** The rest of the [[Fan Nickname|Inner Senshi]] also became this trope for a brief period during the [[Filler Arc]] of ''[[Sailor Moon|Sailor Moon R]]''. Sailor Moon got her powers and memories reawakened in the first episode, but the other four Senshi still just think they're normal girls, because Luna and Sailor Moon wanted them to be able to live normal lives. When the [[Monster of the Week]] shows up, they [[Jumped At the Call|jump into the fight without any powers or knowledge of their nature.]] And while they aren't perfect, they do better than the solo Usagi.
** Mamoru Chiba/Tuxedo Mask. He doesn't have any of the finishing attacks of the Sailor Senshi but is usually the last one to go down, making great use of his tactical mind, physical strength (which is a little above average, but not ''that'' much), and a few key weapons. This guy is basically Japanese Batman.
* Hubb Lebowski of ''[[Wolf's Rain]]'' starts the series as an ineffectual wuss with allergies, but by the time the [[EndoftheThe End of the World Asas We Know It|world ends]] he's evolved into a badass that keeps up with the main characters out of [[Determinator|sheer bloody-minded determination]] even after his wife dies. His refusal to die results in one of the most cringe-inducing parts of the series, since he lets himself fall off the side of what looks like the tallest mountain of the world and still lives long enough after the impact to try and smoke a cigar.
* ''[[Psycho Busters]]'' has Kakeru, who, despite being the only one ''without'' psychic powers, is still able to kick ass by analyzing the flaws of each psychic and using it to his advantage. {{spoiler|However, he may actually be a [[Badass Abnormal]] instead since he ''does'' have psychic powers sealed inside him, but he's unaware of it.}}
* ''[[Claymore]]'''s {{spoiler|Raki, post time-skip}}. Unlike the ladies, he has no Youki to increase his strength, no ability to sense demons beyond the regular five senses, and he certainly is a lot less durable... Not to mention he presumably heals at the same rate as a normal human. He's just a regular guy with seven years of sword training under his belt... And he easily kills the sort of youma that was giving Clare trouble at the beginning of the series.
