== Anime & Manga ==
Line 26:
** 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 One Half½ (Manga)|Ranma One Half]]''. Particularly horrifying since Ryōga has considerable superhuman strength and is [[Made of Iron]] himself, but Lime even more so. It ends with Lime {{spoiler|crushing Ryōga's throat}} and almost bringing him to the {{spoiler|point of death}}. But when Ryōga's [[Kamehame Hadoken|Shishi Hokodan]] fills him with "heavy" [[Battle Aura|depression ki]], he becomes too heavy for even Lime to lift.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima (Manga)|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 43:
** [[Big Bad]] Nobunaga does this to the hero Date Masamune. Despite the fact that he is holding up a grown man with one hand, he makes it look painfully easy.
** Happens to Masamune again in the second season and again by the [[Big Bad]], though this time it looks a bit more convincing seeing as Hideyoshi is (at least) twice Masamune's size.
* In a rare heroic example, Kato does this to two [[Red Shirts]] ([[Badass|at the same time!]]) in ''[[Gantz (Anime)|Gantz]]'' to show off the power of the Gantz suit and convince them to wear theirs, thus increasing their chances of survival ([[Kill 'Em All|not that it helps]]). This may count as more of a variant in that he grabs them by their shirt collars rather than by their necks proper.
* ''[[Hellsing (Anime)|Hellsing]]'': Alucard did this to Rip van Winkle in the 4th OVA.
* In the 8th episode of ''[[Zero Seven Ghost (Manga)|Zero Seven Ghost]]'' Ayanami (in Mikage's body) does this to Teito.
Line 52:
* ''[[Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru (Manga)|Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru]]'': During their fight in chapter 64 Kevin does this to Minoru.
* In ''[[Silent Möbius (Manga)|Silent Möbius]]'', Kiddy greets detective Ralph Baumers this way the first few times they meet. They wind up going out later.
* ''[[Hanaukyo Maid Tai (Anime)|Hanaukyo Maid Tai]] La Vérité'' episode 11. Konoe's [[Onee -Sama]] does this to Yashima Sanae while fighting her and to Taro when he insists on trying to rescue Mariel.
* ''[[Gunslinger Girl (Manga)|Gunslinger Girl]]''. Henrietta does this to a purse snatcher, who's rather surprised when he's lifted off his moped by a [[Hollywood Cyborg|ten-year old girl half his size]].
* Mewtwo from ''[[Pokémon the First Movie (Anime)|Pokémon the First Movie]]'' actually did this to one of the captured trainers with his ''own mind''.
* In episode 20 of ''[[Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru (Manga)|Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru]]'' Cadenza does this to Kuroto.
* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)|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 (Manga)|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 (Manga)|Black Butler II]]'' Sebastian does this to Hannah.
Line 91:
** He does it again with [http://hq55.com/disney/incr/incredibles-disneyscreencaps.com-9753.jpg Mirage]. He's taken a few lessons from the bad guys, apparently.
* Emperor Zurg neck-lifts "Buzz 2" in ''[[Toy Story 2]]''. It helps that they're both made of light-weight plastic.
* ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (Film)|Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''. Judge Doom does it to Roger when he captures him in the bar.
* The [[Horny Vikings|Viking captain]] actually does this to his first mate after he refuses the first mate's warning that the Leviathan is about to destroy their ship during their search for Atlantis in a deleted opening for ''[[Atlantis the Lost Empire (Disney)|Atlantis the Lost Empire]]''.
 
Line 190:
** 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 (Video Game)|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.
* General Scales sure loves doing this in ''[[Star Fox (Video Game)|Star Fox Adventures]]''.
* [[Big Bad]] Sarevok does this in the intro movie of the first ''[[BaldursBaldur's Gate (Video Game)|Baldurs Gate]]''. He then bashes the unfortunate victim through a grate, breaks his neck, and tosses him off a high building.
* [[The Dragon|Saren]] does this to [[Player Character|Commander Shepard]] in ''[[Mass Effect 1 (Video Game)|Mass Effect 1]]''. And is treated to a human specialty, a [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|punch to the face]].
** In ''[[Mass Effect 3 (Video Game)|Mass Effect 3]]'', {{spoiler|letting the quarians exterminate the geth means Legion will do this to Shepard. The result? A knife in the back from Tali.}}
Line 198:
* Wesker does this several times in ''[[Resident Evil]] 5''.
** Hell, in ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom 3 (Video Game)|Marvel vs. Capcom 3]]'' after a victory he does it to the cameraman!
* Some enemies in ''[[Iji (Video Game)|Iji]]'' can do that before electrocuting their victims. It's a [[One -Hit Kill]] for anyone other than Iji herself. {{spoiler|That includes Dan}}, so choose carefully where you put your Trapmine!
* ''[[Prototype (Video Game)|Prototype]]''
** This is how Alex Mercer holds his victims. Hilariously, some of the NPC comments while being held include reminders that [[Groin Attack|their foot is now level with your crotch]]. Sadly, they don't follow through on this.
Line 260:
* General Grievous does this in his introductory scene in ''[[Star Wars Clone Wars]]'' with his ''cybernetic leg'' before slamming the victim through the ground.
* ''[[Transformers]]: [[Beast Wars (Animation)|Beast Wars]]'': In the second season opener, this is how Rhinox establishes to Dinobot that he's in no mood for any argument about who's in charge right now.
* ''[[Danny Phantom (Animation)|Danny Phantom]]'', the show, seems to like this one. Danny Phantom, the character, is understandably less fond. Throughout most of the show, this trope is almost literally [[Once Per Episode]]. It's only subverted by the fact that a [[Neck Lift]] is a lot less effective if the person being grabbed can shoot ''[[Frickin' Laser Beams|lasers]]'' out of their ''eyes'' or occasionally ''[[An Ice Person|freeze the attacker solid]]''. Still don't work on [[Big Bad|Vlad]], though.
* ''[[Looney Tunes (Animation)|Looney Tunes]]'' short ''Big Top Bunny''. Bruno the bear does it to [[Bugs Bunny]] so Bugs will let Bruno do the 1,000-foot-high dive first.
