Shining Armor is a BarrierWarrior powerful enough to surround the entire city of Canterlot in a forcefield and is captain of the Royal Guard. Princess Cadance is a LoveGoddess (which [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower is a lot more badass than it sounds]]). By combining their magic, they kick [[BigBad Queen Chrysalis]] and her entire army clear out of Equestria with a HeartBeatDown ''on the day of their own wedding''. A couple of episodes later, both unable to use their magic, they still help save the Crystal Empire from [[BigBad King Sombra]] with a well-executed FastballSpecial.

%%
%%
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** In the original cartoon, we have the male and female Autobots. Given that they're soldiers and there's a war going on, it comes with the territory.
** In Transformers: Beast Wars, Blackarachnia and Silverbolt and Airazor and Tigatron are this. The former flirted while fighting each other and then she came over to his side. The latter spent quality time together during patrols in the wilderness. In Transformers: Beast Machines there's Strika and Obsidian.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'':
** Billy and Canyon were shown to be this in the episode "Billy's Bucket List". Finn and Flame Princess almost became like this in the episode "Vault of Bones", but near the end when Flame Princess suggests going on a dungeon crawl again some time, Finn replies "Maybe we should just go to a farmer's market next time".
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'':
** Green Lantern and Hawkgirl discuss dinner plans while on patrols or stake outs. In fact, Hawkgirl's idea of a date is starting bar fights.
** Defied example; to Franchise/WonderWoman's dismay, ''not'' her and Batman. The Dark Knight has gone on record saying he doesn't like romance between team members.
** ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited''
*** Black Canary and Green Arrow; they fight together and she will occasionally [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar be seen at his house, in the morning, in pajamas....]]
*** Huntress and ComicBook/TheQuestion; she provides the muscle while he does his hacking / investigating thing. On one such occasion, she complained that they spent more time together on missions than dates.
*** Another defied example: to Hawkman's dismay, ''not'' him and Hawkgirl. She thought he was LovingAShadow because of an encounter with an overpowering HeartDrive.
*** Green Lantern and ''Comicbook/{{Vixen}}'', another member of league that Jon started dating after the drama with Hawk Girl.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'':
** Aang and Katara are easily this; although they don't officially become a couple [[spoiler: until the final scene of the series proper]], the amount of times they've fought together side-by-side, saved each other, fought alongside the rest of their TrueCompanions, fought the same battle separately or independently, did other war-related stuff together, trained together, supported each other and, generally just went through Aang's entire journey of ending a hundred-year war together [[spoiler:before that point]], can at least be tallied up to half the number of episodes in the series (61). [[spoiler:And that's not even counting the comics.]]
** Sokka and Suki have this as CharacterDevelopment. When they first met, neither took the other seriously as a warrior; him because she was a girl and her because he lacked training. On their second meeting, Sokka was super overprotective of her because of what happened to Yue. On their third meeting, both of them have matured enough to fight as equals, and have shared several kisses.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
** Korra and Mako become this by the end of season one, with 'Endgame' showing off this trope beautifully in tagteam against Amon. Although the battle comes just before the couple, the feelings were already on the table. Subverted in that they don't ''remain'' a couple, as they decide to stay as JustFriends in season 2.
** Similarly Korra and [[spoiler:[[BiTheWay Asami]]]] only get together at the {{Grand Finale}}, having already fought together. Where their relationship transitioned from [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship friendship]] to [[RelationShipUpgrade romantic]] is a bit more complicated.
** Varrick and Zhu Li, briefly. Though they've mostly worked [[TheSmartGuy on the tech side of things]], they go into the field against [[spoiler:Kuvira's giant mech]] right after he proposes to her.
---> '''Varrick:''' Now let's go attach these barely functioning rust buckets to a giant killer smashing machine!
---> '''Zhu Li:''' It's exactly how I always pictured our engagement!
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Robin and Starfire have the protectiveness and combos (see image links) but are stuck in the SheIsNotMyGirlfriend stage until the ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo Trouble in Tokyo]]'' movie.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'':
** Obi-Wan and Satine ([[BackToBackBadasses at their best!]])
** Anakin and Padme ([[GuysSmashGirlsShoot of course]])
** [[spoiler:[[FoeYay Obi-Wan and Asajj Ventress]]]]
* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'':
** Miss Martian and Lagoon Boy take water based missions together. The latter enjoys all this time alone with his 'angelfish'. Miss Martian's previous boyfriend, Superboy, was pissed off by her [[PayEvilUntoEvil brutal battle tactics]] and broke off their relationship.
** Kid Flash and Artemis were this for a while. Then they became {{Retired Badass}}es. [[spoiler: Then they treat a save-the-world mission in Paris like a date.]]
** Red Arrow and Cheshire are married after the TimeSkip. They have a BackToBackBadasses [[BadassAndBaby with a baby]] scene while infiltrating one of The Light's bases.
** Bumblebee and Guardian II; adding 'battle' to their 'couple' improved their relationship because they spent more time together.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'' gives us BadassNormal Caleb and the Guardian of Earth Cornelia. Around the end of the series they're followed by [[spoiler: Will and her boyfriend Matt, who gets upgraded from UnderstandingBoyfriend to her fighting partner when he gains access to the powers once held only by his SuperpoweredEvilSide]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' has The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend, later known as Dr. Mrs. The Monarch. Although most of the time Dr. Girlfriend is shown as far more capable than her leader/boyfriend/husband, when it comes to straight fighting they complement each other well.
* Enzo and [=AndrAIa=] of ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'''s second season. On the rare ocassion that they aren't busting viruses or traveling the Net va Game Cubes, they can be seen on a date.
%%* The title characters from ''DelilahAndJulius''.
* Kevin and Gwen from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce''. If someone touches one of them, the other will either run to their side or beat up the bad guy (usually then running to the other's side anyway).
%%* In ''WesternAnimation/TheTransformers'', Optimus Prime and Elita One. Also, Ironhide and Chromia. Arcee does this with Springer in the cartoon, Bumblebee in the DP comics, and was intended to have/is hinted at having had this with Hot Rod.
%%** Arcee and Cliffjumper may have been this in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime''.
%%* Silverbolt and Blackarachnia in ''WesternAnimation/BeastWars/[[WesternAnimation/BeastMachines Machines]]''. Obsidian and Strika are a villainous version.
* WesternAnimation/KimPossible and Ron Stoppable. He starts out as her sidekick, but they upgrade to an actual couple and he gains his Monkey Kung-fu powers. In the finale, [[spoiler: he ends up saving the world]] when they face an alien battle couple. In the words of Shego, "The sidekick stepped up!", indeed.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'': They may not have done much about it in the series, but Niko and Shane qualify. Even [[WordOfGod the series creator]] admits he planned to marry them off!
* ''WesternAnimation/DaveTheBarbarian'': The parents choosing to be a Battle Couple sets up the premise of the series. They went off on a world tour to smite evil and left their daughter, Candance in charge of the kingdom.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has [[MagicKnight Shining Armor]] and [[BadassPrincess Princess Cadance]]. Shining Armor is a BarrierWarrior powerful enough to surround the entire city of Canterlot in a forcefield and is captain of the Royal Guard. Princess Cadance is a LoveGoddess (which [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower is a lot more badass than it sounds]]). By combining their magic, they kick [[BigBad Queen Chrysalis]] and her entire army clear out of Equestria with a HeartBeatDown ''on the day of their own wedding''. A couple of episodes later, both unable to use their magic, they still help save the Crystal Empire from [[BigBad King Sombra]] with a well-executed FastballSpecial.
* Wilhelm and Vito from the student film ''WesternAnimation/TalesOfAlethrion'' count as this, representing the classic SwordAndSorcerer.
* ''WesternAnimation/SuperRobotMonkeyTeamHyperforceGo'':
** Downplayed with KidHero Chiro and RobotGirl Jinmay. They never get to fight together, but they are a couple since the very first episode and ever since Jinmay TookALevelInBadass at the beginning of Season 3, they surely are protective of each other.
** AcePilot Sprx and PintSizedPowerhouse Nova. They usually fight side-by-side, have a few battle combos and if you hurt one of them, the other will kick your ass.
* ''WesternAnimation/RoswellConspiracies'': Nick Logan and his banshee partner, Sh'lainn Blaze, fight beside each other much of the time and by the end of the series have become a couple.
* Jack and Maddie Fenton on ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' are ghost-hunters who fight side-by-side when they aren't at home raising their two children together.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama,'' in the first episode after [[AwesomeAussie Jasmine]] and [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Shawn]] hook up, they have to work together to infiltrate the island's secret control center. Their first kiss comes while dodging security lasers, and she's practically swooning when she watches him take out an entire army of [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot "zombie" robotic reality hosts]].
* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
** Steven and Connie promise to be there to protect each other when danger comes. This is more evident in "Sworn to the Sword" where they both use their shield and sword skills effectively against several Holo-Pearls and even Pearl herself. This continues in "Nightmare Hospital", where they dispatch two gem mutants in a matter of seconds. In "Crack the Whip" they follow Ruby and Sapphire's example [[spoiler:by fusing into Stevonnie to fight Jasper.]]
** Ruby and Sapphire are a DiscountLesbians example. Their method of fighting is to do so while [[spoiler: [[FusionDance fused together as Garnet]]]].
* ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'' turns Aladdin's fiancee Princess Jasmine into a full-blown ActionGirl, making them a perfect example of a Battle Couple within a team of heroes.
* [[SwissArmyWeapon Zeke]] and [[FemmeFatale Josephine]] Clench from ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' are a bit of a subversion in that they ''used'' to be this, at least until Zeke [[CrowningMomentOfFunny filed a restraining order against her]]. They ''do'' team up once more against Jack when they both realize alone they can't hope to beat him, and actually make such a formidable team that they '''[[NearVillainVictory would have won]]''' had Josephine not gone back to her old tricks and betrayed Zeke, giving Jack the chance to escape and throw them from the train.
** Season five has Jack end up in a BattleCouple relationship himself, with [[spoiler:Ashi, the last surviving Daughter of Aku]]. Their RelationshipUpgrade even occurs right after an intense monster fight in episode XCIX.
