* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': While Duane's assasins were pinning him to the ground and beating him to death his daughter Mikaila tried using magic to blind them with light. One turned and stuck their sword straight through her chest in response.

[[folder:Mythology and Religion]]
* [[Literature/TheBible Biblical]] examples:
** In Numbers chapter 25, Phinehas son of Eleazar took a javelin and pierced through the bodies of Zimri son of Salu and Cozbi the Midianite woman as they were alone in his tent together, thus stopping the plague God sent upon the Israelites for their idolatry and sexual immorality by joining themselves with the Midianites at Baal-Peor.
** In Judges 4, the enemy commander Sisera is fleeing a losing battle with the Israelites. Jael, wife of Heber, invites him into her tent, waits until he is asleep, and drives a tent peg straight through his temple.
** In the book of Esther, some translations have Haman plotting to impale Mordecai on a sharp pole. After his treachery is discovered by the king, [[HoistByHisOwnPetard he is impaled on the pole]]. Remember Haman ordering a gallows built 50 cubits high? (or 22.86 '''METERS''') That's Haman being impaled on a 22 meter high tree and hoisted up so he can slide......slowly......down.....

->''"Look at that. I've been impaled."''

* As mentioned in the ''Manga/DetectiveConan'' example, there exist a number of tall buildings with flagpoles in front of them in RealLife. Invariably, urban legends (sometimes true) spring up of suicide jumpers missing the ground and hitting the pole instead, resulting in this trope. A Google search will confirm that an incident like this occurred in the 1970s at the [[http://www.city-data.com/forum/attachments/new-york/12661d1199674683-main-street-down-town-buffalo-ny-downtown8.jpg Buffalo, NY City Hall.]]

* Women under the aforementioned UsefulNotes/VladTheImpaler's rule who committed sexual crimes (adultery, prostitution, premarital sex) would be [[GroinAttack impaled through their vaginas as punishment]].

** Happens to both fighters in ''[[VideoGame/MetalGear Raiden]] vs. Franchise/{{Wolverine}}. Between Raiden's sheer durability and Wolverine's healing factor, it doesn't faze them much.

-->--''Literature/TheGoneAwayWorld''

** In ''ComicBook/Deadpool vs. ComicBook/Deathstroke'', both end up impaling each other partway through, though because of their healing factors, neither sticks.

** In ''[[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Blake]] vs. [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Mikasa]], [[spoiler:Mikasa ends up getting impaled by one of her own Thunder Spears. The initial impalement doesn't kill Mikasa, but then Blake [[StuffBlowingUp detonates it]], [[NoBodyLeftBehind which obliterates Mikasa on the spot.]]

** In ''[[WebAnimation/{{RWBY Blake}}]] vs. [[Manga/AttackOnTitan Mikasa]], [[spoiler:Mikasa ends up getting impaled by one of her own Thunder Spears. The initial impalement doesn't kill Mikasa, but then Blake [[StuffBlowingUp detonates it]], [[NoBodyLeftBehind which obliterates Mikasa on the spot.]]

* In ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'', [[spoiler: Junko Enoshima]] loses it after the first murder and kicks Monokuma, breaking one of the rules ("never attack the Headmaster"). As punishment, Monokuma uses the "Spears of Gungnir", in which he magically summons ''multiple spears out of friggin' nowhere'' and in front of everyone he impales [[spoiler:Junko]] through the torso. [[spoiler:Or better said, he impales ''Junko's twin sister Mukuro who's posing as her'' through the torso. But the players won't know it until much, much later.]] In [[TheAnimeOfTheGame the anime version]], [[http://i44.tinypic.com/e9hef5.jpg this particular death]] goes straight into HumanPincushion levels.

->Tucker Foyle slides slowly forward onto his spar. He has a bullet wound in his back, at the shoulder. This itself would not be such a terrible thing, but the impact has driven him onto the wooden spike resting onto his chin. Tucker has been impaled. He is not dead. He will not die for several minutes, but die he will and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.

* A number of characters in ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' die by being impaled in all three versions, but the one that fits this trope best (mostly in the "dispatching of a BigBad" way) occurs at the end of v1 where [[spoiler:Adam Dodd uses a katana to pin Cody Jenson to a tree, and then uses a knife to carve the word "Rapist" into his chest as he bleeds to death. Cody dies before Adam finishes carving, but he doesn't care.]]
