He seems to be between 10–11 feet tall, has massively broad shoulders, wears chunky green armor, and has harsh facial features and a mohawk.
He's never actually tried to hurt anyone, but he can be kinda scary. except when he feels he's been exploited or tricked, like when he asked Yotsuba to invite Asagi to a water park but she only brings Fuka and Ena, causing an angry outburst when Fuka tries to take the flowers he had brought for Asagi. Takashi "Jumbo" Takeda from the Yotsuba&! manga is a really big guy, but he's friendly and quite harmless.Although she has little interest in sports, she is a natural athlete who almost always wins when asked to compete. Sakaki from Azumanga Daioh is a Huge Schoolgirl who's often perceived as brooding and unapproachable, when in reality she's just shy, self-conscious and absorbed in thinking about stuffed animals and other girlish matters.He is also easily moved to tears, and cares a great deal about the Elric brothers. Despite his immense raw power and efficiency on the battlefield, ultimately, it's Armstrong's compassion for the enemy that's preventing him from ever being promoted. Alex Luis Armstrong also fits this role like a glove.When he does get riled up, he's at least as good a fighter as his brother.but his mind and soul are still those of a young boy. A young boy whose soul is attached to a giant suit of armor, he is kind to everyone and loves cats, having a tendency of picking up strays and hiding them inside himself. Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist.A specific example being Alto and Sheryl hanging out with Klan, while having to be on a third story just to talk to face to face. Especially shown in Frontier, seeing as the majority of Zentradi tend to be average people while having average people look like dolls next to them.Just about any Zentradi on Macross after the original series.Muay Thay god of Death Apachai Hopachai, from Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple, has this trope´s name carved in his forehead.The anime gives him the name Ah-Un, and turns him into a gentle herbivore despite his pointed teeth and ability to shoot lightning and energy blasts from both mouths. In the anime, Sesshoumaru's two-headed dragon- horse pet is turned into this.Inuyasha the Half-Human Hybrid Jinenji has a giant monstrous form due to his half- Youkai heritage - and yet, abraisive as he is, all he wants to do is heal people.Narumi of Karakuri Circus qualifies he's a massive martial artist, and even has a rough attitude and temper, but he will never harm someone who doesn't deserve it in the utmost.Not to be confused with the British progressive rock band named Gentle Giant. If someone manages to push him too far, bad things will happen.Ĭompare The Grotesque. He may also like things that other guys will think of as "un-manly", and woe to you if you mock him for that.
An occasional subversion of this is to make him the most intelligent member of the group, either as a scientist and tech guy or as a cynic. The typical Gentle Giant is quiet and, while not "book smart" (and sometimes outright stupid), is usually closer to Earth. Two out of three examples of The Big Guy from the Five-Man Band are likely to be this type. This archetype is so common it's probably more surprising for the musclebound hulk to turn out to be an irreconcilable jerk or bloodthirsty killer. Starting back as far as Frankenstein's Monster or earlier, the seven-foot shambling hulk of a man is almost always gentle inside, and misunderstood by society at large. We are all used to thinking of big people and giant creatures as frightening and mean. This is a subversion of common sense that has become an archetype in its own right. However, when push comes to shove, he's great to have on your side in battle. He probably has a few unexpected hobbies. He loves children and puppies, and frequently abhors unnecessary violence.
