This Is My Side: Difference between revisions

* Suiseiseki in ''[[Rozen Maiden]]'', who initially dislikes Jun, draws an obviously biased one in his room.

* ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'': While there was no actual line drawn, Asuka tells Shinji that the door between two rooms is "the impenetrable wall of Jericho, Third Child. Take one step over this line and you'll be a dead man." Given that in the story from the Bible, [[Analogy Backfire|the wall of Jericho fell at the sound of a trumpet]], many fans perceived this as a [[Freudian Slip]].

'''Asuka:''' "Fine! An even bigger wall! The Great Wall!"

'''Rei:''' "That too, is broken."

'''Rei:''' ''(nods)'' }}

 

** An earlier episode uses a more sinister variation of the trope. Two visitors from out of town come across South Park, but find it devoid of adults {{spoiler|because the kids had the vast majority falsely arrested for "molestering" them and the remaining adults moved away for fear of being arrested}}. Run by kids, the town has fractured into two units; the area now known as Treasure Cove is apparently led by Stan and occupies the poor side of town, whereas Cartman has seized control of the wealthy side of town and renamed it Smiley Town. Aside from the fact Cartman as dictator is scary enough (add to that the fact only one phone has survived in the entirety of South Park, effectively cutting off communication with the outside world), both sides have an agreement where they essentially play [[Capture the Flag]] with a book from the opposing side- whichever side doesn't have a book by [[Race Against the Clock|8:00pm]] must sacrifice one of its number to "The Provider" (in reality, the town's statue of John Elway with a faulty electrical cord nearby rendering it a [[Death Trap]]). It's only through the outsiders' interference that the kids are prevented from killing everyone in town and the adults are allowed to return.

* In ''Tigger and Pooh and a Musical Too'', a movie from ''[[Winnie the Pooh|My Friends Tigger & Pooh]]'', Tigger and Rabbit did this with ''the entire Hundred Acre Wood'', drawing up a big white line across the entire Wood and declaring themselves mayors of their respective sides.

* ''[[The Penguins of Madagascar]]'', "All King, No Kingdom": King Julien divides the lemur habitat in half, one side for Maurice and Mort, the other for himself. Naturally, Julien's "half" occupies most of the habitat. Maurice and Mort then throw a party and invite all the animals in the zoo, except for Julien, who starts going crazy with loneliness.

* On ''[[Jimmy Two-Shoes]]'', when Lucius and Jimmy are trapped on a [[Far Side Island]], Lucius does this, trapping Jimmy on a very small "half". Being [[The Pollyanna|Jimmy]], he's flattered that Lucius gives him half.
