Trope: Bromance of the Brunette Guy X Blonde Guy w/ Questionable Morals
Anime
This is a trope that is particular to anime/manga that I find pretty cool:
"Morally Ambiguous Light Haired Guy With An Ambition" in a bromance/rivalry with the "Stoic or Shy Brunette Guy With a Hidden Genius" (or girls, in the case of Angel Cop).
AKA how the Japanese sees the "European/American foreigner with a fierce personality" vs how they see themselves.
Or just the archetypal "Griffith" type of leading character but without the bromance necessarily, such as Canut or Giorno.
