Bathe Her and Bring Her to Me: Difference between revisions

The [[Villain]] has the lovely damsel [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|right where he wants her]]. His plans for her at this point will likely involve putting her in [[Go-Go Enslavement]], [[Post-Rape Taunt|demonstrating his superior sexual prowess]], and possibly giving her a [[Sadistic Choice]] [[Scarpia Ultimatum|between preserving her virtues and preserving the life of that insufferable do-gooder she calls her true love]]... '''but first, it looks like she could do with a nice hot bath!''' He has his servants (hot maidservants usually, or failing that, eunuchs) take her away to be cleaned up and groomed properly. Bonus pervert points if he then watches them [[Fan Service|strip and bathe her]] via [[Palantir Ploy|hidden camera]], two-way mirror, [[Crystal Ball]], or the like.

As {{noreallife|this is a [[:Category:Rape Tropes|rape trope]], '''[[Noand RealAll LifeThe Examples,Tropes Pleasedoes not care to [[squick]]!''' its readers.}}

== Anime &and Manga ==

* A non-romantic example in [[GundamMobile FSuit Gundam 91F91]] has Cecily/Berah Ronah taken back to her father and grandfather to become part of [[Aristocrats Are Evil|a ruling aristocratic family.]]

* The Obsidian Lord orders his female [[Dragon|Dragons]]s to [[Les Yay|do this]] to Mai after he's done using [[More Than Mind Control]] on her in the manga version of ''[[Mai-HiME (Mangamanga)|Mai-HiME]]''. Very creepy since {{spoiler|he's using her younger brother Takumi's body as his vessel.}}

* Happens to Ciel in the anime for ''[[Black Butler (Manga)|Black Butler]]''. Before being led to presumably be raped by the high priest of the cult, they feel the need to bathe him and [[Go-Go Enslavement|put him in a rather cute altar boy outfit]].

* In a ''[[Catwoman (Comic Bookcomics)|Catwoman]]'' comic book, before her wedding to a nobleman, the title character was forcibly given a bath by two of his henchwomen.

* Inverted in the [[Furry Fandom|furry]] comic, ''Xanadu'', when Tabbe Le Fauve is captured. The unicorn Empress Alicia orders him bathed in the magic unicorn pool. Being a cat, Tabbe is frantically resistant to be thrown into water, but immediately changes his mind when he is thrown in: the magic water feels more like silk and Empress Alicia, naked, smoking hot looking and horny as her horn, climbs in to join him.

* In the ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfic ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120425064839/http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2923653/1/Duty_Before_Honor Duty Before Honor]'', Sakura is subject to this when she goes undercover to retrieve a vase from a [[Dirty Old Man|dirty old pervert]]. Unfortunately, {{spoiler|this washes off most of the poison she smeared over her body to protect herself from said pervert}}.

* At the beginning of Chapter 23 of ''[[Code Geass: Lelouch of Britannia (Fanfic)|Code Geass Lelouch of Britannia]]''.

* ''[[Heavy Metal (Animationanimation)|Heavy Metal]]'':

{{quote| '''Barbarian Leader:''' Have her bound and washed. Then... bring her to me.}}

* ''[[The Prince of Egypt]]'' has an example-by-proxy of this. Tzipporah, a Midian woman who was kidnapped by the Egyptians and given Ramses as a [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?|concubine]], is passed off to Moses, who tricks her into falling into a pool of water. Ramses gives the order, "Dry her off and have her sent to Prince Moses' chambers!" Moses doesn't look any happier with the thought than Tzipporah, but she swiftly enacts her own escape before any awkward confrontations can occur.

** Funnily enough, this is [[Inverted]] later--helater—he winds up in Midian after wandering in the desert and is bathed by some old women. He seems just as uncomfortable as before.

* The Colonel orders this done to the two Mexican girls he intends to rape in ''[[The WarriorsWarrior's Way]]''.

* In the campy 1980 classic ''[[Flash Gordon (Filmfilm)|Flash Gordon]]'', Ming The Merciless orders his lackeys to "Remove the Earth woman" (Dale Arden) and "Prepare her for our pleasure" just after using his hypnotic ring to seduce her.

* Borderline example in ''[[Tortall Universe|Lady Knight]]'': after Blayce has kidnapped the refugee children ([[Nightmare Fuel|in order to use their souls to fuel giant killing devices]]), he has them given baths, nice clothing, toys, and good food. Even without the [[Squick|pedophiliac implications]], it's still damn creepy.

* ''Fool's Fate'', the last book of [[Robin Hobb]]'s ''[[TawnyRealm Manof (Literature)the Elderlings|Tawny Man]]'' trilogy, has the hero brought before the big bad as '''she''' bathes. She then gets out of the bath in a seductive manner and leaves him to relax in her still hot, used bath water. Given that he's been worn ragged searching through ice caves and frozen wasteland for the past few weeks, he resignedly accepts.

* In ''[[The Hollow Kingdom]]'', Kate gets this treatment right before {{spoiler|her wedding to the goblin king.}}

* ''The [[Black AdderBlackadder]] Chronicles'' included a transcript of Captain Darling's application form for Emergency Transfer to Somewhere Much Safer. At the bottom were three checkboxes for the superior officer to choose between: "Application approved"; "Applicant to be [[Shot At Dawn]]"; and "Applicant to be washed and sent to my tent".

* In Jacqueline Carey's ''[[KushielsKushiel's Legacy|Kushiel's Chosen]]'', every time {{spoiler|Melisande comes to visit Phedre's cell on [[The Alcatraz|La Dolorosa]]}}, the latter is forced to wash and don clean clothes before she arrives.

* A non-villain (but still [[Jerkass]]) example is ''Spellfall'': Natalie, a 12 years old girl, is captured by an [[Big Bad|evil Wizard]] Hawk, and after a few days of capture, escapes with Merlin, Hawk's son , who is 11 years old. When they arrive at the Council of Oq, she is told that before she can speak with the council, she has to take a swim in a special pool. As she herself also desires to be clean, she is actually glad - until she learns that Merlin also has to take a swim in the same pool, and no, bathing suits are not provided...

* On ''[[Lost]]'', Kate is offered a shower and a change of clothes when she, Jack and Sawyer are captured by the Others. However, it's slightly [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] in that her jailer tells her that she's "not [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar|his]] type".

{{quote| '''Alan Davies (as Stephen Fry):''' Have him scrubbed and brought to my room.<br />

* The Japanese ''[[Hana Yori Dango]]'' has the [[Ordinary High School Student]] kidnapped, drugged, bathed, and dressed in couture and jewelry, in order for the [[Big Man Onon Campus|spoiled rich boy]] to show off what money can accomplish.

* Something like this appears to be happening in the video for [[Lady Gaga (Music)|Lady Gaga]]'s "Bad Romance".

* [[Older Than Feudalism]]: See the Book of Esther in ''[[The Bible (Literature)|The Bible]]'', where concubines of the king must spend months in a bathing and beauty regimen before they go to his bed.

* Happens with Dean Venture in ''[[The Venture Brothers (Animation)|The Venture Brothers]]''.

* Though not ''quite'' this trope, Butt-Head of ''[[Beavis and Butthead (Animation)|Beavis and Butthead]]'' is known to frequently say those exact words whenever he sees a beautiful woman.
