  • Raises Gauge by 20 and HP by 10 but decreases Defense by 10.
  • For girls the sarashi may also be used as a substitute bra, wrapping and tying down the breasts to keep them secure when moving, or to simply flatten their bust to avoid attention.
  • A sarashi is a long, winding strip of cloth, usually thick cotton, wrapped tightly around the midriff up to the chest. Historically worn under kimono both by Samurai (to resist injury) and by women (for more "obvious" reasons, particularly in eras when a slim figure was considered fashionable), the sarashi's samurai associations have made them a near-universal symbol of toughness in Japan. Of course, if it's a female samurai, a sarashi is pretty much a given. Compare Bandage Babe. Examples of Sarashi include:

  • A sarashi is a long, winding strip of cloth, usually thick cotton, wrapped tightly around the midriff up to the chest. Historically worn under kimono both by Samurai (to resist injury) and by women (for more "obvious" reasons, particularly in eras when a slim figure was considered fashionable), the sarashi's samurai associations have made them a near-universal symbol of toughness in Japan. While common in anime -- delinquents (particularly in classic, older series) will often be seen wearing one under their coat or unbuttoned shirt as a visible cue as to their general level of bad-assery -- this is a general Japanese cultural trope, often found in Real Life and applicable to women as well as to men. For female characters, however, a Sarashi may also serve as an accessory to a potentially boring outfit, as an aid to crossdressing, or simply as a means of breast support. In these cases the wrapping is usually pushed up a few inches to flatten the chest (usually) and the irony inherent in using such a traditional symbol of masculinity to aid (or disguise) femininity may or may not be deliberately invoked. Of course, if it's a female samurai, a sarashi is pretty much a given. Compare Bandage Babe. Examples of Sarashi include:
