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

{{trope}}

* While most of the characters tend towards red oni, ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' has a bit of this going on in the different teams, mostly their leaders. Church, the man in charge of the blue team, is fairly on-the-ball and tries to get things done, and he took over from Butch Flowers, a soft-spoken, thoughtful man whose only flaw seemed to be in thinking that the whole Red Army versus Blue Army conflict was something of a game and strategizing accordingly (in a flashback, when Church reports on Red activity, Flowers refers to them as "Those rascals!" in a no-hard-feelings sort of way). Sarge, leader of the red team, puts exactly no thought into his battle plans beyond how they can be used to kill Grif, but he goes at them with such a fervor that, if he did think about his plans for three seconds straight, he might actually win.

** On a more individualized level, the Freelancer Dakota twins. North is the Blue Oni--calm, cautious, and strictly by-the-book during missions, and rather mild-mannered and friendly during downtime. South is the Red, a hasty, [[Hot-Blooded]] [[Leeroy Jenkins]] during battle, and bitchy, abrasive, and almost anti-social the rest of time.

* The Sentinel and Overseer of [[Gaia Online]].

** Interesting case: they fit the roles to a T during the Halloween event, but then get partially inverted during the Xmas event.

* The [[Mondo Media]] series ''[[Dick Figures]]'' features a red stick man and a blue stick man with distinctly opposite personalities.

* In [[Everyman HYBRID]], HABIT and The Slender Man come off this way, especially in the fights between the two on Twitter. (Yes, Slender Man [[Suddenly Voiced|actually says something.]] [[Better Than It Sounds|It's actually pretty creepy.]]) HABIT types in ALLCAPS and is absolutely insane and unambiguously evil. Slender Man seems condescendingly amused by his shenanigans and his messages are typed normally.

* [[Equestria Chronicles]]...has too many examples to list.

* Lewis is often this to Simon in the Yogscasts; other times, it's subverted.

* Kyle from [[Statless and Tactless]] is the level, balanced player to Joe's sociopathic antics. They even have blue and red text.
