Has some overlap with KillItWithFire.

* In ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood'', Jonathan attempts to kill a regenerating vampire by [[KillItWithFire setting it on fire]]. {{Subverted|Trope}} when the vampire's regeneration begins to outpace the damage. DoubleSubverted when Jonathan sets the whole house on fire and traps the vampire inside, resulting in hotter flames that are strong enough to kill it. [[ZigzaggingTrope Triple Subverted]] when the vampire later shows up in the rubble, weak and heavily scarred but alive.
* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', a homunculus's regenerative abilities draw on a large but finite reserve of energy, which can be depleted by continuous damage. [[spoiler:Mustang successfully kills one by simply [[KillItWithFire setting them on fire and keeping them on fire]].]]
* In ''WebComic/OnePunchMan'', members of [[GalacticConqueror Lord Boros]]'s species possess a marble-like "core" in their bodies, and can regenerate FromASingleCell as long as it is unharmed. This makes Boros the first being in the universe who can actually survive one of Saitama's OneHitKill punches, though the stress of a protracted battle (during which Boros is struck by Saitama multiple times, and uses multiple {{Limit Break}}s and CastFromLifespan techniques [[ComicallyInvincibleHero in a futile attempt to power up enough to hurt Saitama back]]) eventually causes his core to explode.
