Boyfriend-Blocking Dad in Video Games.
- Art of Fighting: Part of the reason Robert hasn't gotten anywhere with Yuri, is her father, who also happens to be his sensei and, quite possibly, the most powerful martial artist on the face of the planet. Takuma doesn't care that she's an adult, or that she's mutually attracted to Robert, he isn't gonna let it happen.
On the other hand, he has no problem with his son dating and actively encourages it. - A sidequest in Baldur's Gate 2 deals with one of these. The Boyfriend-Blocking Dad in this case is a Cowled Wizard who has forbidden his daughter from marrying her boyfriend since he doesn't think the young man is up to the task of protecting her. He has been building a Golem that he thinks will be a better guardian and asks you to obtain the last ingredient he needs to complete it. After you deliver it to him, the golem predictably goes out of control and nearly kills the wizard and his daughter. After you save the wizard's sorry behind, the boyfriend rushes in to see if the daughter is safe. Seeing the boyfriend's devotion to his daughter and realizing that his own controlling nature nearly killed her, the wizard gives the young couple his blessings for their marriage.
- City of Heroes: The Clockwork King isn't Penelope Yin's real father, but he seems to think he is:Clockwork King: Don't worry, Penny! I'm here to protect you!
I'll keep you safe from everything!
Safe from villains, from Rikti, from heroes, from boys...
You'll be my little Clockwork Princess, safe and happy forever! - Subverted with Uncle Tommy in Double Homework. He intimidates the protagonist about his relationship with Morgan at their first meeting, but he's actually joking. In Morgan's epilogue, he says point-blank that he doesn't care if the teen couple are having sex.
- Disgaea 2: Overlord Zenon raised his daughter Rozalin in an isolated mansion with hundreds of servants catering to her every whim. Rozalin actually liked it, at least until the plot happened. Then it's subverted and deconstructed when it turns out Zenon's doing this for vengeance, not love. Rozalin's the reincarnation of his greatest enemy, the original Overlord Zenon. Zenon's idea of a perfect revenge was to turn the once-mighty Overlord into a weak, helpless little girl completely dependent and loyal to him. The manga does imply that he came to care for her, though.
- Etrian Odyssey V: Beyond the Myth: There's a sidequest, available after the player's party unlocks the fourth stratum, that revolves around a female Therian who is in love with a male Celestrian... but because her father looks at Celestrians with Fantastic Racism due to their affinity with magical arts, he doesn't approve of the relationship. The male Celestrian ventures through the Yggdrasil Labyrinth to prove his worth and show his future father-in-law that he's strong enough to protect his daughter. He ends up wounded badly, but the player's party saves his life. The father commends the Celestrian's courage, and promises to train him hard so he grows stronger in combat and then becomes a worthy husband for the now-happy Therian.
- Fantasy Maiden's Odd Hideout: Bernd's father is a rare Girlfriend-Blocking Dad, and Played for Drama at that, as he really does seem to love his son, and it is for this reason that he will not let Ange get anywhere near him, even being willing to flat-out murder her.
- In Final Fantasy XIII, Lightning serves essentially as this with her attitude toward Snow and Serah's engagement, despite being Serah's older sister rather than her dad. Their parents died a long time ago and Lightning raised Serah, though, so it fits in that regard.
- Fire Emblem:
- Bartre from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade is like this about his daughter Fir, who wants to be a swordmaster like her mother who died of sickness whom he actually met in the combat arena being an axe-wielding warrior himself, so begin feeling sorry for the poor boy who has the misfortune of being her love interest (Noah). See this fan-art.◊
- Hector in Fire Emblem Heroes is completely against the idea of Roy (Eliwood's son) trying to pull anything that may seem romantic on Lilina (his daughter). In his own words, he will damn make sure he will stop Lilina from marrying anyone. Luckily, Roy and Lilina don't even know the lengths he'll go to stop them both. He's even like this in his debut game, Fire Emblem: The Blazing Sword, when after having a dream regarding Roy taking Lilina away, he lashes out at Eliwood for allowing it (to Eliwood's confusion).
- Seteth in Fire Emblem: Three Houses acts this way towards his daughter Flayn. After her mother's death and her injuries in the War of Heroes, Seteth kept her in hiding for fear that others would attempt to use her Crest for nefarious purposes. His treatment of her is Played for Laughs to some degree, as he takes his role as her "big brother" in the present day seriously, intimidating any man who tries to get close to her.
- Bartre from Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade is like this about his daughter Fir, who wants to be a swordmaster like her mother who died of sickness whom he actually met in the combat arena being an axe-wielding warrior himself, so begin feeling sorry for the poor boy who has the misfortune of being her love interest (Noah). See this fan-art.
- Friday Night Funkin': The entire plot revolves around the main protagonist attempting to win over the respect of his girlfriend's father, who is quite literally a demon and will not let him date her unless he proves his worth ... through a battle of music. Even after he's beaten, he sends an assassin to kill the player just for showing him up, demands a rematch while holding a Mall Santa at gunpoint, and throws him into a video game for good measure. And, to top it off, he's said to have done this to multiple men in the past, as the player finds out once he encounters the malevolent spirit of another person trapped in the game. There's overprotective, and then there's just plain ridiculous.
- In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Peater is always suspicious of how his daughter Peatrice behaves. He quickly jumps to conclusions that she's found a "suitor" even when none exists (though Link can fill that role if need be), and perhaps more cruelly, he's happy when Peatrice is upset, as he figures that means she broke up with whoever the boy was.
- Gideon Starling in Lollipop Chainsaw doesn't care much for Nick. At first.
- Majikoi! Love Me Seriously!: Chris's father Frank is both overprotective of her and a high-ranking General in the German military.

Given that Yamato wants to do just that during Chris's route, this puts the two of them at loggerheads.
- Mass Effect 2: After recruiting Tali, Shepard receives an e-mail from the Quarian Admiralty Board, essentially saying in very official-sounding speak that Tali is now under Shepard's command, and that Shepard will be held responsible if any harm comes to her with "severe and appropriate action". At the end, it's revealed that the message was written by Tali's father specifically, essentially threatening call a fleet on Shepard's ass if his daughter ever gets hurt.
- Professor Gaudile from Mega Man X: Command Mission created Cinnamon, and keeps her sheltered for most of her life in his laboratory, stemming from Gaudile's distrust of anything or anyone from the outside world. This leaves the girl a bit naïve about a couple of things, like befriending the thief who's come to kidnap her (although, it turns out that the thief isn't such a baddie anyway).
- In Namco High, Dig Dug is this to his son, Mr. Driller. When you play Mr. Driller's route, it's revealed Dig Dug wants to prevent his son from making the same mistakes that alienated his ex-wife from him, but all this does is make Mr. Driller resent his dad. In addition, he gives Cousin triple detention upon finding out Mr. Driller and Cousin have feelings for each other, and then later quadruple detention when Mr. Driller kisses Cousin on their cheek.
- Bianca's father in Pokémon Black and White, but around Pokémon rather than dating. He eventually comes round to the idea, though.
- Throughout Shadow Hearts: From The New World, Johnny interacts with the Ring Soul, a glowing ball of light with the personality of a young girl. After a while, she starts to get a crush on him. The next time you speak to it after this becomes obvious, Johnny is rather surprised when the Ring Soul starts yelling at him to stay away from his daughter. Fans of the series will recognize the latter as the Ring Soul from the previous game, Covenant. They will also realize this means the Ring Soul you usually talk to is no more than ten years old.
- Shepherd's Crossing 2 has a rare example of a father being overprotective of a son. The mayor's son is one of the potential options for the Romance Sidequest, but the mayor is very reluctant to let his son marry the PC. He needs a lot of convincing to be shown that you're good enough for him.

He's shown sitting out front with a cannon, with a large group of men too scared to approach. However, in this case, his daughter asked him to screen her potential suitors.
- Stardew Valley: Downplayed with Maru's father Demetrius in one Cut Scene. His comment is pretty mild, but it occurs so early (you only need 2 hearts with Maru to see it, compared to 8 to formally date her and 10 to get married) that you may expect him to get worse as the friendship grows.Demetrius: stern look I wouldn't want anything getting in the way of her bright future, know what I mean?
- Tequila & Boom Boom: Melissa's father. When Tequila walks Melissa home, her father threatens the lynx and opens fire on him with a rifle. Later, when Tequila pays off the family's debt at the general store, Melissa's father still isn't happy with his daughter kissing Tequila as thanks.

- Trails Series: Tita's mother Erika is a rare case of a Boyfriend Blocking Mom, who makes no effort to hide her disdain for the subject of her daughter's Precocious Crush, Agate.

- Inverted in Yandere Simulator. Yandere-chan's father does not disapprove of her getting involved with a boy because he is afraid of him doing something to her. He disapproves because he is afraid of her doing something to him.
