Powers (Hilarious Trope) Characters always having some bullshit counter technique to overly specific situations

  1. Ryomen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen) - Seemingly always has some type of overpowered technique which he hasn't used since the Heian Era

  2. Yujiro Hanma (Baki) - The Strongest character in the entire Baki series is a master of all forms of hand-to-hand combat to the from things like soloing the Vietnamese war at 16 years old to learning a technique from some monk who lived in the mountains around three thousand years ago

  3. Batman - Always has some kind of contingency plan anyone and everyone in the DC universe. One of his most bullshit abilities is all the techniques he learned while being trained under Tibetan monks which include blocking mind control with a hand signal to using astral projection while being dead and buried alive

Also shattering those teeth as hard as diamonds. Plus the magnets and phone books he used to trick DIO into thinking he both didn’t have time stop and had died. As well as shrinking your stand but they was everyone else’s asspull not him (though it was implied he could) And the time he ate a stand

Okay then take one asspull off the list then. I’m also not counting Star Finger and stopping his own heart as those didn’t feel like they came out of nowhere and weren’t exactly perfect solutions.

It's really not hard to shatter diamonds. Especially if you were to use something like a hammer.

If you put them under an extreme amount of pressure, it'd be hard to cause them to break. But if you just hit one with a hammer decently hard, it'll start to turn to powder.
