The possibility that things could be worse does in no way mean that things are not bad at the moment. That makes no sense.A character might not always use their full power, however, that still means that they cannot be defeated by lesser characters. A weaker character cannot achieve anything, and it becomes nearly impossible to involve them in a storyline. Whenever I introduce a bad guy for a low-level good guy, someone like Darkside will simply crush them like an insect. I've tried to create worlds, factions, and stories, but I'm running out of multiverse-threatening bullshit. Anything that isn't at universe-rending levels is pretty much pointless when characters like Najimi exist.Najimi is retardedly overpowered. The idea that she exists to deal with overpowered characters is cute, but inaccurate. If this was the case, she would not get involved with the storyline whatsoever, except to perform this function. Which would be impossible, as she is your main character. The idea of her dealing with overpowered characters is simply an excuse to have an insanely overpowered character.Besides, if something truly is gamebreaking and the player refuses to rethink it, which happens almost never, I use Alpha to fix it.Dimensional locks are another thing. I don't like having a power that everyone is assumed to possess, but dimensional locks are another necessity. I invented them because I needed something to keep people from just leaving any situation that became uncomfortable, but they shouldn't be a necessity for allowing the story to occur. Furthermore, the rules of a dimension? Those haven't been enforced since we left YouTube. And even then, it was done minimalistically. Hell, all universes are sufficiently identical that nobody even tracks in what universe they are. There are no locations, really, locations are determined by where the characters are standing because that's the only interesting thing about them.Limiting it to a single world would at least give a feeling of scale. There would be individual universes, and like you said, there would be a 'Soul Eater' world, and a 'Rosario Vampire' world, however, it would still be on a single planet. No blasting off into space to go travel the universe. This means that if you deal serious damage to this planet, there is actual consequence. I can no longer have bad guys threaten the hero by blowig up towns or the like, because there's nobody anybody cares about! It used to be the Fairy Tail guild, the reason that so many things happened there was because it was practically the only place more interesting than 'some planet', other than Drac's Lair and Stein's Base.The midget cannon was a joke. Not a serious proposition. Bob could probably make one if he wanted one, anyway.I'm not entirely certain what your problem with the word retarded is. I'm quite fond of it myself. However, if you wish, I won't use it ^^

Unless of course, the bad guy had an ability that lowered the power level of anyone in the same dimension as they are to human level...... not to give you any ideas

Alright then, consider the following; (not sure if I used the proper punctuation)
there's something truly gamebreaking, the player refuses to rethink it, as this happens you haven't got on yet.

Yeah we should probably enforce the whole rule of a dimension thing more. We really should.

True.... genesis devourer, daemon, genocide, they posed serious threats. The daemon because they were immortal, and could only be slowed down. The genesis devourer because even if it didn't consume the entire multiverse, there would still be a good chance the girl controlling it (forgot her name) would still be able to rewrite the laws of the afterlife, and most likely things would go south from there, or the multiverse from implode. As for genocide, we all know shit will go down unless someone does something when someone is so confident in their power they make it their goal to destroy a concept. Because the multiverse is infinite, a few planets being destroyed is no big deal. But when someone tries do destroy a concept, especially a concept vital to the entire existance of the entire multiverse, you know they mean business. Or if they try to play God and rewrite the laws of the afterlife..... or the daemon.

Speaking of which, no, you are not bringing back the daemon. No. Just no......no..... you are not doing that. Get the idea out of your head.
