Basic Trope: The larger a woman's cup size is, the more fighting strength she
has.
• Straight: Alice, who is not very busty, is a White Magician Girl; Betty,
who has B's, is the Fragile Speedster; Charlene, who has C's, is a decent
fighter. Dorothy, sporting DD's, is a Lightning Bruiser.
• Exaggerated: Any woman who has any fighting skill whatsoever has at
least D-Cups.
• Downplayed: The strongest fighter has the biggest breasts but the
differences are barely noticeable.
• Justified:
• Dorothy is the oldest in a cast of teens, so it's natural that she'd be
better endowed, as well as have more fighting experience and
physical strength.
• Dorothy had been working out and building up her physical
strength, largely as a way of adapting to the weight of her breasts.
• The appearance of large breasts comes from the large pectoral
muscles underneath those breasts.
• Dorothy is a Big Eater who learned how to fight after getting tired
of people making fun of her weight.
• Dorothy is the only one who's actually eating properly;
malnutrition has wreaked havoc on the others' bodies.
• Inverted:
• Smaller breasts make better fighters, especially when they're hard
to "aim at".
• Bigger breasts make better mages.
• Subverted:
• Dorothy holds her own pretty well in battle, until she loses to
Anna, who is an A-Cup.
• Dorothy has Gag Boobs and is thought to be the Action Girl that
the party is seeking to recruit, but it turns out that she is a poor
fighter, and the Action Girl they are looking for is Alice, who is
flat-chested.
• Double Subverted:
• Anna was afterwards busted for cheating.
• The party learned later that Anna was a Miles Gloriosus and
Dorothy was heavily handicapped back then.
• Parodied:
• Alice instantly becomes a better fighter after a boob job.
• Dorothy has huge fists for breasts.
• This trope is applied unisexually; all the men are incompetent
fighters except for Fat Bastard Colin, whose fat accumulates on
top his chest.
• Zig Zagged:
• Analyzing the Ability Parameters shows that Dorothy has the
highest stamina of the girls. Even though she is an average fighter,
she holds on her own the longest.
• As the fighter, Dorothy is an extreme Glass Cannon. She is either
the best or worst depending on how well she starts.
• Averted: Fighting women come from all areas of the cup-size spectrum.
• Enforced: The big boobs are to make sure the audience knows Dorothy,
the tough fighter, is supposed to be a woman.
• Lampshaded:
 • "Be careful of that one, anyone who can fight and lug those things
around is no joke."
• "Why the hell are all the busty chicks so tough?"
• Invoked: Esther got a boob job to become a better fighter.
• Exploited:
• Prince Casanova often paints himself get as a Gentleman in
Distress or attends the finals during the Tournament Arc. He does
this in hopes attracting the attentions of the strongest lady fighters,
for bodyguards, especially since he could be certain of their
physical attributes.
• The Big Bad looks out for the flattest and the most buxom of
ladies, keeping track of who could be strong enemies or
bodyguards.
• Defied: "I can't fight with these things!"
• Discussed: "No woman would fight hanging out like that."
• Conversed: "No wonder she's so strong. Fighting with a chest that big
is probably one hell of a workout."
• Deconstructed: While a skilled fighter, Dorothy can't fight at her full
potential because of her breasts. However, she's willing to take that risk
since her breasts have made her popular with the guys.
• Reconstructed: Normally Dorothy's breasts would get in the way in a
fight, but thanks to a special sports bra made for her, she can fight at her
full potential.
• Plotted A Good Waste: It's supposed to be symbolic for something.
Clyde, a fan of Fantasmic, guesses, "Maybe it represents muscle?"
• Played For Laughs: Not only do larger breasts make her a better
fighter and physically stronger overall, the breasts themselves possess
considerable strength and are actually invincible, meaning she can
destroy all her enemies by hitting them with her breasts. She doesn't
even need to work on her arms or legs. She still does, but not for
fighting reasons.
• Played For Drama: Dorothy got breast implants because No Guy
Wants an Amazon.
• Implied: Dorothy has large breasts, but many people seem afraid of her
for some reason.
