Line 29:
* In ''[[Baccano]]'', a couple of [[The Mafia|Russo-affiliated thugs]] are given the task of hunting down a man who managed to single-handedly destroy and rob ''eighteen'' of their speakeasies in a single night. And just who is that implacable, [[One-Man Army]] of [[Badass|Badassery]], you might ask? [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v44/Dragynstorm/Baccano_9.jpg This guy]. No, not the one with a gun. The guy in the vest who's bawling his eyes out.
* ''[[Katekyo Hitman Reborn]]'': This tends to happen to Tsuna. He's supposed to be the 10th Generation Vongola Boss (against his will, of course), but he's only 14, and is very scrawny and rather [[Butt Monkey|pathetic looking]]. A lot of people say variations of this phrase, and find it generally hard to believe. Interestingly enough, this phrase isn't explicitly said by Spanner, but implied when he gets Tsuna some prisoner clothes, and remarks in surprise and exasperation that even size small is too big for him.
* In ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]'', this happens to Sōsuke during one of his missions where he had to work with another group of soldiers to kill Gauron. When they first see him, many of them ask why there's a kid here. They find it extremely hard to believe that he's the one assigned to assist them, and find it an insult that Mithril would send a "child" to help.
* In ''[[Death Note]]'', the police are surprised when L turns out to be a scrawny guy in his early twenties.
* '' [[Trigun]]''
