Sometimes, you get more than one entity per body—such as a Split Personality or an Enemy Within. This conjoined character can, of course, get physically split for different reasons ranging from the creation of a Literal Split Personality or an Enemy Without breaking out. The resulting entities are so completely opposite that it's hard to believe they have something in common. Then, however, they reunite. The reunion results in creating something more perfect than the original entity.
The main plot is often put in the time when the entities split. The reunion would be connected with the climax or resolution of the plot. The moment of the split would be often revealed in retrospection. Revealing this fact would be a plot twist.
It might result in Fighting a Shadow (the opponent that was "killed" was not the entire being, either being an illusion or an incarnation that can return) or Split-Personality Merge (two or more alters combine into one to symbolize accepting all aspects of yourself). Contrast Split-Personality Takeover (between heroic and villainous personality, the former loses all remaining control). Sister Trope of Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario (a team or couple have a falling out and are separated, but meet again and reconcile in the end).

Devil May Cry 5: Due to the numerous times he lost in battle and his subsequent corruption into Nelo Angelo, Vergil is at death's door and has to split himself into two literal split personalities (V and Urizen) after impaling himself with the Yamato. In the aftermath of Mission 17, V decides to merge with Urizen again, bringing forth a re-completed Vergil who's now free from the corruption that his body suffered. He also gained new things due to the actions of his two halves; with V, it's a Character Development of interacting with Dante and Nero on a friendlier basis (which is mostly shown only after the Final Boss fight of Mission 20), while a Hand Wave from Nico's Reports imply that Vergil gained his Sin Devil Trigger form because of Urizen.

Honkai Impact 3rd:
In the 28th chapter, clone-siblings Kiana and an amnesiac Durandal re-meet to fight Otto. Even while they remain motivated by different objectives, they manage to get past their differences and fight as a team.
In ch. 17, as part of her deal to save Kiana, Mei defects to World Serpent and both go separate ways. They grow past their flaws in different ways (with different plots for each other), and they're finally reunited at the beginning of chapter 32. The narration also states that as long as they keep yearning for each other, they're never "truly apart".

The Dark Crystal: The Skeksis and urRa are depicted as completely opposite. From the first moments of the film, however, we can see some symmetries between them. Later they reunite and explain they were split beings. The official book about Dark Crystal world says, their split was an effect of purity pursuit.
