History Main / TooManyBelts

* Haseo from ''[[Franchise/DotHack .hack//GU]]'' has ''[[http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h245/DRCEQ2/Dot%20Hack/52belts.jpg 52]]'' belts spread across his body, making him more belt than outfit. Of course, this is the self-created PlayerCharacter in a MMORPG of a standard Japanese teenage male who wanted it to look "cool", so it might be (relatively) [[JustifiedTrope justified]].

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Haggar Mike Haggar]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' does not seem to understand that belts go around one's waist. He wear but a single belt, its gigantic, and its slung over his chest like a suspender. He even wears pants to accommodate this.

* Jack from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' uses belts to make a bra. [[http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/screen/92374/Mass-Effect-2/ It looks about as comfortable as it sounds]]. Her unlockable and purchasable alternate outfits gives her slightly more normal clothes.

* The Big Sister in ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' wears a suit that possesses no less than [[http://i44.tinypic.com/25ov4ig.png thirteen belts.]]

[[caption-width-right:225:Lulu doesn't just wear belts ''with'' her petticoat. She wears belts '''''as''''' [[PimpedOutDress her petticoat]].]]

* Penance -- the ComicBook/GenerationX character, not [[ComicBook/CivilWar Bleedball]] -- has an outfit made almost entirely of belts. They might be a part of the body itself, given its [[ThePunishment origin.]]

* Haseo from ''[[Franchise/DotHack .hack//GU]]'' has ''[[http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h245/DRCEQ2/Dot%20Hack/52belts.jpg 52]]'' belts spread across his body, making him more belt than outfit. Of course, this is the self-created PlayerCharacter in a MMORPG of a standard Japanese teenage male who wanted it to look "cool", so it might be (relatively) [[JustifiedTrope justified]].
* [[http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t144/EtnaValentine/Disgaea_Etna.jpg Etna]] from ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' is an example. To wit, she has two belts on each boot, one on each arm, and four stitched to her skirt.
* ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'' ''loves'' its belts. Sol Badguy alone has at least 20 on his costume, and his rival, Ky Kiske, has around the same number. Also, every playable character except Justice, Anji and Baiken has at least 3 belts with them.

* The Hero Rosalyn from ''Okage: Shadow King'' has only two belts... but one is on her ''head''.
* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Haggar Mike Haggar]] of ''VideoGame/FinalFight'' does not seem to understand that belts go around one's waist. He wear but a single belt, its gigantic, and its slung over his chest like a suspender. He even wears pants to accommodate this.
* Lloyd from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'' wears two, although it's justified in that he carries two swords . In a truer example, Kratos wears [[http://media.animegalleries.net/albums/userpics/19874/con_kratos.jpg?=123 six]] (and even more in his [[http://i.imgur.com/8G5Vegx.jpg alternate outfit]]).
** In fact, Kratos' alternate outfit has ''so many'' that it became a fandom in-joke that he has [[WhyDontYouMarryIt a belt fetish]]. Since Kratos' belts in that outfit are quite clearly patterned after a basic Japanese bondage harness, that's probably ''canon''.
** Forcystus's undershirt is pretty much just a mass of belts (or belt-like straps, anyway).
* [[http://img200.imageshack.us/img200/2499/ogsaga.png Folka Albark]] from ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsCompact3'' sports a lot of belts, and still does a lot of ass kicking... inside his [[MotionCaptureMecha Kung Fu Mecha]].
** [[MemeticMutation The belts are there to stop his shirt exploding.]]
* The [[ContemptibleCover cover art]] for ''[[http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/fromtheabyss.jpg From The Abyss]]'' has a girl wearing three belts... but no pants.
* Gado from ''VideoGame/BloodyRoar'' wears three belts in the first game.
* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'': Iori Yagami only has one belt...but its placement is what makes it so bizarre. It links together his two pant legs, which would be a concern considering how often he fights. WordOfGod says he does it [[WithMyHandsTied as a personal challenge]].
** After changing outfits for the first time EVER in ''XII'', he now has his legs liberated but wears two belts anyway (a normal one around his waist then a larger one that hangs off his waist).
* The Big Sister in ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' wears a suit that possesses no less than [[http://i44.tinypic.com/25ov4ig.png thirteen belts.]]

* ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaJudgment'' features characters from all across the Castlevania series. Unfortunately, they've all been given makeovers by [[Manga/DeathNote Takeshi Obata]], who decided that Dracula had two columns of golden nipples down his torso, Death was constructed out of discarded orthopedic braces, and the Belmonts were great big fans of belts. Oddly, the redesigned Alucard wears ''fewer'' belt buckles than he used to have.
* Virginia of ''VideoGame/{{Wild ARMs 3}}'' may be wearing [[http://www.rpgfan.com/pics/wildarms3/art-char-04.jpg too many belts]] for a western setting. For that matter, Clive's [[http://www.rpgfan.com/pics/wildarms3/art-char-03.jpg jacket]] pushes overkill with the belts in place nobody would ever want to buckle, and Janus seems to have that problem and also the problem of [[http://www.rpgfan.com/pics/wildarms3/art-char-05.jpg trying to use a belt in place of a holster]].
* Many of the class designs in ''VideoGame/TricksterOnline'', although the [[http://www.mytrickster.net/wiki/index.php/Image:Warrior.jpg Warrior]] and [[http://www.mytrickster.net/wiki/index.php/Image:Thief_Master.jpg Thief Master]] may take the cake.
* ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia'''s lead character Vyse uses belts to hold his sleeves together ([[JustifiedTrope Justified]], as they're detached sleeves). He's also got belts on his cuffs. Combined with the ''necessary'' belt on his waist, that brings him up to five. He also has two belts on his shoes, as does his friend Aika. Aika's evil doppelganger, Anita, has extra belts, one on each shoe and one on her thigh. Interestingly, Vyze's doppelganger Vize has ''less'' belts.
* Hwoarang from Tekken games wears a lot of belts on his trouser legs in the primary outfit.
* As a general rule, quarians in the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' series are fond of belts.
* Jack from ''VideoGame/MassEffect2'' uses belts to make a bra. [[http://screenshots.teamxbox.com/screen/92374/Mass-Effect-2/ It looks about as comfortable as it sounds]]. Her unlockable and purchasable alternate outfits gives her slightly more normal clothes.
* The asari from ''VideoGame/MassEffect3'''s multiplayer feature this, with several belts wrapped around their torsos (though ironically they don't have one around their waists) and belt-like straps running up and down their arms and legs.

* While the characters in ''VideoGame/SpellForce'' generally don't do this, the woman on the loading screen is wearing several belts on her Stripperiffic battle bikini. Including a belt that could only be holding up ''her bikini bottom''.
* ''VideoGame/TrinityUniverse'''s Recit invokes this, wearing several including one as a headband. His character trait does seem to be collecting things though.

* The Prince from ''Franchise/PrinceOfPersia'' seems to have picked up [[http://www.gogaminggiant.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/wallpaper_prince_of_persia_warrior_within_10_1600.jpg quite a few belts]] between ''[[VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaTheSandsOfTime Sands of Time]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/PrinceOfPersiaWarriorWithin Warrior Within]]''.
* ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'''s NCR Ranger Combat Armor has five, as well as some bandaging/etc. being used to tie down a medical kit, the leather armor (go figure) having 8 for men, and 3 for women.
* The Dawnguard armor from the ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' DLC appears to use belt straps and buckles to secure every possible connection, and then adds a few more just for good measure.
* The Arena Season 11 Warlock armor in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' features at least 6 belts as the sleeves (3 for each arm).
* One of the "Encrusting" recipes introduced in ''VideoGame/DungeonsOfDredmor: Conquest of the Wizardlands'' is "Buckle Up", which involves outfitting a piece of chest or leg armor in excess belts.
-->"All the rage among comely, spiky-haired hero types. Why not cover everything you own in belts?"

* Exaggerated in ''VideoGame/CthulhuSavesTheWorld'' - there is an enemy called Beltman whose outfit is almost entirely made out of belts. He is a ShoutOut to the aforementioned Tetsuya Nomura, of course.
* [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/raynie_7391.png Raynie]], from ''VideoGame/{{RadiantHistoria}}'' wears a belt on her left thigh, on her waist, on her left arm, one holding her boobs, one strapping a turtle-neck, and lastly... a belt tying her ponytail.
* In ''VideoGame/KingdomsOfAmalurReckoning'' Alyn Shir's outfit consists of a black leather bikini top and about ten to fifteen belts around her midsection and upper left arm and leg.
* Cammy White as she appears in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' has gained a set of pistol holsters over her traditional LeotardOfPower. The outfit itself is based on her appearance in spinoff game ''VideoGame/CannonSpike'' for the Sega UsefulNotes/DreamCast, minus the rollerblades and sub-machine guns.

* ''VideoGame/CodeVein'': In the character creation screen, there is an entire section just for belts. You can add a ''lot'' of them, absolutely everywhere. Most of the NPC designs avert this, however.

* In Fanfic/EbonyDarknessDementiaRavenWayVsCanon Willow in her first appearance "her many belts were all different shades of orange, varying from the color of Ginny's freckles to that of the sunset."

* From ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', Jack Sparrow, Barbossa, and Elizabeth as she gets more badass.
* Film/EdwardScissorhands and pretty much ''everything else'' in his maker's cookie factory.

* ''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'': The Cenobites often employ this trope for their outfits in every installment of the franchise (comics, etc.) save for the original novel, ''Literature/TheHellboundHeart.''

* In the mid 70s a reader of ''Magazine/TVGuide'' noticed that a cover illustration [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/6f/3f/ce/6f3fcee52ea4488a407b03dd22ca912e.jpg]] of Buddy Ebsen as ''Series/BarnabyJones'' had the detective (one would think mistakenly) drawn with both a belt and suspenders. As they wrote in a letter to the editor pointing out the error - 'How can I trust this man to catch a crook if he can't even trust his suspenders to keep his pants up?'

* ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'': Cameron likes her belts and her [[EverythingsBetterWithZippers zippers]] -- not to mention [[HellBentForLeather leather]].

* ''Franchise/KamenRider'''s TransformationTrinkets are almost always belts, which are worn ''over top'' of the ones they use to keep their pants up (and anything else that may hang down there, including jackets, vests, and ties - can't have anything obscuring those [[MerchandiseDriven expensive new toys they're selling!]])

* Much like the page image where she wore belts ''as'' her dress, one season of ''Series/ProjectRunway'' had a challenge where the contestants had to make a dress out of car parts. One designer made a dress out of nothing but seat belts.

* Music/DoctorSteel has a three-belted garment that he wears atop his waistcoat, in his {{Steampunk}} attire.

* Dirty Sanchez in "F__king on the Dancefloor": "You're wearing too many belts, and I bet they leave welts".
* There's a reason why Mathias 'Warlord' Nygård is known by some Turisas fans as 'Beltlord'.

* All of the members of Music/{{D}} in their video for "Tightrope" wear quite a few useless belts, but Asagi stands out by wearing more than the other four members ''combined''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PgBfrGq7DM#t=00m17s That's a lot of belts.]] (Thirty-six, to be exact.)

* Lampshaded [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_549.php here]] in ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures''. "When you have to take off seventeen belts to tinkle..."
* [[http://chugworth.com/archive/?strip_id=286 This MMRPG character]] in Chugworth Academy.

* Favored by [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2004-12-08 Diane and her posse]] in Webcomic/ElGoonishShive.
* [[http://samandfuzzy.com/464 This]] outfit of Candice's from ''Webcomic/SamAndFuzzy''.
* [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20081119 Von Pinn]] from ''Webcomic/GirlGenius''. [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040503 She teaches restraint.]]
* Naal'suul Val'Beldrobbaen of Webcomic/{{Drowtales}} likes belts. They help her feel secure against inner demons, and ends up as a complete demon under the belts and close enough to normal above it... so it's not just a good luck charm thingy...

* In ''Webcomic/EarsForElves'', Tanna's [[http://www.earsforelves.com/archives/459 concept art]] has two functional belts and three decorative ones, along with numerous other buckles on her boots.

* [[ChivalrousPervert Cross Marian]] of ''Manga/DGrayMan''. Have you seen that man's [[http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/silverfang2/29185537/600903/600903_original.png pants ]]?
* Under his overcoat, ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'''s Vash the Stampede's outfit is 100% belts. There actually might be a decent reason for it though, considering how torn up Vash tends to get in fights, if it helps keep wounds closed...
* Yugi from ''Franchise/YuGiOh'' wears a multi-belted shirt during Duelist Kingdom. After that arc, he changes to a black sleeveless shirt, but he keeps the two belts around the cuffs of his jacket and the one around his neck, while adding another belt around his waist. Kaiba dons eight belts, two on each of his arms and legs, from the second season on, in addition to the normal belt on his pants.
** The [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Abridged Series]] lampshades this, when Yugi (and, unwillingly, the Pharaoh) is getting ready for a date with Téa.
-->'''Yugi''': I have a feeling today is going to be super-special-awesome. Now, if I could just find the right outfit.
-->'''Yami''': Yugi, you look like a bondage slave.
-->'''Yugi''': Perfect! Girls love bondage slaves. *''beat''* Don't they?

* Maka from ''Manga/SoulEater'' wears belts quite often. On her shoes.
** Noah also has plenty of belts.
** A boss from the ''Soul Eater'' video game ''Monotone Princess''[[note]]If you haven't heard of it, it's because it falls under NoExportForYou, unfortunately[[/note]] wears belts on his face ''and'' his hair.
* Hiei of ''Manga/YuYuHakusho'' has four thin white belts underneath his cloak on his standard outfit. Not as many as some others, but just enough to let you know he's a NobleDemon badass. He later stopped doing this, probably because it took an hour to go to the bathroom.
* Compared to others, the [[{{Stripperiffic}} Barrier Jacket]] of ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'''s Fate didn't have too many belts when she was a kid. After all, it only had one red belt slung on her hips, another two around her chest, another one on her arm, and another one around her neck. The first Reinforce, on the other hand, had red belts all over her legs and one arm.
* Mizore in ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'' has a couple of garter belts which connect her waist to...nothing whatsoever.

* Golden Darkness from ''Manga/ToLoveRu'' has five belts wrapped around each leg (including one pair hidden by her boots), and another pair of belts wrapped around each ''foot'', that do not seem to serve any actual purpose beyond... well, [[ShesGotLegs making you stare at her legs]]. She also has a belt at each sleeve, and two more on her abdomen for good measure.

* Kurei wears quite a few in ''Manga/FlameOfRecca''.

* Yuuta of ''LightNovel/LoveChunibyoAndOtherDelusions'' wears seven belts in his [[OldShame "Dark Flame Master" persona]] besides a normal one — three around each leg, and one on his collar.
* Alucard from ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' wears a costume actually ''made of'' thin black belts that unbuttons when he flexes. He hides it under his [[BadassLongcoat Longcoat]], and overall his outfit greatly resembles [[Manga/{{Trigun}} Vash's]]. His creator KoutaHirano is actually a RealLife friend of Trigun's author Creator/YasuhiroNightow, and they apparently aren't averse to sharing an idea or two.
* ''Manga/{{Drifters}}'': Hirano's next manga doesn't [[IncrediblyLamePun drift]] much away from the style — [[{{Antihero}} Toyohisa Shimazu's]] outfit similarly adds a lot of gratuitous belts to historically red Shimazu armor, and other characters (Octobrists are probably the most guilty here) also love themselves a couple of belts in a strategic place.
* ''Manga/MusukoGaKawaikuteShikataganaiMazokuNoHahaoya'': In chapter 11, Lorem finds an old outfit of hers with three belts on it. One at the waist, and one each above and below the bust. The description for the outfit even says "unnecessary belt" for the topmost belt.

* ComicBook/{{Superboy}} used to love belts. He wore a couple of them over his skin-tight one-piece outfit. They didn't hold anything up, they didn't even have pouches on them. They were just there because otherwise the outfit wouldn't be belty enough. He also had a belt round one leg, for some reason. Considering his characterization in those early days, he probably just thought they looked cool.
* A hallucination sequence in ''ComicBook/XMen'' had Cyclops wearing a variant of his '90s costume. Only with ''even more'' belts than it had originally -- tons, most of them with X-symbols attached somewhere. Oh, and a tutu.

* In a couple scenes in ''ComicBook/BatmanTheDarkKnightReturns'' Batman wears an additional utility belt around one leg. It's never used and its purpose is never explained.
* Similar to the DKR example above, when [[ComicBook/{{Azrael}} Jean-Paul Valley]] took over as Batman, his original [=AzBats=] uniform had an additional utility belt on his leg. He dumps it with his first costume redesign. Again, no purpse to them.
* Stephanie Brown's [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 Batgirl]] costume ''also'' had a leg-mounted utility belt.

** When Circe returns to being Crice her outfit includes a belt around her waist and two belts around her upper thighs one of which has a pouch on it.

* In ''Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning'' Alyn Shir's outfit consists of a black leather bikini top and about six to ten belts around her midsection and upper left leg.

* [[Manga/{{Drifters}} Hirano's next manga]] doesn't [[IncrediblyLamePun drift]] much away from the style — [[{{Antihero}} Toyohisa Shimazu's]] outfit similarly adds a lot of gratuitous belts to historically red Shimazu armor, and other characters (Octobrists are probably the most guilty here) also love themselves a couple of belts in a strategic place.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': When Circe returns to being Crice her outfit includes a belt around her waist and two belts around her upper thighs one of which has a pouch on it.

* Red Robin, at least post the New 52 relaunch wears a lot of belts.

* DC's The Huntress has a lot of belts.

This also goes well for [[{{Zipperiffic}} zippers]] - zippers on your shirt, on your sleeves, on your pants, on your coat, on your ''[[Franchise/KingdomHearts hat]]''...

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]

* ''ComicBook/XWingSeries'': Thin, brightly-colored loop belts are a staple of Adumari fashion, along with ''more'', sturdier belts to hold their knives, blasters, and blastswords.
* In the mid 70s a reader of Magazine/TVGuide noticed that a cover illustration [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/6f/3f/ce/6f3fcee52ea4488a407b03dd22ca912e.jpg]] of Buddy Ebsen as ''Series/BarnabyJones'' had the detective (one would think mistakenly) drawn with both a belt and suspenders. As they wrote in a letter to the editor pointing out the error - 'How can I trust this man to catch a crook if he can't even trust his suspenders to keep his pants up?'

[[folder:Web Comics]]

* Parodied in VideoGame/CthulhuSavesTheWorld - there is an enemy called Beltman who is seemingly entirely made out of belts.

* Wrestling/MikeQuackenbush got to walk around this way in 2004, actively defending six belts from the USA, Mexico and Germany.

* Wrestling/SamoaJoe "only" had three, but he was the first wrestler in Wrestling/{{TNA}} to hold more than one title belt at once. He'd go on to be overshadowed by Wrestling/KurtAngle, who not only held a greater number but also took all of Joe's titles.

->''Ladies, I hope you're wearin' two belts, 'cause I just charmed the pants off y'all!''

* Comicbook/GhostRider2099's outfith under his leather jacket was a criss-cross [[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix3/ghostrider20997.jpg of belts]].

* Rabbit, the clockwork robot of Music/SteamPoweredGiraffe, wears at least three visible belts. And as briefly seen in one of their music videos, there's more where those came from.
* All of the members of Music/{{D}} in their video for "Tightrope" wear quite a few useless belts, but Asagi stands out by wearing more than the other four members ''combined''. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PgBfrGq7DM#t=00m17s That's a lot of belts.]] (Thirty-six, to be exact.)

** Especially the Player's Handbook example Sorcerer, Hennet. [[http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/ph35_gallery/PHB35_PG51_WEB.jpg His clothing appears to be nothing but leather belts.]]
*** It's mentioned in passing that he likes to be able to change it around; sorcerers tend to be on [[ChaoticGood the]] [[ChaoticNeutral chaotic]] [[ChaoticEvil axis]].
*** Also it can be an optimization trick to have a character that wears several of the magic item called the belt of battle to get extra actions, which avoids the usual magic item restrictions by being a charged item.
* ''{{TabletopGame/Pathfinder}}'' has one horrific example with [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse Apollyon]]. The reason his entire body's covered in belts is because ''it's the only thing keeping his rotting skin attached to his body.''

* An episode of WebAnimation/DeathBattle featuring [[VideoGame/GuiltyGear Sol Badguy]] and [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Ragna the Bloodedge]] lampshaded this twice: first in the beginning, and later with Boomstick's theory about the winner.
-->'''Wiz:''' No "anime tough guy" trope is complete unless he has outrageous spiky hair, a sword that's clearly compensating for something...
-->'''Boomstick:''' And belts. Lots and lots of belts.

-->'''Boomstick:'''(about the winner) [[spoiler:Likely due to the fact that while Ragna had four belts, Sol had '''eighteen'''.]]

* Inspired by the Stephanie Brown example above, the new Batsuit worn by [[spoiler: Melanie Walker]] as Batgirl in the final two chapters of the Batman Beyond fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10676847/16/BATMAN-BEYOND-The-Second-Rebirth "The Second Rebirth"]]'' incorporates a leg-mounted utility belt. Its purpose is mentioned during the Chp25 fight against the Royal Flush Gang.

* Parodied in ''Webcomic/CommanderKitty'', where CK ended up with an unwanted, [[Creator/RobLiefeld Liefeldian]] [[http://www.commanderkitty.com/2012/08/15/nin-wahs-agenda/ makeover]] that included, among other things, ''two'' {{Utility Belts}} in addition to a shoulder strap.

* Occasionally seen in certain Music/AlternativeRock subgenres such as Music/{{Industrial}} as a fashion statement with multiple belts worn looped around the chest.

* Wrestling/SarahStock has set of ring gear that has five superfluous belts. Sometimes TagTeam partner [[Wrestling/TaylorWilde Shantelle Taylor]] has a set that ''requires'' five belts to keep up and has two more around her boots just for show. Taylor also has variations that use buttons and such instead of belts.

* The [[ContemptibleCover cover art]] for ''[[http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/fromtheabyss.jpg From The Abyss]]'' has a girl wearing three belts... [[FetishFuel but no pants]].
