Line 92:
** Gon, too, undergoes major setback after essentially {{spoiler|using every ounce of his potential growth in nen all at once to demolish Neferpitou, resulting in turning the tables of the [[Curb Stomp Battle]] in exchange for his future inability to use nen.}} While it's not yet known exactly how permanent and thorough the damage is, but needless to say, {{spoiler|he's now missing an arm on top of all of that...}}
* The "Codes" (super-powered humans) of ''[[Code Breaker]]'' suffer from this if they use their powers too much: Okami loses consciousness; Toki becomes a child; Yuuki and a villainous [[Little Miss Badass]] become tiny animals (a cat and a turtle, respectively); Sakura and The President shrink. The Codes can recover, but "Rare Kinds" Sakura and the President require a special liquid made from the President's blood.
* Shizuo from ''[[Durarara!!]]'' is a [[Charles Atlas Superpower|rather exaggerated example]] of what the human body is capable of when it overcomes its unconscious limiters (read: [[Super Strength]]). He's also a perfect example of ''why'' those limiters are there in the first place, as his childhood was filled with painful trips to the emergency room for everything from dislocations, to torn ligaments and muscle, to a shattered spine and pelvis. It's only by virtue of [[Hollywood Healing]] that he didn't completely cripple himself before his body finally grew strong enough to handle the strain.
* Mahoro in ''[[Mahoromatic]]'' has this as the principle reason for her leaving military service and becoming a super powered maid. However, {{spoiler|she is coerced into resuming 'full combat mode' at the end of the series, which if used will drain all her remaining power and end her life immediately.}}
* In ''[[Change 123]]'' the described risks of fighting as Zero are scarily similar to the real life example below. Zero doesn't seem to have the mental block everyone else has and could easily rip her body apart by fighting all-out. Luckily she usually over-exerts herself and passes out before anything like that can happen.

* In [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Have Space
** In ''[[The Long Watch]]'', Ezra Dahlquist, a young nuclear weapons officer, foils a military coup by disassembling the nuclear weapons and smashing the warheads. In doing so {{spoiler|he suffers a lethal dose of radiation. He is given a lead casket and a Geiger counter [[Tear Jerker|"that never was quiet]]."}}
** In Heinlein's ''[[The Green Hills of Earth]]'', the poet Rhysling makes critical repairs to a nuclear core, but sustains fatal radiation poisoning. He composes {{spoiler|the title song as he dies}}.
Line 209:
** And after the first incident, Gulcasa is out of commission for ''two entire chapters.''
** In ''[[Blaze Union]]'', he is revealed to suffer from similar, albeit less severe, collapses and illnesses due to his constant use of [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|Genocide]] putting too much stress on his body. One onscreen incident has him become so sick that {{spoiler|if he does not [[Human Sacrifice|kill a human with Genocide]] ''immediately''}}, he will die. Further upgrading his demonic powers in ''[[Yggdra Union]]'' seems to push this beyond what Gulcasa and the Imperial Army can handle, which is even worse because [[The Caretaker]] isn't there to nurse him back to health anymore.
* The Rune of Punishment from ''[[Suikoden IV]]''. It can annihilate entire navies, sure, but the rune will [[Meaningful Name|punish]] its wielder for such an abuse of power. Most of the previous wielders simply died from overuse, causing their own obliteration, and the rune's transference to the nearest valid host. The hero of the game, Lazlo, naturally winds up having to use it, too, saving [[La Résistance]] several times, and spending days in a coma as a result. {{spoiler|If you don't get the [[
** ''[[Suikoden V]]'' has a few similar concepts... Raging Nostrum,a drug developed by the assassin organization "Nether Gate", sends the user into a powerful and violent rage... and then causes them to collapse dead when it's all over.
** When {{spoiler|Sialeeds}} unleashes the full power of the Twilight Rune, she ends up dying soon after. {{spoiler|It also claims the already mortally-wounded Lyon's life later, as she was mainly only kept alive by the Dawn Rune to begin with. If you collected all 108 Stars of Destiny, she'll be revived. If you didn't, she dies permanently.}}
Line 300:
* In ''[[Re Boot]]'', Bob suspected this would happen when he fused with Glitch, which was broken at the time. Overuse of his new powers nearly kills him later, with a transparent and static visual effect when it happens.
* In the ''[[South Park]]'' episode "Margaritaville", Kyle uses a credit card with no spending limit to pay off the town's debts. This task turned out to be so exhaustive that when he collapsed, everyone begins to fear that he had died.
* Happens to Applejack in the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
