** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask'', the pirate captain Aveil can be scared off by bees. In the manga, she fatally wounds Mikau and fights Zora Link to a standstill.
** In the adaptation of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaPhantomHourglass'', despite still being turned into stone, Tetra manages to eject her spirit in the form of Princess Zelda and help fight off the Cubus Sister.
** In ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'', Ashei is reported to be a trained swordswoman but stays out of most of the action. In ''Manga/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess2016'', she's fast enough to catch Link himself off guard, and later pulls a DiagonalCut on two Darkhammers.

* In ''Anime/BatmanNinja'', SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker is a much more formidable fighter than how he's usually portrayed in the comics, being able to match Batman in a one-on-one swordfight during the climax.

That's how it went down in the manga


* Happens occasionally in the ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' anime compared to the manga e.g in the ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'' anime Joseph is blown into the sky alongside Kars and [[RocketlessReentry survives falling back to earth laying on a rock]].

* The ''Anime/SonicX'' anime did this with Shadow the Hedgehog. He's already incredibly powerful in [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog the video game series]], but not terribly so. In the anime? He's practically TheJuggernaut in that very few characters are even capable of slowing him down, even Sonic himself. He also spends most of the third season as a OneManArmy against the mooks of that season's BigBad.

*** Slakoth and Slaking in the games are among the ur-examples of AwesomeButImpractical due to their high stats being heavily impeded by the Truant ability making it laze about every other turn. In the anime? Norman's are totally unaffected by this handicap when they battle Ash.

** Sanji also gets this in the anime and movies despite being a well-established badsss in the manga, but the Soccer featurette in particular has ''[[https://youtu.be/RCmjjRcpoLM?t=154 Sanji kick a ball around the freaking globe]]'' to get the winning goal... a feat Sanji isn't capable of in the canon. Also, in the anime of Whole Cake Island, Sanji not only fights Charlotte Daifuku and Oven ''simultaneously'', but in the Wano anime even overwhelms X-Drake in combat, most of which was not present (or at least shown) in the manga. Sanji also happily uses [[KiManipulation Armament Haki]] more frequently and visibly in the Wano anime than the manga, using it to deflect bullets and easily block X-Drake’s claw attack. Later on in the anime, Sanji is even shown able to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff2vIeE50lE&ab_channel=CrunchyrollCollection effectively fight]] both Kaido's CoDragons King and Queen in a two-on-one fight, same as Marco (Whitebeard's NumberTwo). This contrasts to the manga version, where Sanji explictly couldn't fight both Yonko Commanders at the same time and needed Zoro to help him out.

** ''Anime/PokemonOrigins'': In the games, while Giovanni is the BigBad and a powerful opponent, his Pokemon for the Gym Battle (the strongest team he fields) are either inferior or on par with Lorelei's, the weakest of the Elite Four. Here he's ''far'' stronger, on par or stronger than even Blue's final team, using two Pokemon to Red's six in the Gym Battle and his Rhyhorn alone beating ''five'' of Red's before suffering a DoubleKO (and could have outright won had it not suffered recoil damage from two Take Downs) and Charizard barely winning against Rhydon.

*** Charizard in the games has a poor Attack stat, meaning it has to rely on its special fire attacks to do any damage. In ''Origins'', Red's Charizard has a preference for physical attacks like Mega Punch, Mega Kick and Slash, and it's consistently able to take down powerful opponents such as Giovanni's Rhydon and Blue's Blastoise, both of which hold a type advantage over it. In addition, it's able to Mega Evolve into the then-introduced Mega Charizard X, a concept that didn't exist until long after the franchise's start.
