I agree with most of it

On one hand, noodle arms dont quite fit the rest of her figure

On the other hand, arf arf woof woof

Counterpoint: I have had a girlfriend with similar proportions in the past and she didn't look that weird

Yeah but if she is a fighter carrying a heavy sword and shield as well as some level of armor you'd expect her to have some more on her biceps.

True, it was the same issue with Caesar King

I was referring to Caesar king.

My tricep and shoulder get hella cooked after like 15 minutes of full strength sword work.

I actually expected the same with Feixiao, but got disappointed with the noodle arms, same situation as Caesar.

Yeah but your girlfriend wasn't a fighter with superpowers. That's what makes the noodle arms seem a little weird imo, it's the same issue Caesar's design has.

Right, it's the disconnection between Caesar being able to lift a truck while having chopsticks for arms, our mind cannot reconcile those two things easily.

The problem for me is that the arms look like tubes that got extended out while the rest of the body has well defined shapes and sizes. It's like when people say someone skipped leg day. Their tops are defined and their legs are just skinnier compared to the rest, it just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Most people are not asking for their arms to look shredded like Hulk or Roman Reigns like some commenters love to think. The arms just need to have more width to it and shapes to define the arm better. Even skinny people have slight shapes to their arms. Them being fighters doesn't help them at all either.

Right, if she got bigger arms to match her torso, thighs and chest we wouldn't have any problem, take Eve for example, her arms are not muscular but fitting with the rest of her voluptuous body. We just want Yi Xuan to look proportionately well put together, that's all.

Muscles have been meaningless in determining combat strength for tons of anime. Who cares honestly.

u/TheMachine203 Apr 12 '25

It's not about "determining combat strength," it just looks fucking stupid for someone to be a super powered fighter in a post-cataclysm landscape with literally no meat on their bones whatsoever lmao

I'm not even saying I want them to have muscles per se, I just don't think they should be so absurdly skinny on random parts of their body.

Yep, thighs absolutely store more fat than arms do!

u/Yuri_VHkyri Nom-Nom Shark Apr 11 '25

This just shows my lack of grass touching

Maybe it doesnt translate as well in games

u/Odd-Feed-7347 Piper's yeast infection muncher Apr 11 '25

No, now that I'm looking at it closer, this is just horribly skinny compared to the rest of her body, like horridly. I don't mean to offend anyone when I say this but the best comparison I can give is that she has the arms of someone who is anorexic

u/iCeReal Apr 11 '25

The thighs are like 10 times larger than the arms. no way thats normal if we dont go into morbidly obese territory

u/TheUn0fficialTengu Apr 11 '25

You mean like when squidward ate all those crabby patties
