Zoro likes this trope: his go-to solution for problems is "cut a limb off". Luckily he's only about halfway through by the time the cavalry arrives. Zoro is dead set to escape from a giant birthday cake ( long story) by cutting off his feet and then engaging the enemy. Rin from Mnemosyne breaks her own wrists with such nonchalant indifference, it makes you wonder just how many handcuffs she escaped this way in her very, very long life. In Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- Kurogane chooses to cut off his own arm in order to save Fai's life when they were trapped in the collapsing world of Ceres, making most KuroFai fangirls shriek "CANON!" and CLAMP snicker at their own evilness. Shuda could have allowed Haru to save his life, but opted cut off the hand Haru was holding and fell to his not quite death. Kenpachi tears his right arm off when Pernida takes control of it. Hachi faces the same situation, but manages to turn things to his advantage by not just cutting off his arm, but teleporting it inside Barragan, causing him to rot under his own power, killing him. It helps that Barragan had already broken the bones in said arm earlier with his Rapid Aging powers, so it wasn't like she was losing much. See also Soifon, who rather than let her body be completely taken by Barragan's power to age her to a skeleton, has her lieutenant cut off her arm. Byakuya's then forced to finish the fight one-legged and one-armed. Byakuya again doesn't hesitate and immediately severs the tendons and muscles in his left hand as well. When Zommari tries to take advantage of the fact Byakuya's now stuck fighting him one-legged, he learns Byakuya's speed is still incredible but manages to take control of Byakuya's left hand and tries to strangle Byakuya with his own hand. Byakuya doesn't hesitate to sever the tendons and muscles of his own leg to render his limb useless. Zommari first attempts to control Byakuya's left leg. Byakuya is fighting a villain that can control Byakuya's limbs. #THE SHANARRA CHRONICLES EPISODE 5 THE REAPER TORRENT FULL#
Battle Angel Alita does this a lot, although due to Alita being a full conversion cyborg the amputations or dismemberment are less than permanent. Leads to a quick conversation in another novel.
In the fourth Slayers novel, and in the corresponding scene in the Slayers: Revolution anime, fleeing villain Zuuma blocks Lina's Flare Lance spell with his remaining arm (having already lost one in the preceding fight) and manages to escape while completely armless. #THE SHANARRA CHRONICLES EPISODE 5 THE REAPER TORRENT SERIES#
The ironic thing is that it was his left arm that was always the most protected throughout the series up until the Eclipse. He gains the Arm Cannon after he heals, which has saved his life pretty much every single time he's clashed with dangerous foes. This proves to be rather fortuitous, though. What makes the scene even more badass is that Guts doesn't seem to be grunting in pain: more like in annoyance that any other time in the series, appendages are flying like confetti, but when he needs his arm detached right then and there. That doesn't make the moment any less badass. When Guts severs his arm completely, he charges Femto and nearly stabs him in the eye, but the Godhand simply tosses him into the air and he is shortly after dogpiled by Apostles.
During the Eclipse in Berserk, Guts has to chisel off his own left forearm - which is caught in a demonic Apostle's jaws - with a broken sword in order to save his love Casca, who is in the middle of being raped by Femto, the Godhand who used to be their former captain, Griffith. Compare Disposable Vehicle Section, when a similar thing happens with vehicles, as well as the somewhat less drastic Giving Them the Strip, where escaping requires abandoning at least one article of clothing.
If you're lucky (in a sense), one of your Artificial Limbs is the limb that got trapped, so you can pull off a Fake Arm Disarm without any real injury to yourself and then get a replacement later.Īmputation Stops Spread is similar but to stop poisoning or infection instead of escaping. Note that even if a person manages this, realistically they will bleed to death (which might be just what the villain has intended) in a few minutes unless they are able to close the wound, so only try this if you have a plan for doing that.
Many animals will do this to escape traps in real life. Sometimes a villain or '90s Anti-Hero imposes this choice as a punishment, but in other cases, a character is simply trapped. A version of the Sadistic Choice when a person is forced to make a terrible choice - they need to remove one of their appendages in order to escape with their life.
