Artificial Limbs: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'': Several of [[Gunsmith Cats|Rally Vincent's]] most implacable opponents all use prosthetic hands, thumbs or legs... mostly because Rally ''shot off'' their original hands, thumbs, or legs.

* In the ''[[Houshin Engi]]'' manga, Taikoubou loses an arm in a battle and he's given an artificial one to replace it. It features a number of abilities including stretching (to work as a [[Grappling Hook Pistol]]), a squirt gun, and a [[Rocket Punch]].

* Squalo from ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' has a fake left hand. He cut off his real hand to better understand the previous Sword Emperor.

* ''[[One Piece]]'': Franky, {{spoiler|He's a cola powered cyborg, having rebuilt his limbs and much of his body from the wrecks of his old battlships aka [[Battle Frankys]]}}

* In ''[[Vision of Escaflowne]]'', [[The Dragon]] [[Aloof Big Brother|Folken]] has a pretty nifty-looking right arm given to him by the [[Big Bad]] to replace the one that got eaten by a dragon.

* Kurogane of ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' has, in the manga, recently required a prosthetic arm from the technologically advanced world of Piffle after he sacrificed his own arm to save Fai. Despite being a rush-job and therefore not covered in synthetic skin, it appears to work just as well as his organic arm. However, he has recently admitted {{spoiler|that the arm does not fit him right and causes him pain. Hard to conceal bleeding when your boyfriend is a vampire.}}

* Ginkotsu of the Band of Seven in [[Inuyasha]] starts out with a heavily prosthetically amplified body and ends up as torso attached to a Feudal style tank.

** Arguably, the Band of Seven and Kikyou have prosthetic bodies which store their souls. Ditto for Akago/Mouryoumaru, kinda.

** The [[Our Orcs Are Different|Orks]]. Their doctors are born with instinctive knowledge of the Ork anatomy, so they are always experimenting. The most famous, Mad Doc Grotsnik, gave several Orks ''exploding heads'' and regularly cuts off his own limbs and replaces them with 'cybork' parts or 'donations' from customers out cold on the slab.

** The Iron Warriors Traitor Legion. While many Chaos Space Marines welcome mutations as gifts from the Chaos Gods, the Iron Warriors just chop off the offending limb and replace it with bionics.

** The Classic Dwarf entry, Burlok Damminson - who has a [[Steampunk]] power claw.

* The [[Tabletop RPG]] ''[[Rifts]]'' makes a number of distinctions between cybernetics: Limbs and implants designed for civilian uses are simply called cybernetics, while armored limbs and weapons are called ''Bionics.'' Most characters, expect for Psionics, Mages, and supernatural creatures can get cybernetics, or go for Partial (all limbs replaced, plus some torso or head implants) or Full (Everything but the central nervous system) Bionic Conversion. Full Conversion 'Borgs can take a number of shapes, such as the Dragon-shaped 'Borgs found in Japan.
