Axis Powers Hetalia - Allied Forces (roles subject to change, of course) In fanwork, the East Asian nations are typically portrayed as a Five Man Band as well: Lately, fans also apply these dynamics to the Nordics:
 * border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
 * The Hero||America (or so he wants to believe)||
 * The Lancer||England (Straight Man and The Rival of sorts to America, Team Dad... sometimes)||
 * The Big Guy||Russia (The tallest and more unstable of the group)||
 * The Smart Guy||France (extremely manipulative, sneaky and sly when he wants)||
 * The Chick||China (The most traditionally bishonen and kinda artsy. He's also The Woobie of the group even from the allies until changes out of his traditional robes into a Zhongshan suit. I mean, a Mao suit.)||
 * Sixth Ranger||Canada (Whose presence is rarely noticed by the other Allies and sometimes mistaken for America.)||
 * The Hero||China (Switches from The Chick to this since he's the eldest of the group and the others's Parental Substitute)||
 * The Lancer||Japan (Disagrees with China a LOT, ends up betraying him at some point)||
 * The Big Guy||South Korea (Tallest and more energetic of the bunch)||
 * The Smart Guy||Hong Kong (mysterious, calm, kinda emotionless, possible explosives expert)||
 * The Chick||Taiwan (the only girl for a while.
 * Sixth Ranger||Actually, two: Vietnam (the tomboy to Taiwan's girly girl) and Thailand (newest East Asian introduced). Mongolia and Tibet have the potential to be this as well, but they've barely showed up.||
 * Team Pet||Pochi! Or.. Shinatty-chan.||
 * The Hero||Finland (Nordic-centered strips are almost always from his POV)||
 * The Lancer||Sweden (Finland's husband partner)||
 * The Big Guy||Denmark (possible Boisterous Bruiser, with an axe as his Weapon of Choice)||
 * The Smart Guy||Norway (Deadpan Snarker, can see spirits, argues with Denmark)||
 * The Chick||Iceland (the youngest of the group, barring Sealand. This might change)||
 * Tagalong Kid||Sealand (Sweden's "adoptive child")||

Bleach
 * border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
 * The Hero||Ichigo Kurosaki||
 * The Lancer||Rukia Kuchiki (or Renji Abarai)||
 * The Big Guy||Yasutora "Chad" Sado||
 * The Smart Guy||Uryū Ishida||
 * The Chick||Orihime Inoue (or Rukia Kuchiki)||
 * Sixth Ranger||Renji Abarai||
 * Team Pet/The Mentor||Yoruichi Shihōin||
 * The (other) Mentor||Kisuke Urahara||
 * Varies A LOT: Initially, Rukia is The Lancer, but leaves and is briefly replaced by Uryu, who returns to Smart Guy when Renji joins the team.
 * Uryū doesn't really lower the saddle on his high horse enough to fill his The Smart Guy role very well until shortly after the Soul Society arc ends. Early on, before Renji joins the team and before Uryū calms down, it's more like this:

Bleach
 * border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
 * The Hero||Ichigo Kurosaki||
 * The Lancer||Uryū Ishida||
 * The Big Guy||Yasutora "Chad" Sado||
 * The Smart Guy||Rukia Kuchiki||
 * The Chick||Orihime Inoue||
 * Varies A LOT: One of the complicating factors is that, aside from The Big Guy, Rukia has some elements of all five roles, acting as the informative partner-mentor to Ichigo in the Substitution arc, posing as the primary focus of the Soul Society rescue arc, and in the first half of the story, was the series' co-star, important enough to be considered as The Hero for her own personal character arc.
 * In the Arrancar arc, Chad and Uryū are replaced by Renji/Ikkaku and Hitsugaya respectively, and Rukia becomes The Lancer again.
 * In the midst of the Soul Society Arc, Hitsugaya briefly substitutes for Ichigo as The Hero, with his friend, Momo Hinamori as The Chick and lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto as The Lancer.
 * In all OVAs and filler arcs, Rukia is The Lancer and Renji the Sixth Ranger.

Bleach - The five Shinigami/Soul Reapers who travel to the world of the living at the start of the Arrancar arc can be sorted into a similar team:
 * border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0

Fullmetal Alchemist (The Elric brothers may be too independent to fully fit this trope, so for now we'll use the military team instead.)
 * border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0
 * The Hero||Roy Mustang||
 * The Lancer||Lt. Riza Hawkeye (is always by Mustang's side, serving as his sole confidant - she is also the highest ranked besides Mustang, and generally level-headed where the other guys are completely lost. She also keeps Mustang on track and serves as his bodyguard on occasion. Comes close to being Mustangs Battle Butler.)||
 * The Big Guy||Lt. Jean Havoc (It seems Breda would be, but Havoc is the most experienced (aside from Hawkeye and Mustang) in combat. Serves more in this capacity in the manga then the anime, in the anime he serves as more of the team butt monkey or even the Chick then anything else.)||
 * The Smart Guy||Lt Heymans Breda, WO Vato Falman (He looks like the big guy, but truth is Breda is a tactical genius, though this is more an informed ability then anything else. He often does the espionage work for Mustang, including picking up Dr Marcoh, supervising illegal border crossings, and interrogating Maria Ross. Warrant Officer Falman might also count considering he has a photographic memory and a more 'Spock' like manner.)||
 * Tagalong Kid||Master Sergeant Kain Fuery (He's the techie, almost useless at fighting, and has the lowest rank of all the assembled team. He'd be the smart guy, except Breda and Falman are much smarter then he is. Often gets in the way when fighting breaks out.)||
 * The Mentor||Lt. Gen. Grumman (Specifically, Mustang's mentor in the manga.)||
 * Team Pet||Black Hayate||
