Line 27:
** The third [[Bleach]] movie, ''Fade to Black'', has this split between [[Clingy Jealous Girl|Homura]] and [[Stoic Woobie|Shizuku]], two siblings that [[The Lancer]] adopted before becoming a Shinigami. This pair actually provides a pretty interesting variation: It's clear that these two are the ones responsible for starting and intensifying the conflict within the third film, but Shizuku is much more action-oriented than his elder sister, being the one to wield that memory-erasing [[Sinister Scythe]], while Homura, with her [[Mass Teleportation]], acts as backup support. Furthermore, while Homura is paranoid, stubborn and near-obsessive, Shizuku is a lot calmer, rational and emotionally stable, but of the two, she's the one calling the shots and directing their actions, while he's loyal and obedient to the letter, even when he disagrees with what she says.
* In ''[[Soul Eater]]'' during the Book of eibon Article Noah was the Main Villain until it was revealed to be The Book's intelligence the Tables of Contents who wanted to teach the world of Asura's madness and also creates a new Noah representing Wraith to replace The Noah of Greed.
* The Fishman Island Arc of ''[[One Piece]]'' has {{spoiler|[[Mad Love|Vander Decken]] teaming up with [[Everything Is's Even Worse Withwith Sharks|captain Hordy Jones]] of the [[Fantastic Racism|New Fishman Pirates]] to overthrow [[Cloudcuckoolander|King Neptune]]. Jones wants control of the Island, Decken wants Princess Shirahoshi. Both men's insanity leads both to try and kill eachother in the end}}.
* ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'''s last arc has a ''de facto'' Big Bad Duumvirate on the American Pentagram. Elitist [[The Juggernaut|goliath]] Mr. Don is the team captain and the undisputed [[The Leader|leader]] of the team, yet despite his [[Genius Bruiser]] status, he spends most of his time serving as the centre, which leaves his ability to lead the team somewhat handicapped. As such [[Evil Genius]] Clifford D. Louis makes and executes most of the plans; he's also the only player who isn't frightened of Mr. Don and whom the latter doesn't try to order around, making them an example of this trope.
* In ''[[GaoGaiGar]] FINAL'' Palparepa is officially considered the leader of Eleven Masters of Sol and Pauls Abel is considered to be his [[The Dragon|Dragon]], but in reality they have divided the [[Big Bad]] duties between each other and Abel clearly acts like Palparepa's equal.
