* In ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam]]'' when it was aired on ''Toonami'', a bikini top was put on {{spoiler|Rain when she's forced to "pilot" the Devil Gundam}}. Making this especially silly is that the character in question is not only a victim of [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]], but is also completely silver and looks like a statue (due to {{spoiler|DG Cell infection}}).

* In the ill-conceived ''Toonami'' airing of two episodes of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', one could see Misato taking a bath in a bikini. The entirety of the "Giant Robot Week" left one to wonder which big executive at Cartoon Network was holding the [[Idiot Ball]] when they planned ''that''.

* The English dub of ''[[Zatch Bell]]'' apparently put underpants on the title character (in the original Japanese he walked around with nothing under his dress -- yes, he wears a dress) because in Japan nudity on young boys isn't frowned upon (this also happened with young Gohan in ''[[Dragon Ball]]'', though in the dub they just cut the scene). This led to a few confusing scenes where he's doing stuff like holding his boxers while wearing boxers and swimming with them while his clothes -- ''including the boxers'' -- can be seen on the bank.

* ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' episode 119 features a [[Monster of the Week|Daimon]] called [http://www.wikimoon.org/index.php?title=U-Chouten U-Chouten] who basically wears large star shaped [[wikipedia:Pasties|pasties]] over her nipples. This was deemed too risque for [[Cartoon Network]] and the episode was sent back to Cloverway so they could add a digital bikini top to her; meanwhile, [[Cartoon Network]] skipped the episode in its initial run -- despite it being a pivotal episode wherein the identity of Sailor Saturn is revealed. Though they did air it later, this really annoyed fans.

* ''[[Outlaw Star]]'' put a [[Digital Bikini]] on Melfina when she went into the water tank to control the ship, never mind how she was ''just'' covered [[Hand or Object Underwear|behind her crossed arms and part of the tank]] already. The same goes for when she is first "discovered", which is a popular comparison shot -- the fetal position just didn't cover it.

* There is a variation in a ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2345466/1/Dumbledores_Army fic] where Ginny is looking at pictures Harry drew of her, and comes across one where a bikini was drawn over her nude body later -- obvious to her, since Harry never saw her in a bikini.

* A 1988 feud between [[Jake Roberts|Jake "the Snake" Roberts]] and "Ravishing" Rick Rude involved an incident that was [[Played for Laughs]] and [[Subverted]]. The feud itself was sparked when Rude (who had a post-match routine where he would kiss a pre-selected woman in the audience) was spurned by Roberts' real-life wife, Cheryl. To agitate Roberts, Rude began wearing tights with Cheryl's likeness spray-painted on them, prompting Roberts to warn him to stop wearing them or he would come to the ring and take them off himself. Roberts held true to his promise when Rude wore them to the ring ... and he indeed tore them off Rude, causing him to flee in terror and embarassment from the ring completely naked ... with Rude's groin area digitally pixelated. Rude indeed was "nude" -- or so the home audience was led to believe; the crowd saw Rude wearing a flesh-colored thong, and the pixelation was done to create the illusion that Rude had been stripped of his skivvies.

* The introduction movie for the [[PlayStation]] version of ''[[Soul Edge]]'' has Sophitia interrupted whilst bathing by a god appearing from the water. In the Japanese version she's naked, but everywhere else she's wearing a white swimsuit. Although to their defense, at very least the swimsuited version is playable.

* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', Johnny Sasaki is seen bent over with his butt in the air in his underwear in the Japanese version. In the US version, on the other hand, the underwear is removed and replaced with a pixelized censoring. The pixelized version did NOT make it into the US release of ''[[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots|MGS4]]'', and you can see what they were trying to cover up in the original [[PS 1]] version anyway by [[Squick|crawling right next to his ass and using your binoculars to zoom through the pixellization.]]

* In the PC game ''[[Princess Maker]] 2'', you can take your daughter Olive on a vacation as a way to build your relationship and decrease stress. How old she is and what season it is -- as well as where you're vacationing -- determines which of the photos you'll be shown. Most of said photos are innocent by the game's standards, but the translators decided to slap MS Paint clothes on Olive [http://www.kkpmc.net/pm2/12s-sum.gif sunbathing] and [http://www.kkpmc.net/pm2/16s-sum.gif swimming] naked. To be fair, she's supposed to be 12 or 13 in the sunbathing photo. In fact, the ''four'' beach summer vacation photos had this. The [http://www.kkpmc.net/pm2/10s-sum_a.gif "sitting on a pool"] and [http://www.kkpmc.net/pm2/14s-sum.gif "resting in a quiet beach corner"] ones had Olive actually wearing more see-through shirts/dresses, so these were slightly altered to not look so transparent.

* Odd example: the pre-release box art for the Western release of ''[[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]]'' depicts one of the game's ''kunoichi'' in her usual cleavage-baring top about to operate on a Prinny. In the final release, the middle of her top is filled in with black.

* In the Japanese version of ''[[Riviera: The Promised Land]]'' the girls wear bikinis during the bath scene, but in the US version they do not (certain parts are hidden by [[Godiva Hair]]). Same goes with ''[[Yggdra Union]]''.

* Delphi in ''[[Giants: Citizen Kabuto]]'' -- but only in the US English version. The game comes with both US and UK English as installation languages, rendering the whole exercise moot for anyone who realizes that the original UK version is uncensored.

* ''[[Castlevania]]'''s Werewolf has turned into a [[Male Frontal Nudity|naked human]] since ''[[Rondo of Blood]]'', but in ''[[Order of Ecclesia]]'', they added a pair of [[Magic Pants|boxer shorts]]. A closer look reveals that the boxers spontaneously appear between frames.

* ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'' localization follows Nintendo of America's guidelines with depiction of nudity. The Esper Siren was originally shown with a bare butt, but was edited to wear shorts in the US SNES version. [[PS 1]] version retains the original. The GBA port had her partially covered, not as much as the SNES version.
