''Your hands are tied, your legs are strapped, a light shines in your eye
''You faintly see a razor's edge, you open your mouth to cry

Tip: When captured by a [[Mad Scientist]], don't expect to be left alone in the dungeon. In fact, don't even expect to ''see'' the dungeon. Odds are, you'll be hauled into the lab for immediate experimentation, and strapped to the operating table. Heaven help you if [[They Would Cut You Up]].

* In ''[[Soul Eater]]'', Professor Stein ironically ends up like this in a later arc while he is going insane.
Line 27:
* Integra Hellsing from ''[[Hellsing]]'' is trapped by [[Big Bad]] Incognito on a cross-shaped table in the last episode of the Gonzo anime series.
* ''[[Gundam Seed Destiny]]'' features a less villainous version of this: Stellar is bound to the operating table by her captors, but that's largely due to the fact that she's a chemotherapy-altered biological weapon engineered by her masters; not only is she dying from not being administered the highly-illegal chemicals that are keeping her alive, she's fighting tooth and nail to kill the doctors - technically her enemy - who are trying futilely to save her.
* ''[[Gundam Wing]]'': In Episode 2, Heero Yuy is strapped down after being captured. His response? He lowers his own pulse to make it seem like he's still unconscious and almost manages to break through his bonds, leaving a bloody mess. (Keep in mind, he's 15...) What's confusing is the fact that he's lying there for God-knows-how-long with an open bullet wound that's bleeding out, meaning the medics actively had to remove the bandage [[Lonely Rich Kid|Relena]] [[Clothing Damage|made from a scrap of her party dress]]. When Relena visits later, she even [[What the Hell, Hero?|demands to know why he's tied down like that]]; [[The Medic|Sally Po]] says they're trying to keep him from hurting himself further.

* Eve from ''[[Black Cat (manga)|Black Cat]]''.
* Vivio of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', after being recaptured by the [[Big Bad]]. Agito as well, although ironically she's ''saved'' by the [[Big Bad]]. Well, his minions, anyway.

* Happens to a few hapless souls who fall foul of ''The Un-Men''.
* [[Desolation Jones]] goes through this as part of a horrifying experiment of which he is the sole survivor.
