* Blood+: In the anime, during a battle with the Schiff, Hagi returns to Saya's hiding spot with weapons still piercing him. He later becomes a human, er, chiropteran pincushion as he is impaled and pinned to a tree with just about every one of the Schiff's weapons, eventually walking the spear still in the tree through himself to escape.
** In the Blood+ Adagio manga, Hagi becomes a pincushion as multiple swords are driven into him to prove his immortality. Just because he's immortal, doesn't mean the poor guy can't feel pain.

Alternatively, this trope can also be invoked through a character's particularly gruesome death, where the victim is pierced in a similar manner but does not quite fare as well as their seemingly-invincible counterpart. In this case, the odds and ends stuck in the victim's body underscore the brutal fate, along with adding unintentional NauseaFuel for those with weak stomachs.
Either way, having a character with multiple objects sticking out of them adds a touch of dramatic tension, while highlighting that character's BadAss qualities (even if they die, it's a pretty BadAss way to go). Note, however, that for this trope to have been truly invoked, the work must feature a character with a sufficient amount of projectiles/weapons stuck in their body, typically at least 4 or 5. Otherwise, the atmosphere created isn't quite the same.
Compare ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice for characters being viciously impaled by various implements, AnnoyingArrows for projectiles being treated untruthfully in fiction, OnlyAFleshWound for wounds that do little to slow an attacker down, and DeathByAThousandCuts for deaths involving a long repetition of small cuts or hits.

* ''BrutalLegend'': The Tainted Coil's Punishing Party unit in Brutal Legend consists of several Dominatrices and the Slave. The Slave is a big demon with a truckload of arrows, swords, and other pointy objects stuck in his body. Punishing Party's basic attack is tearing out a projectile from the Slave's flesh and hurling it at the enemies.
* ''DungeonSiege'': Particularly visible throughout the series and downright ridiculous in "winter" areas, where opponents tend to use large ice shards instead of arrows.
* ''TeamFortress2'': Arrows shot into a ragdoll will persist until they die and their bodies fade, so [[TheBigGuy Heavy Weapons Guys]] in particular will be seen having multiple arrows protruding from their bodies (and shooting non-fatal arrows thusly earns a Huntsman-wielding Sniper an achievement).
