Line 26:
* Fate Testarossa in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''.
** Depending on whom you think is [[The Protagonist]] of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS|StrikerS]]'', Nanoha or Subaru, the other one would be the [[Deuteragonist]].
* From [[Full Metal Panic!]], Kaname Chidori is this to the series' protagonist Sosuske Sagara. One might even say she's even the main protagonist of the second series ''Fumoffu''.
* Krillin held this position in the first half of ''[[Dragon Ball]]''. He lost it to Tenshinhan from the 22nd Budokai, to the end of Part 1. Master Roshi was the Tritagonist.
** Gohan in ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', with Vegeta as the tritagonist. But by the end, these positions were swapped.
Line 47:
* In ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'', [[The Lancer|Barnaby]] is the Deuteragonist to his partner Kotetsu's [[Hero Protagonist]]. Their screen-time division is about 40% and 60% respectively; Barnaby's past and involvement with the show's Big Bad is what leads to Kotetsu being drawn into the main plot. Kotetsu is effectively the catalyst for the emotions, ideals and philosophies that the story tries to put across while Barnaby provides the drive for the plot.
* Meeting, and subsequently providing shelter to, Tokito Minoru from ''[[Wild Adapter]]'' is the reason [[Anti-Hero]] protagonist Kubota Makoto becomes involved in the plot proper. Page-time division is something like 45% and 55%, especially later on in the story where Tokito becomes more and more involved with Kubota's life and vice-versa.
* The ''Steel Ball Run'' arc of ''[[Jo JoJoJo's Bizarre Adventure|Jojo's Bizarre Adventure]]'' has an interesting variant. Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli share the protagonist role equally for the first 21 volumes, but {{spoiler|Gyro dies at the hands of the arc's Big Bad after failing to defeat him}}, leading to Johnny taking the spotlight completely in the last 3 volumes.
* Another anomalous example can be seen in ''[[GetBackers]]''. Due to the anime being produced while the manga was less than halfway through its storyline, Ban, who's past and personality is explored much later on in the manga than his partner and best friend Ginji's, appears to be a cross between the Deuteragonist and [[The Artifact]]. In the manga he is the Deuteragonist during the first 12 or so volumes, but is later promoted to share the protagonist role with Ginji.
* Makise Kurisu in ''[[Steins;Gate]]'', but more so in the second half.
Line 184:
* [[Anti-Villain|Zuko]] and [[The Chick|Katara]] from ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]''. Which is the Deuteragonist and which is the Tritagonist depends on how you view things.
* Jake is this for Finn in ''[[Adventure Time]]''.
* Helga on ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'', to Arnold himself.
* Dib to ''[[Invader Zim]]'', of the opposing kind.
* Riley Freeman on ''[[The Boondocks]]'', with his older brother Huey as Protagonist and their grandfather Robert as Tritagonist.
