message: *In Rurouni Kenshin, Kenshin's master wears a cloak of tensed springs which restrict all of his movements, requiring more power to perform them at high speed, and making him incredibly strong and fast when it is removed. He offers this to Kenshin later, who refuses due to it's being too large for his small body, and looking ridiculous. Blind Sword Usui of the Juppon Gatana also wears a turtle shell on his back, which he can remove to use as a shield, paired with his spear in hoplite fashion.
I have removed this because after looking, neither of these are instances of weighted clothing. If I was the one who added them, whoops. In the case of the spring clothing, this is a form of resistance-clothing, of which weighted clothing would be a part of, but since it uses springs rather than weight, it would have a different classification. I have actually seen apparati used for things like this (though much simpler and not as strong) so it will deserve its own article some day, where I'll also mention things like knee wraps used in powerlifting. While that is to lessen resistance rather than add it, flexed in the opposite direction it would serve that puporse.
In the gase of Usui, while he does wear a turtle shell, there's no sign that it is heavy, or that he wears it as a form of strength training. Rather, it is just a removable weapon in a hoplite fashion, worn on the back for defensive purposes, not for weight. From what I've seen, no one in Rurouni Kenshin has ever used weighted clothing, correct me if wrong. Tyciol 14:00, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we have someone put pictures of the clothing up? For one, I don't know where to look (mostly don't feel like searching) and I don't know how to put up pictures anyways (again I am too lazy to figure it out). -Posted by User:68.154.197.102 Nov 29, 2006
:I would love to do this, unfortunately I am still not comfortably familiar with Wikipedia's image use policies. I don't think it's as simple as just doing a google image search or anything, and if we were to use a commercial product it might make the article biased. People should be able to find images easily enough. It's probably not something that requires illustration anywhere, and there's such a large variety that it might be hard to choose which ones to do. Doing them all on the other hand might be excessive. Tyciol 13:35, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I believe a slight correction is in order, because during the Frieza Saga, Goku actually does wear weighted clothing during the early part of the Goku/Freiza battle.72.84.147.101 (talk) 20:18, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
