the thing is, with some shows like Hajime no Ippo or Kenichi, while I enjoyed them both, when I step back, I don't see anything else to back up their will except will itself. You mentioned the means or power to support their will, but I just see that as being unexplainable sometimes, usually simply arising out of the thought "I cannot loose", or "I made a promise" etc. Like in some games where you gain extra abilities just by being down on your last once of health.
In other words, I don't see the development in the turning point used to allow the protagonist to win.
