- "Super Saiyans are supposed to be absolutely invincible. How did I get beat? That makes no sense! My power should stand second to none. I am the Saiyan prince, the grounding pinnacle of my race. Becoming Super Saiyan should have cemented my place as the greatest warrior in the universe. Is technology superior to my strength? Am I limited by mere biology? No, I am Vegeta, I have no limits! Whoever my opponent their might is nothing compared to mine."
- ― Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z Kai)
- "Surpass your limits. Right here. Right now."
- ― Yami Sukehiro to Asta (Black Clover)
- "Do not mock me, Raziel. You, of all of us, should respect the power bestowed by a limitation overcome."
- ― Rahab (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver)
- "That fool believed taking my bell would defeat me, but she only weakened me temporarily."
- ― Discord/Grogar (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)
- "Our only limits are the ones we place on ourselves."

Also Called[]

Capabilities[]
The user can overcome their limitations/weaknesses, whether personal, from their species or inherent to their other powers, becoming either more resistant or completely immune to said weaknesses. This can be accomplished through ascendancy into a more divine-like state or natural evolution like performing repeated non-lethal exposure to said weakness; for example, a vampire may become immune to sunlight or a werewolf resistant to silver, or even a human could surpass and transcend their own weaknesses and limitations to achieve superhuman or even divine level status.
