Line 14:
** At one point Mireille gets the drop on one of the leading members of the [[Ancient Conspiracy]] simply by waltzing into his office and shooting the guards.
*** Of course he wanted her to find him. It probably wouldn't have been that easy otherwise.
** [[Spiritual Successor]] ''[[Madlax]]'' gets away with assassinating the head of the military during a speech by sniping him from farther away than his security thought possible. (Apparently they'd never heard of Carlos Hathcock.) The elite [[Cold Sniper]] assisting with the security arrangements immediately figures out what happened, but she isn't able to stop Madlax before she gets away.
* In ''[[Naruto]]'', assassinations seem to be composed mostly of grand, elaborate battles with huge elemental attacks that shred the landscape and are visible from several kilometers away. Appropriate for the show that practically ''defines'' [[Highly-Visible Ninja]].
** In hindsight, this explains why a attack described as sounding like a thousand birds and is a glowing ball of lightning was developed as an assassination attack. In part one, it seemed silly. Compared to part two? Subtle.
