* The two-parter {{OAV}} story "Akane and Her Sisters" for ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' has Natsume and Kurumi "Tendo", who are both skilled in the arts of KiManipulation. Natsume is AnIcePerson, able to generate super-frigid ki through her rug beater, whilst Kurumi [[PlayingWithFire can generate intense heat from her ribbon]]. Their ultimate technique is a CombinationAttack called the Ring of Dragon's Fire, where Kurumi spins her fiery ribbon in a horizontal spiral before Natsume launches a bolt of cold ki down its center. The interplay of heat and cold amplifies the projectile into a KameHameHadoken-style super energy blast.

* In ''Manhua/TalesOfDemonsAndGods'', one of Nie Li's more powerful demon spirits is the Fanged Panda. While generally decried as weak and useless, much like all of Nie Li's abilities, it's simply got a slow and steady growth... and one of its most powerful abilities is literally called the 'Yin-Yang Bomb', firing two balls of light and dark which combine to hit ''hard''.

** Flazzard himself is this, since his left side is made of flaming rocks and his right side is made of ice. This allows him to both use and parry magic of both elements. On top of that, he can summon a tower of each element to create a Curse Field, an area where [[AntiMagic all magic is negated]] and everyone's physical strength is cut in half - except that, due to his own dual nature, he is completely immune to the field's effects.

* ''VideoGame/{{Magicka}}'' gives you lots of opposites. While combining them yourself is impossible, you and another sorcerer can combine opposites (for example, Life and Arcane), which will generate a devastating [[StuffBlowingUp Antipodal Blast.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Magicka}}'' gives you lots of opposites. While combining them ''VideoGame/{{Magicka}}'': Any element has one or two elements which oppose it. Trying to invoke opposites in one spell by yourself is impossible, you and another sorcerer can combine impossible as they'll simply nullify each other. Instead, if two different mages cross beams which contain elemental opposites (for example, (the most basic example is pure Life and Arcane), against pure Arcane, which will generate are the elements responsible for shaping spells into beams unless overridden by higher priority elements, or for a different example Arcane+Lightning colliding with Arcane+Water) then at the point of intersection a devastating [[StuffBlowingUp Antipodal Blast.]]blast of energies will promptly occur, while the feedback forces mages responsible to stop channeling their beams. Just the kinetic energy from that explosion will likely smear anyone caught in its radius across walls. ''VideoGame/Magicka2'' changes this mechanic: the explosion doesn't occur instantly, but first has a small black orb SuckingInLines for a short while, then releases an even more impressively looking blast, complete with a border of InstantRunes and some variations depending on elements used, such as ice, lightning or steam.



** This wasn't the first time, either. Tassadar channeled High and Dark Templar powers simultaneously to [[HeroicSacrifice kill the Overmind]]. This is also very significant, as the last guy to combine both High Templar and Dark Templar energies was Adun (he used it to distract the Conclave and allow the Dark Ones to escape). As in "En Taro Adun." There's a reason they now say "En Taro Tassadar." And a reason Tassadar is now called the [[MessianicArchetype Twilight Deliverer]].

* In ''Fanfic/TheFreeportVenture'', this turns out to be Sunset's special talent. Rather than just magic in general (like Twilight), Sunset is very good at learning magic that would usually seem like opposites, and knowing one school of magic usually means that she has a good grasp on its opposite as well. For instance, one of her most commonly used spells is to draw heat out of the air to cast pyromancies, and then take the cold that was left behind to cast cryomancies. And since Celestia generally only teaches her students light and good magic, you better believe Sunset dabbles in TheDarkArts.

** ''Anime/YuGiOhARCV'': It's strongly implied that Pendulum Summoning is derived from the energy that is created when something oscillates between two extremes, much like a Pendulum.

Yuya says "Swing, Pendulum of the Soul", when he Pendulum Summons, foreshadowing that [[spoiler: he's both TheHero and the BigBad]]. Pendulum Summoning itself was created when the energies of [[BigBad Z-ARC]] and [[BigGood Ray]] mixed at the climax of their battle.

** Gold Paladin was initially formed from what was left out of the Royal Paladin and Shadow Paladin when both had all of their big players sealed by Void. It combines Royal Paladin's PowerOfFriendship mechanic with Shadow Paladin's YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness mechanic. Many cards need to remove themselves or other cards from the field to activate their effects, though more frequently sending them back to the deck or to the soul than outright retiring. They then replace their lost board presence with cost-effective, but unreliable superior calls, along with having cards that reward calling multiple units from the deck.

* An issue of ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' subverts this, where ChromeChampion Steeljack faces off against a FireIceDuo of thugs. They blast him simultaneously with both their powers... but as it turns out, while the ice guy could have frozen him solid and the fire guy could have melted him to slag, both together just cancels out their temperatures and leaves him with nothing worse than a ruined shirt. Steeljack mentally notes that if they'd alternated their attacks instead, they might have seriously hurt him.
* In ''ComicBook/BlackMoonChronicles'', the thief Pile-ou-Face is dual-wielding [[TalkingWeapon two intelligent swords]], one good and one evil. A prequel comic shows how he came to possess them, after walking on an evil warrior and a paladin fighting with said swords, and scoring a MutualKill (to their weapons' frustration). Both swords then urged Pile-ou-Face to pick up one and destroy the other. Instead he grabbed both, ignoring their recriminations.
