The hilarious front line in the tragic war against ridiculous female armor

I don’t think that costume, that a female character deliberately wears into battle and dangerous situations, provides enough protection to qualify as armor…
Filled out the female armour bingo card myself for a case that particularly annoys me. Because you know what the worst part of the depiction of Tyrande Whisperwind is here? In the novel, she isn’t dressed anything like this! Seriously, nowhere in the novel does it describe her wearing a battle Bikini. Usually, to the best of my memory, she usually has more practical priest robes. She is a badass in this novel; A very well developed character who is kind, caring, thoughtful, honest, humble and can burning leigon ass when she needs to. She inspires me to write better female characters myself.
And how is she represented on the front cover of the War of the Aincients novel? Sex appeal with battle bikinis. This doesn’t do her justice in my opinion. Tyrande is a much better character than that!
Oh, the delights of using bikini armor as a tool of false advertising… Takes “Don’t judge book by its cover” to a whole new level!
Also gotta love the irony that it’s A NOVEL, a thing that people are supposed to buy for the WRITTEN STORY inside, not for the fap-tastic cover that tells them absolutely nothing about what to expect.
TIME FOR MOTHER FUCKING BINGO THAT’S WHAT TIME IT IS!
WHO’S OUR FIRST FUCKING CONTESTANT? WELL WE GOT
THAT’S GODDAMN RIGHT. KILL LA FUCKING KILL. AND WHAT GAME ARE WE PLAYING? HOW ABOUT SOME FEMALE ARMOR BINGO!
WELP! THEY REALLY HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WITH EPISODE ONE! AND MIGHT I ADD THAT THEY’RE KILLIN’ IT OUT THERE WITH THAT HEAVY USE OF UNDERBOOB! I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHERE WE’LL GO NEXT! STAY TUNED FOR MORE!
Until next time

What a perfect post to start Bingo Sundays with! Kill la Kill is an anime notorious for the costumes that seem to be made to combo-break the Female Armor Bingo.
For a more comprehensive look at Ryuko’s costume design, let’s have a peek at the official model sheet:
Seeing that I have to say that the OP, redrovershideaway, was VERY LENIENT towards this character when filling the bingo card and skipped many obvious squares, so let me propose a redux:
Who knew? It gave us a bingo and filled total 60% of the card. What a surprise, huh! 😉
