** Rugal Bernstein and Krizalid have first forms wherein they wear a tuxedo for Rugal or a huge coat for Kriz. Once they come off...well, [[SNK Boss|don't say we didn't warn you]]. Rugal's tux is probably worn by Rugal for laughs, where as Kriz's coat is unexplained but could be this. Rugal flings his off, and Krizalid burns his, BTW. |

* ''[[Street Fighter]] 3'''s Oro willingly wears one of his arms in a sling while fighting as to use both would run the risk of killing his opponent due to his sheer power. During one of his [[Limit Break|Super Arts]], however, he removes the arm and beats the crap out of the opponent. |

* In ''[[StarCraft]]'', the Terran Ghosts go through brutal training to suppress their innate abilities and allow their superiors to keep better control over them. It can be reversed, though; Infested Kerrigan raids a Terran ship to find out how to do it, unlocking the Psionic Storm attack. |

* The gold rings on [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Shadow the Hedgehog]]'s wrists act as a limiter. It was barely implied in the games, however in ''[[Sonic X]]'' he takes them off in certain desperate situations. In the [[Sonic the Hedgehog (comics)|comic]] he takes them off to fight Enerjak, warning the people of New Mobotropolis to "clear the area" and giving Nicole difficulty in maintaining the city. |

** It's canon in the games as of [[Sonic the Hedgehog (2006 video game)||Sonic 2006]]. When Mephiles surrounds Shadow by duplicating himself several hundred times, Shadow removes the rings from his wrists and proceeds to curbstomp the entire clone army. He immediately puts them back on afterward. |

* Used ''twice on the same character'' in ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]''. A piece of [[Applied Phlebotinum]] is used to bring Jade down 30 levels so he wouldn't be spectacularly overleveled for most of the game. Later, through a sidequest or two, you learn that Jade's eyes are where his ability to use fonic artes is most concentrated, and his glasses prevent all the fonic energy from going out of control and destroying him and whatever he happens to be standing by. ([[The Glasses Come Off|The glasses do come off]] for the final battle against the [[Big Bad]], however...) |

* In ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'', pretty much every [[Super Robot]] used by the Shadow-Mirrors is able to deactivate its power limiter by reciting a code word or phrase, i.e. "Code: Kirin". This is never used as a plot point, however, just an implied powerup during the characters' strongest attacks. |
