▲{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Gurren Lagann]]'' This seems to be how the two cockpits for the titlular mecha function. A screen was placed inside so that they could see and communicate, but most fights are so hectic it's unlikely they can (or even wanted to) form a plan. And their mecha is the one that ends up with the highest kill count at the end of every episode...
Line 14:
* ''[[Eureka Seven]]'': When Eureka and Renton pilot their side by side mech they are able to move it without any communication between due to the power of love.
==
* In the crossover fanfic ''[[Renegade (fanfic)|Renegade]]'', Garrus and Admiral Havoc both come up with a plan to raid a mercenary group's hideout by essentially busting down the front door and charging in with a few dozen troops and kill everything in sight. [[Only Sane Man|Shepard]] convinces them to back down and keep the troops in reserve, and instead leads an infiltration team inside the building. Then Zaeed Massani shows up and does the exact same thing Garrus and Havoc were planning, except in this case he's doing it [[One-Man Army|by himself]] with a [[Mini-Mecha]].
== TV Live Action ==▼
* One ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' episode involved the bridge crew of the Enterprise working together to trap an alien who appeared on the bridge without the crew communicating with each other. Captain Picard mentions to the alien that the crew knew what he would order without him having to do so because of their good working relationship. ▼
* Justified in [[Dollhouse]] where this is made possible thanks to the 'groupthink' program. ▼
* The ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'' episode "Midway", Ronon meets '''THE''' original [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]], Teal'c. The two spend the first third of episode giving each other the hairy eyeball and smacking each other around. When they reach the titular space station, they run afoul of a Wraith invasion force working it's way to Earth. Without any possible warning or planning, the two of them start kicking shit out of the Wraith, climaxing with them halting their invasion of the SGC.▼

Line 28 ⟶ 23:
* ''[[The Boondock Saints]]'' and the sequel All Saints Day displays on multiple occasions that the lead pair specifically rely on this in combat. Specifically their responses when attacked by Ma II, or when they fell through the air duct are generally played out symmetrically.
* At the end of the first ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' movie, Jack and Will display this, particularly during the rescue where the two work in perfect harmony to take out the soldiers without having had any time to plan whatsoever.

* The plan in ''
* Justified in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', where the Rat Patrol's nanomachines let each member of the squad see and hear what each ''other'' member is seeing and hearing. This allows them to pull off maneuvers with ridiculous precision and coordination.
** And ''then'' it's played completely straight when Meryl teams up with {{spoiler|Johnny Sasaki}} who doesn't ''have'' nanomachines.
