Line 67:

* Parodied twice in ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou-sensei]]''. In one instance, Harumi's glasses are revealed to have a tremendous weight and prevent her from exercising her full athletic potential (and she's an amazing athlete with the glasses on). The terminology used to describe them is a [[Shout-Out]] to the [[Restraining Bolt]] for mecha in ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. On another occasion, Nozomu is challenged by Lee Nakanao who is a parody of the stock Rival/ [[Worthy Opponent]] of shounen fighting anime. Lee is a [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] with an [[Eyepatch of Power]], and when providing stats on him, the manga indicates that the eyepatch restrains his full power and he'd go berserk if he removed it.

* Yuki Nagato from ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' requests permission from her boss to use her powers, and later adds a second layer of restriction in the form of Kyon.

* The mail-order [[Powered Armor|Power Suit]] that Gosunkugi buys in ''[[Ranma ~~One Half~~|Ranma 1/2]]''. All things considered, it's extremely powerful tech: it can withstand Ranma's full-power punches without even a dent (and injuring Ranma's knuckles in return,) provides its wearer the speed to deliver [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs]] on par with Ranma, and, naturally, also provides [[Super Strength]]. What prevents misuse and abuse by any common crook? Three basic rules: a) it's unbelievably ''heavy'', so once assembled, it effectively locks into place and the user cannot budge one inch until his rival is in range, at which point [[Chained Heat|it automatically latches onto them with a retractable handcuff]] and powers up; b) once latched onto the rival, the armor will deactivate and fall apart by itself as soon as the user successfully strikes the enemy; and c) the user has a time limit to accomplish this, otherwise the armor will self-destruct.
