(→Anime and Manga: added examples (there's likely more straight examples in the franchise, but I haven't watch every single one of them)) |

* Even though it's ''part of his body'', Greed of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' hardly ever uses his Ultimate Shield on his head. This is [[Justified Trope|explicitly because]] he doesn't like [[Game Face|the way it makes his face look]]. |

* Averted with the ''[[Saga of Tanya the Evil]]'' manga. It tends to be easy to tell Tanya apart from everyone else (as she is so short), but sometimes Visha is hard to identify (unless you know to look for [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|her prominent eyelashes]]), which might make you miss this trope regardless of how silly it is. |

* The ''[[Gundam]]'' franchise ''normally'' averts this, since the standard outfit for piloting a mobile suit is a space suit (even during terrestrial operations) and anyone who gets into one in normal clothes is either [[Falling Into the Cockpit|not the intended pilot]] or conducting an emergency sortie. There are still plenty of straight examples in the franchise however. |

** Nobody in ''[[Mobile Fighter G Gundam]]'' wears a helmet except the zombie pilots of the Death Army, even though the mobile trace system involves the user being physically thrown around inside the cockpit. |
|||
** ''[[After War Gundam X]]'' takes place on Earth and named characters don't wear helmets except for {{spoiler|once the action has moved to space}}. While the apocalypse making them hard to come by might explain their scarcity, nobody seems to get a concussion from being knocked around without one. |
|||
** While the pilots of ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam - the Witch from Mercury]]'' normally wear helmets during mobile suit operations, there's a curious example in episode 4 where Chuchu gets out of her mobile suit to fistfight a pair of bullies, and takes off her helmet ''before'' starting the fight, resulting in her face horribly bruised during the fight ([[Snap Back|emphasis on during, it's fixed the very next scene]]). She clearly wasn't be trying to make it a fair fight, since she opens with a sucker punch. |
