Thoughts on how this physical impossibility takes place without compromising Benten's dignity? I think it's some sort of advanced adhesive, but any other ideas on this?

Something Doesn't Add Up to me |

Everytime I read a manga chapter or watch an episode with Benten in it, the same question comes to me: How on Earth does her top stay on? The fact that there's no front connector suggests that its "cups" should be kind of flapping around, consistently exposing one or both breasts, as she rides her airbike rather than staying firmly on her bosom. It's amazing it hasn't just flown off during one of her stunts!

It might be that her breasts are bigger than the metal plate holding to it, so it creates some sort of tight fit or vaccuum or something.......it could be double sided space tape or something. Whenever you watch the Oscars or the Emmy's women seem to have some way of miraculously defying gravity with their breasts.

I'm gonna go with the alien technology. Benten's boobs are put to much greater tests than your average Hollywood diva's. (Suddenly gets an image of some kind of bra testing facility, similar to a car testing ground.)

You think the big test would be whether it can resist the prying fingers of Happosai and/or Ataru? If that thing can hold off ol' Happy, it must be alright.

What always got me wondering is if they're metal on the inside, too. Brrrrrr.

After one look at Benten, who cares?

I bet she cares. It seems like that outfit is the only one she's got, kind of like Lum's top in the first episode. We never see Benten wear any other garment (though it comes in two sexy colors).
So her clothes better "take a lickin' & keep on tickin'" for them to do her any good. And I'm not just talking about the g-forces and violence that follows her wherever she goes. It has to stand up to Ataru's tenacious fingers and the rigors of combat. I can't elaborate beyond that. |

ahhh, you know, for some reason this afternoon I was thinking that if I could sew, I would make Karuga's clothes....and somehow get someone to wear it.
Now I'm intrigued to see Benten's clothes made, and then we can test this theory first hand. (>.>) (wish i knew some perky cute asian chicks....) ![]() |

of all the physical impossibilitys that occur in UY (and there are a LOT) we choose to focus on this one?
Although this is probably the only one that may have a logical explenation. BTW I would really never ever ever want to see a Koga cossplayer |

I've read that they do test lingerie and other undergarments to make sure they do stay on under extreme duress. The most notable example I saw was a blurb about swimsuit designer who tested her suits by windsurfing. I bet that would make Benten's airbike seem like nothing.

oh. I can see that happening too.
What would happen if Ataru was made Happosai's diciple? STUFF I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT!!! |

They do have bras which are made to be worn under strapless, backless dresses. http://www.fashion-era.com/undergarments/invisible_silicone_bras.htm They're mostly made for less...well-endowed women, but I'm sure the alien technology available would be able to work something out for Benten's needs. Yeah, but, you know, that metal bra has GOT to chafe. |

How does Ran's pink alien bandeau top stay on, or Lum's? The only one that doesn't seem to have a two piece is Oyuki's. It does look like
it's made of metal, perhaps a bendable type of metal like one of those health bracelets so she can bend the front close enough together to where it stays
in place, she does also have a huge chain around it sometimes to maybe hold it down/in place. Let's just hope that it's lined inside with SOME type of
fabric...

I agree with RanmaMoroboshi, Benten uses advanced adhesive (or just two-side adhesive tape) to keep her top stay on. I saw a TV show revealing how the Oscar
diva's backless dress not falling off with that 'secret' technology.

Somehow, I have the feeling that the versions here on Earth wouldn't do. Standing up to the g-forces Benten faces on her airbike and in general combat
would require something far closer to Superglue than mere two-sided tape to keep her top on. Since it's clear she can don and remove it without any
trouble, I am revising my theory. It's still somewhat close, but I wouldn't be surprised if her top had some sort of switch that activated a
suction-type mechanism to hold it in place. For bathing and such, this switch could be used to deactivate the device for easy removal.
On a side note, I'm very amazed that we're able to talk about this seriously without sounding remotely lecherous! |
