* In a first-season episode of ''[[Ranma
** In a much later episode, Happosai, ticked off at Ranma interfering with his [[Panty Thief|undie raids]], takes Kuno and offers him "Speed of Light elixir", which he claims will make him superfast. It turns him into a [[Lethal Joke Character]], even upgrading his [[Razor Wind]] attacks, but it's implicitly at least as much due to the [[Training From Hell]] Happosai put him through (running into ''occupied'' women's bathing areas, locker rooms, and other places where they were nude, while trying to evade their attacks and survive being beaten to a pulp). Said "elixir" is revealed to actually be tap water and [[Squick|the scrapings from under Happosai's fingernails]].
* Brutally and heartbreakingly subverted in the ''[[Vampire Princess Miyu]]'' episode "The Red Shoes". The titular shoes are given to Miyu's classmate Miho (a [[Shrinking Violet]] and aspiring [[Idol Singer]]) by her manager, and stated to magically make her an unparalleled singer. And they actually ''do just that''. {{spoiler|But they do so by sucking her [[Life Energy]], and worse yet, once Miyu has defeated the Shinma who gave them to poor Miho, they can never be removed again. Miyu has to bite her friend and exchange blood with her in order to save her life. When last seen, Miho is physically better, but she's confined in an hospital.}}
