Shadow Pin: Difference between revisions

 

Almost always supernatural in nature, a '''Shadow Pin''' generally means that you're dealing with a very dangerous person, and it seems to be a common foray of [[Ninja]], probably due to their inherent relationship with shadow and darkness. In some cases it can also be used to form a [[Mirror Routine]] between the controller and the controlled, and the entire process is often very humiliating for the one being controlled.

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* The defeated Big Bad of chapter 3 is held in place by (his)demonic babies that emerge from his shadow in ''[[Majin Devil]]''

* Tsubasa Andou from ''[[Gakuen Alice]]'' has this as his power.

* [[Yami no Matsuei|Seiichirou Tatsumi's]] power as a Shinigami is basically this.

 

== Film ==

* ''[http://jabootu.net/?p=11 Ator The Fighting Eagle]''

 

== Literature ==

* In ''[[A Night in the Lonesome October]]'' by [[Roger Zelazny]], Owen used druidic magic to make Cheeter the squirrel into his familiar, by ''literally'' pinning his shadow to a wall. Snuff and Greymalk undo the magic by pulling the seven silver pins loose, then dragging the shadow over the squirrel's body, allowing it to re-bind itself to seven scratches on Cheeter's hide.

 

== Video Games ==

* Jack of ''[[Wild ARMs 1]]'' can learn the Shadow Bind technique, where he paralyzes enemies by throwing swords at their shadows.

 

* Maxim of ''[[A Modest Destiny]]'' learns to control his shadow, and also learns that what his shadow does to another object or person's shadow also happens to that person. Thus, he can use his shadow to pick up another person via their shadow, or {{spoiler|throw a stick through the eye of the [[The Dragon]] while immobilized}}.
