The act of drawing a female character with unusually large and buoyant breasts and [[Vapor Wear|without a bra]], then animating every individual jiggle, sway, bounce and bobble they undergo. Also known as Gainax Bounce or the Gainax Bounce Effect.
The motion so displayed is typically
The term was coined by fans some time before 1993 and makes reference to the anime production company [[Studio Gainax]], many of whose earlier releases made use of this particular variety of [[Fan Service]]. According to a Usenet post from 1993, one particular busty young woman from the Gainax anime ''[[Otaku no Video]]'' inspired a tongue-in-cheek unit of measurement for

== The [[Trope Maker]] ==
* The ''very first'' Gainax Bounce appeared at approximately 3 minutes and 20 seconds into the legendary [https://youtu.be/-840keiiFDE?t=3m19s Daicon IV opening animation], created in 1983 by the group of fans who would then go on to become [[Studio Gainax]]. See [[wikipedia:Daicon III and IV Opening Animations|Wikipedia]] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHD3dguz9is this video] for more info on the Daicon openings.
== Advertising ==
* Bizarrely, advertisements for the UK insurance comparison website "Confused.com" seem to show this very often, such as in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nAvUKPMExc this advert.] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D15De1Ai6A And this one.] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZH6kslt30Y Oh, and this one.] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSZY72Hz9YA Whoops, almost forgot this one.] And yes, they do get weirder and more overt each time.
== Anime
* The whole trope can pretty much be summarized by 300 boobs in 2 minutes, in this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBQmh2wJTbA gloriously NSFW AMV]. [http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=162704 And here you can download the original from animemusicvideos.org].
* Parodied in ''[[
* Plentiful in ''[[Gravion]]'' (which provides this page's picture), especially with [[Ms. Fanservice|Mizuki Tachibana]], who bounces considerably with the slightest movement, even ''swallowing''.
** Gainaxing is a signature of Gravion's creator, Masami Obari, present in his works, including the ''[[Fatal Fury]]'' anime adaptions and ''[[Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer]]'', in which it's put to the utmost extreme.
* ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' has the character Faye Valentine, who is breathtakingly beautiful with gigantic pneumatic breasts that seem to have minds of their own. She also almost invariably dresses in a manner that would, in any American city in the late 20th Century, cause everyone who saw her to conclude immediately that she is a streetwalker. Canon indicates that she does this on purpose [[Distracted by the Sexy|to distract men]]. On one occasion, she wears a perfectly normal evening gown.
* The seventh ''[[One Piece]]'' movie had the girls bounce from doing absolutely ''anything''. Hell, in a few scenes, Nami will simply be standing around, perfectly still, and her boobs will just randomly bounce quite forcefully all on their own. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QodpMgXGqAo See for yourself].
Line 35 ⟶ 38:
** Perhaps ironically, ''Gunbuster'' actually features what can be considered ''as close to realistic as possible'' physics for the bouncing breasts. Noriko's bounced so much mainly because she moved around a lot even when she wasn't wearing a bra.
* Just about any female character in the various ''[[Burn Up]]'' animes.
* Mune-mune in Gainax's ''[[
** [[Squick|And]] [[Fan Disservice|she's]] [[Older Than They Look|the main character's]] {{spoiler|''[[Dead All Along|late]] [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|grandmother]]''.}}
* Kurono Kurumu in ''[[
* Chapter 95 of the manga ''[[Mx0]]'' plays this trope for satire with a magical liquid that makes some (already extremely buxom) girls' breasts experience only 1/6 normal gravity. The result is a ''lot'' of bouncing, first from falling, then from wind, then an earthquake.
* ''[[To
* Every female character that appears in the various ''[[Ranma ½]]'' motion
** Especially since the characters are considerably ''less'' endowed in the television series.
* The sheer quantity of gainaxing found in the anime ''[[Plastic Little]]'' inspired [[ADV Films|ADV]], the North American distributor/dub house, to include an on-screen "Jiggle Count" meter as one of the special features in their DVD release.
* The anime ''[[
* Taeko and a few others in ''[[Ai Yori Aoshi]]''.
* Practically every female role in ''[[Divergence Eve]]'' and its follow-up. It may be noted that outside of this and the [[Fan Service|fanservicey]] opener and closer, the series is remarkably serious in tone and tells its story in blissful.
Line 49 ⟶ 52:
* Virtually any adult female in ''[[Devil Hunter Yohko]]''
* The opening credits of ''[[Landlock]]''.
* The title character in ''Amazing Nurse Nanako'' falls prey to this, making an otherwise well
* While not exactly as flagrant, Murrue Ramius of ''[[Gundam Seed]]'' has the dubious honor of having her bouncing chest be one of the few whose bouncing was actually animated and used as [[Stock Footage]] every time the ''Archangel'' took a particularly nasty hit in battle. This seemed to be limited to her, until first officer Natarle Badguirel ended up in command of her own ship, whereupon she gained the suddenly bouncing breasts (albeit not as dramatically given her modest proportions), as did Flay Alster as part of her crew. Whether this is actually an accurate depiction of how breasts move in zero gravity is debatable.
** Murrue was also the first woman in the ''[[Gundam]]'' franchise to have her jiggle ''in the opening credits of the actual series itself''. She was replaced in the HD Remaster by Fllay Alster. The [[James Bond|James Bond opening credits level]] nudity is also bra-less and even had male viewers often going "...those don't work that way." Female tropers, on the other hand, winced in pain and often skipped those credits.
** "They wounded the burst-proof battleship in order to sway the heart of the captain." - ''[[Moetan]] II, volume 1'' (the book). Obviously, the word "heart" in the Japanese translation can also mean "breasts".
** Fllay also displayed quite a big of bounce in the flashbacks to [https://web.archive.org/web/20151226222755/http://fyeahkirafure.tumblr.com/post/14205211922 the sex scene with Kira]
* Yoko, and Kittan's three sisters (who come in small, medium and large for your viewing pleasure) in ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''. Guess who it's made by. In fact, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAAOQHhoyzA the English trailer] for Gurren Lagann contained the words "that famous Gainax bounce". Yoko is an especially amusing example because her breasts seem to ''spontaneously'' Gainax without any movement on her part, whenever any attention is called to them.
* Mikuru Asahina, the [[Moe]] character in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi|The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', displays Gainaxing, particularly in the opening credits.
{{quote|
** Also very evident in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5G5bD2Do-k the ending credits], especially at 0:13-0:16 (she's on the right).
** It's even [[Lampshaded]] in a Season 2 dub [[Hilarious Outtakes|outtake]]: "Look at these things, they move ''independently'' of each other!"
Line 68 ⟶ 71:
** Oono also gets this quite often.
* A certain animation team in the rotation for ''[[Digimon Savers]]'' used this technique on Rosemon, and it's probably not a coincidence that they animated BioLotusmon's only appearance.
** It's worth noting that before ''Savers'', the only minor use of this trope was in the second ''Tamers''
* Siesta from ''[[
** Not to mention Kirche the Ardent.
** Siesta is ''nothing'' compared to Tiffania, who barely has to ''move'' to set her breasts bouncing around like [[Flubber]].
** Used to great hilarity in one episode when the gang is trapped in a cave. They hear something approaching fast and prepare for a fight, until Saito realizes exactly what that sound is with a priceless look on his face while the viewers get the obligatory chest shot of the approaching Siesta (who's wearing the Sailor Fuku outfit Saito bought earlier).
* Mai from ''[[
* ''[[Macross Frontier]]'' features a whole raft of characters with sufficiently Gainaxed breasts, including Sheryl and the Miss Macross Frontier contestants (which makes [[A-Cup Angst|Ranka]] uncomfortable.) Also, ''zero gravity bouncing''. Very unique.
** Interestingly the show also subverts the trope slightly: when a fully sized, thirty-foot-tall Zentraedi, Klan Klein has a rather terrifying bust that may actually be capable of ''killing'' a normal-sized human. Micronized, however, she doesn't possess anything that can ''be'' Gainaxed.
* ''[[Read or Die|R.O.D. TV]]'' had one particularly infamous chase sequence where Nenene finally finds her long lost friend ([[Les Yay|love?]]) Yomiko Readman. Yomiko runs away and Nenene gives chase. As they sprint, their bosoms (which had been largely still until then) bounce and sway like jello earthquakes. It's also worth noting that Yomiko's bustline went from a mild C-Cup in the OVA well into DD territory for the TV series, set several years later. A late blooming?
** It isn't just the chase scene. Watch Nenene's bosom in the first episode. They ripple like water.
* This happens to Milly and Shirley during one of the [[School Festival]] activity episodes in ''[[Code Geass]]'' and to Kallen, the most noticeable example being her encounter with Suzaku on Kamine Island. You'd think that Kallen, having one of the larger chests of the female characters featured on the show as well as being the most physical girl, would get ''a lot'' more of this during the action sequences but the total count reaches no more than a handful.
** Well, [[Weird Science|any more than a handful is a waste.]]
* After the [[Time Skip]] in ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', Nanoha and Fate, no longer young girls, displayed this trope during their [[Transformation Sequence]], as did Subaru.
Line 88 ⟶ 91:
* In ''[[Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka]]'''s eighth episode, whenever the camera focuses on Tsukasa, her breasts appear to take on a life of their own. The first scene, which is just a profile shot of her laughing, has them bouncing up and down like crazy.
* In one episode of ''[[Naruto]],'' the seriousness of Gaara transforming [[Narm|is lost]] thanks to Temari's inexplicable Gainaxing, which is something that no character in the show had really shown before or since (even Tsunade, who despite having a bustline greater than a meter, no bra, and a very active combat style, has her breasts remain perfectly stable).
** It appears as though you haven't seen
** Now Samui from the Cloud village has it
* ''[[Eiken]]'' has a ridiculous amount of Gainaxing happening in almost every scene. Chief among the guilty are Kirika and [[Token
* Margery Daw in ''[[Shakugan no Shana]]'''s [[Festival Episode]].
* Junko Asagiri from ''[[Desert Punk (manga)|Desert Punk]]'', during the end credits.
** [[Gag Boobs|And, you know, everywhere else.]]
* Rosette does this in the third episode of ''[[Chrono Crusade]]''
* Done with refreshing realism in ''[[Gargoyle of the Yoshinagas]]''. A character's breasts do bounce but only after another character steals her bra.
* Yurika in ''[[Akikan]]'' actually uses Gainaxing as a strategy. In a baseball game with Yell (who's [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny|distracted by moving objects]]), she apparently plays without a bra on purpose, leading to very springy bouncing that Yell just can't take her eyes off of.
* Izumi in ''[[Kemeko Deluxe]]!'', all the time.
* Studio Gainax is responsible for animating the most recent ''Re: [[Cutie Honey]]'' [[OVA
* ''[[Ninin ga Shinobuden]]'' gives Shinobu a few good bounces in episode 4. Then again, the first half of the episode is a spoof of [[Fan Service]] anyway.
** The baseball episode has a ninja distracting himself by imagining Kaede in a tiny bikini, complete with bouncing. The ''real'' Kaede bowls him over because he's not paying attention.
* Parodied in ''[[Samurai Champloo]]'' when small-chested Fuu decides to carry a couple of cherry bombs by [[Victoria's Secret Compartment|sticking them down the front of her kimono.]] And then she goes for a run. The result is quite comical, which is compounded by the occasional viewer who didn't notice the cherry bomb thing and thinks that her breasts have just gone insane.
* The appropriately-named Bouncy Tiff, who is created to the real Tiff's dismay. She is drawn like a stereotypical magical girl and... err, deserves the "bouncy" portion of her name. Even the youngest character in the crew knows to cover his eyes. The anime she appears in? ''[[Kirby:
* Miyuki in ''[[Basquash]]'', who has her bouncing breasts take up the entire screen for a good few seconds.
** Which is taken to the next level with Haruka Gracia, who we get to see jiggle on three separate occasions before actually seeing her face.
* Check the [[Beach Episode]] of ''[[Please Teacher!]]''.
* In the ''[[Makai Senki Disgaea]]'' anime, we have Jennifer, the female assistant of Captain Gordon, '''Defender of Earth!'''. The sight of her chest bouncing is enough to make Laharl sick.
* Team coach Momoe from ''[[Ookiku Furikabutte]]''.
* ''[[Green Green]]'', to a truly ''ridiculous'' extent.
* In the same vein as Mikuru and ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' above, Kyou Fujibayashi of ''[[Clannad (visual novel)|Clannad]]'' Gainaxes like mad in the opening credits of the first season, ''while bouncing a basketball''.
** Kotomi also does so in the [[Baseball Episode]].
* Also on the same vein, [[Otaku Surrogate|Patricia Martin]] displays it during while cheerleading in the opening [[Dancing Theme]].
* The ''[[
* The anime of ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]'' gave most of the women and girls a bad tendency to do this, which would be fine if this were a comedy series. Unfortunately, Umineko [[Kill'Em All|is]] [[Mind Screw|not]] [[Paranoia Fuel|a]] [[Psychological Horror|comedy series]]. Poor Shannon has the worst of it. Every time she makes a sudden movement or reacts to something, her boobs also react, with a single bounce.
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', Rangiku's breasts bounce when she is frightened by Capt. Hitsugaya's intrusion. She even says that they almost popped out of her robe.
Line 122 ⟶ 125:
* This happens in episode 19 of ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist|Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood]]''; for unexplainable reasons beyond pointing out that Havoc likes big boobs, Lust's boobs bounce considerably.
* Mii in ''[[Jungle de Ikou!]]'' Gainaxes quite a bit, thanks in part to her huge rack (Mii's breasts are supposed to represent Earth's life-giving energy); this is taken to a somewhat absurd level when Mii uses her powers to turn into a giant.
* ''[[Highschool of the Dead]]'' [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hB_3hZqE04
* Another Studio Gainax creation, ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', would always promise "more fanservice" in the next episode. Strangely, this was the one time Studio Gainax ''didn't'' follow this trope: the show did have a fair amount of tongue-in-cheek fanservice, but its overall animation style was less "cartoony" and trying to be photo-realistic, so unrealistic "breasts bouncing around like water balloons" didn't really happen that often.
** They made up for it in ''[[Rebuild of Evangelion|Rebuild]]'', when Mari puts on her new plugsuit and comments how comfortable it is, demonstrating how well it can support her relatively huge chest. It was relatively realistic, tough. And she was wearing skin-tight, elastic clothing at that time.
*** Also seen at two moments later in the movie, when destruction of the bones guarding an angel's core caused its chest to lose its tautness, resulting in a bounce of building-sized breasts; and when a naked Rei gasped in surprise.
* In an odd variant, ''[[Brave Command Dagwon]]'' has this happen to Galaxy Luna's buttocks during her henshin sequence. ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4Ajh989z0M&NR=1 Said sequence starts at 1:07]).
Line 136 ⟶ 139:
** Notably averted with the Major herself, however, whose admittedly generous breasts are artificial, like the rest of her body, and actually animated that way.
* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' had this happening to Mion {{spoiler|(really Shion)}}. Like every other [[Fan Service]] trope used, [[Fan Disservice|it came off as seriously creepy]].
* ''[[Ladies versus Butlers!]]'' is full of this, having ample fanservice moments. Sernia Iori Flameheart in particular, she even gets the sound effects, generally the other girls don't.
* ''[[Golden Boy]]'' did this quite a bit, especially in the first episode (from the owner of a computer software company).
* ''[[Queen's Blade]]'' has this by the truckloads but episode nine of the first season is most appropriate example being a
* ''[[Airmaster]]'': Mina has plenty of this but she's a Subversion of [[Ms. Fanservice]] and her [[Gag Boobs|figure]] is played mostly for laughs as her breasts tend to bounce out of sync with the rest of her body and the movements are extremely exaggerated
* Chu's entire entourage in ''[[Mouse]]'', even the flat chested one.
* Done hilariously in the [[Beach Episode]] of ''[[Tokimeki Memorial|Tokimeki Memorial Only Love]]'' with swimming team captain Koayu Utsumi, whose [[Gag Boobs]] jiggle just from her merely looking around, complete with sound effects (and it doesn't help that it's getting all the attention of all the guys around, which she hates so much, and especially since she's on lifeguard duty at the time).
* Happens at one time or another to most of the female cast of the anime releases of the ''[[Koihime Musou]]'' franchise who have large breasts, especially to Kannu. Ryuubi even gets to do it on purpose later in the series to [[Distracted by the Sexy|lure someone into a trap]].
* The entire point of ''[[Training with Hinako]]'' and its sequels.
* Haruhara Haruko in ''[[FLCL]]''. It is Gainax after all. Of particular note is the random bunny suit she wears during the big battle in episode 5.
* The eponymous Rio from ''[[Rio -Rainbow Gate!-]]'' has very bouncy assets, which get ample emphasis in the show. The fact that she dresses in an extremely revealing manner for a casino croupier, [[Bare Your Midriff|baring her midriff]] and [[Dangerously-Short Skirt|wearing an ultra-short skirt]], only exacerbates this.
* [[Played for Laughs]] in ''[[Seitokai Yakuindomo]]'' with Aria Ichijou. Being [[Ms. Fanservice]], her boobs jiggle on occasion, often to emphasize how [[A-Cup Angst|jealous the other girls are of her size]]. At one poimt, she ''willed them to bounce on their own'' when the discussion turned to them.
* [[Played for Laughs]] in the animated ''omake'' of ''[[Black Lagoon]]'', when Rock wakes up [[Gender Flip|as a woman]]... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoSMtWykUq8 "WITH HUGE BOOBS!"].
** In the series proper, Revy's very acrobatic [[Gun Fu]] causes this to occur during her fight scenes. More noticeable in some than others.
* ''[[Maicchingu Machiko Sensei]]'' was perhaps the first anime to do this, although the gainaxing in that show is tame by today's standards.
Line 157 ⟶ 160:
* [[Ms. Fanservice|Kurokami Medaka]] has this ''all the time'' in the [[Animated Adaptation]] of ''[[Medaka Box]]''. Complete with the bouncy sound effect. Well, it ''is'' a [[Studio Gainax]] anime...
* ''[[Seikon no Qwaser]]'' and ''[[Manyuu Hikencho]]'', takes this trope [[Up to Eleven]].
* ''[[Sekirei]]'' is a [[World of Buxom]] [[Harem Genre]] anime/manga that has the tagline ''Boobies for the win!'' and the nickname "''[[Pokémon]]'' with tits". You do the math.
* Rin in the ''[[BAKUON!!]]'' anime can't seem to make a moment small enough to ''avoid'' Gainaxing.
* ''[[Rail Wars!]]'': From the training montage in episode 1, it appears that Koumi has never heard of a sports bra. (When a video clip of her jiggling was posted to [[Danbooru]], the comments were along the lines of "that looks painful".)
== Eastern Animation ==
* [[Aachi and Ssipak]] has a female character that does this throughout the movie to hilarious effect. At one point, she somehow manages to find herself strapped to a motorcycle, riding on her rack, while bouncing down some stairs.
== Film ==
Line 174 ⟶ 177:
** [[Word of God]] states that the only part of Angelina Jolie that actually had any padding at all while filming was her breasts.
* In the [[Uwe Boll]] film ''[[House of the Dead (film)|House of the Dead]]'', Ona Grauer becomes outright pneumatic during a [[Outrun the Fireball|slow motion run during an explosion]]. Like Jell-O on springs, indeed.
* There are a couple of noteworthy sex scenes in ''[[Cabin Fever]]'' featuring [[Cerina Vincent]]'s magnificent milkmakers. But in particular, the second one involves a [[Toplessness From the Back|behind-the-back shot]] in which we can see an intense jiggle as she forcefully rides her lover du jour.
* In ''[[Zorro|The Legend of Zorro]],'' there's a scene where Catherine Zeta-Jones runs away from dogs in a low-cut dress. It's probably not intentional, given the shortness of the scene.
* In the Adam Sandler movie ''[[Click]]'', one of the uses Sandler's character finds for [[Rewriting Reality|a remote control that works on the real world]] is to use the "slow" function on a buxom jogger.
Line 182 ⟶ 185:
* Another particularly cringe-inducing example is when Caramon first realizes that Tika is a beautiful woman in the [[Sarcasm Mode|amazingly wonderful]] ''[[Dragonlance]]'' [[Animated Adaptation|film]].
* Surprisingly, there's a bit of Gainaxing in the [[Speed Racer (film)|live-action Speed Racer movie]]. No, seriously, take a look at Trixie (Christina Ricci) when she runs into the room during the [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|ninja fight scene]].
* Parodied in the [[Leslie Nielsen]] film ''[[Wrongfully Accused]]''
* ''[[Airplane!]]'' has a shot where we have a closeup on a wobbling jello plate while the plane is in turbulence, and then pans over to... well, [[Sarcasm Mode|just guess.]]
** Also, the scene where the passengers panic after the line "Does anyone know how to fly a plane?" has a topless woman appearing out of nowhere, jumping around close to the camera.
* ''[[G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra]]'' has a scene where the team is exercising in their gym, and Scarlett (Rachel Nichols) just happens to be jogging on a treadmill.
* Both Miss Scarlett and Yvette do this in ''[[Clue (film)|Clue]]''.
* [[Star Wars]] [[A New Hope]] of all places. Suffice to say they eventually had to tape down Carrie Fisher.
Line 193 ⟶ 196:
** The second one is a shirtless man whose [[Gag Penis]] bounces.
** And in a moment of [[Fan Disservice]], the third one is a fat hairy shirtless man with bouncing man-boobs.
* Probably the most horrifyingly disgusting instance of this is in the 2000 sequel to the Eddie Murphy remake of [[The Nutty Professor]], with Granny Klump.
== Literature ==
* [[Lois McMaster Bujold]]'s ''[[Vorkosigan Saga|Diplomatic Immunity]]'' mentions the 'charming effect' zero-G has on the female form.
* In [[Arthur C. Clarke]]'s ''[[Rendezvous With Rama]]'', Commander Norton notes how distracting women can be in zero-gravity, particularly if "sympathetic vibrations" occur.
* There is an interesting description of this happeneing to Big Boobied-Bertha in one of the ''[[How to Train Your Dragon (novel)|How to Train Your Dragon]]'' books.

* Elaine on ''[[Ally McBeal]]'' invented a vibrating bra that would make the wearer's breasts twirl in circles.

** So, forty years ago, did ''children's TV'' host Susan Stranks. [[Fetish Fuel]] for the under-fifteen set, anybody?
Line 216 ⟶ 217:
* Long before Pam Anderson hit the beach, Lynda Carter perfected the art of running in slow-motion in a bustier in the 70s ''[[Wonder Woman (TV series)|Wonder Woman]]'' TV series. There is a reason why some say "the ''Baywatch'' run" was invented by this series. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSR6isVJaEA Observe]
* ''[[The Price Is Right]].'' Seriously. Don't believe me? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noggIParXOA&NR=1 Watch this].
* Elliot from ''[[Scrubs]]'' is pretty much the show's [[Ms. Fanservice]], and it often happens because she can be neurotic and excitable. A particularly notable one is when they are in a bar with J.D. and Turk playing a game, Elliot wants to play along too, saying [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtEVy_zjr9Y "Oh... Do me! Do me!" while jumping up and down].
** Also after her makeover in "My All American Girl", walking down the hallway... bounce... bounce...
* Kelly Bundy from ''[[Married... with Children]]'' often did this whenever she got excited.
Line 226 ⟶ 227:
* Nissan car commercial [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKO-tZGuFDg&feature=fvw\]
* A ''[[Whose Line Is It Anyway?]]'' rendition of "News Flash" resulted in, well... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za1FuI-Zmdc Here you go].
* Despite having the page quote, ''[[Doctor Who]]'' is ''not'' an example, partly because it's live-action, and that would be impossible anyway. The line comes from when the character Cassandra, who'd been a flap of skin for the last few-hundred years, possesses Rose, and is rather enjoying her....assets. To be fair, she did the exact same thing when in the Doctor's body.

** If any character is the [[Soul Calibur]] shining example of jiggle physics, it's definitely Taki.
* Rouge the Bat, from the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series, often has boobs that bounce ''a lot''.
** In Sonic Adventure 2, go to a level with Rouge. Face the camera. Jump. Jump again.
*** Hilariously, the exact same motion engine is applied to her ears. They keep time with her tits perfectly.

*** Funnily enough, even Xiaomu, from [[Capcom vs. Whatever|Namco X Capcom]] has what little cleavage she has bounce. In fact, every female character with the exception of Suzuka and Kyon Feulion have bouncy breasts.
Line 282 ⟶ 280:
* Jessica from ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'', to the point where she distracts from the action taking place on screen whether you like it or not.
* Lucia and Sheena, the unlockable characters of ''[[Contra]] 4''. That is, if you look closely at their sprites.
* Lyn, from ''[[Fire Emblem]]: The Blazing Sword'', [https://web.archive.org/web/20160331212424/http://www.feplanet.net/sprites-archive-battle-animations/l/2160/2158 every time she attacks] while wielding her end game weapon.
* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 4'', {{spoiler|the player can induce this manually by jiggling the SIXAXIS controller during cutscenes.}}
* No mention of ''Metal Gear'''s PSP [[Spin-Off]] ''Metal Gear Ac!d 2''? They even gave you ''3D goggles'' for it.
Line 302 ⟶ 300:
** Speaking of [[Capcom vs. Whatever]], we had Rogue and Psylocke doing his when the Marvel crossovers really [[Incredibly Lame Pun|took off.]]
* Early ''[[Golden Sun]] DS'' gameplay footage shows at least one summon with gainaxing.
* ''[[
** Also, fellow [[Ms. Fanservice]] [[Little Bit Beastly|Mak]][[Genius Ditz|oto]] [[Cute Bruiser|Nan]][[Hot-Blooded|aya]] [
* ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]'': Estelle wishes she could bounce like [[Ms. Fanservice|Judith]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukZgaevRyqY&feature=related Especially in the PS3-version.]
* Kongiku from ''[[Muramasa: The Demon Blade]]'' has very large breasts that tend to wobble and jiggle constantly, even when she's not doing much other than standing there, breathing. The jiggle isn't as exaggerated as the most extreme examples of this trope, but is quite noticeable.
Line 312 ⟶ 310:
* Female Selkies from ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles]]''.
* The female protagonist from [[Epic Battle Fantasy]]'s breasts can be clicked on and they jiggle {{spoiler|there's even an achievement for it}}
* Every single game from Japanese [[Eroge|H-game]] maker Illusion. Being strictly h-games they generally have controls that affect the size, shape, firmness, effects of gravity....
** Surprisingly, somehow they seem to have averted (mostly) in their latest game which uses a different, much more realistic ([[Uncanny Valley|for varying degrees of realistic]]) engine versus their traditional anime-esque style games. There is still bounce, but much less Gainaxey.
* In one cutscene in ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]'', Batman tackles the newly [[Stripperiffic]] Harley Quinn by jumping on her through a pane of glass, causing her breasts to jiggle slightly.
* Evident on ''[[Primal]]'s'' [[Transformation Sequence
* Dr. Naomi in ''[[No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle]]'' has a preposterous bounce animation triggered when the player speaks to her in the laboratory. The self-awareness of this is heightened by Naomi's comment, 'Quit staring at me! I know what you're
** It's also found in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqaz1kDz14w intro] to Pure White Lover Bizarre Jelly, a parody of [[Magical Girl
* [[Ms. Fanservice]] Kasuga from ''[[Sengoku Basara]]'' previously never displayed this despite sporting some impressive [[Absolute Cleavage]]. However the latest game corrected this with subtle yet realistic bouncing, as did the anime series (where her breasts are much larger than normal and it was not all subtle).
* Being based on the [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]], it's a given with the licensed games. It does get hilarious in one of the older [[
* In ''[[Tokimeki Memorial|Tokimeki Memorial Taisen Puzzle Dama]]'', Yuko Asahina has some animated sprites where her breasts bounce.
** And ''Tokimeki Memorial 4'' has Fumiko Yanagi's breasts bounce in her [[Limit Break]] 's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGAmeo0Y27E#t=0m54s portait animation] during battles, as well as when she appears in the game's mini-OVA.
* All the female classes with even a sightly [[Fan Service|fanservicey]] outfit in ''[[Ragnarok Online]]'' have this. Is quite fascinating and disturbing to see the cutesy sprites' boobs bouncing when in idle battle mode.
* There's an animated ad on this wiki for a game apparently called ''Pristontale2'', consisting of your standard blue-skinned [[Hot Amazon]] in a backwards corset
* [[Stripperiffic|Echidna]] from ''[[The Bouncer]]''.
* [[Final Fantasy VII|Tifa]] in ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]] Dissidia: Duodecim
** It's also in a few of FF7's [[
* ''[[Gods Eater Burst]]'' has a small amount, but disturbingly, not for the human characters. Some female shape Aragami such as the Zygote, Sariel and Arda Nova Gainax quite a lot, most notably in Arda Nova's death closeup. Hell, [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100526032344/godeater/images/thumb/0/04/Amateras.jpg/531px-Amateras.jpg one monster] has a rack that may very well be visible from space!
* Selvaria of ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]''. Most of her major scenes focus either on her flaming blue badassity, or her.. um, "talents", and the jiggling is truly astounding when the camera's on them. One particularly dramatic scene suffers because of the focus on her breasts bouncing around in ''different directions''.
* ''[[Akatsuki Blitzkampf]]'' gives us Marilyn Sue, who's popular with fans both for her powerful, hard-hitting fighting style and for her huge, ''huge'' jugs that bounce and swing every which way as she smacks around her opponents.
* Princess Gwynevere from ''[[Dark Souls]]'' has some subtle
* The female Boss from ''[[
* In the original ''[[The Witcher|Witcher]]''{{'}}s tutorial, the first time Geralt walks with Triss in the opening cutscene, her mesh-necked top is ''very'' obviously jiggling.

* Nauseatingly parodied in [http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20061025 this] ''[[Ctrl+Alt+Del]]'' strip.
* One ''[[Gaia Online]]'' comic update shows Lex, Sasha, and [[Hot Mom|Ruby]] jogging in anticipation of an Olympics-themed event. About half the fan-edits of said comic focus more on Ruby's bouncing jubblies than anywhere else.
* Referenced in [http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php?view=archive&chapter=46522#184692 this] ''[[Skin Horse]]'' strip where a hacked game of [[Mario Kart]] is described (but not shown, tragically) as having Peach not wearing a shirt and having a "Gainax bounce".
* Discussed as a superpower in [http://bakedgoods.thecomicseries.com/comics/4 this] ''[[Baked Goods]]'' comic.
== Web Original ==
* Kerry Callen uses this trope to [http://kerrycallen.blogspot.com/2015/04/bullet-bouncing.html parody Wonder Woman].
== Web Video ==
* Just about every female humanoid in the infamous video ''[[Me! Me! Me!]]''.
== Western Animation ==
Line 355 ⟶ 359:
** In "The Cat and the Canary" the animators should've been given a bonus for the part where Black Canary takes off her jacket before she spars with Green Arrow.
* And ''[[The Backyardigans]]'' does it with Tyrone's '''ears''', particularly in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-rPOcm6clk&feature=related season 1's opening (who cares if it's in Spanish? Just pay attention on the bouncing)].
** The "Caveman's Best Friend" episode has Tyrone control the bouncing of his ears, even though it looked more like flapping during that episode.
* Several episodes of ''[[King of the Hill]]'' seem to have a rather excessive amount of closeups of Luanne's breasts while they jiggle.
* Victor's mum from ''[[Corpse Bride]]'' is subject to this trope, although it's hardly your typical case seeing as how she's [[Fan Disservice|middle-aged and overweight.]]
* ''[[Tripping the Rift]]'''s resident [[Ms. Fanservice]] Six was animated this way.
* Ralph Bakshi's ''[[Fire and Ice (animation)|Fire and Ice]]'' features a very early (1983) pair of life-drawn (but hugely amplified)
* Shadowcat from ''[[Wolverine and the X-Men]]'' had her breasts bounce when she went after the [[Creepy Child]] in the "Battle Lines" episode.
* In ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' Ursula, of all characters, got an inordinate amount of time spent on her to make sure she jiggled realistically.
Line 368 ⟶ 372:
* The animated short film, ''[[Loco Melones]]'', shows two of the women's boobs bouncing. Don't believe me, search for the short.
* The buxom old lady from ''[[Coraline (animation)|Coraline]]'' bounces quite a bit, particularly when she shoves her sister out of the way using her breasts. The [[Fan Disservice]] levels are [[Up to Eleven|cranked up to eleven]] later on when she appears to be jumping on a diving board... [[Squick|naked.]]
* Leshawna from ''[[Total Drama Island]]'' quite often, but it's very subtle.
** This has happened on occasion to Lindsay as well.
** Male example with Alejandro. No, seriously.
Line 377 ⟶ 381:
* Like every female character, and some of the heftier guys, in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxdA9_BLyVE&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL this] Confused.com commercial.
* In the ''[[Regular Show]]'' episode "Muscle Woman", both Starla AND Muscle Man get this a lot, effectively squickifying the episode.
* Aphrodite gives a little, light, slight boob shake when she turns in one episode of the animated ''[[Hercules (
** And the episode was...?
** It was more than likely the one called "Hercules and the Dream Date", which was animated by [[Disney Toon]], who often had the most detailed animation for Disney's animated shows back in the day.
* ''[[Family Guy]]'''s interpretation of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53CCyomA2u8 SabadoGigante.]
* [[Zatanna]] does it in the [[Batman Cold Open]] to the ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' episode "Chill of the Night!".
== Real Life ==
* This actually ''is'' possible in real life, but more subtle than in Studio Gainax shows. And they probably won't move in different directions.
** Not to mention that, depending on the size and level of intensity, it can be pretty damn painful for the person involved, and cause sagging in the long run.
* Scientists are looking for ways to transform the sheer kinetic energy provided by bouncing breasts into [https://web.archive.org/web/20110904004217/http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/06/bra-power-breast-charge-ipod.php stored electric power]. At the very least, an ample chest could provide a source of current for your iPod.
** This is no more or less practical than a kinetic generator clipped to the belt; scientists focusing on breast physics are simply making their own Fanservice. This is one way to draw attention to the technology, though; people remember and discuss the potential of boob power much more than the hip pack with the same functionality, which fell off the radar within a few days of reporting it.
* Other scientists (and programmers) have created the [https://web.archive.org/web/20120414105428/http://www.shockabsorber.co.uk/bounceometer/shock.html simulator] a level or two below the link to illustrate
