Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Camp characters — gay, macho, or straight — are flamboyant in appearance or demeanor. This doesn't necessarily mean that they can't hold themselves in a fight. Often times they'll fight in a way that suits their campiness. They may incorporate ballet in their moves, fight with beautiful clothing, unleash rainbow beams, use roses, etc., all in a flashy way that somehow works. May or may not end up conjuring Bishie Sparkles. Often overlaps with Agent Peacock, Combat Aestheticist, Dance Battler, The Fighting Narcissist, Heart Is an Awesome Power, Personality Powers, and She-Fu. Note that while the Agent Peacock is an effeminate badass, Campy Combat is specifically about effeminate men fighting in a campy, over-the-top way. Compare Fighting Clown, where a character's fighting style is meant to be amusing, and Super-Cute Superpowers, where superpowers are girly and cute.

Tokyo Ghoul has Shuu Tsukiyama, a foppish young man dressed in designer suits with a tendency to make dramatic displays and an obsession for Kaneki that blurs the line between hunger and sexual desire. He wraps his bright purple kagune around his arm as a spiraling ribbon to fight, using it as a blade in a manner similar to fencing. | |

Charlotte Chuhlhourne in Bleach is a drag queen with long purple hair and shimmering eyes. He's obsessed with beauty and very vain, with his Resurreccion giving him a crop top and pink cape, and letting him form heart-shaped beams and a white rose bush that cuts himself and his enemy off from the rest of the world. | |

Guilty Gear's Bridget is a textbook example. A young lady with attack animations that are very acrobatic and showy, with even her idle animation having her sway back and forth like she's dancing. There's also Raven, a literal Combat Sadomasochist who strikes flamboyant poses during his attacks. |

Nathan Seymour from Tiger & Bunny has electric pink hair, effeminate mannerisms, and likes to hit on male heroes. Despite this, Nathan is a superhero known as Fire Emblem who can unleash fire in flashy, flamboyant poses. Nathan was assigned male at birth but uses feminine speech and the author suggests they consider themself "gender-free". | |

American Dad!: In "Surro-Gate", Stan, outraged that Francine agreed to be the surrogate for Greg and Terry's baby behind his back, threatens to beat them up. Greg and Terry's response is to put on some "rumble" music and engage in a dance-based battle, nimbly avoiding Stan's attacks, and pulling off over-the-top pretend attacks rather than actually attacking him, to his annoyance. Of note, it's a Shout-Out to West Side Story, using the same sort of music and dance-fighting. | |

Second, his skateboard, costume, and mask all have hearts somewhere on them, and even his moves' names are all associated with the word love, such as his infamous "Love Hug" move. | |

Downplayed with Loras Tyrell from A Song of Ice and Fire. He's a long-haired, effeminate man considered to be more beautiful than most women and in a secret homosexual relationship with Renly Baratheon. Despite being one of the best knights in Westeros, he goes into battle looking very flamboyant, wearing ornate, caped armor adorned with roses, the sigil of his family, and riding on a white horse. According to official illustrations, even the lance he fights with has rose designs. | |

One Piece: There is a fighting style known as Okama Kenpo used by okamanote Japanese slang for a homosexual or transvestite which uses kicks and ballet-like movements. Bentham a.k.a. Bon Clay, a flamboyant okama in pink, is a master of the martial art. Emporio Ivankov is the greatest okama of them all and he uses his Devil Fruit, the Horm-Horm Fruit, to change himself into a woman to fight. His move "DEATH WINK" also has him wink his mascaraed eye with long eyelashes to send a powerful blast of air pressure. |

The Cute High Earth Defense Club series (Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! and Cute High Earth Defense Club Happy Kiss!) has all the campy action of a typical Magical Girl Warrior show, but with the genders flipped and played for comedy. Puffy pants and glittery wands are the name of the game, and they fight the Monster of the Week using The Power of Love and rainbow beams. It's played just straight enough to allow them to be competent at their jobs but otherwise has them lampshading the absurdity. | |
