Powers [Interesting Trope] Characters growing weaker as they age because of their change in mindset/lifestyle.

- Paul Bunyan from Fate/Grand Order, when she was a kid she could grow as far as you could see and become gigantic, once she becomes a teenager she defaults to an "average" height.

This is implied to be because the change in size is tied to her emotions and she's now insecure about others around her not liking her that much, she now only grows after getting a bunch of likes online.

- Gohan from Dragon Ball, when he was a kid struggling he was a prodigy, strong enough to knock down enemies way older than him and defeat threats not even his dad could.

But as he moved on to an era of peace and dedicated himself to his studies, work and family he continuously slacked off in training and nearly every project he's in he's having to catch back up with a quick training or power up to hold his own in the field, hopefully this stops after his recent movie but who knows.

Jotaro from Jojo's bizarre adventure

Due to him focusing on his career and not using his stand to fight after part 3 of the series, his ability to stop time decreases from a duration of 5 seconds to just 2

Goes back to five by the end of part six but it doesn’t matter due to the affects of Made in Heaven
