Vitriolic Best Buds/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* Essentially the relationship between Saki and the entire ''[[Genshiken]]'' through most of the story. Saki is disturbed or confused about the nerdy (and porn-obsessed) interests of the rest of the club, and responds to them with snark and insults unto the very end, despite eventually regarding most of the club members as close friends. Also, although she claims to wish for the day the Genshiken club is closed, she's more than willing to stand up for them.

* ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'': Given how large part of their social life is based on a [[Tall, Dark and Snarky|culture of polite insult]], it's not surprising that most of the Abh friendships happen this way. Among the best examples are Bibauth brothers, Crown Prince Dusanh and his Chief of Staff, and [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold|Admiral Spaurh]] with, well, everyone.

** Ed's relationship with Ling. Ling is sort of an [[Idiot Hero]] (or [[Obfuscating Stupidity|at least acts the part]]) and considers Ed a good friend, Ed is annoyed with Ling's mooching food and money off of him, seeking immortality—essentially an evil goal given the method of getting it in this universe, and for being much taller than [[The Napoleon|him]] even though he's a year younger. Deep down, Ed does actually like Ling (which becomes obvious when {{spoiler|the two are trapped in Gluttony's stomach}}).

* ''[[Samurai Champloo]]''. Jin and Mugen have [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|completely opposite personalities]] and [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You|ultimately plan to fight to the death]] but are best friends.
