Line 47:
** Lady Eboshi only has intelligence and restraint to think things through before she acts. By the end of the movie {{spoiler|she pretty much defeated everyone with only minor casualties. At the same time! Things only turn bad when the actual god of the forest intervenes, but that actually takes place ''after'' she killed him in single combat!}}
* Ein and the adult version of Bat from ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''. While they don't have same [[Charles Atlas Superpower|martial arts training]] as Kenshiro and other martial artists in the series, they're capable on holding their own against the bad guys. The two of them working together managed to punch an entire fortress filled with goons to death. Some of the bad guys, like Jackal, may qualify for this trope as well.
* Kai, David, and Lewis from ''[[Blood Plus+|Blood+ ]]'' could fit the bill, seeing as they are ordinary humans who regularly wade into battle with powerful Chiropterans armed only with simple firearms (which the series establishes as being next-to-useless against them), and emerge almost unscathed every time. Out of all them, Lewis and Kai probably emphasize the "normal" aspect the most, since one is a fat, awkward slob, and the other is an ordinary teenage boy. David definitely fits the "badass" part, since he survives being shot, getting slashed by monsters, and jumping out of a helicopter moments before it exploded, despite requiring realistic medical treatment in each case, and when he infiltrated a secret research facility and found himself surrounded by armed guards, he escaped by grabbing a hostage and threatening to kill him with ''a ballpoint pen''.
* Limelda Jorg in ''[[Madlax]]'' is an ordinary military officer positioned as [[The Rival]] to the eponymous [[Extraordinarily Empowered Girl]], who is [[Cursed with Awesome]], [[Immune to Bullets]], sports [[Gun Kata]], and stacks up [[Theme Music Power-Up|Theme Music Power Ups]] like no tomorrow. That Limelda survives the show where [[Anyone Can Die]] also speaks a lot about her skills.
* Daisuke Ido from ''[[Gunnm]]'' is likely the only Hunter-Warrior in the Scrapyard who is ''not'' a cyborg.
