Huge Guy Tiny Girl picture isn't an example of it: Huge Guy Tiny Girl

I'm seeing a problem with the picture here. The trope description explictly states that it can't simply be the man who's extraordinarily big, but also the woman must be shorter than average. Izumi is most certainly not short.

The picture is not an example of the trope. I call for a change of it. Any suggestions?

Snow and Sarah from Final Fantasy XIII should be easy to find... give me a little bit

The X Men one is good for me.

Fight smart, not fair.

Here's Kenpachi and Yachiru from Bleach.

Good images. I can't see how any of images are better/worse than the other. Let's get more examples.

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Yeto and Yeta from twilight princess◊

Not really that obvious that the smaller one is a girl.

I dug up a screenshot of Beezy and Saffi◊ from Jimmy Two Shoes. Not sure if it's good though.

Bleach and X Men both do the job adequately. I honestly don't know which one's better, though part of me wants to go with X Men 'cause we're supposed to check for pro-anime biases.

I have no problem with using non-anime images, but if your only basis of judgment is "it's not from anime", then that's a load of crap.

If everyone agrees the X-Men image does the job better, then fine. But don't go with it just because it's not an anime image.

Here's an extreme example: Homer Simpson as Paul Bunyan with a normal-sized Marge:

[1]◊ [2]◊

I like the X-men one too.

The X-Men one looks like a kid with an adult character. I think we need to delete a lot of examples, because most have normal-sized women.

It doesn't have to be two adults. The trope says that the relationship doesn't have to be sexual, and the girl can just be a Morality Pet.

Snow and Serah.◊

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!

Well, the height difference isn't as exaggerated, and she's kind of hard to see.

Well it shouldn't be THAT exaggerated he is over 6 and she not breaking 5 [1]◊ Also its a Invoked Trope since his nickname before he had a name was "Mr Footlong" and these two are suppose to be getting married... he is going to break her. Cosplay◊

(I do not get why this isn't Romantic only...)

So in other words, she's about average height for an Asian woman so she's too tall for the trope. Got it.

Made a crowner.

If the Morality Pet non-romantic angle is acceptable for the image, then Bioshock's Big Daddy & Little Sister is a good example: [1]◊ (same image but much larger, [2]◊)

Edit: I like the X-Men picture of Colossus and Kitty Pride. It's clearer than the Bleach one (mostly because the Bleach character are both wearing black; they blend into each other).

Found this, from the anime Yu Yu Hakusho. Genkai was basically a midget....and Toguro....well he's a giant.

This is Mimi-don't let her cuteness fool you-she's got spunk.

The angle makes it hard to see. She looks further away, not smaller.

It's also hard to tell gender because it's small, blurry, and the contrast isn't the best. The characters look like they might be a good example though. Do you have a better image?

There's Hector and Florina◊ from Fire Emblem.

Belief or disbelief rests with you.

But... a normal-sized prepubescent girl is pretty obvious to be much smaller than any adult man. Which in turn makes the trope as obvious as People Sit On Chairs.

Personally, I think the trope should be limited to adult/teenage women that are just really short.
