Three Amigos: Difference between revisions

Line 9:

The two sidekicks will usually be opposites in other ways, too -- one will be a [[The Smart Guy|straight-A student]], one will be [[The Big Guy|a jock]]; or one will be rich, one will be poor; or one will be black, one will be white (or Asian). To that end, they may double as a [[Power Trio]].

Romance ''will'' be explored. A [[Last-Minute Hookup]] could almost always be expected between The Hero and a sidekick, until [[JK Rowling]] popularized the sidekick romance (although Lucas did it first with [[Star Wars|Han and Leia]]). One should hope that it won't turn into a [[Love Triangle]].

The two sidekicks are almost always the [[Secret Keeper|Secret Keepers]] in a [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save ~~The~~ World]] setting. This is an attractive setup for many writers, because it gives the main character a person of each gender to interact with easily.

The two sidekicks are almost always the [[Secret Keeper|Secret Keepers]] in a [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World]] setting. This is an attractive setup for many writers, because it gives the main character a person of each gender to interact with easily.

Most prevalent within American shows directed at children and tweens, where writers conspicuously try to keep their cast as limited as possible. [[Anime]] tends to add a fourth member, closer to one of the sidekicks than The Hero. They might also get a team expansion later, but the trio will always be front and centre and be treated like the "real" heroes.

Quite often the [[With a Friend ~~And~~ A Stranger]] dynamic will be present.

[[Terrible Trio]] is the villainous equivalent: The leader will be more bossy, and the sidekicks dumber and interchangeable.

Line 27:

* ''[[~~Bobobo-bo~~ ~~Bo-bobo~~]]'': Bo-bobo, Don Patch, and Tokoro Tennosuke (Jelly Jiggler in the dub) are known as the Hajike Trio.

* ''[[Bobobobo Bobobo]]'': Bo-bobo, Don Patch, and Tokoro Tennosuke (Jelly Jiggler in the dub) are known as the Hajike Trio.

* ''[[~~Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|~~Cardcaptor Sakura]]'': Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran + Mei-ling, Syaoran's [[Clingy Jealous Girl]].

* ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura]]'': Sakura, Tomoyo, and Syaoran + Mei-ling, Syaoran's [[Clingy Jealous Girl]].

** Even moreso in the manga, since Mei-ling is Anime-only.

* ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'': Mugen, Jin, and Fuu.

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]'': Yugi, Anzu/Tea, and Jyonouchi/Joey + Honda/Tristan, Jyonouchi's other best friend.

** ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'': Judai, Asuka, and Sho + Hayato/ Kenzan, Judai's and Sho's other roommate.

* ''[[Pokémon]]'': Ash, Brock/Tracey/Cilan, and Misty/May + Max/Dawn/Iris.

** Like the games, [[Pokémon Special|the main manga]] does this by the end of each region.

Line 46:

* ''[[Eyeshield 21]]'': Sena, Monta, and Suzuna. The hero, his best friend, and his love interest, with the latter two serving as secret keepers for part of the series.

* ''[[Amatsuki]]'': Toki, Kon and Kuchiha.

* ''[[Amagami]]'': Miya, Sae, and Ai

Line 54:

* ''[[Ranma One Half]]'': Ranma (Hero); Ryoga (Best friend/Rival); Akane (love interest of both). Also, Akane loves Ranma but fights with him constantly; she is ''not'' in love with Ryoga and only sees him as her best male friend, and never fights with him. Ryoga loves Akane and Ryoga (until he moves on) and Ranma border on [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]. And that is the ''[[Love Dodecahedron|simplest, least psychotic]]'' romantic situation in all of the Ranmaverse.

** Both Ryoga and Akane are heavily implied to be Ranma's best friends, completing the essence of this trope even more. It kind of makes sense seeing as how they're the ones he talks to the most about his problems or thoughts. At least it explains why fans ship [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|Ranma]] with [[Foe Yay|Ryoga]] and [[Belligerent Sexual Tension|Akane]] so much.

* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni]]'': Keiichi, Rena, and Mion are looked at as a trio. Satoko, Rika and Hanyuu may count as well.

Line 63:

Or Tamaki, Haruhi, and the twins... there are quite a few combinations, but the twins are closest to Tamaki and Haruhi (another reason why they tease and harass them, as opposed to the other club members).

* Almost every video gaming webcomic ''ever'' seems to revolve around [[Two Gamers On a Couch|two male gamers]] and [[Gamer Chick|one female]], who is usually the girlfriend of whichever male lead is the hero. The typical character dynamic seems to be 'wacky' (read: obnoxious [[Jerkass]]) guy [[[The Hero]]], straight man [second guy] and girlfriend [the woman]. Oddly, the dean of video game webcomics, ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]'', is actually the exception (no girlfriend), so ''[[Ctrl Alt Del ~~(Webcomic)~~|Ctrl Alt Del]]'' is probably the [[Trope Maker]] here.
