Red Oni, Blue Oni/Literature: Difference between revisions

* ''[[In Death]]'': When there's a pair of murderers, they will likely fall under this trope, like in ''Seduction In Death'' and ''Indulgence In Death''. Would it surprise you to know that the Red Oni tends to be the weak spot of the two?

* The ''[[Jennings]]'' series' two main characters, Jennings and Darbishire, follow this dynamic: Jennings is impulsive, brash, and extroverted (red), while Darbishire is calm, timid, and introverted (blue). The two main teachers can also be classified under this trope as Mr. Wilkins is a temperamental and emotional [[Jerk With a Heart of Gold]] (red) while admitted [[Author Avatar]] Mr. Carter is calm, reasonable, and intellectual (blue).

* In ''[[John Carter of Mars|The Warlord of Mars]]'', the [[Big Bad Duumvirate]] of Matai Shang and Thurid fit this. Matai Shang is blue, a cold-bloodedly arrogant [[Priest King]] of a [[Path of Inspiration]] whose primary motivation is regaining his faltering power; Thurid is a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy]] pirate lord who is primarily motivated by revenge on John Carter for publicly humiliating him.

* The book series ''[[The Guardians of Childhood (Literature)|The Guardians of Childhood]]'' has the hotblooded ex-Cossack bandit swordsman [[Badass Santa|North]] as red, and the intellectual martial artist [[Easter Bunny|Bunnymund]] as blue.
