* ''Media/XsOmnibus'': X's Absolute Harboring allows him to slice ''anything'' into two halves. It takes a second to power up, having a "before-effect" as an absolute prediction as to which path he will take to slice the object or being. The attack cuts down to the atomic level and is hard to dodge due to distraction. However, it has a lengthy cooldown of ''three days.''

* ''Series/KamenRiderOOO'': The eponymous Rider's signature sword, the Medajalibur, only cuts what he wants it to cut. So he could slice through entire buildings, which them reset themselves as if nothing happened, but also destroy the monster of the week in seconds.

The works of her teacher, Meti ten Ryo, implies this power is not a product of the sword itself but rather an EnlightenmentSuperpower built on an understanding of Sword Lore and the art of Cutting.

That it's not about the physical sword is confirmed in the last book, and further, it's shown that the first time doesn't even show its full effects (though angels are considered unstoppable, so one-shotting them is extremely impressive); it can practically cut up an entire landscape.

* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', this is true for almost all swordsmen. For example, Mihawk can do this, partly because he is the best swordsman in the world and also because his sword is absolutely huge. Later arcs show that swordsmen can channel [[SuperToughness Armament Haki]] into their blades, letting them cut through nearly anything. [[spoiler:Zoro demonstrates this by cutting a living mountain in half.]]

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Zanpakutō and other EnergyWeapons can cut almost anything, even mountains and buildings. Their limitless potential is restricted by their wielder's spiritual limitations. Notable weapons include Zaraki and Nimaiya's blades. There is nothing Zaraki's zanpakutō cannot cut,[[note]]This is mostly due to Zaraki's truly enormous Reiatsu and swordsmanship mastery.[[/note]] whereas Nimaiya's blade is considered a failure - its sharpness is so acute it cuts by accident. As a result, no sheath can contain it and it has to be stored in a special gelatinous substance.
