This might be because the two forces are similar yet different, Fire and Electricity are both forms and sources of energy. Both are destructive in an uncontrolled state. Both [[LightEmUp give off light]]. Both are symbols of life -- lightning of the giving of life, and fire of the saving of life. Both are symbols of power. Both have been used as symbols of divine anger. Both have been used to represent technological advancements. Lightning is direct but short, fire takes its time. Lightning can set things on fire, and fire used right can generate electricity. Both are part of an [[FireIceLightning elemental trinity]]. People of ancient times used to think that lightning was celestial fire. These reasons are used to underscore the similarities aspect.

This might be because these are the only two elements that are very rarely portrayed to have a weakness or resistance to the other. When these two forces clash, the result is often a draw.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': The leader of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, Captain Genryūsai Yamamoto, holds what is considered the most powerful fire-type Zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka. Its Bankai, Zanka no Tachi, is capable of instantly drying the air itself, harnessing heat equivalent to that of the Sun, and even re-animating the bones and ashes of fallen enemies. His liutentant, Chojiro Sasakibe, holds a Zanpakuto named Gonryomaru, a traditional western rapier with electrical abilities. His Bankai is Kōkō Gonryō Rikyū, which is said to be able to control the weather by calling down thunderstorms and bolts of lightning.

Even outside their elements, their basic skillset are basically mirrors of each other. P3 Hero learns both physical and magical fire attacks, Dekaja (remove buffs from enemies) and his unique ability is Debilitate (debuff all stats of an enemy).

** ''VideoGame/Persona5'' gives us Ryuji Sakamoto and Ann Takamaki, whose Personas use lightning and fire respectively. Ryuji is a MightyGlacier with lots of health and endurance but also the team's worst magic who mainly relies on hard-hitting physical attacks while Ann is a GlassCannon with the team's strongest magic, and each learns a skill which multiplies the power of the next attack they use, with Ryuji having the physical-boosting Charge and Ann the magic-boosting Concentrate. Their ultimate Personas also resist each other's element, and in ''Royal'' their third-tier Personas get whole-party versions of Charge and Concentrate respectively. This contrast even extends to their characters: both are the [[DumbBlonde Dumb Blondes]] of the team (although Ryuji dyes his) with poor grades at school and video game addictions, but Ryuji (a former athlete) is very aware and knowledgeable about fitness training and nutrition and enjoys eating meat, while Ann doesn't even slightly care about her diet or physical activity, only having good enough looks to be a model thanks to her genetics, and is shown eating lots of sweets. Both are also founding members of the Phantom Thieves alongside you and Morgana, with both having severe grievances with the game's first boss which made them join you in the first place.
