Clothing Damage: Difference between revisions

(update links)
Line 72:
* ''[[Dragon Ball]]''
** Played for comedic effect when a child Goku seems to have no problem fighting in front of a large crowd completely naked (his clothes destroyed by his Oozaru transformation). Similarly, he is unfazed when only his pants are completely destroyed in a later battle.
** This is [[NoWon't SellWork On Me|the only kind of damage]] Taopaipai takes from the Kamehameha.
** Clothing damage is more or less a given in every fight of ''[[Dragonball Z]]'', and nearly random in exposure area. Recoome's chest and butt are exposed by a blast from Vegeta, Goku's shirt is stripped off by a fireball launched by Vegeta.... well, the important thing is that someone's shirt gets torn off, at least In fact, Goku's shirt gets torn so much that you can gauge where in the fight you are by it—if it's still there, and the enemy looks dead, it isn't over yet. Apparently, aliens are immortal unless Goku is topless.
** In any fight involving fighters with Saiyan armour, the plates extending out over the shoulder or forming a sort of skirt around the waist ''always'' got broken off. At the beginning of the Cell saga the only character who still wears the stuff is Vegeta, and it no longer features shoulders pads or the skirt stuff (which [[The Other Wiki]] tells me are called Faulds in European armour and Tare in Japanese armour).
Line 87:
** The manga shows Chrono's clothes dissolving in a flashback to when he {{spoiler|was first crowned 1000 demon slayer, or whichever version you prefer}}.
* In ''[[Mysterious Girlfriend X]]'', the title character does this to herself and others with a pair of scissors she keeps in her panties.
* ''[[To Love LOVE-Ru]]'' has clothing damage about every other chapter. In the anime, [[Once Per Episode|every]] ''[[Once Per Episode|episode]]''. Doesn't matter what the cause is, any female in the cast is going to get her clothing torn off in some way.
* ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]''
** Surprisingly uncommon, considering its infamous [[Transformation Sequence]], but there's a very straight example near the end of [[The Original Series]]. Fate [[Deflector Shields|blocks]] Nanoha's [[Wave Motion Gun|Divine Buster]], but the effort causes her Barrier Jacket to get torn in a lot of places.
Line 105:
* In ''[[Strike Witches]]'', Charlotte Yeager manages to break the sound barrier during an engagement. She's so fast that she slams onto the enemy, tearing both the enemy and her clothes apart. The rescue squad (Yoshika and Lynnette) can only nervously laugh while they carry her nude body back to base.
* Plenty of times in ''[[Asu no Yoichi]]''. Tsubasa's fighting style is ''dependent'' on clothing damage.
* An early chapter in the ''[[MaiMy-HiME]]'' manga has some kind of water monster that '' melts'' girls' clothing. [[Justified Trope|Possibly justified]] because it was looking for HiME, who are [[Power Tattoo|identifiable by marks that can appear anywhere on their bodies]]. (When it actually catches one of the HiME, it locks her in to suffocate her.)
* ''[[One Piece]]''
** Mr. 3 uses his Wax-Wax powers to trap Zoro, Nami and Vivi on a giant wax sculpture, with a rotating set of candles slowly encasing them in wax. Usopp manages to release them, burning away Nami's shirt and singing Vivi's, but leaving Zoro's untouched. Usopp also burns off Luffy's vest in order to save him from the Color Trap that Miss Goldenweek painted on it.
Line 287:
* In ''[[Coffy]]'', a [[Blaxploitation]] movie starring [[Pam Grier]], the title character gets into a fight with a bunch of female [[Mooks]], seemingly making a point of ripping each and every one of their shirts wide open and exposing their bare breasts.
* In ''[[Kung Pow! Enter the Fist]]'' near the beginning Chosen One attacks a henchman, ripping his outfit until his torn clothing takes the appearance of a bikini.
* In ''[[Dead Air (2009 ilmfilm)||Dead Air]]'' a female victim of the [[Technically Living Zombie]] infected gets her shirt torn during the attack, exposing a breast. This can go into [[Fan Disservice]] for some as she soon rises as a zombie herself, snarling and bleeding from her eyes and mouth.
* In ''[[Cape Fear]]'' Max Cady's shirt is damaged when Danielle sets him on fire.
* In ''[[Home Alone|Home Alone 2]]'', Harry's coat collar is charred after he soaks his burning head in a toilet filled with kerosene, blowing the house up.
Line 320:
*** It was parodied in the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode, where Shatner simply ''tears his own shirt'' right before a discussion.
** It was also parodied in the actual show. The one episode where Kirk manages to NOT tear his shirt, [[The McCoy|McCoy]] walks up behind him and rips the sleeve off... to give Kirk a shot, apparently. All the other characters got the injection in their neck, but Kirk can't be forced to end an episode with his shirt intact!
* ''[[Star Trek: Enterprise|Star Trek Enterprise]]''. The Augments in Season 4 wear permanently tattered clothing.
* In ''[[The Sarah Connor Chronicles]]'', when Cameron launches her [[One-Man Army|One-Cyborg Army]] assault on the LA County Prison lockup. Her clothes are absolutely ''riddled'' with bullet holes, but the only result from that is a lot of red stains from her cyborg blood and one half her face being shredded clean off by a shotgun blast.
* The ''[[Myth BustersMythBusters]]'' tried a variation of this, where the myth was that you could punch a person so hard that his socks would fly off. Turns out, you'd kill the guy several times over ''long'' before you could manage to pull it off, and that's including using battering rams and ''[[Stuff Blowing Up|high explosives]]''. Not surprising, given the nature of form-fitting, elastic-banded socks. Regular clothing, however, depending on the fabric and construction, can become shredded or completely torn away at lower, survivable overpressures. Reportedly, people struck by lightning are frequently blown out of their shoes as the electricity instantly vaporizes foot sweat, literally popping them off or splitting them apart.
* In ''[[The Troop]]'', the borlak's slime actually ''melts'' their clothes away.
* In the Season 1 finale of ''[[Game of Thrones]]'', {{spoiler|Daenerys walks into her husband's funeral pyre. Since she is immune to heat, she emerges completely naked and covered in soot, but otherwise unharmed.}}
Line 389:
* Happens indirectly during ''[[Die Hard]]: Arcade''. As the stages progress, both main characters' clothes become more ragged.
* In ''[[Spider-Man]] 2: Enter Electro'' during the final battle Spiderman receives heavy clothing damage during his final battle with Electro; the spider symbol on his back is even missing.
* In ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]: [[Blaz BlueBlazBlue: Continuum Shift|Continuum Shift]]'', Bang's revised Astral Finish causes his clothes to ''[[Crowning Moment of Awesome|burn off]] [[Crowning Moment of Funny|at the]] end of it.''
* This happens to the loser of any danmaku duel in the ''[[Touhou]]'' games.
* ''[[Bayonetta]]''
Line 395:
** Moments later, her clothes are ripped by attacking angels in strategic places, including breasts and ass.
* The Japanese [[PlayStation 2]] game ''Nuga-Cel'' has a lot of this, and is actually an important gameplay mechanic. Your team of girls battle against other girls with the help of magical costumes. Along with your standard health, costumes have their own "health" as well. When it's depleted, the poor victim is stripped to her underwear, her stats drop low enough so almost anything will one hit kill, and [[Defeat by Modesty|they will lose a turn while they cover themselves in embarrassment]].
* ''[[StarcraftStarCraft II]]'': Poor Kerrigan...
* In ''[[The 3rd Birthday]]'' PSP game, Aya's clothes can be "damaged" if she gets hurt. There have been screenshots of her left wearing [[Fan Service|very little]] as a result of this.
* ''[[Illbleed]]'' has an interesting example. On a second playthrough, if the protagonist Eriko lets her friends die in the next level her clothing will be torn slightly. If she lets all of them die, by the end she'll be naked save for some mud covering the naughty bits. Now, you don't actually see it damaged, you just have to assume it sort of happens while you aren't looking.
Line 441:
 
== Western Animation ==
* One episode of ''[[Totally Spies!]]'' actually has a minion shoot the girls with a "clothes shrinking ray".
* [[Samurai Jack]] loses clothing this way quite frequently. Seriously, just about every other [http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/5223224/ episode].
* The ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'' episode "Samurai Quack" parodies the above by having Daffy (in the role of Jack) insist that he and Aku can't have their big fight until he's ripped off his shirt, hakama pants, and hair tie, leaving him near-naked and wild-haired. He then rips his own flesh off leaving him a skeleton.
