Ordinarily, someone could be severely challenged when facing off against an opponent of a different fighting style, requiring hard work and training to beat them.

* In ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', the Kamehameha is a powerful attack that took decades for Kamesennin (a.k.a. Master Roshi) to perfect. Goku saw Kamesennin perform the attack once, and pretty much got the hang of it after only a few times. A number of other characters, including Tenshinhan and Majin Buu, use this trope inconsistently.
** Buu seems to be pretty consistent about it actually. He doesn't always throw the attack right back at the one who used it but he copies a number of powerful moves after seeing one of the Z-Fighters use it; including {{spoiler|Vegeta}}'s suicide explosion attack (which Buu can just regenerate from after using) and Goku's Instant Transmission Technique (which Kid Buu uses to chase the heroes across the universe when they try to perform a strategic retreat near the end of the arc).

* Road Roller Extreme from ''[http://fav.me/d4a27sp Super Milestone Wars]'', a ''[[Super Robot Genre]]'' that can assume the power or [[Mecha Expansion Pack]] of any other super robot in fiction.
* In the [[Alternate Universe]] ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' fic ''[[Luminosity]]'', Addy can, upon physical contact, perfectly replicate the powers of any person with special abilities (called "witches"). She can only hold one at a time, however.
* In the ''[[Touhou]]'' [[Fanfic]]fic ''[[Imperfect Metamorphosis]]'', {{spoiler|Rin Satsuki can absorb other people}}. By doing so, she becomes able to replicate their powers and appearances.
* The gloriously bonkers ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' [[Crack Fic]] ''[[A Little Angel On My Shoulder]]'' has the Instrumemory system, which is a bit different from most examples of this trope since it involves the Shoulder Angels (basically pint-sized ghosts of the canon Angels) temporarily merging with the Eva to allow it to borrow the Angel in question's abilities.

* Alice in ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street]]|A Nightmare on Elm Street IV: Dream Master]]'' is an interesting example. ''She'' is the one mega manning even though ''Freddy'' is the one doing the killing.
* Po from ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' learns the Wuxia finger hold, and a technique to manipulate water droplets after watching them once. His master Shifu is a little bit jealous.
