History AmazonChaser / WesternAnimation

* In ''WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace'' Brody of the Surfers falls for [=MacArthur=] of the Cadets, [=MacArthur=] being one of the series' biggest {{Action Girl}}s. He first falls for her after seeing her kick butt during one of the many challenges of the race.

* ''WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex'': While Dr. Holiday rarely throws down outside of her MamaBear tendencies, there was a particularly epic moment she got where she saved Agent Six and Rex by rapid-firing at a huge monster, driving it back. Six's gobsmacked expression said it all.

** This also seemed to be the point where Six started returning Holiday's UST for him.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'', Trevor initially thought Sypha was annoying and bickered with her, then she saved him from a angry crowd with her [[PlayingWithFire fire magic]] and he quickly became much nicer to her. By the end of Season 2, Trevor admits he never felt happier when he's with her and they become a couple.

* ZigZagged in ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince''. [[Characters/TheDragonPrinceCallum Callum]] [[InterspeciesRomance falls in love]] with [[ActionGirl Rayla]] because she is kindhearted and has saved several people with her exploits. But its thanks to her combat skills that she was able to accomplish said exploits.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'':

* Fry, of ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' has shades of this, both in his WillTheyOrWontThey relationship with ActionGirl Leela, and the fact that any time he's talking to the [[LiteralMetaphor literal]] Amazons, there's flirting involved. Occasionally in both directions.

** In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', [[Characters/AvatarTheLastAirbenderSokka Sokka]] (eventually) becomes attracted to Suki in part because she's such an excellent fighter.

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'' Trevor initially thought Sypha was annoying and bickered with her, then she saved him from a angry crowd with her [[PlayingWithFire fire magic]] and he quickly became much nicer to her. By the end of Season 2, Trevor admits he never felt happier when he's with her and they become a couple.

* Downplayed in ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'' but Ulrich and William are both ''clearly'' attracted to Yumi at least in part because of her ActionGirl status; she and Ulrich even had their first meeting at a martial arts class.

*** In “Memory Blank” after he and Tucker lose their memories of Sam, his reaction to seeing her take down a ghost single handedly is to call her “the coolest girl on the planet.”
** This seems to run in the family. In the ChristmasEpisode Maddie [[MamaBear finds out that Danny is in trouble]], grabs a weapon and jump-kicks out the window to rescue him. Jack's response: "Oh '''''man''''' that is hot!"
* Zigzagged in ''WesternAnimation/TheDragonPrince''. [[Characters/TheDragonPrinceCallum Callum]] [[InterspeciesRomance falls in love]] with [[ActionGirl Rayla]] because she is kindhearted and has saved several people with her exploits. But its thanks to her combat skills that she was able to accomplish said exploits.

* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', Wonder Woman may be one of the most powerful superheroes of all, and it apparently doesn't discourage most men lusting after her, including a Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse version of Hugh Hefner. Even in a TimeTravel story into TheWildWest, the most significant reaction to her incredible power is from ComicBook/BatLash, a self-styled ladies man who notes admiringly, "That's a healthy gal!"

** In "Simple Ways", Trenderhoof becomes attracted to Applejack both for her simple farm life (which he considers refreshing since he's often surrounded by rich snobs), and her incredible strength. A jealous Rarity tries miserably to imitate Applejack, but can't get his attention. Applejack doesn't return his feelings, as his attempts to woo her make him seem like a stalker. And has some possible racial themes as he specifically points out being attracted to "[[InnocentlyInsensitive the work ethic of earth ponies]]."
** In "She's All Yak", Sandbar asks Yona to the Amity Ball and, while he never outright says it's because of her [[BuffySpeak hulking yakness]] he makes it clear he prefers that over any of her attempts at coming off as delicate and high-classed.
* [[Characters/TheOwlHouseLuzNoceda Luz Noceda]] from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. Being bisexual, she isn't solely attracted to just tough girls (going through the list of people she's shown attraction to over the course of the series, her type seems to be more along the lines of "cool and classy"), but [[spoiler:the first time she ever blushes at her future girlfriend Amity is when the latter [[RescueRomance protects her from getting killed by an Abomaton]] in "Escaping Expulsion". This goes both ways, as Amity blushes in "Reaching Out" when Luz makes her BigEntrance to the Bonesborough Brawl.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': Brock Samson. This indomitable muscular man is popular with the ladies, but the only women who really capture his interest are those who can match him in a fight.

* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDragonJakeLong'': During "Ski Trip", Jake, Spud and Trixie walk in Rose, Jake's love interest, doing pull ups. This is before Jake found out Rose is the Huntsgirl, so all he can do is be excited that Rose is "totally buff".

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', [[Characters/AvatarTheLastAirbenderSokka Sokka]] (eventually) becomes attracted to Suki in part because she's such an excellent fighter.

* The ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' episode "Northwest Mansion Mystery" had Mabel and her friends fighting over a young Austrian baron, who to their surprise ignores Mabel and AsianAndNerdy Candy entirely to ask out BrawnHilda Grenda.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
** The fishmonger Korra comes across in "Korra Alone" tells her that he liked meeting her and Aang but that he'd really like to have met [[MemeticBadass Kyoshi]] because she took down a shark squid with one hand.

* ''WesternAnimation/TronUprising'': [[TheHero Beck]] develops a crush on [[WellIntentionedExtremist Paige]] after she [[LoveAtFirstPunch kicks his ass]] and it only gets stronger with each time she does it (though also because she's a good person beneath it all). She, for her part, [[LovesMyAlterEgo falls for his normal self]] (besides [[BelligerentSexualTension an unacknowledged attraction]] to his rebel persona) [[VillainessesWantHeroes after she witnesses him save people as a civilian.]]

** After that unflattering first impression, Brock remains smitten with Warriana but uncharacteristically CannotSpitItOut. It seems the legendary Samson has met his match: a woman [[SexGod even he]] finds sexually intimidating. After an accidental dose of entheogenic "God gas" unlocks usually-hidden [[InVinoVeritas sincerity and eloquence]], he marches up to Warriana and declares that it is her warrior spirit that he adores even more than her amazonian physique. She is more than a little impressed: she immediately picks him up and carries him into her apartment with the promise to "[[CasualKink tire him out]]."

* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', Finn comments after his first meeting with Flame Princess-- who demonstrates that she is both literally and figuratively HotBlooded-- "I think I have a crush!" Later, he gets very... [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything excited...]] when he sees her beat up the [[AnIcePerson Ice King]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', Sokka (eventually) becomes attracted to Suki in part because she's such an excellent fighter.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'', [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide Lincoln Loud]] has come to appreciate [[TheLadette Ronnie Anne's]] [[LovingBully rough way of showing affection]]. Of course, since they're preteens, they'll repeatedly [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend deny being in a relationship deeper than]] JustFriends.

* Luz from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse''. Being bisexual, she isn't solely attracted to just tough girls (going through the list of people she's shown attraction to over the course of the series, her type seems to be more along the lines of "cool and classy"), but [[spoiler:the first time she ever blushes at her future girlfriend Amity is when the latter [[RescueRomance protects her from getting killed by an Abomaton]] in "Escaping Expulsion". This goes both ways, as Amity blushes in "Reaching Out" when Luz makes her BigEntrance to the Bonesborough Brawl.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' has a rare female example in [[TheHero Adora]], who is a lesbian, and clearly likes her some muscle development, [[HasAType especially if the muscular woman is purple-skinned]]: Huntara [[SmittenTeenageGirl temporarily robs her of the capacity for rational thought]], and when she gets a BearHug from another beefy purple woman, she gets some ''really'' interesting facial expressions and starts blushing. And then there's the way she reacts to watching her LoveInterest [[spoiler:Catra]] slice through solid steel bare-handed...

* In ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', Wonder Woman may be one of the most powerful superheroes of all, and it apparently doesn't discourage most men lusting after her, including a Franchise/{{DCAU}} version of Hugh Hefner. Even in a TimeTravel story into TheWildWest, the most significant reaction to her incredible power is from ComicBook/BatLash, a self-styled ladies man who notes admiringly, "That's a healthy gal!"

** Korra is a powerful bender and athlete. Bolin admires her because of this: "You're the smartest, funniest, toughest, buffest, [[BuffySpeak talentedest, most incrediblest]] girl in the world!"
** His brother, Mako, also seems to be this. Initially, Mako's totally smitten with [[BadassNormal Asami]] but he falls for her before he learns how tough she really is. This trope holds truer in his second girlfriend, Korra.
** Korra and Asami could both be considered this, too, seeing as come the series' end, they're dating ''each other!''

-->'''Trevor''': You never told me your were a magician.

* It'd probably be easier to list male characters who ''aren't'' {{AmazonChaser}}s in ''WesternAnimation/MayaAndTheThree''

* It'd probably be easier to list male characters who ''aren't'' [=Amazon Chaser=]s in ''WesternAnimation/MayaAndTheThree''

** King Teca adores his wife, and makes it clear that he appreciates Queen Teca's strength and skill in battle. [[spoiler: He was also seduced by Lady Micte after she fought him disguised as a human and proved to be an equal in strength to him, and the tension turned into something more.]]
** Zatz is initially introduced in a relationship with Acat, a powerful goddess, though it's clear that their relationship isn't going to last much longer. Instead, Zatz becomes fascinated with Maya, admiring both her strength in battle-- which she proves in a one-on-one fight with him where they're both clearing having the time of their lives-- as well as her noble qualities, [[{{Foil}} in contrast to Acat.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' has a rare female example in [[TheHero Adora]], who is almost certainly a lesbian, and clearly likes her some muscle development, [[HasAType especially if the muscular woman is purple-skinned]]: Huntara [[SmittenTeenageGirl temporarily robs her of the capacity for rational thought]], and when she gets a BearHug from another beefy purple woman, she gets some ''really'' interesting facial expressions and starts blushing. And then there's the way she reacts to watching her LoveInterest [[spoiler:Catra]] slice through solid steel bare-handed...

* ''WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017'': Donald has a lovestruck smile on his face after seeing Daisy being able to knock out Falcon Graves.
