** No mention of Toki? The man orginally chosen as successor over both Raoh AND Kenshiro. He was so powerful he was on par with Raoh while DYING OF RADIATION POISONING!
* Nougami Neuro from ''[[Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro]]'' is an example. From the many ways he tortures his slave Yako, to how he brutally tortured the new bloodline member DR.
* Ranma from [[Ranma ½|[[Ranma ½]], many examples of Bad Ass, including {{spoiler|punching out a Phoenix King, destroying mountains, defeating through sheer brilliance a century-plus aged [[Supernatural Martial Arts]] [[Old Master]] despite having the strength of a child, and not being able to learn a technique simply because it requires him to complain too much. Oh and having nearly every pretty girl in a mile radius wanting to marry him.}}
* Though sadly often passed over or ignored, all of the other characters have gotten at least one [[Badass]] moment. Genma Saotome, who otherwise is content to loaf around and [[Sins of Our Fathers|make Ranma handle his problems]], proves that even he has his limits when he {{spoiler|uses his [[Battle Aura]] to turn into a giant version of himself to take on Happosai}}. Soun Tendo, a wimp who normally uses his [[Demon Head]] trick to bully the more capable Ranma into taking care of his household, {{spoiler|tells an oni possessing his eldest daughter to take his body instead}}. Akane Tendo has several, but the first one is taking on the [[Orochi]] at Ryugenzawa. [[Hot Amazon|Shampoo]], in the first [[Non-Serial Movie]], {{spoiler|saves Ranma from a messy death at the hands of a martial artist using [[Razor Floss]], then tells him to go and save her enemy Akane, despite the fact Ranma openly considers her an [[Unwanted Spouse]]}}. And those are just some examples.
** My personal favorite example of non-Ranma badassery is when Ranma's been depowered, and being assaulted by all his rivals, save one. Ryouga. Ryouga then proceeds to parry all the weapons they're using against Ranma, and send ALL the other rivals flying off into the distance. With only one swipe of his umbrella. All because he couldn't stand his former greatest foe being reduced to "A shadow of your former self" as he calls it. Unfortunately, its ruined when he sends Ranma flying as well in his grief.
