** Queen Sangria purposely sets all her minions one rung lower on the SortingAlgorithmOfEvil / SortingAlgorithmOfVillainThreat to lull Miki into a false sense of security and complacency, so when they both fight she'll have an edge.

** Miki comes to believe this trope is in play once she wins the first few fights, but once the enemies start ramping up in difficulty, she has to try harder and harder to beat them. Because she's still stubbornly convinced that she doesn't need to train despite evidence to the contrary, she eventually ends up trashed in a brutal fight, and everyone subsequently losing faith in her.

** [[SoLastSeason A new type of power source or technique set introduced]] is more powerful than everything in the team's arsenal so they start training for that. Miki suddenly finds that she's {{Not So Above It All}} when she's suddenly struggling to keep up.
** How well the approach works depends on the level of scope. Someone who has power can't be bested in individual combat - however they are incredibly rare. However BadassNormals with plenty of training can be produced far more reliably and even a powerhouse like Miki can only be in one place at once.

* '''Played For Drama''': Miki's peers come to [[TheResenter deeply resent]] how she's coasting along on her natural gifts, while the rest of them [[CantCatchUp simply can't match her]]. Several [[RivalTurnedEvil defect to Queen Sangria's side]], lured by blessings of demonic power and strength, and become her [[EliteMooks loyal followers]]. Upon learning of this, Miki has a HeroicBSOD.

** The only reason Miki is able to do this is because she is a HalfHumanHybrid with an EldritchAbomination empowered by having a human soul. She is not only an abomination to the rest of humanity but even to her other species. Despite their vile yet [[BlueAndOrangeMorality alien]] mindset they can't bring themselves to create another like her to counter her either making her fundamentally alone.
