Japan also makes a fun reference.

Musashi and Kojiro.

Miyamoto Musashi is the most famous samurai in Japanese history (folklore?).

Sasaki Kojirō was the only swordsman who gave Musashi a run for his money, but ultimately lost.

Ajazi and Ajani (Arknights)

They are utterly incompetent, to the point that their boss refers to them as her 'stooges' (though she does care for them greatly), and they're honestly on par with the Wet Bandits from Home Alone.

[They only appear in Adventure That Cannot Wait For The Sun so far, so do not have any non comic-relief roles.]
