Ornstein is actually strong his armor is fat

It's just the armor that's fat, it has something to do with him being grotesque or whatever.

Sumo wrestling is very popular in Japan. In sumo being built-fat is the way to go

...

Because it's factually true
An untrained fatty can lift more weight than an untrained skinny, due to having more muscle along with the fat
If you want to be strong, you do need to gain weight as well as train. Ideally you also cut so you don't end with too much fat along with the new muscle
Of course, if you're morbidly obese that's a different topic

Helmet still makes no sense.

Because fat people are strong?

It's just a decorative head

Can confirm my father weighed 240 pounds in his prime at 5'11" but could deadlift like 800 pounds

...

240 isn't really THAT heavy for a powerlifter

Because of the use of momentum in martial arts and asian fighting styles

>Having to turn your entire body just to look somewhere

Great armour design!!

not saying it isn't overdesigned and unwieldy

Would you rather get punched by a skelly or some fat guy? Assuming same skill of punch

>mm-muh realism!!!!!
shut up

>t. I love cartoons aimed at 5y olds

heres a better question. why are mentally disabled people so retardedly strong

Because the vast majority of asians are skinny midgets due to a lifestyle predominantly revolving around vegetables and seafood.

Mind over matter.

If you can accept undead people running around using souls as currency, you should be able to accept impractical armor. Unless you're retarded.

On the other hand, if you can't accept the former, you're just a no-fun.

It's a fucking executioner armor, the condemned are not going anywhere, it's meant to instill as much fear as possible.

And it does a damn good job.

>retardedly strong
kek

spotted the fatass

ehh its a thing of past.

fat=wealth
wealth=power

>b-b-b-but it was only used to jousting!

Smoughs armour is obviously ceremonial and magical.

> Defending some devianart tier oc armour this bad cos it's muh dark souls

Doesn't look like there's been an official execution in Lordran for a while anyway so why not suit up for a fight if you actually are tasked with protecting a princess (illusion or not)?

you're so pedantic that it isn't even funny

weight=power
overweight=overpower

> why are these people strong???!!
> my personal gay coach told me than only gays sticking at the gym with 6pack are strong

Are you autistic or just plain stupid?

less points in int, more points in strength

Whats wrong with that?

Fat and muscles are not mutually exclusive, more like the opposite.

And being ripped is seen as gay
