Working Title: Weakened hero fight: From YKTTW
Peteman: Dinobot takes a level in badass? More like completes the progression.
- G-Force: Just a question. What's the difference between this trope and Game-Breaking Injury which was just recently launched? It seems like examples from both seem to overlap.
- In the Iron Man film, Iron Man fights the larger, more powerful power armor Iron Monger while operating on an obsolete power supply with less than 10% power.
- I removed this as a non-example... His suit was operating at full capacity on the replacement power supply, it was just draining it fast... So this was a time limit scenario, not an example of this trope. —Nentuaby
I remember a fight in Bleach where Ichigo once again is near-death and the villain is saying that he can't get up. It's not a matter of Ichigo's willpower, which is large, it's just a structual impossibillity. Ichigo had been -almost- bisected. I do not know the result of this fight, or I would have added it into the page.
