Heavier than It Looks	comment	Have you ever tried to pick up something that looks light, but is actually anything but? That's this trope in a nutshell. When something is Heavier Than It Looks, it's... well... heavier than it appears to be. This can be for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the object is made out of a super dense form of Applied Phlebotinum. Or maybe it's affected by the abilities of a Gravity Master. Sometimes it's magically enchanted to be nearly impossible to lift. Whatever the case, this trope is primarily used to demonstrate the prodigious strength of whatever does manage to lift or carry the heavy object. In these cases, the heavy object in question is either a tool or an obstacle to be lifted or carried away. Alternatively, these objects can represent surprising obstacles for the hero to circumvent through cunning and ingenuity, or a useful detail when making a deduction. Characters that are heavier than they look are natural curiosities to be alarmed at, as they're usually concealing something on their person or are using some kind of supernatural means to be much heavier than their appearance would imply. In action-filled fiction, some characters may even be able to weaponize this to crush their foes beneath their weight. Compare Bigger on the Inside, when the volume of the object is much greater than the exterior would suggest, and Hollywood Density, when an object is far more or less dense than it logically should be because Writers Cannot Do Math. This often overlaps with Imposed Handicap Training, in which the trainee wears seemingly normal objects that are weighted to improve one's strength. See also Clark Kent Outfit, when a seemingly scrawny character turns out to be much more muscular (and thus heavier) than they look beneath their clothes.

Heavier than It Looks / int_12f6bcb	comment	The Crystal Maze: Many "physical games" are categorised as such because the contestant has to lift heavy objects, and the weight is not always apparent on-screen, until the contestant strains to move it. If a contestant is strong and lifts it effortlessly, the host often comments on the weight, for the benefit of the viewer.

Heavier than It Looks / int_1a12bbee	comment	The Mighty Thor: Thor's signature Thunder Hammer, MjÃ¶lnir, is enchanted so that only the worthy may wield it and gain Thor's powers. Anyone who isn't worthy will find it impossibly heavy to lift despite its comparatively small size. Even discounting the enchantment, the hammer's huge head relative to its small handle means that it's rarely wielded by anyone without superhuman strength. A trading card from 1991 puts its weight at 42.3 pounds, akin to swinging around a medium-sized dog. Of course, as it grants anyone it deems worthy the power of Thor, which includes considerable Super-Strength, its weight is never a problem for its wielder.

Heavier than It Looks / int_1b386512	comment	Ranma Â½: When RyÅ�ga confronts Ranma on the FÅ«rinkan High School grounds, he launches his umbrella at Ranma. Ranma easily dodges it, and it ends up on the ball field. One boy tries to pick up RyÅ�ga's umbrella, but can't budge it. Akane tries, and though she succeeds, she needs both hands and all her strength to lift it. She remarks in awe that RyÅ�ga wields it with just one arm like an ordinary umbrella. In the OVA episode featuring the Phoenix, Akane, one of the more petite girls in the series, falls from the sky and is caught by Shampoo. Shampoo is super strong, frequently walking through walls because doors are inconvenient and capable of shattering boulders with her chÃºi. So it's telling when Akane lands on her and Shampoo looks pained and says "Akane, when you get so heavy?", and Akane can only look sheepish.

He tries to pick it up, but discovers it somehow weighs as much as a battleship and struggles even after his strength is increased tenfold by Brother Eye. It's later revealed that the mysterious object was one of Doctor Skuba's inventions, a bar that compresses and stores water molecules, meaning OMAC was trying to carry the entire weight of the vanished lake.

For instance, Goku wears a weighted undershirt, boots, and wristbands that total up to 250 pounds of resistance despite walking around as though he were wearing a normal martial artist's gi. King Kai's planet has ten times more gravity than Earth. Goku first sees this when an apple falls from the tree: it fell so quickly and with so much force that it looked more like a cannonball than an apple.

Heavier than It Looks / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon: According to their PokÃ©dex entries, many PokÃ©mon are much heavier than they look. For instance, Larvitar is about the size of a small dog but weighs 72 kg (158.7 lbs)! The anime doesn't seem to take this into account, as Ash is able to carry Larvitar without much effort. Both Aron and Lairon are 1'04 and 2'11 respectively, but weigh 60 kg (132.3 lbs) and 120 kg (264.6 lbs). This likely has to do with their steel armor skin. Beldum is 2 feet long, yet it weighs 95.2 kg (209.9 lbs). It being Psychic and having the ability to float likely helps with this. Munchlax, despite being 2 feet tall weighs 105 kg (231.5 lbs). The anime also doesnâ€™t take this into account, as Max, a 7-year-old boy, carried May's on his back with ease. Hippopotas is 2'07 long yet it weighs 49.5 kg (109.1 lbs). This is especially egregious in the anime where Ash actually has one ride on his head without serious injury. Bronzor is only 1'08, but it weighs 60.5 kg (133.4 lbs). Shieldon are the same height but weigh 57 kg (125.7 lbs). Despite being only four inches tall, Cosmoem is a whopping 1,000 kg (2,204.4 pounds)! Despite this, Lillie can easily carry it in her bag. That fact that it floats likely has something to do with it.

However, when the Doctor asks Jo to pick it up, she discovers she can't even move it an inch, confirming the Doctor's suspicion it is a genuine article, only miniaturised for storage, thus meaning the supposed mound is really the resting place for its owner.

But anything on the receiving end is struck with a mass equivalent to an entire planet. When Yuuya first uses this against a monster, there's absolutely nothing left of the monster as it was annihilated by the sheer force of such a hit.

Heavier than It Looks / int_c6f7e804	comment	Blake's 7: In Orbit, Avon and Vila find the shuttle they're on board has become too heavy to achieve escape velocity, and will crash unless it can be lightened. Avon eventually finds a small plastic cube that weighs several hundred kilos, and realises it contains a fragment of a neutron star that is weighing them down. Unfortunately, he has to move it on his own, as his previously planned method of lightening the load has scared Vila into hiding.

Heavier than It Looks / int_e58add6f	comment	The God of High School: Yeoui, the size- and weight-changing staff of the Monkey King, is potentially even heavier than it is in the myths. Heavy enough to shatter the ground even when set down carefully, heavy enough to tear the arms off of the self-titled strongest god Uriel when she tries to catch it. Most of the time, though, it's just the size of a regular bo staff, and can shrink even further, even small enough to hide in Mori's ear.

Heavier than It Looks / int_e5fd2cef	comment	Lensman: Upon their spaceship being pulled into hyperspace by the Overlords and the passengers chained down to be tortured, Kinnison tries to seize a nearby club to fight back, but it moves as if he's dragging it through putty — then doesn't stop when he lets go. He ends up taking a small scalpel that proves to be "as massive as a dozen broadswords" and wreaks havoc with that. His Valerian companion tries to wield a larger weapon but gives up when it's like trying to pick up a bridge girder. Investigating in the aftermath, it turns out that regular materials are effectively insubstantial when interacting with matter that has been rotated almost entirely out of space, and so a special super-dense metal that's solid to both was invented by the Overlords for their tools.

Kazuto describes his cousin Suguha as being "monstrously muscular" and a lot heavier than she looks when she's wearing her baggy school uniform. While he undercuts this in his narration by claiming to be exaggerating, the third-person narration does describe her as big-boned and strong from her kendo training.

Heavier than It Looks / int_fe4e78cd	comment	Dwarf Fortress: Slade is the supernatural rock that forms the caverns of Hell and related structures, and it is the heaviest material in the game by far. A standard boulder of the material weighs twenty metric tons, where a granite boulder of the same size (for reference) would only weigh around a quarter-ton. This may explain why it's impossible to mine outside exploits. Inverted with Adamantine, a much more useful material that can actually be worked, if you dare provoke what lies behind its ore. The actual metal is fantastically hard and durable, and can be sharpened to blades capable cutting through steel even in unskilled hands... but it's also about as light as styrofoam. This poses some problems, as adamantine armor isn't the Armor of Invincibility it should be when standing against blunt weapons, and adamantine hammers and maces are hilariously useless.
