This trope is about two individuals (or occasionally, factions or civilizations) that are significantly linked together somehow (such as through a rivalry, friendship, being siblings, co-workers, competitors, etc.) that have differing personalities and, with it, often different approaches to the world in general, especially whatever they might be competing in/for/over. This, of course, gives them something to butt heads about, since their manner of acting may rub each other the wrong way and each is sure that their way of doing things is right.
Line 17:
If [[Elemental Powers]] are present, you can usually expect the red oni to use [[Playing with Fire]] or something of a similarly flashy nature, while the blue oni will prefer [[Making a Splash]] or possibly be [[An Ice Person]].
There are a lot of ways to play their interactions, so sometimes the two are both leads on an equal standing, sometimes the blue is more of [[The Smart Guy]] or [[The Lancer]] to the red's [[Hot Blood]]ed lead. The relationship can also vary wildly, as they are just as likely to be close friends as they are to being bitter rivals or enemies. One thing that is sure is that regardless of how big a cast is, when these two are in it, they will be magnetically drawn to each other.
Note that many times, this will be a relative, not an absolute, distinction: the Red Oni need not be [[The Fool]] and the Blue Oni need not be a [[Straw Vulcan]].
