Line 11:
** He also manages to damn near kill a fellow captain using a high-power ''hado'' (destructive art) without performing the full incantation, which means that the technique was 1/3 its normal strength.
*** Don't even mention {{spoiler|When he becomes a [[Physical God]] with the Hogyoku, causing Ichigo to have to get an [[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]] in order even curbstomp him, let alone beat him.}}
* The cast of the webcomic ''[[Adventurers!]]'', which is set in an [[RPG Mechanics Verse]], have found and exploited a few of these.
* On the Comic Book Rumbles board, [[Shakugan no Shana|Shana's]] fuzetsu is considered a game breaker, as it allows her to essentially render any character not immune to it helpless.
** Similarly, [[The Flash]] or any other character with [[Super Speed]].
Line 33:
** You think ''that's'' a [[Game Breaker]]? Later volumes in the [[Light Novel]] introduce ''even more powerful characters than Accelerator'', such as [[Magnificent Bastard|Fiamma of the Right]], whom Touma even describes as an RPG Character with an '''[[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose|I WIN]]''' command! Touma himself skirts the line closely, since in a world full of magical powers and supernatural abilities, [[Anti-Magic|a right hand]] [[Power Nullifier|that essentially kills all other abilities]] ''is the'' [[Game Breaker]].
*** How crazy is this series? Fiamma {{spoiler|eventually gains power greater than that of ''[[God]]''}}... and he's still only the fourth-most powerful character in the thing.
* ''[[Darkseid]]'' has Omega Beams that cannot be avoided or survived. If he can see you, he can kill you, and there is nothing you can do about it. Naturally most of his defeats involve their effectiveness being massively downplayed, or he just flat-out forgets that he has them.
* Kazuya Aoi, the protagonist of the manga ''[[Freezing]]'', has his Advance Freezing that can freeze fighters even in [[Powered Armor|Pandora Mode]] to actually be able to let Satellizer hit her opponents. [[Dangerously Genre Savvy|Unfortunately, this also means that other Pandora users]] gun for him first.
* The spartan from [[Deadliest Warrior]] has a game breaker, in the form of his big ass shield. In both his fights, against a ninja, and a samurai respectively, he never has to do much besides let his enemy tire themselves out by fruitlessly whacking at his shield, then he'll move in for the kill.
* Kenshin's master [[Mentors|Hiko Seijurou]] from ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' was described by his creator as being this; he has an extremely powerful sword style and the physical capability to use it fully and could probably [[Curb Stomp Battle|beat every villain in the series before lunch]] if he felt so inclined. [[Figure It Out Yourself|He never does, though]]- he was also designed to be extremely anti-social so that [[All Powerful Bystander|he almost never gets involved]], preventing the series from being really short.
* In ''[[Mistborn]]'' the two primary magic systems are allomancy (where small pieces of particular metals are swallowed and then "burned" to grant particular superhuman powers) and feruchemy (where one can store up one's own attributes in pieces of metal and tap into them later- for example, becoming very weak and frail for a time lets you store the energy to gain [[Super Strength]] at a later time). For the most part, the two systems are [[Mutually Exclusive Magic]]- except for [[Evil Overlord|the Lord Ruler]], who was both an allomancer ''and'' a feruchemist, meaning that he could swallow and burn metals in which he'd stored his own qualities, giving him access to ''insane'' amounts of power that no-one else in the series could match.
* Alluded to in the title of PC gaming site ''Rock Paper Shotgun''.
* In ''[[Re Boot]]'' Bob's [[Do-Anything Robot|Glitch]] lets him be a [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard|cheating bastard]] in every game he's in. Then there was the one time he (mistakenly) brings a bomb into a racing game, and the explosion crashes the game. And the one time Matrix pulled out his Gun, in a Golf Game.
* The NES version of ''[[Monopoly]]'' allows the player to make offers on AI players' property, which the AI will accept a certain percent of the time depending on how high the offer is. However, since there's no limit to how many times an offer can be made per turn, the player can repeatedly offer an extremely low amount for a property and the AI will eventually agree. Effectively, this means the player can take over the entire board with ease.
* In the ''[[Gundam]]'' franchise, the [[Turn aA Gundam (Anime)|Turn A and Turn X]] completely overpower anything else in the series. Here's a partial list of their abilities: self-repair via nanomachines, teleportation, thrusters equal in strength to a battleship's, bending light to briefly turn invisible, I-fields that can even block kinetic weaponry, and, of course, the infamous "[[Grey Goo|Moonlight Butterfly]]", which knocked Earth back into the stone age in one fell swoop. These mobile suits were designed for the explicit purpose of ''interstellar'' warfare, each expected to take on the military forces of an entire planet and win. All this from an ostensibly [[Real Robot]] series.
* The [[Cool Car|Porsche 917]] was such a good race car that the Le Mans organizers rewrote the rules after the 1970 season to ban it.
* Pog has 2. One, Unoffical slammers were often larger and thicker than official Slammers, making it much easier to score if you were using then, for no real drawback. A much better one was to simply throw the slammer at the SIDE of the pile, which could often knock over more than half of the Pogs on turn 1, rendering the game unwinnable for anyone else.
