Line 57:
* {{spoiler|Ginga Nakajima}} of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' loses her left arm during her battle against the [[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Numbers Cyborgs]] in ''StrikerS''. {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Jail Scaglietti]] would later replace it with an arm that could extend and [[This Is a Drill|spin as a drill]] after he captures her}}.
* In ''[[The Animatrix]]'' -- ''The Second Renaissance Part II'', during a battle sequence, a gigantic battle robot rips open a mecha to get at the human inside. Metal tentacles coil around his limbs and then rip him away from them as he screams. The short scene is effective and intense.
* Loss of limbs is a common injury suffered by [[Amazon Brigade| the Pandoras]] in ''[[Freezing]]'' during their battles with the Nova. While they have access to medical science that can regenerate their limbs, this also reduces their overall lifespan.
* Guts of ''[[Berserk]]'' loses part of his left arm to the demons during the Eclipse {{spoiler|when a demon with a set of impressive choppers clamps down on it, and he has to chisel it off with what's left of his weapon to free himself so he can save Casca from being raped by Griffith as Femto. He fails in this endeavor due to being dogpiled by monsters and getting his eye clawed out soon after freeing himself, though that doesn't make the moment any less [[Badass]]}}.
* Several of the [[Gunslinger Girl]]s suffered Type 3s this before being cyborgized as Type 1s, and occasionally get Type 2s in the course of their missions.
Line 87 ⟶ 88:
* ''[[Ai no Kusabi]]'': {{spoiler|Iason loses his legs near the end in a fatal situation prompting the tragic ending. Guy also loses his left arm.}}
* In ''[[Baccano!]]'', Ladd Russo finds his left forearm stripped to the bone after {{spoiler|a nasty run-in with the Rail Tracer}}.
