The pin is pulled from a grenade on a [[Badass Bandolier|grenade belt]], causing the wearer and anyone in the immediate vicinity to explode. It can be used to elaborately kill a tooled-up enemy or as a makeshift suicide belt. Expect it to be used on a nearly triumphant enemy leading to a cathartic [[Oh Crap]] moment for the villain before he explodes. A subtrope of [[Why Am I Ticking?]]

== Anime ==
* At the beginning of the final battle between Accelerator and Kihara in the second season of ''[[ToA AruCertain Majutsu noMagical Index]]'', the former [[One-Hit Polykill|takes out three mooks with this trick]]. The only remaining one [[Oh Crap|promptly craps himself]] and [[Too Dumb to Live|tries using the]] [[Damsel in Distress]] (Accelerator's [[Morality Pet]]) as a [[Human Shield]]. Accelerator [[Pistol Whip-Whipping|doesn't appreciate it]].
* Played for laughs in the ''[[Kochikame]]'' manga. Military crazed cop Volvo Saigo who's armed to the teeth have accidentally released his pins when fastening his seatbelt and from swimming. Since this is a cartoon, he gets better.

Since he spit them out when his cagemates pulled him back, it seems implied that he [[Pin -Pulling Teeth|pulled them with his teeth]].
