Dragon Syndrome 

The process by which a character in a story who the narrative tries to portray as powerful and relevant is unable to actually do anything important or impressive for storytelling reasons, leading to their reputation cannibalizing itself in the eyes of the readers of the piece of media. Named after Monkey D. Dragon from the story of One Piece, who famously never does anything.
