* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The entire series is like this, but one incident stands out: during the fight in Z-block base, Beauty suddenly snapped and started going along with the series insanity, scaring the crap out of Heppokomaru. Eventually, when Bobobo and Don Patch finally got back into the screen, she went back to normal. This was never mentioned again, nor did it ever happen again.

** AmericansHateTingle: A lot of more "[[SeriousBusiness serious]]" anime [[StopHavingFunGuys fans]] hated the series due to it being balls-out crazy. Sadly, thanks to these guys, the series gained a bad reputation in the part of the OccidentalOtaku community that gives dubbers the most money: the {{Shonen}} and {{Moe}} fans.
*** It's odd how a series this good keeps getting overlooked when series like ''QueensBlade'' are fairly popular. Maybe it's because {{Fanservice}} was one of the show's favorite parody targets, and was pretty light on actual {{Fanservice}}...

Boobs of steel does not apply to any big breasted Action girl. The trope is for cases where the strongest physical female fighter in a group and/or cast has the largest breasts.
