* In ''[[Literature/TheScumVillainsSelfSavingSystemRenZhaFanpaiZijiuXitong The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System]]'', Shen Qingqiu gets tied up with Immortal Binding Cables that prevent him from using his cultivation powers.
* ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'' has Angainor, the chain used to bind [[{{Satan}} Melkor/Morgoth]] after his first war against the Valar and again after the War of Wrath. It was forged by [[UltimateBlacksmith Aulë]] and is strong enough to hold the mightiest of the [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Ainur]] and literal GodOfEvil. In earlier writings [[Creator/JRRTolkien Tolkien]] specified that it was made from six metals, plus a seventh magically created from the first six, plus a lot of spells.

** The Lasso of Hestia (a.k.a. the Lasso of Truth) is unbreakable, and whoever is bound in it cannot free themselves (depending on the writer) and is forced to answer questions, and to answer honestly. It can also extend magically (having been used to wrap the Earth multiple times). It is crafted by Hephaestus of magical gold and the concept of the truth.

* On ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' and ''LightNovel/FateZero'' one of Archer's Noble Phantasms is Enkidu, a special chain that was created to restrain the gods. Its strength is proportional to the divinity of his opponent, making it unbreakable when used on a god but merely exceptionally strong when used on a mortal.

* In ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'', several playable champions have "binding" spells that magically stun enemies in place one way or another. [[FallenAngel Morgana]] wields "Dark Binding", a basic projectile that stuns the first enemy it hits for a few crucial seconds, while [[LightEmUp Lux]] uses a variant called "Light Binding", which hits up to two enemies at once for a shorter duration. [[MagicMusic Bard]] and his "Cosmic Bindings" first collide with an enemy then extend behind them, and if the extension runs into terrain or ''another'' enemy, all affected units become stunned.

* ''Videogame/FallenLondon:'' Lowell's Locks & Cages specializes in such bindings when they're not manufacturing similarly anomalous safes and locks. When you take personal commissions from the Masters of the Bazaar, you need to be ''really'' good at what you do. The cage in the page quote can only be escaped with a judicious application of the reality-warping Red Science; you alter yourself minutely so the bars aren't around you (because the "you" they were around is technically gone), then return yourself to normal elsewhere.

->''You cannot break this cage's bars. They are forged from the same principles that bind people to their positions in society; more, that bind identities. Perhaps if you had a very sturdy saw, and a few centuries to spare, you could begin to scratch a single bar.''
