History Main / BoobsOfSteel

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', given how many servants it has, inevitably has a few examples -- the Avenger-class servant Jeanne Alter, who has the highest attack stat of ''all summonable Servants in the game'', has a rather sizable bust; the Berserker version of Raikou/Minamoto no Yorimitsu has breasts ''the size of her head'', and has the fourth-highest attack stat of all servants in her class; Xuanzang and Quetzacoatl, the Caster and Rider-class Servants with the highest attack of their respective classes, both have sizable busts; and [[GenderFlip Miyamoto Musashi]], who is widely considered to be the game's best Saber[[note]]although in terms of attack stats, she's considered to be the fourth-strongest, she's considered better than the above three her due to having a [=BBBAQ=] deck, and being the only SSR Saber with a single target [[LimitBreak Noble Phantasm]][[/note]] has a decently-sized bust. On the other hand, it's worth noting that bust size alone doesn't correspond to good attack power -- Boudica has a rather sizable bust, but is widely considered one of the weakest Servants in both her class (Rider) and the game.[[note]]She has good health stats, the rather useful Battle Continuation, and her NP provides a lot of defense boosts; however, she has very poor attack, her first skill is useless outside of the singularity she debuts in, and her NP is widely considered to be a poor man's version of Mash's.[[/note]]

** 'Big' Bertha Crawford, of the ComicBook/GreatLakesAvengers, is also suitably busty - and only grows more so in her fully fattened size. There's a reason she calls herself the "Ample Amazon".

* In the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' Black Widow is the best melee fighter and thanks to being played by Creator/ScarlettJohansson suitably busty as well. Another stacked brute is Peggy Carter, played by Creator/HayleyAtwell. Then comes Creator/BrieLarson's Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}, the only one who isn't a BadassNormal - she starts as a pure brawler, and remains somewhat physical as she prefers ''[[FlyingBrick flying into things]]''. She eventually escalates to punching out space warships.

* ''Series/WonderWoman1975'': Wonder Woman is, by far, the strongest, fastest, and most skilled fighter on the show. She not only beat out all of the other [[ActionGirl amazons]] of [[HiddenElfVillage Paradise Island]] for the privilege to become Wonder Woman, but she was so powerful that most of her fights were [[CurbStompBattle over before they even started]]. No one - not Etta, Eve, Fausta the Nazi Wonder Woman, nor any of the other amazons could [[MostCommonSuperPower measure up to her standard]].

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'', given how many servants it has, inevitably has a few examples - the Avenger-class servant Jeanne Alter, who has the highest attack stat of ''all summonable servants in the game'', has a rather sizable bust; the Berserker version of Raikou/Minamoto no Yorimitsu has breasts ''the size of her head'', and has the fourth-highest attack stat of all servants in her class; Xuanzang and Quetzacoatl, the caster and rider class servants with the highest attack of their respective classes, both have sizable busts; and [[GenderFlip Miyamoto Musashi]], who is widely considered to be the game's best Saber[[note]]although in terms of attack stats, she's considered to be the fourth-strongest, she's considered better than the 3 above her due to having a [=BBBAQ=] deck, and being the only SSR Saber with a single target [[LimitBreak Noble Phantasm]][[/note]] has a decently sized bust. On the other hand, it's worth noting that bust size alone doesn't correspond to good attack power - Boudica has a rather sizable bust, but is widely considered one of the weakest servants in both her class (Rider) and the game[[note]]she has good health stats, the rather useful Battle Continuation, and her NP provides a lot of defense boosts; however, she has very poor attack, her first skill is useless outside of the singularity she debuts in, and her NP is widely considered to be a poor man's version of Mash's[[/note]].

* Played with in the first ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngel'' trilogy. The bustiest member of the Angel Wing is [[CoolBigSis Forte Stollen]], though while on foot she prefers using guns instead of getting physical, and while the resident martial artist, [[AnimeChineseGirl Ranpha Franboise]], is pretty stacked herself she still falls behind Forte on that department. On the other hand, during the battle segments, Forte's Happy Trigger [[MightyGlacier has the highest firepower in the team, as well as the armor to take a beating]], while Ranpha's Kung-Fu Fighter [[GlassCannon can dish it out, but not take it]].

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' follows this with all forms of the Aegis, explicitly said to be the world's most powerful [[LivingWeapon Blade]]: Pyra and Mythra are the two bustiest characters in the game (after Dahlia). [[spoiler:The same applies to the Aegis' true form, Pneuma.]] The AncestralWeapon that comes in the form of the blade Brighid is also quite powerful and no slouch in the bust department, something viewers are reminded of thanks to her NavelDeepNeckline. [[spoiler: Poppi's final form of Poppi Qt-Pi]] that can be formed at the endgame is also very powerful, with bonus points for ''actually'' having large metallic breasts due to being [[spoiler: an artificial blade]].

* Among the cast of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', Leysritt is the biggest among all of the female characters and can wield a giant halberd with ease. She never actually fights in the VisualNovel, but according to notes, she's actually physically stronger than most of the Servants.

* Katrina of ''Webcomic/TheNoordegraafFiles'' has the largest chest of the main cast, and is the strongest female in the group. She's not the best fighter, or the biggest - but judged on pure strength, she wins out.

** Inverted in the [=EGS:NP=] story which parodies ''VideoGame/Fable''. As in the game, increasing one of your character attributes is tied to changing the main character's body. Strength, however, only makes Susan's muscles bigger, whereas the attribute that makes her chest bigger is magic.

** Characters/PowerGirl is canonically the bustiest superheroine in the DC universe and, as a Kryptonian, she's got all the powers of Franchise/{{Superman}}, making her one of the strongest characters male or female. It's not uncommon for her to be the muscle in her superhero teams.

* Shirogane Noel of ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}'' is a knight who boasts prodigious strength and among the largest breasts of the whole group. Even offline, her physical capabilities are outstanding among her peers and it has been reported multiple times that the sizeable bust of her avatar is accurate to the actress.

* In the ''LightNovel/FullMetalPanic'' universe, compare the athletic prowess of [[CuteBruiser Mao]], [[ActionSurvivor Kaname]], and [[CuteClumsyGirl Tessa]]. And then compare their figures, as demonstrated during their considerable time nude together.

* In ''LightNovel/KonoSuba'', Darkness is the strongest member of Kazuma's party, and also the most endowed (to the point her breastplate actually ''hides'' how stacked she actually is). Pity she can't land an attack to save her life, or her teammates'.

* Suguha Kirigaya, from ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'', is an accomplished kendo practitioner. She also has one of the largest busts of the female cast, both in the real world and in Alfheim Online as Leafa.

* Out of the main cast of ''LightNovel/UndefeatedBahamutChronicle'', Celis and Philuffy are the strongest and also the most buxom.

* The notably well-endowed Sara Lance is the most experienced ActionGirl in the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}''.

* Juna Crawford is the bustiest among the new members of Class VII in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsOfColdSteel III'' but Aurelia Le Guin is the bustiest and [[PurposelyOverpowered most physically powerful female character]] of the playable roster.

** ''[[VideoGame/Disgaea6DefianceOfDestiny VideoGame/Disgaea6]]'' gives us subverted and straight examples in Melodia and Piyori. Melodia has the biggest bust of all the heroines introduced, but she primarily uses offensive magic and support. That said, she can use either spears or bows. Meanwhile, Piyori is second to Melodia in the bust department, but her skills are all physically inclined, and her weapon of choice is the sword.
** The sixth game also introduces the Evil Eye monster type, which has the highest attack power of the female recruitable demons.

* In ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'', all of the "human" recruitable women are flat-chested, except for the Magic Knights, Kunoichis, Cheerleaders, and Gunslingers. The "monster" recruitable women (Succubi and Nekomatas) are very big-chested, and the Nekomatas are straight up brawlers, utilizing the highest counterattack rate and damage. For storyline characters, Jennifer in the first game specializes in fist-type weapons and easily has the largest breasts in the cast. Inverted in the fourth game that the [[PintSizedPowerhouse short]], [[UsefulNotes/{{Pettanko}} flat-chested]] [[GlacierWaif Fuka]] in the fourth game is the MightyGlacier of the main cast, has the highest physical attack power among them, and specializes in axe-type weapons. This trope is negated in the fifth game in terms of unique units; the physically strongest girl of the cast is ''[[TokenMiniMoe Usalia]]'', whose offensive stats are unimpressive but [[StoneWall boasts the highest defensive capability of the entire cast]] [[note]]if you exclude Prinnical Meteor, whereupon she grabs and flings her [[MakeMyMonsterGrow moon-sized]] [[ActionBomb Prinny]] [[EarthShatteringKaboom at the planet]][[/note]], versus [[TheGunslinger Seraphina]] and [[SquishyWizard Majorita]]. [[spoiler:Liezerota's stacked, too, but she's a noncom barring the time she's possessed by Void's malice, and her power is mostly magical in origin as a result.]]

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'':
** Played straight with Shampoo and Female-Ranma, who have generous busts and are highly skilled martial artists, as well as Miss Hinako who is one of the most powerful characters in the series since she drains power from her opponents.
** Atsuko Nakajima's OAV and movie character designs obviate the trope by making all of the girls extremely well-endowed, even the more modest ones.

* Inverted in ''Fanfic/StallionOfTheLine'' where (barring Nico Robin), the women of the Straw Hat crew are less busty the stronger they are. Nami is the second bustiest after Robin but the weakest fighter, Vivi is better and less busty, Makino is smaller and a much better fighter, and lastly [[Manga/RanmaOneHalf Ranko]] has the smallest bust and is the strongest fighter of the entire crew.

* ''Manga/Fabricant100'': One of No 100's clear characteristics beside her strength is her very large breasts size.

Note that this trope is not common enough to list aversions. Unless it is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d, it's just an ignored trope. Also note that in general, this is limited to one or two examples per work.

* This is a recurring theme in Creator/CoolKyouShinsha's works, where GagBoobs tend to be a MarkOfTheSupernatural.

* In the comic ''Chaos Campus'', pink-haired goth(ish) Jamie is the strongest character, and beats monsters to death with a wrench as a matter of course. So she also has breasts [[GagBoobs bigger than her head]], thanks to [[BreastExpansion enormous breast implants]]. She's described as "Ellen Ripley with silicone."

* In ''Film/TheDictator'', Etra, the "virgin guard" with the enormous GagBoobs, is also the most physically aggressive, and she uses said gag boobs as weapons.

* ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'' manages to have two examples: first is [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] Morrigan Aensland who is well known for her [[GagBoobs spectacular and physical defying rack]] and is the strongest and most powerful female fighter in the cast. The only one who beats Morrigan when it comes to breasts and physical strength is CatGirl Felicia, who noticeably relies much more on sheer brute power and is [[WordOfGod officially]] the bustiest character in the franchise.

* ''VideoGame/{{Robopon}}'' has a fairly literal example with the robopon Razor. She is one of the strongest robopon in the series, fights with her bare hands, and is [[GagBoobs enormously]] endowed.

* The titular main protagonist of ''Hachimitsu: Blade For Hire'' is a canine ronin who is thus far the strongest female character, and the second strongest overall. She is also by far the bustiest girl in the comic, [[GagBoobs which is often a source of humor.]]

* [[MsFanservice DiDi]] in ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' verges on GagBoobs territory, and is [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/menage-a-3/let-me-do-gary astoundingly strong]]. She is so strong, at one point, she was mistaken for a drag queen.

** Compiler is the strongest member of the Whitman Lit Chix, and has the biggest breasts, since she used nanotechnology to improve her body and [[GagBoobs overdid it]].

** In ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', Akane Owari has easily the biggest bust and she is the physically strongest among the girls.

* Generally, in the heroic fantasy comic ''ComicStrip/{{Torkan}}'', the most endowed (and/or scantily-clad) woman in the storyline would be both really strong and the GirlOfTheWeek. Actually {{lampshade|Hanging}}d in one storyline, in which the girl's first appearance was disguised as a man complete with sensible armor and helmet: when she [[BareYourMidriff slips into something more comfortable, yet less practical, for mixed adventuring and titillation purposes]], Torkan comments that she must have had difficulty breathing in that armor.

* ''Franchise/TombRaider: Lara Croft is probably the UrExample for videogames, as she is just as famous for dual-wielding pistols as she is for her bust.

** In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil2'', Claire Redfield is just a college student who is capable of kicking all kinds of ass and is much bustier than the preteen Sherry Birken and DarkActionGirl Ada Wong. This is taken even further in the remake as Ada is {{Nerfed}} in her playing segment (even getting an achievement for making it through without firing a shot), while Claire is now dropping one-liners left and right.

This is taken even further in the remake as Ada is {{Nerfed}} in her playing segment (even getting an achievement for making it through without firing a shot), while Claire is now dropping one-liners left and right.

* ''VisualNovel/MajikoiLoveMeSeriously'' is [[WorldOfActionGirls loaded with such girls]], but most notable is the [[WorldsStrongestMan strongest]] (and therefore biggest) of them all - [[BloodKnight Momoyo]] [[HugeSchoolGirl Kawakami]].

* RobotGirl Mei-Fang from ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'', being the physically largest playable character all around and strongest unarmed fighter. There is also [[BonusBoss Parace L'Sia]], who is even more well-endowed than Mei-Fang, and one of the [[SNKBoss most overpowered boss characters]] in FightingGame history.

A physically strong female without Boobs of Steel is most likely a CuteBruiser. Compare and contrast with MostCommonSuperpower. See also AmazonianBeauty.

Not related to BallsOfSteel, which is about being immune to a GroinAttack.

* ''VisualNovel/MajikoiLoveMeSeriously'' is [[WorldOfActionGirls loaded with such girls]], but most notable is the [[WorldsStrongestMan strongest]] (and therefore [[BuxomIsBetter biggest]]) of them all - [[BloodKnight Momoyo]] [[HugeSchoolGirl Kawakami]].

* ''Franchise/TombRaider: Lara Croft is probably the UrExample for videogames, as she is just as famous for duel-wielding pistols as she is for her bust.

* ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilVillage'': Lady Dimitrescu's massive assets are on full display. And among other things, she is capable of lifting a person with one hand and tosses her vanity desk in a fit of rage like it's nothing. Makes sense for her being a GiantWoman.

* ''Fanfic/FireEmblemThreeHousesFifthPath'': Unlike her outfit, which the author claims has been nerfed, Byleth's large bust carry over from the [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses main game]]. This is brought up all of once in Chapter 16 when Aelfric is comparing Byleth to her mother, who was not quite as well endowed.

* ''VideoGame/ANNOMutationem'': Ann Flores, the protagonist, is skilled in [[SheFu martial arts]] and shown to have a well-endowed bust, and its conveyed promptly when she's wearing her [[StylishProtectionGear combat suit]].
