Line 43:
** And Chapter 485 seems to be setting this up for the fight between {{spoiler|Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto has likely just been inflicted with a life-threatening poison just before he starts fighting Sasuke.}} In this case it's less Worf Had the Flu and more like leveling the playing field, as {{spoiler|Sasuke is completely exhausted.}} It still counts since {{spoiler|Naruto would likely [[Curb Stomp Battle|completely crush]] Sasuke in both a fair fight and with only Sasuke being exhausted with no handicap for Naruto, but in this situation, the outcome is thrown up in the air. Subverted because, regardless of who is handicapped and how, it's clear that the villains are going to escape to fight another day.}}
** And going back allllll the way, Naruto's crappy abilities with chakra control are implied to be due to the Kyuubi's chakra inside him. Once he started getting his jutsu under control, he was learning jounin level skills (albeit in a wasteful manner—thank the Sage of Six Paths that he's got enough chakra to burn) and a technique that requires a practically impossible level of chakra control.
* ''[[Dragonball Z]]'':
** Goku's heart virus thing while fighting Android 19 in This is actually taken to the extent of an [[Alternate Universe]], where without the aid of [[Future Badass|Trunks]], Goku died from the virus, [[Bad Future|and well...]] While Android 19 was indeed programed with the intent to counter Goku's fighting style, it was made clear he would ''never'' have stood a chance had Goku been at full health. Made clearer when, after defeating Goku, he gets cocky and [[Bullying a Dragon| tries to take on Vegeta]]. Seeing as Vegeta does ''not'' have any illness, uses a completely different fighting style, and has undergone ''three years'' of [[Training From Hell]] to prepare for this very day, it's [[Curb Stomp Battle| easy to predict how it goes for 19]].
** Also happens much earlier when the series when Goku is defeated by Yamcha because he is extremely hungry.
** Also happens when Goku loses to King Piccolo's minion Tambourine, but only because Goku was exhausted from fighting in the Tenckaichi Budokai. Tambourine is confident he can win again in the rematch, but things don't go so well for him.
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
* ''[[Soul Eater]]'': Black Star's failure to use Soul Menace against Kid is actually a product of his inability to deal with the [[Worf Effect|worfing]] that he's noticed he was being subject to. And THOSE losses were caused by him losing confidence in himself for not being able to master [[Deadly Upgrade|Shadow Star]].
* In ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'', when Athrun brought up how Shinn had defeated Kira, Kira admitted to being "distracted" because he was "unsure" if he should be fighting ZAFT or not.
* Inverted in ''[[Hunter X Hunter]]'' where Gon (the main character) barely beat Shizuku

Line 114 ⟶ 115:
* In ''[[Inheritance Cycle|Brisingr]]'', Paolini has made certain that Eragon has not had time to recuperate to his full strength since achieving his super-human power.
** A more straight example would be at the end of ''Eldest'', when {{spoiler|Murtagh defeats Eragon while the latter is exhausted from battle.}} However, this was subverted when Eragon {{spoiler|fought Murtagh for the second time. He was fully rested, at full power, and had thirteen elves assisting him, but still only managed to drive Murtagh off.}}
