Done, and I added a third suggestion for good measure:
The Jump Hero's Journey
Shonen manga characters have their own version of The Heros Journey (the trope entry on that needs an apostrophe, btw), that may be worthy of its own entry.
Let me try to hit the high points.
-Hero is introduced either possessing a supernatural power or gaining it in the course of the first couple of chapters.
-Hero fights some sort of evil, learning a little about his powers in the process.
-A greater evil rises, against which the Hero's powers are useless. Hero is made aware of a higher level of his power that will work, and undergoes Training From Hell to unlock it. (Repeat this step as necessary.)
-The Hero sets off to fight the greater evil, along the way making Rivals by the score and indulging in many instances of My Kung Fu is Stronger than Yours and I Am Not Left-Handed. (Possibly involving several rounds of I'm Not Left-Handed Either.)
-A band of sidekicks is accumulated along the way. Many of these are former or current Rivals.
-The head Great Evil is fought and defeated; the Hero and sidekicks return home.
Bleach. Beet the Vandel Buster. Shaman King. Do I need to go on here?

"You talk as though you've already achieved--"
"Yeah."
