== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Angel Beats!]]'', this move becomes the subject of an entire episode, as it {{spoiler|is the move Yui always wanted to perform on someone ever since seeing it on TV when she was alive (but could never do) and doing so ends up being her final request}}.
* ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]'' uses the German suplex once on the Vice Principal of the school.
* [[Hajime no Ippo|Mamoru Takamura]] knocked out [[Butt Monkey|Aoki]] with a German suplex. It was only partially successful as he slipped and hit his head on the floor.
* In [[Seto no Hanayome]], Nagasumi does this to ''a shark''.
* From Cinnabar Gym onward, Ash's Charizard of ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' has won all of its major battles by way of [[Spinning Piledriver|Seismic Toss]]. Well...there was that one time it won a battle with an improvised move: ''[[Incendiary Exponent|Flaming]]'' Seismic Toss!
* Kaname performs one of these on Sousuke in ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]? Fumoffu!'' during one of her over-the-top [[Tsundere]] rages at him. One of the characters labels it by name.
* A Hakubi family tradition, it seems; Washu is shown performing one on Dark Washu, and Ryoko's gone for her share, in the [[Tenchi Muyo!]] manga episodes.
* In ''[[Nichijou]]'', the principal fights a deer in the schoolyard ([[Makes Just as Much Sense in Context|don't ask]]) and ultimately subdues it with a suplex (pictured above).

== [[Film]] ==
* In the second ''[[Blade]]'' movie, the titular hero just got his ass kicked and most of the blood in his body drained out, and happens to be a hallway away from a giant fountain/waterfall of the stuff (he IS in the hideout of the [[Big Bad]] vampire of the movie.) Cue a dive that not only heals him but supercharges him for a while, and he now easily takes out the entire horde of [[Mook|familiars]] that had taken him down before, and ends with - of course - a suplex. Bonus points for holding the guy vertically in the air while staring down [[The Dragon|Reinhart]] before dropping the poor guy.
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 38:
* ''[[Kinnikuman|Kinnikuman Generations]]'' has a tag team suplex, capable of knocking out both opponents at once.
* [[Kirby]] gains access to the German Suplex through his Suplex and Backdrop abilities, and it immediately kills any [[Mooks]] in his grasp.
* In [[Live a Live]], this is the one of the techniques the Wrestler Character can learn from battle in his chapter or gain by leveling up in the final chapter.
* In ''[[SagaSaGa Frontier]]'', the Suplex is a basic martial arts move, and it can be combined into the DSC which is capable of killing almost anything except bosses.
* In the [[Romancing SaGa]] remake you can suplex anyone if you know the technique, even the [[Final Boss]], it deals quite a bit of damage and can possibly stun the target (Enemy cannot act that turn).
* [[Street Fighter|Zangief]], being a RUSSIAN WRESTLER is a master of the suplex.
** ''[[Dead Rising]]'', being a Capcom game, gives a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Street Fighter]]'' by allowing Frank West to perform certain moves, including Zangief's suplex, which kills any zombie.
** Alex from Street Fighter III has a [[Limit Break|Super Art]] that involves five back-to-back suplexes [[Back Stab|if you grab their back first.]] In ''[[TatsunokovsTatsunoko vs. Capcom]]'', his suplexes are one of the few grabs that work against [[Humongous Mecha]].
* ''[[God Hand]]'' has an action command suplex for certain enemies. For regular mooks this is instant death, elites not so much but still rather effective.
** Additionally, if you kill someone with it, you completely bury their head in the ground. Even if the floor is solid stone or metal.
* ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' had Leon being able to apply a lethal Northern Lights suplex which could cause Instant Death on some enemies.
** Instant ''[[Your Head Asplode|head-exploding]]'' death.
* Nero from ''[[Devil May Cry]] 4'' can do suplexes as [[Red Right Hand|Devil Bringer]] [[Grievous Harm with a Body|special moves]] on certain enemies -- bothenemies—both normal suplex, and [[Shout-Out|Zangief's Final Atomic Buster]].
* ''[[No More Heroes]]'' allows the player to perform wrestling moves (the majority of them being different suplex variants) on stunned enemies, including bosses. This is usually followed by [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill|Travis' beam katana falling on the fallen enemy.]]
** Not only do you learn progressively cooler and cooler suplexes, but each boss has a difficult to set up ''custom boss suplex''. Except the [[Disc One Final Boss]], who is immune to grabs.
Line 55:
* ''[[Final Fight]]'' lets you do this as Haggar to various mooks.
* ''[[Suikoden]]'''s Kasumi is able to do this to pretty much every single enemy in the game. I think there's one where she uses a normal slash instead.
** Other characters throughout the series who possess the "Shrike Rune" can do this move, too.
* Ralf of [[King of Fighters]] had suplexes to finish some moves. His partner, Clark, was a grappler and had even more, with some suplex finishers having an elbow drop finisher.
* In the [[Conan]] game for [[PlayStationPlay Station 3]], the Cimmerian can learn the 'Warrior Suplex'.
* In ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'', Kanbe can pull a variation of the Final Atomic Buster as well. With proper timing, he can add in up to 10 suplexes before finishing off with a piledriver.
* Batman has one of these as a counter-move in [[Arkham City]]. Why? Because he's Batman
* A recent video released for [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]] Patch v1.5 shows that a suplex will be a new added finisher move for Unarmed kills.
