Some ideas:

Takes One to Kill One - The enemy can only be harmed or defeated by their own kind.

Became Their Own Antithesis - In the course of gaining power to defeat this enemy, the hero becomes more like the enemy. May lead to He Who Fights Monsters.

If someone already had this power (i.e. Goku was clearly always a saiyan even if he didn't advertise it to his Earth friends), that seems more like a generic The Reveal (revealing to the audience) or Internal Reveal (audience already knew; revealed to other characters).
