While many expressions of this trope play it straight, it is also not uncommon for the Blue Oni and Red Oni to mix traits. The Red Oni, while usually the more passionate and emotion-driven, may be the more easy-going and flexible of the two. Their more simplistic world-view may make them at least partially [[AngstWhatAngst immune to angst]] and {{Wangst}}. Conversely, the Blue Oni, while usually stoic and thoughtful, may hide a volatile, angsty nature that erupts when [[HeroicBSOD pushed]] too [[BerserkButton far]]. In such instances, the two may switch roles, with the Red Oni becoming the reassuring, composed partner and the Blue Oni becoming a [[UnstoppableRage Whirling Dervish of Rage]]! Compare pairings such as [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ken and Ryu]], with Ken being the red oni -- cocky, arrogant, but decidedly easy-going -- and Ryu the blue -- stoic, disciplined, but brimming with internal conflict. Interestingly, an easy-going Red Oni would become the Blue Oni if paired with a standard HotBlooded Red Oni, and an angsty, emotionally unstable Blue Oni would become the Red Oni if paired with a typical calm and levelheaded Blue Oni.

*WebAnimation/WolfSongTheMovie:
**the BetaCouple Lightning and Raina are this. Lightning (red) is more brash, direct and quick to action while Raina (blue) is more methodical and pragmatic. This dynamic is perhaps most at play here
** for the villains, Cobalt is the red oni, as he is brash, hotheaded, arrogant, aggressive and cowardly while his superior, the Death Alpha, is more methodical and strategic, often using threats and promises to keep many in line and keeping violence as a last resort because when he does resort to violence, expect a lot of death and carnage
** the daughters of the Death Alpha also are this dynamic. Mia (red) is more emotional while Mai (blue) is more methodical. This is ironic as it's Mia who has blue fur while Mai has red eyes (yep Wolf Song can be like that sometimes)

* ''Website/{{GoAnimate}}'': [[AbusiveParents Boris]] is more [[TheSociopath actively sociopathic]], [[AxCrazy evil]], and [[HairTriggerTemper insanely cruel and angered more easily]] (Red Oni) than [[KidsAreCruel Caillou]], who is still actively mean, hostile, and sociopathic, but is softer (barely) and less evil (again, barely) than Boris, despite both being very insane and easily angered.

* ''WebVideo/RyanToysReview'': Some examples.
** Combo Panda, with his spunky and confident personality, is the red to Big Gil's more laid-back and chill blue. Unironically, Combo's headphones are red, while Gil is a blue shark.
** Gus, who is carefree and a bit naive, is the red to Peck's extremely intelligent and down-to-earth blue. It makes even more sense considering Gus has a red shirt and Peck has a blue snowflake mark on his stomach.

** Both settings include the twin Ork gods Gork and Mork. Gork is a god of cunning brutality who will hit you when you aren't looking, and Mork is brutally cunning and will hit you ''really'' hard even if you are. The argument over which is which provides another excuse for Greenskins to [[SillyReasonForWar kill time by]] [[BloodKnight killing each other]].
