* The [[Humongous Mecha]] of the [[Alternate Universe]] in ''[[Parallel Trouble Adventure Dual|Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure]]'' only work for girls, with the execption of Kazuki. {{spoiler|The reason Kazuki can is because his parallel twin is a Mecha.}} {{spoiler|The reason only girls can pilot the Mecha is a limiter that was put in place, because men could make them produce [[Tenchi Muyo!|Light Hawk Wings]], which makes this an [[Inverted Trope|inversion]].}}
* Only girls can be [[Sailor Moon|Sailor Senshi]], end of story. Tuxedo Kamen is the closest the series has to a male Sailor and represents Earth in the lineup, but his power comes from the Golden Crystal, the counterpart to the Silver Crystal, not a Sailor Crystal like the rest of the Senshi. This is what justifies the idea of [[Sailor Earth]].
* Only girls can become magical, well, girls, in [[Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]. There's no specific reason why there ''couldn't'' be a magical boy, but {{spoiler|Kyubey and the rest of his alien race specifically target pubescent girls because their emotional output is much higher than any other human demographic; it's just not worth the investment for them to try to harvest anyone else.}}
Line 25:
* The titular ''[[Infinite Stratos]]'' combat exoskeletons are only usable by women, with the sole exception of the main male protagonist. Apparently according to the inventor, this wasn't intentional, but she won't care to fix this, nor find out why the main character can use it despite his gender.
* ''[[Kämpfer]]'', all the fighters are female and the only one who isn't goes through a [[Gender Bender]] to do so.
** Justified because the person distributing all of the Entrails Animals that make Kämpfers is {{spoiler|Kaede and she's not interested in boys ''at all''.}}
* [[Gender Inverted Trope|Gender inverted]] in ''[[D.N.Angel]]'' since only males can bear the "Dark" gene that allows them to take on their magical boy form.
