History AmazonChaser / AnimeAndManga

** {{Justified}}, since the faculty made it a rule as a means of [[AllMenArePerverts trying to prevent the male students]] from harassing [[AmazonBrigade the female students]]; which hasn't stopped a brave few, like Kai Kuragasa, from trying. He nurses an unrequited crush [[OneOfTheBoys on Azuki Shinatsu]], because she's hot and happens to be one of the strongest students at the academy.

* In ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' the second test for a beauty contest is a strength test, and the third is a wrestling match.

* ''Manga/ABridesStory'': Umar is not particularly fond of "delicate" girls, since he has trouble figuring out how to deal with them. A brash, iron-willed woman like Pariya, on the other hand? Definitely ''not'' delicate. His father is much the same, though for much sadder reasons: his wife died young due to a weak constitution, so his hopes for Umar are that he find a woman strong enough to never leave him a widower.

* In ''Manga/DevilmanLady'', Jason Bates says he would have liked Jun more if she was stronger than him.

* The [[IncorruptiblePurePureness pure hero]] Bell Cranel from ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'' falls in love with the girl who saved him from a monster.

** Out of the {{Warrior Prince}}s from the Vinsmoke clan ([[spoiler:aka Sanji's brothers]]), two of them ([[BloodKnight Niji]] and [[LittleBigBrother Yonji]]) like their girls not only pretty, but [[PluckyGirl plucky]] and [[YouGotSpunk spunky]]. As such, when they meet [[MsFanservice Nami]] and see her [[spoiler:slapping Sanji for hurting Luffy]], the two declare that they ''quite'' appreciate her fiery temper. (Their AloofBigBrother Ichiji is just as smitten with Nami, but he hasn't said anything about her spunk.)

* In ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'', ProfessionalKiller Claire Stanfield falls in love at first sight with silent assassin Chane Laforet after seeing her knife-fighting skills against PsychoForHire Ladd Russo using a SHOTGUN. He even buys her a dress with knife holsters.

* ''LightNovel/ShakuganNoShana'': Eita's introduction to Margery was her beating up thugs. Afterwards he has a goofy look on his face and asks for permission to call her 'elder sister'.
* [[Myth/NorseMythology The Valkyrie Þrúðr/Thrud]] in ''Manga/ShuumatsuNoWalkureRecordOfRagnarok'' is a muscular giant of a woman who [[BigEntrance smashes through a doorway]] in her first appearance (as one would expect of a daughter of Thor), before accusing Raiden Tameemon of [[MuscleAngst seeing her as a freak]]. Raiden [[AdaptationalAttractiveness (who has a pretty]] HeroicBuild [[AdaptationalAttractiveness himself)]] is instead overjoyed and wraps her in a bear hug, telling her he's "''very'' fond of big girls".

* ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'': Kirito is often stunned speechless by the sight of Asuna in action. He's described her as "an angel" and her combos as "pure beauty".

** A MemeticMutation by voice actor Gianni Matragrano alters Spike’s quote to “I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me,” before delving into a…rather bizarre monologue detailing what he wants her to do to him. [[https://youtu.be/-sMQpWCNTQw You can watch for yourself here]].

** It's {{Implied|Trope}} that Sasuke is this with [[CuteBruiser Sakura]]. In Chapter 632, he gives a rather ''[[https://31.media.tumblr.com/85051a84ec0a23d61ea6a1cb05953cf8/tumblr_inline_mnjxs4bx3x1qz4rgp.png flirty smirk]]'' when she first shows the power of her Yin Seal by demolishing a bunch of Ten-Tail clones in the WarArc. Later in ''Manga/NarutoGaiden'', when [[spoiler:their daughter Sarada]] demonstrates a chakra-enhanced punch [[spoiler:like her mother]], Sasuke sports that same proud smirk. Bonus points because while Sasuke has that smirk on his face, Naruto looks ''[[NoGuyWantsAnAmazon absolutely terrified of her]]''. %%- This entry is already good as it is. Do not change it.
** Naruto plays this straight with [[LadyOfWar Hinata]]. He admits that he "never knew Hinata was this incredible" when he finds out that she adopted his nindō and he sees that [[{{Determinator}} she refuses to give up]] in [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown her "fight" with Neji]] in Chapter 80, he reassures her that she is strong when she doubts herself and has a proud smile when he recalls how she defended him from Pain in Chapter 559, he sports another proud smile when he sees that [[YouShallNotPass she's leading his defense]] in Chapter 629, and he comments on her strength twice in ''Anime/TheLastNarutoTheMovie''--first was when he's confused over [[ShipperOnDeck Sakura's]] request to have him walk Hinata home, with his reasoning being that [[ComicallyMissingThePoint he feels no one in the village would dare mess with Hinata]] because she's "really strong"; second was in TheStinger, [[spoiler:where he playfully warns Boruto and Himawari during their snowball fight that their mother is "super strong" when she gets serious]].

* In ''LightNovel/{{Baccano}}'', ProfessionalKiller Claire Stanfield falls in love at first sight with KnifeNut Chane Laforet after seeing her knife-fighting skills against PsychoForHire Ladd Russo using a SHOTGUN. He even buys her a dress with knife holsters.

* ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'': For much of the anime's first season, Akane starts each schoolday being assaulted by all the guys at Furinkan Highschool. Each of them declares their love for her and asks her to go out with them as she's [[CurbstompBattle moping the floor with them]], in quick succession. That's because Tatewaki Kuno used his authority as upperclassman to decree that he'll allow ''no one'' to date Akane unless they can defeat her. Since the guys know they're outmatched, they gang up on her to try to even the odds... and they still lose pitifully. Usually in seconds. They finally stop trying once Ranma enrolls at the school, since he's the first guy Akane couldn't beat but mostly because of their ArrangedMarriage.

* In ''Manga/DetectiveConan'', Shinichi doesn't seem very put-off by Ran's karate skills... unless [[{{Tsundere}} she's directing them at him]].

** Kagura's father, Umibozu, was attracted to her mother, Kouka, because his instincts (and his crotch) told him that he could possibly die if he got involved with her. (But then again, he also got a RagingStiffie [[FoeYay at an inappropriate moment]] when he was facing [[spoiler:Utsuro]]...)

* In ''Manga/AnatoliaStory'', even though Yuri Suzuki doesn't fit the usual Amazon image (she's a rather scrawny teenage Japanese girl, for starters), she is ''very'' [[ActionSurvivor good at combat]] [[GuileHero and even better at planning]], to the point where everyone believes that she's some sort of avatar of the war goddess, Ishtar. Kail absolutely adores his "Ishtar", [[BattleCouple and the two often fight alongside each other in battle.]]
