wildcard9: Why isn't Megatokyo on here? I think the scene were Miho proves to Yuki that they're both magical girls certainly counts
Vampire Buddha: Because nobody added it yet. Since it's a wiki, you can add it if you think it fits (14:25 GMT, 27/5/2009)
movie007: Would A Series Of Unfortunate Events count? While the speech never actually does come up, the Baudelaires do worry that they might be becoming just as bad as the villains who oppose them. It's somewhat subverted, though, in the case that the Baudelaires actually are able to feel remorse - something that Count Olaf and the members of his troupe (with a few exceptions) are unlikely to do.
CA Lieber: My girlfriend, asking if this trope existed, guessed at "The Abyss Stares Into You" for a name.
fleb: The Justice League Unlimited example... I don't remember this conversation happening:
- At the end of the episode, he and Batman talk it over, and Superman notes that the difference between him and his twin was that he'd felt the same urges, but never given in to them.
Vampire Buddha: Removed a bit of notfittingness (14:26 GMT, 27/5/2009):
- And now, Pain of all people, is getting in on the act, claiming that he is the same as Naruto because they both want peace. He argues that he at least [[spoilers: has a plan to achieve peace through the deaths of others.]]
Please, no bullet points entirely spoilered out.
- Rukia Kuchiki and Orihime Inoue from Bleach. They look very different since Rukia is a spirited and darkhaired Shorttank and Orihime is a sweet and gentle redheaded healer... But they both struggle with their self-esteem, they both felt trapped in their loneliness and guilt, they both offered themselves as prisoners to save those they cared for, and Rukia even acknowledges their parallel virtues and flaws after her fight with
Aaroniero.
Rukia: ''I know the loneliness of being a prisoner. I know the joy you feel when your friends come to rescue you and the fear of them being injured and defeated. Do not fear, Inoue... I'm coming for you now...- In a manga-only scene, Orihime has a Not So Different moment with Ichigo after hearing about his mother's death when she reflects on losing her brother and feels a "one-way sympathy" with Ichigo.

Isn't this supposed to be about pro- and antagonists?
- In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, it is revealed that every civilized race, before discovering the existence of the other races, have each created a drink with the name "Gin and Tonic", or at least something that sounds the same but is completely different in both spelling and recipe. Compare the Earth-born highball cocktail of gin, ice and tonic water with others such as the Sivolvian "chinanto/mnigs" (nothing more than lukewarm water) or the Gagrakackan "tzjin-anthony-ks" (can kill cows at a hundred paces).
Funny, but nothing to do with the trope.
- Similar to the Hitchhiker's Guide "Gin and Tonic" example, below; on Babylon 5, G'Kar notes that every spacefaring race he knows of makes a variant of the Narn dish "Breen". G'Kar chalks it up to "one of the mysteries of the universe". The Human version, by the way, is Swedish Meatballs.
Similarly, this may be funny, but is not an example.
I'm tempted to add "us and The Other Wiki" as an example.
Would adding Real Life examples be considered too much Flame Bait? This could definitely apply to things like political rivalries, religious rivalries, and nationalistic rivalries.
