Shadow Pin: Difference between revisions

* The Nara Clan in ''[[Naruto]]'' has this as their main shtick, and use it mostly to control someone puppet-style. Shikamaru has some other diverse shadow related abilities, including his shadow Sewing, Shadow Strangulation, and turning his chakra knives into the "pin-the-shadow" ability.

** Jiraiya has a similar move where his body becomes flat and merges with someone's shadow, giving him control over them as long as he can hold his breath.

* In the ''[[Tsukihime]]'' manga, Ciel's Black Keys are able to do this to Akiha and pin her in place after Ciel tosses up a flare.

** Ciel does this against Shiki in the [[Visual Novel]] as well.

* The ''[[Pokémon]]'' Wobbuffet has an ability called Shadow Tag which prevents opposing Pokemon from fleeing or switching out.

** Baton Pass can bypass this effect, but the substitute takes the effect in turn. You cannot manually switch out until Wobbuffet is knocked out, and that might take a while. There are also moves that stop a Pokemon from leaving the battlefield as well, but the one that closest matches this trope is [[The Dark Side|Shadow Hold]].
