{{quote|'''Dr. Venture:''' Why are you naked?
'''Brock:''' To ''prey'' on their fear, to move like an animal, to ''feel'' the kill!
|''[[The Venture Brothers]]''}}
[[Armor Is Useless]]? Why stop there? Why wear ''anything'' into battle? Anyone can be tough in [[Powered Armor]], but it takes either a really badass hero or a really depraved villain to fight in the nude.
Line 22 ⟶ 23:
Has nothing to do with the masked guy from [[Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn]].
{{examples}}
* In ''[[My Hero Academia]]'':
** Toru is an [[Invisible Streaker]]
** Mirio Togata's clothes fall off when ever he uses his [[Intangible Man]] quirk.
▲== Anime & Manga ==
* Pictured above: Lucy from ''[[Elfen Lied]]'', who, after having escaped from an underground vault where she was kept in a full body straitjacket chained to a steel cage, spends her first scene wearing nothing but a helmet, killing people left and right very messily.
* [[Axis Powers Hetalia|Greece]] references this a lot to Japan, and one can assume he has done it.
Line 53 ⟶ 55:
* Gyoubu from ''[[Basilisk]]'' not only strangles people to death in the nude, he spends most of his screen time like that. His ninja ability allows him to fuse with his surroundings as long as he is naked.
* In the final arc of the original manga of ''[[Riki-Oh]]'', the first confrontation between Riki and [[Big Bad|Mukai]] involves the latter completely naked...and completely dispassionate. The (accurate) impression is that Mukai has no interest in acceding to human desires and/or expectations. Since he also ''sleeps'' that way (and no, he didn't have any company), the point is pretty obviously that when Riki came calling, he didn't adjust any part of his routine for him.
* ''[[One-Punch Man]]''; Saitama has survived most destructive attacks from villains where his costume did not, so he's fought at least one such villain this way.
* In ''[[Claymore]]'' the [[One-Winged Angel|awakened beings]] fight naked, justified because their monstrous forms are too large or inhumanly-shaped for human clothes. Examples of this happening when they are "human" include...
** Riful is explicitly shown stripping before action so as not to ruin her clothes. Her lover Dauf apparently does this as well.
Line 72 ⟶ 75:
* Rare heroic example: Kei, the local [[Action Girl]] in ''[[Getter Robo]]'': ''Armaggedon'', pulls this right after {{spoiler|an [[Out-of-Clothes Experience]] in which she finds the equally naked Go. Who actually is her older brother. [[Cloning Blues|Sort]] [[Mind Screw|of]].}}. After this incident, she hops into her mecha in the buff and immediately attacks the enemy, curbstomping all of them.
** Cue the [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] when she's done and opens her cockpit... and only ''then'' she realizes she's naked. But not before she gives her friend and partner [[Gentle Giant|Gai]] an ''epic'' [[Nosebleed]], much to her [[Parental Substitute]] [[Overprotective Dad|Benkei]]'s horror.
* ''[[One Piece]]'':
**
* [[Buso Renkin|Genji Ikusabe's]] kakugane ability gives him a near-instant [[Healing Factor]] as long as he's holding onto his spear. At one point during his fight with Papillion, his entire body is destroyed (along with his clothing,) leading to him regenerating and spending the rest of the fight stark naked.▼
** During the Wano Country Arc, Robin is naked when she assumes her Demon Fleur form, played far more for terror as she tears [[The Dragon| Black Marian]] apart than it is for fanservice.
▲* ''[[Buso Renkin
* Heroic example in the [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]] movie: {{spoiler|Lordgenome, the former [[Big Bad]], fights the final enemy naked while in his mech - thankfully, he has a flame of Spiral energy censoring his weiner. Justified, as he was an [[Oracular Head]] who recently had his body recreated.}}
** Earlier, in the [[Hot Springs Episode]], the main characters are enjoying a hot sauna bath when suddenly {{spoiler|the whole facility turns out to be an enemy mech in disguise}}; intended to lure them in and catch the off-guard. Most of the rest of the episode then consists of the team fighting [[Ninja Maid|ninja]]/[[Playboy Bunny|bunny]] girls and robots while buff naked. In most scenes, only a few, very obvious, [[Scenery Censor]] placements kept the naughty bits out of view. When [[The Rival|Viral]] arrives moments later to duel Kamina, he [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAZ7RDTuDrY&t=1m52s breaks off his intro speech] in order to tell them to [[Please Put Some Clothes On]].
Line 84 ⟶ 89:
* In the [[Magic Knight Rayearth]] OVA, the three Magic Knights pilot their Masshin in the nude. Made [[Fan Disservice|much less fanservicy than you'd think]] due to the horrifying injuries they get as well.
* In [[Devilman Lady]], the heroine does this all the time, due to her transformation destroying her clothing and [[Anime Anatomy|her genital areas being devoid of detail, especially in the anime]].
== Comic Books ==
Line 101 ⟶ 105:
* In ''[[The Umbrella Academy]]'', Vanya is transformed into a nude White Violin.
* ''[[Watchmen]]'': Dr. Manhattan is an unusual case. The nudity symbolizes his detachment from the human race, as well as emphasizing his utter invulnerability: ''nothing'' can hurt him, so why bother covering up? The only times he bothers to get dressed are at the request of others.
* One story in the comic book adaptation of ''[[Batman the Animated Series]]'' started with Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy incarcerated at Arkham, after a botched scheme that was entirely Harley's fault. Naturally, Ivy was angry at Harley, and Harley thought a shower would cheer her up. It had the opposite effect; Ivy attacked her in rage and had to be pried off of Harley by the (thankfully female) guards.
* Father, the first villain of [[Warren Ellis]]'s run on ''[[Stormwatch]]''. As if being a mass-murdering [[Implacable Man]] with no flesh on his face who quotes Nietzsche while killing people isn't unsettling enough, he is also naked, probably as a result of being an [[Artificial Human]] recently escaped from the base of his creator.
* An issue of ''H.K.'', a comic by French creators Jean-David Morvan and Trantkat, features group of naked cybernetic women slaughtering the characters... in explicit detail, from a variety of angles.
Line 109 ⟶ 114:
* In an issue of ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|Uncanny X-Men]]'', Rogue and Wolverine ended up in Genosha naked and tried to fight their way out like that.
* In ''[[Slaine]]'' (a ''[[2000 AD]]'' story), going into battle "skyclad" is only one of a number of outré battle customs used by Slainé Mac Roth's tribe to demonstrate their fierceness and unnerve the enemy.
* This happened to [[Venom (Comic Book)|Venom]] a few times, when Eddie was separated from the Symbiote. [[Depending on the Artist| Some artists portray him wearing shorts under it, but others are more realistic.]] The most notable case was during his first limited series when the Life Foundation forcibly removed it, and he had to [[Enemy Mine| help Spider-Man]] fight five mercenaries that had been given Symbiotes spawned from his Symbiote.
* Another [[Spider-Man]] example, Kraven the Hunter's son Vladimir did this at least twice [[Kingpin in His Gym| as a training routine.]] While he didn't specifically say it, he was quite possibly trying to bring his bestial nature to the surface, something he deemed necessary for using his father's strength serums; the Kranioff family isn't exactly the best example of mental health.
* When Paige Guthrie, aka Husk (a founding member of [[Generation X]] and occasionally a member of other mutant teams) uses her powers to turn her body into iron, diamond, adamantium, or whatever to fight an enemy, she's usually technically naked, although the effect itself gives her [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]].
* In one comic book adaptation of ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'', Poison Ivy assaulted Harley in the showers at Arkham. No, seriously, the reason they were there in the first place was Harley's fault entirely, after Harley destroyed a potted plant that Ivy intended to use to make a brainwashing formula; not only did this ruin the plan and get them arrested, plants dying is Ivy's [[Berserk Button]]. She finally snapped and assaulted Harley in the showers, with [[Censor Steam]] and [[Godiva Hair]] used to fullest effect.
* Happens all the time in ''[[Crossed]]'' and its spinoffs, due to the Crossed being completely [[Ax Crazy]], not to mention rape crazy.
* [[The Savage Dragon]] frequently fights naked due to being [[Nigh Invulnerable]] but not having [[Magic Pants]].
Line 118 ⟶ 127:
* After Hera finds out that {{spoiler|Zeus had an affair with Queen Hippolyta, and thus is [[Wonder Woman]]'s father}}, she angrily attacks Queen Hippolyta with an [[An Axe to Grind|axe]] while wearing nothing but her peacock-feather cape.
* In one ''[[Knights of the Dinner Table]]'' storyline, one of the guys runs Sara's character in her absence. After Brian points out that lightening the character's encumbrance lets her attack faster, they carry this to its logical conclusion by having her charge into battle naked carrying nothing but her weapon. This works for a while, but ultimately gets the character killed. Sara is not amused.
== Fan Works ==
* In [[Stealth Parody]] fanfic ''[[Batman: Nemesis Fight]]'' by [[Peter Chimaera]], Catwoman pretends to have switched sides so she can have sex with Batman. But then she reveals "That was a trick. I am not good like I said. I am always evil!!" and fights Batman and Robin naked.
* In the ''[[Naruto]]'' fanfiction ''With Heart and Underwear of Fire'', Itachi does this in order to fight Naruto's alter ego Boxer-sama.
* [[Played for Laughs]] in ''[[I'm a Marvel...
{{quote|'''Deadpool:''' Hi, I'm a Marv-- ''(suddenly looks down and to his right)'' '''WHOA!''' ''(static cutaway)''}}
* In [[DC Nation]], Hades forced the Titans to compete naked when attempting to win Donna Troy back from death. Part of the reason was to mess with their heads. Of course, Starfire casually drops her skimpy costume, turns to the rest of the bunch and announces they all have nothing to be afraid or ashamed of. Donna also strips, despite being the "prize" rather than one of the combatants because...[[True Companions|well, it's the Titans]]. "Running into hell naked to rescue a teammate" has turned into a [[Running Gag]] in Nationverse when describing the team's mentality.
Line 130 ⟶ 138:
* In ''[[Neon Genesis Madoka Magica]]'', {{spoiler|Mami Tomoe, while being controlled by Sachiel,}} manages to take out the entirety of [[Eureka Seven|Gecko Team]] while completely naked, and {{spoiler|missing her left arm.}}
* In ''[[Thuum of a Distant Utopia]]'', [[Fate/stay night|Arturia]] goes through much of Helgen unknowingly flashing everyone, not noticing that the dragonfire she withstood earlier burned off most of her clothing. She responds [[Luminescent Blush|appropriately]] when [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim|Ralof]] points it out and [[Please Put Some Clothes On|accepts the robes he gives her]].
* In ''[[Celebrity Deathmatch]]'' fanfiction, ''[https://my.w.tt/v4IffEriLU Final Stand of Death]'', Frankenstein's monster does this during a [[Bar Brawl]], much to the dismay of Fusion Gundam.
== Film ==
* Every ''[[Terminator]]'', [[It Was His Sled|obviously]], seeing as you [[Can't Take Anything with You]] when you travel to the past.▼
▲* Every ''[[Terminator]]'', [[It Was His Sled|obviously]].
* Pinbacker from ''[[Sunshine (film)|Sunshine]]''. Made worse as he's covered in 3rd degree burns.
* The space vampires from ''[[Lifeforce]]''.
Line 158 ⟶ 166:
* The title character of ''[[Bronson]]'' has a tendency to do this, often combined with greasing up to make himself more difficult for the prison guards to subdue. Despite Bronson being played by [[Tom Hardy]], these are not [[Fan Service]] moments.
* The Angry Princess from the 2001 remake ''[[13 Ghosts]]''. Like the other ghosts of the house, she appears as she did in death—which in her case was brought about by slashing herself with a butcher knife in the bathtub.
* Happens in
* In a scene in ''[[Memento]]'', Lenny isn't exactly given a choice, seeing as a would-be assailant attacks him while he's in the shower. Still, he improvises, beats the guy up, and locks him in the closet. And when he comes back five minutes after getting help and getting dressed, he's already forgotten what happened; due to his anterograde amnesia, he can't remember recent events.
* ''[[Borat]]'' has [[Fan Disservice| a downright repulsive]] (and [[Naked People Are Funny| downright hilarious]]) one where Borat catches Azamat, uhm, [[A Date with Rosie Palms| "admiring" his Pamela Anderson magazine]]. Suffice to say, these two are not guys you want to see naked.
* Medusa is bare-breasted in ''[[Clash of the Titans]]''; seeing as [[Evil Is Not Well Lit|the temple were the battle takes place is dimly lit]], it's not immediately apparent.
== Literature ==
* Patrick Bateman in ''[[American Psycho]]''.
* Zabulon from ''[[Night Watch]]'' in the first part. One [[Magic Pants]]-less shift to dragon form and one spell expiration later, he's ''still'' swinging at the agents of the Night Watch, {{spoiler|trying to get them to break the truce}}.
* [[Discworld]]:
*
** Angua herself did this to a ship full of Klatchians in ''
** In ''[[
* Heroic example is in a ''[[Star Wars]]'' [[Expanded Universe]] novel: ''Shatterpoint''. [[Samuel L. Jackson|Mace Windu]] is cornered by some Mooks in what is effectively a locker room... who notice to their slight shock that, unlike most people would when confronted naked, he doesn't even flinch.
** Windu, being the [[badass]] that he is, proceedes to beat the shit out of the thugs.
Line 194 ⟶ 205:
* ''[[The Saga of the Noble Dead]]'' has the ancient vampire Li'kan, who fights completely naked in the snow and ice high in a mountain range. Being undead, she isn't bothered by the cold.
* In ''[[Humanx Commonwealth|Flinx Transcendent]]'', Flinx removes his AAnn bodysuit to take a covert dip in a small pond, only to be spotted by an adolescent. He's forced to duel the young reptilian in the nude, to keep it from alerting its parents to his presence on the AAnn homeworld.
* In the ''[[Le
* The universe of [[Space Captain Smith]] features Wainscott, the leader of an elite commando team. Wainscott fights naked whenever he can (partly to unnerve his enemies), which is unusual for a combat officer in what is otherwise an [[Expy]] of the British Empire. He's possibly a shout-out to Orde Wingate; see the Real Life example below.
* In [[Michael Kurland]]'s ''[[The Unicorn Girl]]'', this is given a truly unique justification. The characters visit a Victorian-like world where most people cannot even ''see'' nudity, a fact which some thieves are very happy to take advantage of. When our heroes get accused of the crime, they end up resorting to a naked escape themselves.
* [[Tarzan]] was sometimes naked in the original works by [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]], even as an adult. "Clothing was a hindrance and a bother", claims the character in one story.
== Live Action TV ==
Line 205 ⟶ 216:
* Marbod Whitefalcon (in Yulia Latynina's ''[[One Hundred Fields]]'') once took over a castle from inside almost singlehandedly and wearing nothing but his sword; justified in that he was taken prisoner and stripped of all his possessions previously, and didn't have the time to get dressed to preserve the element of surprise after escaping. This whole scene (and the fact that Marbod celebrated by laughing maniacally and eating a chicken while still naked and surrounded by hideously disfigured fresh corpses) still freaked out the Earthman who happened to be in his retinue very much.
* During the pilot for ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', [[Robot Girl|Cameron]] beats the hell out of several men [[Fan Service|while completely stark naked]].
* ''[[Mock the Week]]'': The round was Wheel of News and the subject was "Burglary". Andy Parsons contribution was to admit to sleeping nude as a tactic should he be burgled, as it would be more intimidating than confronting the burglar in [http://www.flickr.com/photos/24109202@N04/3642142706/ "Paisley pyjamas"]{{Dead link}}. At the other end of the scale he said the idea could be improved by confronting the burglar wearing a gimp mask and saying "I'm so glad you came!"
* In ''[[Dollhouse]],'' the first time we ever see Alpha, although he's not attacking anyone, he is naked. Then the camera pans to show us a dead woman and blood all over the floor, implying this trope.
* ''[[La Femme Nikita]]'' episode "War" begins with Nikita in the shower when several Red Cell agents come to kill her. She stalks and dispatches them while still nude.
Line 217 ⟶ 228:
* In BBC's ''[[Sherlock]]'', Irene Adler (a dominatrix from whom Sherlock is trying to gain some incriminating photos on behalf of the Queen of England), knowing Sherlock is coming, agonizes for a scene over what to wear, and finally settles on what she calls her "battle dress." Her totally unexpected entrance, buck naked, shuts up even the un-flusterable Sherlock; a major focus of the rest of the episode is Sherlock's fascination with her after she managed to completely outwit his deductive skills in this way.
▲== Myths & Religion ==
* [[Older Than Dirt]]: Enkidu fought [[The Epic of Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh]] naked. After the fight, they became... [[Ho Yay|friends]].
== Tabletop Games ==
Line 230 ⟶ 239:
* The members of clan [[Vampire: The Masquerade|Gangrel]] usually aren't keen on wearing any clothes.
* [[Dark Action Girl|Battlebabes]] in Vincent Baker's ''[[After the End|Apocalypse World]]'' RPG can have an ability called [[Waif Fu|Impossible Reflexes]] that protects them from harm when unencumbered; the actual rules are Armour +1 when wearing normal clothes, and Armour +2 when naked or nearly naked.
* ''[[GURPS]]'' has the "Bulletproof Nudity" optional rule, for a certain kind of cinematic game - the less you wear, the harder you are to hit. For many players, this rewards you for dressing your character up in cheesecake armour. For a certain kind of player this rewards battlefield streaking.
* In ''[[Exalted]]'', the Deathlord known as the Bishop of the Chalcedony Thurible has a "war form" that actually ''exaggerates'' this - not only is it naked, it sprouts multiple sets of genitals. Not many people ''like'' the form (once described by a snarky freelancer as a "monster made of dicks"), but it's there.
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'':
** One of the villains in the module ''Vault of the Drow'' (way back in 1978) was Silussa, a succubus consort of the drow vampire Belgos. Both illustrations featuring her were of a fighting stance not wearing a thing, suggesting that's how she confronted the Player Characters. She would appear much later in ''[[Nodwick]]'' where Piffany's magic covered her with censor bars.
** Many illustrations in the earlier manuals had "monster porn" (as it's called), topless or nude female monsters, often in fighting stances. The Type V demon (later called marilith) [https://officialbestiary.fandom.com/wiki/File:Marilith.jpg is a frequent][https://oldschoolfrp.tumblr.com/post/181246588250/type-v-demon-aka-marilith-a-female-form offender], while [https://officialbestiary.fandom.com/wiki/Sirine the siren looked like she was in a knife-fight with an unseen foe], and was nude except for a belt. The original Harpy illustration was topless, looking like she was about to swoop upon a foe with a knife, but in most cases with harpies (who are hideous, ugly, savage creatures) it's a case of [[Fan Disservice]]. (These links are NSFW, of course.)
** Similarly, [[Horny Devils|the Erinyes]] from the original ''Monster Manual'' is naked, [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Erinyes holding a dagger, and in a fighting stance], while the [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Succubus equally-nude succubus] seems like she's about to pounce. As the links show, later editions gave them more modesty.
** Eilistraee - a goddess worshipped by [[Black Sheep|good-aligned drow]] - is often depicted as doing this in mythology and art (nudity representing the concept of Freedom, which she embodies), but the Trope is actually subverted with her clergy. While nudity is indeed required for [[Nude Nature Dance| their ceremonies]], along with [[Dance Battler| music, dance, and swordplay]], they're likely only to do this if said ceremony is interrupted by an enemy. When they expect combat, they are smart enough to use armor, especially since ranged weapons are taboo for Eilistraee's followers, for an unrelated reason.
== Theater ==
* The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden staged a production of ''Salome'' by Richard Strauss with a local busker strangely cast as a naked, blood-splattered executioner.
* In ''[[Equus]]'', Alan's [[Eye Scream|attack]] on the horses.
== Video Games ==
Line 249 ⟶ 261:
* Pigsy, the criminally insane, [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw-wielding]] maniac from ''[[Manhunt]]''. Don't worry, he isn't completely nude... he's wearing the decapitated head of a pig as a hat.
* The Shade class in ''[[Anarchy Online]]'' was added to the game during its first expansion. All classes in AO get a class specific type of armor. The Shades'? Their class specific armor is ''nanite laced tattoo ink''. In other words, Shades in their class armor fight essentially naked covered in magic bodypaint. [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] abounds.
* In some games in the ''[[Castlevania]]'' series where she appears, Carmilla is naked, covering herself with a giant skull-like mask as she attacks with evil magic.
* The Diseased in ''[[Penumbra (video game series)|Penumbra]]'' (although they are heavily mutated by that point).
* Governor Vicus Cassus from ''[[Clive Barker's Jericho]]'', who doesn't wear a stitch of clothing. This is made worse by his extreme obesity, and the fact that his stomach is slit open vertically (which he uses to help him attack—he pulls his stomach open and spews the contents of his intestines at the protagonists).
Line 269 ⟶ 282:
* The Brood Mother(s) from both ''[[Dragon Age]]'' games {{spoiler|especially "The Mother" in the Awakenings expansion}}.
* The infamous [[Mind Screw|endgame sequence]] from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty]]'', where Raiden runs around bare-assed for quite a while.
* The Witch in ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' (at least that's what the game calls her; [[Witch with a Capital B| players have another name]]), clearly ''not'' done for Fanservice, as she's a hideous female zombie who screams as she lunges at the player with an attack that can very likely kill in one hit.
* In ''[[Knights of Xentar]]'', the main character starts out totally buck naked due to a really bad case of [[Honor Before Reason]] as well as being hung over that leads to him being stripped entirely of his equipment.
** And then he ''beats'' those thieves who robbed him single-handedly afterward while still being naked. Unfortuntely, he never gets his equipment back.
* Goldmane the Skinner, a Garrison Follower in the ''Warlords of Draenor'' expansion of ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', who can be recruited after you rescue him from the Iron Horde. A tiger-like beast-man, he wears no clothing even if you upgrade his armor. Possibly befitting of his class, Assassin-Rogue. Ironically, he has the Tanning profession, meaning he can gain materials for ''making'' clothing.
* The Naked Emperor from [[Fairytale Fights]].
* Most of the specimens in ''[[Killing Floor]]''.
Line 278 ⟶ 293:
* The 2 sequels to ''[[Saints Row]]'' gives the player the option to fight naked, though your naughty bits are covered up in pixels.
* In the non-censored version of ''[[The Witcher]]'', you fought several types of naked female foes, from hot, floating vampires to fat, sagging, old witches.
* In ''[[Lust Grimm]]'', being naked is an actual status effect, increasing damage dealt and received and granting access to specific skills. You can take off your clothes by using a specific skill, and enemies automatically do so once they reach 50% HP or less.
* Downplayed with Lucy in ''[[Whacked]]'', as she's technically not fully naked for the [[Deadly Game]]; she wears gloves and stockings, but nothing else. Her chest and hips are covered by [[Censor Bar]]s.
* ''[[Doom (2016)|Doom]]'' starts with "Doomguy" [[Fan Nickname| (as he's called)]] naked and [[Strapped to An Operating Table]] (well, sacrificial altar, but same idea); he breaks free, grabs a laser pistol, and kills a few demons and cultists before eventually finding the [[Powered Armor]] he uses for the rest of the game.
* In some of the beta-versions of ''[[Yandere Simulator]]'' it was possible for Yan-Chan to disrobe and attack a target while naked; in fact, she could do ''anything'' while naked, and none of the other characters would notice. This was done away (mostly) with in the 2018 version, where she can only disrobe in the locker room and cannot leave that room unless she is dressed. Although, assaulting a victim ''there'' is certainly an option.
== Web Comics ==
* Seems to be a recurring element in the (''extremely'' [[NSFW]]) webcomic ''[[Electric Retard]]'', probably because the [[Ax Crazy|ax crazies]] in question have a tendency to rape and/or defecate on their victims. Plus it would be difficult to find clothes that would fit Giant Naked Hitler.
* Drip, from ''[[Jack (webcomic)|Jack]]''. Not especially surprising, as he's the [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of the sin of Lust, and a serial rapist and murderer in life.
* [
* Nesuko from ''The Adventures of Boschen and Nesuko'' likes to fight (and generally live life) naked.
* Kind of obligatory in ''[[Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic]]'' considering the amount of nudity in the strip.
* Seraphim of ''[[Megatokyo]]'' used this on Asmodeus [http://megatokyo.com/strip/300 here.] Although in this case, [[Shameless Fanservice Girl|the nudity and the attack are one and the same.]]
* ''[[Schlock Mercenary]]'':
** [[Four-Star Badass|Old general]] Karl Tagon, in a heroic version of the trope, [
** Later, one of the [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Fobott'r]] <ref>who joined recently and was eager to demonstrate readiness, but haven't receive a memo yet that this team habitually ends up in the middle of the weirdest and thickest mess available, and their sergeant does err on the side of [[Crazy Prepared]] despite [[Immune to Bullets|being largely unaffected by most small arms and explosives used against infantry]]</ref> answered a call to battle with [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2017-05-08 anti-materiel rifle and no clothes]. The first problem was not even lack of armor, but lack of special ammunition left in some of those pockets
{{quote|'''Peri''': You go to war with the pants you're wearing, not the pants on the floor beside your bed. }}
:* ...and then she caught some incoming fire and became a patient of [[Meatgrinder Surgery|their new surgeon]].
{{quote|'''Schlock''': This? THIS is why you [[Never Bring a Knife to a Gun Fight|don't bring a birthday suit to a trouser fight]].
'''Neeka''': You ran into battle without your carapace. Most military doctrines discourage this approach. }}
* Heroic example in ''[[Fite!]]'': Guz normally wears armor, but when he and Lucco were attacked while bathing in the river, he didn't bother to put it (or anything else) on, he just grabbed his sword and shield and started fighting. (Lucco elected to pull his trunks on.)
* A bidirectional example can be found as part of a fraternity initiation ritual in ''[[Tales Of Gnosis College]]''.
Line 302 ⟶ 323:
* The [[Multi-Armed and Dangerous|marilith]] in the title image of [http://lotfp.blogspot.com/ this blog:] bare-naked, true, but [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette|creepy, pallid]], [[Snake People|serpentine]], and [[Fan Disservice|decidedly not sexy]].
* Some [[Protectors of the Plot Continuum]], when in the form of a Mermaid, Centaur, or Nymph, will forgo clothing due to the species being [[Innocent Fanservice Girl|Innocent Fanservice People]]. They still have to kill the [[Mary Sue]]/[[Marty Stu]] or exorcise the fanauthor's influence.
* In ''[[Darwin's Soldiers]]'' [[Snake People|Spc. Crota]] ended up fighting a [[Poisonous Person|Black]] [[Snake People|Mamba]] completely naked.
* This is Nudist Man of the ''[[Legion of Net.Heroes]]''{{'}}s modus operandi (and one of the main reasons why it's not an actual comic).
* From ''[[SCP Foundation]]'', SCP-029 is an assassin who is either a worshipper of Kali or Kali herself, and she can turn almost anything into a weapon. The Foundation doesn't let her have anything she might use as such, including clothing, but she can - and ''has'' - attacked and killed more than one D-class and at least one researcher while completely nude.
== Western Animation ==
* Brock Sampson in ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' once went on a naked rampage while fighting off Phantom Limb's goons.
{{quote|'''Monarch:''' Nice ass, Samson.}}
* Played for laughs in an episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' where Plankton switches places with Mr. Krabbs thanks to a reality-altering device. Plankton wears the pants at the Krusty Krab, and Krabbs takes his place trying to steal the formula—butt naked.
* The Flesh from the ''[[KaBlam!]]!'' short "[[Action League NOW]]!" is "super strong, yet super naked." However, unlike most other characters who fall under this trope, he's not insane or villanous so much as heroic and [[Cloudcuckoolander|goofy]].
* Pam is Implied to have given one to Malory in the [[Archer]] episode ''El Secuestro''. Bonus points go to Pam for having the terrifying third stanza of ''The Destruction of Sennacherib'' tattooed on her back under thirteen tally marks.
* In episode of [[Matts Monsters]], the protagonists had to fight a monster that stole clothes, forcing them fight him in the nude.
* ''[[Samurai Jack]]'':
** The Daughters of Aku from the 2017 revival, possibly; at first they appeared to be wearing black form-fitting bodysuits, but in the sixth episode it is revealed that their bodies have actually been covered with ash-like substance from being exposed to hot coals of the Pit of Hate when they were children. This would have implied that the seven women were stark naked the entire time they tried to kill Jack However, Jack's voice actor noted that the group were wearing very clingy bodysuits able to store their weapons.
** Played straight, however, in the eighth episode. [[The Worm That Walks| Lazarus-92]] dissolves Ashi's makeshift leaf-gown, forcing her to fight it nude until Jack gives her his gi.
* In the first episode of ''[[Little Demon]]'', Laura (the protagonist's mother and a ''ferocious'' [[Mama Bear]]) uses a ritual to enter the Astral Plane, growing out of the body of a demon, and [[Naked on Arrival]]. While there are other demons around, Laura is [[Crazy Prepared]], regurgitating a bag she previously swallowed holding the pieces of a magical revolver, which she quickly assembles and uses to kill another demon, then take its clothes in order to continue kicking ass in her goal to find her daughter.
