A character gets cut (or, less often, blown or ripped) in half, usually during combat but occasionally in an accident, building collapse or some other scenario. In real life, this would be incredibly bloody. In fiction, this can be done any number of ways, with any level of blood, from family-friendly versions like the battle droids in the Star Wars movies, to Nightmare Fuel-oriented ones that spare no detail. The cutting in half itself can be done either horizontally (at the waist, usually) or vertically (from scalp to groin, or vice versa), with the latter often occurring via Clean Cut. Expect it to be Bloody Hilarious if it occurs in a comedic setting. Naturally, this happens a lot in anime or video games that feature Humongous Mecha, and many series in general which use Mecha-Mooks, due to the fact that you can slice up mecha all you like without spraying blood everywhere (at least, not human blood). Expect a character who survives this to become a Memetic Badass; see Who Needs Their Whole Body?. A frequent result of a Single-Stroke Battle or a Diagonal Cut. See also Saw a Woman in Half, the trick performed by a Stage Magician. Not to be confused with the less literal meaning. Compare Impaled with Extreme Prejudice and Off with His Head!. For examples where the dismemberment happens after the character is dead see Dismembering the Body. Has absolutely nothing to do with The Beatles song "Yesterday", even though the name of the trope is taken from the lyrics, and should not be confused with I Can't Feel My Legs!, which is about losing function, not the actual parts of the body. Same holds true for the Stone Temple Pilots song "Creep", which has the same line in its chorus. Also has no relation to Was Once a Man. A character who can split in half whenever they wish is using Detachment Combat. This is usually a Death Trope, as you might think, so beware of unmarked spoilers! |

In Yousei, Dr. Johansen's body is found cut in half by the bell that crushed him. This becomes even more horrific when Kangai's kansei reveals that Johansen was still alive when Naoki and Aaron found him and that, given the time frame for the murder, he had to have been alive for at least several minutes after getting crushed before he finally succumbed to blood loss. | |

Worm: Taylor has most of her body below the waist incinerated by Scion, and only survives thanks to an Emergency Transformation. Bonesaw at one point is cut in half. She's more annoyed at how long it's going to take to find a new set of legs that match her than about the damage; she'd reinforced her body and set up enough redundancies that she was still mobile and using her spine as a third limb. |

This happens unsurprisingly often in the All Guardsmen Party: Nubby loses both legs to a swipe from a forcesword and has them replaced with augmetics. Sergeant Gravis gets bisected through the lungs by a Hive Tyrant's bonesword. He survives, though the party accidentally misplaces the crate holding his lower half. A few enemies get this treatment including a Khonate mutant that gets bisected by Cutter as well as the Heretek that takes down Cutter when the latter beats him in melee. |

Sluggy Freelance: Cindy is rendered "topless" in a most unpleasant way when one of the demon kittens slashes through her Made of Plasticine waist. This is actually one of the less gruesome deaths during the "KITTEN" Story Arc. There was also a non-lethal version of this trope involving (who else?) Riff building a portal generator and multiple people getting stuck in them up to their waists. |

This happens a lot in DEATH BATTLE!, often being the killing blow or a precursor to it: The first time this happens is in "Zits vs. Leonardo", with Leonardo slicing Zits in two for the kill. "Felicia vs. Taokaka" is similar: Felicia gets sliced in two by Taokaka. Then there's "Thor vs. Raiden", where Raiden gets his lower half obliterated by Mjolnir. Thor then finishes him by hurling him into the sun. "Shao Kahn vs. M. Bison" has Kahn literally ripping Bison in two. "Terminator vs Robocop" has this happen. Specifically, Terminator gets his lower half blasted off. This doesn't end the fight right away, though Terminator does end up losing anyway. "Tigerzord vs Gundam Epyon" ends this way — at least before the disembodied top half of the Mega Tigerzord explodes. In "Kirby vs. Majin Buu", Kirby slices Buu in half with the Ultra Sword, but due to Buu's incredible regenerative abilities, this accomplishes nothing and he puts himself together right away. In Beast vs. Goliath, the fight ends with Goliath tearing Beast in half. In Cammy White vs. Sonya Blade, this is the ultimate fate of Cammy. The vertical variety happens at the end of "Zoro vs. Erza" after a Single-Stroke Battle, with Erza on the receiving end. The vertical variety also happens in Metal Sonic vs. Zero, with Zero bisecting Metal Overlord vertically. In the ending of Sephiroth vs. Vergil, this is the ultimate fate of Vergil, who is sliced in two after Sephiroth's Super Nova overtaxes his healing factor. In "Jiraiya vs. Master Roshi", this trope is combined with Inertia Is a Cruel Mistress. The result? Jiraiya getting punched in half by an unconscious Master Roshi. "Ganondorf vs. Dracula" is another example. This time, after the Triforce of Power is overwhelmed, Dracula proceeds to quite literally tear a now-defenceless Ganondorf apart. "Leonardo vs. Red Ranger Jason" ends this way, with a dash of Defeat Equals Explosion, from the latter's series. Specifically, after breaking the Odachi, Jason bisects Leo, who then explodes. Then there's "Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Kakashi", which, similarly to "Zoro vs. Erza", ends with a Single-Stroke Battle. Kakashi's upper body then falls, courtesy of a clean cut from the Jedi's lightsaber. Yet again for the "Excalibur v. Raiden"). After several minutes of trading off hits, it finally ends with Excalibur's supercharged Slash Dash cutting Raiden in half, after which he explodes. |

A rare semi-physical example in the Callahan's Crosstime Saloon book Lady Slings the Booze: Arethusa might have started off as just Twin Telepathy, but grew into a case of Single-Minded Twins — one mind, two bodies — during her upbringing in a very strange cult. Because of this, her bodies are more 'right hand' and 'left hand', and when one dies at the climax, she feels literally cut in half, even losing her ability to play the piano. She does, though, recover as best she can by the end, and shows up elsewhere in the series after the closure of Lady Sally's Place. | |

RWBY: This is the sad fate of Penny Polendina, who is split in half Frieza-style when Pyrrha Nikos uses her Semblance of magnetism to push back a perceived wave of hundreds of wired-controlled swords, leading to the (real) wires wrapping around Penny and ripping her in half. Obviously happened to General Ironwood at some point since one side of his body is cybernetic. That he survived that long enough to become a cyborg says a lot. |

In Gardens of the Moon, book one of the Malazan Book of the Fallen series, the wizard Hairlock gets cut in half in the middle of a battle, and keeps himself alive briefly with magic. It turns out this has been planned for and he is waiting to complete a spell to transfer his soul into a little marionette. | |

Dreamscape: Happens twice in Episode 7. First is when Melinda turns into Ghost Melinda and slashes Keedran's serpentine body into pieces with her Sinister Scythe. This also doubles as Tongue Trauma, since she slices CHEN's tongue into pieces too. The second time is when she horizontally bisects Betty, but since she has a cybernetic lower-half, she feels no pain. | |

Homestuck: Feferi's dreamself got cut in half by Jack Noir shortly before the destruction of her session's Derse. Tavros' dreamself (on that session's Prospit, which fares no better) is soon afterward revealed to have been slaughtered in the same way. When Kanaya returns as a rainbow drinker, she chainsaws Eridan, who originally killed her, in half. Even before the death of his dreamself, Kanaya did Tavros the favor of chainsawing off his legs so that they could be replaced with robot prosthetics. And as of Act 6 Intermission 3 this is the ultimate fate of Gamzee courtesy of an enraged Kanaya. In fact, this appears to be the only way to kill Gamzee, as during his appearance in Caliborn's Masterpiece, he ends up bisected again with no apparent explanation. |

Everworld has a darkly humorous version where the group encounters a bunch of satyrs. Alcohol-Induced Idiocy ensues, and one of the satyrs finds himself split in half... and the only thing that disturbs him is that he can't hold his wine anymore (he doesn't have organs or blood either, just sort of sketches). The bottom half-a-satyr just keeps trundling alongside them, occasionally falling over, and is eventually exchanged by Christopher for entry into the fairy city. | |

In Hard Eight, the eighth volume of the Stephanie Plum series, the heroine returns home and finds a Dead Guy on Display on her sofa. When she asks her detective boyfriend how the killers got the body there without being noticed, the detective grimaces and says she's probably lucky she didn't look too closely at the body's waistline: the corpse was sawed in half at the waist - probably with some kind of industrial cutter - and the pieces were carried up separately and duct-taped back together inside the apartment. Stephanie has to struggle mightily not to throw up. | |

In Despair Island, a dark reimagining of Total Drama, contestants who have been voted off are killed in front of their team-mates. In the case of best friends Katie and Sadie, this involves them being sawn in half. (This is not a double elimination. Sadie is the first of the two girls to die, leaving Katie grief-stricken. When it's her turn for the chop, Katie tries to attack Chris (the host) but is quickly overpowered. Chris then orders that she be subjected to the same fate as Sadie.) | |

According to Deadliest Warrior, a more or less common way to both test recently forged katana and quickly execute already condemned criminals was to have a samurai bisect the prisoner with a single diagonal cut. | |

During BattleBots' 2018 competition, the Icewave vs. Vanquish battle ended with Vanquish literally ripped in two after a particularly strong attack from Icewave: Its wedge, top, left two wheels, and the parts connected to them were separated from the rest of the robot. Jack Tweedy, captain of Vanquish's team, said that this was due to some weak welding he discovered later. Bifurcation is surprisingly common in Battlebots. |

Critical Role: From campaign 1: Grog's killing blow on Kevdak consists of him dropping down from the sky, bringing his axe down on Kevdak's neck, and bisecting him from neck to navel. From campaign 2: When Jester gets the final blow on Lucien, Cognouza Incarnate, it's not enough to outright kill him, but it is enough to give Molly control over their shared body for a split second. Molly makes use of that time by literally tearing himself/Lucien in half with their bare hands, splitting them from the top of their head to midway down their torso. Surprisingly, this does not prevent the Nein from reviving him after. |

A lot of the Warhammer 40,000 backstory has this, usually about Space Marines. Particularly about World Eaters. And ESPECIALLY about Kharn the Betrayer, whose axe, Gorechild is stated as capable of splitting an armoured space marine from crown to crotch, or something along those lines. Also, the damage rules from 40k roleplay games mention that characters can lose legs from enemy attacks. | |

Son of the Sannin: During the Fourth Ninja War arc, Maito Gai uses the Eight Gates to deliver his final attack on Madara Uchiha, which blows apart his lower torso and one of his arms. While this attack doesn't kill him, it puts him out of commission for a while, and Zetsu had to take him out of the battlefield to speed up the healing. Madara would later admit he was genuinely afraid because that attack almost killed him, and would certainly have done so had he been struck in the head. | |

Homestar Runner: The Strong Bad Email "shapeshifter" has Strong Bad end up as Half the Man He Was Trying to Become — he tried to imagine himself with the power to "turn into almost anyone in the world" and that's exactly what happens: His attempt to become the King of Town makes him into almost the King of Town, namely the right half of him. Amusingly, the Cheat doesn't even notice until Strong Bad turns to the camera, revealing his missing left half. Then when Strong Bad tries to game this by turning into Bubs-from-the-waist-up (since he's always behind the counter of his concession stand), he, of course, turns into Bubs-from-the-waist-down instead. | |

Star Wars Legends: Dark Empire: The Jedi Knight Empatojayos Brand was mutilated by Darth Vader after the Clone Wars, losing the entire lower half of his body along with his arms. He was rescued by the Ganathan people and outfitted with a cybernetic floating body. Star Wars: Invasion: During the battle on Dibrook, Tsalok sends a message to his New Republic foes by hoisting one of their soldiers over his head, making sure he's well in view of them, and ripping him in half. After his identity is discovered, the Yuuzhan Vong Mole is sliced in half from head to groin by Jacen and Jaina's lightsabers. |

His brother, Ray'd, later took Richard up on an offer to use a dwarf as a substitute for a wishing bone. After the deed, Richard admitted that he wished for the opportunity to pull a dwarf in half. |

You can choose to have yourself lowered into its lair from a pit — at which point the Gargantis will suddenly grab you from below and chomp you into half from the waist. Bon appetit... | |
