Not all rivalries are bitter. Some are competitive, with both parties being driven by a healthy desire to one-up each other and, regardless of the outcome, they'll continue to push themselves in anticipation of their next eventual showdown. As such, they develop a mutual respect for each other's talents, even in defeat. If taken to extremes, their rivalry can border on exclusivity. It's a staple of Fighting Games and martial arts media, usually involving the protagonist. Their rival can be anyone from the deuteragonist, or their Best Friend, or even a former enemy. Woe be to any enemy who stands against either of them, because then the unfortunate adversary will have both friends to deal with and much ass will be kicked that day. Other rivalries may revolve around sports, performance arts, business, or... anything, really. Some can even be portrayed comically, with both parties competing over something mundane, or pointless. Compare and often overlaps with Worthy Opponent, Spirited Competitor, and Mirror Character. Related to The Only One Allowed to Defeat You. Contrasts with The Rival and Arch-Enemy, who serve more as foils and are usually more antagonistic. Can overlap with Vitriolic Best Buds if there is some teasing involved in the rivalry, or Bully Turned Buddy, if one of the rivals was an outright bully before turning friendlier. See also Opponent Instruction. A Hammy Villain, Serious Hero dynamic can fall into this at times. The next step up is Rivalry as Courtship. |

Wonder Woman (1942): Starting in Issue #1, it's established that Diana and Mala are best pals on Paradise Island and train together, but have different viewpoints on rules and are fiercely competitive with each other in athletic abilities (which on Paradise Island mostly means martial arts and running). | |

Wonder Woman (1987): Diana and Artemis' relationship starts out as antagonistic due to them being from different Amazon tribes and worsens when Artemis replaces Diana as Wonder Woman during The Contest. After numerous battles together and having saved each other's lives, the two become friends though they still occasionally disagree for one reason or another. | |

The Great British Bake Off: The contestants almost never show any antagonism towards each other, being incredibly friendly and helpful. Contestants who finish their bakes early will frequently pitch in and help those who are struggling to complete their own bakes within the time limit, as when Richard and Chetna of Series 5 stepped in to help colleague Martha recover from a mishap during the Pastry Showstopper. In Series 7, Jane, Kate, and Tom stepped in to calm Candice down and help make her chocolate loaf look presentable as she was becoming increasingly upset and panicking. In one incident in Series 1, David's oven shorted out and Ruth offered to share her own (which would have hurt her own cooking due to having to open the oven door more than necessary), though it didn't ultimately prove necessary to do so. Sarah-Jane and Cathryn in Series 3 became close enough that they actually went into business together after the series ended. Jane and Candice in Series 7 had something of a rivalry between them, most notably when they both decided to make lime and coconut meringue pies for their signature bakes. Despite this they remain good friends and constantly cheer each other on. The "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue even revealed that they were going on a baking road trip together. Steven and Sophie in Series 8 quickly identified each other as major rivals and nearly as quickly became friends. |

Hüsker Dü and The Replacements largely due to being from the Twin Cities and making same genre of music. Probably The Minutemen can be added into this as they had a friendly, teasing relationship with both bands, which makes the Friendly Rivalry three cornered. | |

In speed, Superman and The Flash have a back-and-forth rivalry over who's the fastest. The ebb and flow of the rivalry will always vary. Sometimes Flash will leave Superman in the dust while telling him that any past race Superman won was just for charity. Sometimes, they'll be evenly matched or be close enough that one isn't really massively faster than the other. Or sometimes Superman will really exert himself to be able to catch or surpass Flash. Depending on the Writer, you might also have scenes where the Flash will express frustration that he feels Superman was deliberately holding back in all their races. However, the two of them are still portrayed as friends despite their back-and-forth over the years. | |

The protagonist of Double Homework has a couple of these: The protagonist and Tamara were always very close due to their competition. They always pushed each other to be better. The protagonist and Rachel had a similar dynamic while they were dating (in fact, he recommended that she try for the Olympics), and they do again after the air clears from their breakup. |

Making It, much like The Great British Bake Off, is all about the mutual celebration of the contestants' favorite activity. Everyone is supportive of one another and even critiques from the judges are extremely mild. Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman lampshade this friendliness and occasionally jokingly try and drum up some drama. | |

Marvel Universe: The Hulk and Thor are depicted as this nowadays. They fight alongside each other but both of them think they're the strongest — which causes their rivalry. Although their relationship was originally depicted as Headbutting Heroes, their relationship has grown over the years and both are on friendlier terms now. Thor and Hercules are an even better example. Though they have fought on occasion, and there's still a little rivalry, ultimately, they understand and can talk to each other in ways they really can't with the other Avengers. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: While the MCU vs DCEU rivalry has been exacerbated by some creatives and fans, the Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) cast and crew are on mutually respectful terms with their DCEU counterparts. James Gunn and Patty Jenkins expressed excitement for each other's films. Gunn in particular has been vocal in rejecting the DC vs Marvel rivalry and incidentally has the prestigious honor of being one of the first few directors to direct movies for both franchises. Likewise, Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman) and Vin Diesel (Groot) have shared family meetup pics and selfies with Gadot being considered an Honorary Aunt to Diesel's children. This isn't too surprising since many of Guardians creatives have previously worked alongside the DCEU creatives in prior works like Gadot and Diesel starring in The Fast and the Furious movies and Gunn writing the Zack Snyder-directed Dawn of the Dead (2004) remake. Gal Gadot with Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Brie Larson (Captain Marvel). Hemsworth conceded that Wonder Woman could beat Thor in a fight and spoke positively of how his children were inspired by Gadot's performance. Likewise, Larson is a life-long Wonder Woman fangirl and was overjoyed to see Gadot bring the character to life. As for Gadot, she has nothing short of upmost respect for her competitors and publically congratulated their movies. Marvel Studios head honcho, Kevin Feige, has always been supportive towards his rival superhero competitors. As Feige believed the "rising tide lifts all boats" philosophy, he publicly considers good non-MCU movies like Wonder Woman, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and Deadpool to be beneficial for the superhero genre as a whole. Most notably, Feige didn't mind that Wonder Woman was released before the MCU's own Captain Marvel (2019), and he was actually relieved that Wonder Woman didn't fall victim to the Girl-Show Ghetto since that film's success convinced Disney to keep supporting his push for more inclusivity in the MCU films. |

In the backstory of the X-Wing Series, Corellian Security Force agent Hal Horn and smuggler Booster Terrik weren't friends, but had a mutual respect for one another even after Hal finally caught Booster and put him away on Kessel for five years. Hal's son Corran, the protagonist of the first four books, speculates that had his father known that Booster had helped catch the pirates who murdered Wedge Antilles' family, Booster might not have done the time. Of course, Corran manages to piss off Booster his own way after falling in love with and eventually marrying his daughter Mirax. | |

Superman: Superman and Batman went through a lengthy phase of this in roughly the middle third of their friendship. These days, it's down to the occasional joke between them — but the rivalry seems to have been handed down to Superboy and the third Robin. Lois and Clark also show a bit of rivalry as reporters at the Daily Planet. Lois is the type of person who openly welcomes a bit of healthy competition and sees it as a challenge, and the two often try to outscoop one another. They are also Happily Married. Superman traditionally has this kind of relationship with Vartox and Captain Marvel. They're friends, but just by virtue of being some of the only guys around who can actually give each other a good fight (and because of the ever-present Conflict Ball), they seem to end up punching each other around a lot anyway. While the friendly rivalry between Conner and Tim evolved into full-on friendship, Jon and Damian have a very conventional friendly rivalry, being Vitriolic Best Buds (although Damian's stunted social skills meant that it took a while for him to warm up to Jon). In speed, Superman and The Flash have a back-and-forth rivalry over who's the fastest. The ebb and flow of the rivalry will always vary.

After numerous battles together and having saved each other's lives, the two become friends though they still occasionally disagree for one reason or another. |

Inspector Gideon Pryke in the Jonathan Creek episodes "Black Canary" and "The Case of the Savant's Thumb". While his style is very different from Jonathan's, he's always happy to have someone else intelligent look at the case, and he and Jonathan are usually neck-and-neck in the deductions ... until Jonathan gets the "Eureka!" Moment and Pryke misses it. | |

The contestants of My Kitchen Rules tend to get along quite well with each other, particularly during the Instant Restaurant rounds, which is usually more like a group of friends having dinner together. Most even root for the teams whose turn it is to cook, and hope they do their best, even though they are still competitors. | |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades: Downplayed between Cyrus Rivermoore and Ophelia Salvadori. They've fought many bloody battles in the labyrinth and he's prone to Slut-Shaming her, but it's implied that he just does it to provoke her to fight him. If you look more closely, the series actually implies they're more competitors than enemies: they're shown critiquing each other's newest creations during the fight that that the Sword Roses witness in volume 1, and Cyrus mentions he plans to give condolences to her family after she's consumed by the spell in volume 3. Doesn't make their fights any less dangerous to be around. Oliver Horn to Richard Andrews and Tullio Rossi. Andrews kind of becomes a Stock Shōnen Rival for Oliver. They get off on the wrong foot due to a poorly worded remark from Oliver during Sword Arts, then their dispute gets tangled up in the conservative faction's beef with Katie over the troll. After they fight the garuda together they're able to bury the hatchet, and though Andrews never really becomes a friend, he seems to view Oliver as a motivation to improve himself from then on rather than as an enemy, and seeks a rematch in the third-year combat leagues beginning volume 7. Rossi takes a dislike to Oliver for hogging all the gossip after the events of volume 1, and starts the Tournament Arc in volume 2 basically as an excuse to duel him. Oliver soundly thrashes him and then starts tutoring him in the sword, and Rossi teams up with Andrews in volume 7, likewise hoping for a rematch. Upperclasswoman Diana Ashbury, the star of one of the senior league broomsports teams, takes an instant dislike to Nanao Hibiya once the latter qualifies to join the senior league teams in volume 4, calling her an eyesore. Nanao earns her respect by forcing her to work extra hard to win in their first face-off, and Diana is shown helping train her afterwards. |

In Dear Children, Devin and Chelle love to argue for the sake of arguing. During the clubroom conversation in chapter 2, it is shown they will debate literally anything, even if they know it has no significance, and they will use their friends (and strangers) to settle heated stalemates. Despite how nasty their comments towards one another get, they still manage to remain friends. | |

Game of Thrones: Jorah Mormont with Barristan Selmy. They both have much in common and are quite similar in terms of character, but each has his issues with the other. And while always friendly or at least polite with one another, they're both quite frank in expressing their reservations about the other. | |

This is how Spider-Man and The Human Torch's dynamic was for years. They became less competitive with each other as they grew older, but there's still an element of ragging on each other/trying to outdo each other there, only now mixed with actual respect — to the extent that Johnny left instructions for Peter to replace him on the team in the event of his death. | |

The Hulk and Thor are depicted as this nowadays. They fight alongside each other but both of them think they're the strongest — which causes their rivalry. Although their relationship was originally depicted as Headbutting Heroes, their relationship has grown over the years and both are on friendlier terms now. Thor and Hercules are an even better example. Though they have fought on occasion, and there's still a little rivalry, ultimately, they understand and can talk to each other in ways they really can't with the other Avengers. |

Accel World: Despite being from rival legions, Silver Crow and Ash Rider are close and fight for the adulation of the crowd every other day. When Crow has his wings stolen Ash takes him to his teacher Sky Raker to learn how to fight again. The main exception to this is Ash's little sister, who is in love with Crow. He flies into a blind rage whenever Crow acts 'too friendly' or 'too distant' with her. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Applejack and Rainbow Dash are great friends, but that doesn't stop them from competing against one another. Rainbow Dash apparently forms these kinds of friendships a lot, as evidenced by her interactions with Gilda and Lightning Dust. The relationship between Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich started out like this, with the latter emphasized on Pinkie's part. That changes when during their Goof-Off, birthday mare Rainbow Dash gets crushed by Pinkie's pinata (thankfully unharmed), making Pinkie realize that her rivalry with Cheese Sandwich is overshadowing her attempt to make Rainbow's party fun and forfeits. Also, Cheese Sandwich was a shy colt who was actually inspired by Pinkie to throw parties. As a token of their friendship, Cheese gives Pinkie one of his rubber chickens that he calls Boneless note which turns out to be one of the Friendship Keys.. This is the purpose of the "Equestria Games", which pit athletes from different parts of the kingdom against each other. Rainbow Dash and Spitfire lampshade this with an enthusiastic hoof-bump at the finish line after the relay race. |

Bazil Broketail: Despite befriending Relkin in the end, Swane still occasionally acts this way towards him, invariably eager to prove that he is no worse as a man and a soldier. Burthong towards Bazil. They duel in the tournament and Bazil ends up only barely winning the fight, to Burthong's disappointment. Afterwards though, they both compliment each other's skills and part on good terms. When they meet again later, they recall their previous battle and it seems both are looking forward for a rematch. |
