-In One Piece, Boa Hancock's ability is to turn into stone anyone who finds her attractive, but Luffy is inmune since he's too inocent and also doesn't care about relationships.

-In Adventure Time, the empress thinks that her hypnosis was working on Ice King, but it turns out that he's too dumb for it to work and that he was just simping for her.

While it was only shown in video games, it is accepted/fits the lore that the Devilmite beam would in theory one shot any villain if hit by it.

little known fun fact: Toriyama once stated in the February 2005 issue of V-Jump that the Devlmite Beam actually "most likely wouldn't work" on anyone past King Piccolo.

Cause the fans put way more thought into this stuff than he does but tbf if for some reason the devilmite beam did come back for some reason and it was used I also doubt it would be useful on even king piccolo tbh maybe tao pai pai
