertently stumbles across a crucial clue that indicates [[spoiler:her brother is still alive.]] |
| 333 | * [[spoiler: Kaoru "Sou-Banchou" Ichimonji]] from ''VisualNovel/TokimekiMemorial 2'' is revealed to be this if you romance his younger sister, [[spoiler: Akane]]. And this is [[spoiler: ''the main character's own fault'': Sou-Banchou witnessed first-hand [[LoveHurts how utterly heartbroken]] [[HeroicBSOD the poor girl was]] was when you-as-the-MC moved outta the city, so he swore to punch any guy who made her cry.]] |

| 337 | * ''WebAnimation/BrokenSaints'': Tui Jr, adoptive brother to HeartwarmingOrphan Shandala, can resemble this at times, due to his being so hot-blooded. |

| 341 | * Johan of ''Webcomic/AndersLovesMaria'' has long been violently protective of his little sister, Maria. Leads to him committing acts of vandalism and assault in her name. |
| 342 | * Mijuu of ''Webcomic/{{Juathuur}}'' is Dejoru's overprotective big sister. |
| 343 | * Thanks to growing up with a living AngstNuke as a brother, BigLittleBrother Ritsu Kageyama of ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100'' has developed a reflexive need to shield Mob from anything that might be too upsetting. Said protectiveness has manifested in such actions as [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil abusing his student council privileges to purge the school of potentially bad influences]], [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident purposely "failing" to protect Mob's sketchy mentor/employer when subbing in for an exorcism]], attempting to strangle a stranger to death for harassing Mob, and having a nervous breakdown when he learns his brother's crush might like someone else. |
| 344 | * ''Webcomic/{{Panthera}}'' has Jason, who threatens his best friend Fletcher (who finally got a date with Taylor) as such: |
| 345 | -->'''Jason:''' If you do '''''ANYTHING''''' to her, in '''any way, shape or form''', I will quite literally '''#%$&!$# EAT YOU'''. And you have '''NO''' idea just how '''DEEP''' I could '''BURY''' what'd be left of your sorry '''carcass'''. '''UNDERSTOOD?''' |
| 346 | * In [[https://www.instagram.com/pet_foolery/ Pet Foolery's]] string of pet-related webcomics, [[Webcomic/PixieAndBrutus we're frequently treated with]] [[ShellShockedVeteran Brutus the German Shepherd]] and [[CheerfulChild Pixie the Bobcat(?)]]. While Brutus keeps up the act of AloofAlly, he frequently shows shades of this. |
| 347 | -->'''Pixie:''' That's Randall the raccoon, [[CaptainObvious he's a raccoon]]. [[{{Jerkass}} He's also really grumpy]]. One time I asked if he wanted to play, and he told me to leave him alone or [[WouldHurtAChild he'd bite me]]! So you should probably stay away from him...\ |
| 348 | '''Brutus:''' Good idea Pixie, he'd probably [[ImpliedDeathThreat rip my]] '''''[[ImpliedDeathThreat ugly striped tail]]''''' [[ImpliedDeathThreat off]].\ |
| 349 | '''Pixie:''' Yeah... [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Wait, you don't have any stripes on your tail...]] |
| 350 | * Hayden in ''Webcomic/TheStoryOfAnima'' is normally calm and sensible, but when his already badass sister Ada is even remotely threatened, [[http://tapastic.com/episode/49413 he slices the attacker's arm off]]. |

| 354 | * In ''Literature/{{Brennus}}'', Amy is very ''very'' protective of her younger brother Basil, although she doesn't tell him about everything she does. He still thinks [[spoiler: some of the Hemogoblins]] got away. She tore them limb from limb. |
| 355 | * In ''Literature/DeadWest'', Cedric, big time. His finer moments include burning several churches (only the first was warranted) and dropping a teenager into a huge, steam-powered meat grinder. Feet first. He kind of deserved it. And the way he killed his best friend for molesting his little brother belongs to the NightmareFuel page. |

| 358 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 359 | * Dee Dee from ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' may appear to be a [[TheDitz flake]], but you do NOT harm her little brother. Or she will kick your ass. |
| 360 | * [[Characters/FamilyGuyGlennQuagmire Glenn Quagmire]] from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' is a horrible man, but when he finds out that his (presumed younger) sister's boyfriend is abusive towards her, he ends up running over said boyfriend, killing him. |
| 361 | * Dipper Pines from ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' can be this. Though he and his sister Mabel are twins (and he's the younger one), [[BewareTheNiceOnes he is perfectly willing to exact some revenge on those who wronged her]]... even if she doesn't want revenge herself. |
| 362 | * While they're on separate sides, Protoman from ''WesternAnimation/MegaManRubySpears'' certainly fits. No one, save Protoman himself, is allowed to touch Mega Man -- not even Wily. True, he [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou states that wants to defeat Mega Man himself]], but [[WeCanRuleTogether not really]]. |
| 363 | * ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'' sees the titular [[Characters/RickAndMortyMortySmith Morty Smith]] gradually become this as he becomes a darker, more jaded character thanks to Rick's influence, though Morty is the younger brother. The best example is in "The Whirly-Dirly Conspiracy"; Summer develops issues with her self-esteem and body image after her boyfriend breaks up with her, and tries to change her body using an invention of Rick's, which goes horribly wrong and which Morty and Beth have to fix. Afterwards, Morty uses this same invention to horrifically disfigure Summer's now-ex-boyfriend as revenge for breaking her heart. |
| 364 | * [[Characters/SouthParkKennyMcCormick Kenny McCormick]] from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' displays this in the episode "The Poor Kid". If you have the gall to mess with Karen [=McCormick=], Kenny proves that he would smash your face in [[NoHoldsBarredBeatDown quite viciously]], as Jessica Pinkerton finds out. The rest of the school gets the hint that the girl is off-limits. |
| 365 | * In the ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' episode "Princess Quasar Caterpillar and the Magic Bell," Ludo finds out that his younger brother, Dennis, is rebuilding their family's old castle. Due to his [[AbusiveParents unpleasant memories]] regarding their family, Ludo initially objects to this, until it's revealed that the castle's landowner is a {{JerkAss}} who tricked Dennis into rebuilding the castle with no intention of giving it back. So how does Ludo get his hands on the castle's deed? He confronts the landowner and has his minions, Bird and Spider, ''eat him''. |
| 366 | -->'''Landowner:''' [[YoureInsane You're crazy]]! |
| 367 | -->'''Ludo:''' No, I just love my brother. But I'll do crazy things to protect him! |
