History Main / ClothingDamage

* In ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}'', the evil sidekicks are physically vulnerable to ThePowerOfLove. Therefore, it's actually an important plot point that Officers Policeguy and Hipbone suffer clothing damage [[[[http://girlyyy.com/go/681 when fighting the sidekick police]].

* A male example in ''LightNovel/BakaToTestToShoukanjuu'': Hideyoshi suffers {{Stripperiffic}} ClothingDamage in episode five, complete with BishieSparkle and [[HoYay Yoshii]] [[LuminescentBlush blushing]].

* Pretty much a given for any fight in ''Anime/RaveMaster'' (unless you're watching the anime). Special mention goes to Julia, for having her first fight include so much ClothingDamage that afterwards all she has left is her underwear and a bra fashioned from the remains of her shirt.

* Funnily enough, it's the men in ''Manga/DGrayMan'' that suffer the most ClothingDamage. Allen and Kanda especially suffer from this, constantly having most of their shirt torn up. Lenalee also gets her jacket burnt off during her battle with Eshi.

* ''Anime/TheAnimatrix'' short "Final Flight of the Osiris" opens with a blindfolded swordfight with nothing but ClothingDamage, until both man and woman are almost naked. Mind you, it ''was'' intended as foreplay.
* ''{{Anastasia}}'': In the final battle, Rasputin gets his minions to rip and tear Anya's ball gown.

** This is also parodied with Tim Allen's character, Jason Nesmith. Captain Taggart's clothing damage is also lampshaded. This is fitting, since he's a Kirk parody and ClothingDamage was always happening to Kirk in fights that didn't even muss other character's hair.

** Nipple slip while executing a Side Russian Legsweep on [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wcw/wcw-tv.html WCW World Television Champion]] Disco Inferno in their non-title (due to {{Wrestling/WCW}} not wanting to sanction an intergender match for a title) match at WCW Halloween Havoc 97, prompting commentator [[Wrestling/BobbyHeenan Bobby "The Brain" Heenan]] to say, "Replay!"

** Nipple slip during the Bikini Contest against {{Wrestling/Sable}} at {{Wrestling/WW|E}}F Fully Loaded, July 26, 1998.
** Exposed (both breasts) in the first-ever Evening Gown Match on [[{{WWERaw}} Raw]], September 14, 1998, by {{Wrestling/Sable}}.
** Wrestling/{{Sable}}[=/=]{{Wrestling/Christian}} d. Jacqueline/Marc Mero at WWE's UK-only Capital Carnage PPV on December 6, 1998. After the match, Jackie climbed onto referee Tim White's shoulders and started punching at him and Sable simply pulled Jackie's shirt right off of her body, leaving her topless on camera.

* In the "La La" stage in ''EliteBeatAgents'', ending the first section in the red results in Cap White taking some serious ClothingDamage. In the "Canned Heat" stage, ending the second section in the red causes Ken to accidentally cut up his {{ninja}} costume while slicing open a door with his katana.

** Happens to TheWasp, Comicbook/CaptainAmerica, BlackPanther, and several civilians and {{SHIELD}} agents (but not Comicbook/IronMan) after The Leader unleashes a gamma explosion that turns them into monsters.

** It's actually such a RunningGag that, during the climax of the last arc... [[spoiler: a CuteWitch named Nutmeg attempts to rally some Magical world citizens and protect them from monsters. While she succeeds, the magic circle she invoked to do so... [[http://www.mangareader.net/mahou-sensei-negima/322/8 blows everyone's clothes off, male or female]].]]

* ''Anime/MazingerZ'': It happened to Sayaka Yumi in the original manga sometimes (too many times for her liking). Given that it was created by GoNagai, the man introduced Fanservice in anime, it is not surprising. In one chapter, several female robots with blades replacing her arms sliced her dress to ribbons, without actually cutting her flesh or underwear.

* The title {{Superhero}}ine of the comic ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' has a [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman super-suit]] that literally shreds with a touch, cannot be worn with other clothing ([[{{Vaporwear}} including underwear]]) and weakens her powers when torn. The suit can repair itself, but only a day later.

* A distinctly non-{{Fanservice}} example: at the end of ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', [[PlayerCharacter Shepard]] [[spoiler:gets his/her armor burned away by [[EldritchAbomination Harbinger]]'s [[WaveMotionGun attack]], leaving just a charred and blackened shell - and in some places, burnt and bleeding skin. He/she ''[[MadeOfIron survives]]'' the blast, despite everyone and everything else in its line of fire getting incinerated, and limps grimly on all the way to the ending.]]

* In ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'', after being grazed by [[spoiler: Harbinger's main gun, designed to easily destroy ''Dreadnoughts'']] at point-blank range, the only damage Shepard [[MadeOfIron seems to suffer]] is for their armour to be burnt off enough to reveal the undersuit beneath.

* UK synthpop group has the song "Tattered Dress."

* Noblesse Mostly to the men, especially the attractive ones.

* ''Noblesse'' Mostly to the men, especially the attractive ones.

* ''[[Noblesse]]'' Mostly to the men, especially the attractive ones.

* ''[[Nobless]]'' Mostly to the men, especially the attractive ones.

* ''Manga/DragonBall''
** 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 [[NoSell the only kind of damage]] Taopaipai takes from the Kamehameha.
** Clothing damage is more or less a given in every fight of ''Manga/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.

** This is actually used for a TomatoSurprise in the first game. The character [[{{Bifauxnen}} King]] ''looks'' perfectly masculine (if a bit like a pretty boy), unless defeated with a fireball-type attack in the deciding round... which blows open King's shirt and reveals her bra.
** In the second game, defeating ''anyone'' with a fireball wrecks their outfit. But only King and [[GenkiGirl Yuri]] reveal the lingerie beneath. For them, this Clothing Damage caused by a Special or Super Attack carries over to the crossover game ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' (first two installments: '94 and '95; ceases afterwards). To their credit, Yuri covers up after she lands, and King covers up (even managing to stay conscious to do so!) in the ''Art of Fighting'' games.

* Non-humans in the DresdenFiles tend to wear clothes less durable than their semi-immortal selves. Hence, if one is hit by, say, a point-blank concussion grenade, they may outlive their clothes.

* In ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' (the game, and likely the movie), taking damage from gunfire will perforate both Wolverine and his clothing. His body regenerates, but the shirt does not. Strangely, he always seems to find a new one between stages, and the pants never take so much as a ding... Not to mention he recovers his shirt every time he levels up.
