* Somewhat downplayed in ''Manga/VinlandSaga'', which can zig zag back and forth between more realistic depictions of medieval warfare and the over the top feats of Scandinavian sagas. The result is that most of the characters are not ''too'' far beyond normal in terms of strength and human abilities, so we have things happening like armor working or blades getting stuck in bodies and so on. But there are a handful of characters who just absolutely break the scale and might as well be low level superheroes dropped into the medieval world. The most egregious such example is the infamous Thorkell the Tall. Yes, he's acknowledged as the WorldsStrongestMan. Yes, he's an absolute monster at something like seven and a half feet tall (228 cm) and 400 pounds (181 kg) of pure muscle. No, that would not allow him to cut multiple opponents in half with a single swing of his ax, or to cut right through guys wearing armor.

* Mizu from ''WesternAnimation/BlueEyeSamurai'' cuts through people (both literally and metaphorically) with ridiculous ease. The fact that her sword is made of a special ThunderboltIron could handwave some of it, as could the fact that she is shown to have trained fanatically and has extensive experience in duels, which has taught her valuable lessons in how to align the sword just right to make the most efficient cut. However she also has a habit of doing things like knocking or ripping out teeth (roots and all), with virtually no effort, and otherwise turning opponents into gory chunks of meat far easier than should be possible in real life. Also ArmorIsUseless, whether against her special blade or any other one she happens to be holding.

(And we do get a nod to realism when she first tries using a sword and the blade harmlessly bounces off the bit of bamboo that she tried to cut and right out of her hands because she didn't line up the attempted cut correctly.) However she also has a habit of tends to cut off limbs with her sword simply by applying any pressure whatsoever to the limb in question, not to mention doing things like knocking or ripping out teeth (roots and all), with virtually no effort, and otherwise turning opponents into gory chunks of meat far easier than should would be possible in real life. Also ArmorIsUseless, whether against her special blade or any other one she happens to be holding.holding, as seen when she grabs a random soldier's ''naginata'' and throws it straight through the armor of another soldier who's a fair distance away.
