History Main / OutOfClothesExperience

** There was one way before that on Planet Namek. During his fight with Freeza, Goku has a visualization of Vegeta... who is completely naked for some inexplicable reason. This comes off seeming ''really'' strange because both Bardock and King Vegeta also show up in it, but they are fully clothed.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': At one point in ''Unfinished Business'', Carol ends up in the Green after [[spoiler: [[BalefulPolymorph Nimue turns her into a tree]]]], and finds that she's naked. She's understandably upset about this, but relieved [[ResidualSelfImage when just thinking about her armor causes it to appear on her.]]

* ''Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon''': Be Invoked does this to everyone in its KillEmAll ending.

'''[[spoiler:Largo]]:''' (''magic voice'') You and I are light and shade.\\

* Prez experiences this in one of the last arcs of ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989''.

* ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'', naturally, mocks DBZ's use of the trope for Vegeta (and ''only'' Vegeta) during the Namek saga. It turns out that at the time Vegeta died, King Yemma was being a troll and ordering the newly deceased to strip upon entering the afterlife.
-->'''Goku:''' Why are you naked? You're naked. Why?\\
'''Vegeta:''' Idiot, you don't take your clothes with you when you die.\\
'''Goku:''' [[JacobMarleyApparel Well, I did.]] Even had my weighted clothes on too, and I didn't even die in those. Huh.\\
'''Vegeta:''' That lying red motherfucker!

* In the first ''Literature/{{Everworld}}'' book, [[HeroicWannabe David]] and the others get sucked into Everworld fully-clothed and have clothes when they get there, but he describes the period between the worlds as floating naked in [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds complete darkness]], aware of some supernatural entity watching him and poking in his memories (which include [[spoiler:being molested as a child]], so the nudity sort of adds subtext there).

[[folder:Religion and Mythology]]
* In Myth/MesopotamianMythology, the goddess Inanna/Ishtar goes down to the Underworld to try and bring back her dead husband. Her sister Ereshkigal, queen of the dead, orders that she remove one of her garments at each of the seven gates, ultimately leaving her naked. When Inanna/Ishtar asks why, she's simply told that it's the rule; however, it's possibly the idea here is that she has to remove all of her divine power, either symbolically or literally, and thus render herself susceptible to Ereshkigal's power.
[[/folder]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', the Ice King has one of these. Thankfully, his beard is inexplicably longer during that scene, protecting the audience from any... unpleasantness.
** In the episode [[Recap/AdventureTimeS5E16Puhoy 'Puhoy']], when Finn [[ItMakesSenseInContext dies of old age in the pillow world]] he has a fantasy where he's floating naked through space, before waking up back in his teenage body again. Like the Ice King, his beard is long enough to almost completely cover his naked body.

* Prez experiences this in one of the last arcs of ''ComicBook/TheSandman''.

* [[MythologyGag Much like in the Japanese localization of]] ''VideoGame/EarthBound,'' ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/9920341/1/ MOTHER - The Novelization]]'' has [[VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings Ninten]] experience this for a short while upon first awakening in [[{{Wackyland}} Magicant]].

* In the Japanese version of ''VideoGame/EarthBound'', Ness is naked in {{Magicant}}. This was [[{{woolseyism}} unsurprisingly removed]] from the US version, where [[{{Bowdlerise}} Ness is in his pajamas instead]]. In any case, since this is an SNES game with 16-bit sprites, there's no objectionable detail to speak of.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': At one point in ''Unfinished Business'', Carol ends up in the Green after [[spoiler: [[BalefulPolymorph Nimue turns her into a tree]]]], and finds that she's naked. She's understandably upset about this, but relieved when just thinking about her armor causes it to appear on her.

** In Shinji's metaphysical encounters with Eva-01's soul, he is completely nude, while in his [[FanNickname "Personal Hell Traincar"]] experiences he is clothed as normal.

* During the climax of ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork5'' [[spoiler: in order to stop [=NebulaGray=], [=MegaMan=] briefly links his soul with Lan in order to become Hub and use his power to weaken the enemy. In this form he is noticeably naked, though a combination of BarbieDollAnatomy and PowerGlows prevents him from flashing the player]].

* Played straight and subverted in ''Webcomic/TheDragonDoctors''; the spirit of Tanica, an assassin trapped in the form of a tree, is shown this way, but when we see many other spirits explicitly clothed, it becomes clear that Tanica's case simply shows off how vulnerable she feels.

* ''To Your Scattered Bodies Go'', the first book of ''Literature/{{Riverworld}}'' by Creator/PhilipJoseFarmer starts with everybody naked. The characters then discuss how do European religions lead people to believe that waking naked in a strange place means they are in hell.

* Pops up often in ''Anime/SailorMoon'', even remaining in TheNineties dub. Like in the {{transformation sequence}}s, however, nothing explicit is observable. It is particularly relevant at the very end of the final episode of ''Stars''; Sailor Moon spends the last episode completely naked and with wings on her back.
* Seen in ''Manga/MartianSuccessorNadesico'' when Yukina falls unconscious, and for [[FanService absolutely no reason]], we briefly see her naked and curled up in the {{fetal position|Rebirth}} in her own mind.

* This happens a few times in adaptations of ''Manga/DevilMan''. In the original manga, Akira tries to convince himself and [[spoiler: the Makimuras]] that he is still human despite also being a devil. A vision then appears of Akira, naked, running from himself as a giant Devilman whose hands have closed around him. Akira has two more experiences in the Devilman: the Demon Bird OVA. Once as [[spoiler: he is fighting the turtle devil Jinmen, who has his mother's soul trapped on his shell after eating her. He is almost defeated and his mother calls out to him. Akira then appears naked in his human form in a vision of an icy cave and witnesses how his mother died. The vision allows him to gain the resolve to defeat Jinmen and save his mother's trapped soul.]] Later, Akira has a dream where he starts clothed in a swimsuit, but becomes naked when the dream quickly shifts into a nightmare that climaxes with Miki impaled on a demon's teeth.
* The scenes in Melfina's cyberspace-ish place in ''Anime/OutlawStar'' are at least a partial case; the IntimateHealing scene with Gene probably clinches it.
* ''Anime/MekakucityActors'' has Takane, [[spoiler:proir to becoming Ene]], losing consciousness and briefly losing clothing in a digital space.
* Played with in the last episode of ''LightNovel/ScrappedPrincess'', where [[spoiler:Pacifica, just [[BackFromTheDead back from being dead]], coalesces naked in the arms of her (fully clothed) older brother. After an awkward moment, she punches him and gets out of his arms and onto whatever passes for the ground in that place, [[AccidentalPervert loudly accusing him of being a pervert.]]]]

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'':
** The Doma {{filler}} saga had this a few times with the Pharaoh in the fetal position to hide his private parts. (That didn't stop 4Kids from cutting these scenes out.)
** Briefly for Noah in another filler [[IncrediblyLamePun ark]], summed up succinctly by ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries'': "Also for some reason I'm naked."
** In ''Anime/YuGiOh5Ds'', when Yusei [[spoiler:achieves Clear Mind for the first time]].
* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'':
** In the final stage of Goku's transformation to SS 3, we briefly go into his mind. Of course, the fetal position is used for... young Goku?
** There was one way before that on Planet Namek. During his fight with Freeza, Goku has a visualization of Vegeta... who is completely naked for some inexplicable reason. This comes off seeming ''really'' strange because both Bardock and King Vegeta also show up in it, but they are fully clothed.
* In ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' Goku appears naked again when he transforms to SS 4.
* ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}''
** In ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', the kids are naked when they merge with their Digimon, and this surprisingly stayed in the dub.
** This was taken a step further in ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'' where the nudity occurs in every single spirit evolution, complete with animations of their clothes appearing to be burned off. Not only that, but in the final form of Susanoomon, ''all five kids are shown standing around naked in a circle, holding hands.'' A few instances were edited, though. The first Susanoomon evolution included a shot of both Takuya and Kouji doing the "clothes burning" thing and their respective Digi-Spirits tossed around them. This short part of the sequence was removed from the dub, possibly due to the implied HoYay from the two... ''[[DoubleEntendre fusing]]''.
* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'' does this a few times in dreams and flashbacks. One in particular shows a young Guts and his stepfather, who is sitting on a chair and petting a dog in a reenactment of a scene from Guts youth only, y'know. Naked.
* ''Anime/GaoGaiGarFinal'': After Mikoto is severely wounded prior to the final battle, she's taken back to the base for recovery. Yet, her mind was able to reach Guy for support, clothes-less.
* ''Anime/GenesisOfAquarion'', ''Anime/AquarionEvol'', and ''Anime/AquarionLogos''. Every episode, often more than once, with minimal SceneryCensor.
* In the end of the first season of ''Anime/{{K}}'', when [[spoiler: the Colorless King tries to possess Weismann again]] and they have a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind, they both appear as [[spoiler: BarbieDollAnatomy-naked... ''Tooru Hieda''. You know, the teenager that the Colorless King body-snatched before attacking Weismann. It's how they both appear most frequently (especially Weismann), but it's still a body that's not actually ''either'' of theirs, as Weismann reminds us in the end of season 2.]]

* When Ichigo merges with the cat in the first episode of ''Manga/TokyoMewMew''.
* ''Manga/NegimaMagisterNegiMagi'': The [[PensieveFlashback dream spell]], which works via a naked astral projection inside someone's mind. Asuna is [[LampshadeHanging not happy about it.]]
* ''Manga/FushigiYuugi'':
** The last episode has Miaka and Tamahome hugging naked on the Astral Plane.
** [[spoiler:When Yui is absorbed into Seiryuu]] she is seen completely naked and [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic in a fetal position]].
** Also, in the 3rd OVA, Mayo and Miaka go to a MetaphysicalPlace of some sort to recite the summoning incantation to call Suzaku, and both are nude while doing so.
* Kaname in ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' when she's plugged into the submarine and doing her Whispered thing.
* In ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'', [[spoiler:Alphonse's real body is left naked, ragged and restless in the endless white void of "The Truth" after the botched human transmutation at the start of the series. Edward even gets to briefly see him when he transmutes his way out from Gluttony's stomach and into Father's lair]]. Also, both [[spoiler:Ed and Pride]] appear naked in chapter 105/episode 61 when [[spoiler:Ed transmutes himself to destroy Pride's container]].
** In [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the 2003 anime version]], this happens when we see a character at the GateOfTruth, though it isn't exactly consistent: Wrath, Izumi, and Alphonse are naked when they're seen at the Gate, but Envy and Edward (much to the fangirls' disappointment) are fully clothed.
** In TheMovie, Wrath is [[spoiler: welcomed to the gate by a naked Izumi]].
* Seen in ''Manga/ShadowStar'' during the occasional peeks into Shiina's psyche.
* Used several times throughout ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''. Examples include Hayate in the Book of Darkness after she became its master, and Caro during her flashback sequence.
* Getting {{Mind Rape}}d in ''Anime/CodeGeass'' sends you to a very unhappy place, sans clothes.
* Lain is curled up naked among cables in the ending credits of ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain''.
* In the ''Anime/{{Gankutsuou}}'' manga, Edmond visualizes himself as naked when he is going mad in prison.
* This happens a few times to Nadia in ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater''.
* And to Chise at the end of ''Manga/{{Saikano}}''.

* ''Manga/ChronoCrusade'':
** The first time Rosette "dives" into a soul, she's depicted as being in a naked "soul" form. Oddly enough, her soul is shown as clothed the next time she does it in the manga.
** Also, in one scene Chrono is shown in a nightmare as being naked in his true form, reaching out a hand as an equally-naked Aion beckons him closer.
** And then there's yet another dream, this time of Rosette's, where she's shown naked in Chrono's arms as he bends forward to sink his fangs into her neck to [[DealWithTheDevil seal the contract]]. Moriyama seems to really like this trope.
* In ''Manga/{{Pretear}}'' episode 12, Mawata is trapped inside the huge evil tree Fenrir created (basically, she is inside her own hatred and despair), separated from the outside world; she is shown naked and curled up in the fetal position when Himeno is trying to get inside the tree and rescue her.
* While being {{Mind Rape}}d in one arc of ''Manga/DescendantsOfDarkness'', Tsuzuki is shown naked. Usually the sight of the very attractive Tsuzuki showing off his muscles would be {{Fanservice}}, but the context and his screams quickly turn it into FanDisservice.
* In the GrandFinale of ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'', [[spoiler:at the end of Alto and [[TheRival Brera's]] final attack run on [[BigBad Grace]], Sheryl and Ranka's song reaches a crescendo where, via their super dimensional PowerOfRock, they project themselves into Alto's mind. Their clothes disintegrate, ending up with them standing naked, back-to-back, to guide his finishing shot.]]
* Interestingly, when Hakufu ends up in a place like this during her JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind in episode 11 of ''Manga/IkkiTousen Dragon Destiny'' she's naked ''except'' for a pair of panties. Kan'u's experience earlier in the series plays this trope straight, however.
* Happens (at least) once in ''Anime/KiddyGrade'', in a later episode [[spoiler:when Lumière uses her Ability to counteract the D-command used on Éclair.]]
* A rather unusual case occurs in TheMovie of ''Manga/AhMyGoddess''. [[spoiler:Belldandy... consoling, then hugging a younger version of herself. Also naked. In waist-deep water for good measure.]] Belldandy's probably the only person (or at least one of a small pool) who could actually get away with this.
* Semi-hallucinatory naked people floating in space are a staple in pretty much all ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' series. Seems this trope is used as a metaphor for direct mental contact: when two psychics are speaking mind-to-mind, they cannot hide anything from each other. In other words, naked in the truest, yet moral sense of the word.
** Lately, it has been used [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 every time the 00 Raiser initiates Trans-Am.]]
** The really egregious examples are ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam Seed Destiny]]'', where naked people are shown unnecessary too often during emotional scenes. The classic UC timeline (one word: Newtypes) has some, but not so much.
** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn'' also makes use of this trope at least twice among the pilots: first during the last-recorded duel between the Unicorn and the Kshatriya; then later between the Unicorn and the Shamblo during Neo-Zeon's assault at Torrington Base.
** Averted in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamIronBloodedOrphans'', when Masahiro [[HeroicSacrifice pushes Akihiro away from the Gusion Hammer]], they're both fully clothed during their emotional scene.
** It tends to be zig-zagged, however. Given that when Newtypes or their AU counterparts see the souls of the dead, said dead people tend to show up clothed, [[JacobMarleyApparel usually in the outfits they died in]].
** Happens in the ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' "Glory of the Losers" manga, to several characters. (It doesn't happen in the anime series proper, however.)
* The weapon characters from ''Manga/SoulEater'' are shown this way while transformed. It's also occasionally used for being inside souls. Notably, Soul is at first shown fully clothed in weapon form, but starts being depicted nude after [[spoiler:he is scarred]].
* ''Anime/MyOtome'' has Arika meet her Mother this way, [[spoiler:After she is forced to destroy her Mother's body to depower the Valkyries.]]
* An interesting variant takes place in the manga for ''VisualNovel/AoiShiro'', when Yasumi Aizawa is revealed to be the ghost haunting the resort. She can have an out of body experience, sending her soul out of her body. She is not experienced enough, however, to have clothing appear with her. She had to have this pointed out by one of her team-mates in the kendo club wondering why she was naked.
* ''Anime/TenchiMuyo'':
** Takes place when Kagato is trying to pry the secret of Tsunami out of Ayeka's mind.
** As well, there are a few instances of this in the two ''Tenchi Muyo'' manga series, including a scene where a childhood friend of Tenchi's is revealed to be a spirit while her body is dying elsewhere and a scene where an old rival of Washu's invites Sasami to watch Washu in a contest. When they arrive, they're both naked, which takes poor Sasami by surprise.
* ''Manga/ElfenLied'' has a few instances of this where a young Lucy starts to feel the effects of [[BreakTheCutie the relentless abuse she is subjected to by those around her.]]
* ''Anime/SpaceRunawayIdeon''': Be Invoked does this to everyone in its KillEmAll ending.
* ''Manga/KamichamaKarin'' uses this for the {{Transformation Sequence}}s (natch), but only the StockFootage ones.
* ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'' does this with Ichika and Houki.

* This is how Kei meets [[spoiler:her dead older sister's OppositeSexClone Go]] in ''Manga/GetterRobo Armaggedon''. Once this is over, Kei returns to the Getter-2 and goes into a FullFrontalAssault against the enemy.
* In ''Manga/SpaceAdventureCobra'', the sisters Jane and Catherine Royal are seen together, naked in a void, [[spoiler:as they are dying]].

* Subverted in ''Manga/TheKurosagiCorpseDeliveryService'', where Karatsu's soul gets trapped in another dimension. His soul appears fully clothed. However, when one of his friends sends him a mental SOS, her spirit appears to him naked, except still wearing glasses. The end notes point this out as just the power of a {{meganekko}}.
* Subverted in the end of ''Anime/TheTatamiGalaxy''. The [[NoNameGiven main character]] comes to an epiphany, and ends up saving his best friend from a terrible fate while being symbolically naked. [[spoiler:Except--in a change from the visual symbolism used throughout the show--he really ''is'' naked. Partly because NakedPeopleAreFunny.]]

* In ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'', when [[spoiler:Masaki Kurosaki]] was suffering Hollowfication, she finds herself floating naked in a void and threatened by a monstrous Hollow. However, when [[spoiler:Isshin Shiba]] enters her mind/soul to help her, he got to keep his clothes.

* In ''Anime/BlackRockShooter'', when Mato enters Black Rock Shooter's body, she is shown naked inside BRS's mind. Later, Strength becomes naked when she enters the Otherworld to help Mato and Yuu.
* Ultear when she appears in Gray's mind during the Sun Village arc in ''Manga/FairyTail''. Gray himself is for some reason not completely naked in the same sequence but wears boxers.

* In the ''Manga/BlueExorcist'' anime, [[BigBrotherMentor Yukio]] is [[spoiler:possessed by [[ArchnemesisDad Satan]]]] and has a BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind. His mental self is naked except for [[CensorShadow convenient shadows]] on his lower half and, [[FridgeLogic for some reason]], his glasses.
* In the final installement of the truncated ''[[Anime/BubblegumCrisis Bubblegum Crash]]'', Sylia Stingray receives this treatment when [[spoiler:Largo]] tries to assimilate her. One commenter summarized it this way:
-->'''Sylia:''' Ah, of course. The traditional meeting-of-minds mind-game, with hallucinatory dream imagery, et cetera.\\
'''[[spoiler:Largo]]:''' (''magic voice'') You and I are light and shade.\\
'''Sylia:''' I note that I remain clad in my armor, which says something about me, I think.\\
'''[[spoiler:Largo]]:''' Open your heart to me, Sylia.\\
'''Sylia:''' Hmm. And now I am completely naked, which says something about you.\\
'''[[spoiler:Largo]]:''' Does it disturb you?\\
'''Sylia:''' I used to model my own work. Did ''wonders'' for sales.

* Chapter seventy-eight of ''Manga/InsideMari'' features this between [[spoiler:adult Isao, teenage Mari, and toddler Fumiko]] during the course of TheReveal that [[spoiler:both Isao and Mari are alternate personalities of one girl created following her mother forcibly changing her name from "Fumiko" to "Mari" and, in Isao's case, when Mari sought an escape]].

* {{Downplayed}} in ''Anime/NausicaaOfTheValleyOfTheWind:'' one such scene shows Nausicaa's mask and outer garment flying off, but she's still wearing a tank top. It's clearly all in her head though, as she's wearing her full outfit when the scene ends.
* In ''Manga/FireForce,'' Shinra undergoes a sort of MoreThanMindControl DemonicPossession, represented by him and his (female) opponent having a naked BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind. Censorship is provided by a lot of black fire and the villainess floating in some weird, contortionist poses.
* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'':
** The numbness caused by Sosuke's VampiricDraining is [[EditorialSynaesthesia visualized]] by the victim's affected body parts disintegrating. When clothes would obscure this, they'll also be shown naked.
** After Suzu is possessed by [[spoiler:[[EvilDoppelganger jinyo]] Mei]], the following chapter illustration shows both together naked. Suzu is unconscious, has her hands and legs bound by her captors hair, and is being [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty suggestively held]].

* This happens to people who die in ''ComicBook/ChickTracts''.

* Happens several times to the title character of the ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' {{spinoff}} ''Anderson: Psi Division'' when she has to go on some psychic quest, such as in the "Shamballa" storyline.
* Became increasingly common as ''ComicBook/{{Promethea}}'' went on. The penultimate issue, in fact, consists entirely of a nude Promethea rendered in psychedelic patterns [[NoFourthWall talking to the reader]].

* [[MythologyGag Much like in the Japanese localization of]] ''VideoGame/EarthBound,'' ''[[https://m.fanfiction.net/s/9920341/1/ MOTHER - The Novelization]]'' has [[VideoGame/EarthBoundBeginnings Ninten]] experience this for a short while upon first awakening in [[{{Wackyland}} Magicant]].

* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11777845/1/A-Brave-New-World A Brave New World]]'', Harry's astral form is naked when he has an out-of-body experience at age ''four''.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'': At one point in ''Unfinished Business'', Carol ends up in the Green after [[spoiler: [[BalefulPolymorph Nimue turns her into a tree]]]], and finds that she's naked. She's understandably upset about this, but relieved when just thinking about her armor causes it to appear on her.

* Loosely implied in ''Literature/LeftBehind'', as clothes don't get raptured, although ''Revelations'' distributes some robes.

* For reasons that are left unexplained, traveling into the underworld in the ''Literature/SwordOfTruth'' series needs to be done naked. Richard, at least, is somewhat exasperated by this fact, at one point asking something to the tune of, "Look is this ''really'' necessary?" Other characters are either [[NakedPeopleAreFunny amused]] or [[FemaleGaze enjoying the opportunity]].

* In the first ''Literature/{{Everworld}}'' book, [[HeroicWannabe David]] and the others get sucked into Everworld fully-clothed and have clothes when they get there, but he describes the period between the worlds as floating naked in [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds complete darkness]], aware of some supernatural entity watching him and poking in his memories (which include [[spoiler:being molested as a child]], so the nudity sort of adds subtext there).
** Also kind of {{Inverted}}: the first time that David's mind snaps back to his "[[UpTheRealRabbitHole real world]]" body long enough for him to do anything, he happens to be in bed with "[[SleepsInTheNude nothing on]]." [[PoliticallyIncorrectHero Christopher]] (in book 11) and [[TheSmurfettePrinciple April]] (in book 3) also transfer back when they happen to be in the shower.
* In ''Literature/DeepSecret,'' three characters are traveling through a trippy alternate dimension. At one point, Nick feels a thorn cut his stomach and suddenly realizes that all of their clothes have disappeared; this sucks even more since it's freezing and the ground is rather rough. A short while later they find trees filled with any clothes that they've ever given away in the past, and dress in those. Rob, whose spartan upbringing meant wearing things until they're unusable, has to improvise something else.
* In ''Literature/JohnCarterOfMars,'' the title character's [[AstralProjection astral form]] is naked when it separates from his body. He can put on clothes when he gets to Barsoom, though. [[{{Stripperific}} "Clothes" meaning a belt to hold his weapons]], since Martians have NoNudityTaboo.

* In ''Series/LegendOfTheSeeker'', whenever people die, they wake up in the underworld naked.

* This surprisingly occurs during ''VisualNovel/SteinsGateZero'', when Okabe is performing a time leap that sends him to the year 2036, he experiences a vision with all of his friends. Suddenly he finds himself alone and naked for whatever reason, then he's back with everyone, and with clothes this time.

* In ''VideoGame/LegendOfDragoon'', when undergoing a Dragoon transformation, Shana's and Miranda's clothes explode into a cloud of feathers before her Dragoon armor replaces them, leaving her nude for several seconds. Her form is cleverly concealed by light and shadows, however.
* During the climax of ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork5'' [[spoiler: in order to stop [=NebulaGray=], [=MegaMan=] briefly links his soul with Lan in order to become Hub and use his power to weaken the enemy. In this form he is noticeably naked, though a combination of BarbieDollAnatomy and PowerGlows prevents him from flashing the player]].

* Heavily [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in ''Webcomic/{{Girly}}'': When Winter ends up in a place like this, she immediately wonders why she's naked and where her naughty bits went.
* In ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', Ellen [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-05-08 experiences]] this while floating in a [[BlankWhiteVoid featureless void]] at the end of the memories inserted into her dreams.

* ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'' occasionally shows a brief glimpse of [[KilledOffForReal deceased characters]] in Hell, where everyone seems to be naked. {{Averted}} from what we see of Heaven.

%%* In ''Webcomic/DoesNotPlayWellWithOthers'', this happens to Naga after a fridge lands on her.
* In ''Webcomic/MobPsycho100'', Mob appears without his clothes after sending his soul inside Minori's to save her. He does get them back after Keiji traps him in his LotusEaterMachine.

** The really offensive example are ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Gundam SEED]]'' and ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEEDDestiny Gundam Seed Destiny]]'', where naked people are shown unnecessary too often during emotional scenes. The classic UC timeline (one word: Newtypes) has some, but not so much.

* In ''Manga/MobPsycho100'', Mob appears without his clothes after sending his soul inside Minori's to save her. He does get them back after Keiji traps him in his LotusEaterMachine.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'', the spiritual exchange between Kate and her dead sister (who was possessing her up to that point) has [[http://www.misfile.com/misfile/2005-11-30 them both naked]]. It was a genuinely touching moment of redemption on both sides, and all we could think of was "boob squish!" Sigh.

* [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2006-05-08 Nioi's visit to Ellen]] in ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''.
* Happens fairly regularly in ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan''.

* [[http://twokinds.comicgenesis.com/d/20050418.html Some strips]] near the climax of the "Ephemural" arc of ''Webcomic/TwoKinds''. Trace's mind/soul looks ''really'' young in there, which is probably due to his amnesia...
* In the old ''Webcomic/LeveL'', Cael spends the vast majority of chapter five [[http://www.levelmanga.com/level.php?episode=5&page=12&large=true&cover=false in this state.]]
* ''Webcomic/YuMeDream'' -- [[http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1001 "Stupid symbolic nudity!"]]

* In ''Webcomic/DoesNotPlayWellWithOthers'', this happens to Naga after a fridge lands on her.

* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': The numbness caused by Sosuke's VampiricDraining is [[EditorialSynaesthesia visualized]] by the victim's affected body parts disintegrating. When clothes would obscure this, they'll also be shown naked.

* ''LightNovel/InfiniteStratos'' does this with Ichika and Houki. This by itself wouldn't be so bad, unless you watched ''Gundam Unicorn'', and [[ActorAllusion can draw parallels to Ichika and Banagher.]]

* In ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'', in Moka's mindscape, the personality that is not controlling her body is naked.

* Happens in the ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' "Glory of the Losers" manga, to several characters.

* The weapon characters from ''Manga/SoulEater'' are shown this way while transformed. It's also occasionally used for being inside souls. Notably, Soul is at first shown fully clothed in weapon form, but starts being depicted nude after [[spoiler:he is scarred]].
* Happens in the ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'' "Glory of the Losers" manga, to several characters.
