** Subverted with Miu who, in spite of being the very embodiment of girlish modesty (and [[Yamato Nadeshiko|traditional Japanese politeness]]) in this manga, never gets upset about a [[Clothing Damage]] until ''after'' the fight is over.
** Also subverted by one of the combatants, Dou Koukyouku from the Nanken team, whose shirt is torn to shreds by Rachel, leaving her absolutely topless. Her response is to shout at her, "Hmph! I gave up my identity as a woman long ago!" and holds her stance. Doubly subverted by the fact that Dou still gets her ass handed to her by Rachel, who's pissed by the fact that Dou was getting more attention than her. And then to top it all off, RACHEL'S top then comes undone, which other characters note she did herself.
* ''[[Twentieth20th Century Boys]]''—interestingly [[Justified Trope|Justified]]—It's the reason sumo wrestlers wear loincloths. Manbo/Yanbo convince their opponent that "clothing holds" are unfair and try to make the one kid willing to stand up to them, a girl, take off her shirt.
* Done in Lee Kang Woo's Korean manhwa ''[[Rebirth]]'', to prove a point. Shy priestess Millenear is sparring with vampire anti-hero love interest Deshwitat to prove to him that she is strong enough to help him save the world. Desh tears her clothes apart, making her drop to her knees to cover herself and yell at him for being a brute - whereupon he calmly puts his hand to her throat and tells her "you're dead".
* Subverted in ''[[Dragon Half]]'', where breaking [[The Hero|Mink]]'s [[Chainmail Bikini|platemail bikini top]] turns out to be a ''[[Berserk Button|big]]'' mistake for [[Spell My Name with an "S"|Doug/Dug]] Fin, when she immediately punches him out of the ring while covering herself with one arm.
** In the OVA it's played with further, when Mink gets a little overexcited at the sight of her friends cheering at the victory, causing her to throw her arms into the air and show her assets to the crowd.
* The bad guys try to use this on Loretta in ''[[Wild ArmsARMs]] TV'', but they [[Male Gaze|get distracted]] long enough for her to cast ''Corset'', which shreds ''their'' clothes into strips.
* In the ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' anime, Kanon defeats [[Meaningful Name|Lucifer]] in the third arc by slashing a hole in her shirt with his [[Laser Blade]]. As Lucifer put it, ''"I've never been this ashamed?!"''. [[Don't Explain the Joke|It's funny because]] Lucifer represents the [[Seven Deadly Sins|sin]] of [[Pride]]. This doesn't happen in the original game, though, where the fight ends when Kanon gets his sword against her throat.
* In ''[[Violinist of Hameln]]'' manga, [[Complete Monster|Vocal]] rips off [[Stripperific|Ocarina]]'s bra when she is about to unload her most powerful attack on him, making her stop in the mid-move to cover herself. Considering that Vocal was lightyears beyond Ocarina's power level anyway, this was done purely for lulz.
