Emotional Bruiser	comment	Oddly, it is understood that, while Men Don't Cry, the biggest, strongest guys are allowed more leeway in this respect than the average man or the hero. Perhaps because he was so tough nobody ever called him a "wimp" or "crybaby", so he was never bullied into hiding his emotions like others. Maybe it's just cultural: Russian or African society may value stoicism less than, for example, the uptight British, so that the Scary Black Man and the Husky Russkie can show their grief more openly than the Eaglelander or the Quintessential British Gentleman. Maybe it's just that big guys are generally uninhibited. Maybe it's something to do with the sensitive tough stereotype. Whatever; The Big Guy and/or the Boisterous Bruiser gets to cry more with less loss of credibility than other men. Also, big bruisers are allowed to have a soft spot for children. Partly this is to make them less frightening. The other, more worrying part is that it seems safer than allowing normal-sized men to like kids. Does he know his own strength? They are also less inhibited about a Man Hug, though your ribs may regret the experience after. Sub-Trope of Bruiser with a Soft Center. Contrast Sensitive Guy and Manly Man where the traits are divvied up. See also Gentle Giant, Real Men Wear Pink, and Manly Tears.

Ichigo, feeling guilty, apologises and Jidanbou cries even more at what good, generous person Ichigo is to care for his enemy. Turns out he's a Gentle Giant who was just doing his job of guarding the entrance gate to the shinigami's capital city. Unsurprisingly, Ichigo and Jidanbou become friends after that.

Emotional Bruiser / int_32c541e6	comment	Fullmetal Alchemist gives us Alex Louis Armstrong, one of the biggest members of the Amestris military as well as among the most emotional and awesome ones. In fact, he's also the source of a HUGE Tear Jerker in the backstory, as he weeps and holds the lifeless body of an Ishvalan child right after the infamous Ishvalan massacre. Also the fact that he attempts to save some Ishvalan women and children, only for Kimblee to blow them up as they were running away. And the Crimson Alchemist acts like he did Armstrong a favor. No wonder the poor man wept tears like hot bullets right then. Then there's his reaction at Hughes' funeral, spurred on by Maes' daughter pulling a Please Wake Up. More amusingly, Armstrong is, in general, driven to excessive tears by just about anything remotely emotional, and he's also quite fond of delivering bear hugs, as seen in the page image (which has hilarious results when delivered to someone much smaller than he is).

He has a short fuse and a melancholy side, and is specifically noted as crying on multiple occasions, in one case by his beloved little daughter. He's easily moved by Cloud showing concern about politics, or by his own beliefs about the Planet. When entering the Gold Saucer, Aeris makes fun of Barret's broody personality, and then worries she's caused offence when he storms off in a rage.

Emotional Bruiser / int_654ebc56	comment	Joseph Joestar of Jojos Bizarre Adventure is a cool, wisecracking Combat Pragmatist, yet he wept like a baby when Caesar Zeppeli died, and he wasn't afraid to show it. One of Joseph's foes, The Hot-Blooded Blaze King Esidisi, has erratic emotions that arguably make him a more terrifying opponent than his more stoic companions. Having his arm cut off in the middle of a heated battle, Esidisi bursts into a hysterical mess for all of about ten seconds. Joseph is extremely unnerved, even after he regains his composure. Esidisi's emotional investment in his comrade's plans drive him to become one of the more tenacious enemies in Part 2, as he's willing to resort to any tactic to achieve a victory of some sort, sacrificing his honor and his life to the cause. Likewise, in the next arc, there's Jean Pierre Polnareff. He's very in touch of his emotions that he dedicated his fight over his emotions of vengeance over the death of his sister (though he got better and replaced it with fighting for his friends later), and has very Hot-Blooded and occasionally dumb or perverted moments. The bruiser part is more highlighted on how he's one of the close range/physical-oriented fighters of the group. And most of the time, he's the supplier of Manly Tears of the team. All in all, Polnareff picked up the slack when Joseph became Older and Wiser.

It's sort of hard to think that way about a guy who can lift passenger jets and stop freight trains in their tracks, and since the superhero genre in general is much more forgiving of manly emotions than most action genres, obviously the toughest superhero would hit this trope the hardest. Even Clark Kent gets away with it, though, just because he's 6'3" and massive.
