When someone shows restraint or obfuscation in their abilities, but now decides to demonstrate their real skill.
The situation varies from example to example. The trope-naming example from The Princess Bride featured two Master Swordsman who begin the duel with their off hand in an effort to make the other overconfident, only to switch back to their dominant hand to gain an edge. Similar examples would be intentionally displaying a handicap, then deciding to stop the charade. It can also go so far as a character revealing that they have always had a superpower which they now decide to exploit, or have trained in a Dangerous Forbidden Technique which they now have no option but to utilize. They also may reveal they've been partaking in some Imposed Handicap Training and are ready to throw off weighted clothing.
A common subversion would be for the other character to also be not left-handed and then have reached a stalemate. Or if the writer is being subtle about doubling up on this trope, that the character is later revealed as ambidextrous a.k.a "both-handed". It could also be that the character is so used to using this trope that it catches them off guard that it's still not enough.
Villains can invoke this trope, as well. For more information on that, see our Analysis page.
Has a couple of sub-tropes:
Heroic Examples:
11th-Hour Superpower
Critical Status Buff
Deadly Upgrade
My Kung-Fu Is Stronger Than Yours
Neutral Examples:
Hustling the Mark
Superweapon Surprise
Villainous Examples:
One-Winged Angel
Turns Red
May be preceded by a "No More Holding Back" Speech. Use of this trope, especially in sequence, can result in transfer of the Advantage Ball. See also: The Gloves Come Off, Restraining Bolt, Power Limiter, Willfully Weak, Just Toying with Them, Cherry Tapping, and Fake Weakness. Also compare Let's Get Dangerous!. Note that Forgot About His Powers is not this trope, as it has nothing to do with deliberately holding back for calculated reasons.
May contain unmarked spoilers.

The Elements of Friendship: In Book II, when Discord first escapes his prison, Celestia confronts him directly, ditching the regalia that worked to keep her magic in check, as she naturally gives off the same amount of solar radiation as a star; for this fight, she actively channels it.

Played with in an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man. Steve Austin has to go undercover on an American Indian reservation, and there's a section of the reservation he needs to get to, but the problem is that only members of the tribe are allowed to go there. If he can pass several physical tests, he can become an honorary member of the tribe. His bionically-augmented body lets him pass the tests easily, but the last test is to arm-wrestle the strongest men in the tribe. While his bionic right arm lets him beat all the challengers, the medicine man for the tribe won't accept his victory unless Steve beats him as well. The medicine man then insists his right hand is "for medicine only" and says he will only arm-wrestle Steve left-handed. It quickly becomes apparent that the medicine man is one hell of a lot stronger than he looks. Steve narrowly wins, but it's very close and it's clear that it took all the strength Steve had in order to win, and his face shows it.

Iorek Byrnison pulls one of these in his fight against Iofur Raknison during The Golden Compass by pretending his left arm is too badly hurt to be used in the fight. Bonus points considering that in Real Life most polar bears have a stronger left forepaw.

In Genshin Impact, Tartaglia is a Blood Knight that opts to use a bow because that is the weapon he has the least skill with. Indeed, his normal attack animations show that his form is terrible and his Elemental Skill involves switching to dual-wielding a pair of hydro blades for a short time. As a boss, he gets serious after the initial stage and abandons his bow in favor of blades that combine into a spear.

In Pale Avery usually fights as part of a group, wearing a deer mask and striking from the sidelines using her Tricked-Out Shoes and the black rope. When she dons the wolf mask after declaring "Wolf Hour," she's far more direct and antagonistic, often fighting alone or as the primary attacker while others support her.

In Worm the Endbringers are always holding back when fighting. Every time they're sufficiently injured or hindered they'll bring out a new ability to mix things up. We finally see them go all-out against Scion, who is the one and only being on Earth that far outclasses them all in power and ability.

On Mythic Quest, having lost two rounds of Street Fighter V to Brad, David ups the bet. As soon as Brad agrees, David pulls out a fancy game pad, bragging he's been a lifelong Street Fighter fan. Subverted for laughs as Brad just ends up beating David even worse than before.

In Astonishing X-Men, the team are confronted by a Sentinel. They line up and talk tactics but Cyclops is in no mood for such things — he removes his glasses, and utterly eradicates the Sentinel from existence — as well as about a mile of forest around. Later in the same run, he had his powers psychically de-activated by Emma Frost and had been captured and tortured by an alien warlord. When he finally tells the warlord that the X-Men's secret weapon "Leviathan", was completely fictional (thus throwing out any reason to keep him alive), he starts laughing. The warlord attacks him, demanding to know what else he's been lying about. Then with the villain right up in his face,◊ Cyclops reactivates his eyebeams and blasts the villain, leaving a massive hole in the building.◊

Nero does a form of this in his fight with Dante in Devil May Cry 4: he's been keeping his Devil Bringer hidden under the pretense that his arm is broken and he must carry it in a sling. He fights Dante for the majority of their first contact with his right arm hidden in the sling, and just when Dante has the upper hand and is about to run Nero through, he suddenly throws the sling off and blocks Dante's sword with his cursed arm, stopping Dante in his tracks.
Dante himself pulls this in the same game. The fight mentioned above works as the game's tutorial because Dante's not putting a whole lot of effort into it.note He spends the first half of the scuffle causally evading or deflecting Nero's (read: the player's) attacks, and doesn't even bother with his usual Trash Talk. The next time he and Nero clash, the kid gloves are gone and it's considered by many to be the most difficult fight in the game.
Vergil also does this in 3. In the first fight against him, he stays in human form all the while. By the second fight, he pulls out the Devil Trigger after you damage him enough. In the third and final fight, he gets to use an even more powerful Super Mode on top of the previous one with deadly Secret A.I. Moves.
It should be noted about the Devil Trigger, that before 3 it is played up like Dante has never been able to access it, so after Vergil kicks his ass in a cutscene after the boss fight that it awakens Dante's own abilities. Sort of giving Dante his own "I Am Not Left-Handed". In fact, in all the games save for 2 and 4 Devil Trigger isn't attained until a certain point so it's always been a hidden Super Mode technically.
In the first game, the default sword Force Edge is it's own "I Am Not Left-Handed", in the fact it doesn't have a Devil Trigger form for Dante, and not until the right moment releases its true power to become the sword Sparda, which lets Dante Devil Trigger into his father's Demon Form.

The Mighty Thor: One issue had Hercules telling a pompous tale about a fight with Thor. He was just getting to the point in his story of beating the daylights out of the thunder god when he learned that one of the young listeners was a serious Thor fan. So Hercules abruptly changed the ending to reveal that Thor had been holding back all along, and punched Hercules across the sky. "I landed in a place the gods forgot: New Jersey!"

Joshua of The World Ends with You at first appears to be a Pretty Boy who fights with a psychic cell phone. He can't jump, and his ground combos only deal damage after the last button is pressed (Shiki and Beat can deal damage with every press). However, when Joshua and Neku are confronted by a Taboo Noise, and all hope seems lost, Joshua suddenly reveals he can levitate and proceeds to vaporize the Noise with a Jesus Beam. Afterwards, the reaper, Koki Kariya, confronts Joshua and notes that such power can only come from someone who is still alive while playing the game, and he tells Joshua that he will let it pass as long as Joshua doesn't pull the same stunt again, because the reapers themselves were having trouble with the Taboo Noise. He later goes all the way up to a Physical God when he reveals that he is Shibuya's Composer, The Man Behind the Man.

X-Men: Cyclops's glasses/goggles don't just let him control his powers, they also limit them. If he's willing to take his visor off for even a few seconds, you're in trouble.
In Astonishing X-Men, the team are confronted by a Sentinel. They line up and talk tactics but Cyclops is in no mood for such things — he removes his glasses, and utterly eradicates the Sentinel from existence — as well as about a mile of forest around. Later in the same run, he had his powers psychically de-activated by Emma Frost and had been captured and tortured by an alien warlord. When he finally tells the warlord that the X-Men's secret weapon "Leviathan", was completely fictional (thus throwing out any reason to keep him alive), he starts laughing. The warlord attacks him, demanding to know what else he's been lying about. Then with the villain right up in his face,◊ Cyclops reactivates his eyebeams and blasts the villain, leaving a massive hole in the building.◊
Another instance of this is in the first volume of Ultimate X-Men. Cyclops is being restrained by a Sentinel because it has figured out that he operates his optic blasts by pressing a button on the side of his visor. Scott then reveals that he can also do it by snapping his fingers.
In the finale of X of Swords, Cyclops warns the X-Men gathered to save those in Otherworld to not hold back, that dying there means being Killed Off for Real.
During Age of Apocalypse, Wolverine, here called Weapon X, lost his left hand to Cyclops and it seemed that he had also lost his claws on that hand, too. However, during the final confrontation with Donald Pierce, Weapon X revealed that he had actually retracted his claws before he lost his hand, and promptly gutted Pierce with them.
Quite infamously done by Magneto in Fatal Attractions. After Wolverine badly wounds him, Magneto reaches his breaking point and decides to stop pussyfooting around, casually ripping the adamantium out of Wolverine's body through his pores.
In X-Terminators (2022), after everyone but herself and the Collector have been evacuated from the Collector's ship, Jubilee reveals that she's always been holding back with her powers. Way back. But now she's finally in a situation where she doesn't need to hold back. She proceeds to use her powers to create a nuclear fusion explosion- functionally making a hydrogen bomb, taking out the ship and the Collector.

Bleach: Most battles have this and/or Heroic Second Wind. It's possible to predict who will win a close fight based on who powers up first.
11th squad Captain Kenpachi Zaraki puts a lot of effort into holding back. He wears a specially designed eyepatch made of power-sucking creatures that keeps his power level down, not to mention blocking the vision of a perfectly good eye. He also insists on using his sword one-handed to weaken the force of his blows. When he does finally use his sword two-handed (and with his eyepatch removed), the power that explodes from his cut is enormous. Even when Kenpachi stops physically holding back, he's still subconsciously holding back; this quirk is only resolved through Training from Hell. Prior to the Time Skip, he also braided bells into his hair so his enemies could hear him coming.
Kenpachi's third seat, Ikkaku Madarame likes to be straightforward in battle. His skills, however, are anything but.
He employs a predictable routine of attacking with his sword in his right hand and parrying with his scabbard in his left. Then, just as his opponent has become comfortable with this style, he'll switch his sword and scabbard in mid-strike, reversing his attacks and parries and thus revealing he's ambidextrous.
His shikai manifests as a spear. Except it's not. It's really a three-section staff and it can slip between spear and staff at any stage, completely catching his opponents off-guard and making his attacks unpredictable.
His greatest secret is that he also possesses bankai. He keeps this secret out of fear that he'd be forced to leave the 11th division and become a captain of another squad. He'll even throw a fight if he can't get away with using it in secret. Iba has hinted that Everybody Knew Already.
Yumichika's zanpakutou initially transforms into a khopesh-shaped weapon. Then he reveals it can actually transform into a four-bladed sickle-sword, although it doesn't do anything more than give his opponents very nasty wounds. Finally, Yumichika reveals this is actually a fake shikai and his real shikai is arguably one of the most powerful zanpakutou in the entire manga, being able to absorb the life energy from anything it captures and then use that absorbed energy to heal Yumichika's wounds. The only two times he's used it, he's one-shotted both opponents. The only reason he doesn't thrash people right and left with it is that it's a kidou-type zanpakutou, which is taboo in the 11th squad. He'd therefore rather die than have his squad learn the truth.
Aizen deprives Yamamoto of his zanpakutou because of its reputation for being the most powerful offensive zanpakutou ever. Yamamoto promptly reveals Aizen's error by unleashing hell with his bare fists and some of the story's most powerful kidou attacks.
Nnoitra's released form reveals four arms, which even Kenpachi struggles to fight against. And then Nnoitra reveals he doesn't have four arms, after all. He has six. Naturally, this is the fight that forces Kenpachi to use two hands on his sword.
Ky�raku subverts this. His shikai is a tricky set of weaponized children's games that trap both him and his opponent in the rules of the game until one or the other is dead. The three games become something of a pattern for him, one that Starrk gets used to. Then he reveals he had a fourth game all along, one that allows him to ambush strike through shadows.
When Uryuu and Mayuri fight, Mayuri believes he's resolved the fight quite quickly by paralyzing Uryuu's body with poison. Uryuu reveals he possesses a Quincy technique that allows him to fight normally even when his limbs are otherwise completely paralyzed.
When fighting against Gantenbainne, Sado reveals the enormously powerful right arm he's been fighting with throughout the manga is actually a defensive, shielding power. His real attack force is located in his left arm and is much more powerful than his right arm.
When Soifon and Yoruichi fight, Soifon thinks she has the upper hand and proudly displays her ultimate technique which she's only just invented and mastered and hasn't even had time to name yet... then Yoruichi reveals that she knows all about the technique. She had developed, mastered, and named the technique decades ago and Soifon has in fact still got a long way to go before she comes even close to genuinely mastering the technique.
Gin Ichimaru's bankai extends his sword to 13 kilometers length, and he demonstrates its power by slicing buildings in half with one long circular swing. But he then reveals that the true strength of the weapon is not its length, but how fast it can extend and retract (roughly 500 times the speed of sound), essentially acting as a sword-shaped railgun/machine gun. And then, at a critical moment, he reveals it's not quite that long or fast. The true danger in the blade is that when it extends and retracts, it dissolves into a metallic powder that is left behind in the wounds it causes. The powder dissolves into a deadly, fast-acting, cell-destroying toxin.
When Ulquiorra and Ichigo have their final battle, the former finally decides the latter is strong enough to warrant activating his release, which he uses to completely curb-stomp our hero. Then, when Ichigo refuses to give up despite the clear power gap, he decides to show him his greatest secret: He has not one, but two releases, something no other Arrancar possesses. He then proceeds to open an even greater can of whoopass on Ichigo.

In DEATH BATTLE!, since these fights are duels to the death, character limitations such as Thou Shalt Not Kill and Willfully Weak are thrown out the window to determine who would win. By doing this, one character's potential could easily skyrocket to surpass their opponents.

Invoked in Leif & Thorn when a trainee beats Thorn in a sword fight, and an instructor uses this to deflate his ego. As Thorn says later, though, ever since his dominant arm was severely injured, he actually fights better with the sword in his non-dominant hand.

Angel does this on a regular basis, usually revealing that he's a vampire about halfway through the fight. Vampires, for example, do not breathe, which Angel noted way back in Buffy when a character needed mouth-to-mouth.

Jackie Chan Adventures: Olympian Journey: When the Agents of Chaos attack Buckingham Palace to retrieve the Queen's carriage (where Poseidon's essence has manifested), they expect the palace guards to be easy enough to roll over. However, it turns out that they're all elemental mages, trained to use their powers to defend the royal family from magical threats, and more than capable of putting the villains on the defensive.

The Royal Manticoran Navy of the Honor Harrington series required their newly-built pod-laying Superdreadnoughts to do this in the run-up to their all-out offensive, in order to conceal the existence of the ship type and their revolutionary abilities from the enemy. The result was SD(P)'s performing at a fraction of their capability...and still annihilating enemy squadrons all by themselves.
War of Honor shows what happens when you reveal this too early: The Manticorans are forced back onto their heels by the Havenites unexpectedly pulling this, thanks to Admiral Shannon Foraker being a very busy girl during the Cease Fire. They reveal some devastatingly powerful new superweapons, but they are not ready to deploy them to the entire fleet yet. Realizing this, the Havenites send what is, at that point, the largest battle fleet in history in an all-or-nothing bid to crush the Manticoran homeworlds' defenses and force a surrender. They fail, but not before over a million people on both side die in the battle.
This was also policy later when they found themselves in skirmishes against the Solarian League, to run the starship impeller drives at lower acceleration and fire from ranges that would only need two drives of their Multi-Drive Missiles rather than the range offered by the full three. This was, in significant part, to prevent the much larger Solarian League from realizing how badly outmatched they were in case the Manticorans couldn't prevent an all-out war.
Unfortunately for the Manticorans, this was also the case for the Mesan Alignment Navy, who managed to conceal their entire existence behind the front of the comically inept and corrupt Mesan Navy. Their first move against the Manties? Oyster Bay.

The Simpsons: Marge Simpson, of all people, invokes this trope in the Vancouver Olympics episode. Her arm is sprained in the second-last match and is about to give up. Then, Homer notices her skill with her other arm, which Marge remembers is actually her dominant one. (This is also a literal inversion of the trope name: Marge is left-handed, but has been using her right hand all her life in order to fit in.)

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: In season 2, brain-damaged Gadgeteer Genius Fitz is sent on his first post-recovery mission and is told he will have to reassemble and install a transceiver in under six minutes, despite only having one fully functioning hand. He's shown practicing the procedure one-handed and growing frustrated at his inability to work quickly enough. Come mission time, he's gotten his time down to just over seven minutes, which Coulson points out is still much too slow. Fitz then elaborates: that's his time using only his bad hand. Using both, he'll be fine.

Almost every boss in Dark Souls has a second phase that begins when they've lost about half their hitpoints. While most of them take on new One-Winged Angel forms, Champion Gundyr from the third game notably does not change at all, his attacks simply hitting harder and faster. The implication may be that he wasn't taking you seriously as a threat until now. Since his eyes start glowing at this point, there's a joke among the fanbase that he actually just opened his eyes.

Ah! My Goddess:
In combat, Lind wields a massive halberd against opponents. One such opponent, believing the weapon to be her only method of attack due to not utilizing any other power, shattered it in an attempt to cripple her. Lind proceeded to trounce them as she's actually much stronger without the halberd; wielding it was just her way of being polite.
She also pulled this on Hild in an earlier arc. The latter thought that she couldn't fight since she no longer had her angel, Lind (and Keiichi's) reply can be summed up as I Am Not Single Angeled.

In Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Sundance is auditioning for a position guarding a gold shipment. He asks if he can move and starts to draw. The client tells him not to bother with all that nonsense. He misses badly, and the client dismissively shakes his head. Sundance calls him back, performs a quick-draw and blasts the target. He tells the open-mouthed client "I do better when I move."

Justice League:
The moment when Flash surpasses any speed ever achieved by a human being in order to whup Brainiac-Luthor's ass in the Unlimited episode "Divided We Fall". The episode practically gave the character an immediate boost from the goofy, comic relief of the League to an absolute badass in a few seconds. And to show how serious he was, we learn that going that deep into the Speed Force runs the risk of not coming back.
At various times it is made very clear that The Flash, much like Superman, can cause a lot of collateral damage if he isn't careful. As for the above example, it's implied that he was approaching the speed of light and you can see cars flipping and distant windows shattering just from how fast he is moving. He outright doesn't use his ability to phase through solid material, because it can cause explosions or instant destruction.
Superman lets himself get beaten up a lot because of this; he will fight using all of his powers, and he's beaten many times, but either because somebody broke out the kryptonite or because he's holding back early on and for some reason can't go back to being right-handed. Case in point: when he unknowingly fights Wonder Woman, he has to stop fighting, period, once he realizes it's her and is badly beaten up because of that. However, he frequently talks about the reasons he does this. At one point, he says that every hit he takes is one less hit his teammates has to. This especially comes to proof when Superman fights Darkseid in the series finale. After getting beat down, Superman gives a "No More Holding Back" Speech:
He then turns the tables and lets loose on Darkseid, knowing that he won't be killed right off, and easily kicks Darkseid's ass, sending him flying through several buildings to the other side of the city and then bashing him back down to the ground. Unfortunately, Darkseid then does this as well. Realizing he's outmatched physically, he switches to his technological superiority and instantly defeats Superman.

They Made Me a Criminal: Johnny the boxer is left-handed, and also a fugitive from the police, having been unjustly accused of murder. He gets a bout out in the boonies of Arizona but fights right-handed so that no one will recognize him. He thus winds up taking a beating, until the cop who's tracked him down says not to bother as the cop already knows who he is. Johnny then starts fighting lefty and gives a much better account of himself.

In the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, Stephen is always shown in a wheelchair, provides necessary exposition, developed essential tools for combating demons such as the Demon Summoning Program, and can heal the player's party. Beyond that, he doesn't do much. In Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, not only does he reveal himself to be capable of offensive abilities in combat, but, as part of a Secret Test of Character to Nanashi and the protagonists of the previous four mainline SMT games, he can also stand up just fine and become the hardest Superboss in the game at level 128, putting him at an even higher level than YHVH (100), the game's Final Boss; in other words, Stephen is more powerful than God Himself.

Naruto:
When Jiraiya fights Pain, Jiraiya thinks he's won by defeating Pain's three bodies then it turns out Pain has three more, and one of them can repair the others. Fittingly, he reveals this by ripping off Jiraiya's left arm.
When Pain fights Naruto, he believes that Naruto has used sage mode long enough, and it will expire shortly. It does, but Naruto has got a couple more sage modes stocked up elsewhere. He also generates more sage mode during the battle, while Pain is busy lecturing him.
A, the Raikage, thinks he is still stronger than Bee when the latter challenges him to a Lariat strike. However, Bee reveals he has surpassed him, and completely overpowers him without his Hachibi Cloak.
Early in the series, most of the time Kakashi raises his headband to reveal his Sharingan, he's saying Let's Get Dangerous!.
Also Rock Lee's fight with Gaara. At first, even with his speed, Lee can't get past Gaara's sand defenses. Guy tells Lee that it's time to pull out all the stops, and Lee starts taking off the weights on his legs. No one else thinks this would make much difference, and Gaara's siblings find it outright laughable... and then the weights shake the whole arena and form significant craters when they hit the floor. It turns out they were very heavy. Lee then resumes his attack, even faster than before and able to hit Gaara so fast his sand shield can't move fast enough to block him. Is then revealed that Gaara has a sand armor beside his sand shield and Lee attacks have not done any significant damage. Lee proceeds to introduce him to his Eight Gates Technique.

Supergirl:
When DC brought Kara Zor-El back after her death in Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was rumoured that she was more powerful than Superman. Then Superman proved that his cousin was not more powerful. She seemed more powerful because she hadn't learned yet how to hold back, unlike him, who is always holding back.
In Red Daughter of Krypton, it takes a dozen Green and Red Lanterns to restrain a mad Supergirl. Afterwards, Kara reveals that she was holding back because she was scared of killing them all if she let loose. Guy believes her.

Shadow's story in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) seems to be setting up a Bolivian Army Ending, with Team Shadow surrounded by an evil army of magic clones. Then Shadow removes the Power Limiter rings on his gloves and proceeds to wipe the floor with them. Which is an idea that was first implemented in Sonic X where he removes the ring to better use the Chaos Emerald's powers, though weakening him in the process. This is noted mainly during the final battle of the Sonic Adventure 2 Story Arc of the show when he goes Super with Sonic and stops the ARK from falling on Earth by removing the rings again to give him enough juice.

Kyril Sutherland from The Night Unfurls is an ultra-aggressive attacker that can heal up quickly, and he cannot die. How much stronger can this guy get? Aside from his Beast Blood Pellet power-up, it turns out that his human vessel is just a mask for his nature as a great one, which, like any horror found in a Cosmic Horror Story, is the harbinger of many horrible things. Thankfully, he manages to avert the Blue-and-Orange Morality that comes with it, but that would mean that he fears the consequences of going all out. The one time Kyril slips off his mortal mask just a tiny bit is when his two apprentices get injured from fighting One-Winged Angel Shamuhaza. The fight ends immediately because he gets mind raped by glimpsing what is behind Kyril's mask. There is a reason why he has yet to show off his full power or true form in the series. Never has holding back and then taking one's power up a notch this exaggerated before.

When he first encountered Manchester Black and The Elite (a group of "heroes" that believe supers should be Judge, Jury, and Executioner), he pulled off a Batman Gambit to show them (and the world) just how scary he'd be if he ever really cut loose.

RWBY: Vernal is the Spring Maiden, one of the most powerful entities in the world, capable of summoning incredible Elemental Powers that no one but another Maiden can hope to match. Before her fight with Weiss, her boss Raven tells her not to bother using her powers; Weiss isn't worth it. Vernal wins, but it later turns out this was a Red Herring. Vernal is just a decoy, and Raven the real Spring Maiden; Raven made sure to give that order where everyone could hear it so that they wouldn't question why Vernal wasn't using her powers.

Subverted in the Rocky series. Neither Rocky nor Stallone are left-handed, but throughout the movies, he fights south-paw by preference. In fact, a substantial part of his training for the rematch against Apollo Creed in Rocky II centered on Rocky learning to fight right-handed, and switching to using his left at a crucial point in the fight to devastating effect. Rocky "is not left-handed", but unlike these other examples, he is a distinctly superior fighter when favoring his off-hand.

DC Animated Universe:
Justice League:
The moment when Flash surpasses any speed ever achieved by a human being in order to whup Brainiac-Luthor's ass in the Unlimited episode "Divided We Fall". The episode practically gave the character an immediate boost from the goofy, comic relief of the League to an absolute badass in a few seconds. And to show how serious he was, we learn that going that deep into the Speed Force runs the risk of not coming back.
At various times it is made very clear that The Flash, much like Superman, can cause a lot of collateral damage if he isn't careful. As for the above example, it's implied that he was approaching the speed of light and you can see cars flipping and distant windows shattering just from how fast he is moving. He outright doesn't use his ability to phase through solid material, because it can cause explosions or instant destruction.
Superman lets himself get beaten up a lot because of this; he will fight using all of his powers, and he's beaten many times, but either because somebody broke out the kryptonite or because he's holding back early on and for some reason can't go back to being right-handed. Case in point: when he unknowingly fights Wonder Woman, he has to stop fighting, period, once he realizes it's her and is badly beaten up because of that. However, he frequently talks about the reasons he does this. At one point, he says that every hit he takes is one less hit his teammates has to. This especially comes to proof when Superman fights Darkseid in the series finale. After getting beat down, Superman gives a "No More Holding Back" Speech:
He then turns the tables and lets loose on Darkseid, knowing that he won't be killed right off, and easily kicks Darkseid's ass, sending him flying through several buildings to the other side of the city and then bashing him back down to the ground. Unfortunately, Darkseid then does this as well. Realizing he's outmatched physically, he switches to his technological superiority and instantly defeats Superman.
In the Superman: The Animated Series episode "Knight Time", while Superman poses as Batman after Bruce Wayne disappears, he's forced to hold back as he fights Bane, but after Bane is led to think he's won, Superman stops holding back. It's both hilarious and awesome at the same time.

In Mystery Men, Mr. Furious repeatedly claims how powerful he is, fueled by his endless rage. Like most of the characters in this movie, his powers are undercut by reality. It is even revealed that the urban legend of him lifting a city bus was more accurately described as him giving it a push...while it was in motion. He goes head to head in the final act against Casanova Frankenstein, but is quickly knocked aside by the flamboyant villain. Down and out and off-screen, we hear...Mr. Furious say "rage, taking over" - a line that he had said several times before but without much effect. Frankenstein dismisses him saying, "yah yah yah, we have heard this before." Furious jumps up into frame, new resolve on his face, and declares, "no no no, rage REALLY taking over"...and then kicks some serious butt.

Vow of the King:
Ichigo's bankai has an alternate form called Eik� no Yari (Spear of Glory) which sacrifices his armor for offensive power, which he uses in his fight against Unohana.
When Ichigo's hollow possesses him during their fight, Unohana manipulates the pool of blood her bankai summons to start raining down upon them, both hindering his vision and massively boosting her Healing Factor.
While fighting Soifon, Yoruichi shows just how far her student has to go by activating the second level of Shunko, allowing her to perform a Speed Blitz on the younger woman.

Toriko: Frequent.
In his first battle with Starjun, Toriko powered up mid-battle and wiped the floor with his robotic avatar. Whoever, it turned out that Starjun was immensely stronger than Toriko and lost only because his super-powered robot body was slowing him down.
Later in the story, Toriko pulled one on Starjun. After he used all his strongest attacks on him, which barely did any damage, it looked like he didn't have a chance, until he revealed a new battle technique that basically allowed him to turn all his attacks into one-hit kills and make up new moves as battle go. It looked like Starjun didn't stand a chance, until he managed to learn this technique, just by watching him.
In one of the earlier fights, Coco and Toriko got into a really difficult fight with the Devil Serpent - a particularly nasty giant snake. After the battle was over, Toriko complained that he wouldn't be able to eat it, since Coco poisoned it. Coco replied that he knew that Toriko would want to eat it and purposely used a weaker poison that dissolves when exposed to heat, and if he had used an actually strong poison, the battle would be much easier.
Sunny used this twice - in the fight with Cedre, he pretended to run out of stamina in order to get him in the range of attack, and in the fight with Tommyrod he struggled to remotely control strands of his hair, which were previously cut off by Tommyrod's bugs, accidentally giving the impression that he can't control his Satan hair, while in reality he already had full control over it.
Tommyrod himself looks like he constantly wears bracelets which prevents his muscles from expanding, considerably weakening him and making him look frail (especially by Toriko standards). If he deems his enemy " worthy ", he takes them off, revealing his real strength and his enormous muscles.
Both Jirou and Mansam have special seals which prevent them from using their full power because they considered to dangerous. They take off their seals and use they full power only in the most dire situations.
Monkey king Bambina is the embodiment of this trope. Not only he never fights seriously (he is just trying to dance, but due to his immense strength and speed, his partners end up ripped to shreds), but his is body constantly covered in tight layer of skin and fur that restrains and weakens him, and his true power gets unleashed only after he breaks out of it.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Played with: Tieria is in control of Gundam Virtue, which is capable of transforming into Gundam Nadleeh. Whether Nadleeh is actually more powerful or not is a tricky question: Virtue definitely has the more powerful weapons attached to it, but Nadleeh possesses the TRIAL System, which allows it to completely shut down any Mobile Suit connected to VEDA instantly. Most of the most powerful Mobile Suits are connected to VEDA. Against normal opponents, Nadleeh is weaker than Virtue, but against any VEDA-enhanced machine, it's an "I Win" button. Their successor units, the Seravee and Seraphim act the same way.

A sort of meta example in Jurassic World; after a panicked Pteranodon grabs Katie McGrath's character and flies off with her, she manages to escape her captor by falling into the lagoon at the center of the park. The film seems to take a brief sigh of relief for her, leaving the audience to assume that all she has to worry about now is the Mosasaurus...and then three Pteranodons promptly torpedo gannet-style into the water after her, showing that they're just as competent at swimming as they are at flying (which is believed to have been Truth in Television).

In Jedi Academy it's possible to switch lightsaber styles (there are five in the game; depending on your choice of lightsaber you can get at most three of them), and Kyle even recommends you do it for this trope's sake. The extreme effectiveness of doing this was carried over from the previous game, Jedi Outcast. The Strong style is actually only useful for this in lightsaber fights, ending a battle or knocking the enemy's lightsaber out of their hands (or both).

Birds of Prey: Near the end of the series, the team moves their headquarters from Metropolis to Platinum Flats, which just happens to be the next town over from where former member Black Canary is now living. Of course, it ultimately results in a Let's You and Him Fight between Black Canary and current Bird of Prey member Manhunter. As they battle Manhunter prattles about her recent fights against other superheroes, explaining the successes she has had in sparring matches against the likes of Wonder Woman and is happy to finally have a chance to see how she compares against such a famed martial artist as the Canary. Eventually, she asks why Canary has not used her signature Canary Cry sonic attack. Canary says she "is trying really hard not to put [the Manhunter] in the hospital." Canary wins the fight.

Neon Genesis Evangelion:
The Evangelions have large electrical plugs attached to their back, but when Eva-01 goes berserk during the Zeruel battle it doesn't need power at all. They also have armor which doesn't protect them as much as it restrains them, even being referred to as "binders". After the berserk Eva-01 mutilates and "awakens" after eating Zeruel it pops off its binders by flexing its muscles, which scares Nerv enough to put it under quarantine.
In general, when the Evas go berserk, they tend to do things that didn't seem within their capabilities beforehand (regenerating arms, taking damage that would have destroyed them earlier, and in Rebuild, shooting eye beams and triggering new impacts by themselves!).
Mari invokes this in the second Rebuild of Evangelion film, where she activates Unit-02's "Beast Mode". The Eva's restraints are deactivated, causing it to mutate into a monster that can move faster and strike harder than before.
Asuka does in the third Rebuild films, using a "Beast Mode" similar to what Mari used, and in the final film releasing a limiter from within her eyepatch, causing the remnants of the Ninth Angel still within her to awaken and transforming Asuka and Unit 02 together into a new Angel.

An unspoken example occurs in WordGirl when Becky wants to bond with her father, she hijacks a TV station and broadcasts a message to the entire city. In the message she calmly picks up a metal girder and then begins twisting and crushing it together. Capping it off by saying that if any villains want to cause trouble today, don't. Presumably no one really knows how powerful she is, so Word Girl just decided to make it clear to her rogues gallery that she can destroy them any time she wants.

Two Leasath pilots proceed to trash talk about how he's not what the rumours make him out to be and stalk him in this near-defenceless state. When Gryphus One finally gets to discard the neutralising agent and dogfight properly, the two are taken aback by his real prowess and don't last long.

Persona: The Sougawa Files: There are two major villainous examples.
At first, Shadow Tamiko seems like a relatively easy fight, taken down in even less time than Shadow Hikaru. However, she then reveals she was just using a decoy to fight the party, and then starts attacking at full force - she's much harder then.
Nobuyuki Itou is, impressively, able to keep up with the Freedom Fighters despite not having any superpowers, but they still manage to beat him until he reveals his own Persona, a flaming butterfly called Humbaba, and proves himself to be a capable fighter.

In a cutscene in the Final Fantasy VII prequel Crisis Core, Sephiroth and his then-friends Genesis and Angeal are having a 'play fight' on the Junon Cannon. However, when Genesis gets carried away and goes overboard, Sephiroth reveals just how much he was holding back earlier. Cue Curb-Stomp Battle, complete with a kickass version of One-Winged Angel. Even better, Word of God says he still hasn't been seen at his full power. Also played upon, as he is using his right hand in most scenes, but he is actually LEFT-HANDED.

World of Warcraft:
The Lich King manages to pull this in the final fight in Wrath when he stops messing around and slays your entire party with one attack.
Most raid bosses have a berserk timer; when they hit it, they gain an additional attack that will let them wipe the floor with the raid. Makes you wonder why they didn't just lead off with that attack.

Xena: Warrior Princess: Joxer pulls this, in an almost word-for-word send-up of the famous scene from The Princess Bride, while fighting under a spell cast by Aphrodite that turns him from The Scrappy to The Lancer at the ring of a bell.

Ayakashi Triangle: When Garaku first fought Matsuri, it appeared his Art Initiates Life powers were heavily limited by being water-soluble because they're made of ink. However, a seal Garaku puts on Matsuri mid-way into the series couldn't be washed away. As he explains and demonstrates in the Final Battle, Garaku can make drawings out of pure Life Energy that don't dissolve.

Katanagatari:
A particularly crazy example that spoils an awesome twist: Despite being physically weak and ill, Nanami starts the series able to easily defeat her brother, who defeated the official Greatest Swordsman in Japan. Turns out, she can also copy any skill she sees, including super-strength, spontaneous claw growth, and walking on water. Then it turns out that she has inhuman resilience and can't die no matter how sick or poisoned she becomes. Then it turns out she's acquired one of the Deviant Blades, which cures her weakness and low energy. After all that, she still counts as Willfully Weak! She uses others' skills because her own instinctive combat skills are utterly perfect.
Also Shichika in the final episode, once he doesn't need to worry about breaking the Deviant Swords or getting hurt anymore, unleashes his full power on the new wielders and effortlessly curb-stomps them.

Sonic himself pulls this in Sonic Battle as well as a Let's Get Dangerous!, when he has to fight Emerl. Surprisingly, this is one of the few (if not the only) instances of Sonic not playing around with his opponent or in general. He goes from an adrenaline-pumped and cocky Kid Hero to (disturbingly) a deathly serious and utterly Pragmatic Hero. Then again, when you have 30 seconds on the clock (the previous 30 seconds spent trying to negate the Chaos Emeralds with the Master Emerald and FAILING) before the Final Boss (who happens to be a Physical God) blows your home planet to nothing with A STAR SYSTEM BUSTER and the only way to do stop them is to KILL them (and it's someone you really care about) why would he play around? Sonic just proved why he is the fastest hedgehog alive and that he's got some serious brass ones. He's been holding back a lot more than what we believed he did.

Claymore:
Teresa of the Faint Smile easily defeats the #2, #3, #4, and #5 without releasing any of her power. When the #2, Priscilla, unleashes 80% of her power and starts giving her trouble, Teresa simply releases 10% and easily defeats her again.
Cassandra often fights with her right hand, just in case she ever met an opponent she needed to surprise. Only one opponent has ever forced her to use her dominant arm, and that's the aforementioned Teresa.

Kamen Rider Build: In the final duel of Touto vs. Seito match, Sento gets pounded for hours by Gentoku because Seito's team figures out how to counter Sento's newest form, RabbitRabbit, thanks to data from Sawa, who cooperates because they hold the Nabeshima family hostage. Once Kazumi takes care of the hostage problem though, Sento immediately uses the TankTank form that he and Sawa have been hiding and defeats Gentoku in mere minutes.

In Uncommon Valor, Scott has finally had enough of the much larger Sailor and says he thinks he can teach "an undisciplined brawler" like Sailor a lesson. The huge, lumbering Sailor rushes Scott a few times only to be knocked on his butt by Scott's martial arts skills. Tiring of this, Sailor says to Scott, "Usin' that Oriental martial bullshit on me's gonna get real expensive," assumes a real fighting stance, and uses his own kung fu skill, which turns out to be superior to Scott's, to treat Scott to "the whole can of whoop-ass."

He then removes it and proceeds to kick the crap out of one of the CP9, destroy two-thirds of the Buster Call fleet, one-shot a Vice Admiral (who was using Armament Haki), and fight Admiral Aokiji to a stalemate.

Suburban Knights: After failing to do any damage to Malachite using their costumed weapons (which makes sense since they were mostly just props) everyone abandons their "characters" (Lupa stops acting princessy, Linkara starts using his magic gun, Angry Joe gets out his weapon arsenal, etc.) It still doesn't work though since Malachite is a dark mage while everyone else is mostly un-powered nerds.

In Pokémon Gold (Fanmade), Whitney's Miltank defeats Gold's team seven consecutive times while using just two of its four moves, Rollout and Stomp. When Gold comes back for an eighth attempt with some new tactics and new Pokémon, Miltank reveals its third move, Attract, which leaves his all-male team too enamored of Miltank to fight back as it flattens them all once again. Then, when Gold comes back with a full, mix-gendered team built specifically for taking Miltank down, Miltank reveals that it can heal itself with Milk Drink. This only prolongs the battle, however, and Gold finally emerges victorious.

Bakuten Shoot Beyblade: Michael of the All Starz is introduced as incredibly powerful, with a left-handed shot called Cannonball Attack that has knocked out all opponents thus far. When Max manages to overpower him in the second set of their match in S1E28, the All Starz reveal his left is his non-dominant hand, and the right hand is capable of instilling much more spin power.

In a reversed version of the literal trope, in Persona 5, Goro Akechi decides to play pool against Joker in a right handed fashion. Despite the fact that Akechi wins, Joker notices that Akechi isn't playing with his dominant arm. Akechi admits that yes, he gave himself a handicap by playing right handed as he is actually left handed. This is also foreshadowing of another aspect of his character, but that's another story.

A Certain Scientific Railgun: Mikoto Misaka has the Railgun attack, where she magnetizes a coin and launches it at Mach speeds, but it has a range of about 50 meters because the coin burns up from friction. In her fight with Therestina Lifeline, Therestina makes sure to stay out of her range and mocks her, saying there is no way Mikoto can hit her. Mikoto then reveals she can use the Railgun attack with any piece of metal, even a huge mech's severed hand, and a bigger piece of metal travels farther before it burns up. She just prefers using coins because they are convenient to carry.

Captain America: Civil War features War Machine, who mostly sticks to melee and repulsors (which have variable impact) — right up until Ant-Man goes huge and tries to swing a jet bridge at WM. War Machine — who's already a tad frustrated — unloads all his other guns. The jet bridge basically evaporates. There's a reason it's called the Variable Threat Response Battle Suit.

A darker version occurs in Justice League vs. Teen Titans. Damian Wayne and Blue Beetle get into a fight and Damian asks who's fighting, him or the Scarab. Beetle replies that he hopes it's him. This wasn't a boast, though — it's a warning as he's restraining the Scarab from taking any kill-shots. Indeed, the moment control was lost, the Scarab takes over and flash-fries part of Damian's face.

Resident Evil 4 often requires this to be able to survive the tougher enemies. One can buy a rocket launcher and make quick work of what was originally to be a boss that could easily kill you. The fully upgraded Broken Butterfly will also get the job done.
El Gigantes are most notable examples. Instead of having to shoot them multiple times, then attack their parasites, you just need to shoot them once with a rocket.
Shoot Salazar's "Right Hand" with the upgraded Broken Butterfly or a rocket launcher after freezing it the first time and it will shatter.

In Avengers: Infinity War, it seems that Hulk might actually beat Thanos on the Asgardian ship until Ebony Maw tells his siblings to let Thanos have his fun. With the advantage of surprise gone, it becomes a Curb-Stomp Battle to show Thanos's sheer physical strength with just one Infinity Stone. Which he doesn't even need to beat Hulk. Lampshaded and subverted later in the battle in Wakanda. As Bruce fights Cull Obsidian, he begs Hulk to come out, saying that he always did like coming in at the last minute. Hulk refuses, so Bruce stops thinking like a guy in a big suit of armor and starts thinking like a genius scientist with an advanced and versatile piece of technology. It works.

Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE-: Fai/Fay begins the series with an elaborate phoenix tattoo which Yuuko demands as his payment for the fulfillment of his wish. Much later, it's revealed that the tattoo was designed to prevent his magic from growing in power each and every time he uses it, as it would otherwise naturally do. The reason is he's cursed to kill the first person he meets whose magic exceeds his own. Suppressing his magic only makes it more likely he'll run across someone stronger. And just as a reminder, without that limiter, Fay's magic can destroy an entire world/dimension/at least country when he has a Super-Power Meltdown.

Played with in Super Robot Wars. Sanger Zonvolt is best known for piloting a mech whose only weapon is the Type-3 Zankantou and which uses a custom operating system that turns it into a Motion-Capture Mecha. In OG Gaiden, a villain tries to take advantage of this by disabling the Zankantou, only for Sanger to switch back to the default OS and kick his ass with the onboard weapon systems. The catch is that these weapons had never made any kind of in-game appearance before and had only been referred to via concept art in the artbooks for SRW Alpha 2 (where Daizengar made its first appearance). So it's less "I Am Not Left-Handed" and more "I AM Left-Handed, But I Can Kick Your Ass With My Right Hand Too".

Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Occurs twice when Thor is fighting Loki. Thor is initially holding back, not wanting to hurt his little brother, but then Loki pushes him too far. Both times Thor stops holding back and promptly defeats Loki.
In Thor, Loki actually does this on purpose wanting Thor to fight at full force. He makes a comment about "paying Jane a visit" to enrage Thor, which didn't work out for him.
In The Avengers (2012), Thor is desperately trying to talk Loki down. He seems to consider it, and then stabs Thor sneering at the "sentiment". Thor promptly grabs Loki, lifts him into the air, before slamming him onto the ground. Director Joss Whedon even described this point as Thor "finally having enough of Loki's shit."
Thor pretty much lampshades it in Thor: The Dark World, telling Loki that all the previous times they'd fought, Thor held the hope that the brother he loved remained somewhere, and that hope no longer exists to protect Loki from Thor's wrath.
Captain America: Civil War features War Machine, who mostly sticks to melee and repulsors (which have variable impact) — right up until Ant-Man goes huge and tries to swing a jet bridge at WM. War Machine — who's already a tad frustrated — unloads all his other guns. The jet bridge basically evaporates. There's a reason it's called the Variable Threat Response Battle Suit.
This is discussed in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Spidey is trying to convince Iron Man he's ready to join the Avengers and points out how well he fought against Captain America in Berlin as an example. Iron Man points out that Cap was holding back because he didn't want to harm him. If Cap went all out, Spidey would've been beaten badly.
In Thor: Ragnarok, Hela chokes him on the throne room balcony, and teases Thor for having lost his hammer, asking "What were you the god of again?". Cue the lightning bolts. Which stun her and break Thor free, but don't actually stop her. Thor even admits he's not strong enough.
In Avengers: Infinity War, it seems that Hulk might actually beat Thanos on the Asgardian ship until Ebony Maw tells his siblings to let Thanos have his fun. With the advantage of surprise gone, it becomes a Curb-Stomp Battle to show Thanos's sheer physical strength with just one Infinity Stone. Which he doesn't even need to beat Hulk.

One-Punch Man: Saitama takes this trope leaps and bounds beyond most. Most of the time, every threat he finds, he can trounce without putting an ounce of effort. And then the really powerful villains show up, start thrashing the entire league of superheroes, and he decides he'll get slightly serious about it. And that is when the near-apocalyptic punches start coming out. Woe betide anyone he actually has to punch twice.

Zuko does this when fighting an earthbender and realizing that holding back his firebending to conceal his identity is no longer an option. This backfires on him, when the very people he was protecting and risking his life for treat him like dirt afterwards and run him out of town, albeit understandably, seeing as Zuko's father is leading the army that's been oppressing them and aside from his one stray good deed they've only ever been mistreated by the Fire Nation before.
Later it's reversed when Zuko's staying undercover in Ba Sing Se, capital of the Earth Kingdom, and he's attacked by Jet who's trying to unmask him as a firebender. Jet assumed he could force Zuko to defend himself with his firebending, but instead Zuko shows he's a skilled swordsman, and doesn't need bending to win a fight.

Yureka: In the first chapter, it looks like Team Triple Threat is pretty evenly matched with the monsters they encounter in their Dungeon Crawling. Then they get impatient, and reveal that they were fighting the whole time with their secondary classes, much to their companions' shock. A Curb-Stomp Battle ensues, causing them to lament that they'll never get anywhere if they can't refrain from using their main classes.

In Entourage, Ari attempts to trick a studio executive into betting Vince into a movie during a golf game - he purposely loses the first nine holes before making the bet, and then his game miraculously improves. The exec accuses Ari of trying to trick him - then reveals that he plays much better left-handed, and goes on to defeat Ari.

Daylen Namaran in Shadow of the Conqueror possesses a ton of useful powers, but as a Master Swordsman who thrives on competition and combat, he holds back on using them for most of his fight with Captain Blackheart simply because he enjoys fighting someone who can give him a real challenge.

In the fifth Skulduggery Pleasant book (Mortal Coil), Skulduggery and China corner an expert swordsman by the name of Burgundy Dalrymple and ask him to surrender. He appears to be thoroughly beaten and remarks on how the heroes seem to have bested him when he suddenly swaps his sword to his left hand and proclaims, "I am not right-handed!" The exchange leading up to that moment is an almost word-for-word parody of The Princess Bride.

Rosario Vampire: Brightest Darkness Act III: In chapters 41 and 42, the gang (minus Tsukune) is doing relatively well against Kuyou, and Rason and Ahakon remark that the fight is relatively easy and that Kuyou is a joke; however, Kurumu and Moka, who have faced Kuyou before, quickly inform them that the only reason they've been doing so well in the fight thus far is because Kuyou hasn't even been trying. Sure enough, Kuyou goes One-Winged Angel soon after Moka says this and makes short work of everyone... until Tsukune reenters the fray and annihilates him.

Sometime after his death in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Greil is revealed to have crippled his sword arm because Lehran's medallion caused him to go Ax-Crazy and kill his wife. When the Black Knight finds out he didn't fight the true Greil because of this, he holds back in his final fight in PoR so that Ike will become stronger and show him what Greil was truly capable of. And the person that reveals this to the player also counts.Volke is actually an assassin hired by Greil to kill him just in case he goes berserk again. After the revelation, Volke gets his promotion from thief to assassin. And then makes the same deal with Ike.

Weak Hero:
Gerard struggles in his fight against Seongmok until he pulls out a card he's been keeping close to his chest; he doesn't fight with his feet because it's his specialty, but because he made a promise not to use his fists for a year. With that year expired, he effortlessly pummels Seongmok into unconsciousness.
Alex is an unintentional example, as even he didn't realise that he's left-handed until a kindly stranger at the gym points it out to him. When he changes his stance to adjust for it, he realises how much more natural it feels.

The trope name and the page quote come from The Princess Bride. Inigo Montoya is so good that he fights with his left hand just to keep things somewhat challenging, but when faced with the Man in Black, he realizes he's being outmatched and switches the sword back to his right hand to gain the upper hand again. Too bad the Man in Black was also fighting with his off-hand, presumably for the same reason. In the film, if you look closely, you'll notice when the Man in Black first starts to draw his sword, he is drawing it with his right hand until he notices that Inigo plans to fight with his left hand.

We know almost from the start that Eithan of the Cradle Series is hiding his true power (it's mentioned, for example, that his ranking among the Underlords of the Blackflame Empire is due to personal choice, not actual skill), but it's not until the climax of Reaper that we find out his true power: he's Ozriel, Eighth Judge of the Abidan, and the most powerful being in the multiverse in a straight-up fight.

In Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's "Take Me Out to the Holodeck," actor Max Grodénchik, who played Quarks's brother Rom, intentionally batted left-handed. Max play semi-pro baseball prior to becoming an actor, and was too good right-handed to be convincingly inept as Rom.

Starfighters of Adumar has a scene where Wes Janson faces a foe in a sword fight and uses his weapon in his left hand. This is actually a feint, as he immediately uses his free right hand to disarm his overconfident opponent. After that, the fight becomes a brutal display of how his extremely skilled opponent never bothered to train for situations where he would not actually have a weapon.

In Band of Brothers this trope appears in such perfect form it almost looks like it was the Trope Namer. In the 4th episode ("Replacements"), Buck Compton plays darts against one of the new guys — Heffron — and loses saying, "It's a good thing we weren't gambling." Heffron suggests they bet on the next game and Buck "reluctantly" agrees. Before Buck takes his shot, he switches to his right hand and wins easily. Heffron has just enough time to realize he's been conned.

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS: Nanoha, Fate, and Hayate voluntarily put limiters on their powers in order to continue working together, officially because of the office politics of having too high a concentration of power in one unit, but actually to disguise the true power available to Section Six, the reactions when the villains found out just how well this worked were priceless. Nanoha (who coincidentally is left handed) also inverts this when powering down her weapon and using her weak hand to blast Teana into unconsciousness as part of a lesson.

A similar example is Maki in Hayate × Blade, who had always held her sword in her right hand until it was severely injured by her opponent.

In Asura's Wrath, half-way through the fight with Augus, he relishes the fact that Asura is putting up a decent challenge and takes out his sword Wailing Dark, proclaiming that not even the finest wine or the fairest maiden excites him as much as using his blade. The game then cuts to Yasha and Deus, who senses this and notes that Augus has only ever used his sword once before, and that was with Deus himself.

In the third book of Counselors and Kings, heroine Tzigone has a Wizard Duel against the Smug Snake archmage Procopio Septus. Because Tzigone has Anti-Magic powers as well as wizard magic, she initially has the upper hand, since none of Procopio's spells can hurt her directly. But once she sufficiently injures Procopio's pride (among other things) he decides to start fighting seriously and it turns out that a pompous blowhard of an archmage is still an archmage, and there are plenty of things a sufficiently powerful wizard can do to kill you that don't involve directly hitting you with a spell. Only some very quick thinking saves Tzigone's life.

Gunnerkrigg Court has a training example, in sparring between Parley (who is a good fencer) and S13. They dance a little, then Parley tells to stop holding back... to a robot going extreme parkour merely to move around quickly. She also chose a much heavier blade. The next round ends before it starts and even when she's ready it doesn't take long. Of course, then Parley uses her talents fully, and she isn't constrained by the sword's inertia much when blinking around.

In The Flash (2014), after Cisco learns to reliably produce Vibe blasts from his hands, he doesn't use them much. When he needs to take down Killer Frost, he is reluctant and holds back for fear of hurting her. When Julian finally convinces him not to hold back, he rather easily wins a Beam-O-War with her and then blasts her into unconsciousness. It's no wonder the Killer Frost and Deathstorm of Earth 2 were afraid of his double Reverb, who told Vibe that he had no idea how powerful he could become.

Gintama:
Kagura pulls this on Abuto. They seemed a pretty equal match until he has her pinned to the floor and helpless, but it turns out she wasn't fighting with her full power; she then goes full-on Yato on him and proceeds to give him a thorough thrashing.
Not a conscious reveal so much as a Superpowered Evil Side triggered in response to Shinpachi almost being killed by Abuto. Shinpachi actually has to stop Kagura from killing Abuto, knowing that in her right mind she wouldn't want to.

The Fallout games allow you to specialise in many different weapon types. You can be really good at using ordinary ballistic firearms but choose to use energy weapons even if your skill with them is weaker but you like the pew-pew effects. But when it comes down to fighting a particularly tough enemy, you can always put the laser rifle away and switch to a high-powered Anti-Materiel rifle with explosive ammunition and turn a deathclaw into bloody chunks.
Unfortunately your NPCs in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas are never left-handed and will nearly always use the biggest weapon you have given them. Players using their companions as pack mules must take care to never give one both the weapon and the ammunition to carry at the same time, lest they find their sidekick firing your carefully hoarded and expensive missiles against molerats.
Fallout New Vegas when playing with the GRA DLC installed active encourages the player to be left-handed. Part of this DLC adds a series of Challenges that often require the player to kill powerful enemies with horribly unsuitable weaponry, i.e. killing 5 adult Deathclaws using the absolute weakest weapons in the game, or killing 10 of the extremely quick and erratic Cazadores using explosives that have a long fuse timer before detonating. While the savvy player will realize that only the killing blow needs to be delivered with the required weapon, and hence soften up the target with something more sensible first, most of these Challenges are still excellent ways to discover when the player last made an autosave.

Mobile Suit Gundam Wing has the reverse. During their duel where Wufei is struggling to match him, Trieze points out that Wufei could have torn him in half with his extendable dragon arms minutes ago and called it a day. Wufei says he wants to defeat Treize blade to blade (which is odd since Wufei is using a double-ended spear at least twice as long as Trieze's sword giving him a massive reach advantage anyway). Trieze has to end up throwing the fight for Wufei to win, pissing Wufei off, and causing mental anguish that he didn't really beat him to haunt him for the next year.

During Age of Apocalypse, Wolverine, here called Weapon X, lost his left hand to Cyclops and it seemed that he had also lost his claws on that hand, too. However, during the final confrontation with Donald Pierce, Weapon X revealed that he had actually retracted his claws before he lost his hand, and promptly gutted Pierce with them.

I, Robot features a fight between Del Spooner and an NS-5 robot that's actually trying to kill him (as opposed to the fight with Sonny, earlier in the movie). Spooner hits the robot with a metal pipe once or twice, which the robot shrugs off, and it acquires possession of the weapon. After successfully dodging the robot's first swing, the robot's second and third swings are blocked by Spooner's left arm — and on the second impact, we see part of the inside of the arm exposed, revealing that Spooner's left arm is, in fact, mechanical. (Which — when the robot looks surprised, or as surprised as a robot can be — he acknowledges with an almost-apologetic "Yeah.") He connects with a hard punch and a leg sweep using that arm, and tries to punch the robot while it's on the ground — only to miss, and have his fist go through the asphalt.

Anyone: Shoto spends most of the fic hiding the fact that he can use fire from the rest of his classmates, leading to some of them - or at least Katsuki - believe that he can only use ice. After Dabi and Izuku respectively talk and punch some sense into him, Shoto reveals to Katsuki that he can use fire; which leads to Katsuki unleashing the loudest Skyward Scream he ever did.

Happens as early as the second episode in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003). Ed opts to allow Cornello to think that it's the State Alchemist watch that lets him perform alchemy without a transmutation circle. Then, when the time comes to show otherwise, he bluntly tells Cornello "My skills don't come from a pocket watch!"

The Prince of Tennis:
Ryoma plays his first match in canon with his right hand. He manages to upstage his opponent in this state, but eventually decides to reveal that he is not right handed, and completely crushes the terrified opponent. Ryoma is fond of confusing his opponents this way throughout the series.
This is probably the most prevalent in Ryoma's showdown against Yukimura in the finale of the OVA, where Ryoma almost gets out-dueled by the much-feared Yukimura, and falls to the ground exhausted, but suddenly wakes up in a Deus ex Machina and out-duels Yukimura in reverse.
Also, Inui purposely handicaps himself with ankle weights, which he later removes to the shock of his opponent. He's not the only one who does so, either; the non-regular Arai also uses weights. As does every other character in the series in at least one match.
Tezuka, as a first-year, was already better than his senpais, so he hid the fact that he was better, to not insult them. When Tezuka's cover was blown, one of the senpais lost it and hit him in the arm with his racket, this being the source of his infamous injury.
Pulled off spectacularly by Shusuke Fuji, who upon finding out that Hajime Mizuki had taught his younger brother Yuuta a very dangerous move that could potentially cripple him, allowed him to win five games in a row based on the data he'd gathered about Fuji. He then proceeds to trash Mizuki for a 7-5 win, showing why he's considered a prodigy among his peers.
This also happens in the second movie, Battle of the British City, where after Ryoma's reveal of being left-handed, Keith also switches to his dominant left hand having been using his right hand for most of the match.
Actually, this happens quite often, notable examples being in the manga.
During Kikumaru and Oishi's match against Rikkai's Niou and Yagyuu, it's revealed halfway through the match that Niou and Yagyuu have been imitating each other, and when they finally switched back to being themselves, their moves' power increase (helped by the fact that since Niou's dominant hand is his left, they've both been using their weaker hand up until the reveal).
Also with Shiraishi in the New Prince of Tennis, where it's revealed during a match that the reason his left hand was wrapped in bandages was because underneath he was wearing a golden gauntlet. With that taken off, the power and speed of his shots become impossibly high.

Alanna does this in the second book of Song of the Lioness. She's chosen to duel for Tortall's honor when a knight from Tusaine's delegation insults them; when he wound her in the right arm and presses for the kill, she switches her sword to her left hand and defeats him. This is a Chekhov's Skill from the first book when she was shown learning to fight left-handed after breaking her right.

Star Driver episode 3 features a mecha sword fight. At first, Takuto's opponent is kicking his ass...until he pulls out a second sword. Eventually, we learn that Takuto has been doing this the entire time. What looks like New Powers as the Plot Demands is actually nothing of the sort. He's been trained to be a Driver since birth, and knew nearly everything his mech was capable of. Since he needed every advantage he could get, he fought his opponents using the minimum amount of skill and abilities, and whenever they reached the point where he was in trouble, he revealed his next trick. And then comes another I Am Not Left-Handed moment after the fight itself: "How does it feel to use a cybercasket despite having a mark?"

Superman: DC Comics icon Superman is prominently known for holding back all the time to avoid one-shotting his opponents' heads off as well as general collateral damage. When the gloves are off, however, fights tend to end quickly. Issue 669 explores this in depth (a flashback to his rookie years, when he had to be extra careful because humans are squishy). For what happens when Superman stops holding back, see "No More Holding Back" Speech.
When he first encountered Manchester Black and The Elite (a group of "heroes" that believe supers should be Judge, Jury, and Executioner), he pulled off a Batman Gambit to show them (and the world) just how scary he'd be if he ever really cut loose. But despite unleashing enough power to deliver them a Curb-Stomp Battle, he's still holding back, making sure not to kill them and to avoid excessive collateral damage.

In the Italian remake of Battle Fantasia Project turns out Sailor Venus had been consciously holding back for the whole anime out of fear of being rejected by the other Sailor Senshi (as her friends in middle school had done when she had started dedicating herself to her duty as Sailor Venus). She explains it after her reaction to returning to life after Galaxia surrender and redemption and, before learning what had happened, decided to stop holding back and nearly killed Galaxia (in fact the only reason she doesn't is that Artemis tells her what happened right before she can snap Galaxia's neck).

In Back to the Future Part III, a gun salesman is trying to teach Marty how to shoot, to demonstrate the Colt Peacemaker, and laughs at Marty's terrible shot. However, it turns out Marty is not left-handed as he switches to his good hand... It might be worth noting that the salesman seems to deliberately thrust the gun into Marty's left hand. Marty does try to switch hands, but the salesman stops him. As noted on other pages concerning this, revolvers were shot in the left hand during those days. This was because you needed your right hand to hold the reins of the horse.

In the 1957 Disney Zorro TV series, Don Diego de la Vega is a master swordsman, with many awards for his swordplay in Spain. When he decides to become a sword-fighting vigilante, one of the first things he does is to dispose of his awards so as to better pass himself off as a clumsy Idle Rich to his new neighbors in California. One episode's plot naturally revolves around Don Diego being challenged to a duel and having to somehow win while still fighting left-handed (figuratively speaking) so as to avoid blowing his cover. Interestingly enough, it doesn't fool the Capitán. If anything, it more or less confirms for him that Don Diego is Zorro.

In A League of Their Own, the "ugly" girl, Marla Hooch, has a moment like this during her batting demonstration for Ernie Capadino (Jon Lovitz). After several good hits, Marla's father says, "Okay, Marla, now hit lefty," which causes all the guys in the field to groan in anticipation. She had been batting right-handed but was a switch-hitting natural left-hander. She hits a towering home run and gets signed for the new league.

Jaime Lannister averts this trope in A Song of Ice and Fire in the most heartbreaking way after the Bloody Mummers cut off his right hand. He tells people jokingly that he only let them do it because he wanted to make swordfighting more interesting. In reality, however, he's not remotely competent with his left hand - he can't even hit a bear with a thrown bone.

One Piece:
During his battle with Blueno, Luffy realizes that he won't able to win as he's fighting currently, so he kicks in Second Gear. Blueno is immediately Curb-Stomped.
The same thing happens later when Luffy fights Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold, whose Haki gives them the ability to predict his attacks and the strength to guard against them. Then Luffy kicks in Gear Second. Their strength is no longer adequate to guard against his attacks, and while they can still predict his movements, he's too fast for them to keep up with them.
Same thing happens with Gear Fourth in Luffy's fight with Doflamingo - however, after spending some time getting punched across the town, Doflamingo activates his awakening power, equalizing chances.
A literal example with Kanjuro. Turns out, he does not suck at drawing; he's actually drawing with his left hand around his allies (when he's really right-handed) as part of his cover as The Mole. When drawing normally, he is very skilled and can mix that skill with his Devil Fruit to create living drawings indistinguishable from the real thing. The heroes only realize the full extent of his power when Kin'emon tries to slash him, only for "Kanjuro" to crumple like paper and disappear, revealing they were talking to a clone while the real Kanjuro was elsewhere.

Pokémon:
Whenever some boss, such as the champion, evil team leader, etc. sends out their last Pokémon as a last resort, as a general rule, it's usually the most powerful. Taken even further in generation six and onward, with the introduction of Mega Evolution; NPC trainers with a Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution will always send out that Pokémon last, and most players will try to do the same unless their Mega-capable Pokémon is forced out by an opponent's attacks.
This is always the case in your first fight with a Gym Leader. Their job is to test new trainers, not utterly crush them, so their initial team is scaled to where the player is expected to be, despite being explicitly the most powerful trainers in a region who aren't the Elite Four or the Champion.note or in the case of Blue, surpassing the Elite Four and the Champion. He was Champion for all of 10 minutes before being dethroned by Red and then took over the recently vacated Viridian Gym, and by the time of the games where he appears as a Gym Leader Red has abdicated the Champion's seat leaving Elite Four member Lance in his place In games allowing rematches, they go all out in the rematch, using Pokémon of a much higher level and often Pokémon they didn't use in the initial battle.

Fate/Zero: Lancer fights using a long and short spear. During his first duel with Saber, his Master orders him to get serious, so he puts the short spear on the ground, giving the impression that it is an ordinary weapon. Eventually, Saber gets overconfident, parries his long spear, and lunges. At this point, Lancer suddenly kicks his short spear into his hand and stabs her. Turns out it was special after all, as it gives a Wound That Will Not Heal.

This is discussed in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Spidey is trying to convince Iron Man he's ready to join the Avengers and points out how well he fought against Captain America in Berlin as an example. Iron Man points out that Cap was holding back because he didn't want to harm him. If Cap went all out, Spidey would've been beaten badly.

In the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, Count Dooku is disappointed at how easily he's defeating Obi-Wan and Anakin, until it is revealed that they have been disguising how good they've gotten at their favored fighting styles by using lightsaber forms they are less familiar with, and have just been screwing around to throw him off. Once they start fighting for real, Dooku realizes how badly outmatched he is and begins to panic.

Civil War:
In the What If? Civil War special, Henry Gyrich creates an army of Thor clones to enforce registration. Reed Richards notes that Thor once told him that no matter how powerful a mortal is, he will only ever use a third of his strength for fear of killing them. The clones, of course, have no such restraint.
When the real Thor comes back after Civil War, he confronts Tony Stark over what he did - with his hammer. When the lightning bolts start flying, Tony blasts him - to no effect. He tries the "old school" approach, and Thor sends him flying and near-cripples his armor with one hit. He says that Thor must have been working out, in shock at how hard he was hit. Thor replies that the only difference is that "In this time and this place [he is] no longer holding back."

In the seventh season of Game of Thrones, this trope comes up on a strategic scale. Daenerys Targaryen invades Westeros with both a vast army and three dragons, which are for all intents and purposes Game-Changing Fantastic Nukes. Right off the bat, she's in the position to take the capital by force, but doesn't - she has no intention of becoming "queen of the ashes", so she settles for more conventional warfare using her Unsullied legion and Westerosi allies. This allows enemy commanders Jaime Lannister and Euron Greyjoy to outmaneuver her, dealing her several stinging defeats. At that point, she decides she's had enough playing around and attacks the rear end of the Lannister army with both the Dothraki hordes and one of her three dragons, utterly curb-stomping them and making it abundantly clear what will happen if she decides to stop holding back.

Spider-Man:
Spidey, Marvel's flagship character, does something similar to Superman, too, albeit at a much lower level; after all, Spidey collars ordinary crooks almost as often as he clashes with super-villains (and several of them still have only human-level toughness), and using his full strength to punch out a non-superpowered bank robber would end up rather messy. Often, he avoids this simply by webbing up normal guys rather than fighting them directly. A rare example of his actually taking the kid gloves off occurred in Back in Black when he was goaded by The Kingpin, someone who had always been considered a worthy match for him before — but not now. With nothing left to lose, Spidey wiped the floor with him, letting every witness (and there were plenty) know he could have done that any time he had wanted. Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow showed he was still holding back: had he really wanted to, he could have punched a hole straight through Kingpin's chest without much effort.
This is also further hit on by Doctor Octopus when his mind took over Spider-Man's body, as he noted in shock that he was surprised how much Parker had been holding back and pulling his punches all those years that they fought. This revelation came after Otto accidentally punched the Scorpion's jaw clean off.

Leverage:
In "The Tap-Out Job", Sophie panics when she realizes that the mark, not trusting Eliot's promise to throw an MMA bout, has drugged his water... and thus taken away his ability to hold himself back. It turns out it's all part of the con and Eliot didn't actually drink the drugged water, but other dialogue during the episode suggests that Sophie's description is not inaccurate.
Eliot does it again in "The Big Bang Job". After three seasons of insisting he doesn't like guns and handling them only to dismantle and toss them away, he finally picks up a pair of handguns in order to face off with a good dozen mooks working for the season's Big Bad. The absolute carnage that follows hits just about every gunplay trope in the book.

Gilgamesh of Fate/stay night is easily capable of defeating any of the Servants simply by raining an endless number of Noble Phantasms down on them. However, he does not subscribe to overkill theory; even though he uses overwhelming force in battle, he could easily use even more, but chooses not to. Most notable is his refusal to bring out Ea, a sword capable of destroying worlds, unless very impressed or in significant danger. Even then he never uses more than a small fraction of Ea's true power, since destroying the planet he's standing on would be a very stupid thing to do.

Throughout The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Majora's Moon is slowly falling towards Termina over the course of three days, threatening to destroy it. When you reach the end of the game and confront Majora, they just drop the moon, which begins falling at top speed and can only be stopped by the Four Giants. That whole lengthy fall from the sky? Completely unnecessary. Majora was just dragging out Termina's destruction so it could revel in the fear of its inhabitants before they died.

Fullmetal Alchemist:
While fighting Wrath in the manga, Scar reveals that during the three-month break he has tattooed his right arm with his brother's reconstruction transmutation circle getting rid of his weakness that he could only deconstruct using alchemy.
Much earlier, Edward fought Slicer/Number 48 a Boxed Crook turned Animated Armor who displays his blood seal on the back of his helmet during the fight. Ed then knocks the head off, knowing he couldn't control a body he wasn't connected to, but then it turns out "Slicer" was actually two Serial Killers (brothers), the other of which was put in the same armor, but the seal was on the torso. This is then Lampshaded after Ed beats him as well and he pokes the armor cautiously while asking if there was a third one. The older Slicer brother resignedly says no, it's just the two.
When Ed fights Kimblee, he manages to screw up one of the half transmutations circles on Kimblee's hands and knock the Philosopher's Stone out of his hand to prevent Kimblee from using any alchemy without wasting time drawing another circle, but Kimblee had another stone hidden in his mouth (and had for literally years). Explosions ensue.
It turns out Sloth hasn't been fighting with all his abilities because he's too lazy. When he gets badly pummeled by the Armstrong siblings, he remarks it's time to "go full throttle":
In an extra chapter in the manga "The Military Festival" Ed and Mustang battle it out (or rather, Mustang shoots flames at Ed as Ed runs around dodging). Ed suckers Mustang close enough to rip off the transmutation circle on his glove when Mustang reveals that his left hand (which was in his pocket the whole time) also has a transmuting glove on it. So it's more like I Am Not Right-Handed. Later, during Mustang's fight with Envy, it turns out to not be a gag when we see Mustang consistently using his left hand for pinpoint burning and his right hand for big explosions.
Happens as early as the second episode in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003). Ed opts to allow Cornello to think that it's the State Alchemist watch that lets him perform alchemy without a transmutation circle. Then, when the time comes to show otherwise, he bluntly tells Cornello "My skills don't come from a pocket watch!"

Chrono Trigger: Slash, one of Magus' generals, is as famed as a legendary swordsman as his comrades are for their control over magic. When confronted, he puts up a respectable fight, but something just seems to be missing... until halfway through, when he acknowledges the team's prowess and takes his sword off the wall. Uh-oh.
Some gamers still have a soft spot for his old battle cry. "Yes, indeed!" heralded pain.

This Bites!:
In Chapter 49, the Duel to the Death between Ryuma the zombie and Zoro barely begins before the former pulls this. Apparently, after too much property damage just from practicing, Hogback embalmed him with liquid lead. Undoing a knot at his neck will make it all ooze out, but he has strict orders in that regard:
While in Impel Down, Luffy and Gladino realize that Buggy, while normally an East Blue pirate, knows Observation Haki when dodging bullets a smidge too quickly for normal reaction. Buggy tells them that he's been hiding his strength because he was tired of the craziness of the New World and wanted to stick with the weaker East Blue. And then during Marineford, Sengoku reveals that Buggy was one of Gol D. Roger's cabin boys. Enraged that his plans of an easy life was foiled, Buggy goes on a rampage that leads him to fighting Mihawk to a standstill.

In X-Terminators (2022), after everyone but herself and the Collector have been evacuated from the Collector's ship, Jubilee reveals that she's always been holding back with her powers. Way back. But now she's finally in a situation where she doesn't need to hold back. She proceeds to use her powers to create a nuclear fusion explosion- functionally making a hydrogen bomb, taking out the ship and the Collector.

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfics:
The Bridge: A dark magic-enhanced Starlight Glimmer, who is far stronger than a normal unicorn, thinks she has more than enough magical strength to overpower an unawares Godzilla Junior, as he was outside of his kaiju form and reduced to a unicorn. What she didn't know was he retained much of his original power and was on par with Princess Luna, and her method of goading him into a confrontation left him enraged. Cue him shrugging off her magic and handing out a Curb-Stomp Battle.
The Elements of Friendship: In Book II, when Discord first escapes his prison, Celestia confronts him directly, ditching the regalia that worked to keep her magic in check, as she naturally gives off the same amount of solar radiation as a star; for this fight, she actively channels it.
Oversaturated World: Said word for word in Unfriendly Compeition - Dark Crystal, when Rarity fights Royal Pin:
Paradise: In chapter 21, Celestia and Luna have an Oh Crap moment when the dragon they are fighting turns out to be a magic-user.
Rainbooms and Royalty A textbook example happens when Twilight tries to stop Blackened Armor (her brother who's been corrupted by Nightmare Moon). He mocks her, saying that he remembers everything from his old self and knows that he always won whenever they duelled in the past. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't know that Twilight has been holding back ever since the traumatic day she gained her cutie mark and her power awakened, deliberately keeping her strength down for fear of hurting others. He also doesn't know that she's recently been having an inspirational talk with Rainbow Dash and Applejack, convincing her to trust her magic power and not fear it. She even cites Superman's "world of cardboard speech" before letting loose on the villain.
Pony POV Series:
Thunderchild hides the fact that unlike a regular Pegasus, he doesn't need a cloud to fire lightning due to being a Gifted Pegasus.
The Princesses are constantly doing this, as their true cosmic power would be rather destructive if fully unleashed. For reference: Celestia is fully capable of using a solar flare to wipe out a planet if she wanted to.
In To Dethrone a Princess, it turns out Celestia is doing this. The story implies her regalia is actually a Power Limiter, and without it her physical strength is so immense she leaves craters in the ground by walking. She only takes it off when a rebellion cuts her off from her magic and proceeds to deliver a Curb-Stomp Battle.

Doctor Who: In "The Christmas Invasion", the bad guy has the Doctor at a disadvantage in their challenge sword duel, and slices off his right hand. The Doctor, however, grows a new one instantly due to previously-unknown Applied Phlebotinum, dubs it a "fightin' hand", and proceeds to soundly defeat the bad guy.

Child of the Storm:
Thor gets thoroughly sick of the HYDRA distraction du jour — a necromantically reanimated Kraken said to dwarf a Chitauri Leviathan which has been shrugging off everything the Avengers have been throwing at it, even Loki turning into a serpent the size of an apartment building — and draws in so much power from Earth's magnetosphere that it prompts Magneto to briefly investigate, before vaporizing it in a single shot.
In a variation on this trope and 11th-Hour Superpower, in chapter 75 of the first book, Jean Grey is pointedly informed by Doctor Strange just how powerful she really is.
In the sequel, Harry's having trouble in his fight with 'the Beast' a.k.a. the Blob a.k.a. Dudley Dursley after several years of relative time under the influence of Sinister and the Red Room, in large part because he's initially holding back (though having his Psychic Powers blocked, and the psychological impact his opponent's identity and Nigh-Invulnerability, didn't help). After he gets pummelled a bit, he demonstrates just how dangerous he really is.
In a much more dangerous example, Harry spends most of the Forever Red arc hinting that he's holding back. When he's finally pushed over the edge by a phenomenally brutal Trauma Conga Line, he shows just what he meant by unleashing the Dark Phoenix. Since calling this a Dangerous Forbidden Technique would be an epic understatement, it is both a statement on how far gone he was that he used it, and a very good thing that he doesn't do so again.

A specific example is Mark Henry: when in the ring, others are capable of holding their own with him and even overpowering him, and for behind the scenes reason is often buried or downplayed. However, one time someone forgot to use a gimmicked chain and used a real one instead. Instead of breaking character or telling someone, Henry just tore it in half with his bare hands. Several people who have beaten Henry in the ring have made it clear his World's Strongest Man title is Not Hyperbole and they'd have no chance of overpowering him if he was actually trying.

Hunter × Hunter:
Played with in the Greed Island arc, where Killua and Gon train with Biscuit Krüger who looks like their age, but isn't. Not only that but when she fights against an opponent while Killua and Gon aren't around, she turns into a huge muscley beast that is her "real form" and utterly obliterates the opposition. She's quite strong before this, so it isn't so much hiding her strength as it is she thinks the form is really ugly and doesn't want people to see it.
There is also Netero in the hunter exam, where he challenges the boys to a game where they have to snatch a ball from him before sunrise. Netero spends most of the challenge using only his left hand and right leg, in the end they try and succeed in forcing Netero to use the rest of his limbs after they knew for sure that they could chase him for a year and not catch that ball.

In The Avengers (2012), Thor is desperately trying to talk Loki down. He seems to consider it, and then stabs Thor sneering at the "sentiment". Thor promptly grabs Loki, lifts him into the air, before slamming him onto the ground. Director Joss Whedon even described this point as Thor "finally having enough of Loki's shit."

The Dresden Files Tabletop RPG allows players to leave their character's skill proficiencies blank at first and fill them in as the game progresses. They can even roll a skill at a baseline level and later declare that they have proficiency in it, since they might have in-character reasons to hide their strengths.

In TRON: Legacy, Sam fights his way to where his father's identity disc is being held. He gets cornered by Rinzler escorting a captive Quorra, who had previously trounced Sam using dual disc weapons. Rinzler doesn't account for the fact that Sam has two disks on his person now too when he and Sam square off. The surprise second disk careening at his head, combined with Quorra using that as a distraction to kickbox him (as her hands were bound), is too much for even Rinzler, and he's left hanging... literally.

The Avengers: The climax of New Avengers (2015) sees Sunspot up against the Maker, an evil alternate version of Reed Richards. Sunspot has kept himself out of the action up until that point due to a disease that got rid of his mutant power to convert sunlight into strength. Except, as he reveals to the Maker, he didn't lose his power; on the contrary, it got a Deadly Upgrade, and he's been keeping it close to his chest just in case. He then effortlessly pummels the Maker.

John Carter of Mars, the "Greatest Swordsman of Two Worlds", deliberately sandbags a couple of times over the course of the series, usually because he has a secret plan and he's stalling for time while it comes to fruition. He fights just barely well enough to keep from getting killed and takes the offensive just enough to keep his opponent from getting suspicious until he finally sees whatever it is he's been waiting for, at which point the fight is generally over within seconds.

Ben 10: Omniverse: Later on in the series, Ben gains complete control over Alien X, meaning he can use all of the transformation's reality, space, and time-warping powers on command without having to deliberate with its other two personalities first. However, Ben still doesn't feel comfortable wielding all that power arbitrarily so he still avoids using Alien X unless it's absolutely necessary. When facing the brainwashed Plumbers' Helpers, who he wanted to incapacitate without hurting, he turns into Alien X and effortlessly pins them to the wall.

This trope is very common in the Trails Series with bosses pulling off this trope.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC has a Heads I Win, Tails You Lose situation against Lorence Belgar where he's an optional boss but if you "win" against him in battle, he apologizes for holding back and one-shots the party in the next cutscene with his sword skills.
Wazy from The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure, leader of "Testament" gang, is constantly at odds with leader of a rival gang "Saber Vipers", Wald, to determine which of the two gangs hold authority in Crosbell's downtown. In Ao prologue when Wazy joins SSS, Wald challenges Wazy for another match only to be easily defeated, showing that he has been holding back in their previous duels. Near the end of the game, it's revealed that the reason Wazy was that strong is that he's one of Dominion, twelve strongest fighters in Septian Church's Gralsritter with the nickname "Blue Testament".
Rean in The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II pulls this off during the Divertissment chapter against Lloyd and Rixia where after he and Altina stalemate the two of them, decides to first use his Super Mode, only for that to get interrupted by the machine Lloyd brought with him. Then Rean decides to summon his Super Robot and destroy the server and tells Lloyd that they'll split the losses for now on his terms.

Ages of Shadow:
At one point, Maximus Domino conjures up Jade in a way that reduces her to a quarter of her regular strength. At first, this looks like it's allowing him the edge to actually hurt her, only for her to reveal that she's so powerful that even her reduced strength is far beyond his. She just faked her injuries as a sick joke.
During the Final Battle, Jade also reveals that the Exact Words of the rules for the Yade Khan game allow her to interfere and declare the winner. She just never has before because Victory Is Boring.

Hajime no Ippo: Akira Shigeta's boxing style inverts this. He uses a left-handed boxing stance while being actually right-handed, so his jabs pack more power than his opponents expect. This works to his advantage since most people believe him a southpaw, so using his strong arm from the beginning allows him to deal strong punches and gain an early lead in his fights.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
"The Freshman": A vampire has busted Buffy's left arm up, and she's spent most of the episode conspicuously not using it and fighting one-handed. Then...
Later at the end of Season 4, Buffy manages to break the skewer (which had been Adam's primary weapon). Her triumph is short-lived. Bonus points for the skewer coming out of Adam's left arm.

Doctor Strange: The last fight in Doctor Strange: The Oath is a fistfight between Strange and Nicodemus West, who also knows magic but has deployed some anti-magic phlebotinum, expecting he can take Strange in a fair fight. Doc lets West pummel him for a minute or two (and waste his energy) before breaking out the Kung-Fu Wizard skills.

Bohun pulls this literally in the first installment of Sienkiewicz Trilogy, by throwing his saber from one hand to another (movie version makes it look very epic). It's useless against Wołodyjowski, who takes him down right after that. Although this was a one-off surprise attack (described as a trick only the best duelists could pull off), good against an average opponent but not so useful against the professional knowing all tricks of the trade (Wołodyjowski knows the trick and uses it himself a couple of times).

The God of High School: Jin Mo-Ri's power level is estimated at level six when he first enters the tournament. That is, until he actually uses his legs to attack, which more than doubles his power level to 13. Furthermore, the judges revealed to be holding back by not using their special abilities.

Appears a couple of times in Star Wars Legends novels.
Starfighters of Adumar has a scene where Wes Janson faces a foe in a sword fight and uses his weapon in his left hand. This is actually a feint, as he immediately uses his free right hand to disarm his overconfident opponent. After that, the fight becomes a brutal display of how his extremely skilled opponent never bothered to train for situations where he would not actually have a weapon.
In Drew Karpyshyn's Darth Bane: Path of Destruction, Bane eventually has to fight Kas'im, the Blademaster from the Sith Lord academy where he had trained, who uses a two-bladed lightsaber. Though Kas'im is the foremost Master Swordsman of the Sith, Bane is stronger in the Force and, after training with Kas'im privately for countless hours, already knows all his moves. The pupil is at first beating the master... until Kas'im detaches his saber-staff into two separate sabers, revealing that the real reason he has been telling his students Dual Wielding is useless is so that no-one else would learn it, or how to defend against it, which Bane indeed now can't.
In "Dynasty of Evil", one of the reasons Zannah is hesitant to fight Bane and take the mantle of Sith Lord for herself as the Rule of Two dictates is she's concerned he might be holding something back. He is. Still doesn't save him.
In the novelization of Revenge of the Sith, Count Dooku is disappointed at how easily he's defeating Obi-Wan and Anakin, until it is revealed that they have been disguising how good they've gotten at their favored fighting styles by using lightsaber forms they are less familiar with, and have just been screwing around to throw him off. Once they start fighting for real, Dooku realizes how badly outmatched he is and begins to panic.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi:
The entire Negi/Kotaro vs. Rakan/Kage consists of the opponents one-upping each other ludicrous levels. Negi does it five times in a single chapter.
Rakan later combines it with Screw Destiny. When disarmed, dislegged, told he's a puppet, and shown that the Princess has been hypnotized. He responds by putting on magical armor arms and legs and getting up for round 2.
Rakan in general is this trope. After he was finally defeated by Fate and dissolved by the Code of the Lifemaker, he re-materializes when Fate taunts Negi and then gives Fate a final epic punch and tells Negi to kick his ass before dissolving for real.
Happens also in the final fight of the Mahora Festival Arc. After destroying the main secret weapon of his opponent (and his own equivalent weapon gets destroyed in the meantime as well), Negi declares that now he has an advantage because he can use magic and his opponent cannot. Then suddenly his opponent reveals that she is pretty good at using magic in battle too. Of course, he should have expected this, since she is his descendant from the future.

Empowered:
In Vol. 4: Emp confronts Fleshmaster, a former hero who'd turned his powers against everyone at Capes' award banquet. Emp's suit had been shredded down to gloves, rendering her naked and powerless. Fleshmaster gives her a quick Not So Different speech (They were both considered the Butt Monkeys of the hero community) and offers to spare Ninjette and Thug Boy... if Emp will give him a blow job. Emp goes "Shut Up, Hannibal!"... before revealing that she could turn her suit invisible at will. Cue Curb-Stomp Battle.
Syndablokk also does this earlier, when he and Emp were getting thoroughly thrashed by a villain, he shows that he has the ability to manipulate concrete, masonry, and pavement, but doesn't use it much because it could cause a lot of collateral damage and the aftereffects tend to linger.

The Bridge: A dark magic-enhanced Starlight Glimmer, who is far stronger than a normal unicorn, thinks she has more than enough magical strength to overpower an unawares Godzilla Junior, as he was outside of his kaiju form and reduced to a unicorn. What she didn't know was he retained much of his original power and was on par with Princess Luna, and her method of goading him into a confrontation left him enraged. Cue him shrugging off her magic and handing out a Curb-Stomp Battle.

Joss Whedon scores a hat trick here; in the pilot of Firefly, the titular vessel Serenity is fleeing a Reavers vessel hot on her heels and bearing down upon her — turns out that her thrusters rotate all the way around, allowing her to pull a Crazy Ivan and escape.

Black Cat:
In Volume 2, Train Heartnet reveals that he is not right-handed. As a matter of fact, he was originally left-handed, learned to wield his pistol ambidextrously, and switches to his dominant hand to increase his fighting potential (i.e., speed and accuracy).
A similar example is Maki in Hayate × Blade, who had always held her sword in her right hand until it was severely injured by her opponent. Another character explains that she had not been fighting with her full power previously, because the manner in which she was gripping the sword was completely different.

Rurouni Kenshin: Played for drama by Hiko Seijuro, who wears "a white cloak set with springs opposing the muscles and 10 kan (80 lbs) of shoulder-weights. It's been used by those who hold the name of Hiko Seijuro to restrain the inheritor of the Hiten Mitsurugi's power in times of peace." He takes the cloak off in preparation to attack with the lethal and exacting Kuzu Ryu Sen, forcing Kenshin to master the succession technique or die trying.

Street Fighter:
Akuma does this deliberately. The form everybody sees him in is Akuma using only part of his power. Shin Akuma, however, is when Akuma stops holding back and goes full-force at whomever he's fighting. Considering every version of this form that a player can fight doubles as a SNK Boss, it's lucky he doesn't do it more often.
Oro from the Street Fighter III series keeps his arm bound in his gi sleeve so he doesn't accidentally kill his opponents. He gets to use both his arms in powered-up versions of his supers in Third Strike.
Applies to Cody as well, who intentionally wears his prison handcuffs to make his fights more exciting.

When DC brought Kara Zor-El back after her death in Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was rumoured that she was more powerful than Superman. Then Superman proved that his cousin was not more powerful. She seemed more powerful because she hadn't learned yet how to hold back, unlike him, who is always holding back.

In one episode of Mission: Impossible, Willy has to compete in a judo competition, and it's all he can do to keep from losing long enough for the rest of the team to do what they need to do while he is distracting the audience with the match (despite Willy's considerable strength, he has never trained in judo before the start of the mission). At the end of the episode, he ends up fighting the villain's judo champion again, and since it's not a formal match, Willy switches to jujitsu, a martial art he has trained in, and mops the floor with him.

Alternate Tail Series: Like in canon, Lyon Vastia starts out in the series using one hand to perform ice magic. But instead of this habit forming from an arrogant and incorrect belief that one-hand style is superior, this was a means to disconnect from his tragic memories of Ur and Gray. Once he starts using two hands, he gets the upper-hand against Gray.

Babylon 5:
Done to tragic effect in the backstory: during the early phases of the Earth-Minbari War the Minbari inflicted a small series of Curb-Stomp Battles against EarthForce until Sheridan managed to nuke the Minbari flagship during a raid in the Sol System, prompting the Minbari to pull back for a while and then come out more unstoppable than ever, as the raid in the Sol System was a scouting manouver to prepare a decapitation strike because they didn't want to fully mobilize their standing force. After that loss, however, the Minbari got serious and, even without mobilizing their reserves, they methodically occupied the whole Earth Alliance and destroyed EarthForce as they slowly but inexorably came for Earth to start the complete destruction of Mankind.
Done by EarthForce during the conflict against the Ch'lonas, the Koulani, and Drazi raiders. It was not by choice, as the conflict happened at the same time as the Earth-Minbari War and what they used to hold the line was what they could spare from the desperate attempts to slow the Minbari down while they tried to evacuate the Sol System and the Inner Colonies. Once the Minbari suddenly surrendered, however, the remnants of EarthForce, augmented by the ships that had been put into production in the previous months and didn't need to be sent against the Minbari (whose numbers included the augmented variants of the Hyperion that had been sent against the Minbari and the brand-new Omega-class destroyers), went after the Ch'lonas, the Koulani and Drazi raiders, and showed them the difference between what Earth could spare to fight jackals while also dealing with a Hopeless War and a battle-hardened force equipped with state-of-the-art weapons.

A variation occurs in The Quick and the Dead. Before his duel with Herod, Ace Hanlon gives a Badass Boast of how he killed four notorious outlaws, two with each hand as he's just as good with either. Unfortunately Herod, his opponent in the Quick Draw contest reveals he actually killed those outlaws and proceeds to shoot Ace's right thumb off, then puts his gun back in the holster and offers Ace a chance to try with his left hand. Seeing Herod's right hand is occupied lighting a cigar, Herod draws only to get a bullet through his palm as Herod draws and shoots with his own left hand. The trope is lampshaded in the climax when Herod finds that Cort, the man he wants to duel all along, has his gun hand broken. Herod says he could use his left to even things up, but unlike Ace he really is just as good with both hands.

Saint Seiya: Happens multiple times during the Twelve Temples Arc and the lead-up. Most of the times is the Gold Saints that, for a reason or the other, are holding back, but the final (and most magnificent) it's Shun who reveals he had been on the level of the Gold Saints since the start of the series (and indeed, the moment he goes all-out he kills one after all his previous blows having caused little damage out of an attempt of simply force his surrender), he just didn't want to kill his opponents unless he had to (Shun actually uses his Andromeda Cloth as a voluntary Power Limiter), but break that and force him to go bare-handed, and you learn he can literally Blow You Away.
