* RedOniBlueOni: Like much of the main cast, he shares this dynamic with many others in the story, though he tends to flip-flop between the two one most of them.
** Typically, he's the apathetic and lazy blue to the consummate and studious reds of Kaguya, Shirogane, and Iino, though they are flipped in several key areas.
*** Shirogane is accepting of others' relationships and is usually sympathetic to romantic plights. This is a stark contrast to Ishigami, who regularly and rudely dismisses and mocks them.
*** Kaguya lacks confidence in her ability to show empathy, while Ishigami's confidence in her is absolute.
*** It doesn't take much to make Iino excuse someone by praising her, meaning she can come off as an ineffective pushover. Ishigami, however, is not as easily swayed by similar gestures, and he is more than able to tell others off if they try that on him.
** He flips between red and blue with Fujiwara, Osaragi, Tsubame, Maki, and Hayasaka regularly.
*** Outwardly, he is the quiet and aggressive red to Fujiwara's bubbly and affable blue, but in reality, Ishigami's occasional {{Jerkass}} behavior belies his genuine NiceGuy personality, while Fujiwara's friendly demeanor is a cover for her SecretlySelfish streak.
*** Ishigami is at least willing to intervene in the open as opposed to Osaragi, making him the red to her blue. Osaragi, however, is unwavering in her views, whereas Ishigami is open to making small changes, making him the passive and accepting blue to her staunch and stubborn red.
*** It's immediately clear that Ishigami is the quiet and brooding blue to Tsubame's bubbly and lively red, but on the flipside, Ishigami is rather confident and dedicated in his crush on her, while Tsubame is too scatterbrained and indecisive to make a concrete commitment.
*** Whereas Maki is more than willing to confront Kaguya directly, Ishigami cowers in her presence, making him the blue to her red. That being said, though, Ishigami is more than willing to move on from a heartbreak, while Maki has been moping over a significant one for at least a whole year, making him the progressive red to her stagnant blue.
*** He's normally scared out of his wits by Kaguya while Hayasaka would rarely ever ''flinch'' at her mistress's worst moments, making him the cowardly and paranoid red to her firm and passive blue. However, Ishigami has a far more realistic view of romance and relationships, whereas Hayasaka is so clueless about the topic to the point it's almost as childish as Kaguya, making him the experienced blue to her aimless red.
