Line 53:
* 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.
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' does it somewhat subtly. Strike Raid, Ars Arcanum, Ragnarok, and Sonic Blade all come straight from the movepool of the boss you just beat. But they do have different names, and their executions are slightly adapted to fit the powers of the Keyblade.
* ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' has been an embodiment of this trope in the third and fourth games. Dante {{spoiler|and Vergil)}} can claim the powers of slain boss enemies after the fight. Whereas in ''DMC 3'' it seems to happen almost as an afterthought in Dante's case {{spoiler|(Vergil does it intentionally after killing Beowulf)}}, in ''DMC 4'' Nero is shown intentionally 'harvesting' these powers after every boss he defeats, since he could ostensibly leave the shiny orbs on their pedestals (or not, as [[But Thou Must!|you HAVE to have the things on the pedestals to advance]]).
* ''[[Dragon Age]] Origins'' has a portion of the Broken Circle quest that plays like a massive homage to Mega Man. The hero must defeat (or aid) 5 individuals to gain their powers, then use said powers to track down and defeat a sub-boss for each of the 5 areas. The end-boss of the sequence completes the Mega Man homage with a [[Boss Rush]] consisting of all the previous sub-bosses before you can fight his "true form".
* In ''[[Shadow Hearts]]: Covenant'', Yuri can gain stronger fusions. To do that he must defeat monsters in the real world to gain their souls and then sacrifice those to the appropriate elemental gravestone. Then he has to fight an incarnate of the fusion spirit before he can use it. In the case of his more powerful fusions, this amounts to beating a god and stealing its power.
