History Main / YinYangBomb

** Xemnas uses a yin-yang bomb style of attacking in the final battle, throwing out beams of darkness and light. Xemnas even trades out his trademark black robe for a [[strike: robe of black and white swirls]] Zebra suit.

*** [[NoExportForYou If you live outside Japan and haven't looked it up, you'd never know]], but in Kingdom Hearts II, Sora gets the Two Become One keyblade after defeating Roxas. The keyblade itself is coverd in silver, white, and black sections, symbolizing a combination of Sora's light and darkness (and his combining with Roxas). Its special effect is called "Light and Darkness", which causes him to, when he Drives, become either Final Form, as described above, or Anti Form, a shadowy Heartless-like Sora, no matter which (usually low-cost) Drive form you actually ''chose''. In this case, Final Form represents light, and Anti Form represents Darkness.

* Dante of ''DevilMayCry'' fame, with [[GunsAkimbo Ebony and Ivory]].
** Except that Ebony and Ivory are just mundane handguns. (Well, mundane except for the BottomlessMagazines.) Just because one is black and one is white, you needn't assume [[DarkIsNotEvil one is evil]] and [[LightIsNotGood one is good.]] On the other hand, what about Dante ''himself.'' Half demon and half human, he gets the strength and the inclination to take on the [[WorthyOpponent (''almost'' invariably)]] obscenely large bosses of the games. That said, this might just be DarkIsNotEvil again.
** However, Dante could still be considered an example as he uses both demonic and human weapons. In the third game, Vergil hates humans, and exclusively uses demonic weapons, and Lady hates demons, and uses ordinary human guns. Dante's usage of both types of weapons proves to be more powerful.

*** Not that anyone is complaining about this.
*** [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} I am!]]
*** [[OmnicidalManiac Me too...]]
*** 'Course, one possibility is there was a ''teeny weeny tiny'' bit more matter than antimatter before it all blew up, and that that teeny weeny tiny bit left over became all the extant mass of the universe.
**** That's not just a possibility, that's pretty much what must have happened, as we have all this regular mater and no wide swaths of gamma ray emission that would indicate regions of matter and anti-matter interacting with each other. If there is an apreciable amount of anti-matter anywhere in the universe, be it planet, solar system or galaxy, when the tenous flow of the intergalactic medium interacts with it would light up like roman candle. gamma sources that behave like that is a very strong suggestion for no antimatter of any relevant size.
**** Did somebody say [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j50ZssEojtM "Large Hadron Collider!?"]]
*** Pf course, there is, as always, an [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation alternative]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_interaction_of_antimatter#Motivations_for_antigravity theory]] and, before you ask, YES, they are readying the LHC to test the theory (building {{Yin Yang Bomb}}s ForScience it must be the unofficial moto of of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cern the CERN]])[[hottip:*: This is incorrect, of course, their actual unofficial motto is "By hook or by crook, we'll keep working on this thing until it gives us some bloody superpowers, dammit".]]

** Extra fun: Lucemon's attack combining the two ends up being a sphere surrounding the heroes which is covered in triangle, circle, square, and 'x' shapes. Essentially, the villain's super-powerful attack is Playstation.
*** I am ''so'' glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.

*** He also briefly mixes Sage Mode with his Kyuubi chakra, making [[http://manga.animea.net/naruto-chapter-444-page-4.html this]]. Pity we [[MissedMomentOfAwesome don't get to see it in action]].
**** [[ChekovsGun Yet.]]

* The ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' card game plays with this, the main example being the now infamous "[[GameBreaker Chaos]]" archtype (which has been banned for years but radically shifted the metagame), consisting of three monsters summoned by removing from play a Dark-Attribute monster and a Light-Attribute monster. There are plenty of cards that act similar, but the most prominent example is the appropriately named "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Light and Darkness Dragon]]", the only monster to have ''two'' attributes (Light and Dark, obviously) simultaneously. That and, well, [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090618032117/yugioh/images/7/78/LightandDarknessDragonYG01-EN-ScR-LE.png just look at it]]

* Most of the universe is composed of Matter. Antimatter is its exact opposite. Mixing the two will invariably result in annihilation, a technical term meaning all their mass is converted to energy. Keep in mind that the energy of an object is the mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light (E=MC^2). You get a very big boom. Fortunately, most of the anti-matter in the universe seems to have exploded already.

** If you explore ''during'' Michaela's battle, you'll find the White Ring, Black Ring and Evil Ring. Though it may not sound like it, the Light Ring is statistically the YinYangBomb. It's cursed just like the Evil Ring, but it's the only ring that can only be equipped to the hero, and in battle it perfectly complements the White Ring. The Evil Ring is only a DiscOneNuke.

* In ''[[{{D Gray-Man}} D.Gray-man]]'', Allen has the power of Innocence to destroy akuma as well as having powers from an akuma curse. [[spoiler: As well as those of the 14th Noah, the Musician.]]

** Solrock and Lunatone, also, who you face in a double battle with Liza and Tate in ''[[{{ptitlei015gc004kw4}} Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire]].''

* ''[[{{Metroid}} Metroid Prime 2]]'' gave Samus a Light Beam and a Dark Beam. Later, she put them together into the Annihilator Beam.

* Wes from ''[[{{ptitle7dxrh9xx}} Pokémon Colosseum]]'', with his Espeon and Umbreon.

It's cursed just like the Evil Ring, but it's the only ring that can only be equipped to the hero, and in battle it perfectly complements the White Ring. The Evil Ring is only a DiscOneNuke.

** And in SoulCalibur IV, Talim's final weapons (she uses a pair of "elbow blades") are Soul Edge and Soul Calibur: one in each hand.
** Also in SoulCalibur IV, Kilik's ultimate weapon is Embrace of Souls, a fusion of Soul Calibur and Soul Edge that leaves both swords inert (though still powerful), in staff form.

* The [[NeglectfulPrecursors Xel'naga]] temple in {{Starcraft}} [[ExpansionPack Brood War]] requires both the Uraj crystal, powered by High Templar energies, and the Khalis crystal, infused with Dark Templar power, in order to activate and blow everything within a wide radius straight to Hell on the armageddon express.

*** The Twilight Archon in Starcraft 2 was planned to be this, a combination of a Dark Templar with a High (Light) Templar. Then the unit was replaced by the normal Archon, the only difference is that now it forms as a combination of any two Templar units regardless of their alignment. So it ''can'' be a yin-yang bomb, but doesn't have to be.

*** He also briefly mixes Sage Mode with his Kyuubi chakra, making [[http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/444/06/ this]]. Pity we [[MissedMomentOfAwesome don't get to see it in action]].

*** Negi's "Dark Magic", however, as described in the [[AllThereInTheManual supplemental materials]], rely upon a long stream of ([[ShownTheirWork cited and footnoted]]) psychobabble that essentially says that, unlike the diametrically opposed Ying/Yang power of Kankaho, the darkness of Dark Magic is all-encompassing, and even includes the powers of light. (Including some references to Erebos and Aether from mythology for good measure.) By embracing the all-encompassing darkness, he can still control powers of light, since they do not oppose, but the danger of the spell comes from the way that he stretches his sense of self so thin that he can lose control of his own powers.
*** [[spoiler:Or transform into a [[OneWingedAngel monstrous]] [[SuperpoweredEvilSide daemon]] in the event of all-consuming UnstoppableRage. Which is also apparently tied to magical overdosing.]].
* In ''YuYuHakusho'', after [[spoiler:being reborn as a half-demon, going to the Demon World, and setting up a tournament with ''unquestioned rule over all Demon World'' as the grand prize]], Yusuke [[spoiler:mixes his human Spirit Energy and his demonic energy together to enter a sort of super mode. The last time we saw anything like this, the character using it managed to beat almost the entire main cast at the same time, and the powerup for Yusuke is rather similar.]]

** Attempted towards the end of the NewJediOrder, when authors came up with the revelation that there is no Light Side or Dark Side, therefore it's okay for Jedi to use Force Lightning and draw on their anger. They pulled an AuthorsSavingThrow almost immediately after that.
