Playing With / Limb-Sensation Fascination

Go To

Basic Trope: A character gains a new limb in some way (such as through transformation, or gaining a prosthetic limb) and decides to test it out.

  • Straight: Hiro is transformed into a lion somehow, and decides to see what he can use a tail for.
  • Exaggerated:
  • Downplayed: Hiro is somewhat amazed by how his new form feels, but doesn't dwell on it much.
  • Justified:
    • Hiro doesn't have those features in his regular body, and he's always wanted to see how they feel.
    • Can be Truth in Television for those who have prosthetic body parts.
    • Hiro wants to make sure he can maneuver his new limb through a Fine China Store like a real bull instead of a proverbial onenote .
  • Inverted: Hiro loses a body part, and is offput by how weird it feels to not have it anymore.
  • Subverted: ???
  • Double Subverted: ???
  • Parodied: Hiro is a shapeshifter that checks out the features of his new form every single time he transforms, even if he should be more focused on something such as battling.
  • Zig-Zagged: ???
  • Averted:
    • Nobody gains any new limbs.
    • Nobody ever has much of an interest in how their new limbs feel.
  • Enforced: To show the audience how Hiro feels about his new form.
  • Lampshaded: ???
  • Invoked: ???
  • Exploited: ???
  • Defied: ???
  • Discussed: ???
  • Conversed: ???
  • Implied: Hiro is seen looking towards his tail in amazement after his transformation, presumably for this reason.

Back to Limb-Sensation Fascination... oh, so that's what having a robot arm feels like!
