Line 47:
* Lordgenome of ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' {{spoiler|wasn't fighting anywhere close to his real potential during his fight with Simon, and he ''still'' would have won if he had not underestimated Simon's determination. A thousand years of boredom had dulled his edge considerably, as he proved during the final episode.}}
** Even more true considering {{spoiler|that according with his backstory revealed in the [[All There in the Manual|Parallel Works 8]], Lord Genome turns against his own comrades in the name of the Anti-Spiral effectively taking down a LEGION OF SPIRAL WARRIORS all by himself, it's more or less stated that Genome, at the time, have the power to defeat the anti-spirals and end the war if he knew what to do but he was convinced and scarred by the truth of the Spiral Nemesis.}}
* Similar to the ''[[Super Robot Wars]]'' example further down the page, ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha|Mahou Senki Lyrical Nanoha Force]]'' gives this treatment to {{spoiler|Signum}} by way of depriving her of the equipment needed to fight against the Huckebein. {{spoiler|Signum}} goes into her battle with Cypha lacking the countermeasures necessary to neutralize her opponent's [[Mage Killer]] abilities, and as a result only manages to hold her own until Cypha [[I Am Not Left-Handed|gets serious]]. Double points here because before this, Signum had ''[[Defeating the Undefeatable|never]]'' been defeated onscreen by any of the other characters.
** Nanoha's overexerting herself resulted in her getting injured and almost crippled while on a mission, as Shamal points out in the above quote.
** The Wolkenritter are less at an advantage over Nanoha and Fate's group because they have sworn [[Thou Shalt Not Kill|not to kill anyone]] [[Hero Antagonist|in their quest to save Hayate]]. Despite managing to fight off Signum until she retreats or outside forces interfere, Fate loses most of her sparring matches against Signum in the period after A's.
Line 191:
* ''[[Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness|Kung Fu Panda Legends of Awesomeness]]'' sees Temutai try to invoke this the second time he faces off with Po, claiming that the last time they fought, he had a head cold. [[You Can Always Tell a Liar|It's very obviously an excuse he made up on the spot]].
* Happens in the second [[Season Finale]] ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' when [[Big Bad|Queen Chrysalis]] manages to defeat [[Physical God|Princess Celestia in a straight up fight]]. Chrysalis had gotten a ''major'' power up [[Emotion Eater|feeding off of]] [[The Power of Love|Shining Armor's love for Princess Cadence]]. (As a note, that exact same power of love proved sufficient to curbstomp ''the entire Changeling army'' about ten minutes later, once Chrysalis lost her tap into it.) Not only does she visibly struggle against Celestia's power, even Chrysalis is outright ''shocked'' she won.
** It's also noteworthy that Chrysalis' plan was ''not'' to fight Celestia head-to-head ''at all'' -- the—the only reason she was doing so is because she'd gotten exposed as an impostor halfway through the wedding and was backed into a corner by an angry Princess who had been officiating at the ceremony.
** Season 4's finale provides even more context on this and another explanation. Judging by the size of the craters left behind in the struggle between Alicorn Twilight and Tirek,<ref>As in, 'you could have fit the entire town of Ponyville into one of those holes and had room enough left over for Canterlot Castle.'</ref>, if Celestia had unleashed her full offense during this episode she'd have killed everypony else in the room. She not only had to face an opponent temporarily juiced-up on almost-alicorn levels of power, she had to do it with one hoof behind her back ''and'' struggling to keep the collateral splash of the battle from harming the completely unprotected civilians standing less than twenty feet away. In light of all that, its amazing Celestia managed even the showing she did.
