- The Room of Spirit and Time, or the Hyperbolic Time Chamber in the dub, dilates time to the point that a day outside the room equals a year inside it. Being able to pack several years of training into a short timespan was an incredible boon to the protagonists during the Android Saga. After just a day, Vegeta and Future Trunks went from weaker than Androids 17 and 18 (who were both stronger than Namek Saga Freeza and the Super Saiyans beforehand) to curb-stomping Semi-Perfect Cell (who himself was much stronger than 16, an Android even more powerful than 17 and 18). The main reason it wasn't used more often is because each being is limited to 2 years inside. Going over that limit will cause the entrance to vanish, trapping all residents within the Room for eternity. In Dragon Ball Super, Dende removes this limit for good in order to allow Goku and Vegeta to train up to 3 days within. Now that the Room is more convenient to use, it has to be destroyed over and over to remove it as an option for emergency training. Or even to resolve non-training issues such as waking Majin Buu from his 2 month nap during the Universe Survival Saga.
This was deleted over the misunderstanding that this trope was about people, not anything else. I don't see this trope that way, as the main page lists nothing that would indicate that restriction. To avoid an edit war, I'll wait one week before re-adding this to the page so others have the time to respond to this if they wish.

It's been over a week and no counterargument, so I'll do the pleasure of re-adding.
Can someone please add a name to this Overlord example, it's driving me nuts
- One character is hinted at being powerful enough to challenge Ainz (the author calls her the Overlord of the new world)... and naturally, hasn't fought him yet.
