* The UsefulNotes/SuperFamicom game ''Anime/TenchiMuyo Game Hen'' has everyone's favorite SpacePirate Ryoko Hakubi as a late-game boss, following her [[DamselInDistress abuction]] by the BigBad halfway through the story. It's a bit of a subversion in that defeating Ryoko earns the player a Game Over; the object of the mission is to defeat the Ryoko ''clones'' (easily identifiable as [[PaletteSwap recolors]] of the real one) who are acting as the real one's {{flunk|yBoss}}ies.

* The ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'' used this quite liberally:
** Thanks to UnwillingRoboticisation or [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mind control]], the Freedom Fighters or their affiliates will fight each other more often than not. When Eggman starts implementing the Dark Leigion's Legionization method (replacing organic parts with cybernetic ones), some of those soldiers are seen as related to any of Mobius' FF factions in some way, further invoking this trope.
** The "[[Recap/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComicsHouseOfCards House of Cards]]" two-parter has Sonic and Tails end up fighting each other, though not because of the usual reasons, but due to Tails' dedication to his parents. Sonic relents once it becomes clear that Tails is more pissed off at him due to the hedgehog's ignorance and how he ended up dating his crush Fiona at the time, even ''after'' she betrayed them both for Scourge later down the road.
