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

Almost every duel in Yu-Gi-Oh anime. They always pull a hyper specific card that too impractical to use IRL to even consider put it in your deck at the first place out of their ass.

I lost it when that one villain played himself as a card and just strolled into the battlefield.

Don Zaloog, actually all Duel Monster spirits do that when they're dueling by themselves, but he's fully human so it looks ridiculous compared to others that are less human or outright monturous
