* Pyramid Head can be seen dragging off and raping one of the Mannequins in ''SilentHill2''.
* Happens in ''InfiniteUndiscovery''. It's amusing in that Aya is casually dragging and berating Capell at the time for his irresponsibility and Capell, in a suit of armor mind you, doesn't offer any resistance beyond stubbornly crossing his arms.
* In one sidequest in SuikodenII, Tengaar and a village chief NPC will set up an obviously fake "trial" for Tengaar's boyfriend Hix to prove himself a true warrior, requiring him to [[FetchQuest retrieve certain items]]. Hix will fall for the act completely and dash straight out to get each trinket upon being told where it is. Depending on the player's choices, Riou can either be just as gullible as Hix, or he can point out all the oddities of the situation (Tengaar sneezing when she should be unconscious, for instance), at which point Hix will drag him off anyway via this trope.

* [[ShinryakuIkaMusume Ika Musume]] gets dragged off after getting drop-kicked in the head by Eiko in episode 5.

* One of the BoringButPractical skills introduced in ''[[{{Tenchu}} Tenchu 2]]''.

* In Baek's ''[[{{Tekken}} Tekken 5]]'' ending, Hwoarang gets dragged away (''complete with puppy-dog eyes'') by his master after he caught his student fighting with some thugs.

See also NecktieLeash (which is similar to this, only done for flirtatious or sexual reasons). Compare and contrast with TheLoad, where the victim actually wants to tag along, but the other characters won't let him. For a DarkerAndEdgier version of this trope, where the very act of dragging causes injury or even the death of the victim, see WhatADrag.

* After defeating Rayquaza in the Subspace Emissary of ''SuperSmashBros Brawl'', Fox is ready to leave but Diddy wants him to help rescue DK. Fox wouldn't hear any of it so Diddy just grabs him by the collar and drags him. The scene is later repeated when Falco arrives, with Fox gleefully following as Diddy does the same to him.

* In ''SaintBeast'', instead of waiting for Shiva to say he'll help them with the festival preparations, Gai grabs his wrist and starts dragging him along with them. This upsets Shiva even further and he violently wrenches away and runs off.

* In ''HeavyRain'', when Madison gets killed in [[DownloadableContent The Taxidermist]], the killer drags her to his bathroom to ''stuff her up''

!Examples:

* Happens in the "darker and edgier and unconscious variant" in the intro scene of the 16th episode of [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry Higurashi]] (yes, the intro of THAT Arc).

* In ''[[Film/IndependenceDay ID4]]'', Steven Hiller (''played by Will Smith'') knocks out an alien and drags its body in the middle of a desert on the way to {{Area 51}}, all the while complaining to himself of all the crap he's been through up to that point.
--> '''''[[BerserkButton "...AND WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SMELL!?"]]''''' *curbstomps alien*
* In ''SupermanReturns'', a [[BroughtDownToNormal depowered]] Superman gets dragged away from Lex Luthor by his henchmen, who then take turns beating him up.

* A cruel yet ironically justified version happens in ''{{Predators}}'', when Royce (Adrien Brody) drags of a critically-wounded Edwin (Topher Grace) [[spoiler:after he tried to kill Royce and Isabelle.]]

* Anak from ''TowerOfGod'' drags Ship Leesoo off as she and Hatsu go to support Baam with his final test. A later discussion between Ship and Koon reveals that he wasn't that reluctant after all.

* In TowerOfGod, Anak Zahard and Hatsu have made the decision to take part in an extremely challenging test for the sake of a friend, they coolly walk off the stage they are on, dragging a screaming and protesting Ship Leesoo, their other team mate, behind them by the back of his shirt.

* Done to horrific effect in ''Film/{{Spider-Man}} 2'', when one of Otto Octavius' rampaging tentacles drags away a screaming doctor complete with her futile attempt to cling to the floor with her nails, leaving a straight, clawed-out trail into the dark corner where she was dragged into.

* In ''Webcomic/ChibiMikusan'', Defoko often has to drag Momo away from Chibi-Miku when she gets [[FriendToAllChildren a little bit too affectionate]].

* In ''{{Amagami}}'', Haruka gets dragged away from the swim team's Oden stall by Hibiki... followed shortly by a drunk Takahashi-sensei, by the members of Ayatsuji's student council.
* In ''[[{{K-ON}} K-On!]]'', Mio gets dragged by Ritsu to rehearse for their ''Romeo and Juliet'' school play. To be fair, Ritsu is [[TakingYouWithMe also part of the mess]] — Mio plays ''[[IncrediblyLamePun Romio]]'' and [[PlayingAgainstType Ritsu plays]] ''[[PlayingAgainstType Juliet]]''.

* Misaki constantly beats up and drags away the ComicTrio in ''[[MaidSama Kaichou wa Maid-sama!]]''.

* It's very common in ''RanmaOneHalf'' to have someone, usually in a despondent mood, drag a bemused Ranma along by his braid (sometimes in the middle of a run, causing him to hover in the puller's wake.) Strangely, he's only slightly bewildered but otherwise nonplussed when they drag him while he's male; when female, it always hurts enough to make her scream and flail around.
* Happens in the "darker and edgier and unconscious variant" in the intro scene of the 16th episode of [[HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi Higurashi]] (yes, the intro of THAT Arc).

* ''[[Anime/TheIdolmaster THE iDOLM@STER]]'' - Makoto does this to the Producer during their ''[[NotADate date]]'' at the amusement park.

* It's very common in ''[[RanmaOneHalf Ranma 1/2]]'' to have someone, usually in a despondent mood, drag a bemused Ranma along by his braid (sometimes in the middle of a run, causing him to hover in the puller's wake.) Strangely, he's only slightly bewildered but otherwise nonplussed when they drag him while he's male; when female, it always hurts enough to make her scream and flail around.

* In ''[[{{ChibiMiku-san}} Chibi Miku-san]]'', Defoko often has to drag Momo away from Chibi-Miku when she gets [[FriendToAllChildren a little bit too affectionate]].

* Hughes does this a lot in ''FullmetalAlchemist'', prompting Ed to call him a kidnapper.

* The trope's image above comes from ''[[Manga/PetitRoid3 Petit Roid 3]]''.

* Also a part of Snake's skill set in the ''MetalGear'' series. Works both ways (''Snake can drag away conscious soldiers by putting them in a chokehold, and for the unconscious/dead, by the torso or legs'').
