May include an impassioned speech on what Alice will do to Charlie if he ever ''[[Who Dares?|dares]]'' disrespect Bob again... before the payoff that it's not because she doesn't want Bob to be abused, it's because doing so is ''her'' job, dammit!
Alice and Bob don't need to be a couple for this trope, they can just be friends. Basically, this trope is about a character who frequently uses a certain insult on another character, but if anyone else who uses the same insult for that other character
Frequently a sign of [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]], [[Vitriolic Best Buds]], or [[Tsundere]]. Also pretty much sums up the relationship between many [[Sibling Rivalry|siblings.]] Compare [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]], where a character's enemy will come to

Line 19 ⟶ 18:
* In ''[[Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai!]]'', Kyousuke constantly jabs Manami about how normal and plain she is, but when Kirino offhandedly makes a similar remark about her, Kyousuke has this to say:
{{quote|"I hate hearing someone other than me badmouthing her!"}}
* Shannon Casull teases his little sister Pacifica mercilessly in ''[[Scrapped Princess]]'', but he literally swears to oppose
* In ''[[Psyren]]'', Fredrica often bullies Marie. However, when someone else threatens her, targets her, and/or makes her cry, she goes [[Unstoppable Rage|ballistic]].
** Inui, who cruelly beats his brother
* ''[[Skip Beat!]]!'' invokes this trope in chapter 88 of the manga. Sho and Kyouko ''were'' once friends, but no one could call their ''current'' relationship "friendly." Yet when Sho's position as a top musician is threatened by a new band, Kyouko lashes out at the face of the band, and yells "I am the only one allowed to defeat him!" He can fall to the darkest depths, sure, but ''she'' has to be the one to put him there.
* A rather dark version of this happens in ''[[X 1999]]''. {{spoiler|Despite murdering Subaru's beloved sister Hokuto as well as constantly trying to kill Subaru himself, Seishiro gives Subaru one of his eyes upon his death to replace the one he lost to Fuuma/Dark Kamui. The reason given is that he didn't want a mark left on Subaru that he himself didn't make.}}
