- "It burns!!! I-I got burned!! Even my bones feel hot! They're broken!! Iron Body isn't working at all!! What's with that kick?! Dammit!!"
- ― Jabra (One Piece) after taking a hit from Sanji's Diable Jambe.
- "There is no such thing as true invulnerability. Struck with enough skill and strength, even a steel man can be brought down."
- ― Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger to Stalnoivolk (DC Comics)

Limitations[]
- Cannot may bypass Absolute Defense.
- Some targets may be able to withstand more damage anyway, such as if the target has Regenerative Healing Factor or if it is very large.
- Users of Bypassing Immunity are unaffected.
- If the target is immune to the attribute of the attack (such as Intangibility or Spatial-Temporal Lock) instead of defense-based resistance, then it is useless.
- Weak against Defense Recovery.
