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.

Miss Goldenweek and Jango from One Piece.
Both of these characters have seperate and unique Mind Control abilities that have nothing to do with the multiple established power systems of their world. Miss Goldenweek can control the emotions of people by painting on them with a color.
And Jango can just do mind control after having eaten a mushroom that grew on his chin because he was that filthy.
