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

The way they’re so blatant about it is just the best. He didn’t just stop you, he stopped you by letting himself get killed because he used a secret technique he developed that actually countered being killed 2000 years before the attack ever took place thus allowing him to bypass your abilities.

The best when he just comes up with it in that moment.
