Giving the Sword to A Noob: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* In ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'', Cagalli climbs into the cockpit of the Akatsuki, a prototype gundam that is extremely powerful in capable hands, so she can take it to the Battle of Orb. When she gets there, she tries to use it, but winds up getting [[Curb Stomp Battle|owned]] by Shin.

* In ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', Goku attempts to use the [[Combined Energy Attack|Spirit Bomb]] against Vegeta early in the series. However, since it's so difficult to charge up, he gets interrupted. When someone else attacks Vegeta, Goku gives what's left of the energy to Krillin, who's significantly less powerful than Goku. When he throws the attack, Krillin misses. However, Gohan is able to reflect it back toward Vegeta, scoring a successful hit. Unfortunately, since much of the energy was lost earlier, the Spirit Bomb fails to finish off its intended target, though it still deals a lot of damage. In other words, [[Zig-Zagging Trope|the attack fails, then is passed on to the noob, then misses, then is bounced back by another noob, then hits, but still fails to deal the necessary damage]].

* In ''[[Fairy Tail]]'', {{spoiler|Cana gained one of the three ultimate magic of her guild: Fairy Glitter. However, she got it only because she found Mavis's grave before the others in time of need, and it turns out that even with that magic in her possession, she's incapable of using it correctly. In the end, she's defeated and she loses the magic some time later, since it was a short time loan. Instead of a S-Class mage wannabe, true S-Class mages clearly would have been better choices for it.}}

* In the second chapter of ''[[Rave Master]]'' Shiba is too injured to fight when Demon Card attacks the island. The enemy is too strong for Haru to fight bare handed, so Shiba lends Haru his sword. Haru hasn't the slightest idea how to use it.
