Think about your closest friends. If you know them well enough, you also know their strengths and weaknesses. You know how they think, how they react, how they tick. You trust them to know the same about you, too. You might even trust them enough to let them fix your car — but not drive it. Hell would freeze over before you let them drive it. In action oriented stories, two characters who are friends will work with each other during combat. Often this will present the image of Back-to-Back Badasses. If one person is big and the other short, the big guy will use brute strength and the short guy will use finesse. Maybe the big guy will clasp hands with the short guy and fling him around as though he was a weapon. Or the big guy will use the short guy as a projectile. No matter what, they will fight in tandem. They will watch each other's back. There is something genuinely satisfying about watching the heroes take out a room full of bad guys by working together. Characters who tend to do this are The Hero and The Lancer because they are foils to each other and so their fighting style complements the other. Even a mismatched Action Duo can be Bash Brothers with enough bonding/training. It is not uncommon in certain stories to have two separate badasses who come together, spend some time trying to kill each other only to eventually turn their skills onto the hapless enemy who happens to piss them both off. If the "brothers" are actually related by blood, it's a Sibling Team. Unrelated Brothers is when two unrelated characters claim to be this trope. A combative inversion is Fearful Symmetry. In a fantasy setting, they might be a Sword and Sorcerer. Not to be confused with the Smash Brothers who are, well, Super. The romantic version is the Battle Couple. Compare Tag Team, Red Oni, Blue Oni, Moveset Clone, Heterosexual Life-Partners, Sword and Sorcerer, Student–Master Team, and Badass Minds Think Alike. The name comes from the world of sports, where it refers to a pair of great players who end up on the same team. The first use of the term was in Baseball, where Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire formed a dangerous duo for the late-1980s-early-1990s Oakland Athletics on account of their incredible (and, as it turned out, steroid-fueled) power hitting (they would bash their forearms against each other whenever one of them made a great play, hence the name). It has since spread to other players and sports. And yes, this trope happens with female fighting duos as well, in which case we refer to them as Lovely Angels. Examples |

Duel of the Ironfist stars Lung as Tang Ren-jie, the son of a murdered triad boss, and Chiang as The Rambler, a Professional Killer working for Ren-jie's father. They both end up inseparable when they survived a massive slaughterfest in a restaurant that sees them killing mooks side-by-side, which makes The Reveal that The Rambler is actually the murderer of Ren-jie's father even more surprising - the two still end up being buddies when they take on a common enemy, in-between fighting each other. | |

Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten actually integrates this into gameplay with Valvatorez and Fenrich. Apart from starting with a very high likelihood of initiating team attacks with each other, all three of Fenrich's passive abilities are based on Valvatorez's status or positioning (ie. getting a 30% stat boost for standing next to him). | |

Though this is noted to be rare in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, with most girls operating alone, this just makes the rare duos all the more dangerous. Mami and Kyouko were once this, but broke up after Kyouko's family died, and Mami's desire to find a new partner drives much of her motivation. By the time of Rebellion, Kyouko and Sayaka have become a fairly close pair, often employing Combination Attacks and apparently living in the same house. In Oriko Magica, Oriko and Kirika do this whenever Oriko isn't grounded by Power Incontinence. Fanon typically upgrades all of them into full-on Battle Couples. | |

Superman and Captain Marvel. Their initial efforts to take out the more experienced and ruthless Black Adam separately doesn't work well for the pair. However, once they start working together, they eventually find their rhythm and proceed to lay down a beautiful beat down on him. It was a pleasant contrast to other animated showings of the characters where the two heroes end up fighting each other. | |

Ranma ½ has a antagonistic version of this as a Villain of the Week arc. Azusa Shiratori and Mikado Sanzenine are masters of Martial Arts Figure Skating, a team known as the Golden Pair for their combined skill and excellent teamwork. Outside of combat, however, the two don't get on too well, as Mikado finds Azusa's kleptomania and ditzy antics annoying, while Azusa has the personality of a Spoiled Brat and is quite willing to beat on Mikado if he interferes with her antics (giving back something she stole from a pretty girl, or chasing girls when he should be practicing). In fact, that in the anime version of the Figure Skating match she's ultimately the one who beats Mikado, causing them to lose. Perhaps to highlight their Belligerent Sexual Tension, Ranma and Akane keep swinging between playing this straight and averting it. While they played it perfectly straight in the Martial Arts Figure Skating story, most if not all of their subsequent 'team battles' had them getting in each other's way and forgetting to pay attention to their enemies to squabble with each other (often over the fact Akane is Overshadowed by Awesome compared to Ranma and Can't Catch Up, yet refuses to admit this)... though, inevitably, they would pull together (if only after having been beaten once) and manage to pull off a victory, though their opponent would frequently come close to victory by taking advantage of their bickering. |

In the X-Men, Colossus and Wolverine have the "Fastball Special" (sometimes called for with "Hey bub... two words"), which basically involves Colossus throwing Wolverine at an opponent. Other characters inside and outside of Marvel have occasionally borrowed the move. Basically any combo of a character with Super-Strength and one with an Absurdly Sharp Blade or six can do this. In the extremely rare occasions that they're seeing eye to eye, Cyclops and Wolverine can do this quite well, though they end up as Red Oni, Blue Oni much more often. | |

Bleach: While they're not as close friends as others, one episode had Chad and Uryu facing off against two foes. Originally, they were getting beat up hard. That is, until Uryu opted to switch opponents with Chad, seeing Chad's slow but strong style better on Uryu's opponent, and Uryu weak but fast style on Chad's. Before the advent of Rukia and The Call Knows Where You Live and Ichigo turning into this unstoppable level-grinding machine, Ichigo and Chad also went bully hunting like this. They agreed years ago that if it wasn't okay to get in fights on their own behalves (and being redheaded and half-Mexican, respectively, they're major targets) they would always fight to protect each other. It's very sweet. Chad has spent the last two hundred chapters trying to be strong enough to keep this promise again. No dice. As the Thousand Year Blood War advanced, Ichigo and Renji Abarai kinda fell into this trope. The biggest example is towards the end, when Renji explicitly promises to back Ichigo up as thanks for helping him rekindle his bond with Rukia, and immediately keeps his promise as they join a very complicated final fight that includes Yhwach and Aizen. |

Sora and Riku in Kingdom Hearts II. Also most of the main Final Fantasy gang, both during the Coliseum tournaments and the battle of Hollow Bastion. Cloud and Leon get special mention in a Back-to-Back Badasses moment. Donald Duck and Goofy. They had been partners years before they even met Sora, and they still have use of their bond, now that creatures of pure evil, led by a bunch of maniacs, are attacking. |

Batman: Arkham Knight made this a gameplay element. Build up enough of a hit streak during a fight where an ally is also in the melee, trigger a character switch, and the two characters will perform a ridiculously cool cooperative maneuver to take out one of the opponents before control switches to the second character. | |

Fulton Reed and Dean Portman in D2: The Mighty Ducks were explicitly called "the Bash Brothers" by Tibbles the Hendrix hockey equipment rep (of course a marketing guy would come up with it) as the two go have fun body-checking pretty much every opposing skater effortlessly one by one on the ice. Reed also has a big, booming slap shot that can knock goalies back; Portman sticks to the rough stuff. | |

Raphael from the 2003 cartoon is very dedicated to this trope. While all the Turtles cooperate in battle, he stands out as an especially reliable back-watcher. In nearly every fight, Raph will prevent an enemy from nailing one of his brothers from behind. Lampshaded by Donatello in one occasion: | |

Justice League would seclude a handful of characters together so they could take on bigger threats. The most common was Green Lantern and The Flash, though Superman and Wonder Woman would occasionally get in. | |

In Grand Theft Auto V, Michael and Trevor may spend much of the storyline at each other's throats, but they're old friends, and they're a force to be reckoned with when they cooperate. The same goes for Franklin and his childhood buddy Lamar (Franklin does have to bail Lamar out of trouble more than once, but the latter's still no pushover). And when you put all four of them together, like in Ending C, well... | |

Naruto: Subverted. It looked like Naruto and Sasuke are building into this, but then Sasuke pulled a Face–Heel Turn. They revisit Naruto and Sasuke becoming this again in the battle with Obito and this time they succeed. Revisited and taken further in the final battle of Boruto: Naruto the Movie. Made even more awesome by the fact they mostly use physical attacks, and despite Sasuke lacking his left arm, he never slows down. In Shippuden, Naruto has developed into this with Killer B, who is also this with A / the Raikage. It turns out they're not actually related — A adopted Bee because he was badass enough for their combat styles to mesh. Ino-Shikamaru-Chouji is a better fit. They've been best friends for so long (since before they became ninjas), Chouji is able to pick up Shikamaru's strategies and prepare well before anyone else, Shikamaru knows just how to set up Ino's powers, and likewise Ino knows how to cover Chouji's weak points. By the time of the 4th Ninja World War, the trio's practically invincible. Special mention to Gaara and Rock Lee who invoke Bash Brothers in their team-up against Bad with the Bone Kimimaro, made even cooler by the fact that, three arcs earlier, they almost killed each other during the ChÅ«nin Exams. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio even extends into their family. It's actually a tradition for three of the current generation to be put into a team together with a Sarutobi as their sensei. And Kinkaku and Ginkaku. The two dead shinobi who survived being eaten by the Kyuubi for two weeks! |

In Fullmetal Alchemist, Alex Luis Armstrong and Sig Curtis (who befriended each other through Pec Flex) work together to curb stomp Sloth. This is after Alex and his older sister Olivier got through a very long period of wearing him down; Sig only came in at the end, and the Armstrong team was pretty damn impressive in its own right. Ed and Al obviously do this, too. They have a lot of practice fighting together. When Ed and Ling or Ed and Greeling are working together, they generally produce shades of this even when not actively engaged in combat. With lots of bickering. |

Drizzt Do'Urden and Artemis Entreri can operate like this, much to their mutual displeasure. They're both highly skilled dual-wielders who independently developed extremely similar fighting styles...And it took them about five minutes of conversation for each to recognize the other as what he could have been. Both don't like what they see in the other person, especially when compared to what they see as their strong points. However, if they must cooperate, they slaughter entire groups of who they're against. Often fighting back-to-back and continually moving, and with one setting up an opening for the other to exploit a second later, and it's mentioned that they move so much in sync that it's tough to tell who's who or who's doing what. As can Artemis and Jarlaxle Baenre, although their fighting styles are slightly more different, with Jarlaxle's style also incorporating throwing knives, misdirection, and a Hyperspace Arsenal of magic items and wands. Additionally, Entreri is on the other side of their Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, having gone through some Character Development and seeing Jarlaxle as what he used to be, (albeit a more charismatic and witty version) and Jarlaxle, being a bon vivant and trickster to the extreme, sees Entreri as an opportunity to have a roaring good time. |

Dragon Ball: Gohan and Krillin are the best of friends and, particularly during the Saiyan and Namek arcs, a great example of bash brothers (though, ironically, Krillin is close friends with Gohan's father and is more of an extended uncle to Gohan). After the seven year time skip, the next generation of warriors Goten and Trunks are the newest set of bash brothers to the show. Goku and Piccolo became this in an Enemy Mine situation against both Garlic Jr. and later against Raditz. Burter and Jeice are the only members of the Ginyu Force who fight together rather than one-on-one, and have at least one Combination Attack. Unfortunately for them, their only on-screen fight is against Goku, who's way out of their league. Goku and Vegeta play with this, but mostly in the movies (e.g Return of Cooler, Fusion Reborn and Broly) and especially the Universe Survival saga. It's a running theme that they're so hyper-competitive that their "teamwork" usually amounts to swapping in and out tag-team style, rather than fighting someone two-on-one (no matter the stakes). However, they finally use proper teamwork when they fight Gas in their respective Ultra Instinct and Ultra Ego forms. Frieza and Cell wound up forming one of these after their defeats, training together and teaming up on Goku when he gets trapped in Hell in GT (not that it helps them at all). Gohan and Piccolo spend a good chunk of the Tournament of Power as this. While Goku and Vegeta mostly do their own thing and only team up if they run into each other, Gohan and Piccolo make an effort to stick together and prove to be a very effective team. Caulifla and Kale are the female Saiyans of Universe 6 that, unlike Goku and Vegeta, don't allow their differences in personalities to inter with cover each other's back. This equal partnership even culminates in using the Potara earrings to become a literal single fighting force. |

Attack on Titan: Titan duos have this dynamic sometimes. Reiner Braun, the Armored Titan and Zeke Yeager, the Beast Titan demonstrate this dynamic at the battle of Fort Slava, with the Armored providing brute force close-range attacks and protection while the Beast focuses on ranged attacks. After the Time Skip Eren, the Attack Titan and Armin, the Colossal Titan. Over the course of three years, they evidently destroyed 32 ships sent by the Marleyans to spy on the Eldians. And according to Zeke, some of those ships were war ships. |

Harry Dresden and Karrin Murphy become this, because Harry is a magic nerd who really has no idea at all about women. It's lampshaded as pretty sad several times throughout the series. The Alphas: they're a pack of wolves with human-level intelligence. Be. Afraid. Harry and Thomas Raith become this. Like the Eragon example, it shouldn't be that much of a surprise that they're half-brothers. Thomas and Lara Raith in full vamped-out mode cut through an army of super-ghouls like chaff. Harry describes them as matched parts of a force of nature, their stand all the more beautiful and awe-inspiring for being totally hopeless. |

Malroth acts this way with the Builder in Dragon Quest Builders 2. If the player isn't inside the boundaries of a town, Malroth will always be by their side, assisting in both resource gathering and combat (complete with the ability to perform a Co-op de Grace being unlocked part way though Chapter 2). When Malroth is removed from the player's side (first due to being imprisoned on suspision of being a spy, and then for feeling betrayed over the fact that the builder did nothing to stop said imprisoning), multiple NPCs will comment about how their near-perpetual smile seems to have faded. | |

World of Warcraft has a few of these as bosses, forcing the players to defeat two enemies working together, effectively turning them into one meta-boss encounter. The Eredar Twins in Sunwell Plateau and more memorably the Twin Emperors of Ahn'Qiraj are boss encounters with two powerful enemies, the battle commonly known as the Bug Trio of Ahn'Qiraj, as the name implies, pits three enemies against the players, the final battle of the Death Knight wing of Naxxramas is against the Four Horsemen-Sir Zeliek, Thane Korthazz, Lady Blameux, and Baron Rivendare (who replaced Highlord Mograine), and from the Crimson Halls of Icecrown Citadel, the Blood Prince Council (super upgraded and revived versions of Blood-Princes Valanar, Taldaram, and Keleseth). Cataclysm's Blackwing Descent raid instance has you fighting the reanimated Nefarian after he also brings his sister Onyxia back to life. Just to drive the point home, they attack twice as fast by just being in close proximity to eachother. 2v2 Arena matches pit two pairs of Bash Brothers against each other. |

Any co-op game gives players the option for this, from Resident Evil to Kirby. Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is built on doing this in a racing game. Each kart has two racers: a driver and a support. They function as one when one person is playing, but if two players decide to go co-op on one kart, racing ability is expanded with one player driving and both players mashing the control stick to achieve miniturbos. The first player can pass items he gets back to the second player, who focuses on using them and can also punch left and right to move the kart a little in those directions to dodge things, attack other players, and steal items. |

The SWAT Kats live this trope, though only rarely are they actually fighting in the same room at the same time. When they do, T-Bone acts as The Big Guy and goes at baddies with fist swinging, while the slighter Razor relies on a quicker, more acrobatic fighting style. The rest of the time, their approach to a problem will still always depend on their teamwork (whether it's air/ground, or piloting/weapons). If one kat is in serious trouble (or worse, unresponsive), the other will get very distressed and might channel that into a "this is for my buddy!" attack. | |

This is one way that Exalted's Solar-Lunar Bond can manifest. The bond links each Solar Exaltation to a particular Lunar Exaltation and the only certain thing about the bond, should Fate successfully bring the two together, is that it is a strong emotional bond between the two demigod-like Exalted. And a Bash Brothers bromance certainly fits the bill. | |

Black Clover: Asta and Yuno slowly become this over the course of the plot. It's even pointed out how the two seem to motivate each other to become stronger even in the middle of a fight. Luck and Magna challenge Vetto while he's attacking the Seabed Temple. They do surprisingly well, all things considered. Asta, Finral and Vanessa then take over in their place, the latter two working together to support Asta from the rear by helping him attack Vetto from impossible angles. Even after Vetto breaks Asta's arms, this does little to stop him; Finral and Vanessa then pick up the pace until Asta strikes Vetto down. Gauche, Grey and Gordon are forced to work together to defend the base when it comes under attack by the Eye of the Midnight Sun. While they have difficulty at first, eventually they are able to coordinate a working strategy and send their attackers packing. Unfortunately it ends up being a Pyrrhic Victory as Valtos manages to steal the magic stone in Asta's room. Lemiel and Licht prove to be an incredibly effective team during the fight in the Shadow Palace, keeping Zagred on his toes and pressuring him so that he doesn't have the time to use his Word Soul Magic. As Dante slowly gains the advantage over Yami, he calls out for Asta to assist him. The duo proceed to tear through Dante's attacks, with Finral even noting how the two seem to be having fun fighting together. The fight eventually culminates in Yami giving his katana to Asta after Dante deprives him of all his other swords; Asta then uses it to finish off Dante just as his power runs out. Asta and Liebe become a more literal-minded version of this trope, seeing as Asta's mother Licita adopted Liebe. Through Devil Union they become strong enough to fight Supreme Devils. |

300 outlines this in particular when discussing their tactics. The individual Spartan is superior to the individual Persian soldier, but their sheer numbers would overwhelm them in any situation except for the bottleneck position they chose to defend. Even then, only because each Spartan defended the one next to them that they created a near impenetrable line... of course, they don't always follow this rule, often preferring the Rule of Cool and breaking the line for slow-motion individual brawls. Astinos and Stelios are this briefly on the second day. |

A few instances in Mortal Kombat: Liu Kang and Kung Lao can be a bit catty with (and regarding) one another, but are loyal and steadfast allies in practically every timeline. Kenshi and Ermac became this for a short time in the original pre-Netherrealm Studios timeline, as Ermac's various souls had decided to work for good. The Netherrealm Studios timeline made infamous mortal enemies Scorpion and Sub-Zero into these, having them finally reconcile and work together as genuine allies. The modern timeline also has Jax and Johnny Cage as these, despite how much Cage annoys Jax. This also extends to the Special Forces junior team, where Cassie and Jacqui are Smash Sisters to Takeda and Kung Jin's Bash Brothers. |

The "A Dame To Kill For" storyline of Sin City features Dwight McCarthy and Marv as this. Subverted in that Marv does most of (if not all) the fighting. Marv & Nancy get a moment of this in the second film adaptation. Again though, Marv does the majority of the fighting once they break into the Roark mansion, so it's subverted. |

Dynasty Warriors has several: Gan Ning and Ling Tong evolve from mortal enemies into a grudging version of this. Perhaps most notably at the battle of Shi Ting in DW6, where if you kill one half of the pair the other will become enraged and go into hyper mode. Even before that, they were featured in the opening to Xtreme Legends. Guan Xing and Zhang Bao. Yue Jin and Li Dian. Xu Zhu and Dian Wei. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. |

In Dynasty Warriors: Gundam, Yazan Gable and Gym Ghingnham are portrayed this way, as part of a Villainous Friendship. This actually makes some sense, given that the both of them are massive Blood Knights who simply love fighting for its own sake. One random event has the two of them show up as a team in identical Musha Gundams, happily crowing about how awesome these weapons are. | |

From Avatar: The Last Airbender: The series pretty much makes Aang and Sokka to be this, as well as Unrelated Brothers. "The Blue Spirit" had Aang and Zuko. "The Boiling Rock" had Sokka and Zuko. Katara and Zuko in "The Southern Raiders". They are seen training back to back in the finale as well, but don't actually fight together as Azula challenges them to one-on-one duels instead. |

Halo: Halo 3 has the Arbiter fighting next to Master Chief for much of the game in single player, and all of the game in co-op. You can even include a pair of unique, though undeveloped Elite characters online and play four person co-op. This is in contrast to Halo 2 where the game has no in-universe reason why a second Spartan accompanies you on the campaign. Also from Halo, the Hunters always come in pairs. In most of the games, they are identically equipped and colored. Halo 3: ODST changes this: Hunters can either come in the standard blue armor and fuel rod cannon that they had in Halo 3 or in gold armor and with an explosive fuel rod gun like all Hunters had in Halo: Combat Evolved. |

The A-Team. Very much so. Hannibal knows the strengths and weaknesses of each of the other three team members, and knows exactly how to best use their strengths and minimize their weaknesses. Different as they may be, when they all fight together, it's a bad day for slimeballs everywhere. Face and Murdock especially seem to be this. They have a very effective tag-team fighting style. Doubly so for Murdock and B.A. They usually drive each other nuts, but together they are a force of nature. |

Batman: Batman and Robin do this quite often. It was especially common in the live-action Batman series. Much less frequently, you get really astounding sequences with large chunks of the "Bat Family" (Batman, Batgirl, Robin, Nightwing, Red Robin and a few more minor ones) fighting side by side. Public Enemies (2004) shows that Superman and Batman are so accustomed to fight together that they do not even need to talk to each other while designing joint battle strategies on the fly. Like fathers, like sons: Super Sons shows that Damian and Jon actually make just as good a team as their fathers... when they can stop arguing for more than five minutes. Examined in the World's Finest maxiseries; the first time they meet with the explicit purpose of working together, they're at a function as Bruce and Clark when the guest of honor, a world-famous plastic surgeon is kidnapped. They split up and both go after the kidnapper, which so spooks the hostage that he runs out into the street and gets himself killed. When they compare notes they both observe that this happened because they didn't work together. The rest of the series is about their annual meetings to honor their failure and learn to work together until they're working as a well-oiled machine. Some of their guilt is mitigated when they learn at the end of the maxiseries that said hostage was actually the surgeon's body double who had kidnapped and replaced the real man after giving him amnesia in an attempt to steal his fortune. The real reason he was so spooked was because he was afraid that Batman and Superman would expose his scheme. When Amalak launches a coordinated attack against Superman and his family in The Third Kryptonian, Batman heads towards the Fortress of Solitude right away, knowing instinctively what Superman expects him and wants him to do. |

Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 2 featured this as a mechanic; on the story mode world map, letting two characters with a pre-existing relationship occupy the same space would give one or both of them a stat boost in combat, implying they were looking out for each other. The upcoming Battle of Z will do this by having simultaneous four-player cooperative battles. The game trailer even suggests making teams out of Goku's whole family, or just of a single character's many forms. |

In Gintama, this happens mostly during the serious episodes. Usually, Kagura and Shinpachi team up in the serious story arcs to deal with Mooks and the occasional Elite Mook. The Benizakura Arc has Gintoki and Zura Katsura in a Back-to-Back Badasses moment, fighting against space pirates hired by Takasugi and then declaring war on Takasugi with the exact same words and in the exact same manner. The Rakuyou Decisive Battle Arc ups the ante by having all of the Joui Four fight together for the first time in a decade. Both the Naraku and the Harusame stand no chance. |

In any Kamen Rider series, expect the main Rider and the secondary Rider to eventually become this. More prominent in the Heisei shows, where it's pretty much the norm for any given show to have at least two Riders of its own, but the Showa era had a few of its own like the Double Riders when they were onscreen together, and V3 and Riderman when the latter figured out he should be fighting all of Destron and not just the one guy he had a grudge against. A villainous version turned up in Kamen Rider Ex-Aid with Bugster duo Graphite and Parado. Later in the series, Parado has this dynamic with Emu. Invoked in Kamen Rider Revice. One of the show's gimmicks is that the Transformation Trinket is designed to transform both Ikki and his inner demon Vice into Kamen Riders so they can fight enemies together as a team. |

Mario and Luigi do this for pretty much every Bros. move in the Mario & Luigi RPGs. And when you start doing the Advanced moves... AND in Super Mario RPG, Bowser and Mario can do this with some of the Koopa King's weapons being various gloves used to throw Mario himself. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Popple and Bowser (as "Rookie") do this with new team attacks during their second battle with the Mario Bros. One of the attacks even involves Bowser throwing Popple. |

Transformers: Prime: The villains Knock Out and Breakdown, whose introductory episode had them nearly take down the entire team, including Optimus, by themselves. They are extremely close friends outside of battle too, contrasting the fractured and "out for themselves" Decepticon forces. The main reason the Autobots are able to match the Decepticons despite being at a disadvantage both in firepower and numbered forces is because they have bonded closely as a team. Each of them can pair off with the other in combat. The third season episode "Evolution" not only features an epic Bash Brothers with previously at-odds characters Wheeljack and Ultra Magnus, Optimus asserts that their bond as a family is what makes them more dangerous than an entire army. Optimus and Megatron always become this whenever they are both thrust into an Enemy Mine situation against a greater foe. |

Final Fantasy IX: You get four neatly-labelled ones, with the four-way split of your team of eight, being Zidane and Quina, Garnet and Eiko ( true sibling summoners), Freya and Amarant and Steiner and Vivi. Special mention goes to Steiner and Vivi because of their in-game sword magic command combination. Double Bash Brothers moment when Zorn and Thorn decide to mess with Eiko and Mog. There's an implied Bash Brothers relationship between Blank and Zidane, but because Blank isn't one of your main characters, it never appears. One iconic moment sees Steiner and Beatrix protecting Alexandria together by bashing in the heads of many, many Mistodons. |

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is built on doing this in a racing game. Each kart has two racers: a driver and a support. They function as one when one person is playing, but if two players decide to go co-op on one kart, racing ability is expanded with one player driving and both players mashing the control stick to achieve miniturbos. The first player can pass items he gets back to the second player, who focuses on using them and can also punch left and right to move the kart a little in those directions to dodge things, attack other players, and steal items. | |

Encouraged by BattleTech's Dual Cockpit teams, where a duo of Mechwarriors combine their talents to pilot one 'Mech, very similar to the pilot and weapons/radar officer duo in tandem seat jets. Because bonuses are granted for having both pilots in the same 'Mech fighting together, it usually ends up being the case that both pilots will stick together together outside the 'Mech as well. According to the fluff pilots tend to synchronize before long due to sharing activity outside of the 'Mech and neurohelmet patterns inside it. | |

Madness Combat prominently features the B-team duo of Sanford and Deimos. Originally starting as just a pair of featureless grunts, the series shows that they developed a strong sense of coordination that makes them together as lethal as Hank despite having no appreciable special abilities. They also display a friendly, 'bro'-like camaraderie both on the field and off it, with Sanford as the Straight Man and Deimos as the Plucky Comic Relief who cheerfully pesters him. After Demios' unfortunate demise, Sanford buddies up with a MAG-nified Hank to watch the big guy's back. |

This was followed about a decade later by Godzilla vs. Gigan, which provides two examples: Godzilla and former enemy Anguirus on the side of the heroes, and the sinister hook-handed cyborg Gigan alongside King Ghidorah opposing them. Following this film, every entry until the franchise was rebooted in 1984 would feature at least one dynamic duo. | |

In One Piece, Zoro and Sanji are very much this. They may bicker in the midst of battle and occasionally attack each other, but once they work together (as shown in the Davy Jones games), they are near invincible. Zoro and Sanji are so strong together that Chopper and Robin couldn't defeat their Shadows Jigoro and Inuppe in Thriller Bark. Luffy and Ace. Helps they actually are sworn brothers. The entirety of the Straw Hat Pirates are very capable at working together against foes. This aspect was heavily portrayed during the events at Thriller Bark and the Sabaody Archipelago. Law and Luffy become this trope into the latter part of the Dressrosa saga with the fight against Doflamingo. Sanji and Brook are Bash Brothers in Zou, to extent where Kaido's Beast Pirates flee as they're too strong. In a similar vein Luffy and Zoro are Bash Brothers at the start of Wano. |

Godzilla, being the Long Runner of a franchise that it is, has had numerous examples through the years, including: Invasion of Astro-Monster provides the earliest example, with Godzilla and Rodan teaming up to take on the three-headed space dragon King Ghidorah.note The two had previously teamed up with Mothra for the same purpose in the earlier Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, but here Godzilla and Rodan go it alone. This was followed about a decade later by Godzilla vs. Gigan, which provides two examples: Godzilla and former enemy Anguirus on the side of the heroes, and the sinister hook-handed cyborg Gigan alongside King Ghidorah opposing them. Following this film, every entry until the franchise was rebooted in 1984 would feature at least one dynamic duo. Godzilla vs. Megalon brings Gigan back and pairs him with the god of an ancient subterranean race- and fellow industrial tool-wielder (drills in this case)- Megalon. Luckily for Godzilla, this time around he has backup in the form of cybernetic Sizeshifter superhero Jet Jaguar. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla moves back to a solo villain, but for good reason; in order to stand a chance against his walking weapons platform of a doppelganger the Monster King has to seek help from the ancient Okinawan deity King Caesar.note or Shisa, or Seesar, or Caeser, etc... Terror Of Mecha Godzilla, in the last example from the Showa era, flips its prequel's status quo by having Godzilla stand alone against the deadly duo of Mechagodzilla and his mind-controlled prehistoric ally Titanosaurus. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II in 1993 reintroduces the trope to the Heisei series, bringing old frenemy Rodan back for the '90s. After an initial dust-up, the two band together to take down a new incarnation of Mechagodzilla and rescue Godzilla's hatchling son from conniving humans. Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla followed it the next year, putting Little Godzilla in mortal danger yet again and forcing his dad into a begrudging team-up with Transforming Mecha M.O.G.U.E.R.A. There wouldn't be another major team-up until 2004's Godzilla: Final Wars, which saw perennial Co-Dragon Gigan in yet another team-up, this time with the mysterious and evil Monster X. Godzilla vs. Kong has Godzilla and Kong teaming up after their big fight to destroy their common enemy: Mechagodzilla, who is essentially Ghidorah reborn. |

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. In the 2007 TMNT movie, Splinter even said that when they work together and are in the right rhythm, they are unbeatable. Raphael from the 2003 cartoon is very dedicated to this trope. While all the Turtles cooperate in battle, he stands out as an especially reliable back-watcher. In nearly every fight, Raph will prevent an enemy from nailing one of his brothers from behind. Lampshaded by Donatello in one occasion: Turtles Forever takes this to the apex with the '03 Turtles eventually fighting in tandem with the '87 Turtles, and the '03 style of straight ninja fighting is contrasted with the '87 slapstick style, with both being equally efficient. |

Jujutsu Kaisen: Yuji teams up with his friends often when facing a sufficiently dangerous threat. He pushes Mahito into a corner with Nanami's help, forcing Mahito to rely on Domain Expansion to turn things around. After fighting Todo and getting a few pointers on how to be a more effective fighter, they both team up against Hanami after Yuji successfully uses Black Flash. When Nobara is ambushed by the Death Paintings, Yuji goes to her rescue, after which the two slowly overpower the curses by using their unique advantages against them. Yuji and Megumi fight together against Awasaka, a curse user affiliated with Kenjaku, in order to destroy the barrier he's protecting. Once Megumi figures out how Awasaka's cursed technique works, the duo makes quick work of him. |

Warhammer 40,000 has a few unit combinations that compliment each others' skills very effectively. Scout Bikers and Terminators in a Space Marine army, for instance; the Scouts have teleport homers that patch up the Terminators' lack of mobility by dropping them on the enemy on a spot that moves very quickly, the Terminators make up for the Scouts' lack of durability and close combat prowess, everyone wins. Except for the poor Tau on the other side of the field that just got a new orifice to defecate through. | |

Transformers: Animated: Prowl and Captain Fanzone team up when they go to Dinobot Island and have to fight off a slew of mutated creatures. The episode first shows how Fanzone's willing to work with the Autobots despite disliking them for being machines. Fighting alongside Prowl is probably why Fanzone starts actually liking the Autobots, or at least tolerating them. In a later episode he even sides with them against Powell. The big guy-little guy team of Bulkhead and Bumblebee. They've been close friends ever since attending Autobot Boot Camp together, and are usually seen watching each others' backs on and off the battlefield. The two have even developed their own variation on the Fastball Special utilizing Bulkhead's wrecking ball hands and Bumblebee's smaller stature. |

The films The Barbarians and Double Trouble starring the bodybuilder twins Peter and David Paul have their characters constantly bickering with each other and kicking equal amount of ass in fight scenes. This is taken even further in Twin Sitters, where their characters call backup from two other duos of twin bash brothers to save two kids from the bad guys. | |

Unsounded: Emil and Elka fight their way through all sorts of horrific situations, and even though they don't always win they do keep surviving things no one would be expected to. As a matter of fact they've been declared dead back at the capital. Flashbacks prove Duane and Lemuel were just about unstoppable together on the battlefield. |

Warhammer has several 'dual' legends, consisting of two named and unique characters that canonically fit together. While Vlad and Isabella are more of a Battle Couple, the others mostly fit under this. The most famous are of course Gotrek and Felix, but there's also Kroq-Gar and Grymloq, Karl Franz and Deathclaw, Eltharion and Stormwing, and Louen and Bequis. | |

We only get to see it in brief flashbacks, but My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has Princesses Celestia and Luna taking down Discord and King Sombra. There was also Tirek, but they may have acted more as commanding officers rather than taking action personally in that case for all we know. In the Crystal War timeline from "The Cutie Remark, Part 1", Maud and Pinkie Pie are literally Smash Sisters. |

Yu-Gi-Oh! had two pairs: The Paradox Brothers from the Duelist Kingdom arc and Lumis/Umbra from the Battle City arc. Joey and Yugi are this in their various tag team duels (heck, even their Dark Magician and Flame Swordsman show signs of it); a major problem in the Lumis/Umbra duel is Yugi and Kaiba's inability to pull this trope off. In the anime at least, Yugi and Kaiba eventually play this straight in their confrontations with both Dartz and Zorc. | |

Cross Cases bears several parallels between Harry Dresden and Dean Winchester, and this is one of the most significant ones. Harry and Sam take down demons, ordinary mortal pool sharks, the Hell-demon leading the aforementioned demons, and a warlock as parties to every single fight scene in the story, and also scare off Denarians. Sam even notes how much Harry's wisecracks remind him of Dean. | |

In The Chronicles of Riddick (2004), Riddick and Kyra are a rare opposite-sex version of this, once they stop fighting each other. The Crematoria sequence showcases it nicely. The Crippled Masters Lee Ho has his arms cut off in the very first scene and later on, Tang's legs are rendered useless with acid. After Lee Ho reluctantly teams up with Tang, both men, who are already formidable combatants by themselves, learn to fight together using their remaining limbs. They eventually defeat Lin Chang Cao this way. |

Halo 3 has the Arbiter fighting next to Master Chief for much of the game in single player, and all of the game in co-op. You can even include a pair of unique, though undeveloped Elite characters online and play four person co-op. This is in contrast to Halo 2 where the game has no in-universe reason why a second Spartan accompanies you on the campaign. | |

In The Legend of Korra, Mako and Bolin are actual brothers, and hand out asskicking like a pro team. They've graduated to this status in Books 3 and 4, since they hardly spent time with each other in previous books. Korra and Asami are this too, mostly in Book 3 when Mako and Bolin pair off. Lin and Suyin, once they settle their differences, are almost always fighting together in major battles, such as double-teaming P'Li in Season 3 or helping cripple Kuvira's Humongous Mecha in Season 4. Wei and Wing, who are also actual brothers, are this every time they accompany their mother Suyin. |

Sandokan: Sandokan and Yanez. Completely different in personality, but they'd die before leaving the other in trouble. Bonus points for actually calling each other brothers. The Tigers of Mompracem are this on a larger scale, being pirates from many ethnic groups (mostly Malays and Dayaks) that would normally kill each other on sight (Truth in Television: Malays and Dayaks went out of their way to attack each other, with James Brooke actually using Malay forces to take down the main Dayak pirate band and Dayak forces to destroy the main Malay pirate group). |

In the Inheritance Cycle, Eragon and Murtagh shared the field of battle many times early in the series and developed a bond as strong as brotherhood.

Dragon Quest: Dragon Quest V: The Hero and Prince Harry are captured by The Dragon and forced to work as slaves for ten years until they manage to escape. Afterwards, both youths spend a time adventuring together during the first part of the Hero's journey in adulthood. After they go their separate ways, Harry still shows an interest in tagging along, but is too caught up in his duties to do it. Malroth acts this way with the Builder in Dragon Quest Builders 2. If the player isn't inside the boundaries of a town, Malroth will always be by their side, assisting in both resource gathering and combat (complete with the ability to perform a Co-op de Grace being unlocked part way though Chapter 2). When Malroth is removed from the player's side (first due to being imprisoned on suspision of being a spy, and then for feeling betrayed over the fact that the builder did nothing to stop said imprisoning), multiple NPCs will comment about how their near-perpetual smile seems to have faded. |

Long before Madoka was doing it, Pretty Cure's most iconic teams were all either this trope or Battle Couples depending on who you ask. Black and White in particular occasionally used each other as weapons in the first season; on one occasion two monsters threw them at each other, so the girls locked elbows on impact and torqued their bodies around each other so they both went flying boots-first back the way they came. | |

Ace Attorney: The fight's a bit more metaphorical in Ace Attorney, but Detective Badd refers to his partner Prosecutor Faraday as his "battle-buddy" due to the many legal battles they've fought together. Phoenix and Edgeworth fall under this too; they may usually fight against each other in court, but there are several times when Edgeworth helps Phoenix achieve the proper verdict and its obvious how well they work together, with Phoenix jumping to illogical (but correct) conclusions and Edgeworth helping him back up his claims. Apollo and Klavier are this, starting the first time they encounter each other in court. |

Star Wars Miniatures has some pairs of characters who have Synergy (combat bonuses) or Rapport (cost discounts) when used together. There is also a tournament format called "Dynamic Duo", in which players select only two characters for their squad, who must together cost exactly 100 points. | |

Fire Emblem: Awakening allows the player to make any two characters into Bash Brothers or Smash Sisters with the Pair Up / Dual system. The more often you do it, or they even stand next to each other, the more often they'll either defend each other from enemy attacks preventing all damage, or double team a enemy offensively. Do it often enough between a male and female duo and they'll eventually get married. | |

X-Wing Miniatures often designs characters who are close allies in order to work together well. Jan Ors as a HWK-290 pilot can generate bonus dice for others in exchange for gaining stress, while her long-time partner Kyle Katarn's crew card means that you'll get focus tokens when that stress goes away. The reverse arrangement is also synergistic: Kyle as a pilot lets you give away focus tokens, and Jan as a crew upgrade lets you choose to make them evade tokens instead if you'd prefer. Bounty hunting allies Zuckuss and 4-LOM are designed with similar synergy in mind: pilot Zuckuss lets you get attack dice while crew 4-LOM reduces their ability to modify those dice, and if arranged the other way crew Zuckuss lets you generate stress and pilot 4-LOM lets you give it away again. This continues into The Force Awakens era: with the forthcoming "Heroes of the Resistance" box, Rey's pilot ability lets you reroll blanks that Finn's crew card will give you — as long as you have the enemy in your fire arc, anyway. | |

Conversed by NPCs in Mass Effect: Andromeda. The player character Ryder has an opposite sex twinnote A brother named Scott if a female Ryder, and a sister named Sara if a male Ryder who is also your successor as Pathfinder. Due to events at the beginning of the game involving a Negative Space Wedgie, they are in a coma for the first half of the game and recuperating until they get abducted during the final battle. During the post game, Jaal and Liam discuss how awesome it will be when both Ryders take to the field. | |

Turtles Forever takes this to the apex with the '03 Turtles eventually fighting in tandem with the '87 Turtles, and the '03 style of straight ninja fighting is contrasted with the '87 slapstick style, with both being equally efficient. | |

In Black Hawk Down and Real Life, the two Medal of Honor winning snipers, Randy Shughart and Gary Gordon live, breathe, and die this trope. From their hilarious-slash-tearjerker Chess game, which they never manage to finish, to their exchange of looks before they both deploy to aid the downed Night Stalker, the film makes the friendship of the two remarkably clear for two fairly minor characters. | |

Dragon Ball Xenoverse: This will be the case if your Time Patroller happens to be male. The Time Patroller (regardless of their gender) will team up with certain warriors through out the various quests. The story mode has three particular examples: First, Son Goku who you team up with the most, and during the normal ending, the Time Patroller and Goku defeat the Final Boss together; second, Trunks who is the Time Patroller's partner; and finally SSJ4 Gogeta who claims to have formed the ultimate tag team with the Time Patroller. | |

Sena and Monta from Eyeshield 21 are the best (respectively) runningback and wide receiver in Japan, best friends, and the keys to Deimon's offensive power. Needless to say, some of the Devilbat's best plays involve the two working together. Of course, there are also the Ha-Ha Brothers who show signs of this, though they're a triple package. The moves they used in their first game, and continue to use, sink the "bash" part rather well. A more conventional example would be Tetsuma and The Kid of the Wild Gunmen, showing how epic their teamwork was in their first appearance. Similar examples would be Taka and Yamato of the Teikoku Alexanders (another runningback/reciever duo), and the lethal three way combo of Takami (quarterback), Shin (linebacker/runningback), and Sakuraba (reciever) of the Ojou White Knights. The last three are especially interesting as Sakuraba and Shin, and Sakuraba and Takami are Bash Brothers by themselves; when their plays begin to intersect it simply becomes more of a problem for the other team. For a literal example, there's the Sibling Team of Agon and Unsui of the Shinryuuji Nagas. Despite being the leaders on the opposite spectrum for talent, Agon and Hiruma are an effective combination. Agon who runs on pure reaction is complemented by Hiruma who runs on pure mental ability. Despite their hatred for each other, they work extremely well together. |

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Logan and Victor Creed do this for the first fifteen minutes of the movie. The opening sequence is a badass Montage through The American Civil War, World War I, World War II and The Vietnam War. They also come back together briefly at the end, when the take on Wade Wilson as Weapon XI as Creed wants to kill Wolverine himself. | |
