- Downplayed: James and Sean sometimes argue.
- Justified: James and Sean have difficulty expressing affection.
- James and Sean are pretty much forced to be rivals because of competitive ideals, such as different sports teams or some clan or guild that are constantly non-violent rivals, that they hold, but they both know each other to be good people.
- Inverted: James and Sean are mortal enemies, but they act friendly towards each other.
- Subverted: It turns out that they were acting.
- Double Subverted: They really have duels to the death.
