History Main / BattleStrip

* In ''{{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 I mention they were both extremely attractive female ninja ([[NinjaPirateRobotZombie ghost samarai]] with one also being a CatGirl)?

* YakitateJapan showed to contestants of a cooking competition taking off their clothes to freak the other cook out. Definite FanService.

* Mecha Mode in the manga ''Ultimo''. [[spoiler: The doji masters are in their underwear (at least in the American edition)]].

Battle Strip is when a character, especially one who is modest, either has a {{Stripperific}} battle uniform (for the girls), or doesn't [[ShirtlessScene wear a shirt in a fight]] (for the guys). The main reason is because clothing could restrict moment/attacks, or its also a sign of {{Badass}}. However, sometimes it's just plain FanService.

* In the GrandFinale of ''AvatarTheLastAirbender,'' [[EvilOverlord Firelord Ozai]] incinerates his robe before he fights Aang.

* In ''The Way Of The Dragon'', BruceLee and ChuckNorris prepare for their big fight by taking off their shirts. Then CrackingUp.
