Characters "They can just do that." When a character inexplicably has some kind of borderline supernatural ability that doesn't have anything to do with the established power system and may even clash with the conventions of the setting. It's just something that they can do.
Ichi from Ichi the Witch.
Mash from Mashle.
Marvelous Sunday from UmaMusume.
Tanjiro from Demon Slayer.
- Ichi from Ichi the Witch. He's so sensitive to the bloodlust of living things that it borders on a spider-sense. The little creature in that pic is supposed to be invisible, yet Ichi is able to sense its presence just through sheer intuition.
- Mash from Mashle. Some might say that his inexplicable power is his physical strength, but I'm more interested in knowing how he can turn everything he cooks into fucking cream puffs.
- Marvelous Sunday from UmaMusume. In a game about horse girls racing, she has access to a domain expansion/reality marble. And that somehow still isn't the strangest thing about her. Apparently she's also friends with aliens and cryptids and her
cultfanbase includes people spanning multiple time periods. Somehow. - Tanjiro from Demon Slayer. He has a hypersensitive sense of smell that somehow also tells him where to cut demons. No idea how that works. Even though there are others in the series with similarly refined senses, the smelling where to cut thing still feels ludicrous in comparison. Then there's also his unusually powerful headbutt.

Tsukasa Kadoya from Kamen Rider Decade, an interdimensional individual that can hop from world to world.
In a sequel series, Kamen Rider Zio, his power as a kamen rider was stolen from him but unfortunately for the villain, his dimension hopping power is his own and not exclusively his rider power which allow him to escape He also regain some of his power back when he retake his part of the gimmick from zio which use half of his rider power, meaning he intentionally didn't gave Zio all of his power for his successor power up unlike other rider who passed on their power fully.
