* Athena and her assistant Nike in ''[[Appleseed]]'' are complete opposites but work extremely efficiently together running the city of Olympus, with Athena keeping the public and the politicians in check mostly by sheer force of will and Nike serving as her [[Noble Top Enforcer]] behind the scenes. In the anime, Athena has red hair and dresses in red and brown, while Nike is pale blond and dresses in white and blue. |

* Jin and Mugen from ''[[Samurai Champloo]]''. They are not only dressed in the respective colors and are [[foil]]s, they represent every trait possible of the trope. Water and fire ([[Animal Motifs|fish and rooster]] in the OP), past and future, tradition and innovation ([[Technician Versus Performer]]), orthodox and unorthodox, predictable and unpredictable, economy and extravagance, controlled purpose and chaotic energy, [[Order Versus Chaos|order and chaos]], [[Emotions vs. Stoicism|stoicism and emotion]], etc. Jin is practically unable to feel passionate about anything or form attachments to anyone, while Mugen is recklessly passionate without direction or purpose (or the brain power to put it to use). Fortunately, [[Character Development|they get better]] throughout all the whirls of yin and yang. |
