Line 100:
* In ''[[Power Rangers Jungle Fury]],'' the Rangers (and other members of their order) can generate [[Ki Attacks]] in the form of the animal they're linked to... including giant versions that solidify into, essentially, [[Humongous Mecha]]. And this is one of the more basic techniques...
** The same thing happens, naturally, in ''[[Juken Sentai Gekiranger]]'', but with different names for both formations and attacks.
** In a way, ''all'' attacks are [[Ki Attacks]] in the [[Power Rangers]] version, with the various weapons actually channeling one's animal spirit. The shiny suits themselves come from another source, but the morphers can only be activated by animal spirit power. Which means if yours is out of balanced due to angst, or stolen by an enemy, you're screwed. It may be true to an extent in Gekiranger (Red's [[How Do I Shot Web?]] moment was the same, and White's finger missiles are actually ''his ki blade channeled differently and fired off by his gauntlet thing,'' something not made explicit in PRJF though the visuals remained.) but in Jungle Fury, animal spirit being the power behind everything and the different ways it can be used is a ''much'' bigger plot point.
* Ki powers were one of the main shticks of ''[[Gosei Sentai Dairanger]]''. Each Ranger had a different specialty. For instance, [[The Hero|Ryou]] was skilled at [[Playing With Fire]], and [[Kid Appeal Character|Shouji]] was a [[Gravity Master]].

** Tatterdemalion, an Israeli superhero sponsored by their government, does something similar, though its not a [[Ki Attack]] in the "oriental martial arts" sense of the word.
* In the [[Whateley Universe]], martial-artists develop and use ''chi'' in various ways:
** Toni "Chaka" Chandler, one of the original main characters, has the mutant ability to use ki, plus the ability to see how ki flows in other people (which lets her do - among other things - the paralyzing nerve punch), and also the ability to heterodyne her ki with ki energy flowing through the earth so she can pull as much ki as she needs from the ground. She's regarded as one bad mamma-jamma by her superpowered classmates at the [[Super
** [[Badass Normal]] Chou "Bladedancer" Lee develops her ''chi'' more conventionally, through meditation, tai-chi exercises, and regular training, to empower her martial-arts, heighten her senses, heal herself and others, and so on.
* Allen Covenant of the [[Omega Universe]] runs across a clan of ninja with chi-powers in ''Covenant Annual #1''. Oddly enough and unknown to most characters in-universe, superpowers all come [[Meta Origin|from the same place]].
Line 183:
* Various Ki based feats all have perfectly mundane explanations, much like a wizard's trick. Calling a feat Ki based is the same as choosing to believe the rabbit materialized out of thin air rather then check the hat for a secret compartment.
