This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome : All over the place.
** Sanji's particularly thrilled by how Usopp turned out, paying special attention to him... and Usopp's the most freaked out by this newfound attention.
** The very traits that Sanji finds most appealing about Usopp's new body -- how slender, small and delicate he became -- upset Usopp the most, as he fears that he's been completely BroughtDownToNormal. Sanji mentally notes that this shouldn't be the case, but the transformation has brought the sniper's deepest insecurities surging to the surface.
** Luffy and Zoro don't see any real issues with their new bodies until learning the hard way that they have to relearn how to fight, thanks to their weight, mass and center of balance having shifted so dramatically.

* AffectionateNickname: Sanji naturally gives these to his newly transformed nakama. In Zoro's case, this is partly because he's attempting to disassociate [[TheRival Zoro]] from 'Summer-chwan'.



* DelayedReaction: Sanji goes about his morning routine, observing his sleeping companions and absentmindly gushing over them without even realizing he's doing it. It's not until he's working on breakfast and has a stray thought about how it'll help Usopp keep his girlish figure that it sinks in.

* DistractedByTheSexy: Zoro's WardrobeMalfunction moment actually takes out two of her attackers, who pass out from nosebleeds. Another drops to his knees and thanks her profusely for the show.
* DoubleStandard: Many of the very things Sanji found repellant about his male crewwmates crewmates become {{Charm Point}}s once they're women.



* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: PlayedWith. Zoro and Luffy struggle in their first fight due to how their bodies have changed, while Usopp sits the battle out entirely. Sanji recognizes that as their sniper, Usopp's fighting style should have been the least impacted by the change, but the impact it had upon him ''psychologically'' was the worst of the trio.



* MaleGaze: Even before he consciously realizes the others have changed, Sanji absently admires their figures. Later, he's horrified to realize he's watching a particular part of Zoro as he storms off.



* ThePowerOfLove: Sanji cheesily cites this as the reason he recovered so quickly after having a close encounter with Zoro's cleavage. Nobody present for this claim is amused.

* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Luffy ''immediately'' realizes that his new body makes it ''much easier'' to get extra food from their ero-cook. Sanji recognizes that this is extremely bad, but can't seem to restrain himself...



* RealityEnsues: All over the place. For instance, Sanji's particularly thrilled with how Usopp turned out, paying special attention to her... which Usopp doesn't miss, leading to him grabbing a blanket and covering up completely until he nearly passes out from heat exhaustion.

Traveling with the Straw Hats may have given him irreplacable [[TrueCompanions Nakama]] and a chance to discover All Blue... but Sanji has other dreams. Like serving on a ship filled with beautiful women rather than stinking, boorish, idiotic ''men''. He's getting the chance to live that out, though -- far sooner than he thinks...

Set after the Skypiea Arc, nocturneequuis' ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/528580/chapters/936142 Mellorine! Mellorine!]]'' puts Luffy, Usopp and Zoro through a GenderBender, much to Sanji's initial glee. But as the condition persists, he soon finds that his fantasy isn't all it's cracked up to be, for the lovely ladies he's now surrounded by aren't too thrilled with the situation, and being a woman is harder than it looks.
