Afro Asskicker	comment	As a result of the rise of the Black Power movement, a common fixture in Blaxploitation movies but by no means unique to them is the presence of an afro-wearing brawler or martial artist, most of whom happen to be of Black African descent. Their afros are commonly on the very large side, but fighters with relatively short afros are also perfectly viable examples of the trope. Either way, their afros are considered very much part of their appeal. While hairstyles involving afro-textured hair have existed in some form for centuries amongst people in Africa itself and the African diaspora elsewhere, the afro proper as popularly understood has its origins in the United States during the late 1960s and early 1970s with the rise of the Black Power movement in general and the "Black is beautiful" movement in particular, serving as a direct rejection of Eurocentric beauty standards regarding hair. Prior to this, many Black Americans in the United States would chemically straighten their curly afro-textured hair due to it being seen as "dirty" or "unkempt" by white Americans in its natural state. The other thing that was happening in the '60s and '70s was the rise of the Martial Arts Movie. Hong Kong martial arts films were enormously popular with black American audiences, who could often relate to the underdog protagonists in their struggles against corrupt and oppressive authorities, and who - unlike most white American audiences at the time - were already quite used to seeing characters of a different race on the screen, so it wasn't long before American studios started combining kung fu with blaxploitation; Cleopatra Jones is generally considered the first film to bridge the two genres, and the title character is very much an example of this trope. Therefore, the Afro Asskicker is frequently - though by no means always - skilled in Eastern-style martial arts. Closely related to the Soul Brotha, an incredibly cool Black person who often wears an afro as part of their appeal, but the emphasis is more on their general coolness than their fighting ability. A Jive Turkey may have some overlap if they happen to be a afro-wearing fighter who happens to talk in a stereotypically outdated "street" manner, but is considered insensitive at best to harshly racist at worst due to straight examples tending to come off as mockingly depicting Black people speaking AAVE as buffoonish and/or inarticulate. For afros played for comedy as opposed to badassery, see Funny Afro. Examples

Afro Asskicker / int_1173aa7e	comment	Misty Knight, Monica Rambeau, and Luke Cage from the Marvel Universe. Whereas Monica has updated her hairstyle each decade, Misty's afro is so iconic (she was Marvel's answer to the Blaxploitation craze), she has kept it up to the present day. Cage, meanwhile, has simply shaved his head and regards his Afro days as something of an Old Shame (though more because of outfit he wore with it than the Afro itself).

The early episode "Stray Dog Strut" has a villain named Abdul Hakim, who is a pretty overt expy for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, specifically as he appears in Game of Death. As such, Abdul has an impressive afro and hand-to-hand combat skills to match. The later episode "Mushroom Samba" is an homage to old blaxploitation movies, and is chock-full of such characters, including expies of Shaft and Coffy.

Afro Asskicker / int_9e2f90f4	comment	One Piece: There's Brook, a skeleton. Even after his death his afro remained due to having "Deep roots". His hair is actually a plot point as, being a skeleton, he will be no longer recognisable to the whale he met 50 years ago except for his afro; due to him being an skeleton, it won't grow back if damaged. He does anything he can to protect his afro. Luckily for him he has all the strength of a living body with all the weight he's lost from being reduced to bones and hair, which is to say he's really strong. Wapol's magistrate Kuromarimo not only had an afro, but fights with afros! They get stuck to the opponent via static electricity, whereupon his partner Chess can set them on fire. Then in the Davy Back Fight, when Luffy had a boxing match, it was decided he should wear an afro wig, since that would make him stronger. It was Played for Laughs at first, but it ultimately worked. There's former Fleet Admiral Sengoku, though you rarely see it as he wears a hat. He leads the Asskicking Leads to Leadership Marines and later shows that he ate a Devil Fruit that gave him the ability to turn into a giant golden Buddha-like moving statue, afro and all.

Afro Asskicker / int_a3496fb1	comment	Ichiban Kasuga of Yakuza: Like a Dragon is an unintentional example of one. After spending years in prison and being set free in 2019, he goes to a barber to get his old 90s-style punch perm back. Of course, since the style has long fallen out of fashion by 2019, the barber has absolutely no idea what she's doing, and the result is a wild, messy afro. Strangely, even though Ichiban is horrified at first and several people make fun of him for it, he never does anything about it. Nor does it diminish his fighting and leadership abilities any.
