** Downplayed with Misty during her time traveling with Ash. She is less arrogant than he or Gary is. However, she still fancies herself an expert Water Pokemon trainer and looks down on Ash for shortcomings she herself is often guilty of, and unlike Ash, she does not make a major effort to improve herself. As a result, she [[TheWorfEffect suffers embarrassing losses]], even against opponents she [[ElementalRockPaperScissors has the type advantage against]]. After leaving Ash, Misty [[TookALevelInBadass becomes far more competent]].
** [[BrattyHalfPint Max]] has a great deal of knowledge from studying Pokemon, which gives him the impression that he could have won matches that Ash lost if he were in Ash's position, [[KnowNothingKnowItAll despite never participating in a Pokemon battle himself]]. When Max finally takes part in a battle, he shows his lack of experience means he does not know how to apply his knowledge.

* ''Manga/SpyXFamily'' has Agent Daybreak, an Ostanian spy who thinks himself the rival of Twilight, one of the protagonists and one of Westalis' best spies. In reality, Daybreak is completely incompetent and fails at his task, resulting in his client firing him. To make matters worse, it turns out that his client was a grade schooler with a grudge against the Desmond family, and apparently couldn't afford anyone more competent.

* ''Literature/ReignOfTheSevenSpellblades'': Episode 8 of the anime adaptation expands on an originally unnamed female first-year student to create Evelynn Odets, who is convinced she's a much better mage than she really is: she ''wants'' to be [[RedBaron known as]] "Galewind Evelynn" or "Cold-Blooded Evelynn", but a background student mentions her having terrible aim and lousy visualization, excelling only at her speed at speaking incantations which instead earned her the nickname "Speed-Talker". She makes the mistake of challenging TheLancer Nanao Hibiya to a WizardDuel on the mistaken theory that Nanao's present lack of skill with magic makes her an easy target, and is defeated in seconds.

** Higuma thinks he can threaten Shanks because he has a bounty of 8 million Beri. Not only is 8 million next to nothing, even in the East Blue (Arlong, the most wanted pirate in said sea, has a bounty of 20 million), but Shanks' bounty eventually reaches 4 '''billion'''[[note]]He wasn't a Yonko at that time; he has been in the position for only six years[[/note]]. Higuma learns the hard way that, while Shanks doesn't pick fights over Higuma's petty provocations, he won't stand for Higuma hurting Shanks' friend Luffy. This results in Shanks' men taking down Higuma's underlings with barely any effort, forcing Higuma to flee with Luffy as a hostage and getting eaten by a Sea King. A Sea King who later lost to Luffy easily.

** FillerVillain Oko Yushima talks about how people who try to help him are merely jealous of his power and that "being alone is the privilege of a superior soul". While the Mod Soul version of Oko Yushima was a powerful fighter with a ridiculously broken power set, the real one who originally said the above quote was absolutely pathetic, having no fighting ability and was barely capable of graduating from the Shinigami Academy.

If anything, Yushima was a man with an InferioritySuperiorityComplex going to absurd lengths to preserve his ego and rationalize what he perceived as [[DontYouDarePityMe pity]] from his peers.
