[Interesting Trope] The Power of Friendship Comes At A Great Cost
**Sora (Kingdom Hearts 3 & 4)**
The Power of Waking is intended to awake someone's heart from statis and restore it. Since the states of sleep and death are connected, this power can also bring someone back to life and rewrite reality. Sora abusing it lead to the ENTIRE UNIVERSE kicking him out and unless outside help is involved, he cannot return.
**Ethan Winters (Resident Evil 7 & 8)**
More like the Power of Family. In Resident Evil 8, it was revealed that Ethan Winters actually died and became a zombie in Resident Evil 7. The reason why he did not lose his mind to the Mold hive mind is because he was too focused on rescuing his wife and protecting their daughter. To stop Mother Miranda's evil plans, he destroyed the mold, but this also caused his death.
**Touma Kamiyama (Kamen Rider Saber)**
Whoever becomes the guardian of Wonder World and the wielder of its powers will disappear from the real world, and Touma/Kamen Rider Saber was, unfortunately, not only chosen by Luna, a girl who is the manifestation of the Wonder World, but also friends with her. And if I remember correctly, Tassel said that the more Touma uses this power, the more he become no longer part of the real world.
To hit the last nail in the coffin. When Storious, the main villain, successfully destroyed the world, Kamen Rider Saber awakened in the void. In there, he listened to every child and adult talk about their favorite stories. Through absorbing the hopes, dreams, and inspirations created by fairy tales, Kamen Rider Saber was able to undo the end of the world.
**Shouma Stomach (Kamen Rider Gavv)**
Actually, the trope applies to all of Shouma's powers, as it depends on his mental and emotional health which most often involves his relationship with the people around him. The Caking Form, however, is the best example of the case.
The Caking Form grants Shouma/Kamen Rider Gavv a massive increase in both kicking and punching power. In addition, it also grants him the power to create his own minions called "Whipped Soldiers". If that is not enough, there are two finishing moves: (1) a slippery slide that allows Gavv to kick you at the speed of a massive truck; (2) A whip cream annihilating laser beam from his sword. The problem with this form is that drains a lot of energy out of Shouma.
Overwhelmed by his twin sister and brother, Siita and Jeebh Stomach, who are two of the main villains, Shouma continued to fight and reminded himself that he made a promise to Sachika to return home safe and sound. Because of that promise, he was able to access this form.
