History Main / ShowingOffTheNewBody

* In the last ''Anime/RanmaOneHalf'' OAV, a vengeful doll spirit swaps bodies with Akane and then tries to seduce/kill Ranma.

* Sistah Spooky from ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' did this after getting the perfect body from a DealWithTheDevil.
* In ''ComicBook/LesLegendaires'', [[GodOfEvil Anathos]] was planning to reincarnate in female, elven protagonist [[ApocalypseMaiden Shimy]] as a way to come back on Earth. After he fails to this [[spoiler:and is forced to reincarnate in [[TheHero Danael]] instead]], he makes a hint toward this trope when [[spoiler:[[EyeScream burning Shimy's eyes]]]]:

* An issue of ''ComicBook/SpiderGirl'', complete with mirror.

* In the ''ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica'' series from the early 1990s, the Ultra-Humanite was showing off his new body when he captured them and Wally West (Franchise/TheFlash).

* A male version of this is played indulgently in the episode "King's Crown", from the anthology Show ''Metal Hurlant Chronicles'', which is adapted from a story from Heavy Metal Comics: in a certain land, [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership a tournament is held every so often to choose the strongest man to be the new king]]. Entrants must be vital and free of diseases. Every winner becomes a cruel tyrant, but the hero of the story (called weak and frail all his life) wants to become ruler and end the reign of evil. He wins and is carried to the castle. He needlessly gets shirtless for his coronation, showing off his extremely muscular body. The moment he sits the throne he's bound, his skull is cut open by robot surgeons, his brain is crudely removed over his screaming protests, and the brain of the previous king is transplanted from his freshly-dead, used up, obese corpse. The previous king wakes up in the new body and is immediately satisfied with it, saying it is a “good fit” and hopes it’s going to have “more mileage” while feeling up the muscular chest and the six pack abs and flexing his muscles. A few young slave girls are then brought to him and he walks to them saying it’s time to “put his new body to use”, obviously intent on spending his reign having sex.

The result of combining GrandTheftMe with EvilIsSexy. Any villain who possesses the body of the heroine (or of any woman, really) is contractually required to spend time posing in front of mirrors, wearing [[{{Stripperiffic}} scanty clothing]], and sometimes even [[ManIFeelLikeAWoman groping herself]]. This often occurs when the villain in question is herself female and has been without a normal body — or at least an attractive one — for an extended period of time.

Naturally, this is an opportunity for rampant {{Fanservice}}, to an even greater extent than the standard form of EvilIsSexy.

* In ''FanFic/FragmentsOfChaldea'', [[VisualNovel/FateStayNight Servants]] can absorb weapons and powers belonging to [[AlternateSelf alternate selves]] by consuming their memory essences, the result of summoning the same Servant in different Classes or incarnations. Altria eventually gets the memory essence of the Lion King, her Lancer-class incarnation, and gains the ability to switch to her older, [[BoobsOfSteel more developed body]] in the package. [[ACupAngst Altria Alter]] is furious when she sees this, blaming Merlin.

* Seen above: ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'' has [[spoiler:the Other]] doing this to Agatha, starting around [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060123 here]] and continuing intermittently through the end of Volume 6. (Consider that this is a [[spoiler:mother [-*ahem*-] appreciating her ''daughter's'' body]] and [[BrainBleach wince]]. Judging from his expression, Tarvek agrees.)

->''Ahh...it's been so long since I've had a body. Eat your hearts out, ladies!''

* [[spoiler:Dante]] in [[Anime/FullmetalAlchemist the 2003 anime version]] of ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' attempts to seduce her ex, [[spoiler: Hohenheim]], in this manner, [[spoiler: after taking over the body of Lyra, her beautiful maid and student]]. And when that doesn't work, she turns to [[spoiler:his son Edward]]. Or rather, she tried to [[spoiler:preemptively seduce him by making him fall in love with Rose, the girl whose body she was planning on stealing next.]]

* Played for laughs in ''Manga/OnePiece'' when [[{{HumanShifter}} Bon Clay]] transforms into Nami and flashes Luffy, Usopp and Chopper. Nami was not amused. It happens again to her when she [[spoiler: and [[LovableSexManiac Sanji]] [[FreakyFridayFlip switch bodies]]. [[HilarityEnsues Sanji takes great enjoyment of this]].]]

* Quite an entertaining scene in a ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' episode "[[Recap/FarscapeS02E09OutOfTheirMinds Out Of Their Minds]]", in which all the main characters switch bodies, and John in Aeryn's body starts examining it rather closely. Of course, Aeryn in someone else's body walks in. He tries to excuse himself by saying "I'm a guy!", and Aeryn threatens to break his legs (never mind that they're hers) if he checks out anything else. The really funny part comes at the end of the episode where, when John apologizes, Aeryn implies she, too, experimented. [[ADateWithRosiePalms In a rather hands-on manner]].

* There's a G-rated version in ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'' when Tahrust Inmee is channeled by Maya; the bald Tahrust clearly enjoys playing with Maya's long hair.

* ''Film/AllCheerleadersDie'': When [[spoiler:Hannah]] finds herself in [[spoiler:Martha]]'s body, it isn't long before she starts flaunting her form in a way that the conservative [[spoiler:Martha]] never did.

** A more traditional example occurs in [[Recap/SmallvilleS04E08Spell Spell]] when a gang of ancient evil witches [[DemonicPossession possess]] the three lead females. The reaction of the witch who gets Lois is ''very'' positive.
--> '''Lois!Brianna:''' I'm ''[[DistractedByMyOwnSexy gorgeous]]'', look at [[BuxomIsBetter these!]]\\

* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'': In "[[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E16WhoAreYou Who Are You?]], after body-swapping with Buffy, one of the first things Faith does is take a [[BathtubScene long bath]] just to check out her "new home", including doing a BathKick while groping her leg. Later on, she also acts flirtatious toward any male in sight. (Not that she didn't do similar things in her old body.) In the original script, it's implied she's actually fondling herself underwater.

Compare ManIFeelLikeAWoman. This overlaps with PowerPerversionPotential. Contrast ShapeshiftingSeducer. Subtrope of LimbSensationFascination.
