Slashed Throat: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

This [[Death Tropes|Death Trope]] is one of the classic ways to kill someone in media. Take a knife, a straight razor, or some other nasty edged weapon and draw it across your victim's throat. In a lot of media, this is generally instant death, but in more realistic works, it is generally quite slow (unless the carotid arteries are all severed, in which case the target passes out after a few seconds due to lack of oxygenated blood to the brain--though it takes a certain amount of expertise to land such a strike) and VERY messy to boot, particularly if the carotid artery or the jugular vein are severed, though of course this depends on the work. Not to mention the victim usually drowns in their own blood before passing out. Naturally, [[Knife Nut|Knife Nuts]] are particularly fond of this method.

See also the lethal variant of [[Dangerously Close Shave]].

* In ''[[Full Metal Panic]]: The Second Raid,'' this was one of the bloodier killing methods, done by [[Creepy Twins|Creepy Twin]] Yu Lan to a guard. It is done to an Arm Slave at one point too.
