* In the Story Mode of ''VideoGame/MortalKombat9'', the heroes get into fights with each other a lot, either via misunderstandings or just plain getting angry at one another. (Most of the latter examples involve Johnny Cage, who acts like a jerk a ''lot'' over the course of the story.)

* FamiliarOfZero has what is perhaps one of the most ''satisfying'' one of these ever in its backstory: the birth of [[PlayingWithFire Kirche]] and [[AnIcePerson Tabitha's]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners friendship.]] A number of girls were jealous that Kirche was stealing all the boys, and teamed up with a boy who Tabitha had humiliated in duel. At a dance the boy used wind to shred Kirche's dress, leaving her naked. He then offered her his coat and told her Tabitha was responsible, which Kirche found reasonable because she had teased Tabitha earlier in the year. When Kirche confronted Tabitha, she told Kirche that she had nothing to do with it and walked away. Then Tabitha returns to her room to find her book collection scorched, and immediately walks over to Kirche's room and accepts the challenge to a duel (this was done by the jealous girls).
** They go to the courtyard to fight and after one exchange of spells ''immediately'' realize that they were set up and team up to find and punish the real culprits.

* Happens between the ''ComicBook/AvengersAcademy'' Students and Comicbook/TheAvengers in Issue #21 then again between the students and the ComicBook/{{X-Men}} in the next issue!

* During ''FanFic/FantasyOfUtterRidiculousness'', Suika Ibuki accuses Coop---and Megas by extension---of stealing her prized sake gourd. Not knowing who she was or what she was talking about, Coop denies it and rebuffs Alice when she tries to warn him that it wasn't an ordinary little girl he was dealing with. This prompts Suika to super-size herself and punch Megas away from her, followed by her reciting the trope name almost word for word:

--->"Don't wanna give back my drinky-drink? It's a fight you're hankering for, huhhh? ...You want to surpass an oni? You're interested in a fight? Fine with me. ''Let's you and me fight.''"

* In the ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'' [[BadFuture Dark World]] Arc, Twilight's group ''does'' end up fighting with the rest of the mane six due to the others being BrainwashedAndCrazy until Discord's spell was broken. However, this is averted with Applejack and Twilight, who broke Discord's spell independently of one another and when they run into each other mistake the other as still being brainwashed. While Applejack does panic and kick her (leading to a comical moment of Twilight ending up under a Dirt Maid's skirt and being kicked back onto Applejack), they quickly put two and two together (such as Twilight calling her ''Applejack'' instead of Liarjack and Applejack having washed her CoolHat for the first time since the Day of Chaos) and realize the other isn't acting like Twilight Tragedy[=/=]Liarjack. They each quickly realize the other's pulled a HeelFaceTurn and decide to trust each other and team up.

* In ''WebVideo/DeathBattle'', there's usually no excuse for characters fighting each other, even if they're both good guys; it's more like a thought experiment on who would win played out. There are exceptions:

** For the between Franchise/{{Superman}} and [[Manga/DragonBall Son Goku]], when Goku learns of Superman, he assumes Superman is an evil invading alien and launches a preemptive strike. Superman tries to reason with him, but Goku's BloodKnight tendencies make him keep attacking.

* In ''DeathBattle'', there's usually no excuse for characters fighting each other, even if they're both good guys; it's more like a thought experiment on who would win played out. However, for the season-ending fight between {{Superman}} and [[DragonBall Son Goku]], they made up a story for why it was happening, which can basically be summarised as "Goku is dumb."

** This is the basics of Yukumi Hisako's Agitate Halation plan: manipulate ''every'' hero into fighting each other until she has [[{{Ubermensch}} created a world without heroes]].

* In ''MahouSenseiNegima'', the first fight between Negi and Setsuna (in the [[FuroScene furo]]) has distinct overtones of this. Negi loses. [[GroinAttack Painfully]].

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'''s Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc has Touma, Index, and Stiyl fighting the Amakusa Catholics, who seem to have kidnapped Orsola Aquinas. Eventually, it turns out the Amakusa Catholics were trying to ''save'' her, as the Roman Catholic Church was going to have her tortured and executed. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, they all team up to save her.

** The ''[[TheZetaProject Zeta Project]]'' episode "Shadows" sets things up so that, in a spot of havoc by the rogue infiltration unit IU7, [[WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond Batman]] becomes convinced that Zeta has returned to his old ways. Their encounter doesn't have the same visceral satisfaction of many other examples, as Zeta is barely even defending himself.

* A [[BrokenBase very divisive]] variant occurs in ''AvengersArena'', in which Arcade kidnaps a number of young mutants and heroes and forces them to fight each other for his amusement in a parody/ShoutOut to ''BattleRoyale''. The involved heroes are even ''aware'' of his plot right from the start, but it doesn't stop them from beginning to kill each other anyway.

* When Daredevil is tracking down clues in some sewers, Batman almost gets the drop on him, thinking he's the culprit. You'd think a guy who dresses up like a bat wouldn't be so judgemental about a guy who dresses up a devil. Both act OutofCharacter throughout the crossover.

** In what's certainly a MythologyGag, BlackPanther does exactly the same thing to Comicbook/TheAvengers when he reveals himself to them in the

* One issue of the ''Comicbook/SonicTheHedgehog'' comic, "Rogue Rouge", dedicates itself to setting up a surprisingly brutal fight between Bunnie Rabbot and Rouge the Bat. It is a CatFight with a generous amount of {{Fanservice}} and [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] at the end with a page of sheepish "boy, that was silly" dialogue.
