So there is some cosmic being locked away so that it cannot interfere with the outside world. Some sort of powerful being... good, evil, or neither, it doesn't matter. But this time, they didn't lock away the being in a magical jar of some sort. Rather, they somehow managed to bind the thing into the body of a person. A person who may, or may not, be aware that they are carrying around some dangerous being within them. Unleashing the cosmic being usually results in the "can" either dying or being subsumed into it, or killing the "can" results in the destruction of the being. Occasionally causes a Battle in the Center of the Mind. Occasionally results in a Superpowered Evil Side, for the evil, neutral and Knight Templar examples. Reincarnation may be involved. A Subtrope of Sealed Evil in a Can, Sealed Good in a Can, and Sealed Badass in a Can. Contrast Grand Theft Me and Demonic Possession. Compare Living MacGuffin, Apocalypse Maiden, Barrier Maiden, and Treasure Chest Cavity, as well as Caged Inside a Monster, where someone is trapped within something else's body in a directly physical, rather than extradimensional or spiritual, sense. May be caused by Supernatural Sealing. See also Restraining Bolt. Evil beings sealed this way are almost always a Leaking Can of Evil. Compare and contrast with Trapped in the Host. |

Adventure Time: After being splashed by healing blood, The Lich regrows his organs and skin and loses his memory of being evil, taking the form of a giant, benign baby known as Sweet P. The Lich is occasionally able to take back control, but these occasions are infrequent and don't last very long, as Sweet P's personality actively fights back. | |

In the canon of The Bridge we get an example of a villain container for an even worse villain with Monster X as the vessel for Kaizer Ghidorah. While Monster X is an Anti-Villain with a sense of honor and is genuine friends with his teammates, Kaizer Ghidorah is a rampaging monstrosity that will kill anything around him. A big part of Monster X's story arc is both finding out about Kaizer's existence and keeping him contained. | |

The reason why the Red Woman goes to the trouble of resurrecting Ned every time he dies in In the Company of Ogres is because he is the mortal vessel of the Mad Void, a universe-destroying Ancient Evil that could potentially do that to their world should it ever escape. | |

Digimon Ghost Game has a peculiar example in Regulusmon, the Jet-Black Champion. While the body he is sealed in was originally his, an alternate personality formed and eventually took over under unknown circumstances, essentially coming to be the Gammamon seen in the series proper. Regulusmon does eventually retake control, but after being defeated in a Battle in the Center of the Mind, he is once again sealed inside Gammamon. | |

In the first season of K, after the main character Yashiro Isana regains his memory of being the Silver King and being body-snatched by the Colorless King,( he is still in the body of a random high school boy that the Colorless King body-snatched before swapping with him), he decided to trap the Colorless King inside of himself this way or, more precisely, the body of the high school boy that the Colorless King body-snatched before him. He then steps in between the Red and Blue kings as they're fighting, and lets the Red King destroy his body to kill the Colorless King. Good thing he's immortal. | |

Bleach: Urahara didn't know how to destroy the Hougyoku so he placed it inside the soul of a spirit being (Rukia). By forcing Rukia to undergo a transformation into an ordinary, physical human, the Hougyoku would be forever sealed. It's strongly implied he actually did this to bait Aizen into revealing his true face since Aizen was forced into the open to recover the Hougyoku before Rukia fully transformed. Aizen eventually fuses completely with the Hougyoku. There's no known way to separate them which makes Aizen almost unkillable. As a result, Aizen has been sealed for 20,000 years in Soul Society's most powerful prison. | |

Wild ARMs 2 has two of these. The first is a demon sealed inside the protagonist early in the game, which is kept in check by a magic sword that sealed the same evil in a more standard can hundreds of years ago. Since that worked out so well, the same thing is planned for the Kuiper Core, the main threat of the second disc. Unfortunately, the Kuiper Core is a living universe, so the can immediately goes from person-shaped to Eldritch Abomination. At least you can stab it now. | |

In A Certain Magical Index, Touma's body contains... something that is more powerful than a guy who was more powerful than God. Touma's right hand, Imagine Breaker normally keeps it in check. Whenever his right hand is severed, the being escapes but is resealed when the hand is reattached or, more commonly, regenerates on its own. Interestingly, it's implied that there may be more than one being inside Touma. On two occasions, a white dragon emerged, and on the second of these, it brought seven others with it as well. In all other cases, something invisible has emerged. The second one appears to fluctuate greatly in power, as it's been crushed easily by two different villains to demonstrate their power. | |

Rosario + Vampire both plays this trope straight and inverts it. Inner Moka remains sealed by the rosary she wears, but she's the original, and Outer Moka is an artificial personality, so she's effectively sealed inside her own body. | |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, this is subverted. Tristan is believed to be trapped in a Monkey Robot by Kaiba or Reshef, but he is just absent, and the weak Monkey Robot is coincidentally as weak as Tristan. | |

Winx Club: In Episode 23 of Season 3, Valtor is weakened by the Water Stars and Bloom is ready to destroy him, but he warns her not to; Valtor then tells Bloom he cast a spell which caused her birth parents, Oritel and Marion, to be trapped in a spell within his body, and if he is killed, then she will kill her parents as well. The next episode reveals that this was a lie, and her parents are alive and exiled in an unknown dimension somewhere. | |

Tales Series: Tales of Hearts has the Big Bad's mind trapped in the main character. The Dragon finds this out at the beginning of the game and spends the entire first half trying to get him possessed. Tales of Arise: Late in the game it's revealed that three hundred years ago a piece of the Great Astral Spirit was sealed inside Naori, Shionne's ancestor. The seal worked, and the piece even makes the current bearer unkillable, but now it's weakening, which results in Shionne having her "Curse of Thorns". |

In The Girl from the Well, the woman in black is sealed within Tark's body by five mystic tattoos, and must murder five people to free herself. The miko Chiyo had also habitually used herself as a person-shaped can for evil spirits, and ended up becoming the woman in black when they overwhelmed her. | |

It comes up again in Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry with Animus being revealed to be a dragon fatally injured by Acnologia that sealed himself inside of the dying Sonya to save himself, which also saved her life and extended her lifespan. Unlike the Dragon Slayers' parents, who could leave their children at any time thanks to them possessing Dragon Magic, Animus couldn't since Sonya wasn't a Slayer, and thus he needed to obtain the Dragon Cry to free himself and maintain his existence. | |

In Phantasy Star IV, the third incarnation of Dark Force is sealed up inside Seth, who joins your party. Creepier than most, in that it's never made clear whether Seth was ever really human, or if he was just a human form. On the one hand, he seems genuinely terrified when he starts to change; on the other, his skill list is 100% dark servitor. | |

Eberron: Because true immortals have Resurrective Immortality, this is one of the few ways to put them down for good. There are always the same number of demons, angels, and so on in the universe, and if you kill one it will just return to its plane and be reborn into a similar form. The ogres of Borunan in Sarlona fought on the side of the angels in the Forever War, and their greatest warriors trapped demons inside themselves in order to redeem them, becoming the oni in the process. The kalashtar did something similar, taking in the Ascended Demon quori in order to keep them safe from the other quori, who wanted to kill them so that they would reincarnate as evil again. | |

In the SCP Foundation, SCP-231 plays this trope for extreme horror. They have to do SOMETHING horrific to this absurdly young girl a minimum of once a day to keep said evil inside. Each time one gets out (or the host dies) it's progressively worse, to the point that hers could mean Earth says adios. Word of God says it's ten times worse than whatever your guess is. And it isn't shy about not-so-subtly hinting at where you should begin guessing. She is, at the very least, repeatedly and violently raped (possibly while being subject to other tortures), while being forcefully kept conscious so she can't escape the pain. She is fed through a feeding tube and gets water through an IV so she doesn't experience the pleasures of eating, and she is never to be given any medication to dull her pain (and is only to be attended to by doctors who haven't taken the Hippocratic Oath). They wipe her memory every couple of days so her surprise, shock, and sensitivity to pain never drop; with careful timing, they do so when her feelings of despair reach their absolute peak and she is given no time to acclimatize. Almost everyone involved with the project begs for a high-class amnesiac to erase the memory of what they've seen, and individuals are to be regularly cycled out of the project for risk of going insane. In the short story "Fear Alone" it turns out that by the time six out of the original seven hosts were dead, the Foundation realized it needed to change its approach, or else it was only a matter of time before SCP-231-7 died as well. Eventually, they discovered that the sealed evil can't actually tell what Procedure 110-Montauk is, or even what it feels like to the host, it only understands that a lot of people are terrified of it. And it turns out, all that is needed to keep the evil contained, is for it to believe something terrifying is happening. And thus, the Foundation does its best to convince everyone else, even us, that Procedure 110-Montauk is some indescribably horrible event. |

Ayanami Rei from Neon Genesis Evangelion is claimed (by one character) to be carrying the soul of an Eldritch Abomination inside her. Her superpowers are similar to those of the species to which said eldritch abomination belongs, so it's probably true. | |

Michael Waite, famed horror writer in the Whateley Universe, turned out to be one of these. Locked inside him is The Kellith, a Great Old One foretold to wipe humanity off the planet and repopulate it with her spawn. Then he 'died' and changed into what everyone assumes is a vampiric girl mutant codenamed Carmilla. Kellith did a pretty good job of being not-evil... or at least, not destroying-all-existence evil. | |

Discworld: In the first few books, Rincewind has one of the Eight Spells of Creation hidden inside his head. It's described as trying to escape, and it has filled his head to the point of him being unable to learn any other spells. After Snuff Samuel Vimes forced the Summoning Dark (basically the Dwarven Anthropomorphic Personification of Revenge, sans anthropomorphism) to obey him rather than the other way around. |

Kamen Rider Blade: Hajime Aikawa, a.k.a. Kamen Rider Chalice, is in reality the Joker Undead, a creature that serves as the Reset Button for the "Battle Fight", a battle royale among the Joker and 52 other Undead (each of which represents a different form of life) to determine what will become the dominant life form. The reset triggers with the sealing of all other Undead save Joker, and would result in the end of all life on the planet (at which all other 52 Undead would be unsealed and the Battle Fight would restart). Hajime keeps his Superpowered Evil Side sealed with the Change Mantis and Spirit Human cards. | |

In the backstory of Imperfect Metamorphosis, the Shadow Youkai proved too tough for Yukari and Co. to kill it outright, so they wiped its memories and De Powered it into a more manageable form. Over the decades Rumia developed her own personality, so when the former attempts to reemerge it has to fight the latter (and Rin Satsuki) for control. Bonus points for including a Battle in the Center of the Mind, which didn't end well. | |

In Warcraft lore, Aegwynn was tricked into unwittingly becoming this for the spirit of Sargeras, the series' Big Bad. After defeating his physical form, his spirit entered her body and was later passed to her son, Medivh, who under its influence opened the Dark Portal to allow the Horde to invade Azeroth. Killing Medivh banished Sargeras' spirit back to the Twisting Nether. A very similar arrangement occurs in World of Warcraft. After Arthas is defeated in-game, the heroes realize that his willpower was the only thing preventing the Scourge from launching a frenzied, full-force attack that would annihilate all life on Azeroth. To prevent this from happening, there has to be a Lich King. Highlord Bolvar, the former human faction leader, agrees to take on the role of "Jailor of the Damned". |

Dragon Age: Origins has a possible ending where the soul of the Archdemon, formerly Urthemiel, Dragon of Beauty, can end up inside Morrigan's unborn, darkspawn-tainted fetus. If this option was taken, in Dragon Age: Inquisition, you eventually meet this "can" in the form of Morrigan's ten year old son, Kieran, who's a fairly nice boy despite being the host to an Old God—he does, however, make many cryptic remarks, and he appears to be much more ordinary if he was conceived without the ritual taking place. Later in the game, Flemeth takes the Old God soul out of him, leaving him relatively unharmed in a subversion of the usual trope. | |

Slayers: Rezo's eyes are a can for Shabranigdo. Gaav, the Demon Dragon King was sealed in a human. The seal leaked, and it might be said that it leaked both ways, since this is what caused Gaav to revolt against the other demon lords in the first place. A common fan theory goes that the gods knew Humanity Is Infectious, and chose to imprison defeated demons in familial lines of people specifically as a failsafe, so that the Always Chaotic Evil would be diluted out over the generations. In the series' backstory and novel series, Lei Magnus and Luke are people-shaped cans for pieces of Shabranigdo. Since Shabby was split into seven pieces, we can assume that there are four others like them that we don't know about. |

Invoked and played with as the main plot device in Fiona Patton's Tales of the Branion Realm series, in which a fire god, the Living Flame, essentially inhabits the ruler of an alternate Britain, hopping to the next-in-line whenever one dies. However, they use the Flame's power for the good of the realm, letting it out while (theoretically) keeping it under control. Played straighter in the third book, when the royal family converts to a different faith which regards the Flame as a demon, and deliberately locks it within themselves. Its own followers set out to release it into the body of a believer by seducing its current vessel. | |

Felix Castor has a friend that suffers from this. The friend made the mistake of calling up what couldn't be put down, and Felix tried to exorcise it best he knew how — only to find the thing had gotten tenterhooks into his friend's soul, meaning a proper exorcism would kill him. So he did the best he could and knitted them together. | |

In Devil Survivor, it turns out Amane had a demon sealed inside of her when she was just a child. Unfortunately, said demon is one of the Bels... not the biggest of the problems caused by this, obviously, but considering the whole fight for the Throne of Bel. Poor Amane also has a higher tier angel stuck in her to help balance out against the Bel. | |

In RuneScape, the demon Agrith-Naar is sealed into the human body Denath by priests to render him powerless. To get around this, he gathered a group of dark wizards to summon a fellow demon, Delrith; when the player slays Delrith, he tricks them into thinking that he is in the Infernal Dimensions, and the player tries to summon him into the mortal plane to kill him, but instead send him back to his home plane, making him far more powerful. | |

In Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Johnny is revealed to be a "Waste-Lock", a human that serves as a form of receptacle for the spiritual negativity that humans generate by their very existence. This turns out to be the reason why Johnny never ends up getting caught for any of the horrid things he does and also (partially) explains why he's so utterly messed up. After the thing he was keeping locked up escaped during volume 5, he is freed from his duty once the universe is rebooted. It seems to do little to him except remove some of his compulsion to kill things and making people more aware of his existence. | |

Pony POV Series: In the Dark World timeline, this trope is attempted and subverted during the Boss Battle with Odyne!Cruelty. Rarity tries to remove Cruelty's soul from the body she's possessing and using her Element of Desire to seal it inside herself, but Cruelty fights her off. The Shining Armor Arc reveals that Minuette is actually the Master transformed into a pony with his consciousness sealed in a fob watch. And she refuses to become him again. Unlike many examples in the end she manages to prevent him from escaping and feeds him to the Blank Wolf, erasing him from existence and freeing herself from him for good. |

In The Elder Scrolls series backstory, before recorded history, Jyggalag, the Daedric Prince of Order, grew powerful. The other (chaotic-leaning) Daedric Princes grew fearful and jealous of his growing power, so they came together and cursed him into becoming his own antithesis - Sheogorath, the Daedric Prince of Madness. However, at the end of every Era, Jyggalag is allowed to return to his true form in an event known as the Greymarch. During this time, he retakes and destroys the Shivering Isles (Sheogorath's and formerly his own Daedric realm), only to return to the form of Sheogorath at the end. The main plot of the Shivering Isles expansion to Oblivion is Jyggalag attempting to break this Vicious Cycle once and for all. He succeeds in a Literal Split Personalities fashion, freeing himself by passing the mantle of Sheogorath onto the Champion of Cyrodiil. | |

Its ultimate goal is to destroy humanity by infecting someone of high enough influence to make this possible. Timmy is unable to capture the bug and in desperation tells good Vicky, who willingly sacrifices herself to save humanity from being nuked. The bug is thus unable to possess anyone else and Vicky returns to evil. | |

In Green Lantern: Rebirth, previous events involving Hal Jordan having gone kind of Ax-Crazy over the loss of his hometown, killed most of the Green Lantern Corps, renamed himself Parallax, and eventually ending up as the host for The Spectre were retconned: according to the new telling, Parallax had always been an entity unto itself, and possessed Jordan to use his power and anger for its own purposes. The Spectre getting involved turned the whole situation into more of a person-shaped-can scenario, with Jordan as host for both of them but the Spectre serving to keep Parallax stuck within him and unable to escape or exert any real control. | |

Fairy Tail: The main example of this trope is a gigantic spoiler - but here's the idea anyway: The first-generation Dragon Slayers contain their dragon parents that disappeared! Specifically, they sealed themselves inside their children in order to create "antibodies" that would ensure they wouldn't become crazy and omnicidal dragons like Acnologia and to prolong their own lives after Acnologia fatally wounded them. It comes up again in Fairy Tail: Dragon Cry with Animus being revealed to be a dragon fatally injured by Acnologia that sealed himself inside of the dying Sonya to save himself, which also saved her life and extended her lifespan. Unlike the Dragon Slayers' parents, who could leave their children at any time thanks to them possessing Dragon Magic, Animus couldn't since Sonya wasn't a Slayer, and thus he needed to obtain the Dragon Cry to free himself and maintain his existence. |

Warhammer 40,000 has Daemonhosts, daemons that hijack a person's body to manifest in our reality, which can also be done deliberately, binding a daemon into a prepared body to bind it and use its power for themselves. This is of course horrifically dangerous, as when it escapes the daemon will not be happy with whoever bound it. In Eisenhorn killing the host without simultaneously banishing the daemon simply allowed it to transfer to another host, and while official Inquisition policy is that the person is killed when their body is taken over, one daemon claims they still remain (not that daemons can be trusted). | |

In Judge Death's first appearance in Judge Dredd, Dredd seals Death in Judge Anderson's body by encasing her in Boing, a spray-on, clear, rubber-like substance that, despite totally enclosing the person's body, nevertheless allows the person to breathe normally for no explained reason. She's done this trick on several other occasions when facing the Dark Judges, but only temporarily: the evil killer ghost judge in her head isn't exactly passive with the arrangement. | |

High School D×D: Draig, the Welsh/Red Dragon is sealed inside the protagonist, Issei. Or rather Draig, and his counterpart Albion the Vanishing Dragon, were both sealed inside 'cans' called Sacred Gears, which pass on to a new host when the previous host dies. A case of Sealed Can in a Person Shaped Can. Draig and Albion are neither Good or Evil, but their constant fighting with each other caused 3 separate warring factions to team up in order to seal them. | |

Doctor Who gives us a couple of good examples in the same season: "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood" gives us John Smith, a mild-mannered Englishman who teaches at a boy's school and clumsily works to win over the affections of the school nurse while keeping a diary of the various strange things he sees in his dreams. What he doesn't know is that those dreams are the memories of the Doctor, who used a special watch to seal himself away and transform his body into that of a human in order to hide from pursuers. When he learns this, and also that he needs to turn back into the Doctor to prevent the aliens from destroying the school and the surrounding town, he's heartbroken and terrified. "Utopia" has a similar example, Professor Yana, who in this case is unwittingly the Master. |

In Diablo lore, it is customary for the Prime Evils to spend time inside human hosts — either as a safety measure, or chained there against their will. When the Wanderer was tricked into using Diablo's soulstone on himself, he became the unwitting host of the Lord of Terror, and at some unknown point in time lost his will for good. In the distant past, a mage by the name of Tal Rasha decided to bind himself to Baal to imprison the Lord of Destruction forever and ever. While Tal Rasha was eventually possessed by Baal just like the Wanderer, he'd also allowed himself to be placed in magical restraints, which held - until he was released by a third party. | |

In Deadman Wonderland, the Red Man AKA the Bad Egg is sealed inside Shiro. This isn't a case of possession or split personality of any sort, though it initially looks this way and Shiro intentionally makes it seem like that's what it is; while it may seem like her ditzy Genki Girl persona is the "real" one, she's just putting up a front and spending as much time with Ganta as she can before it all goes to hell. | |

In The Chronicles of Narnia fic “Across the Worlds", Zaru, the Talking Leopard, becomes the unwilling guardian of the Deplorable Word (The Magician's Nephew); the Word remains in his mind and often tries to compel him to speak it, but this ensures that the Great Darkness cannot use the Word to destroy other worlds. Zaru only uses it once when he has trapped one of the most powerful agents of the Great Darkness and a couple of dying allies in an already dead world where there is no other life to destroy. Even after this, the Word still attempts to compel Zaru to speak it again, but he resists the urge, with the goddess Artemis complimenting his strength of will in a manner that makes it clear the Word would be this to most people. | |

Once she starts travelling Earth with Bucky, the Force eventually leads her to Kamar-Taj, where the Ancient One is able to free Celeste of the burden of the Talisman and lock it in the Order's archives. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer The Hell-Goddess Glory, was imprisoned inside a mortal man named Ben, and protected by an enchantment that made any human (vampires and demons were immune) who learned of their connection to forget it quickly. In the end, Rupert Giles smothers Ben to put an end to Glory's threat forever. Dawn: The anti-Glory "Key" that was hidden by being transformed into a girl living in this world, placed under protection of the Slayer. The "can" was lucky in this case: after the Key had served its purpose, it went out of existence, but Dawn remained as a real girl. |

The Flame Hazes, concerning their "masters". If they were to get out of their host, the Flame Haze will explode and die. |

A rather unusual case happens in The Demon Girl Next Door. Sakura's core is sealed inside Yuko. She actually did this to herself to boost Yuko's health. Yuko would die if it was removed before Yuko has the power to resist her family's curse alone. The unusual thing being the entity being sealed is this universe's Big Good, and Yuko, the "person-shaped can" in this case, is a demon (although only technically so). | |

In Malignant, it's revealed that Gabriel was originally a parasitic twin who shared a brain with his sister Emily. He developed strange psychic and electrokinetic powers, and not only that, but he could also alter Emily's perception of reality on demand. Eventually, Gabriel grew so powerful that doctors made the decision to remove as much of him from Emily as possible, ultimately sealing him inside his own sister's skull alive and conscious for decades, though he could still occasionally take control over her from within. | |

In the Kingdom Hearts franchise, the hearts of many people take refuge, willingly or not, inside the main protagonist Sora for one reason or another, though for most of them he's not aware of it. The Big Bad Xehanort also counts, except that he does the reverse deliberately subjugating others to his will for the sake of his schemes, though he ends up in this trope proper a couple of times as a result. | |

Sailor Moon: Prince Endymion tries to do this with Metaria near the end of Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon but she ends up possessing him instead, causing Sailor Moon to have to kill him. In Sailor Moon proper, Sailor Galaxia sealed Chaos inside herself to protect the universe from it, but ended up turning evil from its influence instead. Note this only happened in the anime. |
