History Main / BattleHarem

* ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero''

* ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'' actually downplays this trope, despite serving as the page image. While Kirito gains an ensemble of powerful {{Action Girl}}s that are deeply interested in him that only grows with each new adventure, Kirito only ever has eyes for Asuna, with the two entering a relationship before the first story arc is even halfway over and remaining romantically involved ever since. He is a ChickMagnet, but the other girls invariably back off and settle for friendship (or in the case of Leafa the role of a supportive sister) when they see him with Asuna, of course this doesn't stop them from complaining about the situation or trying to push their luck from time to time, some more then others.
** Literally the only girls who are not part of the Kirito's little UnwantedHarem are Yui, Mito, and Yuuki, with the former being Kirito and Asuna's adopted AI daughter and the latter two both being AmbiguouslyGay and heavily implied to be crushing on [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Asuna]].

* The Harry Potter fanfic ''Fanfic/FaeryHeroes'' has one of these as its protagonists, made up of Harry, Hermione, and Luna. Luna and Hermione have [[RedOniBlueOni very different approaches to life]], but all three are are effectively commandos after their experience of their original timeline. After they use a virginity sacrifice ritual in their new bodies, their magical reserves increase significantly and they become an army unto themselves and apply their talents to [[spoiler: robbing Dark Pureblood families blind and leaving them unable to support Voldemort]].

* This is the endgame [[ShipperOnDeck Consensus]] is after for [[Literature/{{Worm}} Taylor Hebert]] for the first iteration of ''Roleplay/{{Communication}}'', to the point of that it becomes a RunningGag throughout the quest. [[spoiler: [[YouHaveGOTToBeKiddingMe To her complete dumbfoundment]], they ''actually'' succeed! By the time of the epilogue, [[RagTagBunchOfMisfits it consists of]] DeadpanSnarker with BatDeduction, a [[{{Biomanipulation}} Biomanipulator]] with former HeroicFatigue, a BenevolentAI, a former patient of HospitalParadiso, the resident ActionFashionista, an ArcherArchetype, and a HumanoidAbomination from space. The group expands in the sequel.]]

* [[MagneticHero 1st Lt. Youji Itami]] of ''Literature/{{GATE}}'' in the course of the story of being thrust into a [[AlternateUniverse magical parallel world]], managed to collect a semi-UnwantedHarem consisting of a 961-years-old[[note]]Though [[Really700YearsOld looking 13.]][[/note]] [[PhysicalGod Demi-Goddess and Apostle]] of the God of Death, a 169-years-old [[ArcherArchetype elven archer]] (who considers him a [[PromotionToParent replacement of her deceased father]])[[note]]Despite her age, her attitude and behavior is [[ImmortalImmaturity pretty much of a 16-years-old girl]].[[/note]], a 300-something years old Dark Elf warrior who is technically now [[HappinessInSlavery his slave for the favor he did to her tribe]], a-a-and a 15-years-old human magician, who, on the other hand, is arguably the most dangerous on the bunch due to being [[SmartGirl smartest of them by far]]. And that's not mentioning his 28-years old former wife back in Japan who's still pretty much into him. And [[HaremSeeker approves of all aforementioned with gusto]]. As of volume 8, the crown princess of The Empire has thrown her hat into the ring, in front of all the others.

* PlayedForLaughs and [[GenderInvertedTrope gender-inverted]] in the ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' fanfic [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4567900/1/Romancing-the-Bhaalspawn "Romancing the Bhaalspawn"]]. It's a humorous attempt to answer the question, "What would happen if a female PC played this game with a fistful of [[GameMod romance mods]]?" So Kaela has an entire party full of love interests: Xan [[spoiler: (never seriously pursued)]], Solaufein and Haer'Dalis [[spoiler: (who proposition Kaela to have a threesome)]], Valygar [[spoiler: (breaks up with her to be a CelibateHero)]], Anomen [[spoiler: (friend-zoned)]], and [[spoiler: Sarevok, who Kaela is [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys convinced is The One]]]].

* It's common in ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'' fanfic to make the Servants male and female Ritsuka summon into their personal harem.
* ''Fanfic/FateHaremAntics'': The main difference from canon is that Iri is in full control of the Holy Grail, and decides to use the Fifth Holy Grail War as an excuse to get her son Shirou a harem [[IWantGrandkids so that she can finally have grandkids]]. To that end, she makes sure every Master (besides Shirou) and every Servant is female. Of course, she had no way of telling any of them that, meaning everyone just thinks it's a normal Holy Grail War and are continuing to fight each other. At the start, Shirou quickly makes an alliance with Rin and Sakura, meaning that his battle harem consists of five girls (his Servant Saber, Rin and her Servant Archer, and Sakura and her Servant Rider), but by the end he will end up with ''twenty-three'' girlfriends.
* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13484551/1/Izuku-s-Pro-Hero-Harem-Life Izuku's Pro Hero Harem Life!]]'': The whole draw of the fic is Izuku's expanding harem roster of [[ActionGirl superheroines]], all of whom have well established badass credentials in the fic and in canon.
* ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/32685079/chapters/81084385 MHA: Power Rangers Next Generation]]'', has "The Queens", [[AffectionateNickname as they are affectionately refered to]] by Izuku. Not only all the girls from Izuku's harem are Pro Hero students (Ochako, Kyoka, Momo, Mina, Toru, Setsuna and Pony), plus Mei, who is a support student, all of them are training to be Power Rangers as well.
* ''Fanfic/MutantDeviations'': Taylor starts attracting attention when she founds an independent hero team composed entirely of girls, and her frequent recruitment of girls defecting from other factions in the city spurs in-universe jokes and memes about her gathering a lesbian harem. [[spoiler: By the end of the fic she is officially dating [[BatDeduction Lisa]], [[TheAtoner Madison]], and [[MindOverMatter Cassie (Rune)]], with a significant amount of teasing from other members of the team.]]
* ''Fanfic/JauneArcTheElementalSwordsman'': Team RWBY and Pyrrha are both Jaune's girlfriends and Huntresses-in-Training. [[spoiler:They also each controlled one of the ElementalPowers.]]

* ''Fanfic/OneForAllAndEightForTheNinth'': Izuku will have a harem in the story with Momo, Uraraka, Mei, Tsuyu, Toru, Yui, Nejire and Melissa as confirmed members (six of whom are also Hero Course students).
* ''Fanfic/MyDriverAcademia'': Izuku is gaining one thanks to Pyra wanting to make up for everything that he had to go through. It contains her, Mythra, Momo Yaoyorozu, Nia Hanekoma, Mei Hatsume, Reiko Yanagi, Ochaco Ururaka, Mina Ashido, Brighid, and Azami. And it's likely more girls will join later.
* Subverted in ''Fanfic/ThePiratesSoldier''. Most of the alien girls do express some interest in Heero Yuy when they first meet him, the two most blatant about it being obviously Ryoko and Ayeka. But once Heero's fellow Gundam pilots enter the story, plus Heero and Ryoko becoming an OfficialCouple, they start to interact more with them. Ayeka slowly seems to redirect her affections towards Quatre, Sasami develops a PrecociousCrush on Trowa, and Kiyone seems interested in Wufei.

* The Harry Potter fanfic ''Fanfic/FaeryHeroes'' has one of these as its protagonists, made up of Harry, Hermione, and Luna. Luna and Hermione have [[RedOniBlueOni very different approaches to life]], but all three are are effectively commandos after their experience of their original timeline. After they use a virginity sacrifice ritual in their new bodies, their magical reserves increase significantly and they become an army unto themselves and apply their talents to [[spoiler: robbing Dark Pureblood families blind and leaving them unable to support Voldemort]].

** Literally the only girls who are not part of the Kirito's little UnwantedHarem are Yui, Mito, and Yuuki, with the former being Kirito and Asuna's adopted AI daughter and the latter two both being AmbiguouslyGay and heavily involved to be crushing on [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Asuna]].

* ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'' actually downplays this trope, despite serving as the page image. While Kirito gains an ensemble of powerful {{Action Girl}}s that are deeply interested in him that only grows with each new adventure, Kirito only ever has eyes for Asuna, with the two entering a relationship before the first story arc is even halfway over and remaining romantically involved ever since. He is a ChickMagnet, but the other girls invariably back off and settle for friendship (or in the case of Leafa the role of a supportive sister) when they see him with Asuna, of course this doesn't stop them from complaining about the situation or trying to push their luck from time to time,
some more then others.

* ''Literature/TheHaremProtagonistWasTurnedIntoAGirlAndDoesntWantToChangeBack'': Has the titular protagonist herself who is the heir to the Galactic Empire and therefore equipped with a powerful [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman battle uniform]] to protect herself. In her harem Plynx is an alien soldier, Thisbe has vampire powers, O’tmyil is the A.I. that can fight on her own but usually is the onboard A.I. for Svetlana's aforementioned battle uniform, Augusta and Vivian are ordinary humans but both have martial arts training. They frequently have to fight invaders from the Kobaroian empire who come to attack Svetlana. [[spoiler:They end up as a [[{{Polyamory}} Polycule]] rather than a traditional Harem however.]]

* ''Fanfic/JauneArcTheElementalSwordsman'': Team RWBY and Pyrrha are both Jaune's girlfriends and Huntresses-in-Training. [[spoiler:They also each controlled an ElementalPower.]]

* ''Literature/KonoSuba'' has a case where initially this was an example [[BadassOnPaper on paper]]. Kazuma is a WeakButSkilled guy with a "harem" of girls who are all incredible powerhouses when it comes to their own niches, Aqua being a [[PhysicalGod literally godly]] level WhiteMage, Megumin having utterly devastating firepower through her FantasticNuke spell, and Darkness being an ImplacableMan StoneWall of a knight who is pretty close to NighInvulnerable as a tank. All of them when working together have also taken on some pretty dangerous foes and come out victorious. But everything about this is [[DeconstructiveParody deconstructed for laughs]], because all of the girls have CripplingOverspecialization (Aqua can ''only'' use WhiteMagic and often causes through either arrogance or idiocy the exact problems that she's needed for, Megumin takes SquishyWizard to the extent that one spell-cast of her FantasticNuke paralyzes her body due to lacking the mana to cast it, and Darkness is such a [[TooKinkyToTorture masochist]] that she refuses to take any proper swordsmanship skills, so [[ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy her swordfighting skills are so terrible she couldn't hit a stationary target right in front of her]]. It also takes the idea of UnwantedHarem to incredibly high "unwanted" levels, as the girls are so annoying the only way Kazuma let any of them join him is by being forced into it, whether through necessity of survival or straight up blackmail. It doesn't stay that way forever, though, as after several FireForgedFriends situations throughout the series, Kazuma does start to experience reciprocated romantic attraction towards Megumin and Darkness, while he and Aqua develop a LikeBrotherAndSister relationship, alongside all of them massively increasing in both cooperation and effectiveness to act like a more genuine Battle Harem.

* Film/{{Dolemite}} is a pimp with his own stable of karate-trained prostitutes.

* ''LightNovel/IsThisAZombie'': The harem consists of a {{Necromancer}}, a MagicalGirl, and three [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampire]] [[GratuitousNinja Ninja]].

** Yuuya from ''LightNovel/MuvLuvAlternativeTotalEclipse'' gained one during his time with project prominence.

* Invoked in ''LightNovel/BeingAbleToEditSkillsInAnotherWorldIGainedOpWaifus'': Nagi's unique "restructuring" skill can only work on himself and his female slaves, all of whom he makes seriously overpowered in battle.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'':

* ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'': The more girls who join in the [[TrueCompanions Occult Research Club]], the more girls [[ChivalrousPervert Issei]] [[HaremSeeker gets.]] Said girls include [[StuffBlowingUp Rias]], [[ShockAndAwe Akeno]], [[{{BFS}} Xenovia]], [[TheMedic Asia]], and [[CuteBruiser Koneko]]. Later with the addition of [[{{Valkyries}} Rossweisse]], [[ThePhoenix Ravel]] [[SixthRanger Phenex]], [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Irina]] [[InnocentFanserviceGirl Shidou]] and [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Ophis]]. Take note, these are just ''the girls''. [[EvenTheGuysWantHim This isn't even including]] [[TheAce Kiba]] and [[TimeStandsStill Gasper]].

* ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'': The result of having an UnwantedHarem equipped with PoweredArmor. As Ichika's co-homeroom teacher Maya once stated, with his force of six representative pilots (Let us count them all, shall we? We have representatives from Japan, England, China, France, Germany, [[spoiler: Russia, and possibly America]]), he has more than enough to "start a war."

* [[ChickMagnet Soujirou]], a supporting character in ''LightNovel/LogHorizon'', has one in the form of his guild the West Wind Brigade which is mainly composed of female players. Since it is considered to be one of the top combat guilds in Akihabara despite its relatively small size (around 60 members), its members can be assumed to be all very strong. And they are all head over heels in love with Soujirou. [[PlayedForLaughs Somehow]].
