* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' there's Lysa towards Petyr, and Petyr towards Lysa's older sister Cat. [[MadLove Lysa]] [[spoiler: raped Petyr [[DudeShesLikeInAComa whilst he was drugged, delirious and insensible]] twice in the backstory, with him possibly believing she was her sister.]] Petyr, who UsedToBeASweetKid, was left unhinged and bitter after being rejected by Catelyn, so he decided to ''[deep breath]'' [[spoiler:manipulate Lysa into killing her husband and accusing House Lannister of the murder, all in order to draw Catelyn's own husband, Ned, to the DecadentCourt of Westeros, driving a wedge of tension between Houses Stark and Lannister. The end result: Ned was executed for treason, fanning the flames of aforementioned tension, which grew into a spectacularly bloody, continent-wide civil war, leaving thousands dead, the land ravaged and the economy hanging on by a thread just before the start of a winter that could last for generations!]] All of this, just because Petyr DidNotGetTheGirl! The guy takes {{Yandere}} to a [[UpToEleven whole new level of insanity.]]

* In ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryCult'', Ally Mayfair-Richards is married to Ivy, who despite initially seeming to be a supportive wife is actually [[spoiler: in on the titular Cult, and in fact actively ''hates'' Ally, having sent the Cult after her to drive her insane and get full custody of their son.]] Their babysitter, Winter, is ObviouslyEvil and is [[TheDragon working for her brother's nefarious plans,]] and Winter ends up fingering Ally in her bathtub, [[QuestionableConsent with Ally dubiously at best consenting]] to this. Taken UpToEleven after both the reveal that [[spoiler: Ivy and Winter were actually having an affair,]] as well as Ally [[spoiler: later murdering Ivy as well as framing Winter as TheMole and getting her killed by Kai.]]

* Played with in some Creator/MayuShinjo mangas. At first the male love interest will be a {{Yandere}} and BastardBoyfriend while his GirlNextDoor girlfriend will be more or less normal. Then, the girl who will appear to challenge said GirlNextDoor will turn out to be a {{Yandere}} ClingyJealousGirl... meaning that the two yanderes do ''not'' compete for someone else, but the crazy dude is the target of both a crazy girl and a non-crazy one.
** ''Manga/SensualPhrase'': Sakuya (BastardBoyfriend), Aine (Normal Girl), Ayako ({{Yandere}} girl)

[[caption-width-right:345:Personally, I'd prefer the high-carbon steel to the stainless, plus heft and grip make a big difference...[[ComicallyMissingThePoint oh, wait, this is about the girls?]]]]

* ''Manga/DeathNote'': [[AmbitionIsEvil Kiyomi Takada and [[PsychoSupporter Misa Amane vie for the affections of [[ManipulativeBastard Light Yagami]], who is not in love with anyone. Both women qualify as complete yanderes, but [[AGodAmI Light]] is just as crazy, if not more so, than either of them. Misa also seeks the psychopathic [[LightIsNotGood Light]]'s affections and instead finds herself the object of [[AmbiguousDisorder L]]'s attraction - that is, when he's not [[ExaltedTorturer torturing her for information]] (or perhaps especially then?). Then there's the pounds of FoeRomanceSubtext hints that Light may have a thing for L, which may or may not be reciprocated, despite the fact that L knows he's a SerialKiller and Light later [[spoiler:kills him]].

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Loly and Menolly both think they have a love rival in Orihime because they believe Aizen has an interest in her. So they beat her up and attempt to kill her. However, Aizen has no interest in any of them. Loly also seemed to have quite a bit of FoeYay towards Orihime.
* ''Manga/DeathNote'' features one, in which both [[{{ItsAllAboutMe}} Kiyomi]] [[{{AmbitionIsEvil}} Takada]] and [[PsychoSupporter Misa]] [[LoveMartyr Amane]] vie for the affections of [[CuteAndPsycho Light]] [[{{ManipulativeBastard}} Yagami]], who is not in love with anyone. Both women qualify as complete yanderes, but [[AGodAmI Light]] is just as crazy, if not more so, than either of them.
** Played even more strangely before then, where Misa also seeks the psychopathic [[LightIsNotGood Light]]'s affections and instead finds herself the object of [[AmbiguousDisorder L]]'s attraction - that is, when he's not [[ExaltedTorturer torturing her for information]] (or perhaps especially then?). Then there's the pounds of FoeYay hints that Light may have a thing for L, which may or may not be reciprocated, despite the fact that L knows he's a SerialKiller and Light later [[spoiler:kills him]].

* ''Manga/DeathNote'' features one, in which both [[{{ItsAllAboutMe}} Kiyomi]] [[{{AmbitionIsEvil}} Takada]] and [[PsychoSupporter Misa]] [[LoveMartyr Amane]] vie for the affections of [[CuteAndPsycho Light]] [[{{ManipulativeBastard}} Yagami]], who is [[{{Asexual}} not in love with anyone]]. Both women qualify as complete yanderes, but [[AGodAmI Light]] is just as crazy, if not more so, than either of them.

Sakura is one to his "big brother" Shinohome whom also becomes more obsessed with Shiro after he manages to cut his hair to escape from him when he made him his SexSlave with him doing morally objectionable things when trying to get him back.

* The 90s ''Manga/SailorMoon'' anime has Prince Diamond acting like a {{Yandere}} towards her when she's already in love with Mamoru/Darien and Emerald acting like a {{Yandere}} towards Prince Diamond.

There's also Queen Beryl, Dark Lady, Fish Eye (anime only), Fiore (movie), Nehelenia (anime only) all developing villainous crushes on Mamoru some to a yandere extent.

** When Souma mellows out and stops being {{Yandere}}, DepravedBisexual Dr. Katsuragi comes into view, making ''both'' him and Sakurako {{Yandere}} for Souma. Katsuragi loved Souma since they were children, and is upset that Souma loves Masataka [[spoiler:so he rapes and tortures Masataka with the intent to drive him away from Souma. Masataka escapes, but is left scarred and traumatised. Souma finds out, confronts Katsuragi on his bullshit and deals him a brutal HumiliationConga... that Katsuragi's wife transforms into KarmicDeath.]] As for Sakurako, [[spoiler:she eventually snaps so badly that she tries to kill Souma and Masataka, then is DrivenToSuicide.]]

* In ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'' Motoyasu's death resulted due to him not wanting to chose one of his two female friends over the other. Both girls responded by stabbing him to death while arguing over who would go to heaven with him.

* ''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' initally has both Rize and Tsukiyama mixing murderous and amorous attentions to Kaneki. Tsukiyama retains his feelings for Kaneki into the sequel and it also features Kanae who is {{Yandere}} for Tsukiyama, Romo wanting to ruin Sasaki's life in order to get him to become the beautiful and tragic Kaneki she adores, and Eto varying between trying to kill Kaneki and declaring her love for him because of his violence towards her. Also there's a popular fan theory that Touka initially had yandere feelings for Kaneki as she brutally beat the crap out of him while verbally attacking him for leaving her and now in chapter 114 of re Mutsuki has joined the fray as he has a violent and romantic obsession with Sasaki/Kaneki. Matsuri is implied to be a yandere in regards to his feelings for Urie and Urie is violently protective with a implied crush for Mutsuki.

* The yaoi manga ''Manga/UnderGrandHotel'' has Swordfish being a Yandere for Sen who loves Swordfish back. There's also Norman who's in love with Swordfish but pretended to be in love with Sen so he could get closer to Swordfish. He tried to persuade Swordfish to kill Sen but that didn't work. So, on one occasion when there was a scuffle going on he tried to get Sen out of the way by stabbing him with a pencil but accidentally ends up stabbing his inmate Walter instead who was trying to protect Sen in the hope of getting protection from Swordfish. When he finds this out, Norman holds a knife to Walter's neck telling him, "If you don't want to die, don't butt in again Walter!" And in the first few scenes we see Lain Brody he gives Sen a blowjob, strips him, drugs him and outright molests him as he's drugged (including telling him "No way in hell am I letting Swordfish kill you. Because he doesn't love you. I'm the only one that can kill you."), rapes him with a mop handle, ties him up and hides him in a dryer. And when Swordfish finds Sen he gives him CPR. Lain responds to this by stabbing Fish in the arm with a fork and tries to stab him again while screaming at him, "Get off of Sen! He belongs to me!" Immediately after that Lain is shot and killed by security guards.

* ''Fanfic/ThousandShinji'': The three members of the triangle are psychopathic in this story due to their allegiance to the ''[[TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 Chaos Gods]]''. Asuka (a HotBlooded, [[TheBerserker berserker]] {{Tsundere}}) and Rei (a CreepyChild {{Yandere}}) love Shinji (a ManipulativeBastard and {{Jerkass}}). Shinji is in love with Asuka and regards Rei like a sister. Rei gets frustrated about it and often fantasizes with getting Asuka killed, but she dreads what Shinji would do to her in retaliation. At the same time Asuka is ''very violently'' protective from Shinji and would slay with extreme prejudice whoever tried to take him away from her. A battle to death, a murder attempt and much drama and enmity later, the situation was peacefully settled [[spoiler:when they agreed to have a [[{{Polyamory}} three-ways relationship]].]]

* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' there's Lysa towards Petyr, and Petyr towards Lysa's older sister Cat. [[MadLove Lysa]] [[spoiler: raped Petyr [[DudeShesLikeInAComa whilst he was drugged, delirious and insensible]] twice in the backstory, with him possibly believing she was her sister.]] Petyr, who UsedToBeASweetKid, was left unhinged and bitter after being rejected by Catelyn, so he decided to ''deep breath'' [[spoiler:manipulate Lysa into killing her husband and accusing House Lannister of the murder, all in order to draw Catelyn's own husband, Ned, to the DecadentCourt of Westeros, driving a wedge of tension between Houses Stark and Lannister. The end result: Ned was executed for treason, fanning the flames of aforementioned tension, which grew into a spectacularly bloody, continent-wide civil war, leaving thousands dead, the land ravaged and the economy hanging on by a thread just before the start of a winter that could last for generations!]] All of this, just because Petyr DidNotGetTheGirl! The guy takes {{Yandere}} to a [[UpToEleven whole new level of insanity.]]

** Season 7 gives us Negan, Dwight and Sherry. Dwight and Sherry were married, but after their attempt to flee went wrong, Sherry agreed to become Negan's wife in order to save Dwight's life. Unfortunately Negan is an AxCrazy PsychopathicManchild, Sherry is still in love with Dwight, and [[PunchClockVillain Dwight]] does whatever Negan tells him to.

* Happens in ''VideoGame/{{Yanderella}}'' with both true ends. Yatarou is friends with a GirlyGirl and a {{Tsundere}} {{Tomboy}}, both who are [[MadLove madly in love with him]]. Either way you choose, you'll make one angry and awaken the beast within her.

* ''Manga/AkuNoHana'': Eventually gets to this point with Saeki and Nakamura being the yanderes for Kasuga.

A LoveTriangle where at least two of the members are [[{{Yandere}} mutually crazy in love with the hypotenuse]]. Leads to a massive amount of drama and generally lots of violence and attempts to MurderTheHypotenuse, only now it's working both ways, and if the third member of the trio is ''not'' mentally unstable and violent, expect them to suffer quite a bit. Sometimes though, the third member of the trio can be as crazy, if not more so, than the aforementioned crazies. And if they aren't, they may be soon enough thanks to the other two.

* In ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' there's Lysa towards Petyr, and Petyr towards Lysa's older sister Cat.

** Played even more strangely before then, where Misa also seeks the psychotic [[LightIsNotGood Light]]'s affections, and instead finds herself the object of [[AmbiguousDisorder L]]'s attraction - that is, when he's not [[ExaltedTorturer torturing her for information]] (or perhaps especially then?).

* On ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark,'' [[TheDevilIsALoser Satan]] is in a relationship with nice-but-boring [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide Chris]] when his ex-lover, UsefulNotes/SaddamHussein, returns to Hell. Saddam kills Chris to get Satan back; since he's dead again, Chris just reappears in Hell the next day. Saddam refuses to make peace with Chris and kills him again, only for Chris to start fighting back, and the LoveTriangle quickly descends into the two of them murdering each other each day as Satan equivocates about who he wants to be with.

* In ''Literature/FireAndBlood'', Rhaenyra Targaryen was notified that her husband (and uncle) Daemon was sleeping with Nettles, one of the dragonseeds (bastards with Valyrian blood who managed to tame a dragon). Rhaenyra was already paranoid about the dragonseeds since two of them had already betrayed her. This pushed her over the edge and she demanded that Lord Manfryd Mooton, Nettles' and Daemons' host at the time, execute Nettles and deliver her head to Rhaenyra. Fortunately for Nettles, Lord Mooton ignored the order, not wanting to violate Guest Right. His maester then warned Daemon and Nettles of Rhaenyra's order -- Nettles would then flee with her dragon, abandoning the Dance of Dragons entirely, while Daemon would go on to die fighting Aemond Tagaryen. Rhaenyra's jealousy and paranoia ultimately cost her two dragonriders along with their dragons and her most capable commander, paving the way for her eventual downfall. Even worse, it's not confirmed whether or not Daemon and Nettles were even having an affair in the first place -- other records from that time strongly imply that Daemon saw Nettles as a surrogate daughter.
