Defeat by Modesty: Difference between revisions

Line 59:

* Inverted in ''[[Ultimate Girls]].'' The girls' clothing begins a disintegrating process from the moment they enter battle, and their shame and embarrassment at their pending nudity actually ''enhances'' their powers.

* In her ploy to get the inheritance stone of the Sanzenin in ''[[Hayate the Combat Butler]]'', Sonia begins to strip. When Hayate reveals that that ploy won't work on him, she threatens to call for his female companion and claim that he had tried to rape her. She does get the stone with that, but he returns later to get it back, with Nishizawa in tow, so that she can't try that tactic again.

** Earlier, Hayate apologetically interrupted Sonia's [[Motive Rant]] to tell her that because of the pose she'd taken up and the fact that she was standing above him, her intended victims could see up under her skirt. She promptly crouched down to hold her skirt in a less revealing position.

* In the Masaomi Kanzaki ''[[Street Fighter II]]'' manga, Chun Li is in danger of losing her match with Vega<ref>A.K.A. "Balrog", A.K.A. "[[Fan Nickname|Claw]]"</ref> because the Spanish ninja exposed her right breast, forcing her to fight one-handed. The story treats this as a turning point for her; at the brink of defeat, she stops trying to cover herself and creates her Kikouken [[Ki Attack]] in time to claim victory.

* The girls of ''[[Ikki Tousen]]'' usually avert this trope. Hakufu, one of the protagonists, will be mostly or entirely topless in her average fight against a challenging opponent. There are examples of those who play the trope straight as well.
