Real Men Wear Pink: Difference between revisions

Line 122:

** Somewhat closer to the title of the trope, in the anime one of the outfits Ranma [[Limited Wardrobe|most commonly wears]] is a [[Sleeves Are for Wimps|short-sleeved]] pastel-orange shirt and little red bowtie. Keep in mind that this is the same [[Badass|practitioner]] of [[Supernatural Martial Arts]] who can [[Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs|punch you over 500 times per second]], [[Super Speed|move so fast you can't even see him do so]], [[Super Strength|smash through concrete without noticing]] and not only [[Made of Iron|withstand a blow that should have broken every bone in his body]], but be capable of fighting on at full capacity [[Healing Factor|mere moments later]].

* Drake Anderson from the ''[[Read or Die]]'' OVA is a badass, gruff mercenary capable of taking out super-powered enemies in hand to hand combat, surviving helicopter crashes without a scratch, and is outright feared by Paper-users for his prowess against them. He also enjoys pottery, sightseeing, and classical literature.

* ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'':

* ~~''[[Rurouni~~ Kenshin~~]]''—Kenshin~~ Himura is short, wears his long hair in a ponytail, always wears his pink kimono, cooks, washes the clothes, and cleans around the dojo... and he's the fearsome [[Red Baron|Battousai the Man-Slayer.]] In the Japanese version of the anime, he's voiced by a woman.

In the manga, Nobuhiro Watsuki claims he based Kenshin on Genzai Kawakami, an assassin during the bakumatsu who was short, thin and easily confused with a woman... he used it to his advantage by crossdressing and hiding at Geisha Houses after killing.

** Also of note is that in the manga, Kenshin is constantly mistaken for a woman, despite carrying a sword around (which was forbidden at the time) and having a [[X Marks the Hero|big badass scar on his face.]] He also serves as a babysitter to Dr. Gensai's granddaughters (exclusive to the anime as near as it can be told).

* Bontenmaru from ''[[Samurai Deeper Kyo]]'' can literally rip a man in half with his bare hands. He hangs out with several [[Badass]] killers, and reads shoujo manga.

* The ''[[Terminator (franchise)|Terminator]]'' of ''[[Seto no Hanayome]]'' initially crossdresses as a schoolgirl in attempt to understand his beloved daughter's heart through [[Moe Moe]] stereotypes. ''Initially'', because he inexplicably continues to wear the outfit in future appearances. He's ''the freaking Terminator'', though, ''with [[Eye Beams|laser beam eyes]]'', so it isn't like anyone (besides his daughter) is ever going to call him out on it. He even really does wear pink . . . {{spoiler|[[Panty Shot|panties]].}}

Line 138:

* Galvatron, the [[Big Bad]] of Transformers - Beast Wars II, is totally PINK. He even transforms into a giant pink dragon (make of that what you will). Despite that, he is a deadly serious villain, and in his dragon form, a rampaging unstoppable monster attacking friend or foe. Well, except when he is sleeping - which he does for most of the series.

* Eguchi, the main character of the popular biker gang series ''Shounan Bakusozoku'' (aka ''Bomber Bikers of Shonan''), isn't just the leader of the titular biker gang but also of his school's handicraft club.
