Line 28:
** {{spoiler|Danzo}}'s "Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique" forms a [[Sphere of Destruction]] sealing anything within range inside the user's body, [[Portal Cut|Portal Cutting]] anything only partway in.
* Gluttony's ''mouth'' does this to Envy's upper torso (accidentally) and [[Animated Armor|Alphonse's hand]] while attempting to "eat" Roy Mustang in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]''. {{spoiler|Since the upper torso contained the philosopher's stone, it was the part that regenerated inside Gluttony's stomach}}.
** This also happens to Frank Archer in the original anime who just happens to be standing on the border of the philosopher's stone's transmutation circle when it activates. He has a large part of his body, including half of his face, become part of the stone and [[Two -Faced|has it replaced with automail]].
* Two Contractors with different kinds of teleportation powers in ''[[Darker Than Black]]'' do this as an attack. The first could swap-teleport two objects, and would often switch an opponent's [[Beat Still My Heart|vital organs]] with some random object. The second could teleport things covered by [[Bloody Murder|his blood]], so he would take a knife and fling bits of his blood all over people before teleporting the sections of their body the blood covers... somewhere else.
* [[Bokurano|Coemushi]] does this when a character points a gun at him. He retaliates teleporting away the gun with the hand of the man still holding it.

* This is the power of the [[Marvel Comics]] mutant Blink. She (well, an [[Alternate Universe]] version of her) later refines this into actual full-body teleportation. The AU version is quite capable of slicing up what she teleports too, but the mainstream [[Marvel Universe]] version could ''only'' do that because of her [[How Do I Shot Web?|limited of control of her powers]].
* Another Marvel mutant, Locus (this one a villain) likes to do this, or at least threatens to do it a lot (not sure if she's ever done so "onscreen").
* In Marvel's [[Age of Apocalypse]] storyline {{spoiler|the alternate-reality version of Nightcrawler teleports a villain's head off}}.
Line 43:
* This is how Manhunter killed {{spoiler|her supervillain father}}.
* [[Stormwatch]] defeated superpowered [[Nietzsche Wannabe]] killing machine "Father" with this technique.
* {{spoiler|Superman}} kills {{spoiler|Mr. Mxyzptlk}} with the {{spoiler|Phantom Zone projector}} like this in [[Whatever Happened to The Man of Tomorrow?]]. Normally the {{spoiler|Phantom Zone projector}} ''can't'' do this, but it was a special case since at the same time, {{spoiler|Mr. Mxyzptlk}} panics and tries to teleport away himself, so that half of him ends up in his own dimension and half in {{spoiler|the Phantom Zone}}.
* Doctor Finitevus references this in Sonic Universe series when a character jumps at him, only to be redirected by a portal created by Doctor Finitevus. While that character is going through, Doctor Finitevus "wonders" what would happen if the portal were closed while someone were in it.
 
Line 96:
** This happens again in season four when Olivia tries to follow a fugitive through a portal. She is fine but the car she is driving has a large chunk of its front cut off.
* In ''[[The Twilight Zone]]'' episode "Little Girl Lost", after pulling everyone out of the other dimension, a guy goes, "Another few seconds, and half of you would've been here, and the other half..."
* In the [[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]] episode "The Three Doctors", a green blob teleports the Doctor and part of the building he's in through a black hole, and later the rest of the building. The two parts of the building arrive in different locations. At the end, when everything is sent back to "where it came from", the two parts of the building are re-assembled, aparrently without any permanent damage.
