*** Also in Part 2, Santana (Santviento in the dub) gets inflicted with this after Jojo defeats him by tricking him into jumping into a well with the sunlight shining directly into it. The sunlight causes Santviento to revert back to his statue state. After this, the Speedwagon Foundation takes custody of him, where he's held, still alive, immobilized by UV lights.

Added example under "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure"


** In Part 2 ''[[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Battle Tendency]]'', the BigBad Kars becomes the UltimateLifeForm courtesy of the [[MineralMacGuffin Red Stone of Aja]], immortal in every sense of the word and immune to every means of physical harm, including sunlight and Hamon by derivation. In his final battle with TheHero Joseph Joestar, Kars is thrown out of the Earth's atmosphere via a volcanic eruption. As he tries to return to the planet, all attempts fail as Kars freezes up in the cold vacuum of space, causing his body's AdaptiveAbility to twist itself into an amalgamation of organic flesh and hard minerals to survive. He's left to drift through space forever, alive and fully conscious but unable to die or escape his fate, and eventually simply stops thinking altogether.

** This was intended to be the fate of [[spoiler:Emperor Barodius]] by Code Eve, the god of the Bakugan, as punishment for [[spoiler:attempting to destroy a peaceful planet in pursuit of power]]. And she was quite thorough about it. [[spoiler:She imprisoned him in armor [[MadeOfEvil crafted from his own evil]], [[SealedEvilInACan sealed him in another universe]], and [[OrcusOnHisThrone left him tied to his throne]] for all eternity with only his own madness and his equally insane guardian Bakugan to keep him company. By the time we actually see him again, he's gone ''completely insane'', [[ThatManIsDead declared his old self dead]], and invented a new persona for himself called Mag Mel. Unfortunately, he had a PsychicLink to [[TheHero Dan]] that let him absorb Chaos Energy to escape, but if it weren't for that it'd be a rather [[KarmicDeath karmic end]]]].
** Bakugan sent to the doom dimension suffer from this. The place is so inhospitable that they are forced into a dormant state where all they can do is think about how much they hate their situation, except for Reaper who stays conscious but gets hideously wounded.

* A RareRaremon gets trapped beneath garbage, then gets continually crushed by more and more garbage dumped there as they attempt to regenerate. Caught in a ViciousCycle of breakdown and regeneration, RareRaremon ends up in perpetual agony and goes completely mad. In a vain attempt to soothe their pain, RareRaremon begins turning the bones of dead animals into zombies to capture living creatures it can consume. Realizing that RareRaremon has been broken beyond recovery, the heroes perform a MercyKill on them. It’s the first time where the heroes all collectively choose to kill a Digimon.
* A Piedmon, who made a hobby of turning Digimon into playing cards in the Digital World, does the same to humans on Earth. When Ruli touches one of the cards in Piedmon’s “collection”, she can ''hear the screams of the girl who was turned into it,'' meaning all of Piedmon’s victims remain aware while trapped as cards.

[[spoiler: This happened first to the Fourth Hokage (who also sealed the Yin half of the Nine-Tails chakra into himself), then the First and Second Hokages. The Third intended to do this to Orochimaru as well, but Orochimaru weakened him before he could do it, but the Third was able to take his arms before he himself was sealed in the Reaper too. This is undone in Shippuden when Orochimaru undoes the Reaper Death Seal and Reanimates the past Hokage so that Sasuke could speak to them. Later, the Sage of Six Paths then releases the past Hokages’ souls to the afterlife, finally granting them peace.]]

* ''Anime/DigimonGhostGame'': Being a Digimon series that focuses a lot on horror, this series has several examples of this trope:
** Digimon struck by [=MetalPhantomon’s=] scythe don’t die, but instead, they get sucked into the scythe itself as living energy, with no means to escape.
** An evil Digimon named Phelesmon, taking a disguise as a human fortuneteller, lures in unwitting humans before sicking Boogiemon minions on them, terrifying the people to feed on their fear before turning them into statues.
** A Cherrymon, taking refuge in a forest, captures innocent hitchhikers and workers there, trapping them in trees to slowly assimilate them to create tree rings.
** A Pixiemon scatters people across different time periods. While a victim is set adrift in time, they encounter a shadowy double of themselves. The double then attacks them, absorbing their features until they resemble the original, while leaving the original as a LivingShadow who cannot speak.
** A human scientist manages to capture a Morphomon in the internet. The hapless Morphomon, desperate for help, uses a decommissioned satellite to release an SOS signal. However, due to Morphomon’s distress, the SOS emerges in the real world as a virus that turns Digimon feral. The virus infects Angoramon, but unlike its other victims, he remains self-aware as the virus causes him to lose control, begging Ruli to run away from him.

As for other examples, a few characters are eaten alive by roaches from the inside out, some are given to be nests for a parasitic being's offspring, many offscreen are made a SexSlave of a sadistic vampire, one is kept to be personally used as torture practice by Albedo, one has his mind warped non-stop and finally several people are repeatedly skinned alive and used as breeding slaves alongside other terrible experiments done to them by Demiurge. The catch with all these? The servants of the Sorcerer Kingdom are all well-versed in healing and resurrection magics, meaning all these could potentially be extended indefinitely.

* ''LightNovel/DungeonMasterWantsToSleepNowAndForever'': At one point, Haku manipulates an evil hero into raiding the Cave of Greed so that Keima and Rokuko can use the opportunity to assassinate him. The problem is this hero has the ability of [[HealingFactor Super Healing]], which lets him regenerate from nearly any wound and even prevents exhaustion and the need to sleep. So, how do you take out someone like that? Keima traps him in a respawned dungeon wall, which is then sealed away where no other adventurers could ever rescue him. He's still alive, as he's so scared of death that he keeps continually using his ability to keep himself alive and healthy despite being literally unable to do anything else, but that just makes him an excellent source of continuous DP collection for the dungeon.

In his final battle with TheHero Joseph Joestar, Kars is thrown out of the Earth's atmosphere due to a volcanic eruption. As he tries to reenter the Earth's atmosphere, his body slowly freezes up and turns to stone to keep him alive. He's left to drift through space forever, alive and conscious but unable to die or escape his fate, and eventually simply stops thinking altogether.
