Shortening the queue. I still think it's a bit specific.

Minor correction of previous comment, it is 11 terms with a copula versus 4 omissions.

  Comments:
Out of the 15 most common terms starting with もう無理, 10 include either the copula or an inflection of it (those with an *) and the remaining 5 are a result of copula omission. I do not see how adding the copula would be overly compositional, it is 1-2 added characters. 

Now, apologies for the lack of the percentage values, I do not know how to display them if there is a setting to do so, and was wary of calculating them manually as I do not know how the N-gram parses the results. For example: are もう無理's 237578 results not including substrings pulled from もう無理だ and the others? If so, should 237578 not be treated as 100% with the 71953 of もう無理だ and もう無理です accounting for ~30.3% of the total rather than ~23.2%? 

Whichever the case, N-gram count of もう無理 in a vacuum might not be the best compass, as I imagine it will draw a substantial number of results from phrases that are not the set expression from もう無理だ.
