* In ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', Yui is pretty much Sealed [[Mama Bear]] In A [[Humongous Mecha]]. Bottom line: you try to off her son - you're dead, period. She definitely fits this trope - she's not evil because she only kills what she's supposed to kill yet she's not good either because when she grabs the wheel... [[Gorn]] Ensues.
* Yami Yugi from [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]! is totally badass. Bonus points for being sealed in an [[Amulet of Concentrated Awesome]].
* In ''[[The Legend of Maian]],'' Felicia Rand Philistine is this. Originally portrayed as [[Sealed Evil in a Can]], {{spoiler|recent events have suggested she had noble intentions. She is by no means good though.}} Interestingly enough, Fenix Maian is the actual can, while Felicia is the badass. {{spoiler|Well, the sealed on. Fenix is [[Took a Level Inin Badass|leveling up at the moment.]]}}
* Inner Moka from ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'' is [[Badass]] enough to [[Curb Stomp Battle|curb stomp]] all but the best monsters out there. She spends the bulk of her time sealed in a [[Creepy Cool Crosses|rosary]] while Outer Moka takes care of daily life. Interestingly, {{spoiler|Inner Moka is the original personality and Outer Moka is artificial, so she's actually sealed ''in her own body''!}}
* The title character of ''[[Inuyasha]]'', who was sealed to a tree by Kikyo for 50 years and released because he was the only one in the immediate vicinity who could kill a powered up Mistress Centipede.

* In ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'', [[The Empire|the Imperium]]'s [[Psycho for Hire|Eversor assassins]] are kept in stasis pods when not on a mission, as their bodies are pumped full of stimulants that turn them [[Ax Crazy]] and significantly shorten their lifespan (not to mention cause them to [[Explosive Overclocking|literally explode upon death]]).
** Space Marine dreadnoughts are also kept asleep until they are needed. The main difference between a dreadnaught and most other examples is that most Badasses don't ride the can they're sealed in into battle, while a Dreadnaught serves as a life support system for the mortally wounded Space Marine interred within.
*** This also applies to Chaos Dreadnoughts who, unlike their loyalist counterparts, see their entombment as torture, and are kept in constant pain. Thus when they are released on the battlefield they strike like a torrent of rage, for the promise of death.

== [[Video Games]] ==
* [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Shadow the Hedgehog,]] the world's [[Ultimate Lifeform]], was unleashed by Eggman in ''Sonic Adventure 2'', in a long line of [[Sealed Evil in a Can|things being]] [[Sealed Good in a Can|released]] from cans in that series. As soon as Shadow is released, he defeats a [[Giant Mook|giant mecha]] by himself.
* In ''[[StarcraftStarCraft]]'', this is what happens to the Terran Marines between missions: cryogenic storage. Not surprising, since they're mostly a bunch of "[[Restraining Bolt|rehabilitated]]" criminals.
** Except for marauder infantry. Only 23% of them have been accused of murder, and 47% of them have never even been incarcerated.
*** Firebats on the other hand is an entirely different story... Every single one of them is an [[Ax Crazy|unrepentant]] [[Playing with Fire|pyromaniac]] welded to two heavy-duty flamethrowers and let loose on the battlefield, the result is predictably... [[Kill It with Fire|crispy]].
