Bob the Strong is going to be in a major fight, like with The Dragon or the Big Bad, or just with a huge amount of Mooks. As he approaches the enemy, he— Wait, he's taking off his shirt? Battle Strip is when a character, especially one who is modest, either has a Stripperific battle uniform (for the gals), or doesn't wear a shirt in a fight (for the guys). The main reason is that clothing could restrict movement/attacks, or it's also a sign of badass. It also gives the opponent fewer things to grab and pin the fighter down with. However, sometimes it's just plain Fanservice. Related to The Coats Are Off (when a character takes off his coat before joining battle), Shed Armor, Gain Speed, The Glasses Come Off (a Badass Bookworm removing his glasses before fighting), Action Dress Rip, and Full-Frontal Assault. Can overlap with Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing if the clothes must be removed before transforming, or are destroyed by it . Not to be confused with Clothing Damage, when the character's clothing gets destroyed during a battle, or Giving Them the Strip, when clothing is torn or discarded to escape being grappled and avoid a battle. |

Bleach: When the leader and former leader of Soul Society's stealth specialist squad fight, it just so happens that their most powerful moves blast off any clothing on their shoulder blades. Did we mention they were both extremely attractive female ninja (ghost samurai, and one is also a Cat Girl)? The trope is also averted, as it's also revealed that their particular squad wears sleeveless inner clothes (at the direction of the former leader, realizing the technique would do this), so even at their most powerful, they're still decent. Yamamoto is an even better example. Though, Yamamoto's sword has a tendency to set everything around it on fire, so this might be justified, as it would be somewhat hard to fight when Yamamoto himself is on fire. Though mainly it's just to show off how surprisingly ripped the old man is. Tier Harribel removes her jacket before activating her Resurrecion. |

The princesses in Shrek the Third actually tear off parts of their dresses before taking down Prince Charming's henchmen. In their case, it's more justified than usual, in that their dresses are slightly restrictive, and they need the freedom of movement in a fight. | |

Like a Dragon: Every time a major fight is about to take place, you can count on Kazuma, his opponent, or really any yakuza in general to fling off their shirt. Probably to show off their awesome tattoos. It happens so often and implausibly that Yakuza 6 all but parodies it when Kiryu goes spearfishing. Despite potentially wearing a red tucked-in polo shirt whose top button is undone and his neck visible, he's somehow able to fling the shirt off in one motion and reveal a skin-tight diving suit that stops just below his chin! |

Naruto: The Raikage whips off his long coat in battle. Not that it covers a lot in the first place... It is also somewhat memetic that all male members of Akatsuki tended to lose their cloaks before their deaths, either by voluntary removal or regular Clothing Damage. Kimimaro removed his top when he started actually fighting. Justified in that clothes would only get in the way of his bone-based powers. |

RWBY Seeing that Shay D. Mann is setting her up for an obvious ambush, Yang takes the time to remove her leather cuffs and tails from her outfit to prepare for the tussle. During Ghira Belladonna's first fight, he throws off his blue long coat and extends his Wolverine Claws to fight to his fullest. Hazel tears his jacket apart with his hands to free up his arms so that he can stab raw dust crystals into himself, pumping himself up for a fight against Ozpin/Oscar. Hazel removes his entire shirt just before his fight against Salem to free up even more space for dust crystals to fight at his strongest. |

Fist of the North Star: It is kind of hard to ignore the fact how just about every time Kenshiro goes into Rage mode (usually for emotional reasons), his touki incinerates his shirt. This similarly applies to major villains in battle against them. Kinda makes you wonder how their Clothing magically reappears at a later time, considering the post-apocalyptic nature of their world. The only thing in fact to change as such are Kaioh's or Raoh's helmets. Raoh tends to remove his cape when fighting, and one or more of his shoulder pads usually burst off his shoulders when the pressure points in them are activated. Juza does this in the "normal" way, breaking his shoulder pauldrons and ripping off his clothes with his own hands before his rematch with Raoh. Turns out this was justified as [[spoiler:he had oiled up his upper body's skin to slip thru Raoh's hands and get close to him, all in preparation for Juza's own secret techniquYuji. |

In Cerberon, Aladavan removes his coat and shirt before his Duel to the Death, not to impress or intimidate anyone, but simply to avoid having his clothing soiled or damaged during the fight. It was a wise move, considering his opponent runs him through with an Absurdly Sharp Blade. He gets better, of course. | |

Dragon Ball: The series mostly uses Clothing Damage as an excuse to get its male leads naked, but there are occasions where the heroes take off their clothes before battle. One such occasion is the fight with Raditz at the beginning of Dragon Ball Z, where both Goku and Piccolo were wearing weighted clothes, and stripping increased their power levels. In the manga, Tenshinhan also always removes his shirt before battle and eventually stops wearing a shirt altogether. |

Necromancers in Death Vigil have a tendency to take off their shirts when using their powers. Allistor's dialogue suggests it's a matter of comfort, in that their sigils tend to itch when in use, so removing their shirts help alleviate it. It doesn't stop Sam from complaining every time a Necromancer strips down around him. | |

Resident Evil 5: Wesker's shirt (well, the top half of his combat uniform, anyway) disappears before the final battle. It's not quite clear whether he took it off deliberately, or if it's more of a villainous example of Final Battle-Induced Shirt Loss: he was falling from a plane, so it's understandable that his Badass Longcoat could have just fallen off, but exactly where the shirt went is never explained. | |

The latter is absolutely flabbergasted to realize he was wearing a breakaway business suit just for such an occasion, and immediately categorizes him as a big douchebag. Another character with breakaway clothing is Ray Cosmos, the sleazy alien tour guide. However, in his case it's more justified, in that him preparing for a fight involves Hulking Out, so his shirt wouldn't survive anyway. |

It happens so often and implausibly that Yakuza 6 all but parodies it when Kiryu goes spearfishing. Despite potentially wearing a red tucked-in polo shirt whose top button is undone and his neck visible, he's somehow able to fling the shirt off in one motion and reveal a skin-tight diving suit that stops just below his chin! | |

In the finale of Gunbuster, Noriko rips open a part of her uniform so that, by using the Gunbuster's motion tracing control mechanism, she can rip open the chest armor on the mecha and remove its Applied Phlebotinum, fully exposing her left breast in the process. Notably, when she's shown again a few minutes later, a scrap of fabric now covers her breast. Diebuster pays homage to the scene twice. In the first episode, the chest of Nono's waitress uniform gets stuck on a Space Monster's spiky hide as it flies up into space, so she grabs it and tears it right off, leaving her breasts hanging out in the open for the rest of the battle and giving poor Lal'C quite a shock. Then in the last episode, Lal'C gets in on the action as well and, exactly like Noriko, rips her uniform's top to open Dix-Neuf's chest cavity for inserting the aforementioned Applied Phlebotinum. Notably, Lal'C gets the benefit of Barbie Doll Anatomy unlike the others, who were both fully drawn. |

In one Knights of the Dinner Table storyline, one of the guys runs Sara's character in her absence. When Brian points out that shedding encumbrance increases her chance to gain initiative, they take this to the logical conclusion and have the character charge into battle naked carrying nothing but a weapon. This works for a while but eventually gets her killed. Sara is not amused when she finds out. | |

Characters in Crusader Kings III always wear nothing from the waist up while fighting sword duels, regardless of whether the characters are male or female. This is actually an example of the developers Showing Their Work as many historical people really did duel this way. While duels weren't necessarily intended to be fought to the death, before modern medicine a piece of clothing shoved into a duelist's flesh by their enemy's blade would mean near-certain death by infection. | |

Modesty Blaise does this a lot in her novels, going topless to duel the fencer Wenczel in A Taste for Death, and facing the lethal Mr. Sexton not only completely naked but also greased up in The Silver Mistress. She also practices a move she calls The Nailer, where she gains extra time when she has to go through a door into a room full of thugs by walking in topless, guaranteeing that she gets the first move while most or all of the thugs are still looking at her chest. Yeah, despite the name, Modesty Blaise is pretty much made of Fanservice. | |

Metal Gear Solid: In Metal Gear Solid 4 Sons Of The Patriots, Liquid Ocelot removes his coat before fighting Snake, and fights him shirtless. This could be considered part of his 'Liquid Snake' charade as the latter was shirtless in the final battles of Metal Gear Solid while Ocelot himself was always conservatively dressed. In Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, The Boss unzips the front of her sneaking suit to show Naked Snake her scar before the final battle. Inexplicably, she leaves the suit unzipped for the battle and then the rest of the game. In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Raiden escorts the Prime Minister of an African country while wearing a business suit. When Desperado mercs arrive to abduct the Prime Minister, Raiden shucks off the suit, revealing his Cyber Ninja body underneath. |

Done quite ridiculously in Future War, where the Runaway somehow peels off his fully buttoned and tucked dress shirt in about half a second in the middle of the final fight. Well, not quite that he peels it off; it looks more like the shirt just accidentally fell off somehow. | |

New Grappler Baki: Before a fight with Speck, Hanayama Kaoru calmly removes his shoes, grabs the hems of his pants legs, pulls up, and tears off his entire suit. He proceeds to fight wearing only a Fundoshi. Don't forget Doppo's fight with Dorian, where the two men first face off in suits. While the latter discards his jacket, tie, and shirt to fight bare-chested, the former strips down to a pair of trunks. |

Super Sentai / Power Rangers: In America, we've had Leo and Cole showing off their well-sculpted physique for big fights, ripping their shirts off for extra appeal. Interestingly, both are Red Rangers with a lion motif. Leo's case is particularly gratuitous, as he morphs about five seconds later. Moreover, when the opening gets revamped, the "Danny Slavin as Leo" bit goes from him fighting Stingwingers in the premiere to the famous dramatic shirt rip, so you got to see it every week! (Interestingly, the opening was revamped with the clip before the episode it came from aired.) Doggie Kruger of Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger twists this trope. When he transforms, his coat vanishes thus making him shirtless, before his Dekamaster suit gives him his ranger uniform. His SPD counterpart Anubis Cruger has him toss out his coat as the ranger suit forms beneath. The former applies this trope more because we actually see a moment where he is shirtless unlike the latter. Speaking of Red Rangers, Daigo Kiryu pulls a spectacular one◊ before fighting against several mooks in the episode he gets his power-up form. He isn't quite as huge as Leo or Cole, but still pretty ripped. |

Fairy Tail: Gray has a habit of stripping to his boxers because his training in ice magic involved running through a blizzard in his underwear. It's very clear that he's intended to lure in an Estrogen Brigade. When he and Lyon (his fellow student) prepare to fight Racer, they strip simultaneously, much to Racer's confusion and Sherry's delight. In the anime version of the Natsu vs. Gajeel fight, they take off their shirts. Played With with Erza. Her magic involves summoning different sets of magical armor for combat, and many of these armors are quite skimpy. However, some of the armors aren't skimpy at all, and her everyday wear armor is on the practical side. |

In the second book of The Cinder Spires, Baron Valesco, an Auroran Warriorborn professional duelist does this during his fights. One possible reason given is to avoid cloth getting into his wounds. Then, the real one is shown. Valesco has won nearly three hundred duels and killed his opponent in each one. He doesn't have a single scar. He's also an Axe-Crazy monster who slowly tortures his first opponent to death under a facade of legality. It's not so much fanservice as a pure threat, a statement that he is invincible in a duel. His second opponent is Albion's premier duelist, Commodore Bayard, who is shorter, older, and not Warriorborn - he's beaten Warriorborn before, but Valesco is a different kind of monster, and he admits to his Best Friend and second for the duel, Captain Grimm, that he can't beat him. Bayard is non-critically poisoned by his girlfriend to keep him out of the fight. Grimm, meanwhile, is not a duelist. He beats Valesco by letting him get in several wounding strikes, presenting his thigh as an easy target, trapping the blade, and Valesco himself, before hacking his head off. | |

After Satsuki sends Honnouji Academy on a "battlefield trip" to conquer the rest of Japan in Kill la Kill, Aikuro decides to retire his teacher disguise and resume his position as officer in La Résistance. More specifically, Splendid Naked Officer of Nudist Beach. His battle attire is exactly what his title would suggest. Both Senketsu and Junketsu combat uniforms become utterly Stripperific when in battle mode. Actually justified, as the protection they give results from augmenting their wearers rather than covering them, and besides, too much skin to uniform contact is dangerous for the wearer and may make them lose control. |

Empire of the Vampire: Justified. Armour is largely useless against even juvenile vampires, who have enough raw strength to twist metal with their grip. Thus, Silversaints employ an "aegis" instead - a set of beautiful, complex tattoos writ with silvered ink, depicting holy images and icons. Such a pattern is difficult to so much as look at for most vampires, and actively burns them should they touch it, whilst also allowing the hunters to enjoy maximum mobility and agility thanks to being unencumbered. | |

Predator: Dutch strips down to some scraps of clothing and a lot of mud for his final fight with the eponymous monster. Billy Sole strips to the waist and then cuts a slash in his own chest with his Bowie knife while waiting to try and delay the Predator for his friends to escape. Sure, the next we see of him is the Predator ripping out his spine and skull as a trophy, but it was still AWESOME. The spiritual successor, Predators duplicates the Shirtless Scene (with some changes) using Royce and Hanzo, as the capstone homage in a movie filled with them. In most movies, if a Predator finds its prey worth it will remove its weapons, armor and mask to fight its opponent fairly. In Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, the Wolf Predator does this in its fight with the Predalien after losing most of his weapon and his self-destruct mechanism has been damaged, knowing that he can no longer leave the planet alive and would rather go out honourably in a different way. |

One such occasion is the fight with Raditz at the beginning of Dragon Ball Z, where both Goku and Piccolo were wearing weighted clothes, and stripping increased their power levels. | |

Pretty much a staple for brand extension-era WWE Superstars since merchandise sales are a big part of the business, with many entering the ring wearing their T-Shirt and other merchandise, which they remove for the match. John Cena is probably the most obvious. Others have standard entrance gear like jackets, robes, etc. that they will remove. | |

Street Fighter: In Street Fighter III, Alex does this before every fight in the style of Hulk Hogan, and Urien makes his suit explode into nothing and leave him wearing nothing but a loincloth. Bison also throws off his cape in his pre-fight animation in Street Fighter II. He fights with his cape on in the Street Fighter Alpha games, however. |

In the Wander over Yonder episode "The Battle Royale," Commander Peepers rips off his shirt so that he can fight Sylvia. The moment calls back Season 1's "The Buddies," which revealed that he's a Top-Heavy Guy under his uniform. | |

Most fights in YuYu Hakusho end with at least one fighter shirtless, but Kuwabara is the most likely to remove his shirt before the fight begins, rather than have it shredded mid-fight as many others prefer. | |

Parodied in the Spongebob Squarepants episode "The Fry Cook Games". For the final contest, Bun Wrestling, Spongebob rips off his bathrobe to reveal he's wearing a Speedo. Patrick rips off his to reveal... a business suit. He rips that off that to reveal his Speedo. In "Karate Island" both Sandy and Master Udon tear apart their clothing before fighting each other. |

Diebuster pays homage to the scene twice. In the first episode, the chest of Nono's waitress uniform gets stuck on a Space Monster's spiky hide as it flies up into space, so she grabs it and tears it right off, leaving her breasts hanging out in the open for the rest of the battle and giving poor Lal'C quite a shock. Then in the last episode, Lal'C gets in on the action as well and, exactly like Noriko, rips her uniform's top to open Dix-Neuf's chest cavity for inserting the aforementioned Applied Phlebotinum. Notably, Lal'C gets the benefit of Barbie Doll Anatomy unlike the others, who were both fully drawn. | |

Dragon Shiryu from Saint Seiya often ends up removing his armor in the middle of his fights. Doing so will invariably lead to him fighting shirtless. In the very early anime, Shiryu fought Seiya. In the climax of the fight, both of them battle-stripped to be in fully equal conditions. | |

In the Season 4 finale of Cobra Kai, Robby and Eli are fighting in a tournament match. Robby's gi top gets damaged, so he takes it off and tosses it aside. Eli looks at the referee, who just shrugs, and then removes his top as well, turning the fight into a gratuitous Shirtless Scene. | |
