* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}!'''s [[AxCrazy Claire]] [[PsychoForHire Stanfield]] doesn't really care ''what'' he uses to kill people with, just as long as the [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill end result is really,]] ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill really]]'' [[{{Gorn}} bloody]]. Examples include guns, knives, scissors, rope, railroad tracks, his bare hands, and his own ''teeth''.
* Kaname from ''FullMetalPanic!'', arguably. She knocked Sōsuke out using the second base from the school baseball field by throwing it and hitting him right in the base of the neck. ImprovisedWeapon Master, indeed.
** Sōsuke does this sometimes. There was one occasion where he took down an attacking Savage by uprooting a tree and throwing it straight into the Savage's head. It counts because he did have a gun at that time. On another, he was forbidden from using weapons (in his interpretation, firearms) in a fight; he whipped out a fire extinguisher instead.
* ''GunXSword'': Ray Lundgren's [[HumongousMecha Vulcan]] was originally a mining machine his wife built. In the series proper, it's a MightyGlacier with [[MoreDakka a lot of guns]] and seems to be capable of producing more power than an Original Seven armor.
* In ''RanmaOneHalf'', there is a thin line separating any given martial artist from being a practitioner of this trope or an ImprobableWeaponUser. Of the main characters, however, Ranma Saotome and Akane Tendō are the ones who come closest to this, being ready, willing and able to pick up and use anything that is around as a weapon. Being practitioners of SupernaturalMartialArts may disqualify them though... how is a lawn roller (a large cylinder of concrete attached to an iron handle bar, used to flatten landscapes) an improvised weapon when you're strong enough to throw it?
** Then there is Mousse, whose style is not only the ability to conceal all sorts of weapons, but to use any possible object as a weapon.
* In ''KenichiTheMightiestDisciple'', Shigure is told not to use bladed weapons against a group of attackers [[LudicrousGibs for obvious reasons]]. So she slices apart their weapons with a wooden rice spoon.
** And later she defeats them with a sword controller.
** She also used a newspaper and long light bulb against Kenichi for training
** Once she used her hairband because she didn't have a weapon on her [[FullFrontalAssault for obvious reasons]]
* ''OnePiece'': SupremeChef Sanji normally refuses to use knives in combat, despite being extremely skilled with them. He reasons that a chef's knives are tools for preparing food, not weapons. However, against one opponent that uses food as a weapon (which trips his BerserkButton, he ''hates'' people who waste food) he does not face this restriction.
* ''DarkerThanBlack'': Hei doesn't use this trope excessively in season one, but come season two and he pulls out all the stops[[hottip:* :since he suddenly [[BroughtDownToBadass has to be a little more creative]]...]]. He explicitly explains the concept of using this in combat, then demonstrates it by distracting Suou with a few thrown nuts and bolts, followed swiftly by a snowball flung hard enough to floor her and leave a mark on her face that persisted for the rest of the day.
** Suou learns this trope well, and is shown using it with disturbingly effective results when [[spoiler:rescuing July. She flings shards of glass like they were shuriken, hitting her target in startlingly vital and painful areas.]]
** Someone had Hei disarmed [[NoMisterBondIExpectYouToDine and was trying to recruit him over lunch]]-- he {{Hannibal Lecture}}d the guy off guard, grabbed a dull table knife, and slammed it through his hand, pinning it to the table.
* Things that ''{{Durarara}}'''s Shizuo Heiwajima uses as weapons: crowbars, trash cans, traffic signs (up to and including those giant ones for freeways), guardrails, mailboxes, playground equipment, park benches, vending machines, motorbikes, van doors..the list goes on. If it has even a minor chance of breaking every bone in Izaya's body, he's probably going to use it as a weapon.
** Shizuo is, naturally, not the only one to improvise weapons (although he is the only one so far to [[GrievousHarmWithABody weaponize a Power Ranger]]) -- others resort to more manageable items like pens (Seiji, [[spoiler:Mikado]]), Jimmy bars ([[spoiler:Kida]]), soldering irons ([[spoiler:Walker and Erika]]) or garden trowels ([[spoiler:Mika]])
* ''MoribitoGuardianOfTheSpirit'': Balsa isn't above smashing your face in with a rock if she loses her spear in a fight. [[MamaBear She will do anything to protect Chagum from harm.]]
* Though it usually uses more-or-less conventional weapons, ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' had one example of unusual weapon choice. Specifically, Asuka in ''[=EoE=]''. Battery of self-propelled rocket launchers, [[StuffBlowingUp meet]] the frontal armor of a naval battleship.
** That triangular tower shield first used in the sniper mission? It's part of a space shuttle.
* In ''Manga/BlackButler'', Sebastian fights a mafia group in a mansion using the dinner plates on the dinner table and the forks and butter knives he snuffed out of Ciel's home. Result = Major badass.
* In the original ''SuperDimensionFortressMacross'' serie, Hikaru Ichijyo once used the gatling cannon of his Valkyrie fighter as a club after finishing all the ammos. In some circles this procedure is called "Ichijyo's maneuver".
** In the novelizations, it is mentioned that many pilots do the same thing during the first battle with the Zentradi on Macross Island. May be considered part of their training or a carryover of actual training in [[PistolWhipping Pistol Whipping]].
* Edward and Alphonse of ''FullmetalAlchemist'' frequently transmute spears out of stone when they need a weapon. On one occasion, Ed transmutes an elaborate sword out of a sea of blood. Roy using Havoc's cigarette lighter to make sparks when his gloves are wet (ItMakesSenseInContext) probably also counts.
* In the final battle of Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann, [[spoiler:the Anti-Spiral throws entire galaxies around like throwing-stars]].
* In ''HeroicAge'', the Silver Tribe gets major improv points for using an ''exploding planet'' as a weapon. When humanity ignites Jupiter in the hope that the fireball will consume the Silver Tribe fleet, they respond by using their shields to collapse the planet-turned-protostar into what appeared to be a gigantic ''nuke'', and directing most of the resulting explosion at the human fleet.
* In the HetaliaBloodbath2010, Spain grabbed whatever he could to protect Netherlands from the ominious figure that attacked Netherlands. [[ShipTease *squee*]]
** Japan ''rolled up a poster and used it as a sword''.
* In TheMovie of ''HyakujuuSentaiGaoranger'', the [=GaoKong=] mecha (a giant red gorilla) arises from an erupting volcano, which sets all the trees in the area on fire, whereupon he grabs the burning trees, twirling them Hawaiian-style before hurling them at the enemy. This scene inspired the Hawaii setting in the fanfic ''The Ultimus Adventure'' (which gives this show the PowerRangers treatment).
* ''KarakuridoujiUltimo'''s Mizho used a crutch to beak a guy's arms....after using {{Pocky}} to attack another guy.
* In episode 5 of ''LightNovel/BodaciousSpacePirates'', Marika, the main character, uses the solar sails aboard the Odette II to blind a ship that's attacking them using optical sights (their electronic sensors were down due to being hacked). She stops short of having the concentrated solar beams melt the enemy ship. Before the Lightning 11 can recover, several other ships arrive to perform a GunShipRescue.
* In a flashback in ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Ino used a ''flower stem'' as an impromptu shuriken. It didn't actually hurt the person Ino threw it at, but she threw it into her mouth and claimed it was poison.
* The grocery store fight in ''UltimateTeacher'' features coins and bananas as projectiles and one guy gets beaten with the microwave oven he was hiding in.
* In ''MaidenRose'', Taki's classmates come by on his first day to haze him armed with {{Broomstick Quarterstaff}}s, Taki promptly improvises with their improvised weapons, using the broom as a sword and tripping people over the buckets, other supplies, and their own comrades.
* Rock of ''BlackLagoon'' used a combination of cleaning fluid and a swift hit to the head from a bowling pin to rescue Yukio from Chaka's grasp.
----
* When Tomo in ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'' accidentally wacks Yukari in the face with a cafeteria tray, Yukari retaliates with DualWielding trays!
* Kirika from ''{{Noir}}'' is spectacularly good at this, able to take virtually anything at hand, even an item carried by her opponent, weaponize it and kill him in a second. On one occasion, she uses a [[{{Mooks}} mook's]] eyeglass earpiece as a shiv. In another, she takes apart a toy car at a dead sprint and drives the wheel axle into someone's spine. In yet a third, she slits an interrogator's throat with an ID card, [[CrazyAwesome while barely able to stand from blood loss after being gut-shot.]] Another time she snaps her opponent's neck with his own ''tie''. And then there's the time when she piths a mook at a cocktail party by driving a martini olive skewer into his brainstem. And don't even mention the silverware. Probably her tamest improv gig features using popcorn as a field-expedient mook detector in a pitch black room (mook steps on popcorn, popcorn crunches, mook eats bullets).
* ''Manga/RurouniKenshin''
** In one episode, Kenshin was asked not to use his sword while fighting. So, he used an umbrella.
** Kaoru also tried to clock [[spoiler: Enishi]] with a vase in the final chapters of the manga, but failed.
** Saitou is probably the best example, as demonstrated when he used his belt to knock Kenshin's sakabatou out of his hand and later tried to strangle him with his coat.
* In ''DetectiveConan'', Conan can kick anything at the bad guys and knock them out (granted, he ''does'' have power-boosting sneakers invented by his GadgeteerGenius neighbor), and he was a pretty good soccer player anyway.
** Subverted more than once, due to random effectiveness of the objects around him. Once, he tried to kick a cabbage, which promptly explodes. In a gaiden story, he had to resort to kicking ''a hospital bed'' since there was nothing else nearby, breaking his foot in the process. Luckily, one of the gadgets he gets his hands on later in the series is a belt that shoots self-inflating soccer balls.
* Lucy of ''ElfenLied'' does this using her vectors to throw things with blinding speed and accuracy, including pens on numerous occasions.
** Which, while awesome, isn't nearly as improvised as Nana using her own prosthetic limbs for the same purpose.
* David from ''[[BloodPlus Blood+ ]]'' once escaped a tense situation by grabbing a hostage and threatening to stab him in the neck with a pen.
* Kiri, the male protagonist of the manga ''DoubleArts'' attempts this. He cobbles a sword together using a large number of much smaller knives thrown at him by the ''very guy he's fighting.'' Subverted in that, while impressive, Kiri's improvised weapon fails, breaking on impact.
* Yomiko Readman of ''Anime/ReadOrDie'' lives by this trope, as she can turn any item made of any kind of paper into anything she likes. Notable examples include a bulletproof shield made from newspapers, a grappling hook and a Cessna-sized paper airplane from ungraded homework, a lockpick from a hair tie, a katana from $100 bills and several shuriken from 3x5 cards.
* [[InuYasha Inu-Yasha]] once threw a tree into the throat of a charging beast.
* [[GentleGiant Chad's]] first CrowningMomentOfAwesome in ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'' involves him beating down a Hollow with a '''telephone pole'''. Keep in mind this is before he [[TouchedByVorlons gained any powers]] whatsoever.
* Rokudo Mukuro from ''KatekyoHitmanReborn'', during his fight with Tsuna, ended up disguising a stone as being an illusion, allowing him to smash it into Tsuna's [[EyeScream eye area]].
* Despite being mainly a swordsman, {{Yaiba}} is not above using various things (including a flag-pole, kitchen knives, a flashlight and his sandals) as weapons.
* ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}!'''s [[AxCrazy Claire]] [[PsychoForHire Stanfield]] doesn't really care ''what'' he uses to kill people with, just as long as the [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill end result is really,]] ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill really]]'' [[{{Gorn}} bloody]]. Examples include guns, knives, scissors, rope, railroad tracks, his bare hands, and his own ''teeth''.
