Somehow, in some over the top fashion, a situation has arisen that can only be solved by one character arm wrestling another. This will almost always result in a character who appears scrawny having to arm wrestle a man far larger than they are. This never favors the big man, since almost as often, the character only appears scrawny, and is in fact a not-so-harmless Cute Bruiser, or otherwise ends up being more powerful than they look, proving that Muscles Are Meaningless sometimes. Expect some to take full advantage of this misconception to make money, get revenge, or just show off. Often serves as an Establishing Character Moment to demonstrate the character's incredible strength early on. While unassuming people being able to win at arm wrestling with ease is possible in real life if they have the upper arm strength to back them up - making this trope Truth in Television - prospective arm wrestlers should be very, very mindful of maintaining proper posture, in particular that the forearm should remain in line with the shoulder at all times. As tempting as it is to 'cheat' by leaning your upper body over, you're far more likely to snap either your arm or that of your opponent in half like a toothpick, and the results can be both incredibly painful and extremely gruesome. |

In an episode of The Smurfs, Clumsy repeatedly gets into an arm-wrestling match with Hefty, who easily defeats him, but it doesn't deter Clumsy from trying again. | |

Ranma ½: Double subverted when Akane is arm wrestling several arm-wrestling machines. She's winning, but then loses to the Sumo wrestler (the strongest machine) — turns out Shampoo was hiding inside. Played straight in the Super Soba storyline, where Ranma tries to debunk Akane's claims of Super-Strength with an arm-wrestling match... and then another... and so on until there are several Ranma-shaped holes in the floor. |

Bones: Zig-Zagged. Mr. Vincent Nigel-Murray, wearing an upper body exoskeleton giving him the proportionate strength of a T. rex, is unable to beat Hodgens in an arm-wrestling contest because the limitations of the T. rex's skeletal structure makes it unable to complete the presumed Curb-Stomp Battle. Hodgens wins. | |

Mai and Yuuko square off in Nichijou, with the loser having to buy the winner a bottle of juice. At the end of the subsequent arm-slamming montage, Mai has won 23 juices off of Yuuko plus "that thing from the station" — poor Yuuko kept thinking she could win if she gave it one more shot. | |

In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003), during their Christmas party Raph and Casey try their luck against Silver Sentry, a Captain Ersatz of Superman. Despite straining with all their might, and even working together, they can't make him begin to put any effort, and when their arms hit the table the force sends them flipping through the air across the room. Then April steps up, and seemingly trounces him with the same result (he threw the match as a joke using his flight ability). | |

Double subverted in Fullmetal Alchemist. In Rush Valley, a big guy is challenging people to an automail arm wrestling contest. He keeps winning until Ed moves to challenge him. Turns out he was cheating to win using Alchemy, but Al then cheats right back to win anyway. Also occurs in the 2003 anime version. | |

Kenshiro gets into one of these in Fist of the North Star. It's made even more deadly by having buzzsaws near the bottom of the table that will cut off the arm of the loser. Ken spares the Mook he's arm-wrestling from having his arm cut off... by breaking his arm instead. | |

In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (IDW), Princess Celestia set up a hoof-wrestling booth, easily beating everypony who challenged her since she is a Physical God. Even Big Macintosh straining with all his might only made her smirk. Granted, she had to put a bandage on her arm afterward, implying he was strong enough to injure her. In a later issue, Rockhoof, the Pillar of Strength, is seen struggling in a hoof wrestling match against Big Macintosh, who isn't even paying attention. Imagine how strong this makes Celestia. |

Rather hilarious example from PandoraHearts: Gil's hat is riding on the outcome of an arm-wrestling battle between a big, burly tough guy and Alice. Alice is basically an Eldritch Abomination in the form of a teenage girl, and Gil, who controls her Power Limiter, really wants his hat back. Her power-up music even starts playing. In the manga, Alice even breaks the guy's arm. | |

In the episode "Comedy of Eros" of Xena: Warrior Princess, Xena and dastardly warlord Draco are shot by Eros' arrow, causing them to fall in love with one another. One scene shows most of their clothes lying on the ground, but the camera draws back to show them having a friendly arm-wrestle. Xena beats the massively muscled Draco with ease. | |

Lucky Dog 1 has this potentially happen between muscly Luchino and slender Gian in the spin-off Gian Carlo's Lucky Happy Life, when the former drunkenly challenges the latter to a contest of arm wrestling at the very beginning of his route. In one of the two outcomes of this impromptu match, Gian is somehow able to beat Luchino despite the obvious strength disparity between them, which even he is shocked by. If he ends up losing instead though, his arm becomes seriously sore afterward. | |

In Snow White with the Red Hair Kazaha challenges Shirayuki to an arm-wrestling match when she arrives in Lirias and loses instantly. Later Kirito challenges Shirayuki after hearing about it, and after he beats her Zen gets revenge for her by easily beating Kirito. In this case the take-away is mostly that Kazaha is incredibly weak, as all the other matches go about as expected with Zen, an avid swordsman being much stronger than Kirito, a boy just starting training for his planned knighthood. | |

In the DuckTales (1987) episode "Duckman of Aquatraz" where Scrooge gets put in prison, a dozen or more burly inmates challenge him to an arm-wrestling match. In a glorious display of his toughness Scrooge effortlessly smashes their huge hands into the table, one by one, quipping "Next!" between rounds. While they all stand in shock and awe rubbing their wrists, one (Mad Dog McGurk) asks Scrooge how did he became so strong, to which the latter replies "By lifting moneybags!" This is when the prisoners start to respect Scrooge. | |

Twin Peaks: Evil Cooper seems like an underdog in the arm-wrestling contest against an enormous gang leader, but it turns out the one-sidedness goes the other way. As a Black Lodge entity, the Doppelganger does not even react to the pain (though he does feel it), and has superhuman strength that dwarfs his opponent's. He spends most of the match toying with the guy before breaking his arm and smashing his face in. | |

In Prison School, in order to buy time for a scheme, the boys all challenge Meiko to an arm-wrestling competition. None of them last a second with her save for Andre, and he lasted as long as he did because she found herself distracted by a single strand of chest hair. | |

Takiya gets his wrist snapped like a twig by Ilulu, Kanna is unable to even budge Lucoa's arm despite using both hands, and the only reason Tohru didn't lose to Lucoa in the finals is that she bribed Shouta to distract her. | |

In Neither a Bird nor a Plane, it's Deku!, Izuku gets dragged into an arm wrestling match with the burly Kendo Rappa over a Beebo doll. Fed up with this when he just wants to walk away, Izuku only has to use a fraction of his Kryptonian Super-Strength to slam Rappa's arm down so hard that he flies into the air and twists his arm 180 degrees. Izuku is initially horrified at the result until Rappa laughs in his face and resets his shoulder with his Quirk. | |

In #2 of one of the later Red Sonja volumes, Sonja has time-travelled to present-day New York. She is challenged to an arm wrestle by a meathead in a Harlem bar, who obviously thinks he'll Best Her to Bed Her. Instead, Sonja immediately shoves his arm down. He complains that he wasn't ready, so she beats him again just as quickly, this time nearly breaking his wrist. She's then shown easily beating an even bigger guy, with this match going viral on social media. | |

He lost, but everyone was really impressed that he still had use of his arm afterward. Note that Ridcully is also known to box bare-knuckled with trolls. | |

In one issue of JSA, Atom Smasher and Black Adam arm-wrestle. Atom Smasher is over 7 feet tall with a body of solid muscle, and can grow even larger and stronger. Meanwhile, The Rock was cast to play Black Adam — these are huge guys. They get locked in the starting position, with Atom Smasher giving it all he's got and, he assumes, Black Adam doing much the same. They carry on a conversation for a while, until Adam asks "This game, when does it start?" | |

Trish Stratus and Christy Hemme had an arm-wrestling competition as part of the build to their match at WrestleMania 21. Christy, who had just got her job with WWE by winning a contest, squashed Trish, a former fitness model who had much larger muscles.

In the Empath: The Luckiest Smurf novel, Empath is pushed into an arm-wrestling match with Hefty, which neither Empath nor Hefty like the possibility of performing, but do so anyway. The match lasts for about a few minutes as Hefty strains with all his might while Empath just casually keeps Hefty at a standstill before pushing his arm down. | |

Gon, Killua, and Leorio actually make money doing this in Hunter × Hunter, having Gon arm wrestle a passerby and win. Also, the strongest person he arm-wrestled and forced him to use Nen to win: a Meganekko. The only reason he won was that she used her right hand, and she's left-handed. Which makes this an example of I Am Not Left-Handed, while being an inversion at the same time. | |

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, the anime added an original scene to Mitsuri's childhood flashback, to further convey how much of a superhuman she was as a little kid who hadn't even trained under Breathing Styles yet; Mitsuri's ever supporting father casually convinced a grown adult Sumo wrestler to take on his little daughter in a arm wrestling match, to the surprise of the large man and his friends Mitsuri completely overwhelmed him, a kid who's only a fraction of his size and weight. Her unnatural muscle constitution is just on another level. | |

There's a funny series of examples in The Mary Tyler Moore Show. In an episode, an old man challenged Lou Grant to an arm wrestling contest. The old man defeated the bigger Lou. Then, the old man challenged Ted. Ted defeated the old man easily. Filled with confidence, Ted challenged Lou. It turns out that Lou always let the old man wins to give him a drink. So, Lou literally caused Ted to go onto the floor. | |

It's later revealed the machine was broken, but Natsumi doesn't know that when she has to arm wrestle a construction worker to get her house worked on.

Negima! Magister Negi Magi has an epic arm-wrestling match between Ku Fei and Negi. The "one-sided" aspect is a bit of a Zig-Zagging Trope, as in terms of pure physical strength they're about equal, with Ku apparently having a slight advantage due to her Ki. Then Negi pulls out the Black Magic. Ku didn't have much of a chance after that. | |

The Dexter's Laboratory episode "Hamhocks and Arm-Locks" has Dexter's dad getting baited into arm-wrestling with a beefy trucker named Earl after Dad accidentally distracts the trucker and breaks his winning streak. Knowing the match is too one-sided, Dexter secretly fits his dad with a mechanical arm to enhance his strength. Once they start arm wrestling, the two seem evenly matched... until Dexter realizes he forgot to push a button on his remote control, at which point Earl is sent flying through a wall. | |
