They Would Cut You Up: Difference between revisions

* In the early episodes of ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', this is part of the reason (along with imprisonment and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|potential traffic accidents]]) why the alien frogs are not allowed to go out on their own, at least before they develop their [[Mobile Suit Human|Mobile Suit Humans]].

* In the ''[[Excel Saga (manga)|Excel Saga]]'' manga, this happening to [[Death Is Cheap|Hyatt]] is one of many reasons Excel is nervous about health care providers.

** She needn't worry though, because {{spoiler|it turns out her brother wasn't there -- the Lemures fished him out to use as a bargaining chip}}.

* ''[[Tsukihime]]'': {{spoiler|In her backstory, Ciel}} was subjected to a ''very'' thorough "examination" after [[The Church]] discovered her bizarre ability to automatically, completely regenerate from any injury. No matter what they did, she just wouldn't die, but that didn't stop them from trying over and over again. In her route in the game, she attempts to kill Shiki {{spoiler|after he is possessed by Roa}} to keep him from suffering the same fate.

*** Let's hope they never get their hands on [[Fate/stay night|Shirou]].

* In ''[[Utawarerumono]]'', {{spoiler|Hakurou}} takes his [[Petting Zoo People|Petting Zoo Person]] girlfriend and runs, not wanting this to happen to her. {{spoiler|[[Squick|He]]}} {{spoiler|[[Tear Jerker|fails]].}}

** She then lives and falls in love with one of the scientists who did the work, and it's implied that she even works for the organization {{spoiler|even after she learns they're holding her head}}.

* Tessla in the ''[[Trigun]]'' manga didn't have a chance to run away. Her life and death make up Vash and Knives' [[Dark and Troubled Past|tragic]] [[Backstory]].

* Subverted and justified in [[Digimon Tamers]]: the local Men In Black's leader Yamaki has an all-consuming hatred for Digimon, and really ''would'' cut them up. At one point, he sadistically destroys a Digimon on-screen over the mon's pleas for mercy. Takato worries about this for Guilmon and at one point imagines the army brutally gunning down his dinosaur buddy. {{spoiler|Yamaki eventually sees the error of his ways, at which point the Tamers stop caring about keeping their Digimon hidden.}}

* Dr Ni has expressed his interest in research of the slightly odd characteristics of the youkai-ness of most of the sanzo party in ''[[Saiyuki]]'' given who this is I think it'd be safe to assume this research wouldn't be pleasant

* In ''[[Witchblade (anime)|Witchblade]]'' at some point the wielder was captured and examined, but it turned out that while she was kept sedated, they won't dare to do anything that could look for Witchblade like an attempt to harm or remove its host (it can mince heavy machinery in an eyewink even ''against'' her will) before killing her outright. Manga, on the other hand, contained flashbacks about [[Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke|genetic]] experimentation with demon remnants as a source for creation of [[Super Soldier|Super Soldiers]] ([[Turned Against Their Masters|this didn't end well]]).

* Referenced in ''[[Chrono Crusade]]'', when the [[Church Militant|Magdalan Order]] approaches [[Blessed with Suck|Joshua]] about joining them so they can help him learn to use his powers better, his sister Rosette tries to convince him not to by telling him they'll perform experiments on him and "[[People Jars|pickle you in formaldehyde!]]" Joshua's response is just to laugh and tell her she reads too many books. (And she doesn't seem to believe it anyway, she just [[Don't Split Us Up|doesn't want them to take Joshua away from her]].)
