Line 40:
** Most recently we have {{spoiler|Shiryu of the Rain}}, who makes a good counterpart for Zoro. He is also a swordsman and, much like Zoro in his role as [[Number Two]], is the one who calls out Blackbeard after his recklessness nearly gets the rest of the crew killed. Blackbeard and {{spoiler|Shiryu}} even met in a similar fashion, as the latter was on death row until Blackbeard came along.
** In this case, it's still a little early to tell who's a counterpart of who. {{spoiler|Especially now that the Blackbeard Pirates have doubled in size. One could easily argue that San Juan Wolf, the "Colossal Battleship", is the counterpart to ''the Thousand Sunny''.}}
** Any antagonist with a [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] has shades of this, such as the Arlong Pirates or the [[CP 9]]. In the former example, we have [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy]] Kuroobi vs [[Dance Battler]] Sanji, 6-swords user Hatchan against 3-swords Zoro, and Chew against Usopp, with [[Big Brother Figure|Luffy]] and [[A Father to His Men|Arlong]] going at it in the end. For the latter, there's unashamed [[Large Ham]] Franky vs [[I Wont Tell You What Im Telling You|gossip-loving Fukuro the silent]], figurative wolf Sanji vs literal wolf Jyabura, [[Cute Bruiser|Chopper]] vs [[Gonk|Kumadori]], the [[Fan Service]]-laden battle between Nami and Kalifa, [[Lovable Coward]] Usopp sniping [[Dirty Coward]] Spandam, [[Rated
* ''[[Naruto]]'' sets up a fairly traditional Psycho Ranger arrangement for the genin squad trying to rescue Sasuke:
** [[Gentle Giant]] Chouji against [[The Brute]] Jiroubou. "Who are * you* calling fat?!" ensues.
