Line 32:
* [[Gundam Seed|Kira Yamato]] always was partial to a snappy outfit, so even his SEED suit had some gratuitous belts, but when the things moved to [[Gundam Seed Destiny]]...
* Lady Emmaniel's outfit in ''[[My Balls]]'' is all belts, including one big one with a hook clasp occasionally managing to stay fastened across her chest. Strategically placed shadows manage to provide whatever modesty she feels she needs to keep; [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]] and censorship take care of the rest.
* Golden Darkness from ''[[To Love LOVE-Ru]]'' has five belts wrapped around each leg that do not seem to serve any actual purpose beyond... well, making you stare at her legs. Yeah, it's that kind of series.
* [[Naruto|Sasuke]] came back from his training for the Chunin Exam finals wearing a black outfit with belts around his left arm and both legs. This trope was actually [[Lampshade Hanging|cited as a reason]] for him returning to the blue outfit he started with at the beginning of the series - the belts were difficult to draw and animate on a regular basis.
* In ''[[One Piece]]'', Ace wears two belts.

== [[Tabletop Games]] ==
* Any and all artwork for ''[[Dungeons and& Dragons]]'' 3rd edition (previous editions had the [[Chainmail Bikini]] instead).
** Especially the Player's Handbook example Sorcerer, Hennet. [http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ph35_gallery/PHB35_PG51_WEB.jpg His clothing appears to be nothing but leather belts.]
*** It's mentioned in passing that he likes to be able to change it around; sorcerers tend to be on [[Chaotic Good|the]] [[Chaotic Neutral|chaotic]] [[Chaotic Evil|axis]].
Line 111:
** [http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t144/EtnaValentine/Disgaea_Etna.jpg Etna] from the same game is a truer example. To wit, she has two belts on each boot, one on each arm, and four stitched to her skirt.
* ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' ''loves'' its belts. Sol Badguy alone has at least 20 on his costume, and his rival, Ky Kiske, has around the same number. Also, every playable character except Justice, Anji and Baiken has at least 3 belts with them.
** Ragna The Bloodedge, Sol's [[Spiritual Successor]] from ''[[Guilty Gear]]'''s [[Spiritual Successor]] ''[[Blaz BlueBlazBlue]]'', has at least ten belts.
*** And Tager has 2 '''[[Memetic Mutation|GIGANTIC ZIPPERS]]'''
*** Jin has only 3 belts. This is clearly the source of his rivalry with Ragna.
Line 130:
** Trish has only one belt, but it does have ''two'' buckles. "Too many buckles"?
* ''[[Castlevania]]: Judgment'' features characters from all across the Castlevania series. Unfortunately, they've all been given makeovers by [[Death Note|Takeshi Obata]], who decided that Dracula had two columns of golden nipples down his torso, Death was constructed out of discarded orthopedic braces, and the Belmonts were great big fans of belts. Oddly, the redesigned Alucard wears ''fewer'' belt buckles than he used to have.
* Virginia of ''[[Wild ArmsARMs 3]]'' may be wearing [http://www.rpgfan.com/pics/wildarms3/art-char-04.jpg too many belts] for a western setting. For that matter, Clive's [http://www.rpgfan.com/pics/wildarms3/art-char-03.jpg jacket] pushes overkill with the belts in place nobody would ever want to buckle, and Janus seems to have that problem and also the problem of [http://www.rpgfan.com/pics/wildarms3/art-char-05.jpg trying to use a belt in place of a holster].
* Many of the class designs in ''[[Trickster Online]]'', although the [http://www.mytrickster.net/wiki/index.php/Image:Warrior.jpg Warrior] and [http://www.mytrickster.net/wiki/index.php/Image:Thief_Master.jpg Thief Master] may take the cake.
* ''[[Skies of Arcadia]]'''s lead character Vyse uses belts to hold his sleeves together. He's also got belts on his cuffs. Combined with the ''necessary'' belt on his waist, that brings him up to five. He also has two belts on his shoes, as does his friend Aika. Aika's evil doppelganger, Anita, has extra belts, one on each shoe and one on her thigh. Interestingly, Vyze's doppelganger Vize has ''less'' belts.
