Line 29:

* In the world of ''[[Freezing]]'', the world is being invaded by [[Eldritch Abomination|Eldritch Abominations]], and yet most of mankind's hopes are more interested in rankings and beating the crap out of each other. Well, that's what you get when the fate of the world is in the hand of temperamental teenage girls.

* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', there are several important factions. One, Negi's group. Two, Cosmo Entelechia. Three, Megalomesembria politicians led by Kurt Godel. Mahora academy seems to be involved to some extent. The goal: {{spoiler|save everyone possible when the magic world collapses}}. Negi and Fate are [[Arch Enemy|archenemies]], Negi thinks Kurt is too practical (and Kurt thinks Negi is foolishly idealistic) and Fate's group just wiped out most of the military as part of their plan to "help". And it's not clear what Mahora is doing, but they definitely disapprove of Fate's destruction of the gates. It's getting to the point that Negi and Fate are only fighting about {{spoiler|who can do a better job of saving the world}}.

* Early episodes of ''[[Transformers Headmasters]]'' had elements of this trope between the [[Cool Train|Trainbots]] and [[~~Spot Light~~ Stealing Squad|Headmasters]], until they had to team up to save Japan from [[Ninja|Sixshot]].

* All of the military factions (Mustang, Grumman and General Armstrong at least) in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' agree that King Bradley needs to be 'dethroned' and seem to understand that part of each other- yet when it all comes down to it the cooperation starts to disintegrate into 'who-will-get-the-big-seat-afterward' plotting rather than standing as a more united front.

* In ''[[Vandread]]'', the various factions/groups that the crew of the Nirvana come to assist them in the final episodes of Season 2, when the [[Big Bad]]'s fleet shows up. Prior to this, they were either being harvested by the [[Big Bad]], or were at odds with each other.

Line 69:

* In ''[[Harry Potter]]'', years of [[Fantastic Racism]] have caused various magical creatures to be suspicious of wizards and avoid them at all costs (at the same time, wizards are equally suspicious or determined to avoid said magical creatures). Almost all of them are threatened by Voldemort, but aren't really willing to work together {{spoiler|until they see that Harry "died" at the end of ''Deathly Hallows'', at which point virtually every living being against Voldemort takes up arms to fight against the Death Eaters. All are later seen gathered peacefully in the Great Hall together.}}

* To some extent, the Last International in ''[[The Star Fraction]]'', which seems to be mainly an umbrella label for all the forces fighting USUN. "...the ultimate conspiracy-- nothing BUT front organizations. The fronts are real, the conspiracy isn't."

* The forces of good in the original ''[[Dragonlance]] Chronicles'' trilogy are hampered in their opposition to the Dragonarmies because their leaders are bickering over political matters that are petty by comparison. It takes drastic action, including Tasslehoff's destruction of the [[MacGuffin]] the leaders were fighting over and a [[The Reason You Suck Speech]] from the leader of the gods of good to get them to smarten up and unite.

** This trope is later inverted after the Dark Queen's defeat, as her subordinates' fear of her kept them in line. Without her uniting presence, the Highlords begin fighting among themselves for control of the Dragonarmies, and become splintered into five mutually hostile factions.

* The situation that prevailed on Barrayar at the beginning of the ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]'':
