Campy Combat	comment	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.

Campy Combat / int_1b021fcb	comment	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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
