Handwraps of Awesome: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

Awesome gloves that are made entirely out of wrapping bandages or cloth around the hands and knuckles. Often seen during poses flying free or being wrapped using [[Oral Fixation Fixation|the character's mouth]]. Boxers tend to wear these since [[Rule of Cool|normal boxing gloves aren't cool enough for fiction]]. Application usually takes place in the montage before a fight.

 

[[Truth in Television]], as wearing hand wraps is generally a good idea. The compression helps reduce metacarpal fractures and braces the wrist, which is very important when your blow doesn't land dead on. That and boxing gloves are really uncomfortable without that extra layer. But not all the time...

 

* Sasagawa Ryohei of ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'' is never seen without handwraps.

* Rock Lee in ''[[Naruto]]'' wears those. He actually unwraps them during a fight, to restrain the enemy for his [[Meteor Move]].
