* ''Anime/ThatTimeIGotReincarantedAsASlime'' has the titular character, Rimuru Tempest, who is ridiculously strong for a slime, able to defeat strong opponents normal monsters couldn't beat. He becomes so strong to the point that all the inhabitants of Jura Forest, a huge area inhabited by monsters, acknowledge him as their ruler. Although this series is full of very powerful people able to manipulate the laws of nature, Rimuru still stands out among them because of his fast growth. He later becomes even stronger when he evolves into [[spoiler:true demon lord]], and much, much later, a [[spoiler:true dragon]].

* ''Manga/ABridesStory'':
** Barring her age, Amir is pretty much the perfect bride. Good at sewing, cooking, and hunting, kind, patient, etc. To top it off, she’s a beauty. There’s a funny moment when Pariya thinks of Amir and gets angry because she’s struggling to learn to embroider while Amir is good at everything. Later on, when Pariya tries to think of an impossibly perfect human being, guess which face springs into her mind?
** HotBlooded tendencies aside, her elder brother, Azel, is basically the perfect man by the region’s standards. He excels at hunting, archery, swordsmanship, leadership, falconry, equestrianism, and most traditionally male tasks. He’s also smart, handsome, and very loyal to his family. In short, he’s very clearly Amir’s brother.
** Anis and Sherine also think that Anis' husband is this, [[spoiler:particularly after he marries a widowed Sherine as well]]. He's rich, handsome, healthy, intelligent, cultured, and breathtakingly generous and compassionate -- Anis constantly thinks how lucky she is to have married him and Sherine elaborates on what an admirable man he is as well.
** Kamola is considered the finest and most eligible girl in the village (sort of like the regional equivalent of a YamatoNadeshiko) and her family is inundated with marriage proposals for her despite her being too young to marry quite yet. When Pariya is looking for an ideal girl to use as a role model (and, as mentioned above, writes off Amir as impossible for her to match) she settles on Kamola, and starts to stalk her around observing her, accidentally giving Kamola the idea that Pariya hates her. Ironically, when Pariya owns up to being jealous of Kamola's perfection, Kamola admits that she actually envies Pariya's ability to boldly speak her mind without reservation, and the two become friends.

** Naruto himself grows into one. By the time the Fourth Shinobi World War starts up, he is the only living person capable of fighting the undead, constantly regenerating, and nigh-unbeatable Madara Uchiha on equal terms. Not only that, a number of people have claimed him to have surpassed the Fourth Hokage several times over and Tobirama directly compares Naruto to Hashirama upon witnessing his mastery of Sage Mode, and later admits that Naruto may eventually become a greater Hokage than his brother was. [[spoiler:After obtaining Six Paths Sage Mode, Kakashi states he surpassed all Hokage and is matching and overwhelming Kaguya Otsutsuki blow for blow (though it’s acknowledged that Kaguya was still far more powerful than him and was holding back during the fight). In the finale, he becomes the Seventh Hokage, making him both the strongest Hokage in the Leaf's history, and the [[WorldsStrongestMan single strongest person in the world]] with only Sasuke being acknowledged as rivaling him in power]].

* Yusei Fudo of ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'' takes this to the extreme. Out of all five ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' protagonists, you think he'd be least intelligent of all them due to having no type of formal education whatsoever unlike the others but despite having no formal education he's more than capable of building functional D-Wheels and D-Boards from nothing (The latter of which he'd never seen before), create functioning D-Wheel programs that could enhance the capabilities of multiple D-Wheels, a mechanic in his free time, and create a computer program that would ensure a future global genocide would never happen showing he's far from being BookDumb like Yugi, Judai, and [[Anime/YuGiOhZexal Yuma]] ([[Anime/YuGiOhArcV Yuya]] comes off as more as having average level intelligence). In dueling he's the only one of the protagonist who's technically [[InvincibleHero never lost a duel]]. Like Yugi and Yami Yugi, Yusei also obtained the title KingOfGames defeating his rival/then champion '''[[LargeHam JACK ATLAS]]''' early in the series. Later for an upcoming Duel Team Tournament, people from all over the world were coming to Japan specifically to duel him or ask him to be apart of their team and went as far as kidnapping and trying to brainwash him to do so. In the final arc the final BigBad [[BadFuture Z-ONE]] said in his timeline (200 years after Yusei's time) Yusei was a legendary hero and renown duelist with many duelist who proceeded his generation being inspired by him and trying to emulate him.
