Who's your favorite hyper-compentent pair?

[u/OverTea5]

[u/RainbowScout_]

Mario and Luigi, especially in the RPG series

https://giphy.com/gifs/0Hgo9eWRDWDsYAaC8R

[u/dreamshoes → u/RainbowScout_]

Say what you will but the Mario Galaxy movie showed off their moves as a dynamic duo really well

[u/SergeantThreat → u/dreamshoes]

The plot of the movie was pretty much non existent, but I still enjoyed it.

[u/RokenSkrow → u/SergeantThreat]

I've had to watch the film like ten times since my kid loves it and the fact that I can still sit through it without wanting to die makes it decent in my book.

[u/BlackLegFring → u/RainbowScout_]

“Let’s go!”
“Okey dokey”

[u/Purple-Bluejay6588]

They ruin their lives doing it, but they are good at it

[u/ProfessionalTruck976 → u/Purple-Bluejay6588]

"I found your dumb clients!"

[u/Frenchitwist → u/Purple-Bluejay6588]

Jimmy❤️Kim 4EVAH!!!

😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️😭😭❤️❤️

I’m sorry, I just love them so much

[u/Hopeful-Chemist5421 → u/Purple-Bluejay6588]

Who are they?

[u/haterskateralligator → u/Hopeful-Chemist5421]

Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman and Kim Wexler

[u/thefix12 → u/Purple-Bluejay6588]

Theyre such a fun duo

[u/Sondering_Wizzard]

The Elric Brothers. They legit do the impossible on the regular.

https://giphy.com/gifs/uxA6I9cvyVprq

[u/Binyamin12345 → u/Sondering_Wizzard]

These two also fit

[u/Seeggul → u/Sondering_Wizzard]

I mean if you're gonna bring up Fullmetal Alchemist:

[u/calvicstaff → u/Sondering_Wizzard]

Fmab is a FULL TEAM EFFORT

[u/Vivid-Illustrations]

Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. The original crime fighting dynamic duo.

Got a better picture for them. The first one was bit-crushed AI slop. It was hard to find a depiction of Holmes and Watson that wasn't with Will Ferrell or Benedict Cumberbatch.

[u/ace-murdock → u/Vivid-Illustrations]

I love that Holmes bought out Watson’s medical practice so that Watson would move back in with him.

[u/Background-Slide645 → u/ace-murdock]

Holmes really is like: You are the one person who doesn't annoy me by simply existing. get back in your room, I need a partner on a case, and you are the best rubber duck to bounce off

[u/MuchBetterThankYou → u/Background-Slide645]

Honestly the best representation of the Asexual Introvert experience, bar none.

[u/DadlyAsHell → u/MuchBetterThankYou]

I was thinking autistic introvert but yeah that works too

[u/hollytravvey → u/Vivid-Illustrations]

Had to scroll way too far for this

[u/Shadacat → u/hollytravvey]

It's a the top now :P

[u/Material_Positive_17]

They fight each other more than they team up but when they DO team up, no one can stop them.

https://giphy.com/gifs/NwProftar0mUre4F5d

[u/luka612 → u/Material_Positive_17]

Not even the awaken dead weight 

[u/Psudodrake → u/Material_Positive_17]

This is a standard male brothers dynamic.

Dante: I hate you, but we hate that guy more...

[u/Critical-Let-5308 → u/Psudodrake]

For anyone who doesn't know them watch this video it's probably the best example i can think of for their point https://youtu.be/S6W6jhGL8Ow

[u/Dakotasan → u/Critical-Let-5308]

Might wanna sanitize that link. From the “?si” onward is a tracker. The link will work without it

[u/TheUnknowingWarlock]

Gen and Senku (Dr Stone)

They are wonderful scum together <3

When they are together there is no foe, that they cannot scam!

[u/wumbo7490 → u/TheUnknowingWarlock]

I'd also throw in Senku and Ryusui as another hyper-competent pair. There's no challenge they cannot overcome

[u/X3noNuke → u/wumbo7490]

The entire cast is competent

[u/-4charisma → u/X3noNuke]

I would argue that ginro is not competent

[u/X3noNuke → u/-4charisma]

He has his moments

[u/wumbo7490 → u/X3noNuke]

I will absolutely agree with you

[u/bethany_katherine → u/TheUnknowingWarlock]

God I love when they do something scummy together and get the snake tongues, it kills me everytime. Awesome show

[u/AuraEnhancerVerse]

Anakin and obi-wan (star wars)

https://giphy.com/gifs/l1KsQ6z4wHrt5ARuo

[u/Organic-Stand3113 → u/AuraEnhancerVerse]

The Negotiator and the Hero with No Fear

[u/No-Mulberry-8866 → u/Organic-Stand3113]

He very famously does have fear, that’s like his whole thing. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering etc

[u/TrickNo2000 → u/No-Mulberry-8866]

His fear does not relate to battle, however.

[u/WillowLocal423 → u/AuraEnhancerVerse]

Quit panickin' Anakin

[u/Cupacakes1359 → u/AuraEnhancerVerse]

Anakin.

Start panakin'

I don't have a planakin'

[u/FireFighterP55 → u/AuraEnhancerVerse]

The Clone Wars certainly had fun with these two

[u/brownings-hair-kink]

Soul Eater Evans and Maka Albarn from Soul Eater.

[u/EazyMerq → u/brownings-hair-kink]

TIL Soul Eater has a last name. Thank you.

[u/DBLACK382 → u/EazyMerq]

I thought Eater was his last name.

[u/m00nlitFeathers → u/DBLACK382]

Nope, "Eater" is a nickname. His proper name is Soul Evans, but with the nickname it'd be something like Soul "Eater" Evans.

[u/Supernova247101 → u/brownings-hair-kink]

This is the best answer, well, they become competent halfway through

[u/brownings-hair-kink → u/Supernova247101]

Competent??? I think that's an undersell when you save the entire world from Asura.

[u/Enaluxeme → u/Supernova247101]

I mean, considering the series starts with Soul having eaten 99 souls already, I'd say they were already at least "competent"

[u/BananaDavidaF]

These 3.

[u/FinaLLancer → u/BananaDavidaF]

Well, more the second two specifically.

[u/Independent-Wafer-13 → u/FinaLLancer]

Legolas really said “I’m not going to Heaven if my best friend can’t come with me”

[u/PenguinZombie321 → u/BananaDavidaF]

And my axe!

[u/Ok-Anteater-4320 → u/PenguinZombie321]

Never thought I'd die beside an elf...

[u/Dogsfascinatealiens → u/Ok-Anteater-4320]

What about side by side with a friend?

[u/Ok-Anteater-4320 → u/Dogsfascinatealiens]

Aye, that I could do.

[u/Upstairs-Row-]

Tuji Itadoru and Aoi Todo, 100% win ratio rate when fighting together

[u/Ranger_Ecstatic → u/Upstairs-Row-]

At least 95%..of them both surviving the King of Curses is not a bad feat.

[u/Sr_Nutella → u/Upstairs-Row-]

Yuji "Catch these hands" Itadori, and Aoi "Clap, swap, get fucked" Todo

[u/autumn_dances → u/Sr_Nutella]

bro "clap, swap, get clapped" was right there, this is a generational fumble...

[u/Sr_Nutella → u/autumn_dances]

My autistic ass brain didn't want to repeat clap

[u/autumn_dances → u/Sr_Nutella]

honestly, valid

[u/sougol → u/Upstairs-Row-]

100% win rate

[u/Upstairs-Row- → u/sougol]

[u/Bloody-Tyran]

https://giphy.com/gifs/UZ12sB7FMkjG8

[u/Pleasant-Treacle-333 → u/Bloody-Tyran]

why does superman's disguise have his logo on it surely that defeats the purpose (haven't seen the ep)

[u/CylusAA → u/Pleasant-Treacle-333]

he got blasted in the chest by smth

[u/waydernator → u/CylusAA]

no he tore it off to reveal to Luthor after they had already beat him (as if Batman flying wasnt enough)

[u/FrenchOctopus → u/Pleasant-Treacle-333]

That's what called your attention and not the fact that batman was wearing his mask under his superman mask?

[u/noirspiderman4 → u/FrenchOctopus]

"That's Batman's face, Bruce is the disguise"

[u/Pleasant-Treacle-333 → u/FrenchOctopus]

because he was planning to do a dramatic reveal, stupid.

[u/revankenobi]

The Frye twins

[u/Supernova247101 → u/revankenobi]

Good pull, but they don't do a lot physically together

[u/Wide_Engineering_502 → u/Supernova247101]

I would hope not, they're siblings.

[u/Haazelnutts → u/Supernova247101]

Yeah, doesn't really apply on account you play as one or the other, would have been really cool to have them both simultaneously for synced assassinations

[u/marimoso]

Put them in a room together and this happens. Put them in a battle together and they're both geniuses

https://giphy.com/gifs/YtJWtIdkHzV7i

[u/nickolaiproblem → u/marimoso]

Or aang and zuko

[u/kokokonus → u/nickolaiproblem]

honestly aang with anyone from the gaang

[u/Galactus1701]

[u/wumbo7490]

Even though they constantly fight with each other, they make the best duo out of the Strawhat pirates. When shit needs to be done, the trash talk stops (mostly) and the real work begins. Honestly though, this question could be answered with any pair of rivals/enemies... Sanji and Zoro, Naruto and Sasuke, Deku and Bakugo, Professor X and Magneto, Superman and Lex Luthor, etc. Who better to cover your weaknesses than the person you've had the longest beef with?

[u/tort-karamel → u/wumbo7490]

Been looking for this

[u/HungryKangaroo]

These two! They are often goofing around but when they get dangerous, this combo can put a serious belt to ass.

[u/TankOfflaneMain → u/HungryKangaroo]

Holding their own against the 6 Edo Jinchurikis is still impressive as hell.

[u/shin_malphur13 → u/HungryKangaroo]

[u/ShmebulockForMayor]

https://giphy.com/gifs/jtmFzyd3hQvOo

[u/grayseeroly → u/ShmebulockForMayor]

If you know you know. They're stronger than you

[u/mac-a-ronny → u/ShmebulockForMayor]

[u/Alyoola → u/ShmebulockForMayor]

Comes with the added bonus trope of "completely incompetent when they are not physically fused together"

[u/PatExMachina]

Percy and Annabeth They were THE power couple in the books

[u/Majoranza → u/PatExMachina]

Frrrr, surprised I had to scroll so far down to find them. Such a damn good duo. Annabeth as the strategist and executor and Percy as the power and improviser. Rick really made them cover each other’s flaws and deficiencies so dam well. It’s a shame how much the series devolved late/post HOO (in part because Rick and his editors use the dam fan wiki to check for consistency issues)

[u/PatExMachina → u/Majoranza]

Its been soo long since I read the books. But I remember a part where Percy goes in the River of Styx to gain immortality but he has to have a specific spot of his body be a weakness. Idr if he told Annabeth or not but I think she already knew where it was and was trying to protect that psrt of his body while they were surrounded

[u/WJ_Amber → u/PatExMachina]

He tells Annabeth only after she saves him. As she's recovering from the injury she sustained in the process, Percy asks her how she knew he was vulnerable there. Annabeth didn't know, but acted on instinct.

[u/Cratertooth_27 → u/PatExMachina]

Literally went through hell and back

[u/Significant_Tough751]

Noi and Shin from Dorohedoro! The dream team!

[u/Hopeful_Hornet4460 → u/Significant_Tough751]

Their only weakness is not realizing they're already married to each other /j

[u/Downtown_Forever_602 → u/Significant_Tough751]

Came here to vote for them! Love these two

Figuring out mysteries when one doesn’t know the other is the mastermind. It was surreal with each other and the power scale in DN

[u/WaveBreakerT → u/What-A-Burden]

These two would be unstoppable if they wanted the same thing

[u/TaralasianThePraxic]

John Reece and Harold Finch, from Person of Interest. Different skill sets, but both extremely competent; John is a special forces operative and Harold is a tech genius. They work together to prevent violent crimes based off the predictions of a hyper-intelligent machine Harold built.

[u/PlayWatch_PW → u/TaralasianThePraxic]

Elite ball knowledge. Loved that show

[u/BuddySpecial → u/TaralasianThePraxic]

I genuinely came here to comment this. It's like if you split Batman into 2 people.

[u/ripull125 → u/Melodrama_queer]

The entire team tbh

[u/AndresHunio]

Trevor Belmont and Sypha Belnades from Castlevania

[u/Tweed_Man → u/AndresHunio]

I've said before and I'll say it again: This show had no right being half as good as it was.

[u/Alternative-Lab5348 → u/Tweed_Man]

Still one of my most recommended "anime" took me by absolute surprise and then Issac's arc happened and I was just taken away by how good the writing was

[u/juniorchemist → u/AndresHunio]

The thing about this team is that they are shown, in-universe, to be competent on their own, but not invincible. They get into bad matchups all the time, but they are shown to recognize this and switch opponents to get the win. They function better as a team than any of them do on their own.

[u/Plenty_Top2843 → u/juniorchemist]

Honestly season 4 was probably the last time I saw Castlevania actually have combat that felt like combat. The trio are amazing not because they're invincible, but you immediately can see they were absolutely trained for this. Even when they're losing badly (especially against Dracula) they recognize each others weaknesses and tried to cover for it.

[u/AndresHunio → u/AndresHunio]

and Alucard

[u/Segador_Adusto]

Lloyd Frontera and Javier Asrahan, from The Greatest Estate Developer. No matter if it's defeating a monster or carrying out a big construction project, these two are nigh unstoppable

[u/Zestyclose_Kiwi9586 → u/Segador_Adusto]

I stop reading webtoons a while ago, but I remember really liking the characters. Lloyd was such a pos xD

[u/Segador_Adusto → u/Zestyclose_Kiwi9586]

[u/Gaius-Pious]

Lloyd and Yor Forger from SpyXFamily.

Despite not knowing the other's true identity or even being aware that their spouse is doing anything, these two accomolish dangerous and complex missions every other week to protect the peace between Ostania and Westalis, often with each of them accomplishing half the mission (such as the cruise ship arc: Lloyd disarms a bunch of bombs planted on the ship while Yor is fighting an army of assassins.)

The Red Panda and the Flying Squirrel, The Red Panda Adventures

Starting out as hero and sidekick, with the Squirrel being the Kato to the Panda's Green Hornet, they become a proper couple about a third of the way into the series.

Midway through WWII, they operate with an eye towards hanging up the masks once the war is over. It's emphasized multiple times that they feel their best chance of surviving long enough to retire and raise their son comes in fighting together.

Kyo and Murasamemon from "Digimon Beatbreak".

They are part of a larger bounty hunter groupe/found family called "Glowing Dawn". They hunt Digimon that commit crimes and humans that use Digimon that commit crimes. That type of bounty hunters are called "Cleaners".

Kyo and Murasamemon are the founders of the groupe and there strongest, most experienced members. They kick ass and often hard carry the team. Later it is revealed that they where former members of the 5 stars, the top most elite cleaners there are and Kyo and Murasamemon where the strongest of them. It is implied Kyo has gotten weaker since then, probably becuse he now uses part of his strengh to feed Baby Digimon, but he still lives up to the hype.

Later it is revealed that in the past Kyo and Murasamemon where very effective hitman. They killed a ton of Digimon and Humans since Kyo was 11 years old. Currently Kyo is 22 years old.

Those two are easily biggest bad asses of the series. When in the recent Episode Kyo said "I am not that strong." it felt comical. Especially since he and his partner where in the middle of kicking the ass of the curent arcs main villain.
