Screw Yourself / Anime & Manga

Go To

  • Ranma ½: Both the manga and anime explored this, though in different manners:
    • The anime filler story, which came first, created a female-only (and demonic) copy of Ranma that tried to seduce him to steal his life force, causing him to stumble around zombie-like during the day.
    • The manga version centered on a haunted mirror, which created identical copies of whoever looked into it. Since the mirror had trapped the spirit of a girl who had longed to have a boyfriend, any resulting copies would then chase anyone of the opposite sex, and try to date them. When a mirror-copy of girl-Ranma was made, she was immediately smitten with boy-Ranma, and she tried to bed him on her very first night of existence. At the end of the story, a male clone was created accidentally, and both copies happily hooked up (since it would take another week for the seal on the mirror to be fixed, whatever they did afterwards belongs in the realm of imagination (and Doujinshi).
  • Susumu and Nanako from Homunculus, who have sex with each other after Nanako's trepanation. They each hallucinate their partner as themselves, just with the body of the other gender (but the heads stay the same). This trope is then exploited for creeps over the next few pages in soft-core pornographic detail.
  • Yes! Pretty Cure 5:
    • When each Pretty Cure besides Dream is forced to face an Enemy Within while wearing the Mask of Despair. Cure Lemonade faces a creepily affectionate version of her civilian self.
    • Also, a sticker set for the second season exists pairing each girl up with her implied or stated love interest: Dream with Coco and Komachi with Nuts, both of which became canon in season one; Karen with Milk, which can't be outright stated but is pretty darn close; Urara and Rin with Syrup, both of which are currently implied (but Urara seems to be winning, despite Toei earlier saying otherwise... Rin has bad luck with boys, doesn't she?), and Kurumi with... Milk again. Herself. Yeah.
  • Happens in the second episode of Kaiba; the woman who helped the title character sneak onboard a spaceship copies her own memories into his body and the two of them have a little fun together... which is quite disturbing given the series' surreal and childlike artstyle. Then the copy kills the original for fear of being deleted.
  • Technically, the implied attraction between Madlax and her progenitor/creator/original self Margaret would be this, seeing how she is her Enemy Without of sorts.
  • In Hentai manga Alice in Sexland, an artisan created a cupboard that can spawn a perfect Hermaphrodite (and perfectly horny) clone of its female user.
  • Reborn! (2004):
    • The relationship between Mukuro and Chrome tends to feel like this. Their names are actually anagrams of each other (in Japanese "chrome" is pronounced "kuromu"),note  and they look incredibly similar (other than the gender difference), coupled with the fact that they share a body...
    • Most people think Tsuna and Kyoko are the closest thing to this without really being related.
  • Closely related: Jail Scaglietti of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS impregnated a perfect clone of himself into Uno, who was revealed in the third Sound Stage to be his Opposite-Sex Clone. Of course, he likely did it in a scientific way, but the lack of information on how he specifically did it inspired some theories that are more base. Of course, he did this with all the rest of his cyborg "daughters" too. It's just that Uno is the only one that's an Opposite-Sex Clone.
  • Patalliro of Boku Patalliro! has molested and been molested by nearly identical Patalliros of the distant past and future. Presumably they are both ancestors and descendants of the main Patalliro. Let that sink in.
  • In Beat Angel Escalayer, Sayuka gets raped by FM77, who is based off her, though may not actually be a clone. Oddly enough, after a Defeat Means Friendship, she develops the "cute little sister" personality.
  • Sailor Moon:
    • Okay, it never got to "screwing", but in the manga Sailor Cosmos kissed Sailor Moon. Sailor Cosmos is (apparently) Sailor Moon from a Bad Future. Discuss.
    • Neo Queen Serenity was also pretty excited to see her past self...
  • In Kaguya Hime, a few characters express interest in the bodies of their clones, but that's (probably) usually because they need their organs. Julian, though, is definitely very interested in his clone Miller; among other things, he mentions having seen an almost-unnoticeable scar on Miller's body during a sex scene in one of the films Miller played in, and later does something that was either nuzzling his face very tenderly, or kissing him (darn you, Discretion Shot). Not to mention the reason he wanted to find Miller in the first place.
  • The last (non-canon) episode of Kämpfer ends with the gender-swapping protagonist married to him/herself. And he/she/they had a child.
  • The yuri one-shot, Endless Narcissus, is about a girl who loves herself so much she goes and gets a clone of herself (Her clone turns out to be just as Yandere as she is, and murders her out of jealousy, just as she had done to someone else before).
  • The Inspectors anime of Super Robot Wars: Original Generation has Alfimi kissing Excellen while her clothes start disintegrating.SPOILER
  • The Bait-and-Switch Credits of Puella Magi Madoka Magica feature a Transformation Sequence in which a pair of naked Madokas get extremely cuddly with each other. This might be the only time you'll see a Magical Girl get dressed via symmetrical docking.
  • Bondage Fairies: Fairies are apparently so narcissistic, they will do their own reflections... which turns out to be a bad thing, since they'll often waste away in the process.
  • Invoked in Macross Frontier The False Songstress and Wings of Goodbye where part of Sheryl's on stage performances involve her being seduced by herself (or rather a holographic projection of herself, often times in male clothing).
  • The opening of Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine ends with two Fujikos making out.
  • In the final volume of Devilman Lady [[spoiler: it is revealed that Lucifer reincarnated himself into this world as a sister and brother (who changed his gender to hide himself), then had sex with him/her/themselves, became pregnant, gave birth (within hours of the act), then fused back into one hermaphrodite self—all of this to give birth to a man who was his beloved in previous life... Yup.
  • In Nyaruko: Crawling with Love!, protagonists Mahiro and Nyarko undergo a "Freaky Friday" Flip... which affects Nyarko's attempts to seduce Mahiro not a single iota. She doesn't seem to understand why he gets so freaked out when she barges into the bathroom, giving him an eyeful of his own naked body and suggesting they "get to know each others' bodies".
  • The second series of Magic Knight Rayearth has a dark variation of this, combined with Enemy Without. Anime-only villainess Nova is violently obsessed with Hikaru, often declaring her love for Hikaru and threatening to murder her and anyone she loves in the same breath. One of the openings even had Hikaru kissing a reflection of Nova. Late in the series, it was revealed that Nova is actually the manifestation of Hikaru's self-hatred and dark feelings after killing Princess Emeraude. The last episode has Hikaru accepting that Nova is a part of herself and returning to her body.
  • In the last episode of Black★Rock Shooter, Strength reveals that the Otherselves fight because they love their human counterparts. She caresses Yuu's face and says she loves her.
  • In Shamanic Princess, when young Tiara is trying to tame her bond creature-to-be Graham, her latent power manifests as a red-skinned (and naked) version of her powered-up form as an adult. It proceeds to grab her and give her a deep kiss.
  • In Tokyo Ghoul, Kaneki has repeatedly hallucinated conversations with alternate versions of himself that fuel what fans have dubbed "Kanekicest". The first time, his alternate self borrows the form of his former girlfriend, but reminds him that she's actually him. He ends up pinning her to the ground and straddling her suggestively before eating her while she praises him. Later encounters with himself involve considerable cuddling, hand-holding, Headbutts of Love, and borderline molestation. Suffice to say, Kaneki needs a hug and the only person to give it to him is himself.
  • Heavily implied in the OVA of Hyperdimension Neptunia the Animation between Vert and her Alternate Self.
  • In Otome no Teikoku Mahiro and Mahiru are so alike one would be forgiven for thinking them twins, but in reality they are unrelated and they are obsessed with each other.
  • In Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA, Chloe/Kuro tries to force an intimate relationship with Illya, who she is a copy of, on at least one occasion. They're interrupted before she can get very far.
  • in Konohana Kitan, the inn's staff encounter two Kiris.When Ren wonders aloud how they're going to figure out which is which, one Kiri says "we could get naked and compare. The thought of strip searching my own body sounds mildly titillating." satsuke declares that one the real Kiri on the grounds that she's "an egotistical pervert," suggesting that yes, she would screw herself if given the chance.
