Line 11:
** Even more ludicrous instances where characters (usually female Ranma, Akane, or Shampoo) toss away their swimsuits or otherwise short-skirted clothing, [[Dressed in Layers|to reveal ordinary clothes underneath]]. [[Hammerspace|Huh]]?!
* Happens at least once in ''[[Urusei Yatsura]]'', with Sakura unbuttoning and flinging aside her school nurse uniform to reveal herself dressed in full [[Miko]] regalia beneath.
* One of [[
* In episode 14 of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', students Misa, Madoka and Sakurako do a simultaneous costume change, and we see three sets of clothes in the air at the same time. To top it off, the viewer's first sight of the girls in their new outfits is done with rainbows and twirling motions as if it were the conclusion of a full [[Transformation Sequence]].
* In ''[[Haunted Junction]]'', Mutsuki Asahina uses this to switch from seifuku to miko robes. In contrast, Haruto is usually the last one finished changing into his 'holy garb,' having to deal with all of those silly buttons.
Line 19:
* In Episode 3 of the anime ''[[Mai-Otome]]'', the Black Knight throws off his cloak disguise to reveal himself to Shizuru, in preparation for battle.
* Happens once in ''[[Love Hina]]''. Keitaro is in the room when Naru does this, leading to Kitsune admonishing her (and Shinobu freaking out). Being ''[[Love Hina]]'', this leads to Keitaro's... abrupt exit from the room, and [[Megaton Punch|possibly the atmosphere]].
* In two different episodes of ''[[
** Curiously, Yomi herself does this in the opening sequence. It's a reference to a scene in both the manga and anime where Yomi, dissatisfied with her scale results, stripped naked... then took off her glasses to see if ''that'' would change anything.
* Female villains in ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' had a tendency to do this when revealing their true identity to the [[Victim of the Week]].
* In the end of episode 16, the titular heroine of ''[[Madlax]]'' discards her white cocktail dress (which seems to be her most deadly ''combat'' outfit overall) to distract the attacking soldiers, wherein she utterly succeeds. Moments after that, she is seen wearing it again.

*** Silver thankfully gets rid of his ridiculous Team Rocket outfit this way in FRLG.
*** Gold had one in the Emerald arc where he threw off his enemy disguise.
Line 38:
* ''[[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' does this quite often, whenever Haruhi is forcing Mikuru into a new costume.
* Edward Elric from ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' often did this with his coat in the anime. And his ripped shirt in the first episode. [[Shirtless Scene|Cue]] [[Squee|squeeing]] [[Fan Service|from]] [[Estrogen Brigade Bait|many]] [[Fan Girl|fangirls.]]
* In ''[[
* Yusuke throws off his pajamas early in the ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' manga. Less "ready for asskicking", though - more like "ready to enjoy the one day of life I get before I go back to being dead".
* In the anime ''[[Freezing]]'' the last image of the series before the credits is Satellizer's bra in mid air.
* ''[[Fairy Tail]]'' Somewhat parodies this with the ice mages Grey and Leon, both of whom [[Battle Strip|take off their shirts]] (much to the confusion of the surrounding characters who point it out) before a fight, and Grey has a habit of randomly stripping without noticing it due to his training.

Line 78:
** Zero does a similar action; throwing away his tattered brown cape as [[Mook|Pantheons]] find him in the opening to ''[[Mega Man Zero]] 2''
** Serges (one of the X-Hunters) in ''X2'' also does this with his cloak/robe in the first battle with him; catch is, if you don't start moving ASAP when you get control back, it will hit you for some damage.
* This is how {{spoiler|Olga Orly}} reveals her true self and personality in ''[[Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney]]''. She goes from a {{spoiler|timid serving girl in thick russian clothes}} to a {{spoiler|not-so-timid gambler}} with an appropriate outfit.
* Goris the scholar in ''[[Fallout]] 2'' dramatically flings off his oversized robes whenever a fight starts, at the same time revealing that he is an intelligent deathclaw.
** something that quickly gets to be a pain in the ass, as it delays the start of every battle, even one against a rat.
* In ''[[Homestar Runner|Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]]'', Homestar's clothes are seen in the air when he gets ready to take a shower. Luckily, Strong Bad's The Cheat-like reflexes prevent us from seeing anymore (he ''is'' naked later on in the game... [[Pixellation|except it's blurred out]]).
* Many female characters do this in ''[[
** The boss of ''2001'', Igniz, uses this as a ''basic attack''.
* For [[Darkstalkers
* In a possible parody, [[Morally-Ambiguous Doctorate|Kira Daidohji]] of ''[[
* The [[Cool Old Guy|aged]] [[Badass|Liquid]] [[Magnificent Bastard|Ocelot]] throws off his trench coat before engaging [[Metal Gear Solid|Old Snake]] in one last fight. This reveals two things: first, Ocelot is in amazing shape for a man in his seventies. Second, {{spoiler|he has a cybernetic arm instead of Liquid's arm. This arm ''hurts'', as evidenced by the large chunks of health Snake loses when he's hit by it.}}
** The Boss throws her cloak off before a fight in [[Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater]].

* [[Blaz Blue]] brings us Noel, Litchi, and Makoto, all who have introduction poses. Noel and Makoto throw off their cloaks, while Litchi grabs her dress and sweeps it around herself, [http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/078/6/f/Litchi_changing_outfit_by_mikagome007.gif setting a new world record for fastest change into alluring attire.]
* Ricardo in ''[[Shadow Hearts]]: From the New World'' throws his hat when he uses his unique skill "[[Macross Missile Massacre|Fated Day's End]]".
Line 97:
* In strip #12 of the ''[[Star Wars]]'' parody webcomic ''[http://3do.jediknight.net/dcm/archive.htm Diary of a Crazed Mimbanite]'', <s>Darth V</s> Dark Dingus uses his Force powers of [[Mind Over Matter|telekinesis]] to strip the couple facing him of more than their brandished guns.
* Done in ''[[Erfworld]]'' [http://www.erfworld.com/book-1-archive/?px=%2F048.jpg here.]
* Used in ''[[
Line 103:
* Lampshaded in ''[[Futurama]]'': In the episode "Less Than Hero," Leela reveals to her parents that she is the superhero "Clobberella" by ripping off her clothing to reveal her super suit underneath -- even though the outfit's high collar should have been visible under her usual tank top. Moments later, she tears ''it'' off as well, improbably revealing her usual long pants and clunky boots beneath the legless Clobberella costume.
{{quote| '''Leela''': It was brisk. I dressed in layers.}}
