Line 28:
* ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' gave each girl both an elemental-themed attack and a special power attached to an emotion that could be used in civilian form (Ichigo could turn into a catgirl, Bu-ling could create giant boulders...), as well as the common power of speaking to their animal.
* In ''[[Corrector Yui]]'', there are eight Corrector Programs, but only four basic [[Clothes Make the Superman|Elemental Suits]] (not counting the specialized ones, which aren't tied to a specific program character but to the human characters). However, even though the ratio means two programs to a suit, depending which program Yui gets the suit from, she'll be able to do different things. In Asamiya Kia's remake of the manga, there are eight basic Elemental Suits.
* ''[[Naruto]]'' may be a special case. Each character has a rather unique special ability, (except [[Badass Normal|Rock Lee]]) but all are trained in advanced level martial arts, and many of the lead cast (particularly Naruto and Sasuke) focus more on their martial arts powers than their special ability, so there's not much of a "only character X has the power to succeed here" issues. Also, most powers are passed down through families to make sure that the art isn't lost. In case that's not enough, it's a pretty safe bet that Kakashi (Copycat Ninja) or the Hokage knows the technique as well. Some of them are even inherited as a specific bloodline trait.<br />To put it a bit more simply: it's not a case of "everyone only has one power," but "except for a few inherited traits, there's nothing stopping anyone from learning everything but time, effort, and knowing how." Clans/schools/teams that seem to have a "specialty" is usually due to traditions teaching a particular style.
** A very odd aversion can be seen with the Six Paths of Pain: it gives the user control of six different bodies with their own special powers, but ''two'' of those bodies' powers are for interrogation and soul removal, but they work differently (one removes your soul to read your mind, the other removes the souls of people who give false or no information).
* ''[[One Piece]]'' has many kinds of power giving Devil Fruits, but there can never be two of the same fruit at the same time.
