Line 215:
* In ''[[Rosario to Vampire|Rosario + Vampire]]'', the two main characters are '''Ao'''no Tsukune (the only human among monsters and often the [[Only Sane Man]]) and '''Aka'''shiya Moka (who's much more excitable, to say nothing of her true vampire personality). Most of the other characters also have [[Theme Naming|colour-based names]].
** When their [[Super-Powered Evil Side|super-powered evil sides]] show up, the status is switched.
* ''[[Go LionGoLion]]'' plays with this trope. Isamu has all the stereotypical characteristics of the Red Oni: impulsive, rebellious, loud, confrontational, outgoing, nervous...but wears a blue uniform, while still piloting the red lion! Akira has the Blue Oni traits: levelheaded, cool-minded, rational, quiet, calm, composed, judicious, reasonable...but wears the red uniform and civilian attire! Fala has an even mix of traits from both red oni and blue oni, wears a pink uniform and civilian clothes, and pilots the blue lion.
* The eponymous duo of ''[[Tiger and Bunny]]'' exemplify this. Heroes with identical abilities forced to work as partners by their sponsoring company, their personalities and views on their profession are vastly different. Wild Tiger is the Red Oni - relying on emotion, instincts, and personal beliefs in justice to guide him; Barnaby is the Blue Oni - relying on logic, reason, and the best interests of his sponsors instead.
** Their color schemes are actually inverted. Tiger originally wore blue but moved on to green (still a "cool" color) early on in the series; in constrast, Barnaby wears red, a "warm" color.
