Red Oni, Blue Oni/Web Comics: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' has Oasis and Kusari, two gymnastic assassins of mysterious origin with superhuman and probably supernatural powers. Oasis is basically insane as a result of [[Mind Control]] gone bad, which involved manipulating her emotional states. She is left impulsive and compulsive about the emotional reactions she was ordered to have before her controller was killed and is often incapable of rational thought. Recently, it's even be discovered that she is pyrokinetic, just adding to her fiery repertoire. Kusari obeys orders unfailingly, possibly also mind-controlled, but is still capable of rational thought and always remains cool. The two look about as identical as they can under their respective outfits considering that Kusari is always masked, but Oasis's most noticeable feature is her fiery red hair, whereas Kusari is always shown in the same bluish-purple outfit. There is [[Epileptic Trees|speculation]] that the contrast between the two hides symbolism hinting at their as yet unknown origins.

* [[The Continentals]]: A steampunk murder, mystery, sci-fi, adventure webcomic set in post Jack the Ripper England where Continental Operative Jeffrey Tiffen Smythe is the sophisticated, elegant, intellectual gentleman and his gender bending partner, the adventress Lady Fiona Fiziwigg, is a hot tempered, foul mouthed, do and say as I damned well please malcontnent and proud of it. It's a pairing of mismatched personalities that works surprisingly well as the two investigate a series of brutal "mangling" murders, uncovering a tangled web of intrigue, adventure--and murder!!!

** Also works with a [[Hot-Blooded]], uninhibited Casimiro and disciplined, well-mannered Finas. Even their color schemes are red and blue respectively.

** There's also Doc Worth's [[Jerkass]] red to Lamont's nice guy blue. Although it's been shown that if anybody can get Lamont to lose his cool, it's Worth.

* ''[[Fetch Quest Saga of the Twelve Artifacts]]'' has [[Action Girl|Saffron]] [[Rebellious Princess|Lachesis]] and her twin Nephilim. No guesses as to [http://www.fetchquest.com/archive.php?chapterid=7&comicid=6 who's who].

* ''[[Misfile]]''. Ash and Emily. They even have the correct coloured hair.

** [[The Stoic|Dave Strider]] is the Blue Oni to [[Nice Guy|John Egbert]]'s Red Oni, though their [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|associated colors]] are kind of inverted. (Dave is Red/fire, John is Blue/air.)

** Karkat Vantas (red) and Jack Noir (blue) also have traces of this during their team-up in Act V, minus color correlations<ref>because trolls think fashion is stupid and Jack '''[[Meaningful Name|Noir]]''' is big on black</ref>. Karkat is impulsive, loud, and almost always angry at something, while Jack is cool, quiet, and moves with a chilling economy of effort.

** [[The Dragon|Doc Scratch]] is a calm, [[Smug Super|smug]], [[Man of Wealth and Taste|gentlemanly]] [[Chessmaster]], while his boss, [[Bigger Bad|Lord English]], is a brutal, incredibly destructive demon that very much looks the part. [[Word of God]] says this was intentional.

* [[Juathuur]]. Dejoru is dark-haired, calm, and compassionate, with the talent to become a healer. Ratheel is loud, fun-loving, has red hair, and fights by making stuff explode. Partly subverted as {{spoiler|Dejoru is capable of releasing an enormous amount of raw energy. Ratheel, on the other hand, is completely useless in each and every fight we see.}}

** Redcloak's true red oni was [[Posthumous Character|his brother Right-Eye]], however. ''[[Start of Darkness]]'', in which Right-Eye is still alive, repeatedly lampshades it.

** [[Lovable Rogue|Haley]] and [[Actual Pacifist|Celia]] also count.

** The Lawyers: Phil's red to Mr. Jones' blue. There is something of an inverted lampshade hung on this; Phil wears a blue tie and Mr. Jones wears a red tie.

** [[Knight Templar|Miko]] also plays the red to both [[Genius Bruiser|Roy]] and [[The Wise Prince|Hinjo]]'s blue

* Arguably, Sabrina and Zig Zag from ''[[Sabrina Online (Webcomic)|Sabrina Online]]'', the former being a somewhat reserved computer/''[[Transformers]]'' nut and the latter an outgoing porn star legend.

* ''[[Elf Blood]]'' has the {{spoiler|KO Twins}}: SKO is the Blue Oni, being an adherent of law, order, and obedience, whereas TKO is the Red Oni, being the runaway renegade with a passion for freedom. Judging from a photograph taken when they were in school, however, this dichotomy may have been inverted in the past.

* In [[Two Guys and Guy]], Guy (and occasionally Wayne as well) is the red to Frank's blue.

* ''4Komatose'' stars Ariake Shikima and Kyushu Miyamoto. Their hair, clothing and even speech balloon borders are red and blue, respectively.
