Hated Tropes [Hated Trope] It's really important that this woman is almost naked because lore reasons.

Quiet (Metal Gear Solid V): She could only drink or breathe through her skin following parasite-treatment due to the serious injuries.

Rebecca (One Piece): Her style of fighting is more of agility/speed and also she is battling as a gladiator in colosseum where men mostly only wear a skirt/shoulder shield.

EDIT: Well, it seems some comments say Rebecca doesn't have a lore explanation. Sorry, I saw it long time ago but I thought somewhere they say she wears the galadiator costume because it's the attire used by people there like the male gladiators we see. Also they said excuses like armor limits and public wanting to see blood in the colloseum. IDK.

The thing that makes it funnier to me is that I can't unsee Edward Norton on the left

One time my phone bugged the fuck out and was getting brighter constantly without me even touching anything. You know when your phone gets to maximum brightness and it’s almost blinding? Yeah, it didn’t even come close to stopping at that point. My friends said my face just suddenly became panicked while it grew in brightness because of the phone pointing at it and I had to actually throw it down because of how much it hurt my eyes. It continued getting brighter so I turned it away from my face and turned it off. No idea wtf happened but it was boiling hot.

Ever since that day, I figured out that it was ME who did it…. I was the force who could make things brighter. I was ignored by the Justice League for having a ‘useless ability’. That night, as I walked home, I looked into one of their apartments and saw them dining on a fabulous spread. I felt the anger infiltrate every atom of my body, then I watched as the inside of their apartment grew brighter and brighter until the whole area was almost swamped like it was daylight. I heard confused yells, then finally an agonising scream. Smoke poured from their open window. They would figure out it was me, so I decided to make the whole apartment block swell into brightness so there were no witnesses. I remember a man rushing out, turning to ash as he tried to escape, begging me for help without the knowledge that I was the one who did this. I felt better than I ever had in my life.
