• Jack Rakan of Mahou Sensei Negima! has absolutely no sense of restraint. Just look. And this is him holding back.
  • Evangeline freeze lava.

Wouldn't Sasuke's Kirin be a subversion since Itachi survived it? It didn't damage Susano'o nor the Yata Mirror, since he had both of them to fight against Orochimaru.

• The main character of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha follows the philosophy of doing everything with "Maximum Power! (Total Annihilation!)". Exhausted Dark Magical Girl who had been rendered defenseless with binds? Bring out Starlight Breaker! Someone trying to run away and is in the middle of a teleport spell? Let's try out the shiny new Wave-Motion Gun! A Smug Snake support mage who has little to no direct combat experience? Five Divine Busters combined into a huge beam that can blast through an entire Cool Ship should do the trick!

It's not overkill if it's what it takes to do the job! Both Fate and Vita are just as powerful as Nanoha, and in each case Nanoha had previously lost to them. Quattro is a borderline case, but she was on the other side of the ship (with an anti-magic field active), and Nanoha needed to defeat her now and here (since Quattro herself had noted that there's no way Nanoha could have gotten to her in time through conventional means).
