@Cryptar Thanks for the response!

I still think it's worth mentioning that their newly formed bond of friendship in You're Getting Old did in fact revert back the episode after. It's an important detail, and not including it implies that there was a genuine shift from rivalry to friendship in recent seasons that (besides season 20) just isn't there or shown. Especially with episodes such as Ginger Cow, Obama Wins, and Magic Bush showing their rivalry on the fore front.

The line "They seem to hate each other but not totally" is accurate in regards to Kyle's side of the equation but not really Cartman's, if that makes sense. Black Friday Trilogy basically shows that Cartman will appear amiable to Kyle when he proves beneficial to a goal of sorts, but as soon as he doesn't will drop him at a moment's notice (even informing Kenny to have Kyle taken care of). With that into account, hatred on Cartman's side of hatred at least seems total and genuine.
