Buxom Is Better: Difference between revisions

The logical opposite to [[A Cup Angst]], and [[Petite Pride]], and the [[Distaff Counterpart]] to [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]]. While [[Bigger Is Better in Bed]] applies [[Bigger Is Better]] to penis size and quality of sex, respectively, this trope applies it to breast size and attractiveness.

* [[Emma Watson]] was also on the receiving end of some Photoshop enhancement on certain ''[[Harry Potter (Film)|Harry Potter]]'' posters.

* In ''[[Devil Hunter Yohko (Anime)|Devil Hunter Yohko]]'', [http://www.animeresimleri.com/img742.htm Yohko Mano] [[Lampshades]] the fact that, despite being the most buxom character in the show, every romance she has ends in disaster. In fact it is her lack of romantic success that ensures her role as [[The Hero]], since the initial activation of being a devil hunter is a [[Virgin Power]]. Afterwards a hunter can have all the sex they want, as demonstrated by Yohko's grandmother.

* Sailor Jupiter (a.k.a Makoto/[[Dub Name Change|Lita]]) from ''[[Sailor Moon (Manga)|Sailor Moon]]'' has breasts that range from visibly larger to twice the size or more ([[Fan Service|depending on the scene)]] of her cohorts. Unfortunately she can't get a boyfriend to save her life, [[Huge Schoolgirl|because she's about 6 feet tall]] and [[No Guy Wants an Amazon|is physically strong and active to be off-putting to most guys]].

* ''[[Iketeru Futari (Manga)|Iketeru Futari]]'' [[Huge Schoolgirl]] Yuki subverts this. [[Big Breasts, Big Deal|She actually doesn't like her big breasts]] due to the the physical discomfort and all the [[All Men Are Perverts|unwanted attention]] she gets, but she's willing to use them to seduce her childhood friend [[Chivalrous Pervert|Saji]]. [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Unfortunately for her]] Saji only has eyes for the more [[Petite Pride|petite]] Koizumi. She eventually gives up on Saji, becomes a model and finds a new love interest in Kaede, only to find out that Kaede has a phobia of breasts, due to a [[Marshmallow Hell]] incident with his mother when he was a baby. Fortunately Kaede gets over it becomes a couple with Yuki.

* Chapter three of the manga series ''Asklepios'', has the protagonists trying to convince a village girl to let them do operate on her to remove a tumor on her ovaries that resulted in an huge increase of her bust size, but at the [[Blessed With Suck|same time is killing her]]. She initially refused because she thought love interest liked big breasts but eventually takes the surgery when said love interest say he cares about her and not her bust. After the surgery over he even says she looks better flat chested.

* ''[[Jungle De Ikou]]'' Mii has extremely huge breasts, the explanation being that since she's the spirit of fertility and reproduction her huge breasts represent Earth's life-giving energy.

* [[Anthropomorphic Personification|Ukraine]] from ''[[Axis Powers Hetalia (Manga)|Axis Powers Hetalia]]'' has huge breasts, representing the [[Useful Notes/Ukraine|country's]] large and fertile farmlands, or in other words, "huge tracts of land."

* The rival cake shop in episode nine of ''[[Kamen no Maid Guy]]'' makes use of this trope. They get away with selling [[Lethal Chef|terrible food]] to their predominantly male customers because they're too busy staring at the [[Distracted By the Sexy|waitress' large breasts to notice how bad it is]]. Also this trope is very much in effect for [[Gag Boobs|Naeka]], much to [[My Eyes Are Up Here|her annoyance]] and her friends' [[Meal Ticket|financial gain]].

* ''[[Airmaster (Manga)|Airmaster]]'' [[Schoolgirl Lesbians|Nakanotani Mina]]. [[Big Breasts, Big Deal|Unfortunately it's much to her dismay]] as it's the main reason why she get hit on so much. Ironically despite being the most attractive female in the series Mina and her breasts are mainly played for [[Gag Boobs|satire]] and the source of many awkward situations .

* Over half the male cast in ''[[Desert Punk (Manga)|Desert Punk]]'' is enamored with [[Femme Fatale|Junko's]] [[Gag Boobs|huge breasts]] and [[I Have Boobs - You Must Obey!|she is more than willing to take advantage of that]].

* ''[[Macross Frontier]]''. Ranka goes to the [[Beauty Contest|Miss Macross competition]] and suffers [[A Cup Angst]] in the face of the competition, ''all'' of whom follow this trope to a T. There is also an infamous line said by [[Ms. Fanservice|Sheryl Nome]] ''while she's groping her own breasts''.

* Yo-Han from ''[[Need a Girl (Manhwa)|Need a Girl]]'' makes extensive speeches about how Bigger = Hotter. He is very much a breast man.

* ''[[Slayers (Anime)|Slayers]]'' sometimes get weird in this regard. Lina with quite good figure is called "flat" and is [[A Cup Angst|awfully concerned]] about this. Of course, it's more understandable when compared to her usual companions -- that's either Amelia or [[Gag Boobs|Naga]]...

* The homunculus Lust in ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga)|Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' has pretty impressive breasts, though it only gets brought up once.

* [[Alejandro Jodorowsky]]'s ''[[Megalex (Comic Book)|Megalex]]'':

* Knockout from ''[[Invincible (Comic Book)|Invincible]]'' wears large prosthetic breasts, her boyfriend wishes otherwise but [[Punch Clock Hero|her salary has doubled because of them]].

* [[Buxom Is Better]] is an actual plot point in ''[[WITCH (Comic Book)|WITCH]]'', and it is generally accepted that larger breasts are a sign of greater beauty: three of the five girls all try or actually do use magic to enhance their breast size, leader Will [[A Cup Angst|angsts about her small bust]], and Irma tries no less than twice to artificially enlarge her [[Most Common Superpower|already sizable]] breasts using magic. Lets not even get started on the near-constant [[Breast Expansion]] fetishism that is seen throughout the series, but needless to say it's omnipresent. The TV show seems to go even further. Even the transformation sequences feature [[Fan Service|visible, onscreen]] [[Breast Expansion|breast expansion]] every episode, the characters talk about it directly the very first episode, it's referenced or directly addressed several times, and the show actually made headlines in the UK for being so outright ''blatant'' about it. Basically, in ''[[WITCH (Comic Book)|WITCH]]'', if you're flat-chested you're [[Worldwide Punomenon|flat out of luck]].

* Jessica Rabbit from ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]''. She is based on a pinup drawing after all.

* The eponymous character from ''[[Kick Ass]]'' is obsessed with large breasts, going so far as to watch photos of female african tribals.

* The male lead in ''[[Friends With Kids (Film)|Friends With Kids]]'' sincerely believes this, leading to [[A Cup Angst]] from his would-be girlfriend.

* ''[[Nip Tuck]]'' has a double subversion in the episode [[Gag Boobs|Jenny Juggs]], where the eponymous character, has incredibly huge breasts that she can even use as [[Improbable Weapon User|weapons]], knocking out the protagonist and breaking a pumpkin with them. [[Big Breasts, Big Deal|Her breasts have caused her a lot of self-esteem issues]], [[You Are What You Hate|not helped by the fact that she's a stripper]]. She is finally convinced by the protagonist to get a breast reduction bringing her to a C-cup but ends up getting upset anyway because she [[A Cup Angst|thinks her breasts are too small]].

* One arc on ''[[30 Rock (TV)|Thirty Rock]]'' featured Jack Donaghy's romance with nurse Elisa, played by the patron saint of Buxom Is Better, [[Salma Hayek]]. Liz's take?

* Penny on ''[[Happy Endings (TV)|Happy Endings]]'' says that she used to draw attention to her cleavage to get bigger tips during [[Fan Service With a Smile|her waitressing days]]. It's still one of the first things that people notice about her.

* In ''[[Shadowrun (Tabletop Game)|Shadowrun]]'', the player can get breast implants of varying sizes. Gamemasters are encouraged to use discretion in determining actual in-game effects.

* Miranda from ''[[Mass Effect 2 (Video Game)|Mass Effect 2]]''. As the engineers put it...

* This appears in ''[[Tales of Vesperia (Video Game)|Tales of Vesperia]]'' with Judith, who is regarded as the sexiest party member because of her large breasts.

* In the ''[[Queens Blade]]'' PSP game, Spiral Chaos, Reina and Cute cup their breasts in disappointment while looking at Cattleya's massive melons.

* In ''[[Blaz Blue]]'', the source of many [[A Cup Angst]] was due to big breasts, Kokonoe threw a tantrum over Makoto's bigger breasts, mentioning her small breasts makes [[Pettanko|Noel]] REALLY mad, and she wished to get a bigger breasts like Litchi's. And when Tsubaki was groped by Taokaka and called "Average" despite having decent-sized breasts, she's pissed. And big breasts was one of the reasons Litchi was such a [[Hello, Nurse!]].

* Mia Fey from ''[[Ace Attorney (Visual Novel)|Ace Attorney]]'' was once able use her large breasts to get information out of a [[Dirty Old Man]] witness. Also, in the first game she gets a small boy to start talking with a Cheshire Grin smile when Phoenix had a hard time getting him to cooperate at all.

* Dr. [[Gender Blender Name|Edward]] Bunnigus of ''[[Schlock Mercenary (Webcomic)|Schlock Mercenary]]'' is a [[Designer Babies|gene-tweaked]] test-tube baby, as her parents were mentally stunted and therefore not permitted to produce naturally. The "model" of her gene-tweaking was the "Exotic Dancer" package, hence her massive mammaries and her name ('''"ED"'''ward). She's used her considerable assets as a stripper and pole dancer to pay her way through medical school, and in one case [http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2011-01-22 "weaponized" her body during a strip search].

** However, this ''also'' slips into [[Blessed With Suck]] territory, as she's never had a partner last more than 2 minutes at sex as a result - with one poor guy lasting [[Jizzed in My Pants|-39 Seconds]].
