History Main / InstantBandages

* While it's not instantaneous, Thrust is injured in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersArmada'' and shows up in the next scene with his arm in a sling and his head covered in bandages. In the Decepticon moon base. Where did a robot on the moon get bandages? For that matter, ''why'' does a robot have bandages?

* All over the place in ''MidoriNoHibi''. In the pilot, InstantBandages appear on a ''cat''.

* In ''Manga/AsuNoYoichi'' episode 3, Tsubasa makes a FacePlant. When she looks up immediately after, her face has manifested a bandage over her nose. A few seconds later, her nose is healed and the bandage is gone. Given that she is a ninja, these things are ''entirely plausible''.

The standard example is a crossed pair of [[StuckOnBandAidBrand Band-Aids]] on the head, but the InstantBandages may be more elaborate. Wrapped gauze dressings covering entire limbs, arm slings, and plaster casts complete with crutches from [[HyperspaceMallet hammerspace]] are also fairly common.

* ''Franchise/SlyCooper'' series
** In ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves, Dimitri gets these in a cutscene after Sly defeats him. And when Carmelita Fox appears to arrest him, she beats him up out of frustration, resulting in more bandages.

* ''MangA/FruitsBasket'': Kyo gets these after being tripped.

* Cocoa sports one after she bumps into a cabinet in episode 3 of ''Manga/GochuumonWaUsagiDesuKa'' while shopping for mugs.

* A bunch of times in ''WesternAnimation/TuffPuppy''.

* One of the characters in ''ZombieLoan'' has the power to summon InstantBandages for healing. She pays of her loan by selling this service to the other Zombies.

!!Examples

[[folder:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]
* In both the ''LoveHina'' manga and {{OAV}}, Keitaro is sent to the hospital with a broken leg, much to the surprise of the cast; Keitaro's ability to recover from numerous injuries with InstantBandages had become a running joke at this point.

* ''FruitsBasket'': Kyo gets these after being tripped.
* ''MahouSenseiNegima'' routinely. When they ''don't'' appear, you know that things are getting serious.
* Done once in ''LuckyStar''. Konata makes a remark about her teacher, Nanako Kuroi. Kuroi hears her, brings a clipboard down on her head, a "THWAK" sound is heard, and the next scene shows Konata with an enormously comical bandage on her head. Oddly enough, the bandage disappears in the next shot.

* In ''HidamariSketch'', Miyako gets one after misinterpreting the invitation to their welcoming party as a letter of challenge, and attempting to punish Hiro for the surprise attack; she's hit on the head by Sae. She gets another after being hit by a strong tennis serve by Sae that went into the bamboo grove, and another when she and Yuno are called by Sae, and she jumps the railing to get down. (In the anime, Yuno follows, and gets one, too. Nori gets a couple when sharing a bed with Nazuna, who moves around in her sleep a lot.
* In ''AsuNoYoichi'' episode 3, Tsubasa makes a FacePlant. When she looks up immediately after, her face has manifested a bandage over her nose. A few seconds later, her nose is healed and the bandage is gone. Given that she is a ninja, these things are ''entirely plausible''.
* In {{Sekirei}}, Minato sports a couple after Tsukiumi does a CrashIntoHello on him.

[[folder:ComicBooks]]
* Happens all the time in the Franco-Belgian comic ''[[ComicStrip/LeonardLeGenie Léonard]]'' whenever the disciple suffers AmusingInjuries, either at the hands of his [[BadBoss sadistic master]] or through [[TooDumbToLive his own incompetence]]. Sometimes the cat Raoul is shown to bandage him, but most of the time they instantly appear out of thin air. They usually vanish as the scene changes, and sometimes the disciple is shown to have [[HealingFactor Wolverine-like fast healing]] with the injuries vanishing gradually as the scene progresses.
* Also happens all the time in the Spanish comic ''ComicStrip/MortadeloYFilemon'', which runs on AmusingInjuries. The bandages are usually gone just as quickly as they appeared, but [[TropeTelegraphing when they aren't]] it's absolutely guaranteed that the bandaged body part will [[SadistShow suffer more harm]].

[[folder:{{Film}}]]

* This happens to Sam in the live-action movie ''TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen''. Apparently Mikaela just happened to have those bandages with her or something. (Of course, this was [[RealLifeWritesThePlot to cover the actor's actual injury]], so it couldn't be smoothly worked into the film.)

[[folder:WesternAnimation]]
* Very frequently done in WesternAnimation/ThePowerPuffGirls
* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', the TropeCodifier.
** Just so you are not underwhelmed but what that implies, let us spell it out. Over the past 70 or 80 years a rolling stock of characters have repeatedly used this trope, almost once an episode in some cases, to generates hundreds upons thousands of examples that have probably been the introducer for the concept of triangular bandages for hundreds of millions of children. However, we just can't think of one yet. Try WesternAnimation/{{Wile E Coyote|and the Roadrunner}}, he gets hurt a lot; it will probably come up.
** Funnily enough you can now get most of those cartoon characters on band-aids for kids.
* While it's not instantaneous, Thrust is injured in ''TransformersArmada'' and shows up in the next scene with his arm in a sling and his head covered in bandages. In the Decepticon moon base. Where did a robot on the moon get bandages? For that matter, ''why'' does a robot have bandages?

Though at least one of them still suffered from some disfiguring burn marks after the bandages came off.

* It happens constantly in ''LocoRoco'' where bandages just appear instantly on bigger enemies and bosses without even needing ball of violence or next cut.
