A character who has some kind of highly developed or superhuman ability loses it for an episode, has to experience life as an average Joe. The character often actually enjoys the experience of being "normal". Or he will hate it and [[Sudden Humility|understand how hard it is to have no superpowers to help you]]. By the end of the episode he gets his skill back, usually just in time to save the day with it.
Line 12 ⟶ 13:
[[Bag of Spilling]] can be considered this trope when it applies to [[Video Game Characters]] between one game and its sequel.

* A brief story arc on ''[[Ranma ½]]'' sees Ranma going from unnaturally strong uberhunk to a pathetic weakling who literally couldn't hurt a toddler, thanks to a moxibustion "attack" by Happosai. His many enemies (minus [[The Rival|Ryoga]]) are happy to take advantage of this and beat the crap out of him as much as possible. Just as he's resigned himself to the situation, Ranma gets his strength back, and celebrates by giddily demolishing his house.
