Top 15 characters with the most BULKING physique

[Shmooply]

First of all:

What is BULKING?
Originally, bulking was a word that was used in bodybuilding. Specifically, it's a phase where a bodybuilder intentionally consumes a ridiculous amount of calories to boost muscle-gain, but nowadays it's also used as a term for guys with REALLY BIG and STRONG upper bodies (arms included).

What characters are allowed?
- As stated in the other question, characters that have a powerful upper body

• Yes, including characters who also have fit legs, we can't let the guys who skipped leg day be the only ones allowed here, just make sure their upper body is vastly bigger and stronger than their legs still
• "Bloatlords," aka characters that have a massive, abominable tummy are also allowed, provided they also have strong arms and trapezoids and the like
• Characters that have "hollow" cores, many BULKING gentlemen do indeed have weird-looking abs

Shall we begin?

1. Escanor ("The One Ultimate" Form)
2. Superalloy Darkshine
3. Zeus (Muscular Form) [Records of Ragnarok]
4. Broly (Super's Canon)
5. Masayoshi Shido ("True Samael" & "Unrestricted" Form)
6. Yujiro Hanma
7. Master Roshi (Max Power)

The One Escanor is all you need honestly.

how will tournament manga fans ever recover from this

Off to a good start, instant 1#

 

[VinnyXD]

Broly should be mention

 

[Pepsiman25th]

superallow darkshine

 

[Naito-desu]

Yujiro Hanma or Yuichiro Hanma probably could be a mention as well

 

[Regidian]

Macho tho don't know if he have a profil in vsb

 

[Shmooply]

wow that was quick

 

[Ned_the_outer_god]

Insert JoJo character here

 

[SamanPatou]

He doesn't have a profile yet (he will), but Abigail is the man you're looking for.

Shiki Granbell once had that kind of body in a virtual reality

Cosmo also deserves a spot

 

[Shmooply]

He doesn't have a profile yet (he will)

Splendid.

 

[Regidian]

Macho tho don't know if he have a profil in vsb

For macho i ask Yuri if he could make a profile for him lol

 

[Axxtentacle]

Let me give you some images of Superalloy Darkshine from OPM real quick.

 

[SamanPatou]

Pica is also stupidly buff, One Piece has a lot of them, but he is top design.

 

[Shmooply]

Pica is also stupidly buff, One Piece has a lot of them, but he is top design.

Now the better question is does he take Superalloy's spot or not...

 

[VinnyXD]

Where is spongebob when you need him

 

[SamanPatou]

Where is spongebob when you need him

Here

 

[Axxtentacle]

I'd ALSO like to nominate Zeus from Record of Ragnarok.

He starts off like this, but becomes this.

And then when he decides to really flex his muscles...

 

[Axxtentacle]

what would happen if I also nominate The One Ultimate Escanor lmao

 

[Shmooply]

what would happen if I also nominate The One Ultimate Escanor lmao

I guess he could take The One Escanor's spot?

 

[Axxtentacle]

He's basically The One Escanor but, bigger and more firey.

Here's the image:

He towers over Demon King Zeldris, who was previously even with him.

 

[Musaabu02]

Hulk

 

[Axxtentacle]

Having first, second and third place all be my suggestions is good for me lmao...

 

[VinnyXD]

Here

You're great

 

[Ned_the_outer_god]

Here

Unironically, Sponge bob deserves a spot. But if you want the true most ripped character in spongebob...

Spoiler

Meet....

Plank-ton

 

[AxisPowerRanger]

I nominate Masayoshi Shido

 

[Robot972]

Muscular

 

[SamanPatou]

Master Roshi has his own bulk.

 

[Shmooply]

We've already reached seven spots, what an amazing start.

 

[SamanPatou]

Btw, I don't think Pica would stand over Darkshine; he is bigger and more deformed, but Darkshine has a well constructed muscle pattern, which makes him superior in my opinion.


If you count one-time forms, Shiki, Cosmo and Spongebob are unironically good.

Speaking of it, King Dedede has been buff as hell.

 

[Shmooply]

Can't believe we forgot the king.

 

[SamanPatou]

We need some Hulk connoisseur to post his bulkest versions.


Also, someone may remember this Captain America.

 

[Pepsiman25th]

i just realized
we forgot about ya boi beefcake

 

[SamanPatou]

Using giants equals to cheating, they must be special for their proportions, not by size alone.

 

[VinnyXD]

Speaking of Hulk.

Juggernaut should be mention

 

[Ned_the_outer_god]

Unironically, Sponge bob deserves a spot. But if you want the true most ripped character in spongebob...

But seriously, Plankton (NOt for the lols)

 

[Shmooply]

No... no, no- NO!! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO REMIND EVERYBODY OF THIS!?!

 

[Zaratthustra]

Vasco Strada Just look at the old man of heaven.

 

[SamanPatou]

@Shmooply Because I'm the harbinger of chaos and despair!

But here's some more.

Toei Vegito + Buu is a very good candidate

One-Punch Man also has this idiot

I feel like we should limit the list to ine character for each series, Dragon Ball has too many buff people (Buff Buu, Buff Trunks...)


Now, seriously, Buzzwole actually fits in the list.
