{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Spike and Vicious, ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]''
* Inversion: Knives and Vash, ''[[Trigun]]''
** It should be noted that the 'organization' in this scenario is ''[[Humans Are
* Mello and Near, ''[[Death Note]]''
* Inversion: Sasuke and ''[[Naruto]]''.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
== Comic Books ==
* Basically the whole plot in ''[[The Authority|The Magnificent Kevin]]'' comic books, with Kevin just being too damn scared to leave.
* ''[[Civil War (Comic Book)|Civil War]]'' was this on a large scale, with [[Captain America (comics)]] leading the Outside faction while [[Iron Man]] headed up the Inside. Officially, the pro-regs are Type 3 - trying to blunt Superhuman Registration from within - but there's a lot of [[Depending on the Writer]] and [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] here.
== Film ==
Line 53 ⟶ 54:
== Tabletop Games ==
* ''[[Dungeons
== Theater ==
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
* Judges Drace and Gabranth in ''[[Final Fantasy XII]]''. Not played straight though, as Gabranth only stays the inside man because Drace urges him to after her attempt to become an outside man ends in tragedy.
* Tommy and Sam in ''Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven'' game (outside and inside, respectively).
* Wesker and Birkin in ''[[Resident Evil]]'', though they remained friends and comrades.
* Brandon Heat and Harry MacDowell from ''[[Gungrave]]''.
* Somewhat inverted in ''[[Suikoden II]]'', where both the main characters essentially start out as outside men, with one slowly working their way into the system to subvert it from within. The trope follows from there, though, as there are multiple points where the outside man begs the inside man to leave the evil empire, the inside man eventually overthrows the original leader and becomes the one in charge, and the entire scenario ends with a [[Redemption Equals Death]] outcome. Well, unless you get the best ending, anyway.
Line 72 ⟶ 73:
== Webcomics ==
* Right-Eye and Redcloak, from the ''[[The Order of the Stick]]'' prequel book "Start of Darkness". Right-Eye leaves after deciding their leader Xykon is [[We Have Reserves|too dangerous to stay in service to]], while Redcloak believes [[I've Come Too Far...|he's already invested too much in The Plan to quit now]].
