So yeah, I just killed this huge guy over here. How, you ask? By chopping him in half with my BFS! Surely, No One Could Survive That! But, wait, what? What do you mean, part of him is getting back up?! What the hell does it take to stop this guy?! This trope is basically when a sentient being is able to function without their entire body in one piece. The portion of the being that's still functioning is often quite frightening to look at. In most cases, it takes a hit to the brain (or the Cranial Processing Unit) to actually stop it, but there have been cases where even that doesn't work. Taken to extremes, this character can live on as The Disembodied. Frequently overlaps with Organ Autonomy. When this happens with someone's head, see Losing Your Head. When this happens in a video game, it's usually a case of Didn't Need Those Anyway!. When done deliberately, it's Detachment Combat. Sub-Trope of Injured Self-Drag, which is otherwise a much less gory cousin. See also Pulling Themselves Together, for when they do want that part back. |

Bleach: Cirucci Sanderwicci does this to herself in her fight with Ishida. In a unique take on the Clipped-Wing Angel tropes, Cirucci reveals that her bird-like Resurrección actually takes a lot of spiritual power to maintain. When Ishida pushes her too far, she reveals that she can remove the armor, wings, and arms of her Resurrección in order to bypass this drain on her energy. Unfortunately for her, this change is permanent. Cirucci specifically compares it to having a limb amputated. The Soul King is initially introduced as a fully intact human encased in a Crystal Prison. However, by the time Yhwach stabs the Soul King, the entity is mysteriously limbless. Adding to the mystery is the legend of Mimihagi, a pagan deity that has wandered the Rukongai for aeons. Mimihagi is actually the Soul King's missing right arm, fully mobile, and possessing its own identity and powers. The Soul King's left arm is also mobile and possessed of its own identity and powers. It has been serving Yhwach, in opposition to the Soul King, and refuses to acknowledge its former connection. It prefers being called Pernida, a member of the quincy Praetorian Guard, the Schutzstaffel. |

DEATH BATTLE! Fox McCloud vs Bucky O'Hare: Despite losing his legs during the fight, Fox McCloud manages to win against Bucky O'Hare. The fact that his legs were cybernetics helps. Terminator vs RoboCop: In a reference to the film series, the T-850 still continues to fight after it loses its lower body, and attempts to blow Robocop up with him using his ruptured fuel cells. Ryu vs. Scorpion: Ryu hits Scorpion with the Shin Hadoken, reducing him quite literally to a skeleton. Doesn't stop the ninja from proceeding to incinerate Ryu with a massive blast of Hellfire. Justified in the fact that Scorpion is really the equivalent of a Netherrealm wraith that has no problems surviving the loss of his physical body as long as his soul survives. |

Angel: The eponymous character once went up against a demon that kept piecing itself back together and attacking no matter how many times he chopped him in half. Fortunately for Lorne, in his world getting decapitated isn't that big a deal. |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood: Having powerful regenerative powers due to being a vampire, Dio Brando can withstand serious injuries such as losing limbs and being bisected vertically. It all comes to a point where Dio's body is struck by Hamon (sunlight-based energy fatal to vampires), forcing him to sever his own head to survive the attack. However, being reduced to a disembodied head scarcely slows him down, still managing to gatecrash Jonathan's honeymoon and kills him, taking Jonathan's headless corpse as a replacement body which grants him his new form when he re-emerges in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders 100 years later. | |

Re: Cutie Honey: Black Claw is all over the place with this one. First she's decapitated, and her body gets up and keeps fighting while her head continues taunting the protagonist. When she feels her body needs the power boost form her head again, she reattaches it, only to be bisected vertically. Her two halves have a brief conversation afterward. | |

Killing a zombie in Half-Life 2 by launching a sawblade at the torso with the gravity gun sometimes doesn't kill it: the zombie's upper torso will keep coming after the target. Conversely, killing a zombie with anything except fire or a headshot has a pretty high chance of the headcrab detaching itself from the corpse to find a new host. | |

In Madworld's Mad Castle stage, the common Mooks are zombies. If you want to cut them up, be sure to bisect them; cutting them in half at the waist won't put them away, and eventually they'll even regrow the bottom half. | |

Taken to the extreme in an episode of Rex the Runt, where in order to pay their bills, Bad Bob offers to sell his body. He returns within seconds, having literally sold his entire body, leaving him just a floating mouth, eye and eyepatch.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: "Legacy of Terror" introduces a Geonosian hive mind so powerful that it can maintain strong connections with its warriors, living or dead. This includes the warriors that have otherwise fatal wounds to their bodies — you can shoot it with laser guns or chop it up with a lightsaber, but it'll keep coming for you. General Grievous has survived and fought on after losing the lower half of his body. Darth Maul also survived his bisection at the hands of Obi-Wan, evidently sustaining himself through the Force and pure hatred. He wound up getting cybernetic legs. |

Red Dwarf had Kryten who displayed an ability to function in pieces. Not only was he able to remove his head but he actually kept several spare, all of which were intelligent and capable of speech (though one was suffering from droid rot). In addition, one episode had him trapped and attaching an eye to his hand which he sent off independently to find Lister. It then proceeded to climb up his leg (which was particularly unnerving due to it initially being mistaken for a spider with an eye the size of a meatball). | |

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: The Green Knight comes to Camelot, taunts the knights, and issues a challenge: he will allow any knight to deal him one blow and then he will return the following year to inflict the same. Gawain accepts the challenge and decapitates him. The Green Knight picks up his severed head and tells him to meet him at the Green Chapel at the appointed time. Gawain, who does not have this power, spends the rest of the adventure on the verge of browning his pants (but manfully turns up anyway). It turns out to have been a Secret Test of Character. | |

Ushio and Tora: Tora states that youkai cannot die unless they suffer an excessive amount of vital wounds. Seen when Tora's former pal, Hitotsuki, is reduced from his usual, massive body-made-of-snakes to a single snake. Tora himself survives being bisected and having his limbs torn off. Simultaneously. Ozzel of the same series can remove her head with no problem due to being a doll. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Iron golems could continue to function after losing their heads, including breathing out poison gas. Module I6 Ravenloft. When Strahd zombies had their limbs cut off, the limbs could continue to attack. More generally, constructs (like golems) and most undead (aside from vampires) can survive decapitation, and anything with multiple heads (like hydras) can survive losing any head but the last one. Creatures with the regeneration ability (like trolls) can grow back lost body parts or even reattach them by holding the severed limb against the stump. Many oozes have the Split ability which causes certain attacks to divide them into a pair of identical oozes just as formidable as the original except with half the hit points. |

Never Say Never Again: James Bond's commander claims he's losing his touch in field operations, citing his being incapacitated by a land mine in a training exercise — Bond corrects him, explaining he'd merely lost two legs, but didn't die. | |

White Night: The ghouls in New Mexico remain conscious and somewhat mobile even after one loses two limbs and another, its lower body. The super-ghouls that invade the Deeps later on keep right on fighting, even when they've lost arms, legs, chunks of torso, or even heads. | |

Fallout 2's final boss, after finally being defeated, spontaneously bursts in half. Despite this, his upper body has enough strength to walk a few steps on his arms alone and to leave his Final Speech for the player. | |

Binary Domain is about Hollow Children, Ridiculously Human Robots created by the Amada Corporation. Standing in the way of said hollow children, however, is an entire squadron of disposable combat robots: Shoot their firing arm off and they'll just pick up their gun with the other arm. Shoot their legs and they'll still have an arm to shoot you with. HOWEVER, this can work in your favor. Shoot their brains out, and your AI hacking devices will automatically hack into their now-literally-broken firewalls, causing the robots to fight amongst themselves. This only works on bipedal mooks. Also, one hollow child is shown to continue functioning with half a head. He's put out of his misery soon after. Not to mention the reject pile with multiple damaged hollow children, each wearing half of the same stem-cell mask that was used on Matsuda's best friend... *shudder* |

The Black Company: The Limper becomes this over the course of the stories. Having always had his namesake disability, the Company manages to remove one of his arms and eventually decapitate him before moving south. But that severed head is still an incredibly powerful wizard. He uses his magic to craft a "toy body" of wicker and later, a much finer one of enchanted clay. That said, his time with the wicker body still sees him conquer a huge section of the north, and he's ultimately only defeated when the Empire and the rebels team up against him and are able to boil him down into a soup. | |

R.A. Salvatore's Forgotten Realms novels, like Streams of Silver, take the troll ability to regenerate even further than the game. (It sometimes seems he didn't read the Monster Manual.) Even a severed troll hand can function independently and grow into a new troll, and eating a troll has been known to result in a grisly death for the eating animal when the eaten troll starts growing back together. Fire still prevents this, but acid doesn't in that book because it had yet to be added to the rules. | |

Star vs. the Forces of Evil has Toffee. Having rendered all magic useless, disposed of Star, regained his lost finger, and destroyed Butterfly Castle, he walks away listlessly. He doesn't notice Star's attack. At the end of it, he is literally reduced to a pile of bones and goo that we can only assume was his flesh once. One of his eyes is even falling out of his head. In response, he laughs and crawls towards the group of heroes, assuring them that they haven't won and that only he knows how everything turns out. It is only after Ludo pushes a column onto him that he appears dead. Even then, they aren't entirely sure. | |

World War Z: A soldier explains that losing their legs can actually make zombies more dangerous, since it often makes them harder to spot in tall grass or shallow water. He also explains that this is why land mines are ineffective against zombies; traps designed to take out an enemy's foot or leg don't help much against an enemy where you have to destroy the brain. | |

BattleTech: Battlemechs can continue to function after sustaining phenomenal damage, depending on how it's built. All bipedal mechs can continue to function after losing both arms; in fact, many mechs are built with arms that contain no important equipment at all, meaning that their loss won't impact the mech at all. Mechs that have a Light or Clan XL engine can survive the loss of one side torso (which will automatically result in losing the arm associated with that side). Mechs with a Standard or Compact Engine can survive the loss of both side torsos, and if they also have laser weapons mounted in their head and center torso they can keep fighting. Finally, a mech with a Torso-Mounted Cockpit can even survive the loss of its head, though at this point it's not really capable of fighting anymore since that destroys its sensors. | |

Nightmare Creatures is famous for the amount of limbs and legs you can sever in-game, and most monsters will keep coming after you even after losing most of their bodies.

The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories has this as a part of its core mechanic. J.J. is made immortal early on, so no amount of mutilation can kill her, and several puzzles actually require her to lose some of her body parts (or even to be reduced to just her head!) in order to proceed. Could be considered a Deconstructed Trope, as the whole process is extremely painful for J.J., and the game pulls absolutely no punches in conveying this to the player. | |

Doctor Who: Lady Cassandra, from "The End of the World" and "New Earth", was born a normal human with a body, but by the time the Doctor encountered her had been reduced to a face in a blob of stretched-out skin and a Brain in a Jar. "Love & Monsters": Ursula ends up as a face in a block of concrete. The battered Cyberman from "The Pandorica Opens" does most of its attacking with a disembodied head and arm. The head also reattaches. In "The Witch's Familiar", the Doctor steals Davros' chair, leaving his upper body on the ground protesting impotently. |

Hunter × Hunter: Hisoka lets an arm get cut off for fun one time, too. He then swings it around on invisible sticky energy string for a while, and then patches it on with camouflage energy sheets and pretends it's reattached before playing with the guy a little more and then losing interest. Then he goes away, calls a specialist to sew his arm back on with energy microfilament, and has a shower. | |

Dragon Ball and its successor series: Sgt. Metallic was a robot who was able to keep fighting even after his head and hands were destroyed, only stopping when his batteries ran out. Since he was a Shout-Out to The Terminator, that's not surprising. Frieza ended up getting in the way of his own attack and losing the lower half of his body and an arm (see the image links page). At first, it doesn't seem like this trope is in effect. He isn't outright killed, but he can't even move. Once he gets a little bit of a power recharge, he suddenly doesn't seem to be that worried about half of his body being gone. Later on, he gets cybernetic replacements for his missing parts. His brother Cooler is a similar example; after being blasted through the sun by Goku in his first movie appearance, it turns out that a piece of his head not much bigger than his EYE survived and later fused with a sentient computer. He then makes an army of robotic versions of himself to defeat the Z-Fighters. Cell's feats include his tail and arm being ripped off, but the most extreme example is after Goku surprises him with a Kamehameha at point-blank, literally exploding the top half of his body. Everyone is then shocked when his legs and lower torso leap to their feet, and his missing half starts growing back. His regenerative powers were based on, but clearly exceed, those of Piccolo, who can only regenerate if his head is still intact. Majin Buu is a pro at this; due to his incredible regenerative abilities, he will often just sit there and let his opponent slice or blast him into chunks, only to laugh and reform himself. When Vegeta blows him into tiny pieces, each of those pieces turns into a tiny copy of his original body, and they merged back together with no problem. During his later encounter with Piccolo and Gotenks, the heroes blew him into tiny pieces, then went around carefully vaporizing each piece one by one, only for him to reform from the smoke. |

EXTRAPOWER: Attack of Darkforce: When the Kinreikan is attacked by Mensouma and his Spy Flies, Liu Jei becomes one of many casualties, bisected in half while attempting to defend the hall. Given that the Kinreikan is a collection of martial arts exorcists and mystics, this is merely a setback for Liu Jei who is later revealed to have animated himself as a zombie. Patchy in flesh, harmed by the sun, and dragging his remaining upper body along by his arms. | |

In the final battle of Cyberpunk 2077, Adam Smasher gradually loses more and more of his body as the battle drags on and you wear him down, only surviving because most of his body is machine. By the time he finally collapses and can't fight anymore, he's been reduced to an armless, one-legged torso that can do nothing but sit on its knees, twitch occasionally, and (just barely) speak. | |

A fairly realistic version in Breaking Bad. After one of the Salamanca cousins is crushed by a car, he ends up in the hospital with both his legs amputated. But when he sees Walt he tears out his IV and heart monitor, rolls out of bed, and drags himself across the floor, death-staring Walt the whole way. Having no legs only marginally slows his quest for revenge. | |

In Kingdom of Loathing, level 11 quest boss Ed the Undying (a mummy) is... well, he's undying. (Or UNDYING!, as he puts it.) The player has to fight seven of his forms in a row, although thankfully each one is weaker than the last since the "lethal" blows he receives break his major limbs and then torso into little bits and pieces. After seven combats, he's still not dead, but his body has degraded to the point that the adventurer sweeps him up in a dustpan. Naturally, in the Special Challenge Path "Actually Ed the Undying" (where the player is — guess), he is no less UNDYING! and can return to any fight the player loses, albeit for a price. |
