* In ''[[Bleach]]'':
* In ''[[Bleach]]'':* A human can gain shinigami powers if a shinigami plunges their sword into the human's heart. It doesn't have a very high success rate but can work sometimes. {{spoiler|There are external factors involved in why Rukia and Ichigo's experience becomes a definite success instead of just a possible success.}}
** Captains and vice-captains have to wear power-limiters on their reiatsu when in the human world least their power start affecting human souls. This is lampshaded by observations on how Ichigo's extremely powerful, uncontrolled reiatsu (when in shinigami form only) has affected humans around him {{spoiler|(with help from the Hougyoku changing the odds to make something that can sometimes happen into something that definitely happens)}} to enable Orihime and Sado to unlock to latent powers they possessed from birth but couldn't access without help and to give several classmates the ability to see ghosts and shinigami when they previously couldn't.
** Aizen uses the Hougyoku to create artificially-boosted arrancar at levels mock-arrancar in the past haven't naturally been able to reach. {{spoiler|He also uses it to, in his personal belief, break the boundary between the shinigami and divine (although Urahara and Ichigo between them suggest he might have mistinterpreted what happened to him). The small print behind the Hougyoku does actually say that it's only capable of manifesting desires that already have the potential to be achieved without the Hougyoku's involvement.}}
Line 41 ⟶ 42:
* Near the end of ''[[Hellsing]]'', it turns out that the Doctor created Millenium's "vampires" by {{spoiler|infusing people with tiny bits of the corpse of Mina Harker, one of Alucard's aka Dracula's past victims, who survived and died as a human but still carried some of his power inside herself. So all of Millenium's vampires were Touched By Alucard.}} Small wonder that none of them really stood a chance against him.
* In [[Digimon Adventure]] and its sequel, nearly all the original Digidestined were children who had been present personally for a massive battle between two Digimon, and the majority of the others seem to have witnessed the battle that took place on the internet. This seems to suggest that the only way to get a VIP pass into the [[Cyberspace|Digital World]] is by being touched by Digimon.
* This was [[Fan Disservice|played for horror]] in ''[[Berserk]]'', when {{spoiler|Femto viciously raped Casca, who was pregnant with sheher and her lover Guts's child at the time. The baby was at first developing as a normal human in the womb, but when the fetus came in contact with Femto's demonic essence, it became [[The Grotesque|deformed]] and took on [[Fetus Terrible|a nature of evil]], and was eventually miscarried due to the trauma Casca endured. However, due to it being a supernatural being born between worlds, the Child survived and continued to linger around its parents, [[Love Redeems|actually helping]] and [[Parents in Distress|protecting them]].}}
** In retrospect, all Apostle Spawns are created this way, since an Apostle can taint a normal human's life with their demonic powers.
* ''[[Rosario Plus+ Vampire]]'' When Tsukune needs to fight, a quick dose of vampire blood (courtesy of Moka) gives him some much needed ass-kicking powers. Unfortunately, this has some unfortunate side effects...
* In Trinity Blood, the Inquisition uses a special chemical to give them a brief moment of Vampire level speed and strength. The anime never states it, but the original books mention that the chemical is injected inside their suits, so the anime most likely never got around to showing this since it wasn't greatly important.
