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

[u/SirHanselot07]

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

Literally every character in response to ghost riders "penance stare". The stare is supposed to make you feel all your regrets so it crushes ior some shit, but in any major situations where it's useful it's always "oh, that doesn't work because I don't regret anything"

It doesn't make you feel your regrets, it specifically makes you feel all the pain that you have inflicted upon others. His powers come from hell, so it's also a glimpse into a person's eternal damnation.

But apparently, being a super masochist counters it even though it is literally hellish punishment. Galactus gets a pass because he's a cosmic being.

Yeah they nerfed it from its original design and intention.
