Line 24:
* While [[Blood Knight|Kenpachi Zaraki]] is the farthest thing you're gonna get from moe in ''[[Bleach]]'', pair him and [[Killer Rabbit|Yachiru]] up, and their interactions are either funny or totally adorable.
** Meanwhile, pair the already [[Moe]] Orihime with either Ichigo, Uryu, or Rangiku, and watch the [[Moe]] factor rocket to even greater heights.
* Mai Tokiha in ''[[MaiMy-HiME]]'' evolves into this. Her detractors could describe her original romantic crush on Yuuichi being detrimental and wishywashy, while her relationship with her brother Takumi shows off her [[Cool Big Sis|mature qualities]]. Later iterations effectively pair her with Mikoto (a highly marketable but otherwise potentially [[The Scrappy|annoying]] character) which lets her fully assume a motherly mode that doesn't conflict with her badassness and letting Mikoto's clingy qualities be endearing.
** Similarly, Akira's overly serious [[Ninja]]-like demeanor is balanced by Takumi who is given the excuse he needs someone to take care of him because of [[Ill Girl|his delicate health]], letting Akira show off her [[Tsundere|tender side]]. It also helps that Takumi is very gentle, polite and even homey.
* For comparison, the ''[[Project A-ko]]'' series may have been an early invoker of this trope, and the only thing keeping C-ko's otherwise annoying personality barely in check.

* ''[[iCarly]]'': Carly and Freddie. Pretty much everything they do as a couple is cute [[Up to Eleven|to the extreme]].
* Odo and Kira from ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|Star Trek Deep Space Nine]]'', who tend to soften considerably when they're around each other and generally bring out each other's good sides.
* This was part of the logic for including Archie Kennedy as a recurring character in the ''[[Horatio Hornblower]]'' TV series. Horatio tends to keep a lot to himself, and having a more expressive friend of his own rank and age gives Horatio someone he can open up to in a way that he can't with his superior officers or subordinates, and Archie's sarcastic tendencies make a good contrast with Horatio's more serious demeanor. The fact that Archie is a [[Woobie]] also gives the normally stoic Horatio a chance to express his ''[[Kuudere|deredere]]'' side through his concern for his friend.
