>Kakashi/ That snake nigga who's name I forget
>A million other examples from jap land that I can't remember or don't know off the top of my head.
I can't actually think of many examples from Western media. It's mostly an Eastern thing. I don't actually think it's a dynamic that's based off of Micheal and Lucifer, I think Japs have some story about a gruff loner samurai and his cool noble rival that all of these character dynamics are subsequently based on. Which is why you see it less in the west, as opposed to Hamlet style crazy kings or main characters who are just Luke Skywalker over and over again.

>>Trunks/ Zamasu
youre a faggot for this one
trunks / android 17 and 18

No dude Trunks and Zamasu are that trope because of their personalities. 17 and 18 are just edgy school shooter teenagers with no ideology. Zamasu is a crazy zealot.

Actually if we were to get ultra weeb about it I think Goku/Vegeta is more fitting, Vegeta; Like Kojiro is a loser but he's a COOL loser.

In fact one of Japan's first and most famous novels, The Tale of the Heike, is all about the lives of people in the Taira clan who lost the war.

Cool losers are a huge part of the trope.

You're right but I was going for the Micheal/ Lucifer angle and I thought they fit better.
