'''Basic Trope''': The protagonist loses his shirt during the final battle.
* '''Straight''': Bob gets his shirt destroyed by Emperor Evulz during their climactic showdown.
* '''Exaggerated''': Bob is wearing many layers of jackets and coats which are all destroyed by Evulz in a single blow at the start of the battle.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Bob's shirt gets heavily torn in the final battle, but he keeps it on.
** Bob loses his coat in the final battle, but his shirt remains intact.
* '''Justified''':
** Evulz's attacks have [[PlayingWithFire fire properties]], so Bob's shirt got burned off after getting a blow to his torso.
** Evulz is equipped with TheNudifier to purposefully remove Bob's defenses provided by his clothing.
* '''Inverted''':
** Emperor Evulz makes Bob, a WalkingShirtlessScene, wear a shirt during the final battle.
** Bob gets his pants destroyed in the final battle.
** Emperor Evulz gets his shirt destroyed in the final battle after taking a heavy blow from Bob.
* '''Gender Inverted''': Alice loses her shirt in the final battle against Emperor Evulz.
* '''Subverted''': Evulz deals a blow to Bob in a way that looks like his shirt will be shredded, but then the dust settles and we see Bob's shirt fully intact.
* '''Double Subverted''': The shirt gets destroyed by Evulz later in the fight, leaving Bob to spend the rest of the final battle shirtless.
* '''Parodied''': [[DefeatByModesty Bob freaks out and covers his chest after Evulz burns his shirt off, then runs away and calls him a pervert.]]
* '''Zig-Zagged''': Bob puts on a new shirt each time Evulz destroys them.
* '''Averted''': Bob doesn't lose his shirt in the final battle.
* '''Enforced''': Bob is played by a good looking actor and the creators want to show off his body at least once in the series.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Even though you burned my shirt away, you haven't destroyed my will to defeat you for good!"
* '''Invoked''': Bob lets Evulz destroy his shirt as it's his PowerLimiter, thus surprising Evulz when he unleashes his true power.
* '''Exploited''': Evulz takes advantage of Bob's shirt loss to send lethal blows to his chest as his upper body is now completely vulnerable.
* '''Defied''': Bob wears an indestructible suit of armor on his torso to ensure that Evulz doesn't destroy his shirt.
* '''Discussed''': "The final battle is at hand. Don't get surprised if your shirt gets wrecked, Bob."
* '''Conversed''': "The protagonist losing his shirt in the final battle really makes things feel more dramatic, huh?"
* '''Deconstructed''': The blow that wrecked Bob's shirt also left him with horrifically painful and grisly wounds that negate any {{fanservice}} potential as well as making him vulnerable to getting killed by Evulz.
* '''Played for Laughs''': After losing his shirt, Bob goes all out on Emperor Evulz... because that was his favorite shirt and he spent a fortune on it.
* '''Played for Drama''': Bob's shirt was concealing nasty scars that Evulz inflicted on him in the past, and Evulz doesn't waste a moment to rub that fact in Bob's face after destroying his shirt.
* '''Implied''': Bob's battle against Evulz isn't shown, but when he returns he's putting on a different shirt than the one he was wearing prior to the battle.
