Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~harktothetaleofnelson_1125~~harktothetaleofnelson 1125.png\|link=The Simpsons (~~Animation~~animation)\|right]] In fiction with child heroes, it's common to have a bully and his most frequent victim as supporting characters. While the bully might feature as a villain, in stories where they are on the main characters' side, they are frequently paired up with the wimp as a sort of [[Brains and Brawn]], [[Big Guy, Little Guy]] double act. Line 11: == [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] == * [[The Woobie\|Chrona]] and [[Equippable Ally\|Ragnarok]] from ''[[~~Soul Eater (Manga)\|~~Soul Eater]]''. * [[Dumb Muscle]] Gian and [[Spoiled Brat]] Suneo in ''[[Doraemon]]'' could be considered this as they generally appear together. * [[Kendo Team Captain]] Kuno and the [[Looks Like Cesare\|pale]] outcast Gosunkugi frequently team up to defeat [[Ranma ½ ~~(Manga)\|Ranma~~]]. Though Kuno is shown in some stories to be unpopular himself and just [[Selective Obliviousness\|oblivious]] to it. == [[Comic Books]] == Line 22: == [[Video Games]] == * In ''[[Bully (~~Video~~video ~~Game~~game)\|Bully]]'', the game starts out with [[Manipulative Bastard\|Gary]] and [[Non-Action Guy\|Petey]] playing this role, although it's not a perfect fit since Gary is more into mind games and emotional manipulation than physical bullying. When [[Player Character\|Jimmy]] takes Gary's place, the trope works better as Petey and Jimmy work as a [[Brains and Brawn]] team, although of course how much Jimmy acts like a typical bully is [[Video Game Cruelty Potential\|purely up to you]]. == Western Animation Series == * ''[[The Simpsons (~~Animation~~animation)\|The Simpsons]]'': Whenever a group of kids includes Nelson and Martin, it seems the two end up paired together. "Team [[Discovery Channel]]!" Nelson is usually rather unhappy about this. ** Before that, in [[Matt Groening]]'s ''[[~~Life in Hell (Comic Strip)\|~~Life in Hell]]'' comic, a strip featured the 64 different types of elementary school students. Two of these were "The Bully" and "The Bully's Little Pal." * ''[[~~Phineas and Ferb (Animation)\|~~Phineas and Ferb]]'': Bulford and Baljeet regularly get paired together. * ''[[~~South Park (Animation)\|~~South Park]]'' has Cartman and Butters. == Western Animation Film == * In [[Beauty and ~~The~~the Beast ~~(Disney)~~\|Disney's version of Beauty And The Beast]] Gaston and Lefou would fit this. {{reflist}}
