Sometimes characters get [[Role
* The character has an ability that lets him copy the powers of anyone he defeats. He doesn't need to kill his opponent (though that's what usually happens); just defeating his enemy will grant him any power his opponent had. He doesn't [[Power Parasite|steal the power]] outright; he merely copies it.
* The character learns an ability or special move (normally one exact to one his opponent had) after the match, or he may get an object that lets him use or learn the technique.

** In ''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]'', several of the Bagra generals can absorb members of their armies to gain their powers. The first general to do so is MadLeomon.
* The victorious mechs in ''[[Gigantic Formula]]'' gain abilities, technology and personnel from the countries they defeat.
* When a Campione in ''[[Campione!]]'' kills a god, they gain a portion of the god's authority. Notably, this requires specific conditions: it won't work if, for example, the Campione kills a god that was first weakened by someone else.
* The dolls in ''[[Rozen Maiden]]''. Because in the end, [[There Can Be Only One]].

Line 45 ⟶ 46:
** In ''Metroid Prime 3'', fighting the other Hunters that got corrupted nets her a new ability closely related to them.
* Soma Cruz from ''[[Castlevania Aria of Sorrow]]'' and ''[[Dawn of Sorrow]]'' can equip the abilities of monsters by defeating them and absorbing their souls. It is revealed in the former that {{spoiler|he gained this ability by being the reincarnation of series [[Big Bad]] Dracula}}. Now, {{spoiler|Dracula himself}} never displayed this ability until it was retconned in by {{spoiler|Dracula absorbing Death}} in ''[[Portrait of Ruin]]'', but it's been described as a variation of {{spoiler|Dracula's greatest power -- to command all the monsters in his castle}}.
* In ''[[Pokémon]]'' you can get the bosses'
* Emerl from ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic Battle]]'' gets one random skill card from each character in the battle after every battle in which it participates in Story Mode. The cards allow Emerl to use fighting moves from the other characters.
* Many spells in ''[[Puzzle Quest]]: Challenge of the Warlords'' can be learnt by the player by capturing the monster that uses them (by solving a puzzle) and then learnt in the citadel (by means of a special game mode). A few spells can also be accessed by capturing a mount. However, in all cases, the player has higher mana costs than the monster that normally uses them (or the class that learns them normally).
* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]]'', Snake gains an ability from the defeated members of the BB Corps.
** In ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'', the yet-to-be Big Boss could acquire the bosses camouflage suits (except The End's) by dropping their stamina to zero instead of their health, along with The End's special weapon, the tranquilizer sniper gun Mosin Nagant.
*** Just to be clear: you can get the end's camo, but you have to [[Guide Dang It|Hold up the End by pointing a gun at his head so he refuses you 3 times, then he gives it up.]] Could be seen as defeating the end in terms of stealth.
* The [[Sega Genesis]] [[Shmup]] ''[[Gaiares]]'' let the player "capture" an enemy's weapon and use it, though the captured weapon didn't always look the same as when the enemy used it.
