Line 31:
*** Nobody ever accused Ranma of being a genius. However, it's [[Fridge Brilliance|probable the wielder would have likewise taken steps back to tighten them.]]
** For those who don't like obscure references: the character was Mon Lon of the Shichifukudojin (or, in dubbed English: Seven Lucky Gods Martial Artists); the movie was ''Big Trouble in Nekonron, China''. And the whole scene was a parody of the fight with God Warrior Mime in the Asgardian arc of ''[[Saint Seiya]]''.
* The three Gamia sisters of ''[[Mazinger Z]]''. They are three identical, [[Girlish Pigtails|long-haired]], [[Ridiculously Human Robot|human-looking]] [[Robot Girl|robots]]. Each hair strand of theirs is sharp and can cut through blocks of stone. They showed up again in ''[[Mazinkaiser]]'' and ''[[Shin Mazinger Shougeki! Z-hen]]''.
* [[Bishonen]] Benten from ''[[Cyber City Oedo 808]]'' used this as his weapon of choice, slicing through bad guys quite stylishly.
* Kazuki from ''[[GetBackers]]'' (pictured), who's also known as "Kazuki of the Strings." They're just ordinary koto strings (harp strings in the Tokyopop version) that defy the laws of physics because of the vibrations he applies to them with his fingers. The picture above is actually a relatively tame example; in the last arc of the story, he destroys multiple skyscrapers in seconds with his strings. Other characters who use strings can also create perfect body-doubles of themselves, tigers, and supernatural cocoons attached to the heart.
Line 191:
* Captain Tagon from ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'' has a "Dorothy System" in his boots. He clicks his heels together, and it strings a mono-wire between them. This makes a dandy surprise weapon. He's used it to disarm Schlock - literally ([[Good Thing You Can Heal|he got better]]). He later uses it to decapitate Elf so that he can put her head into suspended animation and get her safely back to the ship before his last stand in one of the Schlocktoberfests.
** Supposedly it was named for [[The Wizard of Oz (film)|Dorothy's]] magic slippers. She would click her heels together and say "there's no place like home." With this weapon you need not say anything, although users do tend to say things like [[Bloody Hilarious|"eewww"]].
* Subverted in [http://www.sluggy.com/daily.php?date=051105 this] [[B -Side Comics|B Side Comic]] from ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]''.
* [[Jeeves and Wooster (novel)|Reginald Jeeves]] (yes, you read that right) in ''[[And Shine Heaven Now]]'': in fact, he was the one that taught [[Hellsing|Walter]] how to use them.
* Butch from ''[[Chopping Block]]'' [http://choppingblock.keenspot.com/d/20101222.html has some fun] with wires on a ski slope.
