Line 24:
** Pain's bodies did this to a few people during their attack on Konoha when trying to extract information from them on Naruto's whereabouts.
** Kakuzu does this to Choji and Ino at the same time.
* The super-strong tiger warrior Lime to Ryōga in ''[[Ranma ½|[[Ranma
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]''
** A favorite move of Nagi (Negi's father), having done it against {{spoiler|Fate}} during a [[Flash Back]] and when {{spoiler|Albireo}} copied him in his match against {{spoiler|Kaede}} during a tournament. Also a scene where the real Nagi used this on the last [[Mook]] Demon of an army he'd just torn through. He finished it in a [[Neck Snap]].
Line 55:
* In episode 20 of ''[[Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru]]'' Cadenza does this to Kuroto.
* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'': Kyouko is ''very'' fond of doing this, especially to [[Anti-Hero|Homura]]. [[Justified Trope|Justified]] in that she, as a [[Magical Girl]], has superhuman strength and can thus effortlessly lift her.
* ''[[Saint Seiya]]''. [[The Rival|Ohko]] does this to [[The Lancer|Shiryu]] at the climax of their fight. Subverted in that Shiryu takes the opportunity to strike Ohko's arm with his knee and break it.
* In episode 9 of ''[[Black Butler|Black Butler II]]'' Sebastian does this to Hannah.
* Shinji chokes and lifts Asuka up in ''[[End of Evangelion]]'' at one point.
Line 63:
== Comic Books ==
* There is a [http://chokeonthiscomics.tumblr.com/ Tumblr blog] dedicated to this.
* In comics parlance, this is also known as a Byrne Hold, named after artist John Byrne who was unusually fond of using it on comic covers.
* ''[[X Wing Series]]'': Wedge Antilles does a version of this to Sate Pestage, grabbing him with both hands by the front of his robes and slamming him against a wall. Pestage has referred to a nonhuman Rogue as "animal filth". [[Beware the Nice Ones|Wedge snapped.]]
Line 82:
== Films -- Animation ==
* ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'': As seen above, the Beast holds Gaston over the edge of the roof after defeating him. Notable in that the laws of physics were maintained because the Beast holds onto a grotesque to stay balanced.
* Quasimodo does this to Captain Phoebus by his collar in ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''. After calming down a bit, [[Does Not Know His Own Strength|he looked vaguely surprised to see that he'd done this]], and was kind enough to let the captain back down on the ground.
* In ''Starchaser: The Legend of Orin'', the evil android Zygon does this ''twice'' (with one hand, no less!), first to strangle Orin's first [[Love Interest]], then later to Orin himself (though this time, his victim escapes). In a subversion of this trope, though, kicking Zygon in the groin wouldn't have done much good anyway, since he's a fricking ''robot''.
* In ''[[Mulan]]'', Shan Yu does this to an Imperial [[Red Shirt]]. Quite intimidating in this case because Shan Yu holds his sword to the poor sap's throat at the same time.
Line 162:
** A neck lift made it through in the ''[[Power Rangers Samurai]]'' episode "A Strange Case of the Munchies". Done to Emily by the [[Monster of the Week]].
* Elliot does this to J.D. in one Season 4 ''[[Scrubs]]'' episode. Evidently, she gets VERY strong when she's mad...
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''
** Buffy accidentally does this to Cordelia in the first episode of when Cordelia startles her, thus helping to cement Buffy's (total lack of) social standing at her new high school.
** Also in the first episode, the Master does this to Darla deliberately.
Line 184:
== Video Games ==
* Spidey grabs mooks like this in ''Spider-Man 2: The Video Game''. From there on, he can do a variety of things to the helpless dude.
* ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''
** One of Ganondorf's special moves in ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]'' is a superpowered version of the chokeslam mentioned above. Only he grabs and lifts his victim by their '''face''' instead. Ouch.
** He also did this to Tetra and later Link (although he hauled Link up by the arm) in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda the Wind Waker]]''. Of course, considering that Tetra and Link are both children and Ganon is about twice the size of most adult characters in the game, it's not so far-fetched.
