So many definitions, but they all end up the same ; basically it's comparison between two words, and naturally, compare them and start to see the difference and similarities.
The series I would like to compare Juxtaposition is GetBackers ; a very classic yet still current anime/manga series.
Light / Dark - Midou Ban, the brunette with purple glasses wields dark-cursed powers such as 'SnakeBite' (can handle up to 200kg weight) which he chants in a series of curse with sentences involves "...This curse of mine..." or similar to that. While Amano Ginji, the blonde with green vest is a wielder of electricity with a personality to match it - one so bright that sparkles like Edward Cullen (sh--, taboo name) with a childish attitude that likes to 'manja' with Midou Ban. Yet, these 2 characters can come together and form a service called Recovery Service, which has a 100% chance of getting back items that are taken away.Trapped / Freedom - Amano Ginji came from a unfinished tower called Limitless Fortress, which the villagers of this tower are trapped, cannot come out of this fortress ; forever stuck, and Midou Ban is from the outside world (Japan). These 2 met up after Amano Ginji escaped from that hell. Yet, Amano Ginji has more freedom to control his electricity power within the Limitless Fortress instead of the outside world. Trapped, yet free.
Betrayal / Friendship - Back when Amano Ginji belongs in the Limitless Fortress, his nickname was Lightning Emperor, alongside with his partners Threadmaster Kazuki, Beastmaster Shidou, Makubex, and Ginji's most trusted partner, Kurusu, who was actually the 'Judas' among the 4. Friendship and betrayal all wrapped into one.
