When someone is badly injured and you need to get that across, show him post-accident partly or completely encased in plaster casts and/or bandages. Usually, they'll be in a hospital bed, with maybe one or two arms or legs suspended, and completely immobilised.
Line 25:
* Spike in the ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' episode "Pierrot le Fou" after being trashed by the title character. [[Lampshaded]] by Faye.
** Also after he fell out of a window in "Ballad of Fallen Angels".
* Played for comedy in ''[[The Slayers]]''; Zolf, a.k.a. the "Mummy Man" in the first season of the television series and Naga in the first episode of the [[The Slayers|Slayers Excellent]] [[OVA|OVAs]]s.
* [[The Social Darwinist|Shishio Makoto]] of [[Rurouni Kenshin]] is covered head-to-toe in bandages. His un-bandaged visage is [[Mr. Fanservice|surprisingly attractive]]... for someone who was [[Rasputinian Death|shot and burned alive and survived]].
** It gets a [[Shout-Out]] in ''[[Busou Renkin]]'', from the same author, in which at one point Mahiro bandages Tokiko so much she ends up looking like Shishio.
Line 33:
* Isamu in ''[[Macross Plus]]'' after a crash while flight-testing one of the experimental Veritechs.
* An early episode of the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime ("Ignorance is Blissey") has a Blissey wrapping most of Ash's body in bandages, then he turns around to a Nurse Joy who screams at the sight of him.
* Mr. Shinuhe from ''[[Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service]]''-- who—who may be a revivified Egyptian mummy, or just a burn victim who knows way too much about ancient Egyptian burial customs for comfort. He seems to enjoy teasing our heroes with evidence either way.
* Played for comedic effect multiple times in [[Ranma ½|Ranma 1/2]].
* Usopp in ''[[One Piece]]'', after the fight with Mr. 4 and Ms. Merry Christmas, in which he, among other injuries, is grabbed, smashed through some walls and hit with a four-ton bat, sending him flying into the air and falling to earth.
