Line 48:
* In ''[[Wolf Guy|Wolf Guy Wolfen Crest]]'', with a [[Complete Monster]] like Haguro in charge, it's less about having the wife and move about {{spoiler|kidnapping the [[Hot Teacher]] that is the [[Anti-Hero]]'s [[Morality Chain]], violently torture and rape her for several hours, videotaping this and threaten said [[Anti-Hero]] with sending copies of said sexual acts to completely smear her fame.}}
* This is used quite a bit in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]''. Pegasus takes Yugi's grandfather's soul to make him compete in his tournament. Then there's the Joey anchor duel. [[Rule of Three|Then]] Duke Devlin humiliates Joey and makes Yugi duel to get him out of the dog suit. I'm sure there's more.
* Done in ''[[Full Metal Panic!]] Fumoffu'' when someone tells Sousuke that they have Chidori kidnapped. So before showing up to make a deal with the bad guys he kidnaps or threatens EVERY SINGLE [[Mook|MOOK'S]] MOST PRECIOUS SIGNIFICANT OTHER to force them to give up Chidori. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] indeed.
* In ''[[Gate 7]]'', [[Reincarnation|Tokugawa]] [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|Iemitsu]] kipnapped the twin sister of one of the Urashichiken's members.
Line 158:
* In the first season finale of ''[[Los Simuladores]]'', their leader Santos is kidnapped in exchange for helping a mob boss being set free.
* Done to [[Butt Monkey|Miles O'Brien]] on ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]''. The twist: the villain was actually a Pah Wraith (a noncorporeal being) ''[[Demonic Possession|possessing]]'' his wife, and could kill her instantaneously. The only solution was to figure out a way to kill the Wraith even ''more'' instantaneously, without letting it catch on to the plan.
* Seems to happen a few times in ''[[Supernatural]]'', though it's more like [[
* Gwen's mother, husband and daughter are held hostage by Olivia Colasanto in ''[[Torchwood: Miracle Day]]'' to blackmail Gwen into kidnapping Jack for her.
* ''[[White Collar]]'': In the cliffhanger ending of the third series mid season finale, {{spoiler|Keller has kidnapped Peter's wife, El.}}
Line 217:
* ''[[Metal Gear]]'' ''really'' loves using this trope:
** In the original ''[[Game]]/MetalGear'', Ellen Madnar was held hostage by Outer Heaven so her father would cooperate in developing Metal Gear.
** In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', the Pentagon arranges for Meryl Silverburgh to be captured by the Sons of Big Boss by deliberately sending her to Shadow Moses with full knowledge that she's being sent the same day she'll revolt in order to force Roy Campbell to not only cooperate in halting the revolt, but also keep secrets from Solid Snake (such as Metal Gear REX's development and {{spoiler|Snake being used as a vector for a bioweapon virus known as FOXDIE}}). In the in-game novel on the events in the sequel, [[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]], its also revealed that not only were the Patriots behind the Pentagon's decision in regards to Meryl being sent, but also the implication that they would have Meryl and Roy Campbell killed should Campbell even attempt to expose the secrets to Snake.
** ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'' has ''two'' instances of this in the game (three, counting the aforementioned in-game novel), all of which the Patriots were responsible of doing: The first is with Olga Gurlukovich: The Patriots kidnapped her child during birth, and they threatened to [[Would Hurt a Child|kill her child]] should Olga either disobey their orders or fail her mission (in this case, if Raiden ends up killed). The second time is to Raiden himself: Not only does he have to save Olga's child after she died in an act of sacrifice, but now he has to live for Rosemary and his unborn child, as they are holding her hostage, and she's pregnant, and it is implied that even after Raiden succeeded in the exercise, they are still holding them hostage.
** Something similar is revealed to be the reason why The Sorrow and The Boss fought to the death in Dolinovodno: They had to fight due to The Boss's failure and her unauthorized usage of the Philosopher's spy network or else they would murder Ocelot.
