** The third game does this to a rather infuriating degree. [[spoiler: It *starts* with an alternate version of Bayonetta being killed by Singularity. Throughout her trip through the Multiverse, Cereza encounters multiple alternate versions of herself and watches all of them die one after the other, either directly by Singularity's hand or indirectly as collateral damage from his actions.]]

*** SOLDIER is heralded in the backstory as a group of unrelenting hardcases who can mow down countless enemies with ease. In-game, however, at the beginning you knock down 3rd Classes (recruits) like wheat, in the mid-game you're against 2nd Class and by the end you're easily dispatching SOLDIER 1st Class, the elite of the elite of which Cloud, Zack and Sephiroth are supposed to be from. By the time you fight the 2nd class, the fate of the world is in your hands and personally gunning for the strongest SOLDIER that ever lived.

By the time you fight the 2nd class, the fate of the world is in your hands and personally gunning for the strongest SOLDIER that ever lived. This, however, might be justified: Having lost their most decorated warriors and being worn down by both the Wutai War AND the Genesis War in ''Crisis Core'', it's clear that Shinra just promoted warriors in SOLDIER who were loyal to them rather than counting on them to be anywhere on the level of the original roster of SOLDIER 1st Class, which only consisted of ''four out of the entire group'' originally, so it's more like SOLDIER originally ''was'' worthy of all that hype, but by the time the party gets to fight them, they've been downgraded a ''lot'' due to the events of prequel games.

* ''VideoGame/LikeADragon'':
** Daigo Dojima, the Sixth Chairman of Tojo Clan since ''VideoGame/Yakuza2'', who is acknowledged by Kiryu Kazuma himself to be formidable, repeatedly becomes a BadassInDistress because he is caught off-guard and blindsided by a gun in a way that seems to be rather underwhelming his abilities. Not only that, whenever he is a boss fight, he is quite tough, but storywise he is regularly used to demonstrate just how badass the opposing hero is. While Daigo can be forgiven for losing to the WorldsStrongestMan Kiryu, who is of course heads and shoulders above almost everyone else, he even straight out admits he is no match for him and Kiryu clearly didn't seem to have as much trouble as he did with Majima and Saejima. The other enemy who beat him is Ryuji Goda, who proves to be a tough opponent for Kiryu. Even Tatsuo Shinada, a ''civilian'', is also able to push him back and even though Daigo was being WillfullyWeak at the time, it still demonstrates Shinada is still an ActionSurvivor worthy of being a playable character in ''VideoGame/Yakuza5''.
** To showcase exactly why Saejima is a legendary Yakuza, he is able to fight Kiryu to a stalemate and defeat Majima twice. Notably, he is the ''only'' person who is able to completely stalemate Kiryu, while other characters are shown on the losing end even if they didn't entirely lose, displaying that he truly has comparable physical strength and might to him. In fact, the one confirmed time Kiryu beats him is in the Victory Road Tournament Finals.
** ''VideoGame/YakuzaLikeADragon'' really demonstrates just how overwhelmingly strong Kiryu, Majima, and Saejima are compared to the other heroes. All three are fought as the only HeadsIWinTailsYouLose bosses and that's with them being WillfullyWeak! While Majima and Saejima didn't quite beat Ichiban and his friends, they are clearly holding back and yet Ichiban and the others are still clearly not even coming close to beating them. At least Majima is somewhat bloodied, while Saejima isn't even injured at all. Against Kiryu, all that they were able to do is slightly push him back and afterwards Kiryu has had enough and demonstrates just how far stronger he is than Ichiban by casually unleashing a MegatonPunch that shatters Ichiban's imagination.
** In ''VideoGame/{{Judgment}}'', Kuroiwa demonstrates just how he is formidable enough to be a match for Yagami by utterly kicking the ass of Kaito and Higashi with just a blackjack.

* ''VideoGame/CrescentPrism'': Thanks to the power of five Prism stones, Count Chroma is able to curbstomp the entire party and Astrid, with the latter being the strongest person in Merryday Village. [[spoiler:Even when Professor Tide shows up with a device to weaken Count Chroma, the latter still isn't down for the count. The party only survives because Astrid seemingly sacrifices herself using Violet's power, and even that didn't kill Count Chroma]].
