• In 365 Days to the Wedding, Shinshi, an employee at the protagonists' company, learns that his wife is divorcing him and temporarily goes insane, having believed that they were Happily Married until then due to his wife not complaining. Most of their coworkers sympathize with Shinshi, due to knowing him better and seeing the impact of the divorce on him, but while George understands Shinshi's perspective, he also argues that his wife may have seemed happy, but might have been unable to voice her complaints until she reached her breaking point and had to divorce him.
• Bakuman。: Mashiro takes the middle ground when he eventually intervenes in the debate between two of his and Takagi's assistants, Shiratori and Moriya, over whether manga artists should aim for popularity or artistic quality, acknowledging Shiratori's belief that manga is good enough as a whole to be considered a true art form yet also acknowledging Moriya's own point about the value of popularity by making it clear that becoming popular is something that will pragmatically need to be settled for in order to allow sufficient time to become good enough to make manga that's sufficiently good on artistic quality alone.
• Bleach: The Shinigami and Quincies have warred for a thousand years, partly because Quincies destroy Hollow souls as punishment for the killing of humans while Shinigami insist on cleansing Hollow souls back into the reincarnation cycle. Quincies refuse to accept that their actions threaten existence itself while Shinigami refuse to accept that they're overwhelmed by Hollow numbers and need help. Members of both sides have observed that war means both sides are justified and both sides are evil. Complicating matters is the true origin of the war, known only to a very few on both sides, which centers around the mysterious connection between the Quincy King and the Shinigami Soul King both of whom may not be what they seem.
• Digimon Adventure: In Episode 7 "Ikkakumon's Harpoon Torpedo", Tai and Matt argue over whether to climb up to the top of the nearby mountain. Tai wants to get a view of the entirety of the island, which would be helpful for their survival. Matt argues that it could be dangerous and he doesn't want to put the whole group at risk (possibly acting due to one of the other members being his little brother). Joe acknowledges both have valid points, but fails to help mediate, only adding a third wheel in the argument.
• Dr. STONE: On their voyage to America, Senku and Ryusei are in disagreement for the route the Perseus will take. Senku argues for the Great Circle Route, a northward curved route over the Pacific that will let them reach their destination in 40 days, enough time to harvest corn before winter. Conversely, Ryusei favors the Rhumb Line, a straight path over the latitude of the Earth, which, while taking 70 days, is more manageable for the amateur crew of the Perseus. Since it is acknowledged that both sides have equal merits, Senku and Ryusei settle the route through a card game with Kohaku and Gen as their respective seconds.
• This is how the conflict between Elicom and TuesdaySoft is resolved in Eroge no Taiyou. Despite TuesdaySoft president Kirisaki being a thoroughly odious person in his personal life, he's pragmatic enough to realize that the best way to make money in the gaming industry is to treat his employees so well they don't want to work anywhere else and have them develop games that people will actually want to play. But a coldly efficient workplace like that would never suit the cast of Bunny Ears Lawyers who work at Elicom, who are just too eccentric to thrive in a polished corporate pipeline and, more importantly, can't imagine working with anyone except each other, making games every single one of them are passionate about. Kanda ultimately sums it up by saying that the world is a better place because both types of companies exist.
• One Piece:
  • Vivi and Luffy disagree on how to save Alabasta in the leadup to the final battles against Crocodile and his Baroque Works organization. Vivi believes that the most important thing to do is to stop the rebellion and thus the civil war, saving lives on both sides and ensuring that Alabasta as a whole won't be too weak to resist against Baroque Works. Luffy by contrast believes the most important thing is to take out Crocodile, the mastermind behind the civil war, as he and his Baroque Works organization will only continue to undermine the country (or even personally taking more direct action to destroy the country outright) if they aren't taken out of the equation, regardless of whether the rebellion is stopped. Eventually, it is for the precise aforementioned valid reasons that Vivi, Luffy, and the rest of the Strawhats ultimately agree that they need to stop both the rebellion and Crocodile at the same time.
  • There's also the dispute between Luffy and Usopp over whether to abandon the Going Merry. On the one hand, Luffy is correct that the ship is irreparably damaged due to its broken keel and that Usopp, whose carpentry skills are amateurish at best, can't keep it in working order (something which even Usopp eventually admits having known to be true but had simply found too saddening to want to admit until denial became impossible, and is proven all too tragically right when the Merry finally falls apart after saving the Straw Hats from Enies Lobby, fulfilling Franky's prediction that it wouldn't make it to the next island). On the other hand, Usopp has an understandable sentimental attachment to the ship that was a gift from his friend Kaya, especially after becoming aware that the ship is a living being(something that the rest of the crew doesn't learn about until the Going Merry's final moments). In fact, even Luffy himself and the rather pragmatic Zoro had difficulty accepting the news that the Going Merry had been beyond repair when said news was first received. The only reason Usopp is considered to be in the wrong in the dispute is because by refusing to accept Luffy's decision and leaving the crew, he showed a lack of respect for Luffy's role as captain, essentially committing mutiny (something which Usopp himself implicitly admits to himself when he finds it necessary to disguise himself as Sogeking for the first time in his life in order to carry out his initial involvement in assisting Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats against CP9 at Enie's Lobby).
• Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl:
  • Over the course of their travels through the Sinnoh Region, Ash and his rival Paul come into conflict over their methods of training, both of which have valid points, but also their drawbacks. Ash relies on The Power of Friendship, which gives him strong bonds with his Pokemon to the point they've surpassed their limitations out of sheer loyalty to their trainer, yet a reliance on their strength alone and not any valid strategy has led Ash to keep getting flattened in crucial battles. Paul, on the other hand, relies on Training from Hell, cold and calculating strategy, and powerful stat-based mons to wipe the floor with his opponents (especially Ash), even using Ash's own tactics against him through several Batman Gambits. Where Paul's training falls flat is that he abuses his poor Pokemon, especially Chimchar, scolding them for being too "weak" whenever they fail him and releasing them if they keep failing. It's only when Ash starts using good strategy that he beats Paul fair and square, and implements this for his future travels (barring Unova), but Paul comes to see Ash's way of thinking after Brandon—whom Ash has actually beaten—trashes Paul's team and pokes holes in his training methods. This shows when Paul thanks Brandon for a good battle, and even thanks his Electivire for a job-well done after it loses.
  • Infernape is a particularly crucial point of debate between Ash and Paul, with Ash believing that Chimchar was strong on its own merits, and Paul believing its only worth was its exceptionally powerful Blaze. When Ash first receives Chimchar, he explicitly refuses to train Blaze, focusing instead on rebuilding its self-esteem through positive reinforcement. Even without it, Chimchar serves as one of Ash's most reliable Pokemon all throughout Sinnoh, even moreso after its evolutions. However, Paul's belief is validated when Blaze is finally activated in an intense battle, sending Chimchar into an Unstoppable Rage that Ash could just barely contain with a Cooldown Hug. Whether they like it or not, Ash and Chimchar would have to learn to control Blaze one day; however, rather than through Training from Hell like Paul tried so hard to do, Ash controls it through The Power of Friendship, adding several more layers of nuance to the ultimate result.
• Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire:
  • In "Hail to the Chef", Ash and the gang stumble upon a pair of twins arguing about whether taste or presentation matters more in a restaurant. By the episode's end, they realize both philosophies are useless without the other and agree to run the restaurant together.
  • During the later "Grand Festival" arc, when Harley feigns reformation to May in order to get her to mess up during the contest out of petty revenge for beating him in their last encounter. When Drew tells May of Harley's deceit, she rightfully chews him out for tricking her like that. He doesn't deny it, and in fact brags about it in front of everyone, but he retorts that she fell for it nonetheless, which she somberly realizes and grudingly admits is also true.
• In Princess Mononoke, every character has a reasonable explanation and motivation for their actions. San is harsh and violent, but only wants to protect her home, family and the natural world. Eboshi wants to kill the god of the forest, but is a benevolent leader, good to her people and kind to lepers and you can fully see why her people are willing to die for her. The protagonist Ashitaka is completely neutral and genuinely wants the best for everyone, even acknowledging both sides' points, pointing out how the hatred they're feeling against each other will ultimately lead to ruin for the both of them, and ultimately being the one who first decides to commit the actions alongside San that ultimately prevent the end result of the conflict from destroying both sides all at once. Even if the consequences of their choices are ultimately negative, you can see why they did it.
• The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World: Red comes to the conclusion that both Shauha and Idola's goals have merit. On one hand, Shauha's decision to limit the development and research of magic and magic items to a specially licensed few makes sense, as people from his world had to earn similar licenses to handle dangerous substances and equipment. On the other, Red agrees with Idola's assertion that Shauha's restrictions are too severe, as low-risk magic items could be handled safely if people are simply instructed how to use them. Red suggests that Idola try to change Shauha's mind so they can work together to achieve both of their goals of improving safety and increasing the positive impact of magic.
• In Sword Art Online, the Mother's Rosary arc has the dispute between Asuna and her mother Kyouko over whether she should continue attending the SAO Survivors' School. Kyouko stresses the importance of getting a good education, and points out that the school is little more than a way for the government to monitor the teenage survivors of Sword Art Online (which Kirito had noticed earlier, and which Asuna mentally concedes in the light novel). Asuna doesn't deny what her mother is saying, but is happy at her school and has her own vision for the future. In the end, Kyouko relents and lets Asuna stay at the school as long as she keeps her grades up.
• One major subplot of The Summer You Were There is protagonist Shizuku Hoshikawa's attempts to apologize to Ruri Ichinose, the girl Shizuku bullied in elementary school. When Kaori Asaka, Shizuku's girlfriend and Ruri's friend, arranges a meeting between the two, Ruri politely but firmly refuses Shizuku's apology, since the trauma caused by Shizuku's bullying has not gone away. Later on in the series, Ruri speaks with Kaori, saying that she realizes that Shizuku has changed for the better and feels as though she's the only one stuck in the past, but Kaori tells Ruri that she's not wrong to feel this way. On the one hand, Kaori acknowledges that Shizuku has changed, but on the other hand, she also admits that Shizuku hurt Ruri, and Ruri is not obligated to forgive her. Kaori simply wants both Shizuku and Ruri to be able to recover from their respective guilt and trauma, and possibly build a new relationship.
• Episode 6 of Zombie Land Saga marks a rift forming between Ai and Junko over their conflicting views on how the idol industry should work based on what was normal in their respective times: for Junko, it means putting herself at arm's length from the public so she may present her ideal self that she wants her admirers to strive towards. For Ai, it means forging close relationships with her fans and using their support to propel herself forward. Unfortunately, their mutual inability or refusal to understand each other keeps them from seeing eye-to-eye. The other girls try convincing them to bury the hatchet:
  Ai: I don't see how any of what I said was wrong.
  Yugiri: There are plenty of fights that start because both sides have a good point.

• Archie Comics: "My Father's Betrayal" focuses on Veronica and her father in a feud over him funding for an industrial park that would be built over Eversgreen Forest, a well known nature reserve. While those in favor of the reserve want to preserve the environment, those in favor of the industrial park point out that the economy is bad and the unemployed residents of Riverdale need the jobs the new factory could bring. Eventually, after Veronica gets injured during a protest rally, the Lodges realize they both wanted what they thought was best for Riverdale and reconcile. Hiram then compromises by having the industrial park built at a much smaller scale so Eversgreen Forest won't have to be cut down.

Crossovers

• Adopted Displaced: In Three More Things, Tiger!Jackie and Pussycat!Jackie have an argument in the "The Tiger and the Pussycat" arc. Pussycat claims that Tiger isn't being empathetic enough with the girls and that they shouldn't be recklessly exposed to the darker side of the world before they're ready, while Tiger says they need to get the girls ready to face the darkness instead of coddling them. Ultimately, after Hak Foo has taken the Crusaders, Jade and the Talismans, the two Jackies finally admit that the other was right about what they were saying earlier, and they team up to rescue the foursome.
• In Amazing Fantasy, Peter admits that both sides on the issue of the Superhuman Registration Act had a point. On one hand, he hated the sweeping authority it gave over superhumans who didn't even want to be superheroes and the abuses this authority caused. On the other, he supports the living wage, superhero networking, training, and support it provided to those who were willing and able to become heroes. He has to laugh out loud when he learns about the Hero system in Izuku's universe, which is essentially a peaceful and well-organized version of the SHRA.
• Class 1-A Watches Ben 10: The MHA characters are right that Ben crossed a line in the "Kevin 11" episode. On the other hand, the hosts are also right that we're talking about a 10-year-old kid who suddenly finds himself in a world of alien powers and crime fighting and generally trying to do what's right.
• Demented'verse: When Harry and the Winchesters finally become aware of how Castiel was responsible for releasing Sam from Bobby's 'panic room' in time for him to join up with Ruby on the fateful trip that ended with Sam successfully killing Lilith and unwittingly releasing Lucifer from his cage, the Winchesters are less than pleased to say the least. Sam, in particular, proves quick to read Castiel the riot act for essentially making it possible for him to fulfil the final requirement for starting the Apocalypse in the first place and obviating their effort at preventing it as well as for giving him grief about the matter in the subsequent days that followed despite being just as aware as the other angels about how they and Ruby had allowed Sam to spend an entire year under the false impression that killing Lilith would stop the Apocalypse rather than cause it, with the former action being something that Dean admits was a particularly shitty move on Cas's part (implicitly indicating that Sam has every right to be angry). Castiel, however, fires back that he was merely the one who gave Sam the ability to leave Bobby's panic room, whereas Sam himself was the one who took advantage of the opportunity to leave, refused to listen to Dean when he tried to stop him from leaving with Ruby, and willingly chose to go through with the subsequent actions that resulted in the Apocalypse getting successfully started (all without angelic prompting or assistance) even after Dean had managed (via assistance from Castiel that involved the angel openly defying orders and rebelling against his own kind as well as temporarily dying) to arrive at Sam and Ruby's location in time to perform actions that ideally should have been enough to snap Sam back to his senses and stop; which Harry notes from Sam's subsequent silent response of all too real pain and anger is something that the younger Winchester brother is all too aware is also true.
• A Game of Cat and Cat: When Kazuya finds that the killer is a starving, undead child, he recruits him as a demon, implicitly hiding him from the police. He expects Mina to just go along with it. She is furious because Kazuya's decision put her in a dangerous position, especially since the consequences would fall more heavily on her head than his. Kazuya asserts that he rescued a homeless child and ended the murders, and balks at the implication that he should have done otherwise. Their mutual friend Soma mediates the argument, and both apologize to the other; Mina concedes that Kazuya made the right call, but Kazuya concedes that he should act with more consideration for his friends.
  Soma: Both of you have a point. And neither of you are attacking what the other is defending [...] [Y]ou're so fixated on why you're right that you don't stop to see why they're right, too.
• In A Horse for the Force, Master Giiett lightly chastens his fellow masters Koth and Dooku by saying that both of their respective views of Ranma are right. Dooku is right in that Koth is judging Ranma simply for having different opinions, while Koth is right in that Ranma's Brutal Honesty and opinions will put him at odds with at least a majority of the Jedi Order.
• Infinity Train: Melancholy Afterlife: Chloe is upset at her father constantly overlooking her in favor of Goh and Ash, ignoring her desire to get into Pokémon and leaving her to her own devices. This triggers the Spearow Incident, where she heads off on her own and attempts to capture a pokémon without backup... something she eventually admits was not the best plan, and that they used as evidence that she really wasn't ready to join them.
• Influenced Out of Normality: Xander's and Buffy's gripes with each other are both acknowledged as being legitimate and both are in the wrong. Xander admits he's been giving Buffy the cold shoulder since she came back and that he was wrong to try to ruin her relationship with Angel in the past. Buffy realizes that she should apologize for letting her friends think she was dead for months and that Xander understands her staking Angel since he had to stake Jesse, whom he considered his brother.
• Khaos Omega invokes one with an added dose of Foreshadowing during "Amethyst Transcendance" during the first visit to Viridian City. While the duo involved in this (Anise and Misty) are both willing to have sex with each other, Anise is reluctant to get Misty pregnant as a result of the sexual activity should a forced fusion incident happen; Misty's counter-argument claiming a curse cast on Anise by Junya Kaneshiro wouldn't let her wait that long talks her into it. Where the foreshadowing comes into the picture is that both predicted incidents happen (the curse flare-up Misty predicted happens in Cerulean while the forced fusion incident Anise predicted happens in Fuchsia, with one of the girls Misty got fused with^note specifically Dead or Alive's Kasumi, whose half-sister Ayane revealed to Anise Misty's true first name Mistaria pulling the exact stunt behind why Anise wanted to wait).
• Metal Gear: Green:
  • When discussing the MSF and their tanks, All Might points out that they know nothing about them, meaning that to him, they could've taken contracts with anyone, up to and including All for One. Despite this, Midnight points out that despite everything, they are more morally grey, which is better than being outright villains, something All Might and Present Mic can't refute.
  • When discussing their contract with UA while retaking the main entrance, Grizzly points out that the Ninth Circle is worse at fighting than the militants in Africa. Iguchi (who is a member of the MSF), points out that despite this, the militants weren't suicidal nutjobs like the Ninth Circle, something Grizzly can't refute.
  • President Klazen of Outer Heaven meets with Snake (the leader of the MSF, which is Outer Heaven's armed forces) and explains that he believes the civilian government should have more of a role in the military. Snake says that the independence of the military ensures that the troops won't be thrown away like pawns by an uncaring government. Klazen agrees... and replies that, without any civilian oversight, they could easily overthrow the government, which has historical precedent in Japan in the 1930s. And, while the MSF is loyal to Snake, and Snake would never agree with the idea, can Snake be one hundred percent certain that his successor, or whoever succeeds them, won't consider turning on Outer Heaven's government? As much as Snake would like to claim otherwise, he has to admit Klazen has a point.
• Not Done Fighting features Miles Morales (Spider-Man: Spider-Verse) arriving in the Marvel Cinematic Universe while fleeing the rest of the Spider-Society, where he meets Peter-One a few months after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Talking with Miles about canon events, One speculates that the rest of the Society find it comforting to accept the idea of canon events as a means of "assuring" themselves that they couldn't have saved their Ben Parkers or similar losses, but assures Miles that if someone had told him in advance of his aunt's death, One would have tried to save her just as Miles is trying to save his father.
• Ohana of the Galaxy: The Guardians blame Rocket for activating Sparky behind their backs, leading to his escape; however, Rocket counters that he actually had Sparky contained... until the other Guardians came barging in, anyway.
• In Outsiders (xTRESTWHOx), Saito believes Louise and Henrietta shouldn't use their magic while trapped in the world of Pokémon, fearing the kind of attention this would draw. Louise argues that Psychic Powers and Aura manipulation aren't unheard of in this world, and as long as they aren't using their magic unfairly by doing things like reading minds or using them directly on their opponents, they shouldn't be ashamed of using their natural abilities. Henrietta then declares that they're both right — and that she checked the rules for participating in Showcases before signing up, which already have guidelines for esoteric powers. She could use magic if she wanted to, so long as she stays within those guidelines, but is choosing to abstain so she doesn't take attention away from her partner Fleur's performance.
• Raise Your Voice Against Liars: After the Internal Reveal, Adrien is furious at how the Phantom Thieves kept him Locked Out of the Loop regarding the Metaverse and his father being Hawk Moth. However, Plagg points out that both sides were in the wrong. Marinette and the other Thieves had ample reasons to distrust Adrien in both his identities, given Adrien's past Betrayal by Inaction and failure to take his heroic responsibilities seriously, plus Marinette's trauma from dealing with Chat Blanc in the Bad Future. Yet they took that distrust to the point of leaving Adrien with his abuser, and now have to face the fallout.
  Plagg: You fucked up, they fucked up, now all of you get to decide how 'n where you go from here.
• Transformers: MHA: Kyoka takes an internship offer at a Hero Agency as a pretext for infiltrating and investigating, as Snake-Eyes and his ilk are completely unknown — she'd never even heard of them before getting the offer out of the blue. When this leads to a confrontation, Fowler points out that he can't fault her for being suspicious. It wasn't a good idea for her to take it upon herself to spy upon them, but they also should have thought things through better and been more forthcoming. Everyone involved acknowledges this and opts to move on.
• The Turn (Animorphs / Mighty Ducks): In Chapter 9, Eva remarks that she actually understands why the Yeerks are so desperate to find hosts, given how limited their senses and abilities are in their nature state. However, she assures Ax that she also agrees they went too far by stealing Andalite technology and attempting to conquer other worlds.
• The TV Tropes Character Crossover War: A.R.M.E.D. winds up being given James the Conductor from The Polar Express as an ally — only for Gordon from Thomas & Friends to show up and try to handle the train for himself, wanting to help the heroes in stopping Makima. The two railroaders quickly devolve into an argument that lasts for several chapters — in James' mind, Gordon is from a poorly mismanaged railway with far too many accidents, and is ill-deserving of being involved in the industry given that; as far as Gordon's concerned, James is just being petty because he thinks his railway is better, and is refusing to let Gordon prove himself. It's after "Start of the Line" when Gordon is Akumatized by Hawk Moth into becoming Pain Train, leading to the near-destruction of the Polar Express and Gordon himself being badly beaten up by Team Fortress and Overwatch that both he and James are forced to come to a truce. While James does hold by his earlier criticisms, he does admit Gordon was right about him being petty about the whole thing and apologizes, while Gordon does swallow his pride a little bit and admits Sir Topham Hatt's running things back home poorly, even if the express engine still holds to him being the superior of the two.
• Universe Falls:
  • The Aesop of "Forever Alone" involves Dipper and Steven accidentally fusing into "Stepper," who is much more unstable than Stevonnie or Maven. Steven thinks Dipper needs to pull himself away from his mysteries and learn how to open up to others and loosen up, while Dipper feels like he's being forced into something he's very uncomfortable with. It isn't until both halves acknowledge the other's point that the resulting fusion finally stabilizes.
  • In "Bot Battle", Stanford and McGucket are initially at odds because McGucket thinks Ford let the portal project go too far because of his pride, to which Ford retorts that Fiddleford just washed his hands of the whole thing and buried his head in the sand instead of trying to help stop whatever damage it caused. At the end of the chapter, the two make amends and admit that the other was right.
• The Wind Hero: Wanderer: Subverted when The Wanderer opts to leave Nine to die from his injuries. Izuku wants to try saving the villain, while Katsuki declares that as a villain, he automatically deserves to die. The Wind Hero rebukes them both:
  The Wanderer: This is a special circumstance Bakugo. If you do this with any other villain, you'll be considered a monster who cares about nothing but himself and no one will respect that. [to Izuku] Deku, this decision is a difficult one. The only way to save him is to give him what he wants. You know what'll happen if we do that.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

• In The Stalking Zuko Series, Sokka takes a middle ground with regards to the conflict between Aang and Katara over whether to kill Yon Rha, the man who murdered Sokka and Katara's mother Kya. Sokka agrees with Katara's decision to neither kill nor forgive Yon Rha, but at the same time, he sympathizes with Aang's attempts to get Katara to forgive the man, believing that Aang was simply worried about Katara.

Bleach

• In Game and Bleach, Ichigo and Tatsuki clear a dungeon and disagree about what to do with the dozens of female ogres being held prisoner. Tatsuki wants to free them, arguing that it'd be inhumane to simply leave the women there to die. Ichigo counters that they can't be sure the ogre women wouldn't attack them, as they have no common language; and they're in a videogame, so said women aren't real. Immediately afterwards, Ichigo has to go through a blood sacrifice to open a locked door and Tatsuki mocks his pain. Ichigo fires back that while those women are fake, his pain is very real. After a few minutes to cool off, both admit they were at least partially in the wrong and the other had a point.

Danganronpa

• Picture Perfect!: Early in the second arc, Nekomaru confronts Mahiru and declares his intent to help her move past the tragedy that claimed two of their number. Mahiru angrily points out that it's only been three days, and that it's utterly unreasonable to expect anyone to process things that quickly. While Nekomaru concedes that point, he rejects her accusation that he doesn't CARE about what happened; it's not that their deaths don't matter at all, but that dwelling on their losses won't help anyone, and he's worried about people losing hope. So he's trying to encourage her and the others by pointing out things they can do to try and improve their circumstances, no matter how minor.

Harry Potter

• Departure from the Diary: When Hermione goes to the professors about Harry receiving a Firebolt for Christmas, Harry takes the middle ground between her and Ron in the argument that subsequently ensues. On the one hand, the broom did arrive under rather suspicious circumstances and is prohibitively expensive^*Harry could live comfortably, though not lavishly for the rest of his life without having to work and still didn't have enough gold to buy one himself. On the other, Harry also agrees with Ron in that it'd be impossible for Sirius Black to wander into Gringotts and make a withdrawal of that size given the bounty on his head. Worse is that Hermione went behind Harry's back to inform the professors rather than simply talk to him, especially since Harry was going to ask her opinion before she ran off.

Hellaverse

• Newest Pup in the Family: Chapter 8 has a three-way example when Cyra snaps over Loona and Millie's constant arguing and the latter's blatant bigotry towards hellhounds. Millie blames Loona's prickly Jerkassery; Loona retorts that she doesn't throw slurs around, asking the imp if she remembers the last time she called Loona by her NAME rather than just some variation of 'hellhound'. Later, Millie apologizes to Cyra, but points out that Loona usually treats everyone around her even worse.
• Saving Blitzo: In Healing Blitzo, Blitzo's father learns that Don Ziggler plans to burn down the Circus and immediately flees with his family under the cover of night. Blitzo is furious, calling out his father as a Dirty Coward — and his father admits his hypocrisy. However, he counters that warning everyone like Blitzo desires would trigger a mass panic, jeopardizing any attempt to escape, so he's prioritizing his immediate family first and foremost. Upon hearing the situation, Rachmiel admits that he wouldn't know what to do in their position.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

• crème de la crème: While searching for the mysterious Serial Killer with Iggy, Mohammed Avdol finds Okuyasu caught in the middle of an argument between Morioh's Friendly Ghosts Reimi Sugimoto and Caesar Zeppeli. Reimi points out that staying in the cursed Ghost Alley for 15 years is better rather than watching the world forget and move past her. Caesar disagrees, arguing that the changing world allows him to see the world and maintain his freedom, while he expresses worry that she would go mad with just her dog and the passing victims of her murderer as company. Okuyasu lampshades that both ghosts have a point, while Avdol shows he agrees with the Idiot Hero's statement by offering Okuyasu and Caesar a drive back home without a comment on the debate.

Kingdom Hearts

• Runaway Wind: While Ven's decision to help Naminé escape Castle Oblivion was the right thing to do, Leon points out how reckless it was for him to accept her story at face value, and how easily it could've blown up in Ven's face if she was a Deliberately Distressed Damsel or using her powers on him. Ven later concedes that he has a bad tendency to not think things through, one he's already paid for in the past.

KPop Demon Hunters

• Second Chances: After learning that Rumi is part demon, Zoey and Mira are initially extremely angry with Celine for not telling them, citing that if they saw her marks in the middle of a fight, they'd have killed their best friend in the belief she'd been replaced by a demon. Celine, however, was forced to kill her best friend to protect Rumi and didn't believe anyone would listen to the idea there was such a thing as a good demon. Furthermore, if the girls got caught up on the idea of potentially good demons, they'd be more likely to hold back too much in combat and get themselves hurt or killed. Even without directly confronting each other over their arguments, both admit that their arguments are flawed and the other does have a good point.

My Hero Academia

• One for All and Eight for the Ninth: Following the MLA uprising, several Pro Heroes decide to quit, partly out of fear that they won't be getting paid anymore. While society does need heroes more than ever, Ochako acknowledges that it's actually a valid concern on their end, especially given how dangerous their jobs are.

Naruto

• The Echo Remains, But The Song Is Not The Same: Shikaku notes that both the Sandaime and his son have valid points in their conflict over Naruto:
  • Shikamaru rightly notes that Naruto's isolation and mistreatment at the hands of most of Konoha's citizens is unfair, and he desperately wants to set things right. But his chosen method of tackling the problem, snarkily insulting and trying to shame the villagers into not being Jerkasses isn't actually solving the problem. Instead, it's just prompting the insulted villagers to snap back.
  • Hiruzen, meanwhile, wants Shikamaru to learn how to step back and analyze situations in a more logical fashion instead of reacting emotionally and making matters worse. But he also isn't doing anything to address the underlying problem of Naruto being abused — and with Shikamaru Locked Out of the Loop and knowing nothing about the jinchuuriki, he's left convinced that Adults Are Useless and that he's the best line of defense his friend has.
• Uzumaki Naruko: To the Victor, the Spoils V2: Anko mediates in a fight between Naruko and Ino over their respective dietary preferences by pointing out that both sides' criticisms have merit. Naruko eats almost nothing but instant ramen, which Anko calls "hypertension waiting to happen"; Ino, on the other hand, is dieting too much, and isn't meeting the necessary caloric intake necessary for an average person, let alone an active kunoichi.

The Owl House

• An Everlasting Vow: Luz leaving Amity in the orphanage is treated this way. Amity was left at the mercy of the Blights, and lost the only friend she'd ever had, leaving her extremely angry with Luz and desiring to cut all ties with her. Luz, on her part, was trying to get Amity to accept the Healing Coven apprenticeship, which was the only way to save her life but Amity refused it out of unwillingness to leave Luz. They end up eventually becoming friends again due to growing tired of being mad at each other.

Prehistoric Park

• Prehistoric Park: Reimagined: Over the course of the dunkleosteus rescue mission Devils of the Deep, Jack and Leon have several blowout arguments with some stingingly valid criticisms against each other. According to Jack, Leon has not yet demonstrated very much (if any) proper evidence at this point of actually being competent at the work he's been hired to do and has at least twice fallen victim to unpleasant situations that could have easily been avoided by someone with more skill. Leon points out that he can at least take credit for using a consistent and reliable strategy in the form of his noise broadcasting device; while Jack has a quite widely known history of rushing blindly into dangerous situations without thinking or planning ahead, seemingly having no regard for personal safety even when there are perfectly viable safer options available. Ultimately, they both acknowledge each other's points after they both get suspended from rescue mission duty after their argument very nearly got team leader Drew killed or maimed.

RWBY

• Arcanum: Any arcanists who disagree with the Collegium system are labeled "anarchists", even those who have no desire for anarchy. While Merlot is correct to condemn the corruption Inherent in the System and how the White abuse their power to suppress the truth and maintain the status quo, this doesn't justify mass murder in response. Said plan only succeeded in convincing the White that such atrocities are inevitable if they loosen their grip. Ruby is upset by Merlot's execution not because she sees it as unjust, but because only one side is facing consequences for their crimes.
• The Choices We Make: After the fight with Tyrian Callows, Jaune and Qrow voice their disagreements with each other and admit the other has valid points. On Jaune's side, Qrow used them as bait, and while Ruby coming back to the fight put them all in danger, yelling at her about that wasn't very productive when she was already torn up about it. On Qrow's side, he had told them at the start to always follow his orders without question, breaking that order almost got someone killed, and if it were anyone but Ruby, he'd have them sent back to Beacon immediately.

A Song of Ice and Fire

• In To Forge an Heir, Lyman debates with Rhaenyra over her decision to choose Criston Cole as a kingsguard, pointing out that many of the other candidates came from more prestigious families... families that are now furious at being passed over, at a point where they can't exactly afford to lose support. Rhaenyra counters that she wants the best warriors for her kingsguard, not to treat it as just another political chess piece. Lyman concedes the point, but suggests that she take the time to explain her reasoning to each of the disgruntled knights.

Star Wars

• In Precipice, Bail and Padme argue about the best way to overthrow Palpatine; Padme insists they need to fight now before he gets too entrenched, while Bail argues they don't have the people or resources necessary. Yoda then declares that both of their arguments raise important points, suggesting they should focus on playing the Long Game.
• There's No Rule That Says A Wolf Can't Be A Jedi: Swift is naturally inclined to be philosophical, so when he hears about the Senate's debate over whether to increase or decrease the war budget, he's able to see the merit on both sides. One side wants to end the war through negotiation instead of violently conquering everything; the other side wants to end the war quickly to reduce casualties. Anakin, who was initially firmly on the "increase budget" side and angry about being summoned to get involved in the debate, leaves their discussion more thoughtful.
  Anakin: How can both sides of an argument be right?
  Swift: Because they're arguing about different things. Or most of them are, but it sounds like the same thing so it's harder to notice. ... But the difficult thing to see is that what both sides want is the same.

Tolkien's Legendarium

• Splint: Although it's acknowledged that the Orcs were technically the original aggressors, Orcs and Men both have sympathetic viewpoints and both have some legitimate grievances against each other; this is particularly demonstrated during some arguments and conversations between Rukhash and Cadoc in early chapters. They eventually come to a mutual agreement that both their people have wronged the other in some way and that maybe it would be better if they tried to move past this together rather than getting trapped in a Cycle of Revenge.

• Batman: Under the Red Hood: Batman and Red Hood's conflict stems from deciding the fate of the Joker, who murdered the latter when he was still Robin. Jason believes that Joker has been a Karma Houdini for too long, and needs to die for all the destruction and pain he's caused. And while he does agree with Batman's code as far as every other member of the latter's rogues' gallery is concerned (including when it comes to Two-Face, the same criminal responsible for the death of Jason's biological father), he also believes that Joker is a perfectly worthy exception to the rule as a result of his aforementioned longstanding Karma Houdini status and how his death at the Joker's hands should have been a personal line crossing strong enough to convince Batman as to why Joker should be killed. Batman agrees with him—even admitting he's thought about crossing that line—but still refuses to go against his code due to believing that killing even someone like the Joker would come with too high of a risk of him Jumping Off the Slippery Slope and becoming no different from the criminals he fights.
• The Casagrandes Movie: A major conflict of the movie is Ronnie Anne's dissatisfaction with her birthday plans being ruined by the surprise family trip to Mexico, which isn't helped by her mother's overbearing attitude to spend time together. By the end of the movie, she realizes she should've known how much the trip meant to her mother and apologizes to her. Maria apologizes as well, as she realizes she was being pushy and needs to give her daughter more independence.
• In Finding Nemo, Marlin and Nemo get into an argument regarding danger, precautions, and having adventures. Marlin is so concerned about wanting to protect his son that he forbids him to even leave the house, especially when he sneaks off on his first day of school. Nemo, angry with his father's overbearing reaction, disobeys him and goes out of his way to touch a boat, which in turn gets him captured by a scuba-diver. Over the course of their journeys, both father and son realize that there was merit to the other's argument. For Nemo, it is accepting that like it or not, the sea is extremely dangerous, and he can't go risking his life so foolishly. For Marlin, it's accepting that he has been allowing the trauma of his wife and other children's deaths to cause him to try to stiffle Nemo's enthusiasm and prevent him from living his life. When they finally reunite, they both apologize for having gotten so mad, and while Nemo becomes less reckless, Marlin, though still being a concerned father, makes an effort to not be so overprotective of his son.
• In The LEGO Batman Movie, Batman and newly appointed police commissioner Barbara Gordon are at odds over how to effectively stop crime in Gotham; Batman want to use his traditional methods, while Barbara wants Batman to work with the police. She argues that Batman being an Ineffectual Loner is hurting Gotham more than helping it, since he never manages to keep the criminals locked up for long, and his I Work Alone tendencies are preventing him from truly being happy. However, Batman's methods, though flawed, have kept Gotham safe for years; it's just the corrupt justice system and the Cardboard Prison that is Arkham Asylum have not helped matters, and nothing Barbara does is going to change that. By the end of the film, Batman accepts that Barbara is right when she says that he's letting his past get in the way of being happy, and he works with her to solve the crisis. Barbara admits that Batman's methods are just as necessary, and begins working with him as Batgirl.
• The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part: In the LEGO world, Lucy tries to force Emmet to become tougher for his own sake, convinced he won't be able to survive the harsh world the denizens now live in, while he continues to remain his chipper self in spite of the fact he's living in a Crapsack World. Lucy is right that Emmet can't continue to act in such a manner all the time, since he does need to focus on trying to survive in the world they live in. Yet when Emmet does try to be "tough", it goes horribly wrong thanks to Rex's manipulations, and he causes Armamageddon to doom the entire LEGO universe to an eternity in a storage bin, proving that Emmet's methods to Be Yourself have their validity. Both Lucy and Emmet come to acknowledge each other's points in the end, but find a reasonable compromise; they will have to grow up sooner or later, but can still be themselves without having to become more cynical or evil to do it.
• The Lorax (1972): As the eponymous Lorax calls out the Once-ler on his cutting down the Truffula Trees for the sake of producing Thneeds, the Once-ler acknowledges that the Lorax is right to be concerned about the environment, but asks him whether stopping production of the Thneeds, which would leave "a hundred-thousand workers" jobless, is a good idea. The Lorax has to admit that the Once-Ler isn't wrong about this.
• In The Little Mermaid, Ariel and her father King Triton are at odds because of her interest in the surface world and his view that humans are nothing but savages. He believes that his daughter's unhealthy obsession with them is only going to get her killed, while Ariel believes that humanity is a fascinating species and wants to be a part of them. In this instance, Triton is right that humanity can be dangerous. But Ariel is right that her father isn't willing to give humanity a chance simply out of hatred, and her experiences on the surface world show that humans are far from the monsters Triton claims them to be. Ultimately, Triton acknowledges his daughter's points and lets her become human to stay with Prince Eric, but Ariel does come to admit that she was being needlessly reckless in her obsession with the human world, as her actions nearly gave Ursula control of the entire undersea kingdom (and possibly the world itself).
• The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea: A conflict is enacted when Melody, Ariel's daughter, ends up falling on the opposite path of her mother's (wanting to be a mermaid instead of a human), but Ariel has explicitly kept her in the dark about this side of her heritage due to Ursula's sister Morgana threatening her life (with said withholding of Melody's heritage being born from a well meaning but ill advised attempt to protect Melody). When Melody gets turned into a mermaid by Morgana, Ariel returns to her old mermaid form to track down her kid, leading to the two encountering each other and causing Melody to turn over the stolen trident to Morgana out of frustration for her mother's blatant hypocrisy. In such a case, Melody was right that her mom blatantly hid her true heritage from her for years, and had been lying about it when she could have just told her what was going on. Yet, as immediately demonstrated once Morgana finally has her hands on the trident, Ariel had every right to fear for Melody's safety when Morgana ends up using the trident to almost take over Atlantica and nearly drowns Melody in the process by turning her back into a human, showing that, as wrong as Ariel's approach to the situation was, Morgana was just as much of a threat she feared her to be when she nearly drowned her daughter as a baby. Once Morgana has eventually been dealt with, both mother and daughter acknowledge their mistakes and reconcile, with Melody apologizing to Ariel for her disobedience and giving Morgana the trident, only for Ariel herself to counter that she's the one who should be sorry and that she and Eric truly should have told Melody the truth from the beginning.
• In Monsters University, Mike and Sully's initial conflict stems from their different approaches to scaring. Mike believes that it's a matter of proper technique, while Sully prefers simply using his natural skills to scrape by. It takes getting kicked out the Scaring Program, expelled from the university, and nearly getting trapped in the human world to get both monsters to realize that it requires both to make a difference. Yes, looking scary is important, but it's useless without the technique behind it. Yes, having a plan is immensely necessary, but it won't work unless you're able to be scary in the first place. Once they see this, they can combine their natural strengths to create an unstoppable team.
• Ratatouille: Rémy admits that he and his dad have different viewpoints on the food they take from humans and he can understand Django's perspective. Django says that taking garbage is better than risking their lives in the kitchen. His reasoning is that humans throw out garbage rather than protect it personally, and they don't have a chance to be picky what with the world wanting to kill them. To really strike his point home, he shows Rémy a ratcatcher shop where rodent bodies are mounted in the window, saying that it's why rats need to keep a low profile. Rémy believes, on the other hand, that it's stealing because humans often make things rather than take them, and he wants to earn his way to a good meal rather than stay a scrounger. They come to a compromise in the end; When Django sees Linguini standing up for Rémy he realizes that not all humans are bad and agrees to help his son in the kitchen. Rémy in turn admits that his father may have been right about keeping a low profile after their entire family's presence at Gusteau's gets the restaurant closed. Fittingly, the rats at the new Ratatouille restaurant are proper patrons, paying for their food, but staying hidden from the human populace.
• Spies in Disguise: Walter and Lance have different approaches to taking down "bad guys". On the one hand, Lance is constantly proven correct that villains don't care if you play nice, and you want to take them down once and for all so they can't retaliate. It's hard to argue given Killian tortures Walter in an attempt to lure out Lance when the latter calls for the agent. Walter, on the other hand, points out that if you have "blow up a bad guy" as a default solution, everyone gets burned when you "fight fire with fire". Sometimes the nonviolent solution may be the right one, in that no one gets hurt.
• Toy Story 4: After their mission to rescue Forky from Gabby-Gabby fails miserably, Woody and Bo have a pretty heated argument that causes them to fall out. Woody accuses Bo of not understanding loyalty, while Bo accuses Woody of allowing his desire to help out Bonnie hold him back from actually living life, as he's still clinging on to Bonnie as if she was Andy. Woody comes to realize that Bo has a point: being unable to move on from being Andy's toy is making things more difficult for him and his friends. Bo concedes that Woody is also right: she doesn't understand loyalty - specifically Woody's loyalty to his kid, the kind that made her care for him so much in the first place - and goes back to help him. This ultimately allows Woody to decide to stay with Bo, where he can still help other toys like he always has, but not be bound to any child's collection.
• Zootopia 2: Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde often get on each other's nerves and disagree on the dangerous cases they take on, the latest of which involves defying the Lynxleys: the most wealthy, powerful and ruthless family in Zootopia. Judy is often annoyed and put off by Nick's cynicism, his wise cracks, his stink eye, and his inability to take things seriously. Nick, on the other hand, is often hurt, bewildered, irritated and concerned by Judy's stubbornness, recklessness, and her tendency to laugh/brush off his concerns and opinions. In the end, they both acknowledge that they are right about each other. Judy is right that Nick has a habit of making Dude, Not Funny! jokes, often at inappropriate moments, and Nick is also right that Judy can be reckless with her own life.

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze: This gets lampshaded by Donnie when Leo and Raph get into an argument on their housing problem. With the turtles and Splinter bumming at April's apartment for sometime after the events of the first movie, Raph suggests that they could move back into their old lair in the sewer, now that the Shredder has been defeated and is presumed dead. Leo however points out that the Foot Clan are still active, albeit scattered around NYC, and they still know where the turtles (use to) live, so going back to their old home is still out of the question since it wouldn't be safe.

• Parodied to the point of absurdity in an old Jewish joke. Two Jews come to a rabbi to resolve a dispute and present their arguments; they also bring along a witness. The rabbi, after leafing through the Talmud for a couple of hours, finally says: "Shlomo, you are right. But, Moyshe, you are right as well". The puzzled witness asks: "But, rabbi, how can two men with completely different opinions be right at the same time? It's impossible!". The rabbi replies: "You know, Joshua, it turns that you are right as well!"

• The Berenstain Bear Scouts: In The Berenstain Bear Scouts and the Sinister Smoke Ring, Farmer Ben is annoyed at a group of anti-smoking protestors, who vehemently oppose him growing tobacco plants on his farm. He insists that they have no right to protest on his property, while they insist he has no right to grow such a "filthy weed." In the end, the police defuse the situation, pointing out that while Ben is right that they have no right to protest on his property, they can do so all they want on the street away from it. On the protestors' end, the police also agree with them that Smoking Is Not Cool, but point out that tobacco is a legal crop, and Ben has every right to grow it on his farm if he wants.
• Ash and Amy have an argument in the middle of A Grimm Quest when it comes to light that he's been hiding the fact that he'll be killed if she dies. Amy needs to be able to trust him to share information with her, especially if it relates to their survival. Ash knows that this isn’t something that either of them can change; and he finds the reality of it soothing while he knew Amy would find it upsetting. Once they both explain their reasoning, they end up apologizing to each other.
• Leia, Princess of Alderaan: From the moment that she learns her adoptive parents are in La Résistance, a teenaged Leia Organa wrestles with the morality of rebelling against The Empire. It's evil and little change can be enacted from within, but it's also massive and vengeful. Going against it is risky and people will be hurt or killed in the attempt. Kier, another Alderaanian who hates the Empire, does think something should be done, but Alderaan is safe and if Bail and Breha are caught, dire consequences will fall on the planet and everyone on it, Rebel or not. Eventually Leia decides the risk, however terrible, is worth it. Kier doesn't, choosing Alderaan over the rest of the galaxy. He tries to turn the Rebellion in in the hopes of sparing their homeworld, an effort that he doesn't survive. Bail tells Leia that Kier wasn't wrong exactly. Leia, feeling betrayed, doesn't agree.
• In The Outsiders, Sodapop notes this is why he keeps getting stuck between Ponyboy and Darry during their arguments, because he can understand both of them. Pony can be too sensitive, but Darry has a tendency of being too hard on him. Once they realize how much stress they've put on Sodapop, they agree to try and argue less often.
• The Work and the Glory: Benjamin clashes over and over again with his eldest son Joshua, until Joshua moves out of home, comes within moments of shooting him, then flees town. Joshua resented his father's "my way or the highway" approach to parenting, "As long as you live in this house and eat at this table, you need my permission to blow your nose!" and the excesses of that approach are highlighted in Benjamin's response to Nathan's desire to be baptized. On the other hand, Benjamin wasn't wrong that the people Joshua befriended were petty criminals, his chosen career was dangerous, and his infatuation with Lydia McBride was skewing his thinking. Both of them eventually, over the following years, recognise the mistakes they were each making, with Joshua apologising for the people he hurt along the way, and Benjamin trying to be a better father to his much younger son Matthew.

• The Twilight Zone (1985): "The Road Less Traveled" focuses on a draft dodger named Jeff who wonders what it would be like if he did go to Vietnam. He eventually meets with an alternate version of himself who did go to war, where he's able to see how his choice would have consequences on both sides: while Jeff suffers from Survivor's Guilt and wishes he had experienced the glory of fighting the war, his Alternate Self is a traumatized paraplegic who desperately wishes he never gone to experience the tragedies he had seen.
• An episode of iCarly has Carly and Sam arguing over Sam trading a gift she made for tickets. While Carly has every right to be mad at Sam for carelessly giving away something she worked so hard to make, Sam points out Carly shouldn't be so attached to it and the tickets were for a concert Carly really wanted to go to. By the end, Freddie posts a video about what's going on and has the viewers vote on their opinions, with a majority voting that they should just make up.
• The Rookie (2018): After Harper learns her ex Donovan is planning to move with her daughter out of the state when he gets married, she digs into his fiance Penelope's past and discovers she used to be a sex worker. Harper tells Donovan this so she wouldn't lose custody, but he ends up so mad at Penelope not telling him that he breaks up off the engagement. Penelope is naturally mad when she finds out how he learned the truth and blames Harper for things falling apart. Harper eventually reconciles with Penelope by realizing she's right: while the relationship fell apart because Donovan ultimately couldn't get over the truth, Harper acknowledges that Penelope should've at least been given the choice to reveal her secret.

• Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Played for Laughs and Lampshaded in “You Are Cordially Invited”. Chief O’Brien and Dr. Bashir are discussing why Worf and Jadzia’s wedding is at risk — Worf insists on a traditional Klingon marriage through the House of Martok, while Jadzia just wants to elope and is being very carefree about the whole thing. The two officers discuss how Jadzia thinks Worf is being too stubborn, and how Worf thinks Jadzia is showing no regard for the situation; the problem is “they’re both right.”
• Ted Lasso: Ted and Coach Beard get into an argument when their leadership styles clash. Ted argues that his less harsh and results-focused leadership style got Rojas out of his funk and playing to potential, which Beard never managed. Beard argues that while the softer touch and laissez-faire approach to results might have done well in this situation, they aren't coaching a bottom-tier college team anymore; they are leading professionals whose livelihood depends on them winning games. They eventually reconcile, with Ted taking results a little more seriously, and Beard being a little less Drill Sergeant Nasty.

• Fiddler on the Roof: Tevye is caught in the clash between the traditional world and the modern world. He's a really smart guy, but poor and uneducated. He tries his best to be fair and see both sides of the situation, with many inner monologues about "on the one hand [...] but on the other hand". In the page quote above he gets ridiculed for not simply picking a side when two guys who both have valid ideas stick to parroting slogans at each other instead of making more nuanced arguments for their causes.

• In Deltarune, Ralsei is against fighting or harming anyone - ever - while Susie thinks that fighting is the only way to go. Over the course of the first chapter, there are moments when Susie attacking everyone makes matters worse, and since most enemies can be spared peacefully, there's really no reason for it. However, Ralsei naively falling for an I Surrender, Suckers! from the Big Bad nearly gets everyone killed. Ralsei ashamedly apologizes, admitting that they can't afford to be so soft to everyone. Susie then admits that she was wrong, too — using violence without a second thought isn't working, either.
• In Grand Theft Auto V, Michael wanted to leave the dangerous criminal lifestyle behind for his family's sake, so he betrayed his more Ax-Crazy friends to the FIB. Trevor, as unrepentant as he is, regards the concepts of loyalty and True Companions very highly, and is thus understandably pissed at Michael for his treachery, especially since it got their other runner, Brad, killed. In the Golden Ending, the two acknowledge that they both indeed had a point and finally reconcile.
• I Was a Teenage Exocolonist has the conflict between pacifists and fighters in the colony. Cal doesn't believe in violence, and a peaceful solution is possible, but in the meantime, the colony is under attack by an alien threat and humans aren't wrong to defend their new home. Vace, while a Sociopathic Soldier who gleefully kills wildlife, makes it clear to Cal that defending the colony is necessary for humanity's survival. Another character, a mother, points out that Cal means well in advocating pacifism, but if he needs to protect her baby, he'll need to step up and fight. However, he insists on not getting blood on his hands, except in the "Tangent's Cure" ending, where he dies trying to violently protest against Lum's bioweapon.
• At the climax of Lost Judgment, Yagami's best friend Kaito points out that while Yagami is right that the mastermind and the killers are murderers that are none to careful about collateral damage and accidentally pulling in innocents - methods which can be exploited by truly villainous figures, which only corrupts society further - the mastermind is right that the law and society aren't doing enough to punish bullying and prevent teens from committing suicide because of bullying. By the story's ends, Yagami tells the mastermind he's right that the law isn't perfect, but it can change and he will help become something better.
  Kaito: The way I see it, Tak, Kuwana's makin' sense, too. Just consider it, but, is there really a right answer here? ^{English Dub}The way I see this, Tak... you and Kuwana both have your reasons. Something to consider. But between the both of you... is there really a right answer?

• In Kindred Spirits on the Roof: Matsuri and Miyu are not only captain and vice-captain of the track team, but are also in a relationship that they have agreed to keep secret out of concern over what might happen if other people, like Miyu's parents find out. This involves not making public displays of affection, such as kissing or saying "I love you," at school or anywhere a record might be left (e.g. text messages), and Matsuri ends up having difficulty keeping her promise, much to Miyu's frustration. On the one hand, Miyu has understandable reasons to worry about what might happen if her parents find out, and it's difficult to fault her annoyance with Matsuri for not living up to her end of the agreement (something Matsuri concedes). On the other hand, Matsuri has gone without skinship or other displays of affection for months, and isn't wrong when she points out that this amounts to them hiding their relationship out of fear. At the start of September, Megumi takes Matsuri's side, while Sachi takes Miyu's, and both of them ask Yuna who she thinks is at fault. Regardless of Yuna's answer, she'll have the following thought.

  Yuna: Frankly I think they're both at fault, but they also both have points.

• RWBY: In Vol 6, Team RWBY and Qrow turn on Ozpin after they learn he’s been keeping a dark secret from them, namely that his arch enemy and the series’ Greater-Scope Villain, Salem, is an immortal who can’t be permanently killed, making it seem impossible to defeat. While they’re furious that Ozpin hid such an Awful Truth from them, he tries to justify that he’s been been betrayed far too many times to share such information, and couldn’t risk the chance they’d turn on him. Ultimately, they do just as he predicted, and he locks himself inside Oscar’s mind as he’s disowned. It takes two volumes of soul searching and even greater tragedies to occur on everyone’s parts, but by the time a proper reconciliation occurs, both sides acknowledge one another’s points. While Ozpin apologizes for keeping everyone in the dark, the heroes, having tried to keep the same secret from Ironwood and causing his own downfall in the process, admit that trust isn’t something that can’t be so easily given.

• Common Side Effects: Towards the end of the first season, Marshall admits to Hildy that Frances had a point despite their many disputes about for-profit health. While he doesn't wave off his concerns about for-profit health, he also recognizes that Frances had a point about his lack of planning and foresight about the mushroom's logistics and side effects. After he sets up an operation to distribute the mushrooms to those who need it, it quickly flies off the handle when people accuse him of killing others for not providing the mushrooms when it was unnecessary or impossible to use it, mushrooms also turn out to be a popular drug going around and that people try to take from him, he has a hard time scaling the amount of mushrooms he can produce and it turns out to have side-effects he couldn't predict and that now could become widespread. As a result, he acknowledges the necessity of some of the red tape existing in the pharmaceutical world.
• Family Guy: The rivalry between Brian and Quagmire is presented as both of them having valid points to hate one another. On Quagmire's side, he is right that Brian is an egotistical pretentious blowhard with unlikeable qualities, that the main reason Brian sometimes acts nice to him was in hopes he'd stroke his ego in return rather than out of genuine decency, and that he's not obligated to feign kindness to satisfy Brian's ego. However, Brian isn't wrong to point out that Quagmire constantly goes out his way to antagonize him even when Brian's not bothering him (the main reason Brian snapped and started hating Quagmire back) and that he possesses many of the flaws that he despises Brian for and simply attempts to deflect in other people despite insisting that the difference between the two was that he was honest about it, thus making Quagmire a self-righteous condescending prick. Over the seasons things get to the point where both are portrayed as insecure hypocrites with barely any difference between them.
• The Loud House: In "Fed Up", the kids come into feud with their parents over how dinner is served, which consists of having the same meals for a different day every week. While the kids are naturally bored with eating the same thing over and over, Rita argues that the system is necessary since they need to feed a large family every week on a budget. By the episode's end, the kids realize having to do dinner every week is hard, but Lynn Sr. understands the problem of the monotonous meals and promises to change the menu every once in a while.
• 101 Dalmatian Street: In "Power to the Puppies", Dylan and Dolly argue over how the house should be run and hold an election for who gets to be top dog.

• She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: Deconstruction. It was revealed that Shadow Weaver's descent into darkness began when she was Light Spinner; she suggested to the sorcerers of Mystacor that they join the fight against the Horde and that they use a dark, forbidden spell to stop them. When the sorcerers of Mystacor rejected using her spell and refused to join the fight against the Horde, she was shocked. Light Spinner was particularly shocked that the sorcerers of Mystacor were content to do nothing despite the dangers she showed them of the Horde. Because of that, she decided to cast the forbidden spell herself, which backfired, corrupted her, transforming her into the dark sorcerer's Shadow Weaver, and caused the sorcerers of Mystacor to turn against her, leading her to kill them and join the Horde. Because neither side is willing to compromise, it ended with Shadow Weaver turning against the sorcerers of Mystacor and joining the Horde. Even more tragically, it's implied that had the sorcerers of Mystacor just rejected Shadow Weaver's plan and offered another solution to fight the Horde, she would've listened to them, and this tragedy would've been avoided.
• Star Trek: Lower Decks: The episode "Twovix" opens with the crew of the USS Cerritos being assigned to prepare Voyager (Star Trek: Voyager) for conversion to a museum after returning home, only for events to lead to two of the crew being merged in a transporter accident similar to the events of "Tuvix". The subsequent crisis opens with the Cerritos crew getting their own input on the real-life debate of whether Janeway did the right thing splitting Tuvix, as she essentially murdered an innocent individual to restore two more people back to life. The Cerritos crew are horrified, describing it as outright murder, but acknowledge that Janeway didn't really have the luxury of keeping Tuvix together, as they were stranded in the Delta Quadrant with no Starfleet support or the necessary technology to Take a Third Option, so she couldn't afford to lose two critical crew members. Fortunately, the Cerritos are spared a similar dilemma when the merged crew are forcibly combined into one single entity, with characters being more comfortable splitting the subsequent non-sentient blob of meat back into its original persons.
• Steven Universe: The main conflict of the entire series centers around two opposing viewpoints: From the Crystal Gems' perspective, The Diamonds are the Evil Iron-fisted rulers of Gemkind who enforce a harsh caste system on their people and destroy planets to expand their empire. From the Diamonds' perspective, they are simply following the purpose they believe were bestowed upon them and view the Crystal Gems as a band of traitorous rebels who shattered their youngest sibling, Pink Diamond, over a seemingly innocous planet. It's only when both sides finally come to understand the other and change accordingly that the conflict is finally resolved.
• In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012), the Turtles get into an argument over how to deal with Leatherhead. Mikey thinks he deserves their sympathy, but the others don't want him in their lair as he's prone to violent rages.
