Spirit instead runs afoul of the very force it was supposed to protect the boy from and suffers 10 years of torture. Spirit can't understand why the boy they love ''so much'' would let them suffer like this. Driven mad by the pain, spirit can only conclude that love and suffering must actually the same thing, that way it can dismiss its torment as just the boy's way of showing it love. Now spirit is back and wants to [[TheMasochismTango return the favour]], which it does with all the dedication of someone genuinely in love.

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
** Dr. Tōfū would begin acting bizarrely whenever Kasumi Tendō is around, or even simply ''mentioned.'' This makes him very dangerous as he'll often be in the middle of treating a patient, and once bent Ranma's neck at a ninety-degree angle.
** This also covers Ranma's fiancées (Akane, Shampoo, and Ukyō) fairly well. When first introduced to the series, they conduct their courtships in a relatively calm, normal fashion. As Ranma continues to ignore them, they slowly grow more desperate -- and more extreme. Magic, deception, violence, all of these become legitimate avenues of pursuit towards romantic happiness. Ranma's rivals, meanwhile, enter the series in this state.
** Kodachi Kunō, on the other hand, was [[MadLove already crazy]] before love even entered the picture.

** Dr. Hell can be a subversion because he was already quite unstable and troubled before... but when he was in college and fell in love with a cute Japanese exchange student he started behaving obsessively (getting angry if someone dared to spend time with her) and erratically (his grades started slipping because he was too obsessed to study). When he found out she was in love with another person, he flipped out completely and tried to MurderTheHypotenuse by storming into the campus with a shotgun!

Spirit can't understand why the boy they love ''so much'' would let them suffer like this. Driven mad by the pain, spirit can only conclude that love and suffering must actually the same thing, that way it can dismiss its torment as just the boy's way of showing it love. Now spirit is back and wants to [[TheMasochismTango return the favour]], which it does with all the dedication of someone genuinely in love.
* ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'': Shun Kurosaki towards his sister. When she gets kidnapped, he does a lot of dark things to try and get her back, despite evidence that he's attacking the wrong people. Fortunately, he figures this out and turns his attention to the right people.

** However, the ''real'' winner is [[spoiler: Jack Vessalius]], whose obsessive love for Laci causes him to trigger the events of the entire series. He essentially wants to ''destroy the world'' for the woman he's loved since childhood, because he believes it will ease her loneliness.
* ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'':
** Sayaka Miki's love for a childhood friend is unfulfilled, driving her berserk, [[spoiler: and eventually turning her into a huge mermaid monster.]] Though in her case, her love was ''just'' a catalyst; the poor girl already had SERIOUS issues from long before she was unfulfilled.
** In the [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagicaTheMovieRebellion Rebellion]] movie, [[spoiler: Homura's love for Madoka turns her into the devil.]]
* ''Anime/CodeGeass'': Poor Nina Einstein. She started as an inoffensive ShrinkingViolet, only to develop a crush on [[RebelliousPrincess Princess Euphemia]] after she saved Nina (and others) from terrorists, and went kinda [[PsychoLesbian loopy]], earning her the label of TheScrappy among the fandom. Then things went worse: [[spoiler:Euphemia is killed by the terrorist Zero, which sends Nina off the deep end, leading her to develop the world's first atomic bomb. It fails, but the Britannians hire her as a researcher, and eventually her perfected bomb leads to the destruction of a good chunk of Tokyo and the ten million people in it. Not helping matters at all is the fact that she was practically rabid in ordering its use up until she saw the SphereOfDestruction (and the 35 million deaths) it caused, only then getting her MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment.]]
* The ultimate cause of ''Manga/TsubasaReservoirChronicle'', as both motivation of the villain Fei Wong (who wants to resurrect the technically-not-dead [[spoiler: Yuuko Ichihara]] and also at one point the motivation of the hero (it's crazy due to what they are both willing to ''do''- it's [[LoveMakesYouEvil evil]], yes, but also completely fucking bonkers). At a specific point in the backstory the hero, in the madness of love, chose to turn back time so he could save the girl he was in love with. This act ''borked the entire time-space continuum.''
** Since the two series are connected ([[spoiler:as are their heroes]]), this means that love driving people nutso is also the source of ''Manga/XxxHOLiC''. It is, in fact, the source of the main character, since [[spoiler: he is a duplicate of the Tsubasa hero created when time was fucked up]].
* Inverted[[note]]without actually being LoveRedeems[[/note]] in the ''[[Manga/WildFangs Wild Series]]''. When they have a master, manbeasts will not lose their minds and attack humans, and that bond is based around love ([[LoveAtFirstSight whether they want it]] [[BelligerentSexualTension or not]]). So basically, love makes you sane in this case.

* ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'' has [[spoiler:Shion Sonozaki]]. This does not end well. A more fitting trope for her than {{Yandere}} due to the [[HatePlague cause]] of her craziness.
* ''Anime/{{K}}'''s Fushimi Saruhiko is the most insane character in the whole show ([[spoiler: aside from the Colorless King]]) and all just because he wants [[spoiler: Yata Misaki]] to notice him. It goes so far that he does everything to make [[spoiler: Misaki]] hate him just so he wouldn't be ignored. When he is with SCEPTER 4 he's just a [[DeadpanSnarker very snarky]] and rather cold young man but once [[spoiler: Misaki]] pops up he goes into [[AxCrazy crazy]] [[{{Yandere}} obsessive]] [[AttentionWhore "just notice me"]] mode.
* One of the creepiest examples comes from Minoru Murao's ''Manga/{{Knights}}''. Of all people, [[spoiler: Nina, the cute little girl of the cast]] goes nuts when she assumes that the object of her affection Mist is physically involved with his MsFanservice companion Euphemia. Her response is to [[spoiler: lead a supernatural agent of the CorruptChurch (the same Church that nearly ''burned her at the stake after accusing her of being a witch'') to kill him. She even shoots him in the leg with a crossbow. Her motivation? To ''send his soul to Hell'', where it will be "purified", then ''join him in death so they can be together for all eternity'']]. Keep in mind that this guy ''saved her life'' in the first few chapters, which is why [[RescueRomance she's so hung up on him in the first place]]. This is borderline LoveMakesYouEvil. To her credit, she does eventually realize just how utterly screwed up she was and works to undo her actions.
* ''Manga/KoharuNoHibi'': Koharu in regards to Akira. She stalks him, obsesses over him, and devotes her whole life to him. In Chapter 21 she even told him she would die if he asked her to.
* Gunter from ''LightNovel/KyoKaraMaoh''. At first, Gunter seems a little like an idiot, or perhaps more like a teenage girl in love. He tends to be rather overprotective of Yuuri, fussing over every little thing and freaking out whenever he goes missing. Supposedly (at least in the manga), Gunter was actually quite an organized and professional man before he met Yuuri.
* [[spoiler:Seimei]] from ''Manga/{{Loveless}}'' is known to have [[spoiler:faked his own death, killed, manipulated and {{Mind Rape}}d countless people, abandoned his family, tricked everyone with his seemingly polite nature, and basically controlled Ritsuka's (the main character) life. All because, according to him, he is insecure and wanted to test Ritsuka's love for him.]] [[PaedoHunt Have we mentioned that Ritsuka is only twelve years old?]] [[BrotherSisterIncest And that he's his brother]]?
* ''Anime/MazingerZ'':
** Dr. Hell can be a subversion because he was already quite unstable and troubled before... but when he was in college and fell in love with a cute Japanese exchange student he started behaving obsessively (getting angry if someone dared to spend time with her) and erratically (his grades started slipping because he was too obsessed to study). When he found out she was in love with another person, he flipped out completely and tried to MurderTheHypotenuse by storming into the campus with a shotgun!
** Boss also tended to act in a very dumb, irrational, and even obsessive way when he was in presence of Sayaka or ''[[Anime/GreatMazinger Jun Hono]]''. Sayaka tended to ignore it, but Jun did not appreciate it or find it amusing.
* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', [[spoiler:this is revealed to be the true nature of the Uchiha Clan's curse, crossed over with LoveMakesYouEvil. They do not ''lack'' love; '''''they love too much'''''. When they witness the death of a loved one, it activates the sharingan, literally born out of the hate that was born out of that loss. The deeper they delve into that hatred, the stronger their eyes get, but as a side effect they become hateful, bitter, cynical, and as Sasuke, Tobi, and to a lesser extent, Madara, show us, downright insane. This is why Tobirama Senju, the Second Hokage, considered them a "cursed clan".]]
* Gendo in ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' is a MagnificentBastard who takes the phrase 'you're worth the world to me' to its (insanely) logical conclusion. [[spoiler:He tries to bring about the apocalypse, in fervent belief that this will reunite his mind and soul with that of his wife, Yui.

She's eventually revealed to have ''extracted Deldro's blood'' and put it inside the resident hot guy Dog Hummer because she didn't think Deldro was hot enough. (Don't worry, though.

This seems at first to be Obelix's {{Cloudcuckoolander}} personality, but it becomes a RunningGag with every other character who witnesses his freak-outs assuming the same thing.

* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'''s interactions with recurrer Josh Mankey (and a few other select young men) cause her to do some irrational things when she really ought to know better. Josh isn't actually a bad guy, but fans tend to [[DieForOurShip vilify him for the influence he holds over Kim]]. Trouble with romantic relationships remains her major AchillesHeel for the entire series, to the point that Dr. Drakken's ultimate plan to stop her from interfering during TheMovie involves a new boyfriend. Sidekick Ron is not much better, doing crazy stuff for almost any reason all the time, but on Kim it's far more noticeable given [[CompressedVice her usual hyper-competence and level-headed nature]]. By contrast, her RelationshipUpgrade with Ron in Season 4 had no negative effects on her behavior.
* The Maximal Silverbolt in ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}: WesternAnimation/BeastWars'', despite being as heroic and noble as they come, did some highly illogical things for the love of the Predacon Blackarachnia, mainly because of the aforementioned heroism and nobility. Of course, in the end he was right about her, but it was foolish at the time, and he was punished for it. In this case, the other Maximals thought love had made him crazy, when in fact he just had some insight.
* All over the place in ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold''. Besides Helga's complete obsession with Arnold, whenever Arnold is around Ruth (and later, Lila), he ends up acting very nuts indeed.
