Line 1: {{trope}} {{quote\|Is she really my ''big'' sister?\|Basra\|[[Vigor Mortis]]}} When someone mentions his or her “little brother”, you usually expect a smaller, weaker individual, most likely a child or teenager. The ~~big~~'''Big ~~little~~Little ~~brother~~Brother''' is the polar opposite of this. It’s someone who may be the youngest member of his family, but just so happens to be stronger, taller and overall more physically impressive than his older siblings. The revelation of this usually comes as a surprise to both the audience and the characters in a story. This trope is usually used for comical effect. {{examples}} Line 18: * Mitsukuni Haninozuka from ''[[Ouran High School Host Club]]'' is much shorter than his younger brother Yasuchika. * Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold from ''[[One Piece]]'' are both taller than their eldest sister, Boa Hancock. And this is considering that Hancock herself [[Statuesque Stunner\|is already more than 6 feet tall.]] ** Also {{spoiler\|Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi}}, who even ''[http://images.wikia.com/onepiece/images/0/05/Royal_Family.png as a baby]''{{Dead link}}'' was much bigger than her brothers. * Michio Kawata from ''[[Slam Dunk]]'' is ''way'' taller than his older brother Masashi. Also [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: Michio is a [[Gentle Giant]] while Masashi is [[Hot-Blooded]]. * Exaggerated in ''[[Recorder and Randsell]]'': Atsushi Miyagawa is a fifth grader who looks 17. On top of this, his older sister is in high school and looks his age. Line 39: * ''[[The Dresden Files]]'': Six-and-a-half-feet-tall Harry Dresden is also more powerful than his six foot nothing older brother, though Thomas is physically stronger. ** Played with (for laughs) with the Gruffs. The Gruffs (as in, ''Billy Goat'') are the Summer Queen's troubleshooters (trouble? they'll shoot it), and each one is progressively larger than the one before, just like in the fairy tale. After having fought off one marginally smaller than a school bus and having been warned that ''its'' big brother was on the way, Harry begins to be seriously worried. When Harry realizes that last one has him cornered, he starts making his peace. On the way in, the Eldest Gruff casually destroys a Denarian (a Fallen Angel in a mortal host) ''with love and happiness''. {{spoiler\|He's five feet tall and Harry defeats him with a donut.}} * ''[[Harry Potter and ~~The~~the Order of ~~The~~the Phoenix (novel)\|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'': We get to meet Hagrid's little brother, Grawp. Grawp, being a full giant instead of just a half giant, is 16 feet tall (which makes him small, by giant standards). == [[Live-Action TV]] == Line 86: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Big Little Brother~~{{PAGENAME}}]]▼ [[Category:Sibling Tropes]] ▲[[Category:Big Little Brother]]
