With My Hands Tied	comment	So you've captured the hero, and have him at your mercy, but don't kill him just yet. So tie the guy up and leave him, he'll be harmless for now, right? Wrong! What Were You Thinking? Most heroes are so badass that they can outfight your Mooks even while they're physically restricted. Their hands might be tied, but they can still kick. Chained down, they can still dodge. Shackle two together and you'll just have Back-to-Back Badasses. Plus the odds are pretty good that they'll make clever use of their binding, as garottes, club, or flails — see Handy Cuffs. And also that they'll be Breaking the Bonds. In some modern works, this is parodied by having the characters willingly impose a handicap to make things "fairer" for the enemies. The hero will make some Badass Boast to "fight you with one hand tied behind my back!" (or even both hands) and the villain will take him up on it thinking he's crazy. Maybe he is crazy, or maybe he isn't, and the villain will be in for a very big surprise. Female heroines may sometimes incorporate Kick Chick and Combat Stilettos with this trope.

With My Hands Tied / int_101bfcd7	comment	Kuroda Kanbe in Sengoku Basara combines this with Epic Flail. He fights with the manacles on his wrists, attached to a giant steel ball which he can swing around with ease. A Running Gag is his failed attempts to remove said shackles. In fact, several of his attacks (including his Basara Attack) are actually attempts to break the manacles that fail.

With My Hands Tied / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½ Ranma actually does a lot of things with his toes in the manga, one chapter had him hanging from a rope with his arms bound by the aforementioned rope while going up against the Principal, using his toes to maneuver himself and kicking. Kodachi tried to hinder Ranma's agility by shackling her to Akane's pet piglet P-chan. It backfired spectacularly since it provided Ranma with a piggy-shaped flail. She might have assumed Ranma wouldn't want to hurt the cute innocent widdle pig. "Pig is VALID weapon...." Cue the squealing.... Near the end of the manga, Ranma's hands and arms were held in place and encased in nigh-indestructible crystal, product of Saffron's metamorphosis. He was still able to fight almost to his full abilities, even wielding the spear-like Gekkaja with his toes and cut a giant Phoenix statue's neck in half that way. Ryoga, under the "Mark of the Battling God", become invincible, but get also an embrassing mark and need to be defeated to remove the mark from his body. In order to make things easier for Ranma, Ryoga has blindfolded himself along with tying his hands together and placing large weights to his ankles. But he fail and still easily knocks Ranma into the ceiling.

She only gets free (along the way managing to kill one Tethered by impaling her with her own scissors) after killing Red and thus being able to take the key from her. And the flashback revealing Adelaide is the Tethered shows that it was retaliation, as Red handcuffed Adelaide to a bed before leaving to steal her identity.

With My Hands Tied / int_2029a797	comment	Cody from Street Fighter Alpha 3, an escaped convict, wears handcuffs. In one of his taunts, he easily takes them off and then puts them on again. This is because he wears them by choice, as his fighting ability has increased to the point that he requires a Power Limiter in order to even be remotely challenged by anyone. In fact, breaking out of prison in the first place was spurred by his incessant boredom growing out of his head with no one to fight; he ends up going back afterwards because he still admits he's not a very upstanding guy. Oro from Street Fighter III has one arm tied inside his gi. He refuses to use it until and unless he finds an opponent his equal. In Street Fighter V, he's untied his arm... but now carries his pet tortoise in one hand at all times. (This is to avoid the issue of an Ambidextrous Sprite in a 3D game.) Though he'll occasionally pull out his other arm to power up one of his Super Arts, or to perform the mother of all body slams.

And they aren't allowed to remove their binds. The more capable criminals have no issue slaughtering the others. Special mention goes to Gabimaru, who still rips and bites other opponents to death. Sagiri initially forces Gabimaru to keep his hands tied per the rules of the shogunate, even when Gabimaru is forced to fight another criminal (who doesn't even have his hands tied, because none of the other Asaemon bother keeping their prisoners physically restrained on the grounds that it's a stupid rule). Gabimaru not only No-Sell's said criminals' attacks while re-tieing his hands, he skewers him to death offscreen with several of the man's own weapons.

You may also attack while restrained with a slight penalty to attack rolls. 3rd Edition monks could use an unarmed attack with elbows, knees, feet... The only penalties to having their hands tied behind their back were that manipulating items such as potions, wands, thrown weapons and so on would pose problematic.

After a first clever but failed escape (he asks one of the guards to tighten his shackles, superheats them by blowing steam out of his nose, and burns the guard's hand), he is soon caugh again and has to be rescued by Zuko. Once freed, however, he proves his fighting skills (alongside with Zuko) by using his long shackles to beat up all the guards in a matter of seconds. Bumi beats both by taking back the city of Omashu while being trapped in a metal box and able to move nothing but his chin. In the penultimate episode of Season 3 of the Sequel Series, The Legend of Korra , the titular heroine manages to put up a hell of a fight against Zaheer with her hands and feet shackled in platinum cuffs that she canâ€™t metalbend.

With My Hands Tied / int_8c6bc3c2	comment	Oro from Street Fighter III has one arm tied inside his gi. He refuses to use it until and unless he finds an opponent his equal. In Street Fighter V, he's untied his arm... but now carries his pet tortoise in one hand at all times. (This is to avoid the issue of an Ambidextrous Sprite in a 3D game.) Though he'll occasionally pull out his other arm to power up one of his Super Arts, or to perform the mother of all body slams.

With My Hands Tied / int_97931756	comment	Jackie Chan, in Rush Hour, had a nice battle with both his hands cuffed to a (removed) steering wheel. He also manages to go over a twelve-foot wall with his hands still chained. The post-movie blooper reel has a screamingly funny outtake of the wall climb... Only one hand was cuffed to the steering wheel, which just made it an unusual weapon/thing to try and conceal. Not the first time he's done this either. In Who Am I?, he escapes from his captors and makes his way down a three-story building by turning himself into a human yo-yo with his hands cuffed behind his back. And in Mr. Nice Guy, near the end, the Big Bad ties a bunch of ropes to him so he can beat him up without worry, but Jackie still manages to get the upper hand once. He likes this trope. In The Tuxedo he ends up wearing only the pants of the titular tux and activates "pants only combat". From that same movie, he was fighting off a bunch of mooks from all directions while keeping the movie's plot device from escaping by keeping it in a glass that was pressed up against the compulsory lady love's face.

With My Hands Tied / int_9d47a2a2	comment	In A Song of Ice and Fire, Jaime Lannister, an in-universe Memetic Badass and widely considered to be the greatest fighter in the Seven Kingdoms, gets into a sword fight with Brienne of Tarth, whose first on-screen action was to defeat something like forty other knights, including a young knight who is generally thought of as the new Jaime. Jaime's hands are shackled together at the time, and he'd been locked in a dungeon for some time prior to the fight. Brienne is arguably also hampered in that fight by her oath not to do any harm to Jaime until they reach their destination, and is on the defensive until he starts to taunt her. They fight for what's implied to be the better part of a day, and by the time they're done they've both lost their swords and been injured. It only ends when they're interrupted while grappling. Most fans give that fight to Brienne, as she was (successfully, until the interruption) trying to drown Jaime in a creek. Each is astonished at the other's skill, with Jaime later judging the strength of his opponents by Brienne (and finding them wanting,) and Brienne mentioning that no knight she's ever faced would be able to withstand Jaime at his full strength. Leading to the funniest exchange in the whole book (paraphrased): It's been not so subtly hinted that Jaime Lannister is (or was, in his youth) the greatest living blade on Westeros. Brienne was no slouch but its implied that most of the warriors of the new generation haven't learned to fight in real battles. The distinction between being good in tournaments and being really good is discussed by Jaime and Barristan Selmy.

Before that, Big Bad Hody Jones wipes out a whole pirate crew (albeit underwater where fish-men have an advantage, and pumped up on stimulants) with his hands shackled together. One pirate realizes that the handcuffs are to show just how outmatched the crew is compared to Hody. Trying to restrain main character in handcuffs usually doesn't work out. Just as an example: Mr 3 put his legs in wax shackles, so he used them as a weapon. Eneru encased his hand into a giant golden ball to hold him back. Luffy not only used it to destabilize a giant electric bomb, but also dealt a finishing blow with it. Despite Doflamingo gaining a considerable advantage, after he tied his hands behind his back, Luffy was still able to block both Doflamingo's string clone and a string-controlled Bellamy, with only his feet. Ace also managed to fight off several Impel Down guards with his hands chained behind his back.

In his case it is not a self-imposed handicap but rather a sign of respect for a gangster who taught him everything he knows about the life. Jhun Hoon always fights with one hand behind his back, and because he's a Taekwondo practicioner, he doesn't even use that. Iori Yagami has the legs of his pants tied with a belt, and he still has an awesome footwork (have him perform a hard kick up close to the foe; he stretches his leg almost vertically but somehow doesn't pull his standing leg out from under himself), although in his case it's more of a fashion statement than an intentional handicap.

With My Hands Tied / int_ce50887e	comment	Dragon Ball During the Red Ribbon Arc, hired assassin Tao Pai Pai combined this with the Worf Effect by killing General Blue under these circumstances, by using his tongue to press on his temple. Both Commander Red and Staff Officer Black are spooked by this, considering Blue had nearly killed Goku earlier in the story. At the climax of the initial Demon King Piccolo storyline, Piccolo gets Goku to stand and take his long distance attacks by threatening to kill Tenshinhan. Goku had already had one leg broken at this point, and Piccolo uses the circumstances to break Goku's other leg and one of his arms before taking off to finish Goku with death from above. Goku manages to use that one working arm to counterattack with a Kamehameha to propel himself into the air, punching a hole through King Piccolo. When Goku and Piccolo fight in the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai, Piccolo gets Goku with a lucky shot then breaks each of Goku's arms and legs, remembering what happened in their previous fight. Then he unleashes a blast that apparently vaporizes the hero...but it turns out Goku learned how to fly during the Time Skip, and uses the momentum to knock Piccolo out of the ring, winning the match.

With My Hands Tied / int_ec28245c	comment	Dragon Ball Z: Frieza manages to do this when he took on Nail In this case it was less to prove himself and more to keep himself entertained. He even intentionally exposes his neck, but his power is so enormous he doesn't sustain a single injury. Subverted in the early portion of Goku's fight with Frieza, where the latter offers to fight without his arms (leaving only his legs and tail). To Frieza's surprise Goku puts up enough of a fight that he's forced to use one of his arms, and is not amused that Goku managed to accomplish it. Later on during the 25th Budokai in the Buu Arc, Trunks makes a bet with Goten that he could beat him with only one arm. Similar to Frieza, Trunks is forced to use it and isn't very happy that Goten pushed him to that limit. Vegetto makes a similar bluff to Super Buu, which is ultimately a plot to annoy him so much that he'll absorb Vegetto, allowing him to rescue the others Buu has absorbed. This is why you might find Vegetto's fighting style includes a lot of kicking in the video games; Vegetto isn't featured very long so most of his moves were with his legs.
