Line 23:
** To put it into context, when one transcends both Shinigami and Hollow, they acquire the power to transcend Reason itself. Aizen took this trope literally {{spoiler|when he destroyed Koutotsu, a Being of Reason, by letting it ram into him; it exploded on impact.}}
** On a smaller scale, Kenpachi can use his shikai without knowing his zanpaktuou's name. There was an entire episode where the [[The Hero]] learned the name of his and everyone else has to do the same, but Kenpachi is [[Unskilled but Strong|so freakin' strong]] he ignored the supernatural rule and forced the shikai.
* [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]] is driven by an attempt to break [[Rule Number One]] in Alchemy: [[Equivalent Exchange]]. {{spoiler|It turns out [[Magic aA Is Magic A]], and the best thing an alchemist can do is be creative in their price.}}
** Although Kimblee acomplishes an impossible feat by not only {{spoiler|surviving [[You Will Be Assimilated|assimilation by Pride, but holding him back from fleeing into Edward's body]].}}
*** Technically not impossible; the reason {{spoiler|most people would be assimilated is that the constant pressure of the suffering of millions of souls would break their minds, rendering them unable to concentrate enough to maintain individuality.}} Unlike Lin Yao, who survived through sheer force of will, Kimblee says that {{spoiler|he survived because not only were the screams of the suffering not unpleasent, they were like music to him.}} Knowing Kimblee, he [[Chaotic Evil|probably wasn't bluffing]]
Line 31:
** Speaking of Vegetto, when he got turned into a jawbreaker by Super Buu, he revealed he could not only control himself in that state, but actually effectively fight him, and was probably even ''more'' dangerous as a candy drop, because of the small size and speed that made it harder for Buu to fight him. No other character has even demonstrated that they could become completely mobile when Buu turned them into candy. The implication with Vegetto is that he could by simply being that strong.
* ''[[Detective Conan (Manga)|Detective Conan]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpbcjjDA8R8 Movie 5: Countdown to Heaven]. Conan jumps between two ''skyscrapers'' on a ''skateboard''. And it only gets crazier from there.(Warning: some spoilers for the ending.)
* [[Death Note (Manga)|Death Note]]: Light ''tries'' to do this with the Death Note's rules but [[Magic aA Is Magic A]] and he can only fake it. It bites him in the ass later on.
* [[Diebuster]]: To quote from the final episode: {{spoiler|"Impossible...the black hole is going to split...That's not allowed in this universe...}}
* ''[[Digimon Adventure]]'' commenced before the Ultimate (dub Mega) level was introduced in the broader canon, so the level only first appeared within the last third of the series; as such the series generally called the Perfect level the strongest level and its members "fully-evolved" and "strongest Digimon". It was introduced by Vamdemon, already an immensely powerful Perfect who had already singlehandedly overwhelmed the heroes several times before being killed, being resurrected as the Ultimate-level VenomVamdemon and proceeding to wipe the floor with the heroes. Yamato compares it to changing the rules partway through the game.
Line 47:
** Then there's [[Badass Grandpa|Master Asia]], who regularly beats the crap out of giant robots with a cloth belt...its length seems to vary greatly depending on need. And his giant robot has a Giant Robot unicorn...which is piloted by his horse.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' Usually the girls in this universe lose their powers as they grow up. The titular protagonist decided she wasn't going to follow that rule.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' features Jack Rakan who does this regularly. For example: a particular villain had {{spoiler|warped reality so that he ''ceases to exist entirely'', prompting a [[Heroic BSOD]] and [[Super -Powered Evil Side]] relapse in the [[Kid Hero]]. Rakan immediately ''wills himself back into existing'' temporarily, for the sole purpose of [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|smacking Negi upside the head]]}}. Chisame says he has 'infinite cheats'.
** Vampires (In the second anime at least) are stated to be weak to garlic but Evangeline adds it to her ramen.
** A prerequisite of a Pactio is having a soul. Chachamaru believed she couldn't get a Pactio because she is an artificial construct. Either she really did have a soul, or Negi's magic is great enough to screw over the rules of the Pactio system and ''create'' a soul.
Line 64:
** Well [[Charles Atlas Superpower|the ability to completely ignore natural limitations of human body]] is, logically, supernatural. [[Charles Atlas Superpower|We have a special trope for it]].
** You'll be hard-pressed to find a more over-the-top fighting series that doesn't ADMIT to using supernatral powers
* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)|Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' and its [[Spin -Off|SpinOffs]] [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica]] and [[Puella Magi Oriko Magica]] are all full of [[Wham Episode|Wham Chapters]] and [[Wham Line|Wham Lines]].
** [[Puella Magi Kazumi Magica (Manga)|For instance]] It's possible to have{{spoiler|[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahoushoujo_kazumi_magica_the_innocent_malice/v01/c007/25.html two Soul Gems in the same body]}}. ''[[Elfen Lied (Manga)|Elfen Lied]]'' parallels are noted.
* In ''[[Crest of the Stars]]'' Ekuryua's driving is so bad that she induces motion sickness in a shuttle full of Abh. This is supposed to be impossible because Abh are ''genetically engineered'' to fly in ships without inertia dampening.
