Line 176:
** Without Silas Heap opening the Sealed room in the Palace and unwittingly releasing Queen Etheldredda in the process in ''Physik'', the whole plot wouldn't have occurred.
* ''[[World War Z]]'': A good deal of the entire world (except Israel) seems to have become complete idiots for large portions of the book, by burying their heads in the sand and trying to ignore/suppress the zombie problem until it was too late. Most notably the Battle of Yonkers. The galling part is that many of the same people responsible for that had a [[Smart Ball]] before that and later on. The US military suddenly became absolutely incompetent for that one sequence to happen.
* ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'':
** Many cases of a powerful esper or magician fighting someone weaker require them to use subpar tactics to let their opponent have a chance. A notable example is Accelerator's fights against Amata. Accelerator is [[Superpower Lottery|one of the most powerful characters in the series]], being capable of reflecting any attack and propelling any object at high speeds (among other things). Amata has a technique which allows his melee attacks to bypass Accelerator's reflection, and a sonic attack that prevents Accelerator from using [[Blow You Away|using wind attacks]]. There should still be countless ways for Accelerator to win - kicking a rock at high speeds, shooting Amata with a normal gun, or simply levelling the entire block. Needless to say, he never tries any of these, instead charging right into harm's way.
** When Yuiitsu steals World Rejector (a power that can banish people or objects to another world), she doesn't immediately know how to use it, in a subversion of [[Instant Expert]]. Touma yells at Salome to be careful of World Rejector... in the process ''explaining exactly how to use it''. This is immediately lampshaded by Salome, who points out that she already knows this information.
