Willfully Weak	comment	A Power Limiter in which a character is intentionally suppressing their true strength, be it by magic, technology, willpower, or just by not powering up. Can be for all sorts of reasons. Maybe they want to give their opponent a fair shot at winning. Maybe they don't know their own strength, or letting loose would simply uncork their Power Incontinence. Maybe they just want to be normal. Maybe they are afraid of the collateral damage. Maybe they want to try this Weak, but Skilled thing so they learn to fight tactically rather than steamroll others with brute force. Or maybe it's just to keep their power from overtaking the plot. Whatever the case, they have decided to be this trope. To be clear, this is NOT faking it, or merely going easy on their opponents. The character actually is as weak as they appear... but only because they choose to be. They could stop suppressing their powers at any moment and suddenly be an unstoppable powerhouse. Of course, given the possible consequences of them using what they normally keep under wraps, it's not always a "choice" made lightly. Obviously, what is considered weak varies greatly from story to story. In some stories, they'll be almost the Muggle. In others, they'll actually be quite powerful, but far behind the other supers. In still others, they'll actually not be weak or normal at all and be one of the more competent fighters, but nowhere near what they'd be capable of without this self-imposed limitation. This trope, for obvious reasons, often applies to gods in human form. May be caused by Internalized Categorism. May lead to a "No More Holding Back" Speech or to the discovery that I Am Not Left-Handed when the crossing of the Godzilla Threshold means it's time to get dangerous and show their true power. Rarely (if ever) leads to Always Need What You Gave Up, because when they choose to limit their powers for mundane reasons, they can just make an exception, and in cases where their reasons are more dire, well, losing the fight is better than blowing up Main Street. Despite similarities, not likely to overlap with Just Toying with Them, as characters doing that don't care too much about playing fair and maintaining their self-imposed limitations. In video games, compare Cherry Tapping. This can overlap with Fights Like a Normal for a character that usually suppresses all fantastic powers and fights as a Badass Normal. A character that ditches their restraining bolt becomes Not So Weak. Compare Obfuscating Stupidity, for when a character specifically pretends to be dumb. Not to be confused with Weak-Willed, which is a character that gets brainwashed easily. Goes with Conditioned to Be Weak, where a powerful character is only docile and submissive because they are conditioned to follow orders and/or fear their leader.

Willfully Weak / int_15c6ea11	comment	Wonder Woman (1942): Di regularly allows herself to be "defeated" and captured by villains to quickly find out where their base is and have a better chance of overhearing plans and finding out more of their associates' identities. Once she has what she wants she easily tears through whatever restraints they'd thought up for her.

It takes her a bit to fully recover and she ends up collapsing near the end, but she's still able to keep her ace in the hole hidden from her captors until she escapes.

Willfully Weak / int_1670bd19	comment	In a somewhat meta sense, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., as in the game itself. In Shadow of Chernobyl, the combat AI is pretty damn good; enemies can (and will) use cover effectively, retreat to a more tactically advantageous position and ambush you, navigate wide open areas, and dodge and duck around building interiors to get the jump on you. However, if the developers and the press who got to try the pre-release builds are to be believed, this AI is severely dialled back — in earlier builds, enemies could also score headshots against the player, heal themselves and their allies with medkits, throw grenades with unerring accuracy, loot weapons off dead bodies, and intelligently avoid anomalies and other environmental hazards. Oh, and your NPC allies would also complete quests and fulfill objectives without player intervention. The developers removed these abilities for the final release because they were worried the Artificial Brilliance was too brilliant to the point where it would consistently outsmart and frustrate the player. Certain realism and survival mods unlock these behaviours in the game's files, and they're a masochist's dream.

They could let Ranma become completely undetectable (by sight or Battle Aura), toss Razor Wind to demolish enormous bronze statues, rip out opponents' hearts, strangle them, or pierce their backs — but he won't use even the basic "invisibility" skill, not even against powerful foes when nobody would have blamed him.

Willfully Weak / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Cyclops, Depending on the Writer, does this with his energy beams. Normally, they are strong enough to punch through metal, but through disciplined training and special glasses, he can set them to a sort of stun effect. Given that he hasn't yet learned how to stop constantly projecting them through his eyes, this helps people to feel safer around him. His brother Havok works in a similar fashion, using his powers to simulate concussive force by controlling the power of his beams and the distance they travel very carefully. When he gets serious, he can break the Hulk's bones with direct blasts, absorb enough power from stars to survive in space, and beat the tar out of Vulcan, who normally has complete control over all forms of energy. Overlaps partly with Power Limiter, as Havok absorbs far more energy out in space than he does on Earth, but he still holds back the vast majority of his power, even on Earth. Jubilee has the power to cause explosions. The main limitation on her powers is that she really doesn't want to harm anybody. Quite aside from her potential for mass destruction on a nuclear scale, it's been shown that, if she wanted to, she could set off a small explosion inside someone's skull; luckily, she really doesn't want to. However, she mostly uses her powers to create flash-bang effects. She's only ever done this to a Prime Sentinel, but it can be safely assumed that most humans would not survive it. In the 90s, it was established that Gambit was so afraid of the potential for his Person of Mass Destruction powerset that he had Mr. Sinister cut out a piece of his brain to diminish his ability to use said powers. Without that surgery, Gambit would have total control over kinetic energy, which would not only allow him to both use his Stuff Blowing Up power from a distance and target living creatures with it, but also give him a full-fledged set of Combo Platter Powers, including setting things on fire and freezing them, absolute motion control, becoming an Energy Being, interplanetary teleportation, time travel, and dimension travel. To put things in context, an alternate version of Gambit who never had the surgery was introduced having beaten Dark Phoenix, a creature with the power to destroy and recreate the universe, singlehandedly. Of course, that Gambit had also inadvertently annihilated all life on Earth by accident, so Gambit feels more than a little justified in having the surgery. This plot has been largely ignored since the 90s.

Willfully Weak / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach Ikkaku is hiding his Bankai so that he won't be forced to become a Captain, so he tries not to use it when he fights even when his opponents require Bankai to be defeated (unless he's sure that there's no one around to tell). He actually throws a fight and is defeated by Poww precisely because he refuses to use Bankai. Poww can tell Ikkaku is hiding his true power even though Ikkaku refuses to admit it. In the end, Ikkaku has to be rescued by Captain Komamura and receives a stern lecture from Tetsuzaemon about his behaviour. Yumichika goes one step further than Ikkaku: he's hiding his entire power. He fakes his shikai release to hide the fact he possesses a kidou-type zanpakutou from his kidou-hating division. As a result, he fights physically, on willpower alone, even when his opponents have released their full power and are thrashing him due to the imbalance of power. When he does decide to release his abilities and actually use them, he's so powerful that he one-shots his opponents. Ichigo gets a moment of this fighting Dordoni, a Privaron Espada. He's reluctant to release his now-controllable Superpowered Evil Side as he knows that it will leave him weaker for later fights, and also knows that he's going to hit problems if he's releasing it this early on. He's eventually forced to release it, turning a near-defeat into a Curb-Stomp Battle. Normally though, Ichigo fights at full strength. After losing control of his Hollow powers during his fight against Ulquiorra, Ichigo once again becomes reluctant to use his Hollow mask out of fear he'll lose control again—and when he does use it he subconsciously suppresses its power—something that Aizen and Tensa Zangetsu both chastise him over. Hitsugaya's zanpakutou's most powerful and most basic ability can be used in either shikai or bankai. However, he traditionally avoids using it in bankai even when he needs to because his inexpert control over it and wide area of effect would drag in too many bystanders/allies. Against Harribel, he only decides to use it when his bankai is half-gone, allowing him better control than he would have had when his bankai was at full power. Kenpachi absolutely loves challenging fights. Unfortunately for him, he's so dang strong that there are few people who can give him such fights, even if he's not taking it seriously. So, he limits himself by using an eyepatch that weakens his spiritual power, ties bells to the tips of his spiked hair to give away how he's manuvering, deliberately ignoring all swordsmanship he's learned, and not even bothering to learn shikai (the most basic Shinigami ability). His version of the Super Mode other captains possess? Actually fighting like he wants to win. He also subconsciously limits his power after he defeated Yachiru Unohana in his childhood and feared losing the only Worthy Opponent he'd ever had. His training with Unohana in the Thousand Year Blood War arc is largely based around forcing him to discard these limits via nearly killing him until he gets the message that he can't win at his current level. Ulquiorra Cifer is the Cuatro Espada of Aizen's army and generally a No-Nonsense Nemesis, but it's revealed he actually has two limits on his full potential. The first is the fact that unlike most Arrancar, who traded their high-speed regeneration for a raw power boost after evolving, Ulquiorra kept his and forwent the power boost, meaning he's still "only" as strong as his original Hollow self (though considering he was a Vasto Lorde previously, this isn't much of a problem). The second is that his rank is only based on the power of his first release, and he possesses a unique second form (Segunda Etapa) that no other Arrancar in Aizen's army has and that not even Aizen himself knows exists. Coyote Starrk is the Primera Espada and one of the powerful members of Aizen's army, but it doesn't really show because Starrk is both Brilliant, but Lazy and a Reluctant Warrior whose heart is rarely into fighting. Which is a good thing, because he can stomp Captain-level foes into the ground easily when he finally gets motivated. Following a rather humiliating defeat at the hands of Ã„s NÃ¶dt (thanks in no small part to the Sternritter stealing his Bankai), Byakuya showcases how he's become stronger in the intervening days by casually shrugging off one of his attacks during the Wandenreich's second invasion. Ã„s NÃ¶dt assumes that Byakuya accomplished this by setting up his Bankai in advance, only for Byakuya to clarify that he's still only using his Shikai (and he proves it by showing he's still carrying Senbonzakura's hilt in his hand). Ã„s NÃ¶dt sees this as Byakuya mocking him and promptly loses it. The second cour of the Thousand Year Blood War arc revealed that the members of Squad Zero except for IchibÄ“ are bound by a blood seal that suppresses the majority of their power and prevents them from using their Bankai; and to release it, three of the four members have to die. When it is released, the remaining member's power skyrockets to the point their spiritual pressure causes earthquakes in Soul Society, the World of the Living, and Hueco Mundo.

In Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, the sequel to Path of Radiance, laguz Volug has a special skill called "halfshifting". It allows him to stay in his wolf form indefinitely, rather than being limited by the usual laguz transformation gauge that, upon depletion, forces a laguz unit back to their essentially powerless humanoid form until the gauge fills again. But there's a cost: Volug takes penalties to all of his stats (except for HP) when halfshifted. After Part I of the game, the skill can be removed and Volug's stats will return to normal, but he'll have to contend with the gauge like other laguz units. In Fire Emblem: Three Houses, this is implied on one of the game's routes. The Flame Emperor, The Heavy for Part 1, is actually Edelgard. If you're with the Black Eagles, you've been using Edelgard up until that point, but unless you've done heavy Level Grinding her stats as the Flame Emperor are considerably higher than they were while under your control.

It's implied that the suit's powers go as far as deicide, but nonfatal takedowns? Those options are jury-rigged from the scarab's damage and Jaime's willpower.

Willfully Weak / int_2e3e7ac2	comment	Justice League Unlimited: The Flash can accelerate up to light speed if the situation is dire enough, and he literally transforms into the thunderbolt that is his superhero symbol. "Divided We Fall" makes it clear why he normally doesn't: just running down streets basically causes them to explode from the shockwave, causing untold amounts of damage. It also turns out to be very dangerous to him, so he vows that he can never do it again after the first time. The Flash's secondary ability, which you almost never see: he can vibrate at an incredibly fast rate, creating an unstable resonance. When he ends up swapping bodies with Luthor in "The Great Brain Robbery", Luthor uses this ability without restraint in order to blow up huge areas of the Tower. In his "No More Holding Back" Speech in "Destroyer", Superman explains that he has to be this nearly all the time, because he is so immensely powerful that he has to take extra care not to break the world around him... but since Darkseid can take his strength, he doesn't need to screw around anymore.

Willfully Weak / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: The title character could kill himself — and many others — if he ever uses his full power. Rock Lee wears weights on his legs to reduce his speed. He takes them off during the fight with Gaara. Unlike Naruto, Lee is not host to an apocalyptic demon, but he has learned techniques that, if abused, could kill him. His sensei forbids him from using even the most basic of these techniques (which they share) except in a dire emergency. When Lee takes off the weights for the first time, several characters scoff at the idea that it'll make a difference against Gaara. Until the weights hit the ground and produce substantial craters, implying that Lee must have been wearing a few tons of weights. Which really ought to have resulted in massively powerful kicks while he was wearing them. To be fair, the problem wasn't that he wasn't kicking hard enough. He simply wasn't fast enough to get around Gaara's sand barrier with the weights on.

Willfully Weak / int_30b255fb	comment	Superman is always doing this because he's so powerful, the rest of the world may as well be made of cardboard, and the slightest lapse in control on his part could kill someone. When Supergirl arrived on Earth -in the post-Crisis universe-, it was thought she was actually more powerful than Superman because he had been holding back so long it seemed that even he forgets what he can do when he lets go (it seems she does still have the edge in flight speed, whereas he has an edge in strength and toughness) His son and successor Jon Kent has this way worse, he's terrified of accidentally hurting a Muggle with his super-strength, to the point that he gets Nightwing to train him in martial arts so he can learn how to disarm people with minimum force rather than just yanking the gun out of their hand like his dad would; and dodges blows that couldn't possibly hurt him so people don't accidentally break their knuckles on him. This actually works to his detriment because he subconsciously holds back even against powerful supervillains who could take his full strength.

Willfully Weak / int_31a8701b	comment	The Flash: People connected to the Speed Force are capable of ridiculous levels of Super-Speed, but since the vast majority of the world isn't, they only tap into a fraction of their potential power most of the time. In fact, this is largely the only reason most of their enemies stand a chance; they use so little of their speed that it's still possible for non-speedsters to catch them off-guard, especially when attacking from behind. This is extra justified by the fact the Speed Force doesn't give this power out for free; using too much of its power causes them to start being pulled into the Speed Force itself, which requires a tremendous amount of willpower to resist the pull of (Wally West is the only one regularly shown capable of such, at least initially). As most would rather not abandon their loved ones, they stave off pushing themselves unless they need to, such as when trying to out-race a nuclear explosion to evacuate a city, escape the concept of death itself, or fighting an evil speedster who has no qualms about how much speed they use.

Willfully Weak / int_33acebd8	comment	Guilty Gear: Slayer is an ancient, possibly thousands of years old vampire and the former head of a major guild of assassins. His Instant Kill move involves him landing a single punch at his full strength, which has sufficient force to knock his opponent into a neighboring galaxy. Despite this, he has no particular desire to kill anyone, and intentionally avoids using his full power because doing so would take all the fun out of fighting. If beaten, he simply lies on the ground, smoking his pipe and looking vaguely amused. Potemkin is considered a One-Man Army by many, but in-game he wears a Power Limiter around his neck to prevent casualties (he's investigating, you see.) His Instant Kill involves him removing the restraint and landing a single punch. Sol and Dizzy also count. They do it because if they fought at full power they'd probably unintentionally kill everyone and everything within a mile radius. Although in Sol's case, it may also just be because he's a lazy ass who doesn't put much effort into anything anyway. REV 2 reveals that Ky is this, to the point where Sol, yes the same one as above, was terrified of fighting him if he went all out. Ky explains that in a real fight to the death, he's a Combat Pragmatist as opposed to a friendly spar. And he demonstrates this wonderfully by handing Sol a Curb-Stomp Battle after too many of his Berserk Buttons were pushed, to the point where Sol is lying in a crater and Ky, no worse for wear. Ky does lambast Sol for not going all out himself however as usual so the jury is still out on who would come out on top in an all-out fight between the two.

Willfully Weak / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: In Dragon Ball, Goku's fighting in a tournament and reveals suddenly that he's wearing extremely heavy clothes, as part of his training. And is suddenly a lot faster once he gets rid of the extra weight. The same thing happens again several times, all the way up to Goku's fight with Freeza, at which point everybody is so strong that weighted clothes are no longer enough of a Power Limiter to bother mentioning. Weighted clothes show up in one of the games, (Buu's Fury), taken to hilarious levels. By the end, you can wear one kiloton armbands and boots! In the 22nd Tournament, Goku purposely held back so he wouldn't kill the people he was fighting, it was a tournament after all. Since he figured that Tien wouldn't die if he went all out, he cut loose, proving to be stronger than Tien although only by small amount. This was hinted at earlier when he was fighting Krillin, warning him that he was going to hit a little hard, so don't die. During the fight against Nappa and Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z, Goku limits his use of the Kaio-ken technique because the strain of using it at high levels can damage his body. He could have used the Kaio-ken x4Kamehameha that finally defeats Vegeta right from the start, but it wasn't worth the risk until it proved absolutely necessary. Frieza limits his power because his body can't take it. Unfortunately, when he does go all-out against Goku, it's too late, since his stamina didn't last throughout their fight. When Goku fights Vegeta the second time in the Buu Saga, in order to avoid burning out his remaining time, he decides not to use Super Saiyan 3, instead restricting himself to Super Saiyan 2. Vegeta finds out about Goku's self-imposed limit later on. Needless to say, he is less than happy about it. Gohan is depicted as having the potential to become, quite literally, the most powerful warrior in the entire universe if he wished (and he actually does so a couple of times), but is a pacifist by nature, only fighting when someone needs his protection. Typically, his true strength only reveals itself through Unstoppable Rage. In the U7 vs U6 Tournament in Dragon Ball Super, it's revealed that Hit, U6's Ace, is holding back his best techniques. This is because Hit is an assassin by trade, so his best moves are killing techniques, but killing your opponent in a tournament is forbidden. Goku goes out of his way after the tournament to arrange to fight Hit with no restrictions, accepting the possibility that he could die in doing so.

And as she demonstrates in the second OAV, "weak" is a very relative term. Even with her powers restricted, she's much stronger than Ryoko, who, prior to Washu's appearance, was arguably the single most powerful cast member other than Tenchi himself. Then again, Ryoko only had one out of three jewels; Tenchi didn't let her have the others, even when giving them to her would have been a good idea, making her a partial example. Later on GXP shows that Tenchi starts doing this himself since he, like his grandfather, prefers living simply without the responsibility of running the galaxy.

In this state, she forgets all her Skills and makes herself always weaker than her opponent.

(We've seen at least one Knight who gave into temptation to use it at full power, and the results were not pretty.) It takes a lot of Heroic Willpower to even resist the mantle's conscious urges, and even then, the Knight gradually grows accustomed to the strength and speed it gives him, forgetting the limitations of normal people and becoming increasingly cruel. The protagonist is clearly established as a Determinator, and even he acknowledges that he won't be able to stave its urges off eventually. In Cold Days he submits to the mantle's energy to win an especially difficult fight, and his ensuing actions are both unnervingly sadistic and very powerful.

Willfully Weak / int_46aac2a3	comment	Elden Ring: In the distant past, Maliketh was Queen Marika the Eternal's shadowbound beast and half-brother as well as her top enforcer. So mighty was he that he was able to defeat the Gloam-Eyed Queen, take from her the Rune of Destined Death, and reshape it into the Black Blade that would become Maliketh's signature weapon. At this time, he was so powerful that he became The Dreaded to all other beings in the Lands Between and his name became synonymous with "the death of the demi-gods." However, shortly before the Great Offscreen War, the Rune of Death was partially stolen from Maliketh to forge the Black Knives, and at present he's elected to seal the remains of the Black Blade in his own flesh to ensure its safekeeping. Not only does this weaken him in the sense that he can no longer use his most powerful weapon without first breaking the seal, housing death within himself also weakens his body, and the incomplete nature of the Rune of Death has additionally saddled him with an unquenchable Horror Hunger. Malenia does this constantly. The Scarlet Rot that's made her Delicate and Sickly (by demigod standards) is actually a blessing from the Outer God that created the Rot, making her a potential goddess of Scarlet Rot. However, as actually using said divine power would result in spreading Scarlet Rot everywhere she goes, she instead struggles to keep it contained within herself, leaving her a Magically Inept Fighter with a terrible disease instead of a terrifying plague deity. This is reflected in her boss fight: In her first phase, as Blade of Miquella, she fights as she normally would - pure swordsmanship and stubbornness - and attacks relatively slowly because her focus is constantly split. When she decides that the fight has passed the Godzilla Threshold and embraces her title as the Goddess of Rot, she shows off vastly increased aggression, flight, clone attacks, and a massive Rot AOE. Played with in the case of Godfrey, the First Elden Lord. He grafted the spirit lion Serosh onto himself to restrain his bloodlust. He kills Serosh during his boss fight to unleash his ferocity as Hoarah Loux, but this doesn't directly increase his power so much as trade raw stats for extra aggression and unpredictability. You're still going to get powerbombed to death if you can't immediately switch gears, though.

In The Empire Strikes Back, Vader is clearly this, only getting serious at the end of the fight, when he cuts Luke's hand off. In ROTJ, while Luke has clearly grown up and is by all means a prodigy, and also lacks Vader's massive injuries, Vader still has more than three decades of experience and knowledge above Luke, and no matter how powerful or talented Luke is, the idea he could beat Vader after at most a year from their previous duel is quite far off. It makes sense to think Vader is unconsciously holding back, even if he does not acknowledge it, because as Luke says, he is deeply conflicted, does not want to kill Luke, and is not fighting at the top of his game, which does give Luke an advantage. Luke, meanwhile, briefly goes in the opposite direction after Vader threatens to turn Leia.

But before Kofa Yokh became the Master Listener, he was the general of the city police during the War of the Orders and is likely the most powerful Plain Magic user in Echo.

Willfully Weak / int_50555681	comment	Katanagatari has two examples: The first is a particularly crazy example (warning: 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. And then it turns out she uses others' skills so she can be weaker, as her instinctive combat skills are utterly perfect! The other is Shichika himself. He's given orders by Togame to protect the swords, Togame, himself, and himselfnote It Makes Sense in Context, which proves to make some of the fights more difficult. In the last episode, he is under no such restrictions, and shows exactly how powerful he is by destroying all twelve swords. How much the restriction to protect himself mattered is evident during his duel with Emonzaemon.

Willfully Weak / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Undertale Both Toriel and Asgore are listed as having 80 ATK and DEF, values surpassed only by the No Mercy route superbosses. But Toriel doesn't actually want to hurt you — neither does Asgore, for that matter — and a monster's strength is directly proportional to its Killing Intent. However, the player can still die when faciing them, as Toriel has trouble controlling her own strength, and while Asgore doesn't, he has to kill them. The True Final Boss, Asriel, is listed as having infinite attack power, which should logically mean that he could instantly end the fight. Once again, though, he's implied to be subconsciously holding back because, deep down, he doesn't really want to hurt the player. It is implied that Papyrus is actually much stronger than his fight with you would imply but is holding back because he is simply too nice to hurt you. CHECKing his stats shows that he's actually the third strongest character in the entire game, just below Toriel and Asgore, and like the latter, he can hold back his strength to let you one single HP, leading you to a capture rather than a Game Over. Undyne even remarks that the only reason she won't make him a Royal Guard is that she's afraid he won't want to fight back against an enemy that's trying to hurt him, resulting in him getting "ripped into little smiling shreds". If you start a No Mercy run but end it by sparing Papyrus, you never actually fight him, which changes some of his dialogue during the date/hangout sequence. Checking his box of attacks hints that he can use the same Gaster Blasters used by the most difficult boss in the game. Considering that said most difficult boss is Sans, Papyrus's brother; a character who is noted to actually have extremely weak stats, but is a formidable foe exactly because he does not hold back at all against the player in his boss fight and even cheats by subverting several turn-based RPG conventions during the fight, one has got to wonder what Papyrus, who has much better stats, would look like if sufficiently angered...

Willfully Weak / int_5b28dc78	comment	In Hoshin Engi, it seems clear to most people that while Taikobo is very intelligent, he isn't very strong. After all, he rarely fights directly and when he does, he has to resort to deception and tricks to win. And at the beginning of the Chokomei arc, he announces that he has temporarily lost his powers after using too much energy in the previous fight. Come the fight against Chokomei, it turns out that he has been holding back the whole arc because Sennin don't lose their powers due to exhaustion. Tenka doesn't think it would change much considering how weak Taikobo is, but the more discerning Yozen point out that Taikobo is much stronger than he seems, and has just been acting weak on purpose from the beginning so that the other characters could grow stronger and gain more experience fighting (and because he is lazy). In fact, Genshi Tenson came because he himself didn't know his disciple's actual level and wanted to see him fighting seriously.

They are called out by Darth Zash if their alignment leans toward the Light Side when she states that while the character is powerful, they have noticeably held back on expanding their power. Since the Dark Side is fueled by negative emotions, an LS Sith Inquisitor is implied to rely on seriously Heroic Willpower to avoid Dark Side corruption, tapping into it only just enough to use their powers. Later, an LS Inquisitor has the option to redeem the Force Ghosts they've collected at the end of their class story, giving up their near-immortality in order to give the ghosts peace. Basically, an LS Inquisitor survives by choosing to rely on their shrewdness and rationality, and moments of compassion when allowed, over raw power. Gameplayand Story Segregation kicks in though in that this doesn't prevent the character from succeeding in any of the same things a traditional DS Inquisitor will do.

It's been stated in supplemental materials that he has the potential to become much more powerful than his brother Mario, but lacks the self-confidence and control to come anywhere close to realizing it. It is also seen in-series with his jumping ability, which is usually shown as just higher than Mario's, but he can jump MUCH higher if the situation calls for it.

Win that fight, and he shows amusement before dusting himself off and fighting you again... with all special moves on. In the process, he sets the precedent for the SNK Boss lineage after him. Krizalid in '99 is a similar case, to the point that he could be considered his saga's answer to Rugal. The worst he can throw at you in the first round is a 2-hit fireball and a divekick. After that, however, he removes his overcoat, "Dear Falling Angel" starts revving up, and Krizalid unleashes the full extent of his power with zeal. Word of God actually apologized for how unforgiving the battle could be, stating they went a little overboard.

Willfully Weak / int_8df5521b	comment	Superman: Superman is always doing this because he's so powerful, the rest of the world may as well be made of cardboard, and the slightest lapse in control on his part could kill someone. When Supergirl arrived on Earth -in the post-Crisis universe-, it was thought she was actually more powerful than Superman because he had been holding back so long it seemed that even he forgets what he can do when he lets go (it seems she does still have the edge in flight speed, whereas he has an edge in strength and toughness) His son and successor Jon Kent has this way worse, he's terrified of accidentally hurting a Muggle with his super-strength, to the point that he gets Nightwing to train him in martial arts so he can learn how to disarm people with minimum force rather than just yanking the gun out of their hand like his dad would; and dodges blows that couldn't possibly hurt him so people don't accidentally break their knuckles on him. This actually works to his detriment because he subconsciously holds back even against powerful supervillains who could take his full strength. Mister Mxyzptlk has way more power than he can safely use — modifying the universe too much would damage its structural underpinnings. Very, very bad things happened in Emperor Joker, a storyline where he accidentally gave 99% of his power to the Joker. Also, the Post-Crisis explanation for his weakness of going back to the Fifth Dimension after being tricked into saying his name backwards was that he imposed it himself to ensure Superman had a fair chance at besting him.

Willfully Weak / int_90f18253	comment	In Battletech, Clan operational doctrine is based around this trope. The Clans as a society despise waste and try to avoid overkill if at all possible. As a result, all inter-Clan warfare is performed with both sides openly declaring their full strength to the opposing side, and both sides 'bid' their troops down to a level considered acceptable to settle the matter (making sure as many of their warriors get the chance to gain honour from battle versus making sure no strength is wasted by either side). Once both sides have bid down their available forces, the battle is then fought as a series of duels until one side admits defeat and is allowed to withdraw, with the understanding that if one side breaks the rules and stops holding back, not only will the other stop holding back but practically every Clan with a stake in the matter will, too. The result will, inevitably, be wasteful. After three hundred years of this kind of thinking, the idea that anyone wouldn't fight in this way was alien to many of the Clans and they ended up with severe culture shock when taking on the Inner Sphere.

After this briefly turns them against him, he sticks to only using his power of foresight for the rest of the series.

It's set in the Warhammer world, in the titular city that was wiped out by a meteor made of valuable but dangerous wyrdstone; the various factions (Empire Mercenaries, Sisters of Sigmar, Witch Hunters, Skaven, Chaos Cultists and Undead) are all deploying very small warbands using cloak and dagger tactics to collect the stuff without damaging the city or drawing too much attention from the outside world. Your average Blood Bowl team has access to heavier firepower than a Mordheim warband, but that's the point. This means that a regular old Chaos Bloodletter, Ogre, or Vampire which would merely be an elite (but still very much killable) troop choice in Warhammer is effectively a mini-boss fight here.

Willfully Weak / int_960062b7	comment	My Hero Academia: Deku holds back not for the sake of his opponents or his surroundings, but because his own body can't handle the full power of One For All, even after training to acclimate to it. His first major power-up was to go from unleashing bone-shattering Megaton Punches as his default attack, to using a small fraction of One For All spread across his entire body to give himself enhanced speed and power without destroying himself, and part of his training is to be able to withstand more and more of its power. As his journey to becoming a superhero continues, he gains further mastery over One For All, achieving perfect control, but only after suffering major tissue damage to his right arm and receiving custom-made equipment to cushion the blowback. Then, he has to develop another facet of mastery to harness the additional Quirks of One For All's past wielders, which only happens when he earns the support of their lingering spirits. Deconstructed with Shoto Todoroki, whose body can generate ice from the right side and fire from the left, but he refuses to use his left side in a fight. He does it as a way to honor his mother and reject his father, but doing so is detrimental to him as both sides are supposed to balance each other out and overusing either side can damage his own body. Izuku makes him see that the flames he possesses are Shoto's power, not his dad's, which prompts him to finally utilize his flame side without hesitation and modify his hero costume to regulate and mitigate the toll of overusing both fire or ice. Inverted with Shigaraki Tomura, aka Tenko Shimura. He developed a Quirk known as Decay, and anything he touched with all five fingers would crumble into dust and gore. He had no control over this Quirk at first, and killed his dog, sister, mom, and dad's parents by accident. Then, out of hatred for his horribly abusive dad, he deliberately killed him. All For One found the wayward child and molded Tomura into a monster with a copy of his own Quirk and had Doc Garaki amplify his Decay into a rippling touch of instant desolation. Tomura only held back his Quirk when he hadn't developed a clear understanding of what drove him to have such searing hatred of current society. When he realized he could become a force of destruction as a counterbalance to a hero-dominated world, that's when he stopped acting out like a Psychopathic Manchild and graduated into a fully-realized Diabolical Mastermind to succeed All For One.

Depending on which PokÃ©dex entry you believe, either it needs the belt so that it can control its movements, or it would be unstoppable without it. Gym Leaders in general are this as well. As their purpose is to test the skills of trainers, they purposely tailor their teams to a certain strength based on how many badges the challenger has. In some games, you can challenge them to rematches during the post-game and they will have Championship-level teams to match. In PokÃ©mon Sword and Shield, Piers, the Dark-Type Gym Leader from Spikemuth, battles in a Gym that lacks a Power Spot. As such, PokÃ©mon cannot Dynamax in his Gym, and he instead uses a team of PokÃ©mon with a wide and varied array of tactical advantages to compensate. Even when he participates in the Championship Finals at the Galar PokÃ©mon League, he refuses to use Dynamax as a point of pride, and he and his PokÃ©mon are still skilled enough in battle to hold on to his spot as the region's second-best Gym Leader. Arceus is implied to be this when it battles against humans. This won't mean you get an easy battle though, especially in PokÃ©mon Legends: Arceus, where it is additionally revealed that the Arceus that players are able to capture throughout the games are merely avatars that contain a mere fraction of the real one's true power. When you meet her, Nemona is already a Champion-ranked trainer, meaning she's already raised a team of powerful PokÃ©mon, defeated all of the Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and the official Champion, Ms. Geeta (with Geeta even stating that Nemona is probably the actual strongest trainer in the region). However, the game begins with her deciding to train up an entirely new team from scratch for the sole purpose being able to follow you on your journey and serve as a rival, even deliberately picking the starter that's weak to yours, presumably just for the extra challenge. In fact, it's heavily implied that Nemona has always held back in fights, even against Geeta, and her investment in the player's growth is in good part because she sees you as someone who can finally give her a worthwhile challenge. In the same game, Bug-type Gym Trainer Katy is the league's designated Warm-Up Boss who is specifically told by Top Champion Geeta to go easy on trainers. When you rematch her, she reveals that she's not entirely happy about this arrangement and is pretty excited at a chance to not hold back.

A formal system of dueling and battling that everyone in Gensokyo must abide by, it deliberately levels the playing field, giving the weaker fighters a better chance of success and preventing the more powerful ones from simply pressing the "I win" button, as well as ensuring all fights end in a Non-Lethal K.O.. According to Word of God, Alice Margatroid always holds back in her fights because she doesn't know what she would do if she ever lost while at full power. A big clue to this is that she's always carrying a grimoire, which is always bound up; she fights with her dolls instead. (In other words, she puts on a complex puppet show combined with carefully finessed magic to make it seem the dolls are casting all her spells.) The last time she opened the thing, she was an Ex-Boss (assuming PC-98 Alice is indeed the same character as Alice Margatroid). Since then, it's always been seen closed, and she's a 3rd-to-4th-stage boss instead. Eirin Yagokoro is said to be far stronger than Kaguya Houraisan, but holds back her power out of respect, not wanting to shame Kaguya by having a subordinate more powerful than her. This became much more significant after ZUN stated in Symposium of Post-Mysticism that Eirin is one of the stupendously powerful gods of the moon. Hong Meiling's win quote against Sakuya in Hisoutensoku has her bluntly stating that she was always going easy all the time and that she will only fight seriously if it is an official duel she is involved in. Both Suika Ibuki and Yuugi Hoshiguma intentionally only use a small amount of their immense strength when battling. This is both because they're Boisterous Bruisers that are far more interested in fighting a Worthy Opponent than in actually winning, and also because they are powerful enough to tear apart mountains with their bare hands. Yukari Yakumo is a heavy candidate for the most powerful denizen of Gensokyo, being stated to have enough power to easily destroy the setting, yet manages to put up challenging yet doable fights in the games. The fact that she usually prefers to manipulate people into doing what she wants and that she's also really lazy probably influences how much power she uses during fights, too. Tenshi Hinanawi, a celestial, was defeated by almost every character in Scarlet Weather Rhapsody in their respective scenarios, but in those scenarios, she was holding back her real power in her battles on purpose, because due to being a celestial, she wasn't supposed to fight with people from the lower world, like the people and Youkai in Gensokyo, and even then, she was just bored, so she let them win. Cue Tenshi's scenario, where she wasn't holding back her real power, and she proved it by defeating each opponent she faced, including Reimu. In Ten Desires, Yuyuko Saigyouji, the final boss in Perfect Cherry Blossom is the first boss in this game, and she isn't trying to fight seriously. This time her purpose was helping the heroines, even if she gives a little spellcard practice before giving hints to follow the clues behind the incident. Before the spellcard system in the Windows games, Rikako Asakura from PC-98 exclusive Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream was this. According to the victory quotes of other characters, she's magically talented and could probably wipe the floor with whoever she wanted... but she'd rather do science than magic, and shuns magic entirely. This gets her branded a heretic, and confuses the hell out of the scientists who came to Gensokyo to study magic.

He seems to move just fast enough to get through a situation and show off, but as the many games and cutscenes show, he is much faster than he lets on. Additionally, in the racing games, it's been stated that he's fast enough on his feet to run circles around the other racers but chooses to use a race car instead for the sake of a fair contest... and because they're cool.

When Jean Grey suppressed Banner at his request in the fight against Onslaught, Hulk became the only hero who does any damage to the Physical God and outright destroys his physical forms. To put it in perspective Onslaught was first introduced as having issued a complete Curb-Stomp Battle to The Juggernaut off-screen.

After surviving his hunting dogs (read: werewolves) and your fellow competitors in the hunt, you'll face Hircine himself. Because a Daedric Prince at full power would easily crush any mortal, he gives you the choice of one of his three weaker "aspects" to fight to give you a sporting chance. (Hircine believes that it's not a true hunt unless the Hunted has the chance to become the Hunter.)

Willfully Weak / int_b9b796cf	comment	Rider, from Fate/stay night, has an ability called Monstrous Strength, which would allow her to increase her STR parameter by a whole rank for a period of time — which is no small advantage. She never uses it, however, because using it long enough would revert Medusa into the monstrous Gorgon. Likewise, she always had herself blindfolded, which prevents her ability Mystic Eyes to run amok (if not blindfold, a pair of glasses). What does it do? Petrify anything that comes into contact with her eyes, since she is Medusa. She has another case of holding back and making herself look like a weak Servant: she just dislikes using full power when her master is Shinji. On the other hand, when her Master is the real one (Sakura), it's a different story: Still no Monstrous Strength, but removing blindfold becomes a viable option.

She isn't so much weakened as she is unable to use some of her usual moves, which causes minute hesitation in her fights. Her final opponent, a Lucario, notices and after some discussion uses a precedent to allow Yang to fight with her weapons, on the grounds that it wouldn't be fair otherwise. Even with her handicap, she takes second place overall and only ends up losing first due to a ring-out.

When Ryuma admits he wanted to make such a good battle last longer, Zoro replies that he can take everything that the samurai zombie can throw at him. Buggy the Clown, in canon One Piece, really is as weak as he appears due to sheer laziness. In This Bites, however, his apparent weakness is due to him having seen the insanity of the New World firsthand and deciding to get the hell out of dodge. He spent over 20 years pretending to be a low-level pirate instead of the Roger pirate that he was, hoping he'd never have to contend with the dangers being a high-tier pirate came with. When, despite all his efforts, his past as a Roger pirate is revealed anyway at Marineford, Buggy figures that there's no point in holding back anymore.

Willfully Weak / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has Thor and Loki hold back their strength as a matter of course. Harry, once he develops his (potentially immense, practically still working on it) Psychic Powers, particularly after a spectacular episode of Power Incontinence shows him how dangerous they actually are. Consequently, despite being coaxed out of some of this attitude by his teacher, Betsy Braddock, he tends to hold them back and Fights Like a Normal, opting for Full-Contact Magic instead. The problems with this are aptly demonstrated in chapter 70 when Daken uses his Healing Factor to shrug off Harry's best attacks, get in close, and temporarily kill. After he is finally pushed too far in chapter 74, he snaps, gives a short "No More Holding Back" Speech, and stops holding back with his powers. The result is a lot of curbstomping, including of Daken in their rematch, and a worrying resemblance to Magneto. The Red Son later demonstrates what someone with powers like his is really capable of by single-handedly reshaping the global balance of power and geopolitics in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (approximately, as Frigga puts it, half a continent), despite the attempts of the likes of Charles Xavier to undo what he's been doing, in the space of fewer than two weeks. This, along with the repeated emphasis that he holds back each and every moment of each and every day, just in case, suggests some scary, scary things. Chapter 75 has Doctor Strange inform Jean Grey that she's actually far more powerful than she ever realised - in terms of raw power, she's actually the strongest psychic in history by quite some margin. After that, she promptly used Cerebro to astrally project herself into Asgard and break Gravemoss' sleeping beauty style enchantment on Thor before immediately getting involved in the big fight and telekinetically crushing tens of thousands of demons like juice cartons. And after that, she still usually holds back... and later proves capable of ripping a hole through space and time to where Harry is on pure instinct. Carol remarks this is another mark on the list of 'things that make you [Jean] a terrifying super badass', and a stunned Sir Fix, the Summer Knight, states that kind of spontaneous point-to-point portal generation is the sort of thing he'd expect from Mab or Titania — both of whom are, minimally, as strong as Thor and Loki. And she wasn't even done after that — she ended up containing Harry and her equally powerful twin sister, Maddie.

However, the game begins with her deciding to train up an entirely new team from scratch for the sole purpose being able to follow you on your journey and serve as a rival, even deliberately picking the starter that's weak to yours, presumably just for the extra challenge. In fact, it's heavily implied that Nemona has always held back in fights, even against Geeta, and her investment in the player's growth is in good part because she sees you as someone who can finally give her a worthwhile challenge. In the same game, Bug-type Gym Trainer Katy is the league's designated Warm-Up Boss who is specifically told by Top Champion Geeta to go easy on trainers. When you rematch her, she reveals that she's not entirely happy about this arrangement and is pretty excited at a chance to not hold back.

Easy enough to not notice, but in the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Yugi's duel with Rebecca Hawkins was one of the few duels where he didn't transform into Yami Yugi. The idea was that Rebecca wasn't a villain trying some sort of underhanded tactic, but merely an opponent who accused Yugi's grandpa of stealing from her Grandpa. This was also part of the backstory behind the monster card Gearfried the Iron Knight, as told by Jounouchi. He was once a mighty swordsman whose power was so great that he could level entire cities simply by swinging his sword. In order to protect those around him, he donned a suit of iron armor that would limit his power. The ancient Egyptian priest Mahad locks away a portion of his strength, for fear of the damage it could cause. When he seals himself and the tomb robber Bakura in a pyramid away from innocent bystanders, he taps back into this hidden strength to strengthen his Illusion Magician. In a season two episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Shou Marufuji/Syrus Truesdale removes Power Bond (a spell card that doubles a Machine-type Fusion Monster's ATK, then cuts the user's LP by that monster's original ATK), a card given to him by his brother) from his deck to prove he can still win without it. He does. In one episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Yuri elects not to use his regular deck against Asuka, instead choosing to use a deck he's never used before, just to show what a genius he is. Played with near the end of the duel, where it reveals that he not only does know the deck well, but he changed the deck up and improved it. He was just pretending to be weak to troll Asuka and calls her an idiot for believing him.

Willfully Weak / int_dedab746	comment	Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic: Aladdin, being a Magi, has the ability to use the Rukh from his surroundings powering his magic. For comparison, normal people can only use their own, meaning that Aladin's attacks are way more powerful, if even only by the merit that he can use way more energy for them than every normal mage. In the Academy arc, he needs to pass as a normal student, and accomplishes this by using a Power Limiter in form of a crystal that keeps him from using the energy of his surroundings, effectively meaning he's just as strong as everyone else. At first, this clearly shows as before that his magic was nearly solely dependent on the abnormal levels of power he could put into it, meaning the first few times he doesn't have this... tend to produce very weak spells. In the end, though he's, in spite of the crystals, one of the most powerful students in the academy.

Considering how much she doesn't mind doing (transforming her teammates, teleporting enemies, using Hammerspace to sneak her boss past security, the list goes on and on), one can only imagine what powers she doesn't want to use.

This ability and him holding back was often believed to be just Word of God until the story Mocking Diabolik, where Ginko, using a particular situation where the limits of what he could lawfully do were stretched thin, completely and utterly humiliated and mocked the King of Terror, who couldn't even start to guess what had happened without spying on Ginko. Also, Diabolik and Eva have a glaring weakness in that they don't use accomplices, unless in particular and extreme circumstances, and they have to work around Ginko's perennial numerical advantage.

White spells are less powerful than black spells, and the line is clearer with earth magic than ley line magic. However, circumstances keep forcing her to use black magic and demon curses. Subverted later in Black Magic Sanction where it is shown white magic can be as strong as black magic but requires greater skill to do so. Rachel isn't much for studying though and thus chooses to use black and demon magic as a shortcut when she needs power. This is beginning to have some rather negative long term implications.

In-game, his vitality and stun are typically lower than any of his opponents for reasons of balance (to see when he is NOT balanced like this, his original playable appearance in Super Street Fighter II Turbo is such). Also, specific to his Street Fighter III appearances, he has no EX attacks (meaning his only way to use meter is to use a Super Art), although this restriction doesn't extend to IV or V.

Several opponents try to get him to revert to being the Battousai and unleash his full power, but he is very resistant to this. The closest we see to his pull power is in the fight with Shishio. Seijuro Hiko's cloak is heavily weighted to restrict his movements, and brightly colored to alert others to his approach, so that his opponents will have something resembling a fighting chance, since even with it on he is capable of defeating a 30' giant, who had also removed his own heavy armor.

Willfully Weak / int_ef661e97	comment	Street Fighter: Oro from Street Fighter III is stronger than the rest of the cast, possibly combined. He keeps one of his arms in a sling in order to even the odds. Series Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy Akuma/Gouki challenged him once with neither holding back their power, and they were equally strong. Akuma, both in and out of gameplay. Out of game, he never uses the full extent of his power because he seeks a challenger worthy of his skill so he wants to match mettle with the best without destroying them at the full depth of the Satsui no Hadou. In-game, his vitality and stun are typically lower than any of his opponents for reasons of balance (to see when he is NOT balanced like this, his original playable appearance in Super Street Fighter II Turbo is such). Also, specific to his Street Fighter III appearances, he has no EX attacks (meaning his only way to use meter is to use a Super Art), although this restriction doesn't extend to IV or V. Cody in Street Fighter Alpha 3 and Super Street Fighter IV is implied to be this, as his taunt in Alpha 3 shows he can take off his handcuffs whenever he wants, but he keeps them on presumably because it's more fun to fight with restrictions. Seth, much like the Rugal example below, plays nice in the first round but will turn up the heat once he's been smacked around. Teleport Spam and priority abuse coupled with nasty damage makes him a SNK Boss through and through. In Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Oni (Akuma fully taken over by the Satsui no Hadou, reaching a new level of power in the process) insinuates in a win quote that Cody would be a match for him if only he took off the handcuffs (the same ones that Cody wears by choice and is shown to be able to easily slip out of in his taunt) and fought seriously. Conversely, Cody's win quote against Oni has him remarking that he knew Oni was no big deal.

As powerful and unstoppable as he is during the series, he's holding back by using the Master Gundam: he has another Gundam, the King of Hearts, which far surpasses both Master Gundam and God Gundam. He never uses it, even though with it he'd probably truly be invincible. This fits with one of his philosophies: he believes that relying on a powerful weapon will weaken a fighter's abilities, so by using the weaker Master Gundam he keeps his skills sharp. There is also the fact that it might not sit right with him that he would be using a Shuffle Alliance Gundam to carry out the atrocities he has done.

Willfully Weak / int_f8956ef3	comment	In YuYu Hakusho: The last episode focusing on Kurama in the series has him deal with this consideration while balancing his three personas. Ultimately, he refuses to transform into Yoko Kurama, a form which would have allowed him to easily win against his opponent and be successful in the tournament because he would rather be happy than powerful. Raizen is dying when he's introduced, simply because he hasn't eaten any human flesh in hundreds, if not thousands of years because of the promise he made to his lover. Until his death, he's still the strongest character in the series in that state. Bui wears extremely heavy armor throughout the Dark Tournament to seal his powerful battle aura. He's still strong enough to literally pulverize his opponent the first time he is seen fighting. He only takes off the armor when fighting Hiei, and proves to be strong enough that Hiei has to unseal his own trump card, the Dragon of the Darkness Flame, in response. Sensui's original personality is so strong that he can't use his full power in the human world without destroying it, the world's "physics cannot hold him". He avoids doing so despite wanting to cause The End of the World as We Know It because he only wants to wipe out humanity, not destroy the world. Or so he claims.

While they could still use powers up to five levels above their temporary strength, many of their augmentations (gear) would potentially be disabled, putting them on a more or less equal footing with the rest of the team.

It allows him to stay in his wolf form indefinitely, rather than being limited by the usual laguz transformation gauge that, upon depletion, forces a laguz unit back to their essentially powerless humanoid form until the gauge fills again. But there's a cost: Volug takes penalties to all of his stats (except for HP) when halfshifted. After Part I of the game, the skill can be removed and Volug's stats will return to normal, but he'll have to contend with the gauge like other laguz units.

Willfully Weak / int_fa738078	comment	Sailor Moon: Sailor Saturn. If she uses her most powerful, canonically nameless attack, she will die. And destroy the world. In the anime, the Inner Senshi tend to hold back to avoid collateral damage, and only cut loose twice: at the end of the first season, where there's nothing to damage and even after being mortally wounded make short work of Beryl's five strongest youma, and in the battle on the asteroid during the first movie, at which point they waste an army of enemies. In her solo series Sailor Venus often engages normal criminals with no superpowers - at one point cleaning up the entire Minato Ward of criminal activity (she even got the panty thieves) - without causing a single injury beyond knockouts. Her control is so precise that when an idiot lifted her skirt and she kicked him in the face by reflex she caused him absolutely no harm beyond a pained jaw.

Willfully Weak / int_fe83990a	comment	Saint Seiya: Gold Saint Virgo Shaka deliberately keeps his eyes closed when he battles his foes — his constant meditation means that he devotes only a fraction of his attention to the outside world. People who know him, even fellow Gold Saints, are very afraid of him opening his eyes, because that means he has stopped meditating and is now fully focused on the enemy... And has the power to easily take on any three Gold Saints. Another Saint Seiya example would be Bronze Saint Andromeda Shun; he literally refuses to wound others or take a life, even when the circumstances call for it, and gets called out on it several times by his foes. There is a theory that he actually mastered the seventh sense (though the fact is never openly stated, it is still highly believable) way before anyone else but always refused to use this tremendous power because of the havoc it could wreak. The first to actually see this is his master to whom Shun said he wanted to show his true power, and his Silver Cloth (remember, Shun is supposed to be a mere Bronze Saint) gets blown to ashes by an imperfect blow; the second one to see it is Pisces Aphrodite once he destroyed Shun's Cloth and chains, forcing him to unleash the Nebula Stream and Storm. Cue the Oh, Crap! look on his face when he realizes he sort of just removed Shun's wards. His advanced mastery of Cosmo is further supported by the fact that (especially in the manga), at the drop of a hat, he could muster the willpower to land a hit on the Gemini Gold Saint even dimensions, once it was established breaking Gemini's spell would help save Hyoga who was sent in Another Dimension. He then repeats the feat when giving Hyoga, currently a Human Popsicle freshly released from an ice coffin, Intimate Healing, with a Cosmo burning probably strong enough to rival with Aquarius Camus in the first place to revert the freezing. Willfully Weak most of the time, and mostly when it comes to fighting, all right. A smaller example happened during the Black Saints mini-arc, where he held back even his chains due to the Big Bad being his brother and being caught by his counterpart while he was trying to save a poisoned Seiya from falling down a cliff. Then Seiya throws himself down and Black Andromeda mocks both of them... Before dying in a very messy way. Most of the Gold Saints when faced at the Twelve Temples are an example for reasons different for all Saints: Aries Mu either didn't fight them (manga) or gave them a couple slaps merely to prove they needed to have their cloths repaired; Taurus Aldebaran had doubts on the Pope, and never pressed his advantage when fighting Seiya before conceding the battle; Gemini Saga limited himself to illusions and dimensional tricks to hide the fact he was actually the Pope before being forced to stand down by his other personality; Cancer Death Mask didn't take Shiryuu seriously for a single moment until the latter actually accessed to the strength granted by his Seventh Sense, thus failing to block or dodge the decisive blow; Leo Aiolia had got brainwashed, and decided to torture Seiya to death instead of killing him fast; Virgo Shaka, as explained above, ALWAYS meditates, and it takes Ikki's continuously surviving his attacks to get him to open his eyes and get serious; Scorpio Milo didn't want to kill the Bronze Saints, and held back to try and force them to surrender; Capricorn Shura actually did NOT hold back, failing to stop Seiya, Hyouga and Shun only because Shiryuu thwarted his strategy to line them where he needed them to kill all four with a single strike, and then curbstomped Shiryuu, who had to resort to Heroic Sacrifice to kill him; Aquarius Camus was interested only in testing Hyouga's power, and, after letting Seiya and Shun pass, never pressed his initial advantage (and was quite happy to find that Hyouga had managed to become even more powerful than himself); Pisces Aphrodite, in the end, was just too confident in his roses, resulting in him letting Seiya go in a path filled with poisonous roses (to be fair, only Marin's arrival saved Seiya from death), and trying to simply disarm Shun so he'd stop attacking and die due being poisoned at the start of the battle instead of killing him outright, with the results illustrated above.
