{{trope}}
[[File:
In short, wearing gauze, casts, eyepatches and similar items for [[Fetish Fuel]] purposes, or seeing it as such.
Particularly well-entrenched as a [[Moe]] trait in anime/manga circles, and featured in the cosplay style/fashion trend called [http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzz/Kegadoru kegadoru] ("injured idol"). The basic psychology isn't difficult: the appearance of injury implies the need to be protected, which inspires a desire to [[Hurt
A more extreme version of this fetish is abasiophilia, a sexual obsession with disability or the appearance of disability. Amputations, prosthetics, parapalegia, and the like fall under this category.
[[Sarashi]] is a sister trope. [[Older Than They Think|An older sister trope]], actually. See also [[The Florence Nightingale Effect]], which is when a [[Les Yay|nurse]] or doctor falls in love with a Bandage Babe. Usually involves a [[Bandaged Face]]. Overlaps with [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]].

Line 16:
** Subverted in episode 23: Rei is in bandages AGAIN due to injuries sustained from Unit 00 self-destructing against Armisael. {{spoiler|She goes home and discards the bandages, revealing she is injury-free}}.
*** Later, the show's biggest reveal sheds some light on the subject: {{spoiler|Rei is a clone, her mind and soul transferred between bodies as needed. The Rei piloting Unit-00 was killed during the fight ([[Tear Jerker|one of her charred hands is even shown on-screen]]). Her soul was transferred to another of her [[Cloning Blues|cloned bodies]]}}.

* Tomoko gets put in a bandage bikini as part of a side story in ''[[Great Teacher Onizuka]]''.
Line 25:
** Oddly, this seems to apply to [[Adorably Precocious Child|Negi]] more than it applies to any of the girls...

* Abiru Kobushi in ''[[Sayonara, Zetsubou
** Especially noticeable when Abiru is used by Chiri as an example of perfectly ''half-naked''. Yeah.
*** She's really a parody of this trope, since the bandages cover injuries she brought upon herself by repeatedly bothering rather dangerous animals due to her tail fetish. Also she even admits she just puts them on even when she isn't injured as she likes the attention.
*** Although in the final OAV, Bangaichi, she does get labeled as "Ayanami" in a scrolling screen gag.

Her [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/franken_fran/v03/c016/7.html striking figure, beautiful hair, and selfless willingness to give her organs] certainly made her look like a bandage babe, and the [[Covers Always Lie|volume cover that has her story]] even made it look like that underneath those bandages was a naked, classic [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]. Then, when a terrorist who was smitten with her asked to see her face, she removes the bandages around her head {{spoiler|and we're treated to a frame filled with nothing but tentacles surrounding a gaping maw that she uses to swallow the terrorist whole}}.

* ''[[Game X Rush]]'' gives us two male examples in the last chapter, as well as a single-panel flashback of {{spoiler|Miyuki}} as a Bandage Babe.
* Rather common on ''[[Bleach]]'' since everyone spends so much time having been nearly slashed, stabbed and chopped to pieces. Ichigo takes it so far that even his ''sword'' is wrapped in bandages!
* ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'' has a [[Fan Service|fanservicey]] male version of this with Sousuke, in the later parts of the story. Nicely illustrated in the ''Sigma'' manga. After being {{spoiler|in a coma for a month}}, Sousuke was rendered ''very'' weak and helpless in bed, being half naked and having his bare chest and arms wrapped in bandages. (Of course, "helpless" for him means only being able to {{spoiler|bomb the hell out of the enemies that try to ambush him}}.)
* Shizuka/Serenity from ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' is going blind for a period early in the series, and wears bandages that completely cover her eyes after her eye surgery.
* Ruthlessly subverted with Balalaika in ''[[Black Lagoon]]''. One of her flashbacks involves her sitting in a vehicle with bandages covering her burns and wounds from a recent battle. There was nothing remotely sexy about that scene as she looked exactly what you'd expect from someone coming from a war zone. She also retains a large number of scars over her body because of those wounds.

* Mikaila from ''Godchild'' is completely covered with bandages (except for her head) under her clothes, due to the fact that she is {{spoiler|literally rotting away underneath due to a bad case of clone degeneration.}}
* Rokujo Chikage from ''[[Durarara!!]]''. Evidently, having his face violently rearranged by [[The Berserker|Shizuo]] has done ''nothing'' to hinder his chick magnet status.
* [http://www.dm5.com/Comic/MH81/Comics-81596_b9328a96_page-40.htm Mizho] from ''[[Karakuridouji Ultimo]]'' whose bandages even double as [[Zettai Ryouki]]. She also uses a crutch as weapon.
