- Evulz forces Alice to remove not only her clothes but her skin as well.
- Downplayed:
- Evulz forces Alice to take off her jacket.
- Evulz makes Alice strip down to her underwear.
- Evulz has his female attendants undress Alice.
- Justified:
- Evulz is strip-searching Alice to make sure she isn't hiding any weapons.

- Evulz himself decides to strip naked in front a captive Alice, to her bewilderment.
- Alice has Evulz at her mercy and strips to her birthday suit on her own initiative to dominate him.
- Subverted: Evulz considers making Alice strip but decides against it.
- Double Subverted: Alice makes a snarky remark and Evulz changes his mind again.
- Parodied: Alice, a closeted exhibitionist, attempts to strip naked in front of a prudish Evulz, who has his guards restrain her from doing so.
- Zig-Zagged:

- Evulz changes his mind several times around whether he wants Alice naked or clothed.
- Evulz captures Alice several times during the series, and sometimes he forces her to strip, while other times he lets her keep her clothes.
- Averted:
- Alice isn’t forced to strip.
- Alice doesn’t get naked.
- Evulz never captures Alice.
- Enforced: "We want a scene that establishes Emperor Evulz's depravity whilst providing a bit of Fanservice. Ooh, let's have him strip Alice naked when he captures her!"
- Lampshaded: "This is so embarrassing. Please don't make me do this."
- Invoked: Evulz is reading from an instruction manual for evil overlords and one of the steps happens to be "Strip captive".
- Exploited: Carol takes photos of Alice after she strips and either publicizes them or uses them to blackmail her.
- Defied: "What? No, I'm not going to make you take off your clothes. Even Evil Has Standards, you know."
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "!"
- Implied: After her capture, Alice is seen locked in a cell without her clothes.
- Deconstructed: The incident prompts Alice to sue Evulz for sexual assault, tarnishing his reputation.
- Reconstructed: For whatever reason, Alice was a Hero with Bad Publicity when Evulz captured her and people thought she could use some humility via humiliation.
- Played for Laughs:
- Despite the aura of humiliation, Naked People Are Funny is in effect.
- On her way to being bare naked, Alice shows her Goofy Print Underwear.
- Played for Drama:
- Alice sobs as she is forced to strip naked in front of Evulz and his leering guards. Her trauma from this humiliating experience is explored in detail and she has bad dreams about it for years afterwards.
- Alice has severe body image issues, so being forced to expose herself in front of Evulz' male guards makes her feel even more insecure about her body. It gets worse when the guards make derogatory comments about her appearance, making her feel even more ashamed of herself.
- Evulz forces Alice to strip in front of her young son Dave, just to traumatize them both even further.
- Played for Horror:
- Evulz and/or his guards rape (or are implied to rape) Alice after she strips for them.
- Evuls is a Mad Scientist and him stripping Alice is a prelude to the horrific experiments he intends to perform on her.
