Yeah, Mirko loses an arm and leg, and then recently lost another arm. She's a very minor character though, this isn't a major part of the plot by any stretch. There's lots of other fetishy characters that get more airtime.
a character with a recurring story habit of losing limbs, getting replacements, and getting those replacements torn off
That's a character introduced in the final arc (I think it's the final anyways? I'm not sure where it's considered as dividing, maybe the second to last if it's not the final) of the manga as part of a battle that kills off a bunch of minor characters and is implied to have killed many times more unnamed characters. She's one of the few who survives, albeit with severe injuries, and she keeps fighting with prosthetics after that (although mostly off-screen IIRC) as the story moves into a weird post-apocalyptic warzone setting.
I don't think the fight itself even comes off as particularly fetishy, since it's literally the same stuff that Deku and multiple other male heroes go through repeatedly, being maimed and continuing to fight, fully expecting to die in the process. I think Mirko's the only female character who's written as matching Deku's complete disregard for his own wellbeing. The story leans hard into that self-sacrifice angle for every major fight, for both heroes and villains, and with only a few notable exceptions that involves grievous bodily harm or permanent injury.
Considering that's the only type of scene the author's really good at wringing emotion out of (and he is good at turning bog-standard brutal anime fights into intense internal conflicts) I can see why he keeps doing it multiple times per arc.
The main character of MHA has a thing where he's too powerful so he ends up busting his arms, but there's no amputation or anything. Trying to think of what you're talking about but all that comes to minds is Genos in One Punch Man and I don't think that's it. My brain isn't at 100% right now so maybe someone else can think of it.
Yeah, I was thinking that too, but it's pretty old. I was thinking more stuff like demon slayer, bleach, and various sword related stuff. Even dbz has the occasional de-limbing.
Calling it an "amputation fetish" is a bit much imo. The dude def. has a thing for muscular women, but I haven't seen anything that indicates he's into amputations sexually.
If it happened to multiple similar characters I'd be more inclined to agree, but if it pretty much only happened to the one, with alot of those "amputations" being of robotic limbs (which doesn't really have the same impact as losing "real" ones imo), I don't really see it.

Ah, well alright then. Yes, yes it is.😅

I mean there's still a lot of good non-violent stuff out there.
I am once again asking everyone to watch Chihayafuru
Also Haikyu
Word. Added it to my list.
Hope you enjoy it! It languished on my PTW list for years and I finally watched it recently—ended up tearing through all three seasons.
Where's Season 4, you monster!

Oooh, the bunny super cop. I forgot about her damage.

Maybe. The Mc definitely fucks up his limbs a lot, so you may have just gotten some hyperbolic memes or something.
But there's totally plenty of amputation stuff out there too so...
Only anime I can think of with a lot of severed limbs is Elfen Lied, but they're all just teenage girls.
Yeah, I was thinking that too, but it's pretty old. I was thinking more stuff like demon slayer, bleach, and various sword related stuff. Even dbz has the occasional de-limbing.
I do remember some people getting de limbed in Demon Slayer, doesn't Nezuko lose an arm at some point and then regenerates it?
Oh, yeah! she does get sliced up quite a bit during the latest arc.
Elfen Lied maybe? There is a girl that gets replacement robot limbs after all of hers are chopped off by invisible energy hands.
