Clean Cut: Difference between revisions

Line 15:

* The parasites in ''[[Parasyte]]/Kiseijuu'' can turn parts of their bodies into blades that can slice and dice multiple humans in the blink of an eye. This happens ''a lot''.

* Integra ''[[Hellsing]]'' is [[Badass Normal~~|Badass~~ ~~enough~~ ~~a Normal]]~~ to easily cut apart Nazi vampires. She was using a sabre, though.

* Integra ''[[Hellsing]]'' is [[Badass Normal]] who manages to easily cut apart Nazi vampires. She was using a sabre, though.

** {{spoiler|Her butler can do the same, but uses apparently limitless [[Razor Floss|razor wires]] with enough skill to earn the nickname "Angel of Death."}}

** And Luke Valentine as well, although he's a supernaturally strong and fast vampire.

Line 27:

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has {{spoiler|Negi's}} arm severed cleanly ( {{spoiler|and later [[White Magic|re-attached]]}}), but here it's [[A Wizard Did It|magic]], so it kind of makes sense.

* ''[[GoLion]]/[[Voltron]]'' loves this, as it occurs every time he uses the Juuohken/Blazing Sword, which is just about [[Once Per Episode]].

* [[Claymore]] has, with virtually EVERY SINGLE CUT, those on the business end not realizing they've been cut until they blast [[High-Pressure Blood]]/suddenly lose an appendage or three. Sometimes both at once.

* ''[[Claymore]]'' has, with virtually EVERY SINGLE CUT, those on the business end not realizing they've been cut until they blast [[High-Pressure Blood]]/suddenly lose an appendage or three. Sometimes both at once.

* Happens fairly often in ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma One Half]]'', though never on a living target, and from all sorts of strange weapons. In his first appearance,[[Kendo Team Captain|Tatewaki]] [[Lord Error-Prone|Kuno]] cuts down a tree this way with a single, one-handed back-stroke from his bokken. In a late manga story, Ranma cuts a circular opening in a wall big enough to walk through... ''with his bare hands''.

* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'': In the manga, Wrath jumps through a rain of bullets at a group of soldiers. Four of them (or more, hard to tell with all the flying body parts) simultaneously fall to pieces two panels later.

Line 34:

** Played straight by swords used by Casca or Griffith, as well as the sword made by Godo that Guts used immediately before the Dragon Slayer, which cleanly slice through another sword and the edge of an anvil before it broke on an Apostle's hide.

* Happens in ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' a few times. One notable example is Kenshin cutting a vegetable in half so cleanly and so quickly that ''it heals after the pieces are reassembled.''

* In ''[[Witchblade (anime)|Witchblade]]'' this is how Masane kills her first zombie robot (it even tries to move after her before falling apart and exploding) and later how "the Ultimateblade" the replica for a male Wielder, bites it.

* This is how the Ultimateblade, the only male Wielder in ''[[Witchblade (anime)|Witchblade]]'', bites it, courtesy of Masane.

* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' has Brera's [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]] [[Blade Below the Shoulder]] do this to a Hydra in episode 10. ''Lengthwise'' and his knife is barely larger than a combat knife.

* Characters in ''[[Blood+|Blood Plus]]'' are fond of this. Justified to some extent by many characters being superhuman Chiropterans.

* Happens in ''[[Soul Eater]]'', only accentuated by the author's early simpler style and (fairly) bloodless carnage. Stein slicing up Medusa into very neat pieces is a good example in the series. Although in that case there is a delay before the High Pressure Blood-loss.
