00:00 "I thought things would be different this time, but clearly nothing has changed."
00:03 Welcome to MissMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the Top 10 Cartoon Enemies
00:09 Turned Lovers. "Oh, crikey. I can't believe I just did that. I can't believe I just said that."
00:16 For this list, we'll be looking at how these animated couples transformed their dislike for
00:21 one another into love. Since we'll be covering major plot points, beware of spoilers ahead.
00:27 What's your favorite relationship trope in cartoons? Let us know in the comments below.
00:31 Number 10. Fluttershy and Discord. "My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic." The connection
00:38 between pals is one of the greatest parts in life. While the six pony protagonists discover
00:43 the meaning of friendship through their crazy adventures, not every character agrees with their
00:48 positive influence. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to wreak." Chaotic prankster
00:54 Discord certainly doesn't. Despite his shenanigans in the beginning, his friendship with the sweet
00:59 Fluttershy caused him to change his ways. While everyone else distrusted the troublemaker,
01:04 she's the kindest to him. "You know what I see? I see that Discord's far from perfect,
01:09 but I also see none of you giving him a chance." It's not always easy giving someone a second
01:14 chance, but this implied pairing shows us just how rewarding it can be. Fans can't help but love
01:20 how powerful their bond is, even if it's never 100% confirmed that they're in a relationship.
01:25 "See? He can be a real sweetheart once you get to know him."
01:30 Number 9. Arja Taran and Steve Palchuk. "Three Below, Tales of Arcadia." Crash-landing on Earth
01:37 as an alien is hard enough as it is, especially when you have to blend in with humans. "Do you
01:42 always ask this many questions, human?" "Only when I'm suspicious." Arja must face the mundane
01:47 struggles of looking like a teenaged girl, alongside hiding her identity from E.T. hating
01:53 Steve. Although their first meeting was rocky, Steve realises through his relationship with Arja
01:58 that extraterrestrials aren't as bad as he originally thought. "Pretty romantic, huh?"
02:02 Arja's willingness to fight for her kin and Steve's comedy gold make them a wonderful pair.
02:12 Whether it's getting rid of evil forces or finding a way back to her home planet,
02:16 they always complete their mission. "My lumbering oaf." "My ninja-kicking angel."
02:24 Number 8. Jimmy Neutron and Cindy Vortex. "The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius."
02:33 Who doesn't love a good academic rivals-to-lovers trope? "Yes, Miss Fowl, and wait till you hear
02:38 mine. It'll be the best." Following the outlandish experiences of the super-smart pre-teen and his
02:44 best friends, love doesn't seem to be on his school schedule. This is until his classroom
02:49 competition with Cindy begins to transform into something more romantic. "I mean, I know I'm not
02:54 supposed to like you, but being here on this island, away from school and grades and peer
02:59 pressure, it makes me realise how ridiculous that is. You're a really cool person." "Really?"
03:06 While both of them continually try to outperform the other, deep down,
03:10 they care about each other. Fans loved the gradual progression of their dynamic.
03:15 This extremely intelligent couple motivates their other half to always try their best.
03:19 Without even realising it, they truly bring out the greatness in one another.
03:24 "Come on, let's go home." "Um, hello, guys? Wait up!"
03:31 Number 7. Roy Harper and Cheshire, aka Jade Nguyen, Young Justice. One of the biggest
03:38 priorities of these sidekicks in the DC Universe is to work their way up to superhero status.
03:44 "Cheshire." "Chill, Red. I'm not here to fight."
03:49 Who says love isn't also a superpower? Originally flirting with him as a distraction tactic,
03:54 Cheshire saw Harper as nothing more than a tool for her agenda.
03:58 "Too bad, lover boy." That is, until they keep crossing paths,
04:03 and Cheshire eventually lets her guard down and opens up to him. Their connection surpassed the
04:08 impossible as we see how love and hate can truly be two sides of the same coin. Their desire to
04:14 sacrifice everything for their goals may have initially driven them apart, but it ended up
04:19 being the very thing that brings them together. "Leon needs her mother." "And I need you too."
04:25 Number 6. Arnold Shortman and Helga Pataki, Hey Arnold. Elementary school adventures can be
04:32 associated with some of the best childhood memories, especially if you have wacky
04:36 grandparents. But everything isn't always so dandy for Arnold, who often has to deal with
04:41 Helga's mean comments towards him. "Hey, where's where you going, you little yellow-haired shrimp?"
04:47 It seems like she dislikes him, but as the series progresses, it turns out that she's had a massive
04:52 crush on him the entire time. "But I adore him. Oh, my football-headed love god. I'm okay,
05:00 you're okay, we're all okay. I love you." He ultimately sees past the tough exterior she
05:06 puts on for everyone else and gets her to be her true self for him, with the two finally locking
05:11 lips in the 2017 TV movie. From her energetic nature to his kind-hearted temperament, they're
05:17 the epitome of balance. "So I always wondered if maybe you were mean to me because... well,
05:24 you loved me. Love? You? Well, yeah, sure, I mean, like, I love a root canal."
05:30 5. Sterling Archer and Lana Kane Archer. A self-absorbed secret agent like him
05:37 would probably be fired in the real world, but he's perfect as the morally gray protagonist of
05:42 this adult animated series. Among his flawed partners in crime, Archer has an undeniable
05:48 connection with his ex-girlfriend, Lana. "So don't speak to me, ever. And while you're not
05:54 ever speaking to me, jump up your own ass and die." Although she isn't his biggest fan due
05:59 to his arrogance and their past, they're forced to work together on missions. They may not
06:03 explicitly say it, but we can see the depths of their feelings through their actions. "His wife
06:08 fell in love with him when he came back because he was caring and loving, which he wasn't before."
06:13 Lana isn't afraid to put the cocky spy in his place, which is why they're a perfect match
06:18 whether or not they are officially together. She helps him become a better person through her love.
06:24 "AJ, meet Sterling Archer." "Hey, I..."
06:27 "Hey, AJ." 4. Jack and Ashii
06:38 Samurai Jack, destined to defeat an evil power, a royal heir in feudal Japan, is transported to
06:44 another time period where the malicious force the Samurai Prince was meant to defeat has taken over
06:49 the future. That's not the only fated connection in the show. Eradicating Jack has always been
06:55 Ashii's mission. "Die, die! Why won't you die? Scum Aku will be triumphant!"
07:02 She continually fights him despite his tenderness with her. His humility and gentleness
07:07 makes her realize Samurai Jack's not so bad. "Even in the bowels of the darkest of creatures,
07:13 there is beautiful light." At first, she fought hard to get rid of him, but by the end,
07:19 she's OK with risking it all to save him. What a 180. Like fire to water, these two complete
07:25 one another. "Ashii!" "I'm OK. I felt him leave me." "He will never hurt anyone ever again."
07:37 3. Gwen Tennyson and Kevin Levin - Ben 10 franchise
07:43 Being able to take on the characteristics of extraterrestrials to protect the Earth
07:47 is no small feat. "Kevin, people could be hurt."
07:50 "You're in a lot of trouble, son." Especially when you keep having to work with your former nemesis.
07:58 Seemingly disliking her for being smart-alecky, it seems like there's no way Kevin and Gwen can
08:03 be friends, let alone anything more. "You think I'd go with you if Ben wasn't here?"
08:08 "Yeah, I got roguish charm." However, Gwen apparently began crushing on Kevin way back
08:13 when, though she denied it until she and the bad boy had an undeniable connection in Alien Force.
08:20 Turns out that Kevin has secretly liked her too. Their banter is hilarious, and their chemistry
08:26 is literally out of this world. "Sorry, Gwen. Sometimes a roar is a roar."
08:32 2. Adora - She-Ra and Catra - She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
08:38 Falling out with your childhood best friend never feels good, let alone being pitted against each
08:43 other in a massive war later on in life. "Whatever it is you're planning, it won't work."
08:48 Catra feels betrayed by Adora joining the Rebellion, which fuels them to become mortal enemies.
08:54 "I told you not to come back! But you just love feeling like a hero, don't you?"
08:58 Somehow, they're able to jump over this ginormous hurdle and rekindle their love.
09:03 Seeing how devoted they are to their respective causes was one thing,
09:06 but when they share the same objective, it's something else entirely.
09:10 Though their romantic feelings for each other were hinted at throughout,
09:13 fans weren't sure if they would ever really see them become a couple during the show's run.
09:17 Luckily, our wishes came true. This slowest of slow burns made our hearts flutter.
09:24 "It's over. He's gone. Good riddance."

09:45 1. Luz Noseda and Amity Blight - The Owl House
09:49 "I know you're in there! You can't hide from me! What are you? Who are you? I want answers!"
09:55 If you got the chance to enter a whimsical world and become a magical apprentice,
09:59 would you take it? Luz certainly does when she's presented with the opportunity.
10:03 Throughout her adventures in this new realm, Amity doesn't take Luz seriously. Luz constantly
10:08 trying to prove her worth causes a rift between the two, but eventually, Amity sees what a good
10:13 soon-to-be witch Luz is. "Well then, if that's settled, may I have this dance?"
10:18 The couple's awkward energy around each other is quite endearing and reminds us what young
10:24 love is all about. Regardless of their clumsiness at times, we can't help but root for the adorable
10:30 pair. "And it'll be awesome." "I know."
