Beyond the Impossible/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

** One of their battles was calculated to have a ''zero percent'' chance of success. They succeeded anyway.

** The whole series' premise plays this trope to the letter, as seen in its theme:

''[[Memetic Mutation|ROW! ROW! FIGHT THE POWAH!]]''<br />

''Touch the untouchable.''<br />

''[[Memetic Mutation|ROW! ROW! FIGHT THE POWAH!]]'' }}

* ''[[Black Jack]]''. [http://tezukainenglish.com/?q=node/1 Tezuka in English] sums it up best simply by listing a small fraction of the doctor's work:

* ''[[Black Jack|Black Jack 21]]'' takes all of this and turns it [[Up to Eleven]]. Example scenario: Dr. Black Jack must save the life of the pilot (critically injured by a point blank grenade hit in the cockpit) of a turbulence-ridden and heavily damaged jet so that he may guide someone else into landing it before the plane runs out of fuel and dooms all of its passengers. However, before BJ can do this, he must first get into the cockpit via an emergency exit that can only be accessed by exiting the passenger cabin and climbing atop of the plane's fuselage, all while the plane is still ''thousands of feet in the air and flying at full speed''.

* ''[[Baccano]]'': The rules of Immortality are spelled out and fixed but Fermet has defied one of the biggies. {{spoiler|Namely that being eaten by another immortal is the only way they can die. He's recovered from it twice.}}

** In ''World Record'', Dan manages to run fast enough to cause glitches in the Matrix as it struggles to keep up with him. Even when the Matrix ''freezes the program'', it doesn't stop him for long.

** After the Machines manage to reconnect him and make sure he can never walk again, he briefly manages to glitch gravity and begin ''floating''.

** In ''Kid's Story'', The Kid managed to wake ''himself'' up from the Matrix, an act ''nobody'' considered possible.
