Kagura from Gintama catches a bullet with each hand and the last one in her teeth when fighting Matako.The result is Sechs being catapulted back at his opponent. He then holds the two ends of the belt between his legs and in his teeth. However Sechs managed to not only cut free from the belts but also place them around his opponents head. His opponent then grabs Sechs and shoots him at a wall. During the fight Sechs is bound up with super elastic belts designed to hold cargo together during said catapulting. During a Tournament the android Sechs has to face off against an opponent whose arms are designed to work as a rail gun to catapult objects into orbit, which means around mach 27.

In actual practice, this is a trope that usually falls strictly under the domain of Rule of Cool. In terms of story and narrative development, this is a fairly popular method of showing a character as being unbelievably strong-or, at any rate, much better at what they do than pretty much any nameless mook. And what better place to have a third arm than with those shiny white things in your mouth? So once a character is sufficiently strong, he needs a new way to catch an opponent off guard, and that means giving him a third arm.
