Declaration of Protection	comment	A person (usually The Hero) has their motivation built around protecting another person. Most of the time, it's their Love Interest, but it could also be their sibling/s, or friends, or child(ren), or parents/parental figure. In Anime, the sentence "Zettai ni mamoru!" is likely to be used — if not spoken aloud, then thought. Depending on context, this can mean anything from a literal "I'll protect you from danger" to a more comradely "I'll watch your back" to akin to a Love Confession, i.e. "I'll always be there for you." Because of this, expect the recipient to respond with a Luminescent Blush regardless of what she says. Almost every time, some sort of complication or detail will be brought up in this situation. The protected person is capable of looking after themself. The protector has a hard enough time keeping up with them, much less being of any use, and will often chastise themself for failing to live up to their perceived duty as protector. Inevitably, however, the protected will get into trouble, at which point the hero's Heroic Resolve will manifest and they'll become suddenly competent as they leap to save them. The protector fails to protect the protectee, resulting in the latter's death. This will be their Greatest Failure. In this case, the relationship is more likely to be part of the backstory. It might have been the former protector's Start of Darkness, as they went over to The Dark Side while seeking revenge, or went mad while seeking to bring the protected back. Or maybe the protector just cracked and turned into a Death Seeker. If the protected person survived despite their failure, the effects will be less severe, but all of the above can still occur — there's just a better chance of redemption later on. If the protector has to protect multiple people and fails at doing so, then they're effectively a Doom Magnet and tend to suffer Survivor Guilt. The protected person is normal, and the protector is not... and the main reason the protected is even in danger is that someone is hunting the protector. Thus, the protector feels compelled to part with the protected, or run away from any other responsibilities to keep them safe. It almost never works. Note that most of the examples in It's Not You, It's My Enemies do not apply here — for it to qualify, protecting that person has to be the character's main driving motivation — so, for example, Spider-Man wouldn't qualify, since he knows he has a greater responsibility to protect the entire city, and the world. (Let's not even mention One More Day...) The protector protects their person, but at the cost of their own life, or nearly so. If the protector dies, it could be a Start of Darkness for the protected, as guilt and anger push them towards extreme action. If the protector survives, it's more likely to work as a Berserk Button, but it might also compel the protected to try and push them away so they won't get hurt again. The protected person turns out to be The Mole or just plain bad news. The protector likely won't see this, even if others try to tell them — and it's fairly likely that they won't realize it 'till the protected person finally stabs him in the back. It can turn out in a lot of different ways, but it's usually quite tragic. If the protector kills their (former) protected in response, it'll probably turn out that the traitor was acting under duress, and the protector will be swallowed by grief and regret. If the protector dies by the traitor's hand, they'll probably realize that they really did love them, and be swallowed by grief and regret. But if the protector continued to insist on protecting the protected, even after they've shown what's Beneath the Mask, they might realize that they really do love them before they kill them and be redeemed by love. "Protecting" turns out to be more complicated and morally ambiguous than it sounds. Maybe the protected person has some sort of weird power that makes a lot of people fear them, or maybe the very layout of the world makes it impossible for them to live in peace. The hero may be forced to fight and kill more-or-less innocent people who attack the protected person out of fear, or orchestrate rebellions and war in order to change the world for their love's benefit — either way, there's bound to be a lot of victims, and the "hero" will start to look less and less heroic. In the past, the protected person did something for the protector. Either saved their life, pulled them out of non-lethal trouble, gave them something they needed, befriended them when nobody else was willing to, etc. So the protector cherishes said moment in which the protected was there for them, feels indebted to them and decides to protect them as a way to pay them back for their help. Debts must be paid, after all... even if it involves going to Hell and back to not owe that person anything. Naturally, not all cases will fit neatly into one of these categories, and of course, there are cases where there isn't really any major complications just someone protecting another person from the Monster of the Week, for as long as it takes. Sometimes the declaration is mutual, and you get a Battle Couple. A Sub-Trope of Protectorate and The Champion. Bodyguard Crush is when the protection comes before the emotions. The Dulcinea Effect is when this absolute dedication pops up all of 10 seconds after he first sees her. Mama Bear and Papa Wolf are when it's a parent protecting their child. This trope is part of the job description for Lady and Knight. In ancient times, becoming someone's guest automatically put you under their protection, leading to a lot of this. If the protector is smarter, more grounded in reality, or more competent than the protectee, or perceived to be, they're a Cloudcuckoolander's Minder. Compare If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her....

Declaration of Protection / int_10321784	comment	In Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, about 400 years before the start of the game, the vampire Valvatorez makes a promise to a young woman to abstain from drinking blood until he can make her experience fear. Since a war is raging and the woman is a front-line nurse, he also declares to protect her until he can make good on his first promise. He is careless, however, and she is killed three days later. He hasn't drunk blood, nor broken another promise ever since.

Declaration of Protection / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time has Simon Petrikov, AKA The Ice King protecting a very young Marceline either during or immediately after the Mushroom War. It seems to be that he simply chose to look after her because she was scared and alone. Could arguably fall under the "complicated" category, but that's less to do with her being dangerous and more because using his powers drives him incrementally more insane. He needs to stay sane for her sake; if she weren't around, he probably would have quickly given into the madness just from using his powers to protect himself.

If a female Grey Warden has a romance with Alistair, he will refuse to allow her to sacrifice herself to kill the Archdemon, taking the choice out of her hands and doing it himself unless she takes the precaution of leaving him behind at the gates before heading to the last battle. In the Dragon Age II DLC Mark of the Assassin, the Guest-Star Party Member Tallis can try to encourage Hawke to consider converting to the Qun, saying that it would give Hawke purpose. Hawke, who (depending on when the DLC is completed) is or will become the formal Champion of their city, gives a response that is literally this trope. Dragon Age: Inquisition: When the Iron Bull is recruited, he informs the perfectly badass Inquisitor that he will consider it his duty to serve as their front-line bodyguard. Whether this ultimately becomes romantic or not depends on whether they pursue him as their love interest, but it's an actual gameplay mechanic — if he's in the active party, he invariably runs in to attack anything which makes the Inquisitor its target. Dorian will make one of these if the quest "In Hushed Whispers" is completed. In the Bad Future, when the Herald of Andraste expresses their anxiousness over what will become of them, Dorian offers some gentle reassurance.

Declaration of Protection / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach: Kanae Katagiri vowed to protect the more powerful Ryuuken no matter what the cost, and that no matter what happened she would never, ever leave his side. She is later murdered by The Emperor; Souken implies Ryuuken's made a similar declaration to ensure his and Kanae's badass son, Uryuu, does not share his mother's fate. In the wild, Harribel lived as close as she could to a life of non-violence and starvation to defy the Social Darwinist laws of Hueco Mundo. Since then, she has been motivated to fight by a desire to keep her few friends from dying... and these friends are her Amazon Brigade. In the "Princess and Dragon" chapters, Orihime reveals that Tatsuki had always protected her from the bullies that had prevented her from keeping her unusually-coloured hair at the length her beloved older brother preferred. When Tatsuki is defeated and almost killed by a Hollow, Orihime steps in to protect Tatsuki, motivated by the gratitude and desire to repay the debt. Her resolve awakens her Barrier Warrior powers, which were already there but needed a bit more of a push to fully come to the surface. Rukia was the one who unlocked Ichigo's powers by giving him hers, giving him the chance to protect others from supernatural threats. By doing so, she broke a cardinal law of Soul Society and was taken away to be executed; Ichigo's motivation to go into Soul Society with his friends to retrieve and save her comes from both Orihime coming up with the idea and his own desire to repay Rukia for what he did for him. Toushirou and Momo were raised together and she was the only child in the neighbourhood not afraid of Toushirou's power. When they both became Shinigami, he swore to protect her, vowing to Gin he'd kill him if Gin made her bleed even a little. His hatred for Aizen stems from Aizen's betrayal breaking and almost killing Momo. During the Fake Karakura Town, Momo regains her badass status until Aizen manipulates Toushirou into accidentally stabbing her, and then stabs him. They both eventually recover and are implied to still be very close at the end of the series. When Espada attack Karakura Town, Ichigo is devastated by his inability to prevent Orihime from getting seriously injured. Rukia then makes Ichigo go meet up with Orihime, to apologise for his failure and promise to not fail next time. The following arc has Orihime forced to go with the Espadas and Ichigo going to rescue her with Rukia, Chad, Renji, and Ishida, focusing on getting Orihime back no matter what — even when such a desire triggers situations like Ichigo bringing himself Back from the Dead upon hearing her cry out for him and brutalising both foes (Ulquiorra, alias the one who killed him and mentally tortured Orihime) and friends (Ishida, who committed the well-intentioned but huge mistake of trying to calm him down from such a rage):

Declaration of Protection / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem: Regarding the games in general, the people that play them invoke this trope by not wanting any of their units to fall in battle, as until the remakes of the Archanea games for the DS their deaths were always permanent. If a single unit dies, chances are that a player will restart the entire battle. Heck, even if permadeath is disabled, some players may be tempted to restart the battle anyway! In Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade for the GBA: Dorcas's wife Natalie is Delicate and Sickly. He wants her to get better, and so he joins a bandit group. Once Lyn knocks sense into him (and Natalie does too, if the player makes them talk), Dorcas decides to keep fighting for her until he gathers enough gold to buy the medicine. It's just as simple as that, for him. Fire Emblem Fates: If he marries Azura on the Golden Path, then the Male Avatar swears to protect her forever. He doesn't care who or what threatens her; he'll always stay with her and keep her safe, and unlike the other two paths, he succeeds. Also in Fates' Golden Path, if Azama and Effie reach a Relationship Upgrade, his Love Confession is basically made of this trope: Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones: The Eirika-Innes supports start out with this when Innes declares he's going to guard Eirika to pay her back for rescuing him before. Their next support opens with him complaining that she keeps on going ahead of him to attack enemies... because he's an archer, and archers are pretty much obligated to stay in the back because they can't attack adjacent units, and she, as a swordswoman, obviously can, and he's not happy about the visual. Amelia and Franz's A-Support ends up in a mutual one, with Amelia vowing to be his shield to protect him, while Franz's promises to be her sword to fight for her, assuring her that she won't be alone anymore. Fire Emblem: Three Houses: After Byleth's father, Jeralt, dies, Jeralt's second in command, Alois, swears that he'll protect Byleth.

Declaration of Protection / int_2442edf2	comment	Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn: Simon has a very difficult time spitting out his affection for Rebellious Princess Miriamele, despite the fact that he has a crush on her. Part of it is that he feels that she's so far above him socially that his desires will remain unrequited, although he fantasizes about rising to her station or her falling to his. Of course, they keep getting thrown together in perilous circumstances, and after he's knighted, he resolves to become her champion and protector as a way of dealing with the situation. In the end, he discovers that it wasn't their stations keeping them apart at all, but Miriamele's self-doubts and fears of being forced to assume the throne and make a political marriage. Of course he turns out to be the rightful king anyway, so he solves the problem of her entering into a loveless marriage by marrying her.

Another interesting point is that if we reverse the roles, then Mina herself clearly fits the last category. Akira is her anchor in the merciless world around her, and their childhood promise is the main thing that holds her still on the Slippery Slope.

Declaration of Protection / int_38974f2	comment	The King of Fighters: Kyo Kusanagi. He is already willing to protect his Girl Next Door girlfriend Yuki to start with, but once he's told that she is a Barrier Maiden and that she was to be used in a Human Sacrifice, his desire to protect her goes up to eleven. Later, the spirit of his rival's ancestor asks him to protect her, among several other things. One of Kyo Kusanagi's main motivations in the Tales of Ash saga is to make Ash Crimson pay for attacking Chizuru Kagura, his friend and fellow member of the Sacred Treasures Team, and stealing her Magic Mirror. It's really not helped by how Kyo couldn't do anything to stop him. It's kind of a plot point in the KOF: KYO continuity. Ever since he was a kid, Kyo deeply wanted to protect his loved ones (in fact, he promises his mother Shizuka that he will do so when he's just eight years old), and that turned out to be one of the reasons why he was so powerful... but after gradually forgetting it in the middle of his turbulent life, he got Brought Down to Normal and then susceptible to being Brainwashed and Crazy by Orochi. Remembering how he began to fight as well as this purpose is what lets Kyo recover his lost powers and shake off Orochi's influence: this is sealed after his Warrior Therapist dad Saisyu undoes a staged Hostage Situation that he built to help Kyo and releases Yuki from an Unwilling Suspension. As Kyo rushes to catch her, his inner thoughts pretty much spell this trope. Also invoked by Adelheid "Adel" Berstein. He has sworn to himself to be the protector of his younger sister Rose, who also is his only living relative after their dad Rugal's death, and even when he seems to be an Aloof Big Brother, he will NOT stop when it comes to shielding her from any harm. The main reason why he became Heidern's source of information in The King of Fighters XIII was his worry about how oddly Rose was acting around him — and with good reason, since she was Brainwashed by Those of the Past. When she's released from their mind control and collapses, Adel immediately rushes towards her to catch her in his arms.

Whether this ultimately becomes romantic or not depends on whether they pursue him as their love interest, but it's an actual gameplay mechanic — if he's in the active party, he invariably runs in to attack anything which makes the Inquisitor its target. Dorian will make one of these if the quest "In Hushed Whispers" is completed. In the Bad Future, when the Herald of Andraste expresses their anxiousness over what will become of them, Dorian offers some gentle reassurance.

Glitch comes with her because it's preferable to be confused and with someone than confused and alone. But it turns out that he was her mother's trusted and devoted adviser. Remembering who he was and learning who she is just makes him more determined to help. Cain's a mess. He agrees to escort DG and Glitch to Central (Emerald) City because he does owe them that much for freeing him, but the Mystic Man, his former boss, orders Cain to protect DG at any cost — and Cain's too damn honorable to disobey a direct order, especially as it turns out to also be the Mystic Man's Last Request.

She is fully aware of this but nonetheless DEPENDS on him — because he's the only one who still tries to protect her, while everyone else sees her as The Ace thus more than able to protect herself. But because Badass Normal Hitoyoshi is always by her side and willing to take the lumps that come with it, she can focus entirely on helping others — which is the only thing that gives her a sense of accomplishment.

When Tamryn decides to return to the land of humans at the game's start, the dragon Atrushan rips off one of his horns to give to her, telling her to use it as a flute and sound it if she's in danger. Him hearing the sound of it years later causes him to come to human world to find Tamryn, starting the plot.

Declaration of Protection / int_531b8f34	comment	Scrapped Princess: The Sword and Sorcerer team Shannon and Raquel are solely motivated by their oath to protect the eponymous princess, Pacifica. Shannon is the one that most closely matches the trope, being a guy and all — since they were raised as siblings, his affection for her is more big-brotherly than romantic, but they are Not Blood Siblings, so it gets... ambiguous at times. As for complications, well, according to a supposedly-infallible Divine Prophecy, Pacifica is 'the poison that will kill the world' — specifically, she will destroy the world when she turns 16. As a result, virtually everyone wants to kill her, either out of fear, religious fervor, or greed for the huge bounty the kingdom has placed on her head. Shannon is stuck trying to protect her from all that, preferably without killing anyone because he knows that Pacifica would blame herself for any lives lost...

While Zen is an accomplished swordsman in his own right by the time of the series he's not quite up to Mitsuhide's level. Mitsuhide's initial reaction to being assigned to the prince was some trepidation as he had hoped to serve under Zen's older brother it was mostly out of surprise and he has never considered turning down the position. He is completely loyal to the prince to the point that it sometimes concerns Zen.

The Hero has somehow wound up leading La RÃ©sistance against The Empire, and his adopted sister has, naturally, wound up getting dragged along for the ride. When she finally admits that she'd prefer to live quietly together, you have the option of agreeing with her, running away from your army and responsibilities along with her, thus demonstrating an alternate solution to the problem. The result is somewhere between a Non-Standard Game Over and a... well, Not All That Bad Ending. You actually DO get away, and live quietly together in a cabin in the woods somewhere far from all the war and strife... but of course, La RÃ©sistance fell apart, The Empire triumphed, and all your other friends probably died. Further observed later in the story of the game. She ends up protecting Riou from himself by faking her own death. Her reasoning being that when she dove forward to start deflecting arrows fired by Gorudo's archers, Riou leapt up beside her without a second thought for his own safety. Shu agrees to go along with her duplicity because they both realize that without Riou, the entire war effort would fall apart. In removing herself from the picture, Nanami ensures that Riou won't do something like that again.

Trish is alternately frustrated and touched by this. Daredevil (2015): Throughout the show, while Matt rarely admits it, he is very protective of Karen Page's safety. When putting Karen up at his apartment after she escapes Wilson Fisk's attempt to have her killed in jail, Matt reassures her â€œI will keep you safe, Karen," a promise he keeps when he rescues her from the assassin Fisk has sent to her apartment to attack her when she attempts to retrieve the Union Allied pension file. Which gets called back in the Season 1 finale when Matt assures Karen, â€œI told you I would keep you safe, Karen. When he [Fisk] came after you over Union Allied. That hasn't changed.â€� Throughout Season 2, we see that Matt continues to be very protective of Karen. His first engagement with Frank Castle sees him taking the guy on when he's shooting at Grotto and Karen with a sniper rifle. A few episodes later, when Karen admits to breaking into Frank's house, Matt and Foggy both get mad at her, but Matt admits he's mostly just scared that she could have gotten hurt. He tackles her to the ground and shields her from the bullets when Reyes is gunned down in front of them. In the Season 2 finale, when the Hand kidnaps her and a bunch of other people Matt has saved as bait, he's so worried about Karen that he can't focus on tracking the hostages that Elektra has to calm him down, and when he does rescue the hostages, he can't resist stopping to make sure Karen is okay before she goes.

But then in Episode 11 of Season 2, it goes into their backstory, and her reasons are explained as this: Shouko was and still is a Lonely Rich Kid, with Yuuji as her Only Friend. At some point, Yuuji pulled a Big Damn Heroes moment to save Shouko from three boys who tried to bully her after she tried to stop them from writing some vicious lies on his PE clothing; he tried to come up with an excuse not to help but in the end, saves her anyway. Although he tries to pass it off as nothing, Shouko is really touched by that action, and she vows to his mother to marry him someday. His mom happily agrees to support her efforts as well... which then sort of helps explain why she tasers him, ties him up, pokes his eyes out when he's looking at other women, and drags him to the movies in chains.

In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mipha makes this promise to the protagonist, Link, which becomes a bit tricky when she dies in the line of duty. She manages to keep the promise, however, by granting him her magical healing ability after her soul is freed from captivity. In the Champion's Ballad, there is a non-verbal one where Mipha asks Sidon to protect their home from harm if anything were to happen to her. Sidon wordlessly nods in agreement and strikes his familiar "I believe in you" pose.

He died, and she went nuts, temporarily going into full Blood Knight mode, and attempting to basically take on the entire army of Wulfenbach singlehandedly with a little help from her Mecha-Mooks. She got over it, with a bit of chemical assistance, but now seem hell-bent on making sure nobody else dies for her. (Cue Gil and Tarvek winding up in one of the above-mentioned "She's an Action Girl" situations, as she works harder to protect them than the other way around.) Agatha, Gil, and Tarvek have all declared their intentions to protect one another (or rather, Gil and Tarvek want to protect Agatha, and she wants to protect them). Considering they're all Mad Scientists and the rulers of most of a continent, none of it is really necessary. Agatha orders both Gil and Tarvek to leave Castle Heterodyne at various points within the Castle arc, even though they're both completely capable of looking after themselves. Tarvek's stated aim of protecting Agatha from Gil's advances, after Gil's friends decide to announce to the whole town that he's going to marry her, backfires more than a little.

Seven years before the game itself took place, a young man stepped in the murder scene of his mentor and saw said mentor's even younger daughter all covered in blood. Realising that the little girl would be accused and trialed for matricide, the man took a desperate bid and framed himself for the crime to protect her, despite knowing that he'd be screwed. Seven years later, he's on death row and the now grown-up girl is desperately trying to get the sentence overturned... The man's name? Simon Blackquill, one of the game's prosecutors. The girl's? Athena Cykes, Phoenix's assistant. Whether he fatally fulfils the promise or not depends on the player. The trope in itself gets lampshaded explicitly in the good ending, when Simon is released and Athena tearfully meets up with him.

She fights solely to protect the Rose Bride, Anthy Himemiya... but at the end, it turns out Anthy was in on the whole thing, and was in fact following Akio's will, from being involved in his manipulations behind the scenes to doing everything he told her to . . . EVERYTHING. It's really, REALLY not helped by Utena realising that she had been taking the persona of a prince less to help Anthy and much more to feed her own ego, not taking Anthy's thoughts and beliefs in consideration. After this, Utena is severely disillusioned, becoming a Knight in Sour Armor, but comes to forgive Anthy after realizing just how much torment she's been in for hundreds and thousands of years, and resolves to truly save her from more suffering and give her a second chance in life.

Declaration of Protection / int_998cbda3	comment	Daredevil (2015): Throughout the show, while Matt rarely admits it, he is very protective of Karen Page's safety. When putting Karen up at his apartment after she escapes Wilson Fisk's attempt to have her killed in jail, Matt reassures her â€œI will keep you safe, Karen," a promise he keeps when he rescues her from the assassin Fisk has sent to her apartment to attack her when she attempts to retrieve the Union Allied pension file. Which gets called back in the Season 1 finale when Matt assures Karen, â€œI told you I would keep you safe, Karen. When he [Fisk] came after you over Union Allied. That hasn't changed.â€� Throughout Season 2, we see that Matt continues to be very protective of Karen. His first engagement with Frank Castle sees him taking the guy on when he's shooting at Grotto and Karen with a sniper rifle. A few episodes later, when Karen admits to breaking into Frank's house, Matt and Foggy both get mad at her, but Matt admits he's mostly just scared that she could have gotten hurt. He tackles her to the ground and shields her from the bullets when Reyes is gunned down in front of them. In the Season 2 finale, when the Hand kidnaps her and a bunch of other people Matt has saved as bait, he's so worried about Karen that he can't focus on tracking the hostages that Elektra has to calm him down, and when he does rescue the hostages, he can't resist stopping to make sure Karen is okay before she goes.

When he talks to the girl after realising that the Action Girl Sato was not her, he soon promises to protect her with his own life no matter what. When she, the teacher Sumiko Kobayashi, is targeted by a killer who wants to silence her, Shiratori, Sato, Conan, Ai, and the Detective Kids protect her and catch the culprit, and Shiratori gives her a proper Love Confession. the Anti-Villain Akemi Miyano is implied to have asked her boyfriend Shuichi Akai to promise that he would protect her teenage sister Shiho — few hours before her own death. The twist is that he's fulfilling the trope, and even made an explicit declaration of protection to Shiho in which he referred to her as a princess and called himself her knight... but both of them are living under secret identities: he names himself Subaru Okiya, and she not only has been shrunk to a little girl's body but calls herself Ai Haibara.

(In truth, they're pretty evenly matched, but she's too proud to admit it and constantly belittles his lack of skill — which he takes to heart, causing him to often convince himself that he was no help at all, even though his raw power was as important in defeating the Monster of the Week as her technique.)

Declaration of Protection / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: Before the events of the story, Fish-Man Island was constantly preyed on, raided, and enslaved by pirates all over the world. All of that stopped the moment Whitebeard came calling and declared the island as his territory without actually exploiting it. Luffy later takes up the role, declaring the country under his protection to spare them the wrath of Big Mom. Ace swore to protect his younger brother Luffy, both out of love for him and as a promise to their other "brother" Sabo, who he thought was dead. Indeed, Ace spent most of his childhood as Luffy's protector, and ultimately gave his life to protect him during the Paramount War (which in itself was a tragedy, as Luffy spent most of the war trying to save Ace from execution). Years later, Sabo, the third brother, reveals that he is alive to Luffy. Later on, as he battles Admiral Fujitora, he told his opponent that if Luffy were to ask for his aid, no matter where he was in the world, he would drop everything and be at his side in an instant. There is a quick flash to his reaction to Ace's death, and the look of pain on his face makes his reasons clear: he lost Ace, and he'll never know whether or not his brother could have been saved if he had acted. He won't take that risk and lose Luffy as well. Ace requested Jimbei to protect Luffy in his place if he was unable to, something Jimbei takes very seriously. During the Marineford arc, Jimbei stands up to Akainu, all for Luffy's sake, and even tanks a lethal blow to protect the boy. Much later in the story, the Fishman Island situation is repeated with Wano Country. Luffy hands its shogun Momonosuke a flag of his crew's Jolly Roger, and tells him to hang it high, to let everyone know that messing with Wano is like messing with the Straw Hats.

Declaration of Protection / int_a4a6b86a	comment	Code Geass: Suzaku Kururugi and Euphemia li Britannia. Initially a straight and uncomplicated "knight and princess" relationship, Euphemia's death at the hands of Zero pushes Suzaku off of his white horse, driving him into much more questionable actions, such as selling out Zero — who turns out to be his oldest friend, main character Lelouch vi Britannia — to his worst enemy, or releasing a powerful nuke in battle... and, in the end, he winds up supporting one of the bloodiest tyrannies in history. Led by, you know, Lelouch. Oh, and did we mention that Suzaku eventually kills Lelouch on the latter's orders as part of a Thanatos Gambit? Lelouch has this strange habit of personally jumping into Knightmare combat whenever Kallen (who is the best soldier in his army) is in trouble, even if it means putting himself in danger. He claims it's just because she's too valuable a resource to lose, but the essence is this trope. A teenaged Li Xingke vows to protect Empress Tianzi after she saves him from execution. Years later, he keeps his promise. Spectacularly. Lelouch's desire to give his younger sister, Nunnally vi Britannia, a 'world of peace' leads him further and further down the path of darkness. When she finally finds out what he's been doing in the name of helping her, she's understandably horrified and becomes easy prey for Schneizel's manipulations.

At the end of the journey, while the princess manages to be okay, it's Katsa who ends up getting sick, for the first time in her life. She does get better, though.

His girlfriend Rachel got amnesia in an accident for which he was blamed, and while he was in self-imposed exile, the Empire rolled in and killed her. So when he meets the amnesiac Terra, he vows not to leave her side until her memory returns. When he encounters the condemned Imperial Celes later, he makes a similar declaration. Squall of Final Fantasy VIII, who provides the page quote, vows to protect Rinoa, the girl who finally brought him out of his sarcastic, just-dont-care shell, and taught him what love was. The condition of "Even if you become the world's enemy..." is there because the worst scenario involves Rinoa turning into a full-blown Sorceress and ending up the target of the world's forces and possibly even their SeeD friends. Squall, Rinoa, and company succeed by preventing such a scenario from fully realizing. Squall is telling her that even if the worst happened and she became the ultimate evil, he'd still protect her from everyone. Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning and Snow vow to protect Serah. Why? Because Serah is Lightning's sister and Snow's fiancee. It doesn't matter that she's been branded a l'Cie and enemy of the world Cocoon — once Lightning realizes that it's not a weird lie to get around her disapproval of Snow, she jumps on the Purge train to get her back. Even after Serah appears to die by crystallization, Snow refuses to leave her statue and takes up her last wish to protect Cocoon. During Chapter 7, Lightning and Hope promise to protect each other after he decides to abandon Operation Nora. It lasts throughout the whole trilogy and gets a Call-Back in the third game. Zig-zagged in Dissidia Final Fantasy at first Cosmos's warriors (especially the Warrior of Light) make it their mission to protect her from Chaos and his henchmen. In the end she willingly lets herself die in an effort to save them from the cycle of death and rebirth they've been caught in. This carries into the Crisis Crossover Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia: Snow decides that everyone in the group (of more than 50 warriors) is a part of his family and that anyone they care about are part of his family too. That means he'll protect every single one of them, no matter what. Also from Opera Omnia is Gabranth. When a conversation with Locke reveals that Locke has chosen to abandon Celes (along with his other friends) to pursue an unnamed treasure, the conclusion of Gabranth's "What the Hell, Hero?" Speech amounts to "I am going to go take your place as a Final Fantasy 6 character and protect them like you should be doing."

Fortunately, he's called out on this and eventually it gets deconstructed in the Unlimited Blade Works route (the second example), where it turns out that Shirou has a massive case of Survivor Guilt that causes him to totally disregard his own safety; the deconstruction is that he feels the other person's safety is more important than his own so there's no problem getting hurt. Heaven's Feel also plays with this trope by having Sakura be, from Shirou's point of view, totally helpless... then you get closer to the end and she turns out to have an absurdly powerful Superpowered Evil Side. Shirou promptly modifies his definition of "protect Sakura" to mean "get rid of Sakura's Superpowered Evil Side."

He's a borderline Badass Normal thanks to a childhood as a Karate prodigy, but otherwise an Ordinary High-School Student. She is Saitohimea, an incalculably ancient vampire sorceress with a literally godlike powerlevel, handily clocking in at a 6 on the Super Weight scale. Yet, he desperately wants to protect her. The balance gradually gets evened out, though, starting with her giving him the Kiss of the Vampire, supplying him with pseudo-immortality, and later granting him access to a Dangerous Forbidden Technique which kills the user — handy when you can auto-revive. Shortly after, she trades most of her magical power away in a Deal with the Devil to resurrect him after he manages to get himself perma-killed — though of course that just makes him even MORE determined to protect her. Add in some good old Training from Hell, and we start to reach the point where he can conceivably be considered her protector. Might also count as an inverted case of 'it got complicated'... Saitohimea has been on the edge of a Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum due to immortal loneliness before, and her relationship with Taito is all that's keeping her (relatively) sane at the moment. Hence, MAINTAINING their relationship is of no small interest to a number of organizations with a vested interest in the continued existence of the universe.

The Tenth Doctor pulls this off in his first adventure, "The Christmas Invasion": The Eleventh Doctor is quite fond of these. It is, in fact, one of the first things he does when he has his faculties around him. in "The Eleventh Hour" he allows the Atraxi to read his mind, showing his previous selves in action, and asks "Is this planet protected?" In "The Power of Three" he tells a levitating alien cube that earth and its people are precious to him and that he will defend them to the death, if need be. In "The Bells of Saint John", after he recovers Clara Oswald's consciousness from a Spoonhead android, the Doctor sends a message over the WiFi network, "Under My Protection". He declares this again in "Nightmare in Silver" about the young children that the Cybermen have begun to convert. Rory Williams. He loves his girlfriend, later fiancÃ©e, later wife, and will do anything to protect her. A lot of the time they protect each other — for example, Rory fails at sword-fighting a fish vampire, so Amy destroys it with a mirror. He then goes to guard her comatose body for 2,000 years, becoming the legendary Last Centurion. He seems to develop something of a complex.

Declaration of Protection / int_ccf8f99e	comment	Kaitou Saint Tail has an odd variant involving turning The Only One Allowed to Defeat You into this. When Sympathetic Inspector Antagonist Asuka Jr. makes The Promise with Phantom Thief Saint Tail that she can't let anyone else catch her before he does, he initially means it in the sense of arresting her and preventing anyone else from taking away his glory, but as the series goes on, it turns out that he would at least treat her with a certain amount of human respect whereas anyone else who tries to catch her would shamelessly use inhumane things ranging from tear gas to electric shocks or even try to murder her. As a result, Asuka Jr. coming to sympathize with Saint Tail and no longer wanting to arrest her actually gets him to insist on being the one to catch her even more, because preventing anyone else from catching her means preventing anyone else from hurting her, whereas his version of "catch" ends up meaning "catch" in the sense of "preventing her from falling". At the same time, his budding feelings for Saint Tail's civilian identity Meimi take the form of a metaphorical variant as he decides that he wants to be the one who can emotionally support her while preventing others from carelessly doing whatever they want with her.

Declaration of Protection / int_d3e3e38a	comment	She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Deconstructed. Catra always took the brunt of Shadow Weaver's abuse as the Unfavorite, and Adora was constantly trying to protect her. However, Catra was always in Adora's shadow and never received recognition for her accomplishments, whereas Adora was always praised and loved by everyone; it likely didn't help that the Horde frowns upon displays of "weakness", and continually being protected by someone else would likely make one appear weak. Catra was envious of her, and after Adora left, she felt abandoned. She then obsessed around ruining her former friend's life and blamed her for everything. Her behaviour worsens until Catra pushes everyone away in her insane quest to finally beat Adora, rejecting every chance she has at happiness. Adora later makes one for Glimmer, saying that Angella told her to take care of Glimmer, and that's what she intends to do. This one is also deconstructed. First, Angella actually said "take care of each other", and Adora took it as an instruction for her specifically to protect Glimmer because, thanks to her Dark and Troubled Past, taking every available responsibility on her own back is what Adora does. Second, Adora's traumatic past also gave her a tendency to protect people in overbearing and controlling ways, denying them their agency and trying to fence them in to keep them safe — something that Glimmer, possibly the most stubborn character in the show, was never going to take in stride. Adora's efforts to protect Glimmer end up being read as attempts to undermine her authority and this combines with all the other stressors on their relationship to split Glimmer off from the other two members of the Best Friends Squad.

The player, on the other hand, will soon realize — by the second playthrough if not sooner — that he's been doing a lot of really questionable stuff in order to protect and save her.

Declaration of Protection / int_e67a7d6c	comment	Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Konoka and Setsuna's dynamic falls most closely under this but covers several variants. While Setsuna is heavily motivated by a backstory incident where she failed to protect Konoka from drowning, she also spends a lot of time trying to protect her by hiding the truth about magic from her, thus making it a case of It's Not You, It's My Enemies. Later on, she nearly dies while trying to rescue Konoka. Ultimately her absolute dedication to protecting Konoka comes back to the old childhood 'close shave' where they were both lucky to survive. (Whether Setsuna's dedication edges into the territory of yuri is left as an exercise for the class.) Asuna is Negi's ministra magi and thus responsible for protecting the Squishy Wizard while he casts his spells. In response, Negi pushes himself to become stronger so she doesn't have to protect him and put herself in danger. While competing in Mahora Fest's Tournament she loudly declared to Negi that she was plenty powerful enough to protect him. Then she became profoundly embarrassed because she was fighting at that moment and the entire crowd interpreted her declaration as a love confession.

Both played for laughs, such as him constantly monitoring Cadance during her pregnancy as his vow also extends to the health of her and Shining Armor's unborn child, and played very seriously in "Critical Research Failure". When Commander Tempest invades and petrifies the still-pregnant Cadance, Xenilla becomes absolutely livid and goes on the attack.

Despite her abilities and combat training, she's still scared and confused about herself and the world around her. Simon, despite possessing a Big Brother Instinct to rival the Captain's own, had an unimposing appearance and soft-spoken nature unless he needed to protect someone (like a patient endangered by an incompetent surgeon). Kaylee and Mal fit as well. Mal is very protective of his mechanic and even threatens to kill Simon if he doesnâ€™t treat her after sheâ€™s shot in the pilot.

So he's sworn never to fail to protect a woman, particularly one he cares about. When his new girlfriend, Kozue, is attacked and scarred while he was out fighting, it becomes his Start of Darkness as he decided that Utopia Justifies the Means — he'll do whatever it takes to protect her from now on. It... doesn't end well. Either way, that means he fits this trope TWICE OVER. Poor guy.

In her first major appearance, after she's effectively sort-of gained her freedom from the cell where Grime was originally holding her, she privately makes a vow to her photo of Anne and Marcy that she'll find them and get them back home. In "Snow Day", Anne Boonchuy vows to protect the people of Wartwood from whatever's been causing the annual disappearances whilst the townsfolk are frozen during Hiber-Day, although Hop Pop cautions her that it's quite a workload. At the episode's end, she notes that Polly almost got eaten on her watch after she slacked off, although she nevertheless saved her and furthermore found out how to stop future disappearances from happening. In Season 2, Frobo is very protective of Polly. He outright vows to save her when Andrias tries to kill her, and he loses his life (temporarily) in the process of doing so.

Squall, Rinoa, and company succeed by preventing such a scenario from fully realizing.

After sharing their first kiss, Kirito offers his life to Asuna and she declares that she will do anything to protect him, no matter what. As a level 96 "floor-clearing badass", she has the skills to back this declaration up. In the final battle with Heathcliff, she attempts to make good on this promise by absorbing the would-be final blow to Kirito, sacrificing herself to save him. Unfortunately, the sacrifice is short-lived as Heathcliff runs Kirito though on his next strike. Kirito is able to kill Heathcliff before he finishes dying, which wins the game and saves both himself and Asuna.

Plus, Harugon is secretly his girlfriend Kuroe, so he's unknowingly, indirectly declaring his intent to protect her.

If you want to get her good ending you'd better drop that attitude when Lilly brings it up because Hanako does not like it. At all. Other routes also touch the trope, either criticizing it or reaching a compromise between protecting/helping a girl and letting her be when needed. For example, Emi's path shows that Emi does need emotional protection due to refusing to make any deep relationships after her father's death in the accident that claimed her legs, and as long as Hisao doesn't overdo it, he can protect her broken emotions; and in Rin's it turns out that Rin needs both protection (since she's under very heavy pressure from her well-intentioned but VERY pushy art teacher) and to be understood (because she has big problems on expressing what she feels if it's not through art)
