Line 323:
*** Let's not forget the Church's Executors. Magi like Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou can magically buff themselves up and sprint over fifty kilometers per hour. Exceptional Executors like Kotomine Kirei can do this ''without any magic''; Kirei himself once smashed a tree trunk in half using just his legs.
** Assassin from ''[[Fate/stay night]]'' has Tsubame Gaeshi, a sword strike that contains three slashes happening at the same time. This initially doesn't seem like a big deal, especially in comparison to some of the more ridiculous Noble Phantasms, like a sheath that bequeaths immortality and a spear that hits before it attacks, instead of the regular way around. The difference is that Tsubame Gaeshi is not a Noble Phantasm. It's not even magecraft. It's a physical technique. He was sitting around trying to think of how to cut down a swallow in flight, and decided that you'd have to be able to perform more than one slash at a time. He promptly decided that this was impossible, [[Beyond the Impossible|and then did it anyway]]. [[All There in the Manual|According to extra material]], he actually brute forces one of the 5 remaining true magics [[Rule of Cool|by swinging his sword really fast.]]
* Solid Snake of the ''[[Metal Gear]]'' series has fought and killed [[Mind Screw|Mind Screwing]] floating psychics, [[Humongous Mecha|giant nuclear-armed walking tanks]], and everything in between, despite being a normal human (well, as normal as one of the clones of a legendary soldier can be). In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', he cuts through three war zones and two enemy bases while having ''the body of a seventy-year-old''. Of course he is a clone with the recessive genes enhancing strength and from nanos and the fact that his Octocamo doubles as armor and a muscle suit.
** Not to mention in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', he destroys a tank using only ''grenades'' because he didn't have any anti-tank weapons. This is referenced to by Otacon in Guns of the Patriots.
** His clone brother Liquid Snake is similarly impressive, shooting down F-16s with a HIND helicopter, which he's able to pilot in the middle of a ''blizzard''. Surviving the crash of said HIND, the destruction of Metal Gear REX with him aboard, falling 3 stores off REX's remains after a fistfight with Solid Snake, and being repeatedly shot with a machine gun. It takes {{spoiler|FOXDIE}} to actually kill him.
