** Chopper did this too in his fight against Baroque Works. Miss Merry Christmas held onto his feet so he couldn't move, while Mr. 4's gun/dog Lasso fired an exploding baseball at him. He screamed as the ball flew towards his head, but then changed back into his (smaller) hybrid form, resulting in the ball flying harmlessly overhead. He even says "Whew, forgot I could do this."
* Sora in ''[[Oh! Edo Rocket]]''.
* The manga adaptation of ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'' has a dramatic [[Take My Hand]] scene where Adell refuses to let go of Rozalin even after she's spent their entire acquaintance screwing him over, after which they spend a heartwarming moment [[Laying On a Hillside]]...then [[Fridge Logic]] catches up with Adell and he realizes that Rozalin had ''[[Winged Humanoid|wings]]'' the entire time. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
** In the ''[[Breath of Fire 4]]'' game this also happens, but the fallen person (Nina) isn't caught in time and falls. Ryu rushes down rumping into ledges to try and catch her, and after going ''past'' her he promptly ([[Face Fault|face]])falls down to the bottom himself.
* The Charas of ''[[Shugo Chara]]'' forget about and later remember their ability to fly in one early episode. Used to [[Rule of Scary|scare]] a character and [[Played for Laughs|amuse]] the audience.

== Literature ==
* In ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone|Harry Potter]]'', Harry and Ron are being strangled by the vines of the Devil's Snare while Hermione is panicking and trying to remember how to combat the plant. She then remembers that the plant shrinks from heat and light. Harry suggests she lights a fire and the brilliant and talented witch, who [[Chekhov's Skill|has been noted as being particularly skilled at creating magic fire]], replies that there is no wood. Ron, as quoted above, manages to scream some sense into her. Justified at that point as Hermione, despite her skill, had spent most of her life as a muggle, whereas Ron had grown up surrounded by magic.
** In ''[[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows|Harry Potter]]'', Hermione gets her own back. Ron panics when {{spoiler|he has to "freeze" the Whomping Willow so they can reach Voldemort's hideout}} and Hermione has to remind him that he's a wizard.
* In ''[[Lone Wolf]]'', you have powers that can be useful in certain situation, but sometimes, the author forgets that the possibility you have that power may exist, and doesn't give you a choice to use the power.
** More commonly, the series has three levels of powers: Kai, Magnakai, and Grand Master. Most of the powers of one tier have lower powered equivalents amongst the lower tier. Similarly, someone of a higher tier always has all the powers of the lower tier, but only a select few of their given tier. This results in your character often being asked if he has a certain power appropriate for his tier (and bad stuff happening if you do not), but the author forgetting that there is no reason the lower tier equivalent - which everyone should have - could not be every bit as effective.
