When a female character's costume doesn't include a
A similar rule applies to succubi, the female [[Horny Devils]].
Line 34:
** Nico Robin is probably most guilty of this among the Straw Hat Pirates. Though the true masters of this trope are the [[Hot Amazon|Kuja Pirates]]. One in particular, Rindo, has the same unzipped leather jacket mentioned in the ''Tokko'' example below.
* Miss Deep of ''[[Read or Die]]''.
* The girls of ''[[Ultimate Girls]]'' may fit this
* Precia Testarossa in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha (anime)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' goes with this and [[Absolute Cleavage]].
* In her mindscape battle with [[Our Vampires Are Different|Evangeline]] during the Mahora Festival [[Tournament Arc]] of ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', Setsuna is shown wearing the [[Sexy Backless Outfit|clothes of the]] [[Winged Humanoid|bird tribe]] which doesn't come with a bra.
Line 47:
** When Silcardo Jenezad obtains his disciple Bulu, it appears as if she wears ''nothing'' from the waist down except for the bottom section of a tunic. Once the inevitable [[Clothing Damage]] starts to pile up, we [http://www.mangareader.net/historys-strongest-disciple-kenichi/464/16 see] her rear end is indeed completely bare.
* ''[[Black Butler|Black Butler II]]'': Episode 6 reveals that, underneath her usual maid outfit, Hannah doesn't wear underwear, only a corset and a see through slip. Probably a case of [[Go-Go Enslavement]], though.
* Honey Kisaragi is often revealed, via [[Clothing Damage]] and [[Wardrobe Malfunction
* ''[[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex]]''. In "ANGELS' SHARE", Kusanagi is in London, wearing a trenchcoat as opposed to her usual [[Stripperiffic]] [[Fan Nickname|battle teddy]], when she has to lure a police Special Weapons officer into an alley so she can [[Mugged for Disguise|steal his uniform]]. She keeps the trenchcoat, but the exposed cleavage shows she's removed everything beneath it.
* In ''[[SHUFFLE!]]!'' (both the anime and the VN), [[Deadpan Loli|Primula]] at first has no idea she's supposed to wear something under her shirt. Rin finds this out [[Wet Sari Scene|the hard way]].
Line 66:
* The Engineer from ''[[The Authority]]''. Her "outfit" was created when her nanomachines came out and [[Chrome Champion|covered her skin]]. Earlier issues showed how form-fitting it was quite clearly. If, for whatever reason, her nanomachines malfunctioned, well, they get reabsorbed into her body leaving nothing behind. [[wikipedia:File:Authority9.jpg|Picture of a cover with her on it here]]. The Engineer straight up admits to being an exhibitionist when challenged on why she doesn't wear anything ''over'' it.
* At least one [[Marvel]] artist draws the Scarlet Witch in outfits that make it clear she can ''not'' be wearing any panties. Said artist stated Wanda goes commando, and insisted there is no canon artwork of her that shows her wearing panties.
* Girl One, a police officer from ''[[Top Ten]]'', surprises her partner by revealing that she's not wearing a funky color-shifting outfit - she can change her pigmentation expertly at will and uses it to simulate the appearance of clothing while she's really naked. Later, she punches out her superior officer Ceasar without any warning, because she found out that dogs are color blind (he's an intelligent dog in a mecha
** The above makes it out to be a little more horrible than it is for Girl One. When asked by her partner why she doesn't wear clothes, she says she's more comfortable without, and it's not like anyone can tell the difference. {{spoiler|This is later subverted when Girl One dies, and her replacement, Girl Two, has an early and unfortunate run in with some would be rapists. Girl Two promptly begins dressing conservatively, and changes careers from cop to lawyer.}}
* Cobweb from ''[[Tomorrow Stories]]'', oh so very much.
Line 113:
== [[Literature]] ==
* In Philip Kerr's SF novel ''The Second Angel,'' a woman named Veronica (a major character) wears a long lambskin coat, but no underwear, even though the Earth has become arctic, due to the melting of the icecaps. This takes Fanservice to the point of [[Exposed to the Elements|near suicide]].
* The female [[Big Bad
* Done by Craye Sawtelle, the [[Evil Sorcerer|Evil Sorceress]] of ''The Spring'', one of the Silver John stories by [[Manly Wade Wellman]]:
{{quote|"She winnowed close then. I made out that she didn't have on air stitch under her silky dress. She was proudly made, and well she knew it. She stood so close she near about touched me."}}
Line 130:
** [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]] much? (IRL Christina Applegate had her breasts removed and rebuilt when she tested positive for a mutant BRCA1 gene...according to her, ''never needing a bra ever again'' doesn't exactly make up for the loss of function.)
* In the ''Dollhouse'' episode of ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'', when Alex hugs Justin, she is noticeably not wearing a bra.
* [[media:
* Professor Amelia Rumford in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' story "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S16/E03 The Stones of Blood|The Stones of Blood]]" wore a silk blouse without a bra when the air was a bit chilly.
* ''[[30 Rock]]'': Liz Lemon counseled her assistant Cerie about wearing revealing outfits and going braless at the office, despite protests from the male staff.
Line 137:
* About half the time the main cast of ''[[Charmed]]'' are on screen, they don't seem to be aware of the existence of bras.
* In the ''[[That '70s Show]]'' episode "The Third Wheel", Eric refers to Hyde's [[Girl of the Week]] as "Little Miss Can't Find a Bra".
* Brittany and Santana went on a date with Finn during the first season of ''[[Glee]]''. Brittany later informed Sue that they tried everything to seduce
* Jaime Sommers in ''[[The Bionic Woman]]'' wears quite a lot of barely legal dresses with no bra, which, in reruns, are slightly startling to modern sensibilities.
* Shamelessly employed on the ''[[Tremors]]'' series, when Rosalita taught a self-defense lesson to Burt's survival class, apparently without realizing her white T-shirt was soaking wet. Not that the guys in the class were complaining, mind you.
Line 174:
* Maki in ''[[Final Fight]] 2''. No wonder she has an only-frontal magic skirt.
* Female characters in ''[[Age of Conan]]'' don't wear bras. This can be seen every time when using the "Hide" ability, as hiding makes your equipment turn transparent.
* Morrigan of ''[[Darkstalkers]]'' fame deserves a special mention. Since her clothing is made up of servant bats that conform to her body and change appearance, literally '''everything''' she wears is
* Another [[Dragon Age|Morrigan]] fits this quite well, and the [[Tsundere]] attitude only helps.
* In ''[[Tsukihime]]'', apparently, Roa's favorite outfit when it was possessing {{spoiler|Ciel in a previous incarnation}} was a partially open cloak. And only that.
Line 188:
* Numerous outfits for the female custom characters in ''[[Soul Calibur]] IV'' appear to be worn without underwear, complete with [[Absolute Cleavage]]. Of course, when [[Clothing Damage]] kicks in, a bra will spontaneously appear where there clearly wasn't one before.
* I-no in the ''[[Guilty Gear]]'' series goes braless, in a top that realistically would show the goods to anyone she was fighting.
* The Oracle in the first ''[[God of War (series)|God of War]]'' has a see-through top and no bra (unlike most examples of
** For a (probably unintentional) male example from the same series, in ''III'', Hercules's [[Loin Cloth]] sometimes clips through his legs, revealing that [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|yes, they did render buttocks on his character model]].
* In ''[[Nie R]]'', Kaine falls under this trope. [[Male Gaze|And the cutscene camera will remind you of it every time.]]
Line 200:
== [[Web Comics]] ==
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', the [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] "Years of Yarncraft" has all female Rose Elves start out wearing [http://sluggy.com/daily.php?date=080812 a see-through top with no bra]. You have to complete a quest in order to earn underwear.
* In ''[[Misfile]]'', Cassiel's wardrobe is this trope incarnate, to the point it seems that she only wears panties in order to do [[Panty Shot
* [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-11-04 Guest comic] in ''[[Cheer]]''
** Upgraded from guest-only to [http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2007-05-01 artist's own] [[
* ''[[Order of the Stick]]'''s Celia is pretty obviously not wearing a bra most of the time, although you can only tell when she turns her back to the "camera": her clothes are all backless on account of her giant fairy wings.
** Sabine does likewise; unsurprisingly, as she is a [[Horny Devils|succubus]].
Line 234:
* A photograph taken at Dutch publisher Playlogic's booth at [[E 3]] 2004 revealed that one of their booth babes was going commando at the time.
* Taiwanese model Vivi Wang created a minor scandal by wearing this trope to the 2007 Taipei Motor Show.
* Czech-Indian Model and actress Yana Gupta was caught by [[Paparazzi]] at a November 2010 charity event in Mumbai wearing nothing underneath her [[Little Black Dress]]. She later explained the circumstances leading to this on <ref>
* Shortly before the 2011 Miss Universe pageant, Miss Colombia Catalina Robayo was [http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2011/09/06/exclusive-miss-colombia-reprimanded-for-going-commando-during-miss-universe/ caught wearing this trope] at an official event in Sao Paolo. After photographic evidence of this appeared in a local newspaper, event officials [[Please Put Some Clothes On|reminded Ms. Robayo to wear underwear while in public]].
* When she wore a green Versace dress to the Grammy Awards in 2000, Jennifer Lopez was obviously modeling this trope. Her [[wikipedia:File:Jennifer-lopez-green-versace-dress.jpg|photo]] was much reproduced and much commented on.
