Willpower and The Limiter (One-Punch Man)

==Summary==
The limiter (リミッター, Rimittā) is a barrier placed by God on all beings in the One-Punch Man world that restricts their physical growthOne-Punch Man Chapter 88. The limiter acts as a sort of cap to an individual's growth, making it impossible to grow past a certain point. There are different ways to bypass the limiter, such as Monsterization, which essentially transforms an individual into a new being, granting them a new limiter, and Cyborgification which only limits are of the technology itself.
It is also possible for the limiter to be brokenOne-Punch Man Chapter 126. Doing so allows an individual to grow indefinitely, however in order to do so, the individual would need to conquer death, overbearing their body and soul. This process is very difficult, and is only possible via sheer willpower and resilience.
