* ''[[Vampire Hunter D]]'' cannot be stopped, only slowed down. Despite of being early on mentioned to have half of vampire's strength and half of the weaknesses, he has since become such a [[Marty Stu]] that literally nothing that the most powerful entities in his world can dish out at him can even [[The Stoic|can even make him change his expression.]] The only one who could even remotely threaten him is his [[Dracula|daddy dearest.]]
** Similar to the Golgo 13 example, and the Alucard example, he has reached the level of plot device. The story hinges on the growth and changes of the people surrounding him, and whether it will be a [[Bittersweet Ending]], or a [[Downer Ending]], or a [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]].
* ''[[Bobobobo Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo]]'' is invincible. But since the show and character are both [[Widget Series|crazy]], it's played for laughs and not to be taken very seriously. He does have weaknesses and gets hurt a few times, but never seriously enough to matter. {{spoiler|Except during the final battle of the original series, but even then he eventually [[He's Back|recovers]]}}.
* In ''[[Sonic X]]'', [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] leans into this territory on occasion. He is often presented with a cocky, unphasable [[Bugs Bunny]]-esque attitude, treating his often effortless victories against [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Dr.]] [[Affably Evil|Eggman]] as little more than a game.
* [[Subverted Trope]] in ''[[Mushishi]]''. On the one hand, the protagonist, Ginko, always seems to identify the ''mushi'' at work in a particular episode with astonishing speed and accuracy, which would fit this trope; however, [[Bittersweet Ending|this doesn't always guarantee a completely happy ending]], as other factors, such as his arriving too late, the patients not following his instructions or there simply being nothing to be done in the first place, frequently get in the way of this.
