The government needs a badass special operator for a suicide mission no sane person would undertake. So they recruit a suitably trained prisoner for the job. How do you ensure that the prisoner will cooperate and not kill you and head for the hills as soon as their cell door is opened? You attach a bomb to them. This is a common means of ensuring that people do things they normally would not do because of common sense or other factors. While there are occasions where the bomb is physically implanted, it is usually in the form of a Slave Collar locked around the person's neck. The collar can have a detonator operated by the mission controller. It can be on a timer giving the operator a strict time limit within which to accomplish the mission. Or it can be triggered by proximity to a detonating device placed to prevent their escape. It isn't always for a government mission that this method of control is used. Explosive collars can keep prisoners from wandering off. They can make friends kill each other. They can make law-abiding people commit crimes. The collar is always accompanied by a promise to remove it once certain conditions have been met, but there's never a guarantee. See also Why Am I Ticking?, Strapped to a Bomb, Boxed Crook, and Your Head A-Splode. For non-exploding examples, consider a Restraining Bolt, Slave Collar, or Shock Collar. Sometimes the last trope can overlap with this one. |

Vladimir Harkonnen does this to captive Thufir Hawat in Dune by poisoning him in such a way that he is fine as long as he takes an antidote every few days. Somewhat atypically, Hawat is never told about this. Hawat regularly scans his food, accurately assuming the Harkonnens will try to screw him over in some way, but since the antidote is not harmful it is never detected. | |

An unusual self-inflicted example appears in the Sten series. Long ago, the Eternal Emperor implanted himself with a Judgement Device that would constantly monitor his thoughts and explode if he was ever brainwashed or went insane. Of course, being Immortal, he did so with the expectation that he'd get better afterwards. | |

Gold Key published several issues of a comic book based on the TV series The Man from U.N.C.L.E.. In one issue, "The Pixilated Puzzle Affair", Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuryakin were held captive on an island prison colony where all the prisoners had explosive pedometer-like devices attached to their ankles. Each prisoner was permitted a specific number of strides per day; if any prisoner tried to walk or run beyond the permitted distance, his device exploded. | |

In Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, a bunch of people are trapped somewhere with no escape, equipped with bracelets loaded with both a sleeping drug that is administered at regular intervals and a poison to execute them should they pull a specific Forbidden Action, and forced to play a Deadly Game. The person who manages to free the remaining survivors (Juzo Sakakura) must cut off the arm where his bracelet is before shutting down the whole system, and dies of blood loss for it. Plus someone else (Kyoko Kirigiri) manages to cheat out the system by secretly retrieving an antidote that one of the victims had been working on and then breaking the rules to protect the person most important to her (Makoto Naegi); she almost dies for it. | |

In Batman: Arkham Knight, Riddler has placed an explosive necklace on Catwoman, using the threat of it to force Batman to complete various challenges; and each challenge completed allows you to disarm one of the bombs. Various mooks comment that pissing her off is a terrible idea, and they're proven right when she returns to help Batman defeat him. Then in the DLC "Catwoman's Revenge", she robs him blind and destroys his resources, leaving him with nothing. In an interesting variation, one Arkham Militia soldier will wear a suicide vest, designed to detonate if he's knocked unconscious. Given Batman's rule, he boasts this will leave Batman unable to touch him. Batman promptly breaks through a wall, disarms the bomb, and knocks him out. Oh well. | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: In the first season, a secret organization (Centipede, a subsidiary of HYDRA) equips some of their operatives with bionic eyes that explode if they're captured or turn rogue. In the third season, after the discovery that Hive can brainwash Inhumans, Coulson needs Lincoln's help to rescue Daisy from said brainwashing, but Lincoln is an Inhuman himself. Coulson equips Lincoln with a nanothermite vest that can be detonated if he gets taken, and gives the remote the May. Both Lincoln and May chew him out for this, especially since he's willing to risk a lot more to get their target back alive. Coulson eventually agrees that he's gone too far, and grounds Lincoln entirely rather than forcing him to wear the vest. These are used once again when they go after Hive after Daisy is recused. The Inhumans are now happy to be wearing them after seeing what happened to Daisy. |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann does it with the Gurren Lagann itself — Simon was scheduled to be executed, but he still had to kick some alien butt before it reached the city, so he asked Rossiu to have his Humongous Mecha packed with explosives.

Guilty Gear: In his first appearance, Potemkin's collar is an explosive collar that will detonate and kill him if it's removed, as he's a slave of the nation of Zepp. The tyrannical government is overthrown by the end of the game, at which point the bomb is defused. Potemkin, now the Number Two of President Gabriel of Zepp, continues to wear it anyway, both as a Power Limiter and as a reminder of what he's fighting for. | |

A variation is used in Escape from New York to motivate Snake into performing his mission. This version takes the form of two tiny explosives implanted in the neck that are just large enough to fatally open his arteries when they go off, which will happen when their coatings dissolve in about 24 hours. Snake has that much time to find the President and bring him back; if he succeeds, his captors will neutralize the implants. | |

Mobile Suit Gundam 00's sidestory manga use explosive collars on criminals "drafted" into Celestial Being's sister organization, Fereshte. While the collared individuals are given more freedom than most examples of this trope, the collar is never intended to be removed, though rare exceptions are made, such as when one got married to a member of the groups, said ex-collared member was a woman named Marlene Vlady, the mother of Bridge Bunny Feldt Grace.). Also, anyone who doesn't believe in Celestial Being's Ideology has a leash put on. And for Fon Spaak, the protagonist of 00F, has his bomb activated during a fight with the Trinities. He survives mostly through sheer determination. | |

Cyborg 009 uses this with a spin. Shinichi Ibaraki, Mary Onodera and Masaru Oyamada were not only forcibly turned into Cyborgs, but they got bombs implanted within their bodies as a way to keep them under control in their mission. Said mission was to kill their former True Companion Joe Shimamura aka 009; when they cannot bring themselves to do it, the bombs are activated, and the three kids die. | |

In The World God Only Knows, Keima gets a collar after inadvertently making a contract with Elsee, a minor demon, to capture wayward spirits. Elsee doesn't go into detail on what would happen if Keima disobeys, apart from an ominous "you'll lose your head". Elsee has a collar as well, and if Keima's goes off, so does hers, so she's got a vested interest in making sure he follows through. This applies to the other demon-human buddy pairs as well. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-076 wears one of these. It's been activated several times: since 076 has Resurrective Immortality, killing him is merely a means to temporarily stop him if he goes on a rampage. Anyone using an artifact which could make the wielder a danger to the Foundation if they defected is fitted with an explosive collar before being given the artifact, with the collar being removed once the artifact is returned. One example is SCP-865 ("The Gentleman's Lash") |

Martial Law had the second season premiere episode, "Sammo Blammo". Sammo gets knocked out and wakes up in the back of a car wearing a bomb vest. The guy who built the vest (played by Armin Shimerman) tells Sammo the bomb will go off in 8 hours unless he does his bidding (tracking down the mastermind of a bank heist he took part in where he was the only one who got caught). For good measure, the bomb will also go off if Sammo stops moving for more than a few seconds (the bomb vest beeps if he stops and if it beeps four times, it will go off). | |

In the sequel, Virtue's Last Reward, the nine participants of this Nonary Game have bracelets loaded with two drugs that get injected if they break a rule or if their point total falls to 0 or less: a powerful anesthetic that will put them to sleep, and a powerful muscle relaxant that will make them unable to breathe. The second one gets injected nine minutes after the first, and the first is only there at all as an act of mercy, so that the injected person doesn't suffer as they suffocate to death. | |

Eventually, he gets a copy of the chip's remote, which allows Sento to scramble the chip's signal, effectively disarming it. | |

In Wedlock (a.k.a. Deadlock), pairs of prisoners are fitted with explosive collars. They can be detonated on command, and explode automatically if the two prisoners get too far away from each other. The kicker being you didn't know who your collar was paired with, so all the prisoners would spend more time keeping eyes on each other instead of planning escapes... it didn't work. |

Sprawl Trilogy: Neuromancer: Wintermute repairs Case's nerve damage that prevented him accessing the matrix, but also implants sacs of the same toxin that wrecked his nervous system in the first place that will dissolve unless he helps it break loose of its' hardware restrictions. When Case goes to the Finn for a body scan he sarcastically asks if he's paranoid about cortex bombs. Count Zero: Cortex bombs is mentioned as a potential complication to an extraction mission, but the current trend for keeping key personnel loyal is to get them addicted to something with lethal withdrawal symptoms that's administered by a modified insulin pump. |

When the mark is first introduced, Belkar laments the fact that they placed it on his head instead of on a body part he could just cut off. | |

Crusade: Max Eilseron uses one of these on a Loan Shark, a rather literal case of Applied Phlebotinum, since the collar is fired from a gun and seems to form itself around the victim's neck at high velocity, forming into a seamless tamper-proof explosive collar. He does this to get the guy to stay away from Max's ex-wife. Not because he was particularly fond of her, but because the guy was holding their cat hostage. The safe return of the cat was also part of the deal. | |

Fallout: New Vegas: Caesar's Legion fits their captures and slaves with explosive collars. The collars eventually come off when the slaves have been broken from the notion of trying to rebel or run away. One sidequest has you liberating a family of Legion captives wearing these collars. If you attempt to enter their base without Veronica, the Brotherhood of Steel test your loyalty by fitting you with a bomb collar and dealing with an NCR Ranger that's set up camp nearby. There's a concentration camp in Old World Blues where the now-ghoulified original inmates are wearing bomb collars that will go off if they try to chase you out of the camp. One of the guards entries at that same internment camp commented that the collars being used there were a new model the scientist had developed to aid corporations with "Employee compliance issues." Father Elijah tested and modified the collars he used in Dead Money in a shack near the camp. Father Elijah fits the player and three other characters with explosive collars in Dead Money to ensure that they will cooperate with him for his heist of the Sierra Madre. He also makes it a point to link the leashes to ensure that you won't get greedy and backstab each other. Unfortunately, the inferior quality of the collars means their detonators are sensitive to the deteriorated speakers and radios playing all over the DLC, so most of the DLC is spent either creeping slowly trying to find speakers (which set off the collar after about 20 seconds) or running to hopefully run out of range. |

Batman: Arkham Series: Batman: Arkham City: The Riddler fashions a bunch of these in his final, most diabolical challenge. Batman makes sure to repay him in kind. The bombs are of course disabled... but no one tells the Riddler that. In Batman: Arkham Knight, Riddler has placed an explosive necklace on Catwoman, using the threat of it to force Batman to complete various challenges; and each challenge completed allows you to disarm one of the bombs. Various mooks comment that pissing her off is a terrible idea, and they're proven right when she returns to help Batman defeat him. Then in the DLC "Catwoman's Revenge", she robs him blind and destroys his resources, leaving him with nothing. In an interesting variation, one Arkham Militia soldier will wear a suicide vest, designed to detonate if he's knocked unconscious. Given Batman's rule, he boasts this will leave Batman unable to touch him. Batman promptly breaks through a wall, disarms the bomb, and knocks him out. Oh well. |

Soul Eater: Early on, Medusa put snakes inside Eruka and would kill her in a heartbeat if she disobeyed (having actually killed Mizune, who she similarly infected, to demonstrate). Much later, when Eruka's made to help Spartoi access the Book of Eibon, she gets a bomb strapped to her neck. Harvar is unnervingly matter-of-fact when pointing out she will be killed if she tries anything. She was actually threatened from both simultaneously, only surviving because she was lucky enough to not be given contradictory orders. | |

Neuromancer: Wintermute repairs Case's nerve damage that prevented him accessing the matrix, but also implants sacs of the same toxin that wrecked his nervous system in the first place that will dissolve unless he helps it break loose of its' hardware restrictions. When Case goes to the Finn for a body scan he sarcastically asks if he's paranoid about cortex bombs. | |

SPY×FAMILY: The Red Circus hijack two Eden Academy buses and take hostages. After some of the hostages try to leave a message behind, the leader Billy Squire puts an explosive collar on Anya and threaten to detonate it if anyone does anything suspicious, tries to escape, or attempts to remove the collar. However, Anya's telepathy immediately reveals to her the bomb's a fake, and its apparent danger to everyone else becomes a somewhat grisly source of comic relief (e.g. Anya smacking the collar to shock her classmates; Billy casually sticking another one on Damian after he sticks up for Anya). | |

Dungeons & Dragons features the spell Mark of Justice, which inflicts a curse on the subject if they ever do whatever it was you told them not to do when you cast it. As the name implies, it's normally used to prevent criminal behavior, but it can be used for anything. One suggested use is to give it to a Fallen paladin who is on a quest to earn an atonement spell. In the Kingdoms of Kalamar D&D setting, the plague-worshiping cult of the Rotlord ensures the loyalty of its acolytes by infecting them with lethal diseases that only their superiors in the sect can cure. When an acolyte is on the verge of succumbing, they must provide their superior with evidence that they've done their job (mostly by infecting others). If they've done their work well enough, they're cured of that disease and afflicted with a new one. |

In Ratchet: Deadlocked, all contestants of the DreadZone show, including Ratchet, Clank and Al, are fitted with one of these called a Deadlock Collar. Straying into a restricted area will cause the wearer to be electrocuted, whilst behaving unco-operatively or worse, boring, will cause the collar to blow their heads off (both actions can also be done on command). This factors into gameplay as well; if during the co-op mode the two players stray too far from each other, a timer will start for 15 seconds for them to get closer together. If they don't, they lose a bit of weight in the upper body area. | |

Bob and George: A subversion occurs. Dr. Wily retrieves Bob from The White Space in order to force him to program Zero. Since The White Space can create any illusion one could wish for, Bob is enraged that Wily would remove him from his imaginary harem of volleyball players. Hence Wily tells Bob that the cage is rigged to blow should Bob use his fire powers, and the only way out is to first don a new helmet that is rigged to blow should Bob defy him. Bob instantly agrees to wear the "leash." Later on it is revealed that the explosives were all a lie, and Bob wouldn't have been hurt by a bomb anyway. Bob was not amused, and only didn't kill Wily because he claimed he found the way to get him back home. | |

Battle Tendency: Joseph manages to keep the Pillar Men from killing him with a Scheherezade Gambit, saying that if they give him one month to train he'll become more than a match for them. Wamuu accepts, but to ensure that Joseph can't welsh on the deal he implants a "deadly wedding ring" around Joseph's aorta that will constrict and kill him within 30 days, with the antidote being contained in one of Wamuu's piercings. Wamuu's ally Esidisi decides that this sounds fun and declares that he wants in on the deal, putting his own ring inside Joseph. He does manage to defeat both opponents and rids himself of the rings. | |

They don't explode, but the Kor mak bracelets from Stargate SG-1 work in a similar fashion. One is worn by the prisoner and one is worn by the guard. If the two are more than a hundred feet from each other BOTH parties get sick and die. This system would both prevent the prisoner from escaping, and kill the guard for failure. | |

In Earthsong, Big Bad Belousous keeps his minions in line by infusing part of their soulstones with his own element. This forces anyone who'd be squeamish about working for him to comply because he can use that fragment to kill them, and he uses it to inflict pain even on willing minions who are pissing him off in some way. This is why Haven's Guard is always in such a rush to find new arrivals and prevent Belousous from infecting them. | |

In Batman: Assault on Arkham, members of the Suicide Squad have explosive implants put in their heads to keep them from rebelling. Amanda Waller dares them to call her bluff; KGBeast tries and, well... In fact, the Squad is sent into Arkham to get their hands on the Riddler, who knows how to fry said chips, which is why Waller wants him dead. Riddler offers to rescue them from Waller if they'll spare his life; Waller catches on partway through and trips the bombs; King Shark dies because his tough skin kept him from receiving the full electric shock required to short out the chip. Black Spider is unaffected despite the fact that he hadn't undergone the procedure yet; that tips the villains off to the fact that he's actually Batman, having stolen Spider's costume. Spider (in Batman's costume) blows up in front of a stunned Joker. | |

Streets of Rogue: All slavesnote Yes, slavery is legal in the city, but sufficiently ''many'' people hate it have bomb collars by default. If they die before you kill their master, the slave explodes with a 30 HP explosion about two seconds laternote During late-game, some collars will explode because you killed their master. There's a special item that can disable the bomb collar, but you can also assassinate the master to automatically disable all collars, or you can just purchase the slave and free them yourself. The Slavemaster player class has the power to enslave anyone they taser into submission, turning them into walking bombs with fists, but some slaves will mutiny despite the suicidal risk to themselves. | |

Although it was closer to "give them an excuse" to disable it than "convince them", as she actually had to convince them — more than once — to keep her a slave so she could better go unnoticed. |

After being too talkative on a dangerous topic in the wrong time she had her wrist wrapped in the bracelet supposed to snip her hand off if she divulged Coyote's secret to anyone during the vacation on his territory. It's obviously a part of object lesson, though he may or may not truly care about a disclosure as well. But at least it looks stylish.

In the Red Racer Factory, the Ghouls and Super Mutants have explosive chips implanted in their heads. Using a certain terminal to "Disable Chips" makes all their heads asplode. Fallout: New Vegas: Caesar's Legion fits their captures and slaves with explosive collars. The collars eventually come off when the slaves have been broken from the notion of trying to rebel or run away. One sidequest has you liberating a family of Legion captives wearing these collars. If you attempt to enter their base without Veronica, the Brotherhood of Steel test your loyalty by fitting you with a bomb collar and dealing with an NCR Ranger that's set up camp nearby. There's a concentration camp in Old World Blues where the now-ghoulified original inmates are wearing bomb collars that will go off if they try to chase you out of the camp. One of the guards entries at that same internment camp commented that the collars being used there were a new model the scientist had developed to aid corporations with "Employee compliance issues." Father Elijah tested and modified the collars he used in Dead Money in a shack near the camp. Father Elijah fits the player and three other characters with explosive collars in Dead Money to ensure that they will cooperate with him for his heist of the Sierra Madre. He also makes it a point to link the leashes to ensure that you won't get greedy and backstab each other. Unfortunately, the inferior quality of the collars means their detonators are sensitive to the deteriorated speakers and radios playing all over the DLC, so most of the DLC is spent either creeping slowly trying to find speakers (which set off the collar after about 20 seconds) or running to hopefully run out of range. |

The movie adaption of The Running Man has explosive collars fitted to the prisoners at the labor camp where Schwarzenegger's character is detained. Of course, one guy makes a run for it before the system is fully disabled, and Ludicrous Gibs ensue. Notably, however, they're only able to disable the remote trigger system itself and need to find other means of removing the still-very-explosive collars themselves (which can still be inadvertedly activated if fiddled with). | |

Originally "The Stick", as it was affectionately known, was an explosive bracelet slapped to the wrist of each squad member. However, they eventually figured out ways to disable the bracelets so Amanda Waller switched to implanting microbombs in their skulls. Later animated adaptations and the live-action film and its sequel use the latter. | |

Gundam: In Mobile Fighter G Gundam, the space pirate Argo Gulskii was persuaded to become Neo Russia's Gundam Fighter after his crew were captured, so to gain their freedom if he wins the Gundam Fight. He however is a prisoner for life, which means he must wear handcuffs all the time (which have an on-off switch), and has a bomb strapped to his chest. However, just before the final battle against the Devil Gundam, his 'prison warden' Nastasha Zabicov removes the handcuffs and the bomb against orders so he can fight freely. She also frees his friends while she's at it. Mobile Suit Gundam 00's sidestory manga use explosive collars on criminals "drafted" into Celestial Being's sister organization, Fereshte. While the collared individuals are given more freedom than most examples of this trope, the collar is never intended to be removed, though rare exceptions are made, such as when one got married to a member of the groups, said ex-collared member was a woman named Marlene Vlady, the mother of Bridge Bunny Feldt Grace.). Also, anyone who doesn't believe in Celestial Being's Ideology has a leash put on. And for Fon Spaak, the protagonist of 00F, has his bomb activated during a fight with the Trinities. He survives mostly through sheer determination. |

NCIS: Subverted in one episode. Gibbs wraps det-cord around a mob boss' son and rigs it to a Dead Man's Switch so that they won't shoot him. When the crisis is over, he walks away and drops the switch. Of course, nothing happens. A teenage boy holds his classmates hostage with a bomb strapped to his chest but it turns out he does not control the bomb. The bad guys sitting in a van nearby are telling him what to do and threatening him. |

Used during an episode of 1000 Ways to Die. The twist being the "victim", a bank robber, put in on himself and then lied to the people in the bank he's robbing, saying that he was forced into it and the leash will be detonated if he doesn't get the money. All goes well, until a cashier escapes and tries to open her car using a distance key that that works on a certain frequency. Cue the kaboom. | |

In an episode of Where on Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?, Carmen is captured and put under a Kangaroo Court for the theft of the Magna Carta, despite her claims that it's Not Me This Time. When Zack and Ivy convince the judge to let her accompany them while they hunt for evidence, Carmen is given a pair of handcuffs that will explode if she tries to remove them or fails to return within 24 hours. Ultimately subverted; the moment Zack and Ivy learn that the Magna Carta hadn't actually been stolen, Carmen effortlessly removes the cuffs, reveals the "judge" as one of her henchmen, and thanks the kids for leading her right to the Magna Carta's hiding place. | |

Saw III features an explosive collar made with shotgun shells placed around Dr. Lynn Denlon's neck, set to explode if Jigsaw (who is bedridden with terminal cancer) dies, thereby forcing her to keep him alive. It goes off when her husband, not knowing about this trigger, slashes Jigsaw's throat as revenge for all he put them through. It's also possible she was screwed either way, since the collar was made by Amanda, whose traps were all inescapable and the key Amanda carried didn't fit the lock of the collar. | |

A favored tactic by various villians across Lupin III. In Stolen Lupin, one is put on a kidnapped Fujiko to force Lupin to do the whims of her captor. A similar one is later used on Girl of the Week Becky to force her to shoot Lupin or else she dies. Subverted in the former in that Fujiko was actually allied with the villain, so her necklace was a fake. In Goodbye Partner, the villian fits one to Alisa, a teenage piano prodigy, partially to keep her from escaping, but mostly so no one will dare kill him. If his pulse stops, the choker triggers and blows her head off. |

One Piece: The slave traders of Sabaody Archipelago keep their stock in collars that explode if anyone tries to remove them without the proper key. Unless, of course, the victim is Silvers Rayleigh and can pull it off quickly enough. Amazingly, they were not killed by the explosion (or being shot afterward), though they are immediately taken back into custody. There also exist versions to be put on the person's hands; this isn't necessarily lethal either, but it is enough to blow up the offender's hands to kingdom come. Vinsmoke Judge had some put around his son Sanji's hands to force him into going through his Arranged Marriage to Big Mom's daughter Pudding, since Sanji treasures his hands as being his tools for cooking. Worse, only Big Mom has the keys. Luckily, Sanji's sister Reiju was clever enough to put non-working cuffs on him. Queen of the Beasts Pirates developed a variant of the collar that uses blades instead of explosives. He uses them for a sumo wrestling Deadly Game used to execute defiant prisoners in their labor camp, with the collars being set to activate and decapitate their wearers should they get knocked out of the ring. As a demonstration of their lethality, he puts a collar around a stone pillar which gets broken in half by the blades springing forth. Kaido slapped a pair of exploding shackles made of Sea Prism Stone on his son/daughter Yamato, both to stifle Yamato's Devil Fruit powers and keep him from getting any ideas about escaping and joining La Résistance. Yamato isn't entirely sure if they really do explode or if Kaido's just bluffing, but when Luffy tries the same trick Rayleigh did in Sabaody they quickly learn he wasn't bluffing and Luffy isn't nearly as fast as Rayleigh yet (fortunately, both of them are Made of Iron and recovered quickly to take the fight to Kaido). |

You don't do what you're told, I twist this thing, three beeps, and it blows your arm off. If your not back at the Null Spire within three days, It'll blow your arm off." and so forth.later he is caught by his own explosive leash, when the boy is able to remove it, and pickpockets Grimjack to substitute the device for the detonator. Then of course he gives it a twist, which confuses Grimjack, who only realised his mistake three beeps later... | |

Splatoon 2's Octo Expansion has Agent 8 fitted with an explosive bag of cyan ink at the start of every test chamber. Some of the test chambers have particular rules, and if Agent 8 violates those rules (like losing an 8-ball, running out of time, or taking damage at any point), train conductor/test proctor C.Q. Cumber remotely detonates it with an unceremonious "Test Failed", and not even Mercy Invincibility can save you. Thankfully, Death Is a Slap on the Wrist even in-universe; it's just a way to get Agent 8 to the nearest respawn point, with Kamabo Co. happily gathering data from your failure (which your Mission Control can steal and alter to trick them into thinking you've succeeded if you so wish). But the frequency to which players will find themselves exploding still makes it creepy enough to earn C.Q. Cumber Memetic Psychopath status among the fanbase. | |

In Rebuild of Evangelion, Shinji gets one of these after his attempt to save Rei brings The End of the World as We Know It, set to go off either if he tries pulling that stunt again or by remote control carried by Misato. Kaworu is somehow able to remove it without setting it off and puts it on himself in order to earn Shinji's trust, only to die from it during the final battle. 3.0+1.0 reveals that Asuka also wears one under the neck of her plugsuit, the sight of which causes Shinji to have a flashback to Kaworu's death and throw up on the spot. Later in the movie, Shinji voluntarily agrees to be fitted with another collar. Asuka's own collar goes off during the final fight in a failed attempt to prevent her soul from being drawn into Unit 13, detonating just a second too late, while Shinji's own collar is harmlessly taken off and pocketed by Mari in the final scene. |

Superman verifies that he's telling the truth by checking his heart rate and other vitals and is forced to work the case with him. Seem out of character for Batman?

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Battle Tendency: Joseph manages to keep the Pillar Men from killing him with a Scheherezade Gambit, saying that if they give him one month to train he'll become more than a match for them. Wamuu accepts, but to ensure that Joseph can't welsh on the deal he implants a "deadly wedding ring" around Joseph's aorta that will constrict and kill him within 30 days, with the antidote being contained in one of Wamuu's piercings. Wamuu's ally Esidisi decides that this sounds fun and declares that he wants in on the deal, putting his own ring inside Joseph. He does manage to defeat both opponents and rids himself of the rings. Stone Ocean: Prisoners (including the heroes) volunteering for a job to find some other inmates who have gone missing in the swamp are outfitted with exploding armbands called "Like a Virgin" that detonate if they go too far from the guard looking after them. |

In X-Men: The Animated Series, Genoshan slavers outfitted a few of the X-Men and other mutant prisoners with power-suppressing Slave Collars and forced them to use their powers to build a dam. The collars just turned off their powers if they tried to escape but would explode if a prisoner tried to remove them. | |

Invader Zim actually had one of these as a skool [sic] hall-pass locked around the student's neck, which explodes if it leaves the school. Somehow, Zim takes it off and switches some kid's organ with it off-screen. The episodes ends with Zim still having all the organs, which implies the kid still has it inside his body without knowing and will be blown up from the inside as soon as he leaves. | |

Zero Escape: In Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, the Nonary Game has the participants kept in line by Zero, who forced them to swallow bombs that will activate when they pass through a numbered door. They then have 81 seconds to find the device that will deactivate the bombs and use it, but it will only work for the group of 3-5 people that used the device that opened the door. This is horrifyingly demonstrated by the 9th Man in the beginning after he tries to leave through a numbered door by himself, only to be reduced to a chunky paste since none of the people he threatened into opening the door entered with him to cancel the detonation countdown. Downplayed at the end when it's revealed that only Zero's targets had bombs in them as part of their revenge plan, with the majority of the cast under virtually no risk from the start. In the sequel, Virtue's Last Reward, the nine participants of this Nonary Game have bracelets loaded with two drugs that get injected if they break a rule or if their point total falls to 0 or less: a powerful anesthetic that will put them to sleep, and a powerful muscle relaxant that will make them unable to breathe. The second one gets injected nine minutes after the first, and the first is only there at all as an act of mercy, so that the injected person doesn't suffer as they suffocate to death. |

The modus operandi of the "Task Force X" a.k.a. the Suicide Squad, starting with Legends (DC Comics). In one issue, Captain Boomerang convinces Slipknot that they aren't real bombs, and encourages him to make a run for it... because he wanted to see for himself whether or not they were real. Seeing Slipknot's arm get blown off confirmed that they were. Originally "The Stick", as it was affectionately known, was an explosive bracelet slapped to the wrist of each squad member. However, they eventually figured out ways to disable the bracelets so Amanda Waller switched to implanting microbombs in their skulls. Later animated adaptations and the live-action film and its sequel use the latter. In one story, Waller states that everyone in Belle Reve has these. Not just the Squad, not even just the inmates. Everyone. Rick Flag has the trigger for hers. |

A variant of this trope happens in the SpongeBob SquarePants episode "The Other Patty". Mr. Krabs took measures of the security where all Krabby Patties explode at 10 feet beyond the Krusty Krab, which Plankton learns the hard way.

In the Warhammer 40,000 RPG Dark Heresy any character can be outfitted with an explosive collar, and Guardsmen can take one as part of their starting equipment to imply ex-membership in a Penal Legion. The Imperial Guard can field Penal Legions on their armies. Composed of the scum and deserters of the Imperium, they have explosive collars on their necks to keep them in line, and are usually send to suicidal mission with very few of them ever surviving. If any try to runaway or become to troublesome, the officers will activate their collars to blow their heads off. |

Doctor Who: "Revenge of the Cybermen": The Doctor, Lester, and Stevenson are sent by the Cybermen to destroy Voga, because its gold was being used to exploit the Cybermen's weakness. They're attached to harnesses that will cause an explosion if they try to remove it and can be detonated remotely if they try to go off course. Lester makes a Heroic Sacrifice by jumping on a Cyberman and undoing his harness. The Doctor later manages to disarm his own device. "Boom Town" has a downplayed example, with a dangerous prisoner kept close to the Doctor by means of a pair of handcuffs, one worn by him and the other worn by her, that will shock her if she gets too far away from him. He got them from Captain Jack Harkness. One of the early and more subtle hints that Jack used to be a not very nice person... "The Pandorica Opens": River Song coerces Dorium Maldovar to trade her a Vortex Manipulator by putting microexplosives into his drink, and then offering him a MacGuffin which would disarm them. "The Woman Who Fell to Earth": The Doctor, Yaz, Ryan, Graham and Grace all get implanted with DNA bombs by the villain's data coil (think electric spaghetti monster) as part of an attempt to eliminate all witnesses. "Flux Chapter 6: The Vanquishers": When the Doctor asks Karvanista to tell her about their time working together for "The Division", he tells her that they've implanted a poison injector into his brain that will kill him if he tells her anything about them. |

Maul: Lockdown: All inmates of the prison and gladiatorial arena Cog Hive Seven have electrostatic micro-charges implanted in their hearts that the guards can trigger at any time to cause death. This is their primary means of keeping prisoners in line given that the inmates otherwise have free run of most of the prison facilities and are universal hard cases who can at any time be called into a deathmatch with any other prisoner. In the end, as a means of cutting her losses, Warden Blirr triggers all the charges, which begin killing prisoners one at a time by number, longest-serving inmates first. Since Maul is a recent arrival he has time to find a way to deactivate his charges. | |

Blake's 7: In "Bounty", the crew of the Liberator are captured by Space Pirates who force them to wear explosive collars until they can be handed over to the Federation. Vila is able to remove Blake's, who used it moments later to blow up a guard. Then there's a Mexican Standoff between a character pointing a gun at the pirate leader, who's holding the activator to a leash worn by his own daughter. Fortunately, Blake intervenes and the pirate tries to activate Blake's collar instead, only he's removed it. In "Shadow", an Eldritch Abomination tries to use Orac to cross over from Another Dimension. To prevent this happening again, Avon puts an explosive charge in Orac that will detonate if it looks like the Master Computer is being tampered with. What Orac thinks about this is anyone's guess. |

In Deus Ex, this is how Anna and Gunther's killswitches work; say the Trigger Phrase and they'll stutter for a moment as their augs shut down before blowing up spectacularly. Nano-augmented agents like Paul and JC have a much more subtle killswitch, causing their nanites to replicate uncontrollably and pretty much turn into the Grey Death. More or less the same effect, if not as flashy. | |

The game Survival of the Fittest, in keeping with Battle Royale, the series that inspired it, has each of the "contestants" on the island fitted with an explosive collar that goes off if they try to leave the island or go into a danger zone. It also explodes if they try to remove the collar, making removal almost impossible. Damaging the collar enough, particularly by gunshot, is also enough to detonate them; two students died this way in v1. | |

Tales of Xillia has prisoners of Fort Gandala fitted with anklets. There are also magic seals throughout the fortress where even if a prisoner escapes a cell, they can't cross them to escape outside or the anklets will blow up and kill them. A villain is quick to demonstrate this. The anklet is put on Milla, Elize and Driselle when they're captured and thrown into the prison. Later, Milla chases the villain down and actually jumps through the seal, which shows the anklet itself doesn't blow up, but the seal shoots an explosion at the anklet remotely. Milla was traveling fast enough to evade it and attack... only for it to be revealed that the seal will do it again if the anklet isn't destroyed, which knocks Milla unconscious for a while and permanently disables her legs. | |

A (comparatively) light version appears in Deadman Wonderland, where all the prisoners are fitted with poisonous collars. The poison takes three days to kill the prisoners, in which time they have to be able to purchase the antidote candies. So, if they don't get the candies, they die. If they escape, they will have no way to get the candies, and die. | |

In The Starchild Trilogy by Frederik Pohl and Jack Williamson, political dissidents are fitted with explosive collars with undefined timers that need to be periodically "wound up" by the guard's key to renew the timer. Within the series, legend has it that the only way around the tamper mechanism is to detach the head, remove the collar, and sew the head back on. | |

The Batman (2022): One of the Riddler's targets, the corrupt district attorney, has one of these put around his neck. Riddler tells him and Batman that if he correctly answers three questions within two minutes, he'll tell the attorney the combination code to safely remove it. The attorney answers the first two questions with Batman's help, but he adamantly refuses to answer the last question ("who is the "rat"?"), because he knows his family would be put in danger, and is blown up. | |

Flashpoint: "Eagle Two"; the person under this codename that SRU Group One is protecting has one of these put on her, the people who did it claiming that if her husband publicly confesses to a crime he committed in the terrorists' home country years ago, it will be removed. If not... A more twisted version is used in the earlier episode "Planets Aligned", where a man who has kidnapped two girls puts a shock collar (the kind meant for training dogs) on their legs, telling them that if they leave the house, an underground wire will administer a lethal shock (it also gives a warning buzz if they get too close, reinforcing this idea). It's not made clear if he's telling the truth about the "lethal" part, but the SRU eliminate the wire before rescuing the girls. |

Elfen Lied does it with five-year-old Mariko Kurama. She actually has several explosive implants, located in different parts of her body, and the first time she misbehaves, they blow off one of her limbs as a 'warning shot'. They'll all go off at once if a specific code isn't transmitted every thirty minutes. This is because Mariko can kill people with her mind, and is so damaged and angry that she would probably drive humanity to extinction if she had half a chance. | |

Since it's Battle Royale: The Roleplaying Game in all but name, it's only natural that the kids of Highschool Deathmatch would have those. In their case, before the game begins they are each injected with nanomachines that both help the Supervisors locate them and track their health condition, and would extract materials from their bloodstream to construct a tiny bomb (just big enough to cause a fatal stroke) and blow it up in case they try to leave the battlefield, venture into a forbidden area, or if they're remotely triggered. One of the vital steps of any plan to "cheat the system" and escape involves finding some way of shutting the nanomachines, usually by finding a radio and the correct codes. | |

Mysterious Doctor Satan (1940 Film Serial). Dr. Satan has his agents wear a remote control device under their clothes that he uses to monitor their actions and electrocute them if he decides You Have Failed Me. In one chapter he attaches such a device along with a bomb to a Kidnapped Scientist and sends him to a colleague, threatening to detonate the bomb and kill them both if they don't comply with his demands. The hero arranges a Big Blackout of the entire city for thirty seconds so Dr. Satan's remote control panel will stop working long enough for him to remove the bomb. | |

He however is a prisoner for life, which means he must wear handcuffs all the time (which have an on-off switch), and has a bomb strapped to his chest. However, just before the final battle against the Devil Gundam, his 'prison warden' Nastasha Zabicov removes the handcuffs and the bomb against orders so he can fight freely. She also frees his friends while she's at it. | |

In AI: The Somnium Files, Date's AI-Ball Aiba sometimes threatens to explode while in his head if he goofs off too much, which is a real function she has mainly in the event she falls into enemy hands. However, both are True Companions who decide that it's too dangerous on its own, so they set up a two-layered password in case they need to do this where Date mentions a certain number, then tells a lie within a minute of the first event to give Aiba the all-clear. In the "Resolution" ending, Saito steals back his original body from Date and puts Aiba in his empty eyesocket thinking she's just a normal prosthetic, which bites him hard when he's got Hitomi at gunpoint and Date tearfully triggers the self-destruct, which reduces Saito's head to chunky paste but at the cost of Aiba's life (for now) since Aiba's online backups were being wiped which prevented her from just being rebuilt the next day with her personality and memories being restored. | |

In Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, the Nonary Game has the participants kept in line by Zero, who forced them to swallow bombs that will activate when they pass through a numbered door. They then have 81 seconds to find the device that will deactivate the bombs and use it, but it will only work for the group of 3-5 people that used the device that opened the door. This is horrifyingly demonstrated by the 9th Man in the beginning after he tries to leave through a numbered door by himself, only to be reduced to a chunky paste since none of the people he threatened into opening the door entered with him to cancel the detonation countdown. Downplayed at the end when it's revealed that only Zero's targets had bombs in them as part of their revenge plan, with the majority of the cast under virtually no risk from the start. | |

Viceroy's Pride: The Tellask control their human troops through use of a timing rune; if it isn't refreshed by an elf every month, the soldier dies. This is why all the human captives of the Viceroy's Pride died before they could communicate anything to Earth. Turns out the nanites have "discipline," "incapacitate," and "terminate" commands built in. Either wireless or verbal commands can be used to torture or kill anyone who has them. Turning off these functions is easy if you have admin access, which of course no one does until Sam gives it to Dan. |

Saw: Saw III features an explosive collar made with shotgun shells placed around Dr. Lynn Denlon's neck, set to explode if Jigsaw (who is bedridden with terminal cancer) dies, thereby forcing her to keep him alive. It goes off when her husband, not knowing about this trigger, slashes Jigsaw's throat as revenge for all he put them through. It's also possible she was screwed either way, since the collar was made by Amanda, whose traps were all inescapable and the key Amanda carried didn't fit the lock of the collar. Art Blank from Saw IV, another apparent villain in the series, turns out to have one, in the form of a device attached to his back that would sever his spinal cord at the neck if he doesn't follow Jigsaw's instructions for Rigg's test. |
