Actually, I sort of empathize with Ka-pi96.  No matter where you stand with the issue of nudity in games, the "light bars" are just stupid.  Not necessarily condoning nudity in video games in itself, when a character is nude, they are... nude male or female.  But in the case of Senran, why not replace the "light bars" with something like nipple coverings?  This would still serve its purpose without being too "censory."

Actually Senran Kagura uses both light bars and nipple coverings. Nipple coverings, which look like bandaids, show up in the middle stages of the cothing destruction system, while the light bars show up when in the clothing is fully destroyed. The in-game story reasoning behind the light bars is that it's a secret ninja art (ninjutsu) which the girls automatically activate to preserve their modesty while fighting instead of fighting fully naked, only prolem is that only some of the Senran Kagura characters care about modesty, some of them you can tell from their personalities would choose to fight naked. I'm guessing that the system is put in place to keep the game from getting an 18+ rating, I'm guessing the amount of nudity that Senran Kagura would have exceeds the ESRB's (and similar rating agencies) criteria to achieve a 16-17+ rating instead of an 18+ rating.

Why did I forgot about the band-aids?  I guess I was thinking of something more aesthetical such as a clan emblems or an elemental signs.  Thanks for the correction and clarification.
