A form of Multiform Balance, where a combatant sheds their armor for the sake of speed. Unencumbered by the weight, they're less resilient, but much more mobile. This can turn them from a Mighty Glacier or Stone Wall into a Fragile Speedster. In cases of extreme power level or where Armor Is Useless, this can lead to the armor effectively being a Power Limiter and/or invoking the Bishōnen Line. The Action Dress Rip is related, in that they're both sacrificing clothing for mobility, though the circumstances are usually fairly different.
Compare Didn't Need Those Anyway!, which often overlaps with this trope when it comes to video game enemies. If it happens to a boss, it's probably a sign that he Turned Red. Compare also Disposable Vehicle Section; sometimes overlaps when the thing being shed is the vehicle's protective armor. Compare Power Harness for when Powered Armor was designed with this principle in mind to begin with.

In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, once you remove all of a Darknut's armor, it casts aside its BFS (by chucking it at Link, mind you) and draws a longsword, making both its movement and attack speed much higher. They do the same thing if you damage one enough in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Dark Souls (carried on to Elden Ring) has a mechanic where your roll changes depending on how close to your equip load limit you are- a quarter or less and it's faster and covers a longer difference, halfway there and it's normal, and if you encumber yourself right up to the limit then your roll is slow and awkward. The community has dubbed these as fast rolling, medium rolling, and fat rolling respectively. The latter is to be avoided, given how Armor Is Useless in most of these games.

Fate Testarossa from the Lyrical Nanoha franchise is already a Fragile Speedster, but in StrikerS, she adds the "True Sonic Form" to her armor, which essentially trades whatever meager defense it still provided for another speed boost. Her enemy at the time notes that she can be killed with a single blow in that form—but fails to take into account that you can't hit someone who moves so fast you can't see her.

In Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, Mikazuki sheds Gundam Barbatos's heavy armor and overclocks it in order to defeat Graze Ein.
The Gundam Kimaris was a powerful, armored, and ultimately a bulky, cumbersome machine. When rebuilt into the Gundam Vidar, as little armour as possible was attached, and even what there is has slots cut in it to reduce weight As a result, the Vidar is a Glass Cannon that is nigh impossible to catch.

First Knight: As part of the celebration of King Arthur's betrothal to Guinevere, several able-bodied young men tried braving the Gauntlet (a mechanical obstacle course). Everyone who went through the Gauntlet wore heavy protective padding, and promptly got pushed off the Gauntlet. When Guinevere agreed to give a kiss to the first man to clear the Gauntlet, Lancelot immediately braved the Gauntlet, but without the padded armor. Needless to say, he skated through the contraption, although he opted not to kiss Guinevere.

Parodied in the zombie episode of Community. At the climax, Troy dons his Halloween costume: a cardboard version of the power loader from Aliens. While it does give him a little bit of protection from the Technically Living Zombies, it also gives them more to grab onto and slows him down. He quickly sheds it and wonders why he thought that it would be a good idea.

In Paradise Lost, the angels of God adapt to the satanic invention of artillery by throwing away their swords, spears, and shields to allow them the speed to zip past demonic cannon volleys and knock 'em down. To further the anti-armor rhetoric, the armor the demons wear prevents them from dodging the swift angels' surprise attack.

Jil's armor in The Tower of Druaga is extremely heavy, surprising anyone who tries to pick up a piece of it when he's not wearing it. The advantages of this are not made apparent until his final confrontation against his older brother Neeba who holds the power of a reincarnated Druaga in the finale of the 2nd half. His armor is lost piece by piece until he's left totally unarmored. Even he is stunned by how fast he can suddenly move and how high he can jump when unencumbered by its weight.

In Mobile Suit Gundam 00 the Virtue Gundam can eject most of its armor to become the more maneuverable Nadleeh Gundam. However, the Nadleeh was not intended as a combat unit — as most of its capacitors and weapons are in its armor, it's much weaker than Virtue and never used in battle except as a last resort.

In Attack on Titan, the Armored Titan is able to go from a Mighty Glacier to a (relative) Fragile Speedster by shedding the armor at its joints. This grants it increased mobility and speed, but creates an Achilles' Heel that soldiers are already trained to exploit. As such, doing so is a risky gamble.

In Kid Icarus: Uprising, the Great Sacred Treasure used in the Final Battle combines this with Transforming Mecha. It starts by shedding a few weapons in transformation to Pursuit Mode. When Hades bombards it, in morphs into the more naturally controlled Mech Armor Mode. When Hades breaks off the cockpit, the two primary jet engines reattach into Ultra-Light Mode. When Hades completely smashes the thing, Pit salvages its major cannon to deliver the Final Strike.

Hitler in Wolfenstein 3-D starts out in a suit of Powered Armor, which is visually impressive but is actually statistically identical to all the game's other bosses. After you destroy said Power Armor, Hitler comes out to fight you himself; he's noticeably faster than other bosses, but only has about half as much health.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask have a milder example, with Iron Knuckles gaining movement speed after losing their armor, but not attack speed. While they move much faster, they are no longer Immune to Flinching, so the player has to adapt accordingly.

Kamen Rider Agito:
Subverted: The manmade G3 system has a function which allows the user to shed his armor to allow for more speed. However, it's more or less an emergency switch that allows the user drop the cumbersome armor to make a quick getaway from a dangerous situation, not a form of Multiform Balance. It's only used once in the series by Dirty Coward Toru Hojo.
Played straight, however, with the Titular Rider. Burning Form is extremely strong, but not very fast. But when exposed to sunlight, most of the armor is shed to transform into Shining Form, which keeps Burning Form's power while being much faster.

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has something similar to Kabuto above where the Riders start out in a bulky, Super-Deformed "Level 1" form and then have a "Level 2" form where they shed their bulky armor, becoming less physically powerful but much quicker and more agile. Later on, Ex-Aid gains an example like Gaim, where his penultimate form is basically a bulky suit of Powered Armor (resemling his Level 1 form) and in order to transform into his Super Mode he sheds the extra armor.

Played with in Valkyria Chronicles. General Jaeger's tank the Lupus has extra armor plating, slowing it down. The speed it gains after they're destroyed isn't a "boost" so much as it finally being able to go its regular speed. Its no less durable than a heavy tank without them either. The only real drawback being that the radiator(every tank's weak spot) is finally exposed.

Parodied in an early The Order of the Stick comic, where Elan, misunderstanding how this trope works in Dungeons & Dragons, believes he can remove all of his clothes and become impossibly nimble and stealthy. (He can't. The bonus does exist, but only for removing actual armor.) Of course, since nobody wants to look at him when he is naked, Elan believes it works better than he thought. It becomes a minor running gag that anyone who is naked is said by Elan to be "invisible".

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, heavy armor offers the best protection, but is cumbersome and loud. It's not uncommon for players to don armor in close combat and then stash it in their inventory when moving across the landscape or sneaking. Though becoming skilled enough with heavy armor eventually allows you to make so that it weighs absolutely nothing when you wear it, allowing you to move at full speed, while the loudness issue can be solved by putting a Muffle enchantment on the boots or simply casting the Muffle spell when needed.

Warframe:
Chroma can use the Effigy ability to animate his pelt into a fire-breathing dragonnote or icebreathing, or lightningbreathing, or toxinbreathing, depending on your setup. As he's no longer wearing the pelt, this causes his Armor stat to drop but boosts his running speed.
Xaku can use the ability Vast Untime to explode their outer shell leaving a skeletal frame that can move faster. Unlike most examples of this trope, Xaku does not become more fragile, suffering no penalties in durability. They, in fact, become tankier by virtue of increased Evasion, meaning enemies are less likely to land a hit.

The Iron Doll in Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge is a massively armored slow-moving knight... until you knock him down to half health, he sheds the heavy armor, and starts leaping around with a spear. It's an odd kind of balance because with the armor he's the easiest of the four bosses, and without it he's the hardest of them.

Inverted in Mobile Suit Gundam F91. The titular Gundam's high output and use of its Biocomputer require tremendous cooling, and one solution turned out to be the Metal Peel-off Effect (MEPE). Basically it transfers heat up its outer layers of armor material and dissipates it, with the added effect of playing merry hell on an opponent's visual sensors as they continue to register a mobile suit where there are only dissipated armor particles. (Later versions of the F91 remove this by limiting its output and using more advanced cooling materials, but it's made clear that it can be restored.)

In Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle, this is a formal technique called Break Purge. By removing most of their armour and concentrating energy to the remaining pieces, a Drag-Knight can increase their offence and speed at the expense of defence. Celis is a specialist in this technique and often uses it against tough opponents.

Possible in Pathfinder with the armored coat, a special medium armor that only requires a move action to don or remove. Useful for characters with levels in classes that are heavily impaired by armors but would really like an extra protection from time to time. Magic items such as the bracers of armor exist, but they are way more expensive and cannot beat a +5 armored coat in terms of armor bonus and extra special abilities.

In Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon, promoting Zuika to the Terminator class gives him a chitinous armor.

Technically possible in Dungeons & Dragons, but generally impractical to do in combat. Heavy armor increases a character's AC, but caps the bonus they can gain from high dexterity and reduces movement speed. At absurdly high levels of dexterity, a character might be better off wearing no armor and possibly buying enchanted clothes, even in terms of the one thing armor is supposed to be good for.

In Pokémon the Series: Black & White: Cilan's Dwebble/Crustle simply exits out of its shell and glows white. That white energy breaks off and reveals the Pokémon bathed in red energy, signifying speed and power gained.

Bastard!! (1988): After Princess Sheila's armor gets caught in the scenery, Dark Schneider tells her to discard her armor because all it will do is slow her down and she does it. While she does seem to move better without it and it makes it easier for him to carry her, it is possible he said it just so he could see her in her skimpy outfit under the armor.

Daemon X Machina: The online-only boss Zeruchroar is a heavily armored Colossal Immortal. At the halfway point of the fight, it discards its armor, increasing speed as the trope dictates. Problem being, Zeruchroar was already fast to begin with! In stage 2 it's so fast as to effectively be an Evasion Tank, and its weaknesses change because the underlying frame has different resistances than its armor. On the plus side, the discarded armor pieces make good choices for throwing back at it.

The Legend of Zelda:
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask have a milder example, with Iron Knuckles gaining movement speed after losing their armor, but not attack speed. While they move much faster, they are no longer Immune to Flinching, so the player has to adapt accordingly.
In The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, once you remove all of a Darknut's armor, it casts aside its BFS (by chucking it at Link, mind you) and draws a longsword, making both its movement and attack speed much higher. They do the same thing if you damage one enough in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Shurikenger from Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger (and his American counterpart, the Green Samurai Ranger from Power Rangers Ninja Storm), have this transformation as their Super Mode. In their default morphed form, they appear to wear a large golden vest that acts as armor and weighted gear; and when entering their Super Mode they quickly discard the vest, which granted them - along with a new visor (by the top part of the helmet spinning around) and a samurai saber - extra speed.
Impressively when the golden vest hits the ground, it ends up shaking, cracking and leaving a crater from its sheer weight. Alongside that, discarding the vest reveals that the diamond logo on the suit actually has wings on its sides (that the vest covers up). Which emphasizes the speed boost the Super Mode gives.
Similarly, the mecha Senpuujin/Storm Megazord used by the main trio, can do a similar transformation into its Lightning mode, trading its bulky frame for a sleeker, quicker form that however can only last for a few minutes.

Wild Wuerger from Super Robot Wars: Original Generation. As part of its finishing move it sheds its armor and reveals a pair of bladed wings, with which it launches a series of blindingly-fast attacks. One of Arado's possible lines when using this maneuver is even a Shout-Out to Kamen Rider Kabuto.

Occurs a few times in Kamen Rider:
Kamen Rider Agito:
Subverted: The manmade G3 system has a function which allows the user to shed his armor to allow for more speed. However, it's more or less an emergency switch that allows the user drop the cumbersome armor to make a quick getaway from a dangerous situation, not a form of Multiform Balance. It's only used once in the series by Dirty Coward Toru Hojo.
Played straight, however, with the Titular Rider. Burning Form is extremely strong, but not very fast. But when exposed to sunlight, most of the armor is shed to transform into Shining Form, which keeps Burning Form's power while being much faster.
An organic version happens in Kamen Rider 555, where the Dragon Orphenoch sheds most of his skin and muscle mass to turn into a sleeker skeletal looking form, which is fast enough to keep up with the Faiz Accel form that's reputed to be as fast as the speed of sound.
In Kamen Rider Kabuto, all Kamen Riders initially transform into a bulky Masked Form, which can shed its armor with the command "Cast Off" to become the sleek and super-fast Rider Form. The Worm, the enemy race of the series, can do a similar thing, where a bulky Salisworm is able to shed its skin to molt into a stronger but sleeker form, able to move at the same Super-Speed as the Rider Forms can.
In Kamen Rider Double, Accel's Trial Super Mode has sleeker and less bulky armor to go with its Super-Speed ability.
The third form of the title character in Kamen Rider Gaim resembles a heavily armored samurai. His transformation to his final form involves him throwing off his armor to reveal a sleeker form. While his final form is not explicitly shown to be faster than the previous, the official website does state there is an increase in speed and agility.
Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has something similar to Kabuto above where the Riders start out in a bulky, Super-Deformed "Level 1" form and then have a "Level 2" form where they shed their bulky armor, becoming less physically powerful but much quicker and more agile. Later on, Ex-Aid gains an example like Gaim, where his penultimate form is basically a bulky suit of Powered Armor (resemling his Level 1 form) and in order to transform into his Super Mode he sheds the extra armor.
Kamen Rider Zi-O has Kamen Rider Geiz's Midseason Upgrade Geiz Revive Shippu trades the thick armor and enormous strength of Revive Goretsu for Super-Speed so great that even being able to predict the future isn't enough to reliably dodge Geiz's attacks.

In one Knights of the Dinner Table storyline, Dave 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.

Monster Hunter: World:
Kulve Taroth starts the fight clad in a massive layer of gold armor which protects her from attacks but also makes her move extremely slowly. The majority of the fight involves breaking the armor apart, leading into the final phase where she is unarmored and significantly faster.
Shara Ishvalda starts its fight covered in a layer of thick rock armor which must be broken. Once the armor falls off, Shara is notably faster, though still relatively slow.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, whenever Samus uses her Final Smash, she sheds her Varia Suit and fights in the skin-tight Zero Suit she wears underneath, becoming lighter and much, much faster, as observed by Snake in his Codec conversation with Mei Ling. If you choose to start a battle as Samus in her Zero Suit form, she emerges on the stage with pieces of her power armor falling off of her, which can be picked up and thrown at opponents right from the start of the match. Smash 4 and Ultimate do away with this quirk and make both forms of Samus separate characters.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, Jean-Pierre Polnareff's stand, the knight-like Silver Chariot can shed its armor for a more skeletal, much faster form. When the armor is off, Silver Chariot can move so fast that it seems that there are five of them. Avdol only manages to defeat Polnareff by setting up a trap with his Crossfire Hurricane attack. Unfortunately, the only other time Polnareff uses this ability is when he becomes Brainwashed and Crazy and tries to kill the Joestar crew again. There is another time where he used it on Hol Horse to stop a bullet. It would work easily if the bullet wasn't completely homing.

A few of your available tanks in World of Tanks work this way. The most overt example is the KV-1S, which you acquire after training with the KV-1. Though using the same base chassis and several of the same parts, the 1S is nimbler but less durable. In a broader sense, this is how French battle doctrine evolves as you advance in tiers. Up to tier 4, their vehicles are very slow, but very well armored...then at tier 5, you go from the AMX 40, an adorably duck-shaped slab of steel, to the AMX ELC bis, an incredibly tiny but fragile tank that zips around the battlefield and sets the tone for later French vehicles.

Late in episode 1 of Traffic Department 2192 there is a mission whose first half involves driving a slow, unarmed, but heavily-armored truck into the enemy Vulture HQ. The truck carries two things: a Vulture Mark II hoverskid, which is your cover for getting inside, and a bomb powerful enough to level the building. The second half involves escaping from the newly-ruined HQ building in the Mark II, which has had its armor stripped to the bone in order to be carried in the Truck in the first place.

One Piece:
Although he doesn't shed actual armor, Rob Lucci's use of the Life Return technique is essentially this trope. Using the technique in his half-leopard hybrid form, he turns his bulky and resistant body into a much slimmer form. What he loses in power and defense, he gains in agility and speed.
Similar to the above example is King. King being a Lunarian grants him several powers, including a flame on his back that he can extinguish and reignite at will. While the flame is burning, King is ludicrously tough, to the point of being Nigh-Invulnerable. When the flame is out, King becomes much faster, but loses his insane resilliance to attacks. Zoro figuring this out is the key to allowing him to defeat King.

In Fate/Zero, Saber discovers during her fight with Lancer that his weapon can ignore magical objects (like her armor), so she removes it to gain a boost in speed with little cost since it wasn't actually protecting her. Which he'd planned for, he actually had a second weapon that causes much more dangerous wounds but could be blocked by armor.

In Man of Steel, at the film's climax, Zod sheds his Powered Armor. This allows him to gain Flying Brick powers by exposing him to the Earth's atmosphere, giving him the ability to fly thus turning him from a Mighty Glacier to a Lightning Bruiser, as the exposure also gives him both Super-Strength and Super-Toughness that compensates for the loss of his armor.

Pokémon:
The move Autotomize causes the user to shed part of its body armor in order to gain speed. This raises speed by two levels and also lightens the user (weakening moves that do more damage to heavy Pokémon, like Low Kick and Grass Knot, and strengthening the ones that do more damage to light Pokemon, like Heavy Slam and Heat Crash).
The move Shell Smash is inspired by this trope. All of the user's defensive stats drop by one, but their offensive stats (including speed) increase by 2. Gen 9 introduced the ability version of Shell Smash called Anger Shell, which only happens when the user has half or lower health. Additionally, the move Fillet Away (unique to the Pokémon Veluza) is a variant in which, rather than dropping their defenses, the user sheds surplus flesh to increase their speed and offensive capabilities.
The Ability Weak Armor represents this similarly. Every time a Pokémon is hit with a physical attack, its Defense drops a stage, but its Speed increases one. Its Japanese name Broken Armor makes it even more apparent.
Shelmet and Karrablast exhibit this when they evolve. They only evolve when one is traded for the other. Effectively, mid-trade, Karrablast swipes Shelmet's metal shell. Karrablast slows down and becomes the Mighty Glacier Escavalier, while the newly-unencumbered Shelmet evolves into Accelgor, which is in the top five fastest non-legendary non-Mega Pokemon ever released.note Accelgor is outsped only by Ninjask and both forms of Electrode under this condition, as well as Pheromosa if Ultra Beasts are counted. As of Gen IX, it's joint 13th fastest alongside Mega Beedrill and Mega Sceptile if you do include legendaries/mythicals and Mega forms
Type: Null also shows this when it evolves into Silvally — Type: Null's heavy helmet breaks apart, giving Silvally the boost in base speed to match the rest of its stats. Silvally is also lighter than Type: Null due to this. Its defensive stats aren't actually affected, though; the helmet is a Power Limiter to prevent Type: Null from going berserk from its RKS System, and the evolution happens when its bond with its Trainer allows control of it.
Minior has the unique Shields Down ability, which starts it out with a thick layer of armor that gives it strong defenses and protection from status ailments. Once its health dips below half, the armor breaks apart, revealing its faster, more offensively-oriented, core.
The move Scale Shot, available via move tutors or naturally learned by Roaring Moon, is a multi-hit attack that drops its user's Defense by one stage but increases its Speed by one stage.

In Spells, Swords, & Stealth, Eric the town guard has been wearing armor for years. When the NPCs have to pretend to be adventurers in order to spare their town the wrath of the Mad King, Eric is the natural choice for wearing the paladin's heavy armor. However, during a fight with demons, he ends up stripping off the armor and discovers that all the years of wearing armor have given him excellent musculature that allows him to be quick and nimble, as well as stealthy, without it. He very quickly reclassifies himself as a rogue. He gets new armor later, but it's special lightweight armor that doesn't encumber him.

Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail is known for her "Equip Magic," which lets her summon weapons and armor out of thin air. She also has a Sarashi form with no armor that greatly boosts her speed and attack power in exchange for almost no protection (in this case, it's because she's focusing all her magic power into offense, and by the point she uses this her enemy has likely proven they can tear through her defensive armors anyways).

In Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time, the Pharaoh Zombie is initially the slowest zombie in the game since it's wearing its sarcophagus, but that makes him one of the toughest with an insane amount of health, immunity to being paralyzed, and the fact it can survive an explosive plant, which are usually a OHKO. Once it takes enough damage, the sarcophagus breaks and while he still has a Zombie Gait, he's one of the fastest zombies in the game.

In Space Pirates and Zombies, players can have their ships jettison their armor plates to increase their speed. The catch is, you can't get the armor back. It doesn't see much use in normal missions, but is a necessary trick to win one of the bounty hunter missions.

Chirico does this in the Armored Trooper VOTOMS: Big Battle OVA, shedding a full sixth of a standard Scopedog's weight off to create the Light Scopedog custom unit. (This sort of customization is also pretty standard in the setting.)

In God of War III, Hercules is decked out in armor that makes him move slowly, and which Kratos knocks off bit by bit. When the armor's gone completely, Herc becomes much faster, but can be defeated in only a few more hits. Unfortunately it also becomes tougher to get those hits in, because for the first time in the fight Hercules will be trying to dodge.

In Robotech: Battlecry, you can choose to pilot an armored version of any given Veritech fighter in multiplayer — you start in your humanoid Humongous Mecha mode and are forced to stay that way due to the heavy armor and numerous missile pods installed on your legs, chest, and shoulders disabling the Veritech's ability to change modes. This leaves you in the slowest possible form, as the additional armaments and protection hamper the Battloid mode's mobility, but provides an exceptional defense boost as well as a lot of missiles to throw around. In an emergency, however, you can execute the 'purge' command, which ejects all that extra armor and weaponry, reverting the Veritech to its standard model and re-enabling transformation.

Accel World: Cyan Pile is a variant. Normally his movement is restricted by the massive, unwieldy Pile Bunker he wears on one arm. However, in book 4 he develops the incarnate technique "Cyan Blade" which discards the outer portion of the bunker and transforms its pile into a lightweight katana, allowing him to move and fight far more swiftly. This comes at the cost of range and most of his Special Attacks, so in later battles he switches between the two modes as needed.

This is a favored tactic in Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django which put a de facto level limit on armor by giving you running speed boosts with every level up, while stronger armor weighed more and reduced your running speed. Most players preferred having a base running speed faster than the Dash ability and would opt for no armor at all (until they found the Earthly Robe with it's 28 defense / 8 weight) in favor of being able to take extra hits.

The prototype Stark Jegan from Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack-MSV (basically canon mecha designs that didn't make it to the screen) had additional armor and armaments that it could eject in order to increase its speed.
The one Stark Jegan that appears in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn ejects its missile pods once they are exhausted and becomes noticeably faster, enough to dogfight with the Kshatriya without much trouble.

A power limiter example rather than a simple speed boost, but in one episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Joey talks about how his card "Gearfried the Iron Knight" really wears its armor to control its own power, before removing that armor with a spell card to transform it into the powerful "Gearfried the Swordmaster."

The third form of the title character in Kamen Rider Gaim resembles a heavily armored samurai. His transformation to his final form involves him throwing off his armor to reveal a sleeker form. While his final form is not explicitly shown to be faster than the previous, the official website does state there is an increase in speed and agility.

Pokémon: The Series: Shell Smash in the game is a move that breaks a Pokémon shell, trading defense for speed and power. But since Pokémon's body parts breaking on-screen may be iffy, the anime gets around it in various ways.
In Pokémon the Series: Black & White: Cilan's Dwebble/Crustle simply exits out of its shell and glows white. That white energy breaks off and reveals the Pokémon bathed in red energy, signifying speed and power gained.
In Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon Kiawe's Turtonator knows, and has used, Shell Smash. However, it neither leaves nor breaks it shell. Its shell simply goes white and break off into energy fragments, which shows the Pokémon glowing red with speed and power.

In Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, the NT-1 "Alex" is outfitted with a special Chobam Armor which makes it incredible resilient, but kills its mobility and agility. Once it's ejected, the suit is much faster, having been designed to A) not be completely useless with all the extra weight, and B) keep up with Amuro Ray's Newtype reflexes. However, the very Oldtype Christina McKenzie is out of her league with it.

In fact, Robin strips himself of all of his armor and metal decorations, save his helmet and mask, during his fight against Junkman. Robin then becomes so fast that he literally runs rings around the evil wrestler.
