When baldness or a shaved head (e.g. a really close buzz cut like a "wiffle" or "induction" cut) is used to emphasize how tough and strong a character is. Toughness usually requires some degree of superior physical strength and durability like in Super-Toughness, Super-Strength, Made of Iron, and Nigh-Invulnerability, but a bald or shaved Badass Normal who has exhibited a great deal of perseverance and endurance through sheer force of will would also qualify. One reason behind this trope is that hair of medium and long length can get in the way when one is physically training, and when fighting can be a liability as enemies can grab you By the Hair preparatory for doing you ugly, so going completely bald or shaving one's head avoids the issue entirely. This is (in part) why many armed forces require new recruits to shave their heads before undergoing basic training. Symbolically, on the other hand, since hair acts as a natural defense against the elements, baldness can imply toughness as one is naturally more exposed to harsh weather than those with hair. While a character who is tough, strong, and bald/shaven from the outset of the story is typically how this trope is played, characters who shave their heads or lose their hair on their path to becoming tougher as an Expository Hairstyle Change or Important Hair Cut are also quite common. One version of this is a character becoming bald or shaving their heads after toughening up from a Training from Hell and gaining a Charles Atlas Superpower. There is also a gendered component to this trope due to the real world fact that high levels of testosterone are a leading cause of premature baldness. This has lead to the idea that Long Hair Is Feminine and that, along with an association of femininity with physical weakness, has made many treat baldness like a more extreme version of Real Men Have Short Hair, using this trope to reinforce depictions of Men Are Tough. If a bald guy is part of a team and they aren't the leader, they are very likely to be The Big Guy. That said, there is also a distinct trend for tough female characters to be bald, especially within the action and science fiction genres. Long Hair Is Feminine and Women Are Delicate? No problem, just remove the hair and now you have a visual short-hand for tough-as-nails, emotionally hardened, and likely battle-weary female characters. Such characters are almost always Action Girls and/or Tomboys with the bald/shaved head functioning similarly to Boyish Short Hair, Braids of Action, and Tomboyish Ponytail. A Trope In Aggregate. Related to Delinquent Hair, as many of those in counterculture movements have adopted head-shaving and general baldness as part of their aesthetics as a form of intimidation. Compare Manly Facial Hair. Contrast Baldness Angst and Baldness Means Sickness. See also Prematurely Bald, which may lead into this trope, but is often accompanied with Baldness Angst due to social stigmas. Can overlap with Bald Mystic if the character is both mystical and durable/notably resilient. Not to be confused with Hard Head, which may be used to help portray this trope. |

Bleach: Of the 13 squads that govern Soul Society, Squad 11 specializes in combat (forgoing kido) and does not accept anyone who isn't a Blood Knight. Naturally, one of the only two bald characters in Soul Society, Ikkaku Madarame, is a member of the team. Though originally the 3rd seat, he was also widely known as having vice-captain level abilities. Making fun of his baldness however does get under his skin. In a bit of a subversion, when he finally develops his Bankai it's a Glass Cannon, trading in defensive durability for offensive power. The second bald character in Soul Society? That'd be Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the late Captain of the First Squad and Captain-Commander of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads, the uncontested most powerful person in Soul Society, and arguably the series, with few others even coming close. Outside of his Playing with Fire Bankai, note which is so destructive that he can only use it for a fraction of a second, without risking incinerating the entire world and everyone on it his robes belie an incredibly muscular physique that indicates his superior strength and durability: he easily fought Espada-level Arrancar Wonderweiss barehanded, shattering him completely with a single double-fisted punch. |

Like a Dragon: Yakuza 0: Wen Hai Lee, the owner of Hogushi Kaikan, who acts as an acupuncturist and masseur. He was formerly a Pro Assassin, which helps his masseur and acupuncturist job considering that he knows pressure points (In the first fight with Majima, he threatens to break the cyclops' left arm with a thumb. Miss the QTE in time, and you're treated to this sight...), and despite his massive Heroic Build, uses Wing-Chun instead of a more strength based fighting style. He's also huge enough to be humorously titled by the game as MASSIVE MAN. With the Parka, he also looks like Yakuza 4 & Yakuza 5 protagonist, Taiga Saejima, shaved head and all. There's also Kenji Oe, one of the huge "Mr. Shakedown" guys, whose sole purpose of fighting Majima is out of jealousy of Majima's long hair. This is also why he shakes down people: for the money to pay for an extremely expensive treatment to grow hair, which Majima attempts to convince is a fraud, and albeit initially successful, angers Kenji by saying "Scalp". Yakuza: There's Futoshi Shimano, who, despite being a much weaker Mr. Shakedown, makes up for it in sheer dominance, brutality, and power, along with a few cases of cunning strategy, with the Irezumi on his back being a Tiger, and according to the Japanese saying: "Ryuko Aitatsu", the Tiger is the Dragon's equal. In the Video Game Remake Kiwami, this trope is further stressed as he is given an absurd amount of health, emphasizing his high durability. Unlike a lot of the Patriarchs during the game, Shimano's completely bald. Yakuza 3 has The Brutish Tsuyoshi Kanda, who's completely bald, and Unskilled, but Strong, the strong part being that he's capable of ripping out decorations installed into the walls and lifting up heavy objects easily, and the unskilled part being that before his death, he lunges at Mine but gets overpowered fairly quickly. Like his predecessor Koji Shindo, he's a lustful man who only took to the Nishikiyama throne only for the purpose of getting laid, though he did use quite a lot of brute force, contrasting with the other two cold and calculating Lieutenants Yoshitaka Mine and Goh Hamazaki. Mine takes him out, though. Yakuza 5: Taiga Saejima has a buzz cut in Yakuza 5 and up until Yakuza: Like a Dragon, after returning from prison. Out of all of the protagonists in the series, he is the strongest in terms of raw physical strength, having developed his Charles Atlas Superpower of immense strength and durability in jail. Notably, he is the only other protagonist besides Kiryu, able to pick up motorcycles and in one cut scene, stops a moving car with his bare hands before moving out of the way. In Yakuza 4, he also once fought Kiryu outside of Morning Glory Orphanage, and he actually managed to give him a run for his money. The two clashed once more in Yakuza 5 on a helipad but it's up to the player on who they want to play as. Like with Futoshi Shimano, Saejima also has a Tiger Irezumi, but manages to back it up even more than Shimano can. On a much smaller scale, there is Yahata, the captain of the Yagasawa Clan. He's bald, a considerably violent thug, and a Boxing Battler. He gets knocked down by Kiryu in a Single-Stroke Battle (To be fair, Yahata was considerably injured at the time), but manages to put up a good fight before Kiryu lays him out. Yakuza 6 has Ed of the Saio Triad, who's completely bald save for his goatee. He's an absolute Determinator, uses his Stout Strength, his Acrofatic abilities, and his karambit skill to fight Kiryu and Co. To a lesser extent, Kanji Koshimizu. Practically shaved to the point where he looks bald, and a particularly proficient fighter. |

In The Matrix, most people of both sexes in the in-story real world of The Matrix are either bald or very close-shaven. This is in part justified because it would appear that the machines' People Jars prevent hair growth for those inside and hair could cover the port to hook up into The Matrix, but most of the characters would presumably have been out for long enough to grow some more hair (like Neo eventually does), so that's probably not why everyone's hair is like that. This helps create a contrast between the harsh, limited living conditions of reality and the cushy, comfortable, but ultimately controlled, lifestyle within The Matrix. | |

Legend of Korra: Downplayed with the Big Bad of the third season, Zaheer. He was considered so dangerous as a Badass Normal that he was imprisoned along with the bending members of the White Lotus and in jail, his hair is long and unkempt. However, due to the Convergence of the previous season, he gains the ability to airbend, making him formidable enough to challenge and almost kill Korra. After breaking out of prison, he shaves his head completely making him look quite similar to the Air Nomads whose philosophy he has an extensive knowledge of. | |

Dragon Age: Inquisition has the bald and black Vivienne, an Action Girl mage and Knight-Enchanter. She is portrayed as The Unfettered and an Ice Queen, almost to a fault, and does not experience any real defrosting over the course of the game. Almost everything she says is layered in icy, razor-sharp politeness and she gives away her true feelings about as freely as other people give up their limbs. Her in-game moniker is "Madame de Fer", French for "Iron Lady". | |

Persona 5: Shido's shadow Samael's design invokes this as it's essentially him (who already sports a Bald of Evil), just ripped out of his mind, now a hulking mass of a man. Futaba lampshades this by saying that Shido's muscles aren't just for show. As the pen-ultimate boss of the original game, he's one of the toughest, consisting of five different phases, the first of which is impervious to physical and gun attacks and the second is impervious to magic attacks. After this, he transforms and though this form is no longer impervious to specific attacks, it also lacks any weaknesses and his physical ability Tyrant's Fist can one shot most characters, in addition to him using the strongest magic attacks in the game. | |

Mad Max: Fury Road: Furiosa rocks a shaved head and is a badass of the highest order in a world where being a badass is almost a requirement for survival. She's capable with a sniper, a strong hand-to-hand combatant, and refuses to back down, no matter the cost, of her goal of taking down Immorten Joe. This was apparently invoked by Charlize Theron, who portrays Furiosa, in order to create more contrast between Furiosa and The Wives. | |

Pathfinder: Linxia Benzekri from the Hell's Vengeance Adventure Path has her head shaved bald, a tattoo of the Order of the Rack's insignia of a spiked wheel on her forehead, and is the Iconic Hellknight. The Hellknights are a group of militant orders that ruthlessly enforce the law and slay demons. Linxia's backstory describes her desensitizing herself to pain by drinking boiling water until her throat scarred, and beheading her own brother without a second thought after he was convicted of rebellion. | |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: The MCU version of Nebula is a bald, Cyborg, Dark Action Girl who has Super-Strength and Super-Toughness. The years of torture she suffered under Thanos as he forced more cybernetic upgrades on her to make her stronger has hardened her emotionally. She is also characterized as a Determinator, shown by her ability to establish herself as the new leader of the Ravagers even when she's down a hand in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. | |

One-Punch Man: Both the protagonist Saitama and another hero, Superalloy Blackluster, originally had hair when they were ordinary people. Their baldness came as a consequence of gaining the Charles Atlas Superpowers of Super-Strength and Super-Toughness by doing simple exercises every day - literally training so hard they went bald. Saitama does express Baldness Angst and his lack of hair is often Played for Laughs; Superalloy, on the other hand, appears to prefer his new smooth and shiny look. | |

Overwatch: Doomfist is the bald leader of the villainous group Talon and one of the principal antagonists of the larger Overwatch universe. Standing at an impressive 7ft tall, his close combat playstyle is oriented around his cybernetic enabled Super-Strength that, paired with his range abilities, makes him into a Lightning Bruiser capable of 1 v 3-ing Tracer, Genji, and Winston with little issue, that is, until Winston enters his Unstoppable Rage form. In-universe he is treated as The Dreaded. | |

Yakuza 0: Wen Hai Lee, the owner of Hogushi Kaikan, who acts as an acupuncturist and masseur. He was formerly a Pro Assassin, which helps his masseur and acupuncturist job considering that he knows pressure points (In the first fight with Majima, he threatens to break the cyclops' left arm with a thumb. Miss the QTE in time, and you're treated to this sight...), and despite his massive Heroic Build, uses Wing-Chun instead of a more strength based fighting style. He's also huge enough to be humorously titled by the game as MASSIVE MAN. With the Parka, he also looks like Yakuza 4 & Yakuza 5 protagonist, Taiga Saejima, shaved head and all. There's also Kenji Oe, one of the huge "Mr. Shakedown" guys, whose sole purpose of fighting Majima is out of jealousy of Majima's long hair. This is also why he shakes down people: for the money to pay for an extremely expensive treatment to grow hair, which Majima attempts to convince is a fraud, and albeit initially successful, angers Kenji by saying "Scalp". |

Yakuza: There's Futoshi Shimano, who, despite being a much weaker Mr. Shakedown, makes up for it in sheer dominance, brutality, and power, along with a few cases of cunning strategy, with the Irezumi on his back being a Tiger, and according to the Japanese saying: "Ryuko Aitatsu", the Tiger is the Dragon's equal. In the Video Game Remake Kiwami, this trope is further stressed as he is given an absurd amount of health, emphasizing his high durability. Unlike a lot of the Patriarchs during the game, Shimano's completely bald. | |

Yakuza 3 has The Brutish Tsuyoshi Kanda, who's completely bald, and Unskilled, but Strong, the strong part being that he's capable of ripping out decorations installed into the walls and lifting up heavy objects easily, and the unskilled part being that before his death, he lunges at Mine but gets overpowered fairly quickly. Like his predecessor Koji Shindo, he's a lustful man who only took to the Nishikiyama throne only for the purpose of getting laid, though he did use quite a lot of brute force, contrasting with the other two cold and calculating Lieutenants Yoshitaka Mine and Goh Hamazaki. Mine takes him out, though. | |

Taiga Saejima has a buzz cut in Yakuza 5 and up until Yakuza: Like a Dragon, after returning from prison. Out of all of the protagonists in the series, he is the strongest in terms of raw physical strength, having developed his Charles Atlas Superpower of immense strength and durability in jail. Notably, he is the only other protagonist besides Kiryu, able to pick up motorcycles and in one cut scene, stops a moving car with his bare hands before moving out of the way. In Yakuza 4, he also once fought Kiryu outside of Morning Glory Orphanage, and he actually managed to give him a run for his money. The two clashed once more in Yakuza 5 on a helipad but it's up to the player on who they want to play as. Like with Futoshi Shimano, Saejima also has a Tiger Irezumi, but manages to back it up even more than Shimano can. | |

Yakuza 6 has Ed of the Saio Triad, who's completely bald save for his goatee. He's an absolute Determinator, uses his Stout Strength, his Acrofatic abilities, and his karambit skill to fight Kiryu and Co. To a lesser extent, Kanji Koshimizu. Practically shaved to the point where he looks bald, and a particularly proficient fighter. |

Max Payne 3: Max shaves his head halfway through the game so that he won't be recognized when he goes into the favela to rescue Fabiana. It also counts as an Important Haircut since it coincides with his decision to kick his alcoholism. Once he gets over the immediate effects of withdrawal, he becomes more focused and truly begins to wreck the villains' plans. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Combustion Man is one of the toughest antagonists the Gaang faces in the entire series. Hired by Zuko to kill Aang, he doesn't have much characterization or backstory given to him other than being an Implacable Man, hellbent on killing Aang, who uses a unique form of firebending that only one other person in the series is capable of using. Zig-zagged with Aang (airbenders are almost all monks and practice tonsure) who has the potential to be the strongest person in the universe as the Avatar, but starts the series as an 11 year old boy who only knows airbending and actually ran away from his duties out of fear. Even after he learns the other elements, Aang is far more likely to rely on his airbending to evade attacks and battles than take a fight head on. In Season 3, his hair grows back after some time in a coma, which he keeps in order to lay low while in the enemy Fire Nation. Finally played straight when he shaves his head again for his attack on the Fire Lord during the Eclipse, signifying he's ready to face the Fire Lord and has strengthened his resolve to defeat him. |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Captain Sisko shaved his hair at the start of Season 4. At the same time, in "The Way of the Warrior", he begins to transition into a wartime commander as the Klingons turn hostile, starting with him fighting to defend Ops against a Boarding Party along with his crew. In general, Sisko demonstrates greater willingness to get down and dirty in the trenches when compared to Picard. Avery Brooks was in the habit of shaving his head and styling his beard as a goatee (see his earlier work in Spenser For Hire and A Man Called Hawk). Initially; his contract to play Sisko required that he grow out his hair and shave the beard. Brooks convinced the showrunners to let him go back to his preferred look, which they worked into Sisko's character arc. |

Mother Russia Bleeds has two bald options for the main character and both fit. First is Ivan, The Big Guy of the 4 man band. He's got a nasty scar, the strongest yet slowest of the group, and a gruff personality, not helped by being drugged on Nekro. Second is Boris, the savage of the 4 man band. He's naturally quick, but his psychotic energy makes him very brutal and resilient, like a cockroach, and it helps that Nekro gives him extra strength and vitality. |

Mass Effect 2: Jack is an Ax-Crazy, biotic, Glass Cannon, Dark Action Girl, who is canonically one of the strongest biotic users in the franchise due to being experimented on from childhood by Cerberus to be so. Her biotic strength is paired with an emotional hardness and lack of care about anyone else besides herself that makes getting close to her difficult. She has her head shaved and tattooed when you recruit her on your team in this game. If you were able to break through her emotional barriers, when you meet her in Mass Effect 3 she has transitioned from a Jerkass to a Jerk with a Heart of Gold, who now oversees and trains a young group of biotics. Along with her softening emotionally, she has grown out her hair into a still edgy Tomboyish Ponytail with shaved sides look. | |

Alien³: Downplayed. Ellen Ripley was already an Action Girl and Final Girl after being the sole survivor of her crew in Alien and going against and killing Xenomorphs in both preceding films. In this movie, her going bald is incidental: a lice break out on the prison her ship crashed on forces everyone to shave their heads completely bald to stop the spread. That said, it's in this film she becomes a survivor of attempted rape and musters up the willpower to kill herself in order to kill the Xenomorph Queen embryo gestating inside of her. | |

Final Fantasy VII Remake: Though he has always been portrayed as a competent hand to hand combatant in the original game and subsequent spin-offs, cool-headed and bald Rude's portrayal as a Mighty Glacier in the remake, who shrugs off blows, hits hard, and can suplex Cloud with ease, takes this to a different level. Compare his battle with Cloud to Cloud's battle with Rude's partner Reno: Cloud nearly kills Reno, whereas his fight with Rude only ends because Reno calls Rude away, ending more or less as a draw. | |

Steins;Gate: Yuugo Tennouji, the physically strongest character in the series, is also the only fully bald one. Nicknamed "Mr. Braun" because of his love of CRT/Braun-tube TVs (lifting them all day is presumably what gave him his muscles), he is so intimidating to Okabe, his tenant, that the latter will try to get on his good graces whenever he seems to have made him mad for fear of a beatdown and/or eviction. He also turns out to be the Big Bad as the ruthless leader of a secret group of Private Military Contractors, crossing over with Bald of Evil. Notably, in the prequel Brownian Motion of Love and Hate, he still has his hair and is much more average—it's only after he is forced into working under SERN that he gets his bald, buff look. | |

Punch-Out!! has its share of hairless heavyweights, but none are more prominent than resident Wake-Up Call Boss Bald Bull, who's just as chrome-domed and ruthless as his moniker implies. In the NES game in particular, he acts as both the champion of the Major Circuit and as a rematch on the World Circuit. Both times, he acts as a massive difficulty spike, having the hard-to-dodge Bull Charge as his signature attack and, in the World Circuit, being immune to knockouts except through either Star Uppercuts or perfectly countering the Bull Charge. | |

Luke Cage: The titular hero Luke Cage has Super-Strength and is Made of Iron after an experiment on cell regeneration he was a test subject for was sabotaged. Notably, when first created he was an Afro Asskicker; in the 1990s, he sported a fade and sometimes a durag; since the 2000s though, he has been depicted as completely bald. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: While the fish in the world of Spongebob are hairless as a default due to the fact that fish don't have hair, Reg, the bouncer to the Salty Spitoon, the toughest bar in Bikini Bottom, actually has an Off-Model shaved head. As the bouncer of the bar which only allows the toughest of tough in, Reg is essentially the arbiter of toughness. In the same episode, the two stereotypical nerd fish at the designated restaurant for wimps SpongeBob returns to throughout the episode, Weenie Hut Jr.'s, discuss this trope as they advise SpongeBob on how to get into the Salty Spitoon. |

Hunter × Hunter: During the Hunter Exam, Hanzo is bald as the day he was born and is portrayed as a comedic character, who is even called out by Tonpa for talking too much and being too social to be a ninja. But in a case of Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass, his one-on-one duel against Gon is a Curb-Stomp Battle that under normal conditions (i.e. subdue or incapacitate your foe), would've ended in an overwhelming and near-instantaneous victory, due to Hanzo's superior speed and strength. Inverted with Knov, who goes Prematurely Bald after coming into contact with Shaiapouf's malevolent En. The immense fear he feels by being around the Chimera Ant Royal Guards turns Knov's jet black hair completely white as he breaks down, realizing he would likely die should he have to face any of them 1-on-1. Knov forces himself to complete his infiltration job for the mission, but is in such bad shape mentally by the end that the stress causes him to lose every hair on his head. |

Bully: Jimmy Hopkins is the protagonist of the game, a Bully Hunter who takes on every clique at his new boarding school as a One-Man Army in order to end the rampant bullying, aided by his natural Made of Iron disposition as he's capable of shrugging off bats broken over his head, a sledgehammer hit that sends him flying, and even blows from a prized boxing champion. His default hairstyle is a ginger buzz cut, likely enforced from one of the previous schools he's been expelled from. The player can take this further in-game by making him completely bald or subvert the trope by allowing him to grow his hair out. | |

Hajime no Ippo: After leaving the Kamogawa Boxing Gym, Naomichi Yamada undergoes a drastic makeover, including shaving off his hair and eyebrows. Combined with his skinnier look and his facial structure having changed due to the punches he received on his face, he looks incredibly scary with his bald appearance. With his new makeover, he goes under the stage name Hammer Nao, who punches so hard that he can make his opponent puke, a symbolic reversal of how Yamada used to puke all the time during training. | |

Chuck from Weapon Brown has one strand of hair on his head, drawn in the same fashion as his inspiration, Charlie Brown, as a reference to the fact that some readers thought Charlie Brown was bald instead of just having (according to Charles Schultz) very close-cropped light-colored hair. Though in Chuck's his baldness fits his career path as a gun-for-hire and his life as a rugged, stubborn survivalist pretty well. | |

Breaking Bad: The show follows Walter White, who becomes a drug dealer after being diagnosed with cancer to ensure there is enough money for his family after he dies. He shaves his head while undergoing chemotherapy, right before Taking a Level In Badass by adopting the hardened, ruthless drug kingpin persona he names "Heisenberg," whom he'd slowly morph into over the course of the show. Lampshaded by his son who reacts to seeing his dad's new look with "Badass, dad!" A number of other criminal figures have bald heads, to the point that it becomes visual shorthand for a badass in the series. In one episode, a paranoid Jesse spots a bald man in a park and begins suspecting that he's a hitman, only for it to be revealed that the man is simply a dad on an outing with his young daughter. |

He is later revealed to be a former CIA agent who helped stop an alien threat, but subverted since, according to the Grand Councilwoman, he actually had hair back when he was in that tougher job. He also softens towards Nani and Lilo at the end of the film and bonds with their blended family, showing up in later installments of the franchise as an ally. | |
