2	* '''Straight''': Bob gets into a fight [[ShirtlessScene and has his shirt ripped off.]]
3	* '''Exaggerated''': When Bob goes into the fight, he's fully clothed. By the end of it, he's completely naked.
4	* '''Downplayed''': Bob gets a small tear on his sleeve, but that's it.
5	* '''Justified''':
6	** Bob isn't wearing armour and he's up against an opponent with a bladed weapon.
7	** Bob has [[SuperToughness superhuman physical endurance]], which doesn't extend to his clothes.
8	* '''Inverted''': During the fight, Bob's opponent throws another shirt on him.
9	* '''Subverted''': Bob gets his shirt ripped off in the fight, only to reveal he's got another one underneath.
10	* '''Double Subverted''': Then he loses ''that'' one.
11	* '''Parodied''':
12	** Whenever Bob does so much as strike a pose, his shirt explodes. Whenever he walks by a branch, it tears his shirt off. He just looks ''that good'' shirtless.
13	** Bob gets into a fight with Don Cuchillo. He gets a rip on the sleeve of his shirt, which subsequently ''[[IncendiaryExponent catches fire]]'' to reveal his [[HeroicBuild rock-hard abs]], complete with their own [[{{Sexophone}} theme music]]
14	* '''Zig Zagged''': Bob loses his shirt in the fight, but is wearing another one under it. Then later, it gets damaged, but magically fixes itself. Then he loses it anyway.
15	* '''Averted''': If Bob fights at all, [[BulletproofFashionPlate his clothes are unscathed throughout.]]
16	* '''Enforced''': "Bob's our number-one MrFanservice, and everyone wants to see him with his shirt off. Why don't we use this big fight as an excuse for him to lose it?"
17	* '''Lampshaded''':
18	** "Great. Bob, did you lose your shirt again? The tailor's getting annoyed with you."
19	** When Bob loses his shirt, he just so happens to look like he's posing, and his female teammates can be seen swooning in the background.
20	* '''Invoked''':
21	** Bob [[BattleStrip rips up]] ''[[BattleStrip his own]]'' [[BattleStrip shirt]], just because.
22	** Bob is a HandsomeLech who's ''trying'' to lose his shirt so he can show off to his female teammates.
23	* '''Exploited''': Bob keeps a trapped rune underneath his clothes, to blast [[SmugSnake Charlie]] when he pulls his trademark trick.
24	* '''Defied''': Bob specifically wears clothes that are resistant to tearing.
25	* '''Discussed''': "That's Bob. He tends to lose his shirt a lot, so watch out, ladies."
26	* '''Conversed''': "Yeah, they're just blatantly having Bob's shirt get ripped so we can see his muscles."
27	* '''Implied''': Bob goes to [[BattleDiscretionShot fight offscreen]], and returns without his shirt. It isn't clarified if it was destroyed, or if he performed a BattleStrip instead.
28	** The fight is not shown, and neither is Bob after the fight. However, we ''do'' get to see a couple of females swooning over Bob, commenting on his amazing physique.
29	* '''Deconstructed''':
30	** Bob's shirt was armoured, and without it, his enemy is easily able to strike a crippling blow.
31	** Bob gets a [[{{Gorn}} nasty flesh wound]] to go along with losing his shirt, [[FanDisservice negating most of the fan service]].
32	** Bob goes broke from spending a fortune on clothes he barely gets to wear before fate conspires to shred them.
33	* '''Reconstructed''':
34	** Bob notices his armor is gone and adapts his tactics to accommodate for it.
35	** Bob explicitly wears loose, fragile clothes which tear easily, so that his enemies believe he has taken more hits than he actually has.
36	** Once Bob loses his shirt, he's able to defeat his opponent easily [[DistractedByTheSexy because they're too busy ogling his abs.]]
37	* '''Played For Drama''':
38	** Bob is defeated by the BigBad, and left in a sorry state since he is now battered, beaten, broken, and naked. [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty The villain takes some time to gloat over this.]]
39	** Losing his shirt sends Bob into a panic attack as he gets unpleasant flashbacks to when he was sexually assaulted.
40	** Bob gains a painful and gruesome wound.
41	* '''Played For Laughs''':
42	** Bob loses his shirt in the middle of the fight, which is [[FanDisservice NOT a pleasant image.]] His opponent tells him to PleasePutSomeClothesOn and halts just so Bob'll do that.
43	** Bob's left [[ComedicUnderwearExposure in his boxers]] after taking a particularly heavy blow.
44	* '''Plotted A Good Waste''': The fight being so {{Fanservice}}-y helps take some of the edge off the fact that all combatants involved are locked in a brutal fight to the death.
