** Superego: [[spoiler:Annie]] who is the coldest member of the group who hunts their enemies down with frightening persistence.
** Ego: [[spoiler:Bertolt]] who shows far more emotion than [[spoiler:Annie]], but is able to cope with the stress far better than [[spoiler:Reiner]].

* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}!'' has a set in the Gandor brothers:

''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', the three main protagonists:
* Id: Misaka -- [[HotBlooded brash, and aggressive]] {{Tsundere}} with [[ShockAndAwe the power of lightning]]
* Ego: Touma -- more compassionate than Accelerator but his [[{{HotBlooded}} Hot Bloodiness]] is more laid back than Misaka, with a [[AntiMagic power]] that is [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway less impressive]] than the others, but slightly more [[BoringButPractical practical]] and down to earth
* Superego: Accelerator -- AntiHero with [[SuperpowerLottery powerful]] [[MindOverMatter telekinetic powers]] and [[TheSociopath a cold, cynical personality]] who kills those who stand in his way or villains [[AssholeVictim who are much worse than him]] [[HeWhoFightsMonsters without showing any signs of remorse]]

''Anime/CodeGeass'' has many variants.
* The Black Knights Trio

* The main three leads
** Lelouch (Ego), Suzaku (Superego), and C.C. (Id).

''Anime/CowboyBebop'' has this though it can get blurry
* Id: Vicious was arguably a superego, but either has become (or always was) the id, driven by an extreme lust for power and control. When interacting with others, he puts on the cold facade of a superego, but when he fights, he is animalistic and instinctual, though he favors a weapon of serenity and discipline.
* Superego: Spike started as an id, but arguably was shifted to being a superego by Julia's influence and now more less abides by the law, remaining calm and never letting his emotions show. He has the tendency to lapse back into a more id like state when angered, but mostly is calm and content, exemplified by his combat style of non-aggressive redirection.
* Ego: almost certainly Julia -- while not as animalistic as Vicious and definitely in more control of her lust, she is still able to readily show emotions, unlike Spike

''Anime/DaiGuard'', the three pilots:
* Id: Akagi is a HotBlooded AscendedFanboy whose constant use of the IndyPloy consistently infuriates his teammates
* Ego: Ibuki is closer to Earth than Akagi, but is not always perfectly calm (manually activating Dai-Guard's Net Cannon by climbing out on the mecha's arm being one example)
* Superego: Aoyama is (at first, at least) [[PunchClockHero just doing his job]] and refers to himself as the OnlySaneMan

''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'' has a few of these.
* Id: Huang -- hot-tempered NobleBigotWithABadge, prone to BullyingADragon
* Superego: Hei -- TheStoic who suppresses his emotions
* Ego: Mao -- Keeps the above two from killing each other and [[TinMan despite his claims of being unemotional and pragmatic]] is pretty nice.

* Id: April -- a HardDrinkingPartyGirl
* Superego: July -- An [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Guy]]
* Ego: November 11 -- Cunning and kind of a jerk but cares for his teammates and has a nice side

* Id: Genma -- a DepravedBisexual
* Superego: Mina -- A stoic who rarely conveys any emotional response
* Ego: Yoko -- TheTeamNormal, [[MadScientist a brilliant scientist]] but also very personable

''Manga/DeathNote''
* Superego: Light Yagami -- Zealous KnightTemplar bent on creating "a perfect world."
* Id: Misa Amane -- [[TheHedonist Amoral pleasure seeker]]/{{yandere}}
* Ego: Ryuk -- Finds the others to be "so interesting."

* The detectives
** Superego: Near -- Calm, cerebral and stoic
** Id: Mello -- Volatile, ambitious and passionate
** Ego: L -- The (im)perfect balance between the two

* Put both groups together for the main three leads:
** Light Yagami (Superego), L (Ego), and Misa Amane (Id).

''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' and ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02''
* Id: Taichi (Tai) -- Impulsive, outspoken, active
* Superego: Koushirou (Izzy) -- Logical INTP-type computer whiz
* Ego: Yamato (Matt) -- Cautious and sensitive, aggressive when provoked (shifts between Id and Superego, with a tendency towards Superego)
** Arguably a subversion, though; after CharacterDevelopment, Taichi matures into the Ego, as is more fitting for a leader, whilst Yamato is revealed to frequently be a lot less cool-headed than he'd like or tries to be, becoming more of an Id, particularly when Takeru (T.K.) is involved.
*** At the same time, Yamato tends to be more thoughtful and less ready to jump the gun than Taichi is, so the above example still fits.

* Played more straight, however, in [[Anime/DigimonAdventure02 02]], which has not one but two examples of this:
** Id: Daisuke (Davis), -- shares Taichi's hot-headed Id qualities.
** Ego: Takeru (T.K.), very much -- far more cool-headed than Daisuke, but nonetheless appalled by all the evil the villains are committing. Helps that he's been to the Digital World before.
** Superego: [[spoiler:definitely Ken, post-HeelFaceTurn]] -- the Superego to Daisuke's Id, [[spoiler:to the point where the other Chosen Children thought at first he was still a monster for destroying the Digimon created from the Control Spires, before the method of their creation was revealed]].

''Anime/DigimonSavers''
* Id: Masaru (Marcus) -- Brash street fighter, AllLovingHero, DumbIsGood
* Superego: Touma (Thomas) -- Calm, cool, logical
* Ego: Yoshino (Yoshi) -- Four years older, usually thinks with one and acts with the other (shifts from favoring Superego to favoring Id)

''Anime/{{Digimon Tamers}}'':
* Ego: Takato -- AscendedFanboy, normal, friendly, definitely the least HotBlooded [[strike:goggle-boy]] leader (darn you, Masaru!) this franchise has to offer.
* Id: Ruki (Rika) -- IneffectualLoner, angry, definitely the most [[LittleMissBadass badass girl]] this franchise has to offer.
* Superego: Jenrya (Henry) -- TechnicalPacifist, thoughtful, Zen-like, definitely the hardest-to-classify character this franchise has to offer.

''Anime/DragonBallZ''
* The three main leads:
** Vegeta is proud, easily angered, and has a strong bloodlust (id)
** Son Goku is laid back and friendly, but enjoys training and fighting powerful opponents (ego)
** Son Gohan is serious, does not like combat and prefers to study (superego)
* The three Androids
** Android 17 (Id), Android 18 (Ego), and Android 16 (Superego).
* The three main villains
** Frieza (ego), Cell (superego), and Majin Buu (id).

''Manga/ElfenLied'' has two:

** [[WoobieDestroyerofWorlds Lucy]] (Id), [[TheEveryman Kohta]] (Ego), and [[ControlFreak Yuka]] (Superego).

* The Diclonius Research Centre:
** [[BloodKnight Bando]] (Id), [[BadassAdorable Nana]] (Ego), and [[TheStoic Kurama]] (Superego).




''Manga/{{Eyeshield21}}''
* Ojou:
** Id: Ootawara -- Dumb Muscle
** Ego: Sakuraba -- the most normal
** Superego: Shin or Takami -- Takami is more typically intelligent while Shin is the least emotional

* Shinryuuji:
** Id: Agon -- relies on his talent and instinct
** Ego: Ikkyu -- prideful but reasonable
** Superego: Unsui -- the most cautious of the three

* Seibu:
** Id: Riku -- actions based on emotions rather then what's strategic
** Ego: Kid -- intelligent, but insecure
** Superego: Tetsuma -- the one whose emotions are the most controlled

* Taiyou:
** Id: Kasamatsu and Kamagaruma -- former easily enraged and tricked, latter impulsive
** Ego: Harao -- reasonably intelligent, but hampered by insecurity
** Superego: Banba -- the real brains of the team

* Poseidon:
** Id: Mizumachi -- lives for fun
** Ego: Kobanzame
** Superego: Kakei -- thinks the most strategically of the 3

* Bando:
** Id: Kotaro -- values passion most
** Ego: Juri -- OnlySaneMan
** Superego: Akaba -- values intellegence most

* Hakushuu:
** Id: Gao -- animal instincts personified
** Ego: Maria -- desires victory, but not at the expense of others
** Superego: Marco -- goes for the most straight forward path to victory regardless of those he hurts
*** 88 Alternately, one could argue that Kisiragi is the Ego: he's Marco's Left Hand in contrast to Gaou's Right, worships strength every bit as much as Gaou does, but relies on brainpower to use his strength effectively, putting him right between the two of them.

* Teikoku:
** Id: Yamato -- plays for the love of competing
** Ego: Karin -- the peace keeper
** Superego: Taka -- the intellectual

* Team America:
** Panther (Id), Mr. Don (Ego), and Superego (Clifford).

''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'':
* Id: Bart -- Impulsive, Loud-Mouth, Energetic
* Superego: Lynn -- Sweet-Natured, Gentle, Shy, Empathetic
* Ego: Kenshiro -- Calm, Level-Headed, Comforts Lynn and keeps Bart in Line

''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'':
* Superego: Sousuke -- [[TheStoic Stoic]], rational, socially inept.
* Id: Kurz Weber -- Impulsive, [[LovableSexManiac lecherous]].
* Ego: Mao -- Balanced. As commander, must make use of both of her subordinates' talents.

''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'':
* Id: Edward -- Reckless, impulsive, hot-tempered, [[{{Determinator}} extremely driven]].
* Ego: Alphonse -- [[GentleGiant Gentle]], thoughtful, idealistic, self-sacrificing.
* Superego: Winry -- Sensible, diplomatic, motherly, can be stern.

''Anime/GenesisOfAquarion'':
* Id: Silvia -- Impulsive, short-tempered, [[ClingyJealousGirl clingy]].
* Ego: Tsugumi -- Gentle, afraid of her power.
* Superego: Reika -- Smart, level-headed, misunderstood [[TheJinx Jinx]].

''Manga/GetterRobo''; they're a bit of a special case, though, as their positions arguably tend to shift depending on whether the current version owes more to the goofy 1970s anime or the dark and violent manga version.
* Id: Ryoma -- Though if they're playing it LighterAndSofter, he could be Ego, as a typical HotBlooded anime hero/team captain. If it's DarkerAndEdgier, he'll be Hot Blooded to the point of being [[BloodKnight psychotically violent]].
* Superego: Hayato - Whether he's a cool-headed foil to Ryo's loud, flashy super robo antics or a cold an calculating sociopath, Hayato almost always fits into the Superego mold. His Getter-2's hit and run fighting style reflects this nicely.
* Ego: Musashi/Benkei -- Could also be Id, depending on the version. While he's generally a bumbling oaf who charges into battle without thinking, in darker Getter stories, while still more violent, he's usually less so than his teammates and has a great deal more empathy.

* Id: Haruhi -- Impulsive, [[{{tsundere}} prone to extreme mood swings]], [[ComedicSociopathy has little to no concern for the feelings or others]].
* Superego: Yuki -- [[TheQuietOne Quiet]], [[TheSpock supremely rational]], [[EmotionlessGirl unemotive]], [[BadassBookworm highly competent]].
* Ego: Kyon -- Balanced; not as [[TheStoic stoic]] as Yuki, but not as [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} insane as Haruhi]].

''Manga/HekikaiNoAiON'' have:
* The PowerTrio of heroines:
** Superego: Shizuki -- [[TheSmartOne The smart]] and [[ManipulativeBitch manipulative one]]
** Ego: Yuzuki -- [[TheDitz Kind but naive]] and is in middle of Shizuki and Seine
** Id: Seine -- [[YouKilledMyFather Vengeful]] and [[{{Determinator}} very determined to accomplish it]]

* And the main LoveTriangle:
** Superego: Seine -- Rational, snarky and not so interested in love
** Ego: Tatsuya -- [[AllLovingHero Kind]], mediator and in the middle of the two
** Id: Sheila -- FishOutOfWater, [[TheIngenue childlike]] and infatuated with Tatsuya

''Manga/{{Hellsing}}''
* Id: Alucard, the obscenely powerful and utterly shameless monster.

* Id: [[LoveMakesYouDumb Dumb Kaguya]], who represents Kaguya's desire to be open with her feelings and confess to Shirogane.
* Superego: [[IceQueen Ice Kaguya]], who represents how Kaguya used to be before she fell in love with Shirogane.
* Ego: Child Kaguya, who oversees the other two as a judge.

''Anime/KaleidoStar'':
* Id: Sora -- the [[GenkiGirl perky]] leader, often running on emotion
* Ego: Anna (Id-leaning Ego) -- cool-headed off-stage, but would rather be doing comedy
* Superego: Mia -- the semi-serious and logical one

''Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn'' 's two major villains and main protagonist may fit.
* Id: Xanxus -- Passionate, Hair-trigger temper, speech is full of {{Angrish}}.
* Superego: Byakuran -- Seems like a run-of-the-mill PsychopathicManChild but takes a level in psycho as well as TheChessmaster as the Future arc progresses.
* Ego: Tsuna -- Level-headed and kindhearted, practically AllLovingHero, but knows when to be full of asskickery. Eventually defeats the other two.

''Anime/KillLaKill'''s three main characters:
* Id: Ryuko -- HotBlooded, prone to anger, reckless, scrappy, and ''very'' determined.
* Ego: Mako -- Optimistic, supportive, all-loving, and is [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} out there]].

''Anime/KirbyRightBackatYa''

''Anime/LegendOfGalacticHeroes'' has this primarily in:
* [[AntiHero Reinhard]] [[ReasonableAuthorityFigure von]] [[TheEmperor Lohengramm]] as the Captain Kirk figure;
* [[TheHeart Siegfried]] [[IncorruptiblePurePureness Kircheis]] for [=McCoy=];
* [[TheSpock Paul]] [[EnigmaticMinion von]] [[NecessarilyEvil Oberstein]] as a Machievellian Spock.

* And as a comedy trio:
** Ego: [[SkilledButNaive Julian]] [[PluckyMiddie Minci]], suprisingly enough.
** Id: [[AcePilot Olivier]] [[EthicalHedonist Poplan]].
** Superego: [[TheQuietOne Louis]] [[DeadpanSnarker Mashengo]].

''Anime/LuckyStar'' fits into this, despite having a FourGirlEnsemble:
* Id: [[{{Moe}} Tsukasa Hiiragi]] -- [[TheDitz ditzy]] {{Cloudcuckoolander}} who spends most of her time [[HeavySleeper sleeping]].
* Ego: [[ProudToBeAGeek Konata]] [[OtakuSurrogate Izumi]] -- balanced, despite being an Otaku girl.
* Superego: [[DeadpanSnarker Kagami]] [[{{Tsundere}} Hiiragi]] -- The rational one who often critize Konata's otaku interests and inability to study hard as well as constantly looking over her twin sister Tsukasa.

* Or
** Konata (Id), Kagami (Ego), and Miyuki (Superego).

* Or
** Konata (Id), Tsukasa (Ego), and Miyuki (Superego).

*** The four main girls go like this: Tsukasa and Konata fits into both Id and Ego (Tsukasa tends to lean more to the Ego while Konata more to the Id), Kagami fits into the Ego and Superego, and Miyuki fits into the Superego.

* For the ''other'' FourGirlEnsemble:
** Id: [[OccidentalOtaku Patricia]] [[GenkiGirl Martin]].

** Superego: Konata Izumi

** Superego: Kira Yamato -- TechnicalPacifist AllLovingHero who suppresses his own strong feelings in the name of saving the world, putting his own emotions on the backburner in the interest of protecting others. Very, very focused.
** Ego: Athrun Zala (leaning towards Superego) -- A conflicted patriot who wants to believe to the same degree that Shinn does, but is too cynical and bitter after his experiences in the first war to implicity trust those around him. Wavers between following Shinn and Kira for much of the show, eventually settling on the latter.

* The Minerva Trio (actually a great example of a ''failed'' PowerTrio, in which the Ego is unable to successfully balance the other two, leaving the Superego in control, and the Id violent, angry, and on the verge of a confusion-induced nervous breakdown)
** Id: [[TheBerserker Shinn Asuka]] -- JerkassWoobie HeroWithAnFInGood. His heart's in the right place, but his UnstoppableRage gets in the way of his doing the right thing. A wannabe hero who hasn't figured out that BlackAndWhiteMorality just doesn't happen in Gundam. Suffers a mental breakdown over the course of the show as his desires and his gut instincts come more and more into conflict. Has a definite childish streak.
** Superego: [[WellIntentionedExtremist Rey Za Burrel]] -- Cold-blooded ManipulativeBastard who believes that UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans; a calm, focused example of TheQuietOne otherwise. Genuinely seems to like the other two but has no qualms about using them in the name of creating paradise.
** Ego: Lunamaria Hawke -- Reasonable and friendly, she tries to be the mediator, but her lack of a forceful personality repeatedly sidelines her, allowing Rey more and more control over the group. She wants to do the right thing, but really isn't sure how to go about it, and her indicision has less than desireable consequences for Shinn in particular.

* Phantom Pain
** Id: Stella[[SpellMyNameWithAnS /r]] Louisier -- Childish, in both good ''and'' bad ways; suffers from borderline paranoid schizophrenia.
** Superego: Sting Oakley -- Brother figure to his teammates and keeps the other two in control; cold, and the most practical of the three; the only one who knows when to [[KnowWhenToFoldEm call it a day]].
** Ego: [[TheBrute Auel Neider]] (tending toward Id) -- AxCrazy, but more "controllable" than Stella/r; has a brotherly relationship with Sting and is a KnightTemplarBigBrother towards Stella (when he isn't emotionally abusing her).

''Manga/AkameGaKill'' has its three main protagonists:
* Id: Mine, the haughty {{Tsundere}} [[InsufferableGenius who loves flaunting her skills]].
* Superego: Akame, who was trained from childhood to be the perfect assassin, and as a result shows [[TheStoic little emotion]] while killing with ruthless efficiency.
* Ego: Tatsumi, the NaiveNewcomer who turns Mine and Akame into {{Defrosting Ice Queen}}s at the cost of his own {{innocence|lost}} and [[TookALevelInCynic idealism]].

''Manga/AlienNine'' has the Alien Party:
* Id: Kasumi Tomine -- Joined because she likes catching/fighting aliens. Also contrasts with Yuri in that she is [[BornWinner a prodigy]] and a xenophile. Also serves as the [[RedOniBlueOni red oni to Kumi's blue]].
* Ego: Yuri Otani -- Railroaded by her classmates since no one else wanted to be stuck wearing the UglyCute alien. The opposite of Kasumi in that she is a crybaby moeblob who despises all things alien.
* Superego: Kumi Kawamura -- Chose to be an Alien Fighter rather than be saddled with the higher pressure and responsiblity of Class President (little did ''she'' know...) but is also the thinker and TheStoic of the group. Also serves as the [[RedOniBlueOni blue oni to Kasumi's red]].

''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' has this in the main trio:
* Id: Eren Yeager (TheMcCoy) -- the brashest, most easily affected by emotions, and most eager to fight.
* Superego: Mikasa Ackerman (TheSpock) -- a ruthless fighter, the calmest and most emotionally distant, able to be decisive where other would hesitate. Subverted, since this goes right out the window whenever [[LivingEmotionalCrutch Eren]] is concerned.
* Ego: Armin Arlert (TheKirk) -- ChildhoodFriends with Eren and Mikasa; hence he is able to calm Eren down and rationalize with Mikasa.

There's also Levi, Erwin, and Hanji later on:
* Id: Hanji -- emotional to the point of being ''creepy'' at times
* Superego: Levi -- cold and ruthless pragmatist, looks at things logically to the point of being a borderline SociopathicHero
* Ego: Erwin -- considers both emotions and doing what needs done to be equally important.

Finally, the Titan Shifter Trio
* Id: [[spoiler:Reiner]] who blows the cover of the Shifters due to emotional stress and develops a split personality due to said emotional problems.
* Superego: [[spoiler:Annie]] who is the coldest member of the group who hunts their enemies down with frightening persistence.
* Ego: [[spoiler:Bertolt]] who shows far more emotion than [[spoiler:Annie]], but is able to cope with the stress far better than [[spoiler:Reiner]].

* Id: Berga Gandor -- The middle brother. Huge, emotional, and intimidating. [[DumbMuscle Not very bright]].
* Ego: Luck Gandor -- The youngest. The calm, collected "brains" of the group. Usually at the head in most of their dealings and serves as the mediator.

''Manga/{{Berserk}}'': It's downplayed, but this definatley applies to the main protagonists in the golden age arc.
* Id: Guts -- Impulsive, driven mainly by his emotions and will to survive, BookDumb, tends to act first and think later.
* Superego: Griffith -- Intelligent, calculating, ambitious, rational and somewhat emotionally detatched.

* Superego: Kisara -- A cold AntiHero who wants revenge against her own family bloodline for being responsible for the deaths of her parents and [[NecessarilyEvil willing to commit acts of evil to defeat a greater evil]]. After Tina Sprout joins, she fits into between the Id-Ego category.

* Ego: Noelle - - The cold, haughty royal and the female of the trio.
* Superego: Yuno -- The cool, calm, and quiet prodigy mage.

''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' features the rare instance where the power trio are also the villains:
* Ego: Aizen -- The serene, soft-spoken yet supremely arrogant leader. The other two are completely loyal to him, so he has no trouble keeping them in line
* Id: Gin -- Constantly grinning, utterly without empathy, and more than happy to start trouble. Had a reputation for recklessness and scheming even before Soul Society found out he was Aizen's minion.
* Superego: Tousen -- Calm and stoic, Tousen is a {{Knight Templar}} who believes following Aizen is the least violent way to bring order to the world. He prioritizes his personal code above all else, even if it means harming former friends.
* Technically any of the Vizards can be considered this if the Interactions within Ichigo's mental world are/were the same for them. With the main Identity being the ego, the hollow being the Id and the Zanpakuto being the superego.
** Probably not though, as Ichigo [[spoiler:is quite a special case, with "Zangetsu" actually being his Quincy powers, and "Hollow Ichigo" being the both the real Zangetsu and Ichigos Hollow powers. As such, the only other character this might apply to is the Spinoff-exclusive Hikone Ubuginu, who is a blend of Quincy, Soul Reaper and Hollow like Ichigo]].
* The Freudian Trio/Platonic Tripartite Soul also applies to the first three members of the {{Five Man Band}} and love triangle:
** Superego: Rukia -- Rational, calm, contemplative, self-possessed, driven by duty, conscientious to the point of [[spoiler:being suicidal over something that wasn't her fault]], and is the damsel in distress in the rules-obsessed Soul Society
** Ego: Ichigo -- The spirited protagonist and, as mentioned, is a tripartite soul himself with Ichigo proper, Zangetsu and Hollow Ichigo -- lampshaded by the in-story "king and his horse" analogy which is similar to the charioteer analogy in Plato's Republic.
** Id: Orihime -- Appetitive, acts on her gut feelings and emotions, her unusual tastes in food are a running joke, and is the damsel in distress in Hueco Mundo where the inhabitants are driven to eat each other.
** The rest of the Five Man Band and Sixth Ranger: Ishida the Rational (Superego), Renji the Spirited (Ego), and Chad the Appetitive (Id). The two fighting formations toward the end of Hueco Mundo work this way [[spoiler:with Rukia and Ishida trading places]].
** Also, Ichigo's closest three normal human friends: straight man Mizuiro -- Rational (Superego), hot-blooded Tatsuki -- Spirited (Ego), and goofy Keigo -- Appetitive (Id).
* The three main groups of supernatural beings: WordOfGod has the cold-blooded and logical Quincies (Superego) are meant to contrast the hot-blooded and passionate Arrancar (Id), with Soul Reapers in the middle (Ego).

''Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon'' appears to have this in a less personified form than most:
