* ''{{Misfits}}'' is pretty much made of this trope. Although you could argue that even ''after'' being lumped together on community service, getting caught in a freak electrical storm and imbued with godawful superpowers, and then accidentally killing their probation worker and having to dispose of the body, the gang still [[VitriolicBestBuds don't particularly like each other]], despite having formed a strange kind of bond.

* ''MyLittlePony: Friendship is Magic'': Twilight Sparkle initially doesn't want anything to do with the [[OnlySaneMan five quirky ponies]] who want to be friends with her. Even the fact that they're all willing to accompany her through TheLostWoods just makes her cringe. However, the ensuing adventure helps her connect with them and actually start regarding them as her {{Nakama}}.

* [[SamuraiJack Jack]] and [[EnsembleDarkhorse The]] [[NoNameGiven Scotsman]] first meet halfway across a ridiculously long (and thin) bridge, each man going in the opposite direction. A fight breaks out as they try to decide who should turn back first to let the other cross, before they are set upon and [[ChainedHeat chained together]] by bounty hunters. The resulting EnemyMine results in a rather strong friendship, and they meet again a few times through the series to engage in some [[BackToBackBadasses Back to Back Badassery.]]

* [[{{Halo}} Halo 3]] had the most recent Arbiter, [[spoiler: Thel 'Vadam,]] join forces with The Master Chief, [[spoiler: John-117.]] At first they start out quite hostile towards each other--Chief even shoved a gun right in Arbiter's...mandibles, but by the end they trust each other enough to pull a [[{{BacktoBackBadasses}} Back to Back Badasses,]] and frequently save each other in battle. That and Arbiter [[spoiler: is the only one who believes John has not died at end of the game--who is, in fact, stuck floating in space, with no way to get home, and his AI Cortana quickly approaching [[AIIsaCrapshoot ram]][[SentientAIWarningSigns pancy.]] Don't mind me, [[{{SandinMyEyes}} I'm just sweating from my eyes.]]]]



* Done on a massive scale in the ''{{Halo}}'' fanfiction ''[[FanFic/EnemyOfMyEnemy Enemy of My Enemy]]'', where what starts as a tense EnemyMine situation soon leads to humans & Elites fighting together like brothers. A good example is [[TheHeart Flight Officer Perry]] and [[BoisterousBruiser Helmsman Zuka]].

Although the last actual scene shows that the Raven Guard vanished, leaving the WhiteScars with plenty of questions, taking the woman who had been prisoner, and the WhiteScars were rather annoyed.

* Garlot and Leon in ''BlazeUnion'', a pair of knights who have both been screwed over by the corrupt political system--Garlot growing up as one of the country's much-abused peasants, and Leon having his face scarred and losing his job and standing as an Imperial guard after his parents were executed as scapegoats to prevent a [[NoodleIncident national crisis]]. The two of them meet, Leon picks a fight, and his shock and humiliation after losing cause him to become positively obsessed with defeating Garlot. One offer of employment from another of Garlot's enemies, many more battles, a realization that Leon is being used, an emotional final confrontation in a [[DoomedHometown burning city]], boatloads of FoeYay, and a race against time on Garlot's part to save Leon later, they are steadfast friends and teammates.
