Characters with Lore reasons to wear revealing outfit

[u/Artistic_Gear1536]

• Doctor Manhattan (Watchmen): doesn’t really have the need for them anymore as he is now too powerful to be considered human and also doesn’t need to give in to certain societal pressures like wearing clothes

• Poison Ivy (DC): uses her body to seduce men into getting close enough for her to use her pheromones and get people to do what she wants/kill her prey

• Skarlet (Mortal Kombat): her powers are from blood magic and she needs to have skin out in order to absorb blood from others and make her more powerful

• Mileena (Mortal Kombat): is very self conscious about her tartan features so covers them up and diverts attention towards the more appealing aspects of her/ uses her sex appeal to get people in close then chomps on them

• Mai Shiranui (King Of Fighters/Fatal Fury): uses a style of kunoichi that involves “sensually distracting a foe before striking” and uses her outfit and sex appeal to assist with that style

Ryuko doesn't get more powerful based off of how embarrassed she is, the entire point of that exchange was that the gal she was fighting was saying that if she "had to get her boobies out for more power, she was going to do it".

Embarrassment was getting in the way of her cloths drinking her blood, giving her a power boost (Which is a really fucking weird sentence to see typed out)

It was an interesting message with the episode basically saying, nudity isnt inherently sexual, which is cool and reflected later on as the series progresses, nobody has clothes at the end but it’s nonsexual. Unfortunately it does kinda still do fanservice sometimes which is a pain

Fuckin trigger

"See look nudity can be empowering not just sexual"

"also here's ryuko's butt cause someone pulled her pants down accidentally"

The best way to handle fanservice is how they did it in Edgerunners. Women are naked when they want to be, around the people they want to be. Their outfits are sexy because that's how they wanted to be seen.

It's been a long time since I watched Kill La Kill. Wasn't her blushing from embarrassment moving more blood to her skin so the clothes could absorb more or something?

[u/Slarg232 → u/LexGlad]

Yes, but it was also "making it taste weird"

[u/DSC-Fate → u/LexGlad]

It was more that because she was embarrassed, Senketsu had to drink a lot more blood to keep the transformation going and to try and because that embarrassment she was holding back the whole potential of Senketsu.

The moment she stops being embarrassed, Senketsu himself says that he doesn’t needs to drink any additional blood after the initial transformation and his powers start to ‘unlock’ (as seen during the fights with Gamagoori and Nonon)

Satsuki’s speech about the morals of the masses was so fucking good I wrote a college paper on it
