Adam850: Bwah? I can't decipher the first sentence. Can someone anglicize it a bit? I have to go and install a subfloor.
Earnest: Here's the original intro paragraph.
- When an immensely powerful anime character has to go around with certain of her powers sealed and the artists have a fondness of cuteness, there's a good chance that this results in a 'default' mode where she looks mainly the same, but with a tiny doll-like appearance.
Cassius335: Would Belphemon from Digimon Savers sort of count for this? He literally has a Sleep Mode (a slightly cuter version of his head, with no body), but is still pretty big.
Earnest: From my limited knowledge of the show, yeah. Pretty much all digimon would qualify, since their evolved forms take energy to maintain and their smaller "cute" forms are the default.
Mabus: Am I crazy, or does a trope wide enough to cover both digimon and female anime supers also extend as far as Captain Marvel (aka Billy Batson)? Just curious.
