Boobs of Steel

The middle girl is the brawler. Her breasts say so.^note There's also the boxing gloves she's wearing, but let's face it, you probably haven't even noticed those, have you?

"Guess the size of a woman's bust is a measuring stick for how strong they are, huh?"

— Rei Hiroe, Black Lagoon

The tendency for the strongest physical female fighter in a group or cast to also have the largest breasts. Some of the reasons for this trope are discussed on the Analysis page.

A physically strong female without Boobs of Steel is most likely a Cute Bruiser.

Note that this trope is not common enough to list aversions. Unless it is lampshaded, it is just an ignored trope. Also note that in general, this is limited to one or two examples per work.

Not related to Balls of Steel, which is about being immune to a Groin Attack. Compare and contrast with Most Common Superpower. See also Amazonian Beauty for when a muscular female is portrayed as attractive and Buxom Beauty Standard for when having larger breasts is portrayed as attractive.

Examples

Anime & Manga

• 3×3 Eyes has a notable inversion near the end: after the resurrection of Kaiyanwang, three members of his guards are females, namely Hamu, Elora and Kelara. Hamu is the most powerful warrior of the trio thanks to her whipswords and ability to turn invisible and undetectable, but also has the smallest pair of breasts, while the huge-breasted Kelara is The Load for the bad guys to the point that upon seeing her the good guys claim that the villain is running out of good servants.
• Botan from 7 Seeds has the biggest breasts out of the female character and is the best-prepared fighter out of her team's members.
• Air Gear has Rika who, out of the Noyamano sisters, is the most physically capable, the most skilled Storm Rider, and a professional wrestler. Needless to say, she has the largest chest in the series. Her sister Ringo is just as badass as she is, and her tits are only a little smaller.
• Most of the female characters in Akame ga Kill! have large busts, and are incredibly powerful (though there are some women who aren't as well endowed, but are still very powerful); good examples being Akame herself, who usually One-Shots her opponents and is incredibly fast, and General Esdeath, who is constantly said and shown to be one of the strongest (and most well endowed) characters in the series, only matched by Great General Budo, Bulat, Wave, when he's using Grand Chariot in tandem with Mastema, Tatsumi, when he forces Incursio to evolve during a battle against her, and Akame in the anime, after she activates Murasame's Trump Card, which has so far only been shown to enhance Akame's power to that of Esdeath's level.
• Narumi from Between Heaven And Hell is built like a brick house, rivals her mother in bra size despite looking barely old enough to drink yet despite such shapely thickness proves such's as much "Lightning" as "Bruiser" in covering half a room in a single Flash Step then chain-wrestling the protagonist's ass from her sister's room to the next like he's nothing and was poised to God knows what she was going to do with his dick in her hand before he grabbed her by said boobs of steel to tame her.
• In the swimsuit special for Black Lagoon, Rei Hiroe described this trope and commented on how most of his characters adhered to it — on Roberta's page, he wrote "Her bust is huge, so you can imagine just how powerful she is."
• Bleach: Three of the female Arrancar fall into this category. The most notable is Tier Harribel, the third most powerful of the Espada and was more or less tied with Toshiro who is a Captain Shinigami. Then there is Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck who is comparable to Harribel in both power and bust size. Franceska Mila Rose, a member of Harribel's Fraccion, who has a large bust (she even looks like a darker-skinned version of Rangiku Matsumoto) and a Ressureccion form that transforms her into an Amazon-like warrior with lion features.
  • One of the captains of the original Gotei 13 was a bespectacled naginata user with visibly enormous rack, and considering how the originals was said to be the strongest of all Gotei 13 generations, this trope was a given.
• Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without a Fight!:
  • Protagonist Haebaru Misora is a karate black belt who works as a gravure model in a trio dubbed "Japan KGB" after their cup sizes. She's the K-cup, and has had problems finding sports bras in her size.
  • Nosaka Nagisa is a female rikishi with G-cups who joins Misora's agency to model. She is the first character in the entire series to actually beat Misora in a fair fight, during her audition.
• In Brave10, Anastasia is the best female fighter, and her ninja prowess rivals her bust size. Ironically, she thinks it'd be a lot easier for her if she had smaller boobs.
• Cells at Work! CODE BLACK has their variation of the first host body's Neutrophils, an Amazon Brigade that maintain virus control in the human body and also have the biggest breasts in the setting. The main Neutrophil, U-1196, is also one of the most well-endowed girls in the primary cast.
• Kallen of Code Geass. Undoubtedly, she is the most endowed, and she's easily the most physically active member of the Black Knights, being their elite mech pilot. In fact, she's pretty much the only woman in their ranks who's involved in any actual fighting.
  • She's physically stronger than the vast majority of men in the series. Her superhuman strength isn't on the same level as Suzaku or cyborg Jeremiah, but she's not that far behind him either.
  • Cornelia is easily the most active and fierce princess, and also one of the bustiest.
• Satella Harvenheit from Chrono Crusade has the most physical (and for a while, spiritual) strength of all the women, and makes her Boobs of Steel very clear to anyone with eyes.
• This is a recurring theme in Cool-Kyou Shinsha's works, where breasts tend to be a Mark of the Supernatural.
  • Komori of Komori-san Can't Decline! is much bustier than the other students, and she's also the strongest. Like, really strong.
  • Played fairly straight in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. Lucoa is implied to be the strongest named character (being a former goddess and one of the people responsible for creating Earth), and is so busty that it almost defies physics. Tohru and Elma are fairly close chest-wise, and roughly equal in power. If you really wanted to push it, Kobayashi herself is very flat-chested, and the weakest female in the main cast (the only non-dragon).
  • All of the mononoke in Mononoke Sharing (barring Oi-chan) have large breasts, though the largest by far would be Momi, a super strong oni and one of Lucoa's contemporaries.
  • Metsuko ni Yoroshiku has Akikio, who is a super strong schoolgirl much like Komori (though completely different in terms of looks and personality). She is yet another one of the gods who created the world, though she is unaware of her divine status.
• Dr. STONE: Niki Hanada has the biggest bust in the series — even bigger than Ruri and Minami — so, naturally, she's also the physically strongest girl. She's even able to bruise up the likes of Taiju with her punches.
  • The American team has Maya Biggs, a boistorous bruiser that acts as muscle for Xeno, and has the rack to back it up.
• Fabricant 100: One of No 100's clear characteristics beside her strength is her very large breast size.
• Although many female characters in Fairy Tail are well-endowed, few can compare with Erza Scarlet. Aside from having an awesome rack, with her Requip magic and her physical prowess, Erza is the most badass female member in all Fairy Tail.
• Fullmetal Alchemist has Major General Olivier Armstrong, whose uniform is too tight in the chest. Her badassery can only be matched by Izumi Curtis, who is also very well endowed. Riza Hawkeye is probably the third most capable female soldier, and to no surprise, she is also very busty under her uniform.
• In the Full Metal Panic! universe, compare the athletic prowess of Mao, Kaname, and Tessa. And then compare their figures, as demonstrated during their considerable time nude together.
• Gangsta.: Ginger the Twilight has breasts big enough that they have their own sound effects, along with skills frightening enough to make her an elite member of the Twilight mercenary guild.
• Heather in Harem Royale - When the Game Ends - has the largest breasts out of the main cast and is also an athlete.
• Headhunted to Another World: Ulmandra is quite well-endowed and strong enough in both physical combat and fire magic to destroy flocks of wyverns single-handedly (a feat that would normally take a whole army), though she pales in comparison to the Demon Overlord himself.
• In Heaven's Lost Property, Astraea, the Angeloid with the biggest bust, is also the best fighter (melee combat specialist) of the Angeloids, even when compared to Ikaros who is slightly smaller. Equal to Astraea is Sohara, which has a Megaton Punch (main character says she has the biggest breasts in the country).
• Seras Victoria from Hellsing has the largest and roundest bust of any female character in the series and she’s also the strongest female character in the cast having been sired by Alucard himself.
• Hungary of Hetalia: Axis Powers is a rather busty Ninja Maid. Belarus and Belgium are also noted to have these, though unlike Hungary it has yet to be lampshaded.
• Juuni Senshi Bakuretsu Eto Ranger has Tart, a tomboy who is the best physical fighter of the female characters and sports an ample bust. She is also an anthropomorphic chicken, which is likely not a coincidence.
• Most of the cast of Kill la Kill is pretty well endowed, but the award for breast size probably goes to Ragyo, who is also able to take on any member of the cast without breaking a sweat.
• In 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'.
• The title character from The Legend of Mother Sarah qualifies doubly. First, due to being an unusually tall Action Mom and a more-than-decent brawler with aptly ample bosoms. And secondly, due to her steel, prosthetic right-breast.
• Maken-ki!:
  • Azuki is the series' foremost example, sporting an F-Cup. She's their unarmed combat specialist and, as an A rank ability user, she's acknowledged as one of the strongest girls at Tenbi Academy.
  • Chacha's rack is 1 cm larger and she's possibly Azuki's match in terms of raw power and fighting ability, given she effortlessly split a table in two during an arm wrestling match versus an opponent twice her size.
  • But their principal, Minori, is the undisputed champion — with an I-Cup rack and she's got power to spare. She's so freakishly strong that she was able to physically rip apart one of Minerva's barriers, which was thought to be impossible. And was able to punch Ouken Yamato through a cliff wall, despite having been weakened!
• Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit: Balsa is well-endowed and has the feminine muscle that comes from years of spear wielding. Her fighting ability is such, that she was only surpassed by her late master, Jugiro.
• Musuko ga Kawaikute Shikataganai Mazoku no Hahaoya: Lorem's bust is an impressive sight that regularly gets noticed by characters with A-Cup Angst like Chiharu and Valentine. She is also a famously powerful demon whose very breath is so hot it makes at least one other demon see her life flash before her eyes and she, along with several certified badasses, back down immediately when they realize just who they're up against.
  Merii (after Lorem displays her power): She isn't just someone with massive boobies.
• Tsunade from Naruto. She's physically the strongest female character (emphasis on "female", though most of the series she was the physically strongest character period) introduced in the series yet, and can beat the snot out of guys her own age and relative skill level. With ease. And in the fight with Kabuto, at least in the manga, she recovers fast from an attack that cut off her air, and he wonders how that happened, and focuses his gaze at her chest.
• Boa Hancock of One Piece has the largest breasts (relative to her size) of perhaps the entire cast. Therefore, she obviously kicks the most ass.
• In Outlaw Star, the female with the most physical strength, and physically strongest member of the main cast, is the obviously well endowed Aisha.
• Stocking, in Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt, is the melee fighter of the duo (for a given definition of melee, as she wields swords but resorts to Razor Wind very often). She also has the bigger breasts, allegedly because all the weight she gains from the sweets she eats goes to her boobs.
• Meiko from Prison School, in terms of physical strength, is the strongest student at her school. Accomplishing such feats are effortlessly breaking a restroom stall with one kick, winning five arm wrestling matches against boys in a row, and 49 pull-ups just using her fingers. She also has the largest breasts in the series, with most character not even close to half her size.
• In the Project A-Ko Alternate Universe OVA The Vs., the bounty hunter Liza is quite busty◊, and she gives A-ko a run for her money in hand-to-hand combat.
• Inverted in Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Tomoe Mami, the Magical Girl who has the largest bust of the five casts and huge arsenal of muskets, died fairly early right at Episode 3 by decapitation, as well as being revealed the most weak-minded individual contrary to her appearance at the later episodes, while the two strongest Magical Girls are both A-Cups and slim: Homura Akemi^note technically Homura was weaker than Mami in terms of magical power, however her sheer pragmatic strategies can compensate her lack of offensive magic, who can utilise military firearms and Time Travel, and Madoka Kaname, who is the most innocent and mentally stable individual and can undo Kuybey's plan of corrupting the Magical Girls by becoming a Reality Warper.
• Played with during the events of Puella Magi Madoka Magica The Movie: Rebellion, as Mami and Homura go up against one another and the former shows she's more than capable of keeping pace with Homura and eventually winning, but Homura still shows she's on the high end of the power scale when she becomes the Devil and steals Madoka's powers.
• Cattleya from Queen's Blade sports a bust far larger than the rest of the cast and as far as raw strength goes, she's far stronger than the rest of the cast as well. She's also very muscular, a true Amazonian Beauty.
• The art-style of Ranma ½ generally leaves the precise buxomness of the female cast rather ambiguous, but there are three characters generally accepted as fitting this trope. That said, 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.
  • In his female form, Ranma is generally accepted as being short but remarkably top-heavy, considerably outsizing Akane Tendo to the point it's a (comical) plot point in a late-series chapter that even after a growth spurt, Akane is still several sizes smaller than Ranma. As the series protagonist, Ranma is also a master martial artist with Super Strength, even if there are physically stronger or more dangerous characters in c anon.
  • Ranma's unwanted Chinese Amazon fiancee Shampoo is widely accepted as both the most voluptuous of Ranma's three fiancees, and she is very clearly the strongest of them, even if her Super Strength is inferior to Ranma's own. This is a girl who casually breaks through walls to enter rooms.
  • Miss Hinako Ninomiya, in her adult form, is very well-endowed, with the effect admittedly exaggerated by the tightly fitting shirt she has to wear to cope with her shifting from adult to child. She's not conventionally skilled at martial arts, but is a very dangerous foe thanks to her unique technique, the Happo Satsus, which allow her to suck the life out of her foes by draining off their Battle Aura. This pretty much instantly incapacitates anyone hit by hit, and if she misses, she can launch drained energy as a Kame Hame Hadoken.
  • Zigzagged with one-shot villainess Rouge; in her harmless human form, she has a fairly sizable chest, but her transformation into the fire-breathing, lightning-throwing six-armed three-faced Asura seems to result in her chest slimming down.
• Cool Big Sis Julia from Rave Master is the sole female melee fighter in the group and also has the largest breasts.
• In Reborn to Master the Blade, Inglis and Leone are some of the most physically strong fighters and largely prefer getting up close and personal. They also have some of the largest busts in the cast.
• Saber Marionette J, with Boisterous Bruiser Bloodberry being the bustiest of the three female protagonists, and recon specialist Cherry is the complete opposite.
• Sailor Jupiter of Sailor Moon is physically the strongest of the sailor soldiers and is certainly "the most talented."
• Sakakikido Tsukiko, the main character of Samurai High School. She's easily the strongest and the bustiest person in her school, and her goal is to be supreme commander. Unfortunately, she has to switch places with her twin brother as there are gender restrictions.
• In Sekirei, the most powerful Sekirei tend to be the bustiest, though this isn't a hard and fast rule, with characters such as Kuu, Benitsubasa and Karasuba being extremely powerful, but also modestly endowed. Sekirei also appear to place great importance on breast size and treat it as Serious Business.
• Lalaco Godspeed from Space Patrol Luluco is the bustiest character in the show (not that it's that difficult, seeing as there's only one other adult woman) and spends most of her introductory episode Curb-Stomping the main cast.
• Suguha Kirigaya, from Sword Art Online, 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.
• Granart from Tales of Wedding Rings has the largest bust of the five ring princesses. She's also the best physical fighter of the group, being the princess of a warrior culture, and was unquestionably the strongest of the group until Amber came along.
• Kiyoko Aura, from Tokyo Ghoul. She's known as the strongest female Investigator, and the first woman to make Special Class. Even modestly dressed, she's visibly much larger than the other women working for the CCG.
• Torako, the title character of Torako, Anmari Kowashicha Dame da yo is a Lethal Klutz that doesn't know her own strength. Even in a school full of delinquents, she's the biggest, strongest, and bustiest of the main characters. An omake page comparing the main girls' chest sizes puts her at the top and outright calls her "too big".
• Variable Geo: With the majority of the cast ranging from C to D-Cups and being that they're all combat waitresses, the trope applies to everyone (excluding Manami). However, Yuka Takeuchi and Erina Goldsmith sport the biggest breasts of the bunch, with Yuka also being one of the strongest competitors overall.

Comic Books

• 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 bigger than her head, thanks to enormous breast implants. She's described as "Ellen Ripley with silicone."
• The DCU:
  • Power Girl is canonically the bustiest superheroine in the DC universe and, as a Kryptonian, she's got all the powers of 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.
  • Wonder Woman has the second largest bust of all the heroines in the DCU and since there are only a handful of heroines that are stronger than her, she is almost guaranteed to be the hardest hitting female in any team up.
  • In Elseworld's Finest: Supergirl & Batgirl, Supergirl and Batgirl team up and become a crime-fighting team. Supergirl is the strongwoman of the duo, and her breasts are bigger than Batgirl's.
  • Katharsis of The Movement is most skilled in combat of the titular group; able to take on several opponents at once and shrug off tasers. She also has the largest bust out of all the female members.
  • Gen¹³'s Caitlin Fairchild. In fact, she acquired the Most Common Superpower at the same exact time that she acquired the Super Strength and Nigh-Invulnerability that would make her the team powerhouse.
  • Grace Choi of The Outsiders is an Amazonian Beauty with superhuman strength and a large bust.
  • Teen Titans: Starfire and Donna Troy were the bustiest and physically strongest characters in The New Teen Titans era. Cassie Sandsmark, the second Wonder Girl, also possesses super strength and was drawn with a rather buxom figure in the 2000s.
• Marvel Universe:
  • She-Hulk is confirmed to be the bustiest superheroine in the Marvel Universe and as far as physical strongest goes she's one of the strongest characters in the universe, frequently playing the role of The Big Guy on most of her teams.
  • 'Big' Bertha Crawford, of the Great Lakes Avengers, is also suitably busty - and only grows more so in her fully fattened size. There's a reason she calls herself the "Ample Amazon".
  • Battle of the Atom gives us a grown-up version of Molly Hayes; she has both the biggest bust and the most combat-oriented power on her team of future X-Men.
• In Transmetropolitan, Yelena (who is the less-action-oriented of Spider's Filthy Assistants) says she'd have to be hit in the back with two cruise missiles to fill out a dress the way Channon (whose specific responsibility is bodyguarding) does.
• Über: One of the eponymous Nazi Super Soldiers is Sieglinde, a tall, very buxom woman who possesses physical abilities on par with an evil Kryptonian. There are various other Action Girls in the comic (such as her Soviet counterpart Katyusha Maria), but they are more modestly endowed. This also makes Sieglinde a prime target for in-universe Nazi propaganda.
• By late in the X-Wing Rogue Squadron comics Plourr Ilo is both the bustiest and one of the most muscular characters present. Her squadmate Xarcce is at least her equal in strength and is even more muscular with little to no bust, but Xarcce is an alien woman whose body is drawn more masculine than feminine.

Comic Strips

• Generally, in the heroic fantasy comic Torkan, the most endowed (and/or scantily-clad) woman in the storyline would be both really strong and the Girl of the Week. Actually lampshaded in one storyline, in which the girl's first appearance was disguised as a man complete with sensible armor and helmet: when she 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.

Fan Works

• Blessed with a Hero's Heart: Aside from Darkness herself, Izuku gains ownership of a Gator demihuman woman who he names Liza, who is pretty stacked and strong enough to bite through steel.
• Tytanna Johnson of The Bridge: Humanity's Stand, having been genetically engineered from the ground up, was designed by her Mad Scientist mother Joanne Johnson to be the best. This includes not only her immense strength, enough to brawl with the biggest, nastiest kaiju around, but also with a bustline that puts many buxom women to shame.
• Child of the Storm has a teenage Carol Danvers growing into this and an Amazonian Beauty (she's from a comparatively busty family and much to her chagrin, she developed early). She fights like a brawler, before and after she becomes a Super Soldier. It's demonstrated that as an adult, Diana will be this during a temporary Plot-Relevant Age-Up, but as a 12/13 year old, she's more of a Cute Bruiser.
• Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Fifth Path: Unlike her outfit, which the author claims has been nerfed, Byleth's large bust carries over from the 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.
• A Green Dragon's Hoard: Partially due to being twice the height of any woman in her class, Yamato has a bust far larger than any of her classmates and is at worst the second strongest woman in her class. The only one who might be stronger is Melissa Shield who is the current holder of One For All.
• Several female characters in One Punch Man: Hero's Harem become bustier as they get stronger and the strongest female character by far is the Deep Sea Queen (sister of the Deep Sea King) who is also the most buxom and whose Super Mode is both stronger and bustier still.
• Alex Harris of Origin Story, being a magically created clone of Power Girl possesses the legendary oversized breasts of the woman she is cloned from. And she lives in the Marvel Universe, which means that in the universe of Origin Story, it is Alex and not She-Hulk who is the bustiest superheroine around. And since she is a Kryptonian in a world where "super-strength" is measured on a smaller scale, she's also the strongest person on earth, male or female.
• Pokémon Reset Bloodlines:
  • Subverted amongst Ash's female companions. Iris, who is the most physically capable member of the group, is notably less endowed compared to Misty (who has a curvy figure similar to her older sisters), while Anabel is the least physically fit of the three and is implied to be modestly endowed herself.
  • Played straight with Belladonna, who amongst her harem is the toughest (and most ruthless) fighter, and also the bustiest.
• Violet Kincaid from Roman's Empire has constantly been noted to be very busty. She's also able to take down three armed men at once on her own without a scratch. She is even able to take on Neopolitan and win! A feat only accomplished so far by Raven Branwen (who ironically has a smaller bust than her daughter).
• Inverted in Stallion of the Line 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 Ranko has the smallest bust and is the strongest fighter of the entire crew — quite ironic, since Ranma is generally regarded as the bustiest of the girls in his base series.
• Unbreakable Red Silken Thread: Jasmine has these just like in canon. In chapter 11 she confirms they're a 42DD, she is also probably the strongest character in the entire story so far.
• In the Watchmen Rule 63 community, (yes, there is one) Edy and Joan are usually portrayed as being quite busty, whereas Wanda and Adriene are depicted as flat-chested. Danielle also tends to be large-chested, but that has more to do with her weight.
• Poster girl up above, Tifa Lockheart, maintains this position in Seventh Endmost Vision; she specifically mentions that she was the largest-breasted woman in SOLDIER, and physically she's one of the most powerful characters in the entire fic. In a mild combo of Deconstructed Trope and Surprisingly Realistic Outcome, this led to several issues for Tifa. She had to have her bras special-made, and it's mentioned that only her Super Strength from becoming a SOLDIER kept her from having severe back problems. Shinra suggested the obvious solution of breast reduction surgery; Tifa refused, because her mother's family was always a line of full-figured, busty women, and since Tifa never really got to know her mother, keeping the figure felt like a way to keep a connection with her.
  • This trope is still biting Tifa in the ass in the fic's present day; unlike when she was with SOLDIER, where they'd make her the special bras she requires, she's only got one left and it's the one she's wearing. She even wonders if maybe she could find one of her old bras in the junkyards of Sector Seven at one point.
• Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse:
  • As in canon, Female Ranma and Shampoo are top-heavy young ladies with Super Strength and mastery of Supernatural Martial Arts. Shampoo even becomes an Empowered Badass Normal when she eats a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, and since said fruit is the Rabbit-Rabbit, she jokingly wonders if it might translate to her getting even bustier in the future.
  • Ryoga Hibiki gets his own Gender Bender curse at one point, and to Ranma's chagrin, he comes an Amazonian Beauty who is not only clearly taller than Ranma's female form, but also more buxom.
  • Miriam Ransdottir is implied to have a massive bustline. Whilst it's partially due to her being over four meters tall, it's implied that her breasts are huge even in proportion to her build.

Films — Live-Action

• Aliens: Has Vasquez ever been mistaken for a man? Not by anyone with eyes. Ironically, Jeanette Goldstein strapped down significantly to be believable in the part.
• In The Dictator, Etra, the "virgin guard" with the enormous boobs, is also the most physically aggressive, and she uses said boobs as weapons.
• In Dungeons & Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God, the strongest warrior is Lux, the tall, busty barbarian. The other two significant female characters are both waspishly slender spellcasters.
• Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!. Varla is enormously endowed, but she keeps her breasts caged in her leather breastplate, and God help you if you cross her.
• In the Marvel Cinematic Universe Black Widow is the best melee fighter and thanks to being played by Scarlett Johansson suitably busty as well. Another stacked brute is Peggy Carter, played by Hayley Atwell. Then comes Brie Larson's Captain Marvel, the only one who isn't a Badass Normal - she starts as a pure brawler, and remains somewhat physical as she prefers flying into things. She eventually escalates to punching out space warships.

Literature

• In the Conan the Barbarian spinoff trilogy "Anok, Heretic of Stygia", Anok's closest female friends are Fallon, a huge-breasted warrior, and Sheriti, a small-breasted scribe.
• When the premier illusionist of The Stormlight Archive, Shallan Davar, sets out to create a warrior persona for herself, the text notes that the illusion she creates makes her taller, more regal, and bustier. Perhaps justified in that the persona is something of a mashup of Shallan (who is only 17) and her mentor Jasnah, who is older, taller, more regal, and bustier.
  • Interestingly, the Alethi people are a natural Proud Warrior Race, and their women are noted for having much curvier body with larger busts than most other races' women. While they aren't warriors in the current day and age due to strict gender roles, their ancestors were once a people devoted entirely to warfare and defending the other kingdoms.
  • This is inverted for the Parshendi. The Parshendi can switch between different "forms" with particular specializations, such as the agile nimbleform or the sturdy workform. Their primary warrior type is warform, which has few distinguishing characteristics between the male and female forms. On the other hand, mateform has large and noticeable curves and plumpness to it, but mateform is almost incapable of doing anything violent.
• In Tales of an Mazing Girl, Sarah Jennings is the most buxom of the characters and the most powerful woman in the world.
• Out of the main cast of Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle, Celis and Philuffy are the strongest and also the most buxom.
• Justified in Wax and Wayne, by the same author. MeLaan is a kandra, a kind of Blob Monster shapeshifter, who can make herself as muscular or buxom as she wants. As a six-foot tall Amazon immune to most kinds of damage, she's one of the two primary physical fighters on the team. The breasts come in handy, too; Wax discovers that she's a kandra when she splits open her breasts and takes out a gun.

Live-Action TV

• The well-endowed Sara Lance is the most experienced Action Girl in the Arrowverse.
• Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
  • Buffy's stunt double was considerably heavier than Sarah Michelle Gellar. The disparity was somewhat concealed by camera angles but in the DVD commentary for "Lovers Walk", Joss Whedon remarks at one point, "Here we see Buffy strapping on her fightin' boobs."
  • Faith, the third slayer introduced is definitely an example likely to be in-universe and invoked. Being played by busty Eliza Dushku may say it all to those who are familiar.
• Sam Puckett from iCarly is the strongest character known in the series and at the end of the series, she has the biggest bust size by far.
• The I-Land: Our protagonist Chase is the bustiest of the women on the island, and also the most dangerous, being adept in martial arts and shown to fight off several men.
• Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Kat's well-endowed and willing to get physical with perps and does so skillfully, more than Olivia or Amanda (it helps that she's younger). Speaking of Olivia, her cup size grew quite noticeably following Mariska Hargitay's real life pregnancy between Seasons 7 and 8. However having a more ample bosom has done little to slow down Benson's character when it comes to chasing after and subduing perps.
• The Outpost: Talon is the most buxom of the women on the show, and also a highly skilled fighter, by far the best among the main female characters.
• Pandora: Jax is by far the most skilled female fighter (at least on the good guys' side), and also has the largest breasts.
• Star Trek:
  • Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager. As a former Borg drone she is physically more formidable than even half-Klingon B'Elanna. She wears a skintight catsuit at all times and her "Borg Spheres" are the largest of any female character on the show.
  • Likewise, T'Pol on Star Trek: Enterprise. As a Vulcan, she is physically stronger than any of the humans on the ship. Coincidentally, she is also the only one wearing skintight spandex that showcases her breasts as her normal uniform.
• Lt. Vanessa James of Stargate Universe. She's buxom enough for some of the male characters to try to hide a Kino in the showers, and she's tough enough that they don't try a second time.
  "I can and will kick your ass."
• Tidelands (Netflix): Leandra is the bustiest and also probably the most competent female fighter in the cast.
• Trina Vega from Victorious has been shown to have some impressive physical strength and skill in martial arts. She's also one of the bustier girls in the cast, with the show making several jokes about it.
• Wonder Woman (1975): Wonder Woman is, by far, the strongest, fastest, and most skilled fighter on the show. She not only beat out all of the other amazons of Paradise Island for the privilege to become Wonder Woman, but she was so powerful that most of her fights were over before they even started. No one - not Etta, Eve, Fausta the Nazi Wonder Woman, nor any of the other amazons could measure up to her standard.

Pro Wrestling

• Bayley has a power-based Finishing Move and a lot of the move set in her arsenal are heavy-hitters. Unlike the usual examples in this trope, however, her bust size was often hidden and never emphasized due to her gimmick as a face requiring her to be a Kid-Appeal Character (and before the gimmick she was a technical-flier).
• Charlotte Flair post-implants. She already used a lot of heavy-hitting moves and bigger breasts changed nothing.
• Emma is well-endowed and has the sex appeal to match, though her preferred moves are more technical rather than power-based.
• Jacqueline is mostly a power and rough neck wrestler and she also happens to have, well, nice assets.
• Kaitlyn, a very well-endowed woman who also happens to be a power wrestler.
• Kanako Urai is a hard-hitting wrestler, and she is also surprisingly stacked. Her breasts have been subjected to mockery and assault by Lin Byron, Police~Woman, Yumi Ohka and many other less endowed and less strike proficient women. Hikaru Shida tried to stand and brawl with Kana and lost pretty handily, though averted in the case of Kana's self-proclaimed Arch-Nemesis Sayuri Kondo, who is even more of brawler, being a kick and shoot boxer, but less endowed.
• Luna Vachon has been a brawler, at multiple different points, at one point having her own personal hardcore championship belt, and she was also one of the first woman wrestlers on television with a noticeable bust... if one that was overshadowed by Jacqueline's...
• Natalya Neidhart has a balanced technical and power-based move set. Even when she has brawled her assets only become notable on Southpaw Regional Wrestling where she plays a character wearing a revealing leotard.
• Nikki Bella. Her finisher is even called "The Rack Attack".
• ODB takes this trope further than most. Not only is she a strong lady with big boobs, but in OVW, when Beth Phoenix hit ODB in the chest, it hurt Phoenix's hand! For reference, this is the same Beth Phoenix who was able to lift both ODB and Serena Deeb for a double Samoan drop. In TNA, ODB let Cody Deaner use her boobs as speed bags while she was training him.
• Tiffany is the brawler of the Power Trio Las Brujas and the biggest boobed of them. This was downplayed when they took on the Reina Tag Team Champions Syuri Kondo and La Silueta, as Kondo could go blow for blow with but Silueta quickly crumbled from Tiffany's blows.
• WOAD visually invokes this trope, as she usually caries a ball n' chain to the ring and her shirt is usually fashioned to make her breasts look like the balls of two more chains. She is more of a brawler than a wrestler, prefers slams and suplexes when she does grapple but was a little outmuscled by Vanessa Kraven The Giant and Jennacide.
• Becky Lynch's cup size grew quite noticeably during her 2021 return following her pregnancy the previous year. However, having a more ample bosom has done little to slow down "The Man" when it comes to in-ring action, with many even believing she improved.

Roleplay

• In the League of Intergalactic Cosmic Champions, Hamburger Pattie has big boobs and bulletproof skin.

Video Games

• Yuka in Advanced Variable Geo is one of the strongest fighters in the game, and has the largest bust of the female fighters.
• Marilyn Sue from Akatsuki Blitzkampf not only hits harder than any other female character, but also happens to be both stacked like pancakes and braless, all the better to bounce them.
• ANNO: Mutationem: Ann Flores, the protagonist, is skilled in martial arts and shown to have a well-endowed bust, and it's conveyed promptly when she's wearing her combat suit.
• Robot Girl Mei-Fang from Arcana Heart, being the physically largest playable character all around and strongest unarmed fighter. There is also Parace L'Sia, who is even more well-endowed than Mei-Fang, and one of the most overpowered boss characters in Fighting Game history.
• Azur Lane: Generally the heavier hitting ships have the largest busts. Destroyers are usually quite petite, cruisers and carriers are a bit of a mixed bag, but the battleships are stacked.
• In BANZAI PECAN: The Last Hope for the Young Century, French Vanilla is the most bustiest succubi of the Sexilicous Seven and she's also a wrestler. The game's titular heroine, Pecan Apple, is also stacked and she pulls no punches in delivering a beatdown to protect the peace of the world and her boyfriend, though Pecan is nowhere as busty as half the villains in the game.
• In the Battle Team Lakers series, Natsume is consistently the strongest (physically) of the eponymous team. And despite being a series of H-Games, she's the only one with notably large breasts. The others have "large-but-within-reason" busts typical of Silver Age comicbook heroines.
• BlazBlue:
  • Amidst the "three stooges" of NOL Academy, Makoto Nanaya is the most stacked, and also freakishly strong.
  • On the whole scale, Litchi Faye-Ling has the biggest boobs and not only does she have the biggest, most damaging Astral Heats (in the first 2 games), story-wise shows that under certain circumstances, she is able to overwhelm a gigantic cyborg like Tager.
• Asagi, Oren, and Sepia Belmont from Bombergirl are well-endowed among the game's Attacker class, however, Sepia takes the cake as she's one of the bustiest women in the game (her breasts are roughly the same size as her head) and wields a massive chainsaw in addition to the legendary Vampire Killer.
• Lita Halford from Brütal Legend is the most busty character in the game, which is saying a lot considering that all female characters in the game are large-breasted. She's also a very skilled warrior who fights with a large polearm. At one point of the game, she easily defeats the less-endowed Ophelia in single combat.
• Invoked in Bunny Must Die: One of the obtainable power-ups is a Playboy Bunny costume that increases Bunny's damage, defense, and gives her bountiful breasts. The last seems to multiply her body weight, suggesting they really are.
• Ayla the cavewoman from Chrono Trigger has the greatest strength of any party member. She can do more damage with her bare hands than Crono can with his Infinity +1 Sword (in terms of durability, the character that surpasses her is a machine). And the more you Level Grind them, the larger the strength gap between Ayla and everybody else gets. She’s also a Nubile Savage with less than a Fur Bikini. As Spekkio puts it, she might not get to use magic, but she makes up for it with other assets.
• In Code of Princess, the first three playable characters are the Bifauxnen Ali, the moderately-endowed necromancer Zozo, and the queen-sized Solange. Guess which one wields the 7-foot BFS?
• Darkstalkers manages to have two examples: first is succubus Morrigan Aensland who is well known for her 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 Cat Girl Felicia, who noticeably relies much more on sheer brute power and is officially the bustiest character in the franchise.
• Even by Dead or Alive standards, Tina Armstrong's boobs are huge, the largest of the ladies at 95cm (37 inches). And being a wrestler, she is the physically strongest. Then in Dead or Alive 5, Rachel was added to the roster who has a 96 cm (38 inch) bust, and is even stronger than Tina thanks to her demonic blood. LAst Round ups the ante again with Honoka, a schoolgirl with officially the biggest rack in the cast who borrows attacks from other fighters with a "mysterious power" implied to be because she's another bastard of Raidou's.
• In Devil May Cry Trish with her Navel-Deep Neckline is the bustiest member of the good guys and thanks to being a female demon is very strong and powerful.
• Disgaea:
  • All of the "human" recruitable women are flat-chested, except for the Magic Knights, Kunoichis, Cheerleaders, and Gunslingers, and various others. 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 Disgaea 4, due to the short, flat-chested Fuka being the Mighty Glacier of the main cast, has the highest physical attack power among them, and specializes in axe-type weapons.
  • This trope is negated in Disgaea 5 in terms of unique units; the physically strongest girl of the cast is Usalia, whose offensive stats are unimpressive but boasts the highest defensive capability of the entire cast ^note if you exclude Prinnical Meteor, whereupon she grabs and flings her moon-sized Prinny at the planet, versus Seraphina and Majorita. 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.
  • Disgaea 6 gives us zigzagged and straight examples in Melodia and Piyori respectively. 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 recruitable demons in the game. This demon has massive tracks of land to boot. Not to mention, they tend to be docile like real-life cows.
• Dragon Quest has had this happen a fair times.
  • In Dragon Quest V, the voluptuous Deborah has the highest physical strength of all the Hero's potential wives and can equip some of the heaviest weapons.
  • Dragon Quest XI has Jade, an incredibly busty martial artist who can devastate enemies with physical feats that would make Hercules proud. Funnily enough, she is also one of the only examples here who actually utilizes her large bust in battle, charming enemies into inaction.
• The Pirate captain Eiliff Thunderfist from Drakensang is the one of the strongest fighters in the game outside of the main party and has huge boobs.
• Dungeon Fighter Online:
  • The Female Fighter has almost only physical attacks in every subclass.
  • The Knight (moreso as the Elven Knight) is even bustier and "tankier" than the Female Fighter. Combine these facts with an array of shields and the fact that she can revive for free, and you will have one of the strongest characters in the game.
• The Elder Scrolls:
  • In Morrowind, characters only have one body model per race and gender, with bust size being proportionate to overall size. The largest races, the Nords and Orcs, are also the most physically gifted and their females have the largest breasts. Conversely, the smallest races, the Bretons and Bosmer (Wood Elves), have the smallest breasts and default toward being Squishy Wizards and Forest Rangers, respectively.
  • In Skyrim, the CharGen "weight" slider is more accurately described as a muscle mass/body frame slider, and for female characters, it's also a breast size slider. The character being created here is the one destined to defeat a malevolent black dragon whose active job is to destroy the whole world in order to create a new one.
• Aschen Brodel and Kaguya Nanbu from Endless Frontier both count. Aschen is a very powerful android but she's still beaten in the chest department by Kaguya "Dairy Cow Princess" Nanbu, who fights with a sword that's almost as big as her.
• Fate/Grand Order, 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 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 Noble Phantasm 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.
• Fairly common in Final Fantasy, with female characters this applies to being exempt from the series' usual rule where female characters specialize in magic.
  • As seen above, Tifa is the fighter in Final Fantasy VII, most reliant on the strength of her muscles. In the Final Fantasy VII Remake her chest size was reduced, but she is still highly well endowed keeping the trope in play.
  • Beatrix is easily the bustiest female character in Final Fantasy IX and nigh-invincible, being able to crush almost any enemy with one or two attacks.
• Fire Emblem:
  • The Blazing Blade features Vaida, the second-bustiest character in the game and the biggest playable lady; she's essentially a Blood Knight.
  • Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn have Lucia and Mia. Both are Action Girls with very sizable busts. In-universe both have reputations as highly competent fighters. There's also Nailah, who's the bustiest of the playable female characters and is also one of the most powerful characters in the game, and has an in-universe reputation to match.
  • Camilla from Fire Emblem Fates has the largest breasts of the females in that game, and is The Big Girl of the Nohr family, more than willing to kill for the sake of the others. Kagero from the Hoshido side is just as well-endowed, and has the highest strength growth in the game. There's also Charlotte, a Nohrian fighter strong enough in-story to kill giant hulking golems with her bare hands. Among the Second Generation women, Laslow's daughter Soleil is a Cute Bruiser with a nice rack and a good Strength growth and Camilla can potentially be her mother, giving her an even better Strength modifier.
  • Three Houses has the female Byleth, who is second only to Manuela in terms of bust size and is considered the most powerful character in the story. There's also Hilda, who ties for third place in bust size post-timeskip and is one of the physically strongest characters in the game. Lady Rhea hides hers well with her outfit, but as her Summer outfit in Heroes shows, she's as stacked as anyone else. She's also the Final Boss in two of the four routes.
• Played with in the first Galaxy Angel trilogy. The bustiest member of the Angel Wing is Forte Stollen, though while on foot she prefers using guns instead of getting physical, and while the resident martial artist, 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 has the highest firepower in the team, as well as the armor to take a beating, while Ranpha's Kung-Fu Fighter can dish it out, but not take it.
• Genshin Impact:
  • The Tall Female character type as a rule is this. All of them range from the large end of average to exceptional in terms of endowment, and all of them are very strong either in terms of weapon damage, elemental damage, or both. Even among them, Lisa, Kujou Sara, and Rosaria stand out as bigger than the rest. And while Eula isn't quite as top heavy as them, she's one of the few female characters to use Claymores.
  • For Medium Female characters, Ganyu, Keqing, and Noella are bustier than normal and like any other playable character are strong and competent fighters. Keqing and Noelle in particular have great Attack and HP for their size category, while Ganyu has Talents that give bonuses to Cryo damage that stack up quickly.
• Lily has the largest chest among the Hometown Story females and is a blacksmith. An event involving her also demonstrates that she's actually the strongest person in the whole village, beating in a test of strength the two male villagers who consider themselves the strongest.
• Hyperdimension Neptunia:
  • In V, Yellow Heart fights with kicks and clawed punches, and her skills have the most "brute force" feeling of the CPUs. Lots of hard blunt hits and explosions. She also has the stockiest build. She's busty enough (101 centimeter I cup) to give Vert (who is a 95 centimeter G cup in Green Heart form) A-Cup Angst.
  • Past games inverted this. The bustiest, Vert, did most of her damage with magic. Noire and Neptune were a Magic Knight each, and painfully flat Blanc was the physical Stone Wall.
• In KanColle, a good rule of thumb is that battleships and carriers are particularly well-endowed and are some of the best ships you can have in your fleet.
• The King of Fighters and Fatal Fury have a good number of them, such as Mai Shiranui, Shermie, Angel, Blue Mary, and Vice (who are grappler/power characters). Also, in the first KOF Maximum Impact, Lien Neville (no official 3-sizes given) actually has the largest in-game breasts and is fittingly, the strongest female character. The final boss from the second Maximum Impact game, Jivatma, has "another model" that looks female and has probably the largest bust in the game. There's also Vanessa, introduced in The King of Fighters '99, who is notably busty, bounces quite a bit, and is a purely physical brawler.
• Aqua is hands down the greatest lady fighter in the entire Kingdom Hearts saga, and is the most powerful mage of both her own trio formed of Terra and Ventus, and of later playable characters, such as Sora and Riku. She also gets noticeable attention trained on her bust, like the frequent zooming in on her breasts and villain Hades's ogling her in her travels.
• In the side-scrolling beat'em up Knights of Valour the average-looking female mooks of the forest respond to the genre's stereotype: they use hit and run tactics, attack mostly using jump kicks, and are quite frail. In later stages of the game, mooks with larger breasts prove to be substantially tougher.
• Prier from La Pucelle has the largest breasts in that game and is probably the strongest physical fighter in the main cast, easily kicking down a steel door in one cutscene.
• The Trails Series can go on either end of the scale:
  • Azure plays this straight, as Rixia Mao is the only physical fighter of playable girls and has the largest chest among them.
  • Cold Steel I and II invert this for the students of Old Class VII, as Emma has the biggest chest, but is a magic powerhouse instead of a physical one.
  • Cold Steel III plays it straight again, as Juna Crawford is the bustiest among the girls of New Class VII and the most physically capable. And to a greater extent, Aurelia Le Guin is the bustiest and most physically powerful female character of the game's entire playable roster.
  • Agnes from Kuro is another inversion, being a healer and magic-user whose chest looks even bigger than those her fellow female party members.
• A franchise-wide version of this crops up in The Legend of Zelda: The Hyrule Warriors incarnation of Zelda is the most action-oriented one yet, fighting alongside Link on the battlefield. She's also bustier than all previous versions of her character.^note Of course, given the series that the spinoff is based on, a Fanservice Pack is expected.
• Salome of Makai Kingdom is the most physically-oriented of the female cast members and is also the best-endowed.
• Marino from Mega Man X: Command Mission who is a Classy Cat-Burglar, and obviously the fighter compared to the other girl on the team and has the biggest bust in the game.
• Muramasa: The Demon Blade has this in the form of Raijin, a hugely muscular woman who is more than happy to squish (or zap) Momohime Jinkuro. Interestingly enough, she has a "cute girl" sitting posture if you knock her down, and an implied thing for her co-god Fujin (who appears as a tiny green imp).
• Persona 5: Ann, Haru, and Makoto, who all serve as frontline fighters, each have fairly large breasts. Meanwhile, Futaba, who is your non-battle Mission Control, is an A-Cup.
  • However if one were to compare just the frontliners, Haru, who can be considered "in the middle" but still fairly busty, is actually the strongest at level 99 with a 69 in Strength over Makoto's 64 and Ann's 55.
  • Inverted in Royal with Kasumi. Many of her skills are Physicals and her base Strength is larger than Haru's by two points, but she has a very slender build.
• In Phantasy Star Online, it's possible to change the size of the female characters' breasts. The HUnewearl, a melee specialist, get the biggest growth.
• Radiant Historia features Raynie, the bustiest of your three female members and by far the sturdiest with a moveset focused on dealing large amounts of damage directly to a target. Compare to the more petite and incredibly fragile Eruca, who focuses on status effects and weak, but hard to resist non-elemental spells; and Token Mini-Moe Aht, whose traps have a higher damage output, but require other party members to knock enemies into them.
• Resident Evil
  • The original game gave us Jill Valentine, the only woman on STARS Alpha Team. Not only was she the squad's bomb disposal expert, but she was also the rear guard. Compare this to Rebecca Chambers, the only woman on STARS Bravo Team, a rookie and the team medic, a rather modest looking 18 year old. The R Emake made it even more noticeable by giving Jill Jiggle Physics.
  • In Resident Evil 2, 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 Dark Action Girl 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.
  • Resident Evil Village: 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 Giant Woman.
• 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 enormously endowed.
• In Seitenshi Yumiel, Yumi's breasts grow when she transforms into the eponymous Yumiel.
• In the Senran Kagura series Daidoji is one of the heaviest hitters and one of the strongest in the series being able to punch through time and space out of anger, she is the only one in the series who fights completely bare handed (besides Yozakura, who's breasts aren't nearly as big) and she (of course) has one of the largest breast sizes. There is also Haruka and Murasaki. Haruka doesn't hit as hard but her breasts are 1 centimeter smaller than Daidoji's. Murasaki has the biggest rack of everyone in the series (which is saying something) but has some of the lowest defense and doesn't have the strongest attacks.
• In the Soul Series, Statuesque Stunner and Knight Templar Ivy Valentine has an E-G breast size, largest of all female characters and one of the advanced fighters. And she's always been one of the strongest (though hardest to use) of either gender.
• Suikoden has several examples:
  • Suikoden has Ronnie Bell, who is called "the giant woman" for a damn good reason (she's at least seven feet tall and might actually be half-giant), and whose chest, due in part to her sheer size, is noticeably the largest of the entire cast. And she's a monstrous bruiser who fights with her fists.
  • Suikoden II has Oulan, who is by far the most stacked female in the game (she noticeably bounces in her battle animation) and one of the top five tanks in the game as well as a bruiser who can dish out absurd amounts of damage repeatedly if properly set up. She's a bodyguard, and does her job barehanded.
  • Suikoden V has Nikea, a Big Eater martial artist who keeps up the tradition of dealing tons of damage with just her fists. Also notable is Kisara, an Action Mom who passed on a great deal of 'talent' to her daughter, Lun.
• Lamia Loveless of Super Robot Wars Advance. She's probably the female character with the biggest boobs between all other Banpresto Originals thus far, and physically the strongest, despite not using her strength too much (being a mecha pilot and all) because... well... she's an android.
• Zero Suit Samus in Super Smash Bros. is the female fighter most reliant on punches, kicks, and acrobatics, and she's very busty compared to Peach and Zelda, even when all three of them received a Fanservice Pack in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
• Tales Series:
  • Judith, who is easily the best stacked of the three female PCs in Tales of Vesperia and is also the only girl to fight purely with physical skills^note  Estelle has Stone Wall stats and reasonably good fighting skills and the updated re-release introduces Patty who is capable of kicking a lot of butt with both physical skills and magic...and is the most slender since she's 14 years old.
  • In Tales of Hearts Innes Lorenz has an even larger bust and is also the token Mighty Glacier character. And she can also lift objects way heavier than she is, with ease. It's also lampshaded repeatedly, as first the Boobs Of Steel and her massive axe blade are the subject of an Innocent Innuendo skit. Later in another skit, Beryl theorizes about Innes' super strength, and the player is allowed to choose her guess: "It comes from her breasts!" or "Innes is a Mechanoid!"
  • Tales of Xillia has Milla, who has the biggest breasts out of the three female party members and is a badass herself. She even outstrips her sister, Muzét, in the sequel. And lampshaded by Elle, when Alternate Milla joins the party.
    Elle: You know, Milla. You have really big knockers.
  • Tales of Berseria plays it straight with the party's ladies. Velvet is the largest and has a short-range fighting style based around kicks and a hidden blade. Eleanor is a bit more modestly-sized and is a Magic Knight who uses a spear and malak artes. Magilou is so flat her skit paperdolls don't bother giving her any chest at all, and fights at a distance using her witchcraft.
  • Tales of Arise has Kisara, a guardsman for the relam of Elde Menencia. She only female member of the party with a focus on physical attacks, and (while more obvious in some of her alternate outfits than her standard armor) has the largest breasts as well.
• Fanart gives various powerful characters this in Touhou Project, but there's two canon examples: Yuugi, an Amazonian Beauty with both power and curves (supported by Word of God and a piece of officially commissioned art) and Byakuren who has visible curves in her Hopeless Masquerade art and sprite, which also has bouncing. It's also inverted with Suika, who's known for being flat and being about as strong as Yuugi.
• Tomb Raider: Lara Croft is probably the Ur-Example for videogames, as she is just as famous for dual-wielding pistols as she is for her bust.
• Troubleshooter: Abandoned Children: Alisa has the largest rack in the cast, is one of the heaviest hitters, specializes in mélee, and carries a personal weapon that makes the Buster Sword look positively dainty by comparison.
• Vanessa of Virtua Fighter not only has the biggest breasts of the female characters, but she's almost a Mighty Glacier.
• Xenoblade Chronicles 2 follows this with all forms of the Aegis, explicitly said to be the world's most powerful Blade: Pyra and Mythra are the two bustiest characters in the game (after Dahlia). The same applies to the Aegis' true form, Pneuma. The Ancestral Weapon 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 Navel-Deep Neckline. 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 an artificial blade.
• KOS-MOS from Xenosaga is physically the strongest of the playable characters and has the largest breasts.

Visual Novels

• Danganronpa:
  • Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc has its two most buxom ladies be the two whose Ultimate talent is physical — Aoi Asahina, the Ultimate Swimming Pro, and Sakura Ogami, the Ultimate Martial Artist. The other girls, including a model, a writer, a gambler, and an idol singer, are noticeably flatter.
  • In Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Akane Owari has easily the biggest bust and she is the physically strongest among the girls, except for possibly Peko Pekoyama, who has the second biggest bust and her talent is Ultimate Swordswoman.
• Among the cast of Fate/stay night, Leysritt is the biggest among all of the female characters and can wield a giant halberd with ease. She never actually fights in the Visual Novel, but according to notes, she's actually physically stronger than most of the Servants.
  • Spinoff media features Luviagelita Edelfelt, a mage and rival of Fate/stay night heroine Tohsaka Rin. Luvia is your basic blonde and curvaceous European who favors wrestling to the more petite Rin's Chinese boxing. A scene in the epilogue of the 2014 Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] anime amply demonstrated both differences, with the two engaging in a throwdown while wearing athletic spandex.
  • Fate/Zero and Fate/hollow ataraxia has Bazett Fraga McRemitz. She's quite well endowed and is also a master fighter even by magi standards. Thus she is true to the trope in every way.
• Higurashi: When They Cry: Out of the female cast, physical prowess increases with 'size'; Rika and Satoko are both the youngest (and the least developed); they rely on speed/evasion and traps (respectively) in fights. Rena is a Cute Bruiser at best, who relies on her cleaver to defeat enemies. Meanwhile, Mion, who is much bustier, is shown defeating the same enemies with her bare fists with relative ease.
• Majikoi! Love Me Seriously!, beyond being loaded with busty female fighters as a whole, displays this pattern among the five women in the main cast. From strongest to weakest: Momoyo, Yukie, Miyako, Chris, Kazuko. From largest bust to smallest: Momoyo, Miyako, Yukie, Chris, Kazuko.
• In Little Busters!, Kurugaya is by far the strongest of the female characters and also has by far the largest bust size.
• Arcueid of Tsukihime has the biggest bust out of the main cast and is by far the strongest character in the game, both in terms of physical strength and overall combat ability.
• In Yumina the Ethereal, Deele, the "strongest Ethereal in the galaxy", has the largest chest size out of all the females, with a low-cut top to accentuate them.

Web Animation

• RWBY's Yang Xiao Long is a powerhouse who uses Good Old Fisticuffs (her fighting style being too unrefined to be boxing despite seeming to have training in it) equipped with Ember Celica and is physically one of the strongest characters of the series, she also tops most of the adult women in the bust department.

Webcomics

• The Blonde Marvel has enormous breasts to match her Big Beautiful Woman physique, and has super-strength to match. She once fought a woman with even larger breasts, and was losing the fight until she used her opponent's magic cigarettes to enlarge her own breasts. She then won.
• Rayna Corrine of Charby the Vampirate and Here There Be Monsters has a noticeably larger bust than any of the other women who work as Monster Hunters and is also one of the most competent hunters outside of flashbacks.
• In The Crossworlds, the biggest boobs belong to Narhm, who also happens to be 'bout 7 feet tall (counting the horns) and muscled like a bodybuilder, thanks to her day job as a blacksmith. In combat, she wields a huge, two-handed warhammer with devastating effect.
• All women of Dominic Deegan gain a few cup sizes when fighting. Word of God confirms this as blatant Author Appeal.
• In Elf Blood, the best hand-to-hand fighter depicted so far, Carlita Delacroix, is also the bustiest.
• EVIL has Shiva Crimson, the most buxom female character and the only one strong enough to go head-to-head with Vincent Kahn.
• While most of the women of Girl Genius are rather well-endowed, the strongest and most skilled seem to have the biggest busts, like Pirate Queen Bangladesh DuPree and Zeetha.
• In El Goonish Shive, Nanase, Ellen and (by extension) Female Elliot are the best physical fighters of the main cast, and they also have the largest chests. Even Grace is fairly well-endowed, compared to Sarah, who combines A-Cup Angst with an undesired lack of powers. This is explained in-story in that characters with magic will often find that magic has enhanced one or more physical traits, leading another character to grow several inches taller, and Nanase's hair also grows rapidly at one point. Nanase is quite pleased with the idea that she literally has "magic boobs." Lampshaded here.
• 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, which is often a source of humor.
• Adharia Kuvoe is heavily implied to have the largest breasts of the female Last Res0rt cast and the fact that she's also a lion-esque centaur means she's already one of the larger cast members, period.
• Alice apparently has this boob based power according to this post of Loserz.
• Pella from Looking for Group has a somewhat credible physique; being muscular but not excessively ripped allows her ample tracts of land to be shown to their best advantage. Just don't put your hand on her shoulder.
• Damali in Love/Curse is by far the biggest, strongest and most buxom of the main the characters.
• DiDi in Ménage à 3 has a huge bust, and is astoundingly strong. She is so strong, at one point, she was mistaken for a drag queen.
• Katrina of The Noordegraaf Files 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.
• In Rascals, this is pretty much any ninja character, most notably Kyoko and Reiko.
• In Ronin Galaxy Leona dwarfs Taylor in cup size, making her, of course, the fighter-girl in the group.
• Rosebuds: Rosa is the strongest sister and is also the bustiest. It makes sense given she is the oldest of the three sisters, though this also extends to the comic as a whole given she outsizes every other female character seen.
• Scandinavia and the World: Sister Germany beats up men with her boobs. As Brother Finland says, women are to be respected, but Lady Germany should be feared.
• Cato of Seekers is the hardest fighter of the group (male or female) and the most well endowed.
• In Sluggy Freelance, Oasis and her Blue Oni clone-ish counterpart Kusari have the largest breasts of almost all the female cast, and are also superhumanly capable fighters.
• Buxom Gal from Super Megatopia. Her cup size varies in direct proportion to how much energy she's absorbed.
• Super Rivals: Main superheroine Awesome Girl is a very tough Flying Brick with a very large bust to match.
• Shield from Unit-M can do 125 sit ups in two minutes. Quite an accomplishment considering she’s carrying around two bowling balls on her chest.
• Unsounded: Elka is quite possibly the best melee fighter among the female cast members. She laments once, while drugged, that her usual breastplate flattens her and restricts her "full power". Knock, her competition for best melee fighter, is also well endowed.
• Zig-zagged in White Dark Life. A majority of the women with noticeable bustlines tend to be the strongest, with Synder, Ms.E, and Eloria being the most noticeable examples. However, the largest bust wise is the Squishy Wizard Rosa, and one of the other strongest is flat chested Artemis.

• BuffPup is a Virtual YouTuber whose avatar has incredibly large muscles and breasts about the size of her head. The real Pup is quite physically fit herself, but has a moderate breast size.
• Shirogane Noel of 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.
• Whateley Universe:
  • Tennyo is the strongest girl on Team Kimba, and (having the shape of an older girl) has the biggest breasts.
  • Compiler is the strongest member of the Whitman Lit Chix, and has the biggest breasts, since she used nanotechnology to improve her body and overdid it.

Western Animation

• Katella the Intergalactic Huntress from Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, one of the bustiest characters on the show and also one of the most aggressive. She has enough strength to break down a door and make an amazing entrance.
• Avatar: The Last Airbender:
  • Ty Lee from Avatar: The Last Airbender has a rather sizable chest and is easily the physically strongest and most agile character in the series who has no powers, male or female. Her name even means "extreme strength".
  • In The Legend of Korra, the eponymous Avatar, who is by far the toughest female on the show, is very well endowed.
• In Frisky Dingo, Grace Ryan gains a few cup sizes when she becomes the super-strong villain Antagone.
• Leela of Futurama is the bustiest female of the Planet Express Crew and the most combat-oriented crew member.
• Justice League Unlimited:
  • Galatea is literally a clone of Supergirl, just aged slightly more. This means that she's a little stronger...and has grown about three cup sizes. Combined with her costume, this makes Galatea an obvious Shout-Out to Power Girl.
  • Just like her comic book counterpart, Wonder Woman has a very impressive bust and can defeat most of the supervillains that she faces.
• Rose Quartz from Steven Universe was the largest and most physically-imposing of the Crystal Gems, an eight-foot-tall Lady of War who could easily defeat even dedicated Gem warriors with her bare hands. She's also the only known Gem in the entire show unambiguously drawn with breasts. This is probably because her true identity, Pink Diamond, added this trait to make her Rose Quartz persona look more human-like.
• Cheetara of ThunderCats (2011) is both busty and a Lightning Bruiser Praetorian Guard to series' protagonist Lion-O. Her only other female teammates is a juvenile Artful Dodger and Magical Flutist with no real combat experience.
• In Wakfu pretty much every female character has a noticeable bust, including badass archer Evangeline, but a major standout is General Frida Mofette of the Sufokian Navy. Of her entire army, she's the greatest melee fighter, and has the largest bust of all characters with similar proportions, which sway with every movement she makes. Combined with her Blood Knight tendencies and borderline Ax-Crazy demeanor, there's a reason fans call her "General Crazytits".
