This is especially a risk if a balance between the awesomeness of the powers and the them is not maintained; if the drawbacks are outweighed by the benefits, then the character just looks whiny. On the other hand, it can make for some great if the character is saddled with something that is genuinely difficult to live with, but later figures out a way to benefit from it. There are also some cases where the drawback is just a straight-up, or negated by a bit of.

This ultimately made him stronger than before.

However, in her defense, Code Eve wasn't aware of the that Barodius had to which let him become strong enough to break free. If it weren't for that, it'd probably have been an fate. •: • Tousen claims that Komamura's Zanpakutou has a huge weakness because damaging the Zanpakutou automatically damages Komamura. Later on, Mayuri Kurotsuchi confirms that it's true that this is the of Komamura's Bankai, but it also gives Komamura an advantage over other Bankai-users: his Zanpakutou can be fully restored EVEN IF it breaks while in Bankai. It's just a matter of his own wounds healing, and his Bankai will heal with them.

For any other Zanpakutou, damage taken while in Bankai is permanent—and reduces the wielder's raw power permanently as well. • The movie features the Togabito Kokuto, who is like any other Togabito chained to hell. Como Se Dice 10th Edition Answer Key. However, despite wanting to get free from his chains, Kokuto uses his chains as weapons, offensively and especially defensively. And since the chains are invisible for the most time, his usage of the chains is unpredictable. • In: • Suzaku is in the form of the Geass command 'live', which subverts his mindset by forcing him to survive by any means necessary whenever his life is actually in danger. This is flipped in Turn 22, when Suzaku has decided to use the command to make himself a better fighter using its effects in his favor.

• Nunnally too. While she's blind, that also serves as against Lelouch's Geass which requires eye contact (her eyes are permanently closed). When Charles' Geass loses effect on her in the last episode and she regains vision, Lelouch instantly Geasses her into giving up the FLEIJA controls.

• The heroines of are with various forms of, and many normal humans wax poetically on their tragic fate of being 'puppets.' This is hard to rationalize because they're exactly like normal humans, except they're immune to radiation, and many of them have additional powers like super-strength. They work for the military organization that created them, but they're treated with the same respect as normal human employees and they get to go on heroic rescue missions. Where's the downside?

• Allen Walker from was born with a deformed left arm that made his parents abandon him. After his adopted father died, Allen unknowingly had the turn him into an, who then cut Allen's left eye and cursed him. Allen's arm can turn into an incredible weapon for destroying Akuma, and his left eye can see the soul bound to them, making him the only person on the planet who can tell which 'people' in a crowd are Akuma. A few other Exorcists are Cursed With Awesome too, particularly Krory (who was bitten by a plant and started drinking the blood of what he thought were humans at first) and Miranda (a perpetual loser who can now stop time). Miranda started as full-fledged until she was able to control it, though.

• Remember, though, that when Lavi briefly saw an Akuma the way Allen always does, he declared it to be horrific and said he'd rather be than have to deal with that. And when Allen sees the soul of a level 4 Akuma has become, he immediately vomits in disgust. • On the other hand, something else that Allen can see that no other exorcist can is the souls bound to the Akuma being released when the Akuma is destroyed. To everyone else, the Akuma can easily be seen as simply monsters that need to be destroyed, but Allen gets a truer idea of what's really at stake. • Most of the Contractors in are or Cursed With Awesome, largely depending on.

Louis, on the other hand, has gravity powers but every time he uses them. • And then there's Wei.

His power is to, and his remuneration is to cut himself, which he'd have to do anyway to use his powers. He might as well not have to pay a price, like the unabashedly Cursed With Awesome protagonist.

• In, Suzune Hiiragi absolutely hates her feral Sigil because it gives her. The Sigil gives her the senses of a feral, meaning that she is faster than normal; stronger than she ever was before and managed to use a narwhal-like horn to sense an opponent from afar, despite having been blinded earlier.

Oh, it also healed her heart condition, leaving her completely healthy and not in need of an expensive surgery. • In, Jun turns into a female Devilman, which grants her some badass superpowers. Unfortunately, due to the high tendency for Devilman to go, her powers have her nearly constantly suspected of going evil to the point even her allies are ready to turn on her at a moments notice, and even though she's one of the very few of her kind able to retain most to all of her humanity and remains one of the most moral characters in the that is the series, even she feels the bestial urges try to overwhelm her from time to time. • In, everyone that is cursed by the animals of the Chinese Zodiac hate transforming into another animal.

Most people would find this very cool, as they get traits from their animal, like agility and strength. In that the curse keeps them from being close to anyone of the opposite sex, aside from those • Also, pity the poor sod who is cursed with the spirit of the. • That's probably the reason the author stopped displaying the 'animal control' power. •: • Al is an animated suit of armor and can't experience many of the simple pleasures that others take for granted, which does suck. Still, he has limitless stamina, far greater strength than he had as a human, and is impervious to pain.

This was even used as a plot point in a chapter of the manga since he was the only person able to brave a blizzard because he couldn't feel cold or run out of energy. We find out later, however, that souls can't be permanently bound to objects, and that Al has a limited amount of time left before he separates from the armor and, having no body to go back to, presumably dies.

• Hohenheim is an immortal human-shaped philosopher's stone. Admittedly, it is an actual curse, since and knowing that the sole reason for that is entirely because a whole country died, that you helped cause it, and that over half a million murdered souls are still in your body keeping you alive would be horrible. But on the flipside, the awesome part comes in because he can completely ignore the laws of alchemy when transmuting and is bullet-proof. •: introduces us to who likes to experiment with the brains of people who are almost dead and can get the craziest results out of them ranging from pure to some great examples of this trope. There is Makaku who is an all kinds of creepy monster that eats brains and steals powerful cyborg bodies to terrorize people with. Which is exactly what he wants since no one ever even noticed his existence. Jasagun is a motorballer who got his brain fixed by Nova after a crash that would normally have been fatal.

He only has a few years to live but in the mean time he can be the unbeatable emperor of motorball since his brain developed some truly God-like fighting skills. And then there is Zapan who got humiliated by Alita so badly he only wanted power so he could kill her. And that is exactly what he got an infinite supply of even though the berserker body would inevitably consume him in the long run.

• In, the arrow through Asumi's head has caused her a lot of grief and pain (both emotional and physical), but is surprisingly useful at times. It's been used to reflect light, open things, and even saved her life once when she fell off the top of the school but was left hanging from the wall by the arrow.

• In, this is immediately noted and capitalized on. In order to access a and have any chance of winning an he's about to throw down for, Issei has to sacrifice his left arm and have a dragon one grafted on in its place. Dragons aren't devils, and he immediately realizes this means he can now hold in his left hand and. After the fails, it's the 'cost' that facilitates him delivering a. • features Miroku, who is cursed by the series' with the Wind Tunnel - essentially a gaping black hole in his hand that sucks in everything in front of it with phenomenal force.

Eventually, we're told, it will rupture and draw himself in without warning, along with any friends or loved ones that might be nearby. But until then, he's willing and able to use it as a superweapon against his nemesis. Also subverted, since Naraku unsurprisingly comes up with a way to neutralize it via 'hell bees' that can seriously poison Miroku if sucked into the Wind Tunnel, preventing it from becoming a, and by the risk Miroku takes when using the Wind Tunnel on foes wielding sharp-edged weapons (or limbs); one episode had the edge of the Wind Tunnel get cut while sucking in a mantis demon, causing it to begin widening faster than it was supposed to. • Subverted beautifully in Kajika, where young Kajika appears to have an awesome curse grants him superhuman speed, strength, and toughness while giving him many special powers. Despite this, he works endlessly hard to break this horrible curse.

Why, you ask? Because it's a downgrade from his normal form, which is even more powerful.

•: Sammy complains of being a magical girl because she has a lame outfit; this despite having reality-bending powers. Misao complains about having to transform into Pixy Misa (granted, it was an evil personality). However, at the end, both learn to enjoy their abilities.

• has Setsuna, a - demon girl with albinism. This made tengu 'Bird Tribe' demons shun her as 'unlucky' since she has.

White wings.. It's hinted that she's never shown anyone her wings, until the Kyoto trip. Which makes a certain amount of sense: if you had a trait that had caused your own family to exile you, you'd try to hide it at all costs, right? • has this as more or less its central premise note The series' name actually translates to ', if that gives you any indication.

Main character Yuzuka Hanami is able to transform into a with the ability to. Her magical girl outfit is a swimsuit. While it does serve a practical purpose - it stops her from getting wet while she's using her powers - Yuzuka finds it and doesn't like transforming. • has a subversion.

In most cases, the HiME really have some awesome powers, but some act like they are curses even before the real downsides come to light. However, once the truth is exposed, it's more of a case of. Or just Cursed With Suck. • has this in the form of Hatou's cellphone arm. She soon finds out she can use it to speak to parallel versions of herself. Plus, it also functions like a regular cellphone.

However, she is the phone's battery and overuse leaves her physically drained. She keeps sugary snacks on hand after she loses two pounds in one day from making too many calls. •: Rokujou Miharu was born with the ultimate ninja technique, the shinrabanshou, which basically gives you control over all the forces of nature plus the ability to learn complex ninjutsu arts in a snap.and he wants nothing to do with it. He doesn't believe in ninjas, he doesn't want to be a ninja, he definitely doesn't want to be the super high poobah of all ninjadom, and he wishes the whole deal would just go away and leave him alone. Which causes his mentor to do a lot of facepalming, since the only apparent drawbacks of being the shinrabanshou holder are that (1) every clan wants to recruit you and (2) everyone, but everyone, has a favor to ask.

• Unless you're watching the anime, in which case it has less and less of an impact on the plot the more of its powers are unlocked. • In, the character is the 'can' part of because he houses a malevolent spirit inside him, the Nine-tailed Fox. Said spirit becomes the major reason for his extreme powers because its huge stock of supplies the to all his strongest attacks (and having the Nine-Tails' chakra flowing through him since birth has also strengthened Naruto's own natural chakra, boosting his power even when he's not directly drawing from the beast).

Supposedly, the village hates him for it, but most of the named characters don't seem to mind. However, the circumstances did cost him growing up without a family (or many friends), being considered a village pariah and having an organization of dangerous criminals after him by the age 12. • Most of the other aren't as lucky: Gaara was ostracized even more from his village while the thing tried to take over his mind when he slept () and were all killed by Akatsuki. Most of the Jinchuuriki were made to be like superweapons, so how they're viewed varies on the village.

However, the 8-Tailed Ox host, Killer Bee, has it even better than Naruto: he's able to control his beast and use it however he wants (that might have been something he needed to learn how to do), has no apparently risk of it getting out (even if he uses its full power), and his village actually respects him. It helps in Killer Bee's case that the Eight-Tails is considerably more mellow than the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi is constantly threatening to kill Naruto; the Eight-Tails just occasionally insults Killer Bee. So while Naruto might have gotten off a bit easier, a consistent reminder (big example with Gaara's initial personality when being introduced) was that Naruto could've become a much darker person. • Naruto now has control of Kurama (the Kyubi), and later on, he managed to befriend it in the same way Bee did, making him an aloof who doesn't need to be restrained anymore, lending Naruto the fullest extent of his power. • Shinji Ikari from gets to pilot a and hang out with the hottest girls at his school, who also pilot said.

Evangelion being what, it becomes evident what kind of stress comes with fighting monsters without any prior training. That said, that stress is one of his. • A pair of Shinji's classmates certainly think Shinji is Cursed With Awesome. And then one of them is brought into the project himself. Doesn't go well. •: • Every Devil Fruit curses the eater with a total inability to swim or, indeed, function at all in water. At the same time, it gives the eater amazing superhuman powers that far outweigh the downsides.

Except for a. • says that there are lots of Devil Fruits which either grant powers that are totally useless, or carry a negative side effect so harsh that they essentially ruin the user's life. Since there's no way to reverse the effects, and most fruits' powers are unknown until after you eat them (unless you happen to have access to Vegapunk's catalog of Devil Fruits.and if you're not high-ranking World Government agent, you don't), it makes eating a fruit into a huge gamble. How badly do you want to be cursed with awesome? • Another thing to note is that a Devil Fruit doesn't get stronger, the user gets more imaginative, which makes the 'cursed' part eclipsing the 'awesome' part a fault of the user more than anything. Brook is a perfect example, to his knowledge his fruit let him revive from being dead,. Post time skip he's learned to bend the rules on what 'power over the soul' means to the point he can coat his sword in as his deadliest attack.

• Played straight with, who complained when he accidentally got the power of Bara Bara no Mi, making him immune to all sharp blades in a world where there are skilled swordsmen loitering around in every direction. He's completely mastered his powers, but still bemoans them and curses Shanks over it.

It blew his plans to sell the fruit and claim a valuable treasure hidden underwater. • The Gorgon Sisters want their adoring Amazon subjects to believe they are Cursed With Awesome; their story is that they slew some monsters and were cursed with their powers and 'Medusa Eyes' on their backs as punishment. That the Amazons don't know about Devil Fruit and that everyone the Gorgons fight turn to stone probably helps their story a bit.

• From a legal standpoint, having a high bounty on your head by the World Government can also be something of a benefit; while Nami is visibly upset every time her or another of the crew's bounties go up, the others seem to love it, Chopper always upset because his is so low, and Sanji more concerned that his Wanted poster has a terrible picture. In truth, this does have benefits; the whole idea of the bounties is to tempt others into aiding in the capture of criminals who are threats to the Marines, and common folk often have no love for them, preferring to side with their enemies. Even better, threatening someone like Luffy with legal authority isn't going to work - the Marines are already looking for him, and he can show you the Wanted poster to prove it. • Not to mention that bounties usually serve as a symbol of pride for pirates. Higher bounties means you're considered more dangerous.

Exceptions come when people are overestimated, underestimated (like Chopper) or just so powerful that putting a bounty on them would not be practical ( possibly the Yonkou, since we do not know if they even have bounties.) • Saitama, the titular, is,,, and. Cara Instal Ulang Windows 7 Tanpa Cd Driver on this page. He's also become bored and depressed with his life, since all he wants is a good fight and there's nobody that can challenge him. When the Subterraneans emerge, destroying the city and slaughtering most of mankind, Saitama actually feels happy and alive for the first time in years now that he can finally has worthy opponents., and he meets the real Subterraneans, who he effortlessly pulverizes just like all his previous foes. • Ashitaka in gets cursed by a boar demon, which manifests itself in a gradually increasing nasty-looking scar which will eventually kill him, and turn him into a demon.

(He comes pretty close to the deadline). The curse also grants him awesome powers, like super strength, which comes in very handy among all the hostility he gets faced with. • In the Puella Magi tend to consider themselves no longer human when they learn that the reason they can improve their physical abilities with magic is because their soul is inside their and controlling their body remotely. This revelation actually plunges Sayaka into a horrifying downward spiral. Make no mistake, being a Puella Magi can genuinely be considered as being, but this is not the worst part of it, and Kyubey notes that if it weren't for Soul Gems, the girls would not be able to fight as the pain from wounds would be too unbearable.

• As Kyubey points out, it's not a rational response, but it is understandable given that they've basically been turned into. While it's never officially stated that Ranma Saotome has some sort of 'May You Live In Interesting Times' curse on him, it's a fair assumption to make in order to explain his status as a. However, Ranma himself has no complaints about this curse, at least in abstract- it draws strong (if weird) martial arts challengers and beautiful girls to him like flies to honey. He complains when they personally get out of hand, but not about the situation itself.

Many fans consider his to be a case of Cursed With Awesome too, but to Ranma it's more a case of. • It's implied that at least a few Jusenkyo springs can bestow this as well. Pantyhose Taro fell into a spring where a yeti that was riding an ox while carrying a crane and an eel drowned, and consequently transforms into a sort of when he gets wet.

Perhaps because of this curse's mixed up nature, he's later able to assimilate a Drowned Octopus curse for. A character named Rouge fell into a Spring of Drowned Ashura, becoming a demon/goddess with three faces and six arms, a form in which she can fly, breathe fire, and hurl lightning bolts (as long as she has what she needs to keep at bay ). • Played straight in, with Zelgadis Greywords. His great-grandfather, under the influence of a fragment of the world's ultimate, cursed him into becoming a chimera: one-third golem, one-third blow demon, one-third human.

This gives him, superior reserves of magical energy, greatly augmented strength and speed, a much lower requirement for food, and tremendous stamina. However, he also has blue stone skin, rocky protrusions (which look vaguely like scales) all over his body, and weighs more than some boulders. Despite all the awesome powers, though, again. • Even though Zelgadis spends most of the series trying to find a cure to his affliction, this doesn't stop him from taking advantage of his powers every chance he gets. • It doesn't stop everyone else from taking advantage of his powers either. Lina once used him as an anchor, for crying out loud.

• Zelgadis actually admits at one point that he wouldn't mind his 'curse' if Rezo hadn't shown him what he was really like by casting it. Until Rezo transformed him, Zelgadis saw him pretty much the same as everyone else did: as an exceptionally kind, powerful sorcerer who made miracles wherever he went. Rezo's experimenting on Zelgadis showed him that that was all a mask, and that he would do anything, to anybody, to cure his eyes. • Zelgadis also doesn't seem to mind the reaction of people to his appearance. While it's possible his misanthropy is a result of his appearance, he is often times called horrible things from misconceptions based on his appearance and actions, and he seems to find it at least somewhat amusing. Zelgadis: Heartless sorcerer swordsman?!Hmm.

I think I like that. • The 'yaka' in closely resemble vampires minus the need for blood: immortality, super strength and agility, regeneration, ability to resurrect people by turning them, and sometimes other awesome unique powers, with only the vampire-like extreme weakness to direct sunlight (and the 'curse' of immortality) as a drawback. Another character has a unique body that overcomes even that, but he spends all his time angsting over not being a real boy. The ending highlights how unappreciated these abilities are by those who have them.

• Jun in laments about his problem with girls, which explains why he stays away from relationships. When Sakura kisses him, he wakes up - Turns out his shameful secret is that he's got inside him. The split personality realizes how awesome this is, but the 'outer' Jun fails to see this. • plays with this trope. Protagonist Seina Yamada is cursed to be a, with his mere presence causing accidents to harm himself and anyone else in the general area. His curse seems to reach new heights when he gets shanghaied into the Galaxy Police, and attracts a horde of almost as soon as he leaves orbit. But when he's rescued, it's brought to his attention that his curse led to one of the biggest blows against piracy in history — and he becomes determined to take the chance to have his luck serve a purpose for a change.

Of course, the curse also leads to an. • Pretty much anyone who is an on a regular basis, particularly if they have an.

Probably the most outrageous example is Rito Yuuki of, known as the 'God of Falling' for his seemingly supernatural ability to trip and end up with his face in a girl's cleavage or crotch, somehow removing their clothes, or both. • Seemingly, nothing. The resident (who is also a gorgeous woman) tests it and notes that a) the 'curse' appears to be the will of the universe and b) his constant accidental groping has given him an ungodly talent at it, and any girl he used it on would fall for him. Including her. • In, Midora's curse is an insatiable appetite due to his futile attempts to eat away the pain of causing the death of one of the only people he ever loved. His ultimate attack is fueled by this appetite, giving him an. • Ataru Moroboshi of seesaws somewhere between this and in regards his to Lum.

On the one hand, she is a beautiful alien princess who genuinely does love him and sees his better qualities, and a lot of his protestations seem to be rooted in his being a particularly lustful example of the who doesn't seem to realise how lucky he is. On the other hand, Lum does have her legitimate bad points, including, being somewhat ditzy,, and, of course, her ability to generate electricity. Not only does she use this to discipline him when he goes skirt-chasing, but she sometimes loses control of this when trying to cuddle him, giving him a painful shock (particularly early on, when she is the unofficial v.
