History Main / ShockCollar

* In ''Literature/TheRisingOfTheShieldHero'', slaves are marked on the chest with a magical brand that binds them to the will of their master. If they try to disobey orders or even ''lie'' when they're asked a question, it shocks them. [[spoiler:In the anime and manga, this is ''weaponized'' during the trial against notorious CompulsiveLiar Malty S. Melromarc, whose FalseRapeAccusation against Naofumi kicked off the plot and led to much grief for him, leading to his exoneration.]]

* The eponymous hero wears one in ''Film/HellComesToFrogtown''.

* In ''Film/CrankHighVoltage'', Chev Chelios encounters two assholes that are torturing a dog with a shock collar even though it was obeying their commands. Chev tells them off, takes the collar, and puts it on. He then makes them shock him to power up his artificial heart.

How it actually works is nearly always undefined. It's a metal ring, it hurts, end of statement. Sometimes it is electricity for some ElectricTorture, sometimes it's a generic AgonyBeam generated by some alien {{technobabble}}. It makes a good RestrainingBolt for the plot, you can even spin some plot lines out of how to get it off (especially if it's designed to go off automatically if tampered with), and sometimes it'll have the added feature of being able to be pumped up to deadly levels so that it can also be, effectively, an ExplosiveLeash. On other occasions, expect some fun with Pavlovian conditioning.

* Present Mic is fitted with one in the ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fic ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/27853170/chapters/68194306 Pulse and Void]]'' as extra insurance against his SuperScream, even though he also has a muzzle welded onto his head. He obviously still cries out a lot as he’s basically brutalized, because the flesh beneath is bright red, blistered and outright charred black when it’s finally cut off him.

* In the "Queen of the Adriatic Sea Arc" in ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'', several of Biagio Busoni's enslaved nuns are [[GoGoEnslavement forced to wear enchanted clothing]] that causes them incredible pain if they try to escape or use magic. Sisters Lucia and Angeline manage to modify their clothes to power up their magic instead, but they still experience pain when they get out. Touma's [[AntiMagic Imagine Breaker]] is used to destroy them.

** The aliens in the episode "Rite Of Passage" put shock wristbands on the humans they were raising to prevent them from trying to leave their enclosure. It wasn't due to malice; the woods were full of dangerous creatures.
** "The Grell" from the episode of the same name are a race of RubberForeheadAliens who were enslaved by humans. They all wear shock collars that electrocute them if they disobey their masters.
** In "Stranded", Tyr'Nar is wearing a security anklet which was placed on him when he was captured by a bounty hunter from his planet. It prevents him from leaving the confines of the bounty hunter's ship, giving him an electric shock if he gets too close to the exit. When the ship crashlands on Earth (having been sabotaged by Tyr'Nar), he enlists the help of Kevin Buchanan in his attempts to remove it. He is eventually able to do so using a hacksaw and a blowtorch belonging to Kevin's father Alex.

** In Season 3 Root wears a device on her ankle implied to do this if she tries to break out of the Faraday cage Finch has her imprisoned in.
** In "4C", Reese is stuck on an airplane with the VictimOfTheWeek whom he finds rather annoying. Turns out he's wearing a shock belt, so Reese has a lot of fun with the remote [[PerpSweating until he gets the information he wants.]] Then Reese hands the remote to the stewardess, telling her that it's his beeper and that [[ComedicSociopathy she should 'alert' him if the POI gets out of his seat.]]

* {{Yaoi|genre}} series ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'''s plot revolves around how BadassBiker Riki was made into a SexSlave by [[FetishizedAbuser Iason Mink]]. Each "Pet" gets an identity ring in the standard form of jewelry like earrings, necklaces and such. Iason uniquely makes Riki's a cock ring which doubles as a RestrainingBolt Shock Collar whenever Riki rebels. Which is often.

* The shock collar comes up from time to time on the dog-training show ''Series/ItsMeOrTheDog'' with owners who use these to try to correct their dog's behavior. These are huge BerserkButton for host Victoria Stillwell, who feels that they are basically akin to torture and not a genuine way of properly training a dog. Anytime she encounters somebody using one, she will immediately call them out for it and put an end to it.

* The [[AwesomeMcCoolname eponymous hero]] wears one in ''Film/HellComesToFrogtown''.

* {{Yaoi|genre}} series ''LightNovel/AiNoKusabi'''s plot revolves around how BadassBiker Riki was made into a SexSlave by [[BastardBoyfriend Iason Mink]]. Each "Pet" gets an identity ring in the standard form of jewelry like earrings, necklaces and such. Iason uniquely makes Riki's a cock ring which doubles as a RestrainingBolt Shock Collar whenever Riki rebels. Which is often.

The concept of a Shock Collar is simple: A character is forced to wear a SlaveCollar or torc and when he does something undesirable, as designated by whoever put the collar on him, he is shocked. Such things exist in real life for dogs, but it is more likely that the trope is in use as a way to replicate the iron slave collar with a SpeculativeFiction twist.

* The inhibitor collars in ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'', designed primarily to nullify superpowers, also contain this feature as they are used primarily on dangerous convicts and slaves.
