# Literature.TheProblemOfSusan /SpiritualAntithesis: To ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia''. Specifically, Gaiman explores the FridgeHorror implications of the ending of ''Literature/TheLastBattle'' (namely, Susan having to come to terms with the death of her family), and questions Aslan's benevolence in the light of this.[[invoked]] '''unsure'''
# Film.WinnieThePoohBloodAndHoney /SpiritualAntithesis: This film could be seen as a dark counterpart to ''Film/ChristopherRobin'', both films seeing an adult Christopher returning to the Hundred-Acre Wood; where ''Robin'' sees his old friends help Christopher rediscover his childish sense of wonder, ''Blood and Honey'' sees Christopher horrified to witness what his old friends have become. '''unsure'''
# Characters.GodzillaTheGodzillas /SpiritualAntithesis: The 2014 Godzilla was a force of nature predating humanity, and their only hope against dangerous opponents like the MUTO. Shin Godzilla, on the other hand, is a god of destruction created entirely by man's mistakes. '''seems objective'''
# Anime.MegaloBox /SpiritualAntithesis: Overall, the series highlights one of ''Tomorrow's Joe's'' biggest tragedies--the dilemma of the boxers having anything to live for outside the ring. [[spoiler:Many characters in ''Joe'', inlcuding the titular character, end up feeling like boxing is all they have in life, and end up physically and mentally worse for seeking only glory and fulfillment without considering the people around them. However, in ''Megalobox'', a major theme of the second season is ''this'' Joe and others developing bonds with others and deciding to live for their sakes. Even the final battle of the show has Sachio throwing the towel just to spare both Joe and Mac an in-ring death, and Mac is blatantly powered by the care he has for his family. Both men are well aware that ending their title match like this would be unglamorous and lame, but they've already put out a decent showing and they definitely don't mind if they get to come back to their loved ones.]] '''seems objective'''
# Animation.{{Padak}} /SpiritualAntithesis: The film can be seen as one towards ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'', as both of them contrast in tone and narrative themes: While ''Finding Nemo'' starts out in the ocean, ''Padak'' starts out in a Korean fish market. While the ocean is seen as a mysterious place of adventure in ''Finding Nemo'', in ''Padak'', the horrors of the aquarium-based aspects of it are more displayed in view. And even when both share similarities, the main difference is that Nemo gets all the fish in Dr. P. Sherman's tank to escape via uniting them together, in ''Padak'' the hierarchy of the animal kingdom is in full display, and neither of them unite at the end. [[spoiler:Only one manages to escape, and it isn't the titular character, who gets sliced up into sushi; it's the Master who is ultimately convinced to leave the aquarium after seeing Padak's fate.]] '''seems subjective'''

# Recap.TheLoudHouseS2E15BackOutThereSpellItOut /SpiritualAntithesis: The episode resembles a ''[[Recap/TheLoudHouseS2E8NoSuchLuckFrogWild No Such Luck]]'' with a happy ending. In the first, a sibling Loud (Lincoln) feels constrained and suffocated by his family and decides to "bring bad luck" to them in order to gain more freedom, and he succeeds, even committing some acts that "spit in the face" of his family (Lincoln sits in just his underwear on top of Lola's tea table). In the last one, a sibling Loud (Lucy) feels constrained and suffocated by her family and decides to "bring bad luck" to them in order to gain more freedom, and she succeeds, even committing some acts that "spit in the face" of her family (Lucy, apparently, eats the entire refrigerator, and leaves nothing for her siblings). The difference is that in ''No Such Lukh'', Lincoln only realizes his mistake when he sees himself more and more harmed by the family and ends up apologizing for inventing the bad luck story, but in the end, everyone continues to believe that he is bad luck. Already in ''Spell It Out'', Lucy realizes her mistake when she sees her family being harmed more and more and ends up apologizing for bringing bad luck to them, but in the end, everyone laughs and explains that, in fact, she never brought bad luck to them. '''Both are in the same show'''
# VideoGame.AsurasWrath /SpiritualAntithesis: There are many reasons why many refer to it as the Japanese ''VideoGame/GodOfWar''. That said, [[NeverHurtAnInnocent Asura]], to his credit, is much nicer than [[VillainProtagonist Kratos]] is for the most part in the pre-[=PS4=] ''God of War'' games. '''seems subjective'''
# Music.LudwigVanBeethoven /SpiritualAntithesis: Beethoven was prone to compose pieces that starkly contrast each other. The most notable example includes the Symphony No. 5 and Symphony No. 6. Both works are built from a similar rhythmic idea, but one is compact and potent with concentrated energy emphasized over orchestral color, while the other is expansive and lyrical with programmatic elements.
# Manga.WhenWillAyumuMakeHisMove /SpiritualAntithesis: Both Ayumu and Urushi can be seen as this to Nishikata and Takagi from fellow sister work, ''Manga/TeasingMasterTakagiSan''. While Nishikata gets flustered pretty easily from Takagi's constant teasing, Ayumu remains unfazed from Urushi's attempts. Additionally, Takagi is easily able to thwart Nishikata's attempts to tease her, while Urushi's attempts to tease Ayumu backfire on her at times, making herself flustered instead.

# ''Manga.{{Beastars}}'' /SpiritualAntithesis: To WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}. Both stories deal with the tension that exists between predators and prey animals in an [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals animal-dominated world]], and how the characters deal with it. However, thematically they are quite different. In Zootopia, there is a historic tension between predator and prey, but the creative team has set up a world that gives predators a reason for not desiring to eat prey anymore. They allow them to eat meat for protein as fish and bugs did not evolve into sapience and the city was founded by a joint decision of the evolved predators and prey. Also there is no evidence in the film that predators are struggling to contain their base instincts and it takes a PsychoSerum to bring out their savage side. In Beastars, different species really do have different urges, with predators having to learn to control their predatory urges or otherwise indulge in them on the down-low. It's a society where the VegetarianCarnivore trope is enforced, prey animals have a constant awareness that they could be eaten and it's unclear why these evolved predator and prey would choose to live in close contact with each other under these conditions. '''this reads as subjective from what I know of both series'''

# ''Manga/MetroidSamusAndJoey'' /SpiritualAntithesis: To ''VideoGame/MetroidOtherM''. '''All of the below seems objective'''
** Where ''Other M'' sets out to be more realistic than other Metroid titles and to depict Samus as a broken person, ''Samus and Joey'' runs largely on RuleOfCool and goes out of its way to make Samus a badass IdealHero.
** While both stories include the element that Samus's Power Suit is tied to her strength of will, ''Other M'' treats this as a weakness by having it turn off when she gets scared, while ''Samus and Joey'' treats it as a strength by letting Samus power up her suit through HeroicResolve.
** Additionally, while ''Other M'' was infamous for featuring Samus out of her armor far more often than other games and emphasizing her femininity at every turn, ''Samus and Joey'' is notable for having Samus [[TwentyFourHourArmor stay in her armor nearly all the time]] and treats her gender as largely irrelevant to who she is.
** ''Other M'' goes out of its way to depict Samus as silent and stoic, and she rarely emotes. ''Samus and Joey'' allows her to run a wider emotional gamut, and she's ''constantly'' dropping one-liners.

While both manga are published by ''Magazine/MangaTimeKirara'' (though ''K-On!'' ran in the main magazine, while Bocchi runs in Max) and focus on a group of high school girls coming together to form a band, Bocchi isn't as idealistic; it has a more cynical sense of humor (especially in regards to [[ShrinkingViolet Hitori's extreme social anxiety]] as she struggles to connect with her bandmates) and it also shows how difficult it can actually be for a band to become famous. In fact, according to Bocchi's creator, several decisions about the story and characters were deliberately made to differentiate it from K-On!.

# ''Anime/RedoOfHealer'' /SpiritualAntithesis: To the more well-known work ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero''.

In this show, Robotnik is extremely menacing, has already conquered most of the world, and Sonic is one of the few people who stand between him and total world domination. '''unsure'''
# SpiritualAntithesis: To VideoGame/Arknights in terms of storytelling, despite their similar post-apocalyptic worldbuilding, the conflicts within the settings are portrayed in opposite fashion, while Alchemy stars has you finding out the darker secrets lurking in the colourful scenery, Arknights has you finding the rays of hope in the grim, hostile land brimmed with catastrophe, war, and discrimination everywhere; The doctor and The navigator [[{{Foil}} have opposite background]] for their characterization. '''seems objective'''
# YMMV.TheGoodPlaceS4E12Patty /SpiritualAntithesis: To the ''Series/BlackMirror'' episode "[[Recap/BlackMirrorSanJunipero San Junipero]]," which takes the opposite view of an afterlife of the type portrayed here. '''ZCE'''
# ''VideoGame.{{Deltarune}}'' /SpiritualAntithesis: To ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', which was all about player choice and the consequences therein, while Deltarune thus far [[ButThouMust regularly denies the player the privilege of making any meaningful choices]]. '''made the [[Creator/TobyFox same person]]'''
# ''Music.SakuraGakuin'' /SpiritualAntithesis: Sort of. One of Mori-sensei's biggest gripes with the 2016 nendo Seniors, Sara and Mirena, was that they pretty much agreed on anything. Cue the 2017 nendo seniors who, towards the end of the year, often talked about having fights and disagreements during lessons in the early days of the nendo, many times even making their juniors worry about them. '''unsure'''
# ''Film.WarOfTheWorlds2005'' /SpiritualAntithesis: To Spielberg's own E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. While E.T. had a very innocent tone, featured a friendly alien, and was told from a child's perspective, this movie is very dark and cynical, features a hostile alien invasion, and is told from an adult perspective. '''both are made by Speilberg'''
# SpiritualAntithesis.AnimeAndManga /''Manga/BocchiTheRock'' is regarded by many as being the anti-''Manga/KOn''. While both manga are published by ''Magazine/MangaTimeKirara'' (though ''K-On!'' ran in the main magazine, while Bocchi runs in Max) and focus on a group of high school girls coming together to form a band, Bocchi isn't as idealistic; it has a more cynical sense of humor (especially in regards to [[ShrinkingViolet Hitori's extreme social anxiety]] as she struggles to connect with her bandmates) and it also shows how difficult it can actually be for a band to become famous. In fact, according to Bocchi's creator, several decisions about the story and characters were deliberately made to differentiate it from K-On!. '''Hamaji did state she made Bocchi the exact opposite of Yui so I can safely say it's objective on the creators part'''
# ''Anime/RedoOfHealer'' /SpiritualAntithesis: To the more well-known work ''LightNovel/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero''. Both explore similar themes: in a CrapsackWorld, the [[WideEyedIdealist idealistic protagonist]]'s [[SupportPartyMember support-focused power]] causes him to [[TheWoobie be harshly mistreated]] by a party of [[InNameOnly so-called "heroes"]], [[CynicismCatalyst leading him to develop a bleak outlook]] and set out on a quest for {{revenge}}. However, ''Shield Hero'' ultimately focuses on the friendships Naofumi develops and how they help him ''[[MeaningfulName rise]]'' above his anger and hatred (represented by his [[EvilWeapon Cursed Shield]]) and become a true hero. ''Redo'' dials the cynicism factor up to eleven, giving us a vengeance-bent protagonist who has basically thrown away [[ALighterShadeOfBlack most]] of his humanity, whose harem members are either {{brainwashed}} or '''also''' obsessed with vengeance. '''seems like a fan analysis'''
# Characters.KillLaKillSatsukiKiryuin /SpiritualAntithesis: To [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt Stocking Anarchy]]. Both are long-haired [[MasterSwordsMan swordfighters]] who have a rivalry with the other main character [[spoiler:and their sister]]. The difference is that Satsuki is a noble AntiVillain who [[spoiler:was GoodAllAlong and ends up in a loving relationship with her sister]], while Stocking is an AntiHero bordering on VillainProtagonist who [[spoiler:was EvilAllAlong and kills her sister in cold blood]]. '''Since Trigger is made of former Gainax employees, this can be added to the same creator category'''
# ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'' /SpiritualAntithesis: To ''WesternAnimationAdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog''. In that cartoon, Sonic is just in for a thrill, and Dr. Robotnik is goofy and incompetent. In this show, Robotnik is extremely menacing, has already conquered most of the world, and Sonic is one of the few people who stand between him and total world domination. '''unsure'''

It's been noted on this wiki that SpiritualAntithesis has a more subjective approach to it. So, I decided to check if there are any problems.
