History FatBastard / AnimeAndManga

** And the merchant who holds up the evacuation of Trost by demanding that a cart that was too wide for the gate should be given priority over the people.

* The Major from ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}''.

** One of these was a Commodore of the Marines and a Filler Villain in the Dragon Filler Arc, who was so morbidly obese that he could hardly move on his own. So far, he's been the only high-ranking Marine officer to not have [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking asskicking skills to back up his rank]] (though he did, at least, have the intelligence…well, at least as far as catching pirates goes). And he was constantly shown eating huge piece of meat after huge piece of meat.

* Subverted in ''LightNovel/TheFarawayPaladin''. Bagley is a portly old man who treats everyone coarsely and is more often seen eating and speaking with politicians than doing his priestly duties. But Bagley turns out to be a pious man whose carousing is actually his efforts to curry favor to maintain the connections and good name of the temple.

*** ''Anime/DoraemonNobitaAndTheIslandOfMiraclesAnimalAdventure'' have Sherman, another overweight futuristic billionaire and RichJerk running a group of {{Evil Poacher}}s (and a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute to Dolmanstein above), who wants to hijack the exotic prehistoric life on the island for himself. He's also a BadBoss who berates his mooks for ''fleeing from a saber-toothed tiger'' and a gigantic {{Manchild}} who's portrayed to be far less than Dolmanstein.

** Gian from the main cast can fall under this trope ''depending'' on the medium. In the original manga he's Nobita's class bully who delights in stealing toys, picking on his fellow classmates (even his so-called "best friend" Suneo, who follows Gian around due to being a suck-up), and more than once beats up Nobita for "looking at him the wrong way". And it's not just limited to physical beatings - an issue have Gian getting angry at Nobita and deciding to ''forbid anyone else from making friends'' with the latter, or suffer a beatdown. Much of the original series revolves around Gian getting into increasingly humiliating situations as result of his bullying ways as a KarmicButtMonkey. Later adaptations like the 2005 reboot and ''Manga/DoraemonsLongTales'' would instead give Gian some AdaptationalNiceGuy treatment, where he's a huge guy with a hot temper but at least he won't actively pick on the other kids and is rather chummy with his pals when in a good mood.

* From an filler episode in ''Manga/DetectiveConan'', there's a fat bitch named Michie Uemori. She's a famous chef who crapped '''big''' time on four of her disciples [[note]](stole her childhood friend's boyfriend and married him without second thoughts; refused to help her daughter-in-law when she was a victim of DomesticAbuse; stole her best female pupil's recipes and made them pass as her own; denied economic support to her best male student)[[/note]] and still treats them all like shit. [[spoiler: And usurprisingly, she becomes the AssholeVictim.]]
** Akira Sumida from the "Timeless Sakura Love" was a fat pawn shop owner, feared and hated for also doubling as a completely heartless and selfish LoanShark, willing to do things like [[spoiler: stealing a valious ring that someone pawned when in a desperate situation and then lie about having sold it ''while she's wearing it'']], [[spoiler: trick another person into buying an antique plate in 500.000 yens when in reality it's just a cat's plate worth less than 1000]], and [[spoiler: trying to force a person in debt to sign a life insurance policy so she'd kill him and get money from it]]. [[spoiler:And then, [[KarmicDeath the last one]] [[AssholeVictim backfired TERRIBLY]].]]

* The monsters from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' often show a predisposition towards being fairly pudgy, including at least one who may be wider than it is tall (and that's [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever saying something]]).

* ''Anime/DragonBall'':

* ''Anime/DragonBallZ'':
** Fat Buu is an inversion; while [[PsychopathicManchild fat and childish]], [[ObliviouslyEvil he is not intentionally cruel]] and, in the end, winds up [[HeelFaceTurn as one of the good guys]]. But on the way there he becomes steadily more evil, and at the same time less fat; first, when his BerserkButton is pressed, the evil side of him manifests in a gaunt form that literally consumes the original, which then becomes the trim-but-buff Super Buu, evil but with a sense of purpose and a tiny germ of honor, which eventually becomes half-pint Kid Buu, who's just an OmnicidalManiac going on pure instinct, when Fat Buu is ripped from Super Buu's being.
