Amputations in Western Animation.
- Amphibia: Grime loses his left arm protecting Sasha from Darcy in "All In".
- Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers: It's implied that Zachary Foxx's bionics had to be installed due to injuries he received in the pilot episode. He takes a couple of direct blaster hits to his left side.
- Adventures of the Gummi Bears; in one episode, Gruffi uses a mechanical suit of armor to infiltrate Igthorn's castle and rescue King Gregor. When its arm is clubbed off while fighting Igthorn's ogre, the bad guys are surprised when it casually picks it up and reattaches it. Well, it looks like it's doing so casually. As a shot of Gruffi fixing it inside the suit reveals, sweating and worried as he does so, it's not as easy as it looks.
- Adventure Time:
- Shoko's parents sold her right arm for a computer.
- It's heavily implied through the show that Finn, Shoko's reincarnation, is also going to lose his right arm at some point. Three different possible visions of the future and a view into an Alternate Universe show him with a prosthetic arm, and a cursed sword is now attached to the same arm. It does indeed happen at the beginning of the sixth season, as a result of him and said cursed sword trying to pull back a chunk of dead guardian that his biological father was riding away on. He eventually gets a robotic arm, only to lose it in the Grand Finale "Come Along With Me". The sequel ministries Adventure Time: Distant Lands show that he still doesn't have an arm as an adult, but he eventually got another mechanical arm some time before his death.
- Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot: In the episode "The Champ", Big Guy fights with an alien invader, Po, who threatens to blow up the Earth if his challenge is refused. As a gesture of good faith, Big Guy offers a handshake at the start of the fight. Po uses this as an opportunity to yank Big Guy off of his feet. During their rematch later that episode, Big Guy offers a handshake again, and Po once again takes advantage... except this time the arm was meant to come off and explodes hilariously in Po's face.
- The Dragon Prince: Because she failed, and later refused, to assassinate Prince Ezran, Rayla begins slowly losing function and feeling in her left hand via an enchanted wristband, which she says will continue until she completely loses it. However, she's willing to pay that price to keep Ezran alive. However, when Azymandias (the actual Dragon Prince) hatches, he easily rips off the bracelet, sparing her hand.
- The Fairly OddParents!: A Time Travel episode involves a knight who hurt his arm attempting to pull out Excalibur. Throughout the episode, he ends up hurting his arm every time he moves it, until it pops right off. It's immediately eaten by hungry peasants.
- Final Space: In Episode 2, the Lord Commander uses his telepathic powers to tear off Gary's left arm. He gets a robot arm as a replacement for the rest of the series.
- Wilt on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends notably has had one of his arms amputated, the reason for which is explained in the special Good Wilt Hunting: His last basketball match before he retired out of shame ended with his opponent falling on that arm, leaving it inoperable.
- Futurama:
- In "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love", Fry gets his arm cut off by Zoidberg during their duel. He picks it up, hulks out, and smacks Zoidberg down with said arm. It gets reattached later... on the wrong side.
- Fry has also had his hands bitten off and devoured by T. rex in "I Dated a Robot".
- Bender's arms are prone to falling off. He somehow reinstalls them every time.
- The Hollow: The Last Ironwood Tree's missing left branch is the MacGuffin that Adam, Mira, and Kai have to find in order to get back home.
- Justice League: In the episode "The Enemy Below", Aquaman cuts off his hand to save his son.
- In the second season of Legion of Super Heroes (2006), Lightning Lad's arm is blasted off by one Imperiex's cannon blasts. He later has a mechanical replacement fitted.
- The Owl House: Due to a curse inflicted on her, Eda demonstrates the ability to detach her body parts and have them move about independently of herself, which she sometimes does for fun, and which also extends to her head on one occasion. However, in "King's Tide", Raine rips off her right arm just below the elbow to save her from the curse's effect on the draining spell. The arm promptly disintegrates, meaning that she's lost it forever.
- The Simpsons:
- Homer Simpson does this to most of his limbs in one Halloween Episode.
- Herman the weapons store owner, who apparently lost one of his arms after "his teacher told him not to stick his arm out the school bus window." Though "To Cur with Love" shows that he lost it while he was hitchhiking and Grampa's car sped past and knocked it off.
- In "Homer's Triple Bypass", Dr. Nick replaces one of his patients' legs with an arm and one of his arms with a leg.
- In "Faith Off", Springfield University's star football player Anton Lubchenko returns to the field after Bart tries to heal his broken leg, and attempts to win the game with a field goal. He succeeds... because he inadvertently flings his own leg off, which goes on to kick the ball a second time in mid-air, propelling it just far enough to make the goal.
- In SpongeBob SquarePants, Mr. Krabs's attempt to retrieve a stray dime in "Squid's Day Off" lands him in the hospital due to this trope.Mr. Krabs: ME ARMS!
SpongeBob: Oh, No... Not Again! - Star Wars: The Clone Wars:
- "Duel of the Droids": Ahsoka uses the shock from the station's reactor exploding to push Grievous's hand so that the lightsaber he's holding slices off the hand he's using to hold her in a Neck Lift.
- "Lair of Grievous": Kit Fisto chops off Grievous's legs when they ambush him coming into his lair. His many arms and waiting replacement parts means that he crawls away using the ceiling and walls anyway. (Grievous loses limbs rather frequently, given how many times he appears on this page.)
- "Revival": Savage Opress gets his right arm cut off by Obi-Wan Kenobi, and then Darth Maul gets one of his prosthetic legs shot off by Hondo Ohnaka's pirates. Both of them get replacements in the next episode.
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012): In the episode "The Tale of Tiger Claw", Tiger Claw's mutant sister Alopex decides to spare her brother's life. But when he tries to shoot her in the back, she proceeds to cut off his right arm, warning him that she could've easily taken his life instead.
- In the original ThunderCats, a villain threatens to do this to a hostage during a Prison Riot unless Mandora surrenders. (The hostage is an android, possibly why the writers figured it wouldn't matter, but that doesn't make the poor guy's pleas for mercy sound any less discomforting. Fortunately, Mandora agrees and they let him go.)
- ThunderCats (2011) manages to pull this off despite an affinity for Bloodless Carnage.
- "Ramlak Rising" gives us a Type 3 in the peg-legged Fishman Captain Koinelius Tunar, who lost his leg (and an eye) to the titular Ramlak, a Sand Sea monster who destroyed his people's homeland.
- "Between Brothers" has a Type 2 when Panthro, in an effort to defeat his Arch-Enemy Grune, restrains him on the threshold of a collapsing magical portal, fully expecting to die with him when it closes. Instead, Panthro suffers an instantly-cauterizing Portal Cut, losing both arms mid-bicep.
- Transformers: Cyberverse: The post-series movie The Immobilizers ends with Soundblaster losing both of his legs.
- Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) has Dr. Curt Connors, whose arm gets crushed at the end of the first season when the Green Goblin attacks the Helicarrier. His arm is amputated between seasons, and the direct consequences of this lead to him becoming the Lizard in Season 2.
- Wakfu:
- Qilby lost his left arm when Phaeris the dragon bit it off when he helped end Qilby's world-wrecking rampage in the past.
- In the OVAs, Sadlygrove loses his right arm to a dragon in the battle against Ogrest. In Season 3, Rubilax agrees to perform a Fusion Dance to replace the arm.
- In Young Justice (2010), the original Roy Harper/"Speedy" has part of his right arm amputated by Cadmus scientists, from which they draw DNA to perfect their cloning technology for the creation of the second Roy Harper/"Red Arrow". He's later able to replace it with a high-tech weapon developed by LexCorp, whereupon he takes on the name "Arsenal".
