Line 87:
* Yamasaki Asami, the psychotic serial killer from author Ryu Murakami's book ''Audition'', on which the Takashi Miike movie above is based, fits this trope to a T. Not only does she paralyze her victims using a syringe injected straight into the skin under the tongue, but she removes a man's foot with a wire saw and would have gotten the other foot too if she {{spoiler|hadn't been killed}}.
* ''[[Rats, Bats, and Vats|Rats Bats and Vats]]'' does this as part of {{spoiler|the [[Spoiled Brat]] [[Meaningful Name|Virginia "Ginny" Shaw's]]}} [[Incredibly Lame Pun|getting]] [[Chainsaw Good|better]].
* [[Discworld]]:
** [[The Grim Reaper|Death]]'s adopted daughter in ''[[
{{quote|Ysabell was standing in the archway, smiling faintly. She held a scythe in one hand, a scythe with a blade of proverbial sharpness. Rincewind tried not to look down at his blue lifeline; a girl holding a scythe shouldn't smile in that unpleasant, knowing and slightly deranged way.}}
** In later [[Discworld]] books, her daughter Susan has much the same effect, despite being [[Only Sane Man|decidedly un-deranged]]. She does still have a [[Sinister Scythe]], after all, and there's something ''more'' chilling about her variety of sanity.
** Of course, due to the level of [[Retcon]] in the early Discworld books, when we properly meet Ysabell in [[
* Mitsuko Souma in ''[[Battle Royale]]'' uses a ''kama'' (Japanese sickle) as her signature weapon in all three versions of the story.
* In the story ''[[Dark Red Mind]]'', the [[No Fourth Wall|fourth wall]] [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cutting]] Kaitlyn Wernher is a slight example of this trope. Upon first glance, she just seems like an exceptionally cheery twenty year old woman. But it's all a mask. Mentally, she's severely crazy, completely insane and totally fucking bonkers. As for her weapon, she doesn't need one. Her superhuman power is ''cutting. She can fucking split anything she looks at in half.''
* In ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'', the Sisters of Battle ([[Amazon Brigade|an entire army]] of [[Church Militant|Nuns With Guns]]) feature large numbers of women carrying [[Kill It with Fire|gigantic flame-throwers]], [[

▲* In ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'', the Sisters of Battle ([[Amazon Brigade|an entire army]] of [[Church Militant|Nuns With Guns]]) feature large numbers of women carrying [[Kill It with Fire|gigantic flame-throwers]], [[BFG|fully automatic armour-piercing rocket-propelled-grenade launchers]], and [[Energy Weapon|guns which melt tanks]]...as a basic troops choice, but this being ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'', this is nothing to raise a brow at. The true psycho-weapon carriers are Sisters Repentia, entire squads of women wearing three strategically-placed scraps of parchment and carrying ''[[BFS|eight-foot-long]] [[Chainsaw Good|chainsaw swords]]'', driven on by an armoured woman with a barbed cat-o-nine-tails in each hand.
* While women carrying big, scary looking weapons is fairly common in ''[[Exalted]]'', the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Maiden of the Mirthless Smile]] is probably the one with most of this.
== Theatre ==
* In ''[[Ruddigore]]'', when Robin, as Sir Ruthven Murgatroyd, has kidnapped Dame Hannah, she draws a small dagger to defend herself with, but what makes him cringe in terror is when seizes a much larger dagger from an armored figure and tosses the smaller one to him.

Line 132 ⟶ 130:
* ''[[Dark Souls]]'' has [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Maneater Mildred]] who suddenly attacks the player with a giant meat cleaver.
== Web Comics ==
* Little Red Riding Hood from ''[[Ever After (webcomic)|Ever After]]'' uses a saw (the second little pig's, given to her by the surviving one) as her signature weapon.
** ''Another'' Red, this time from ''[[No Rest for The Wicked (webcomic)|No Rest for The Wicked]]'', wields a psycho weapon - an Axe, and is one of the more psychologically unstable characters in the series.

*** And then it's [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005434 played straight]. (Her victim does have it coming.)
** Subverted also in that, in a [[Mythology Gag]] reference to [[Problem Sleuth]], the chainsaw often turns into a tube of lipstick. {{spoiler|1=And then double subverted when she [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005441 coolly applies] the lipstick, which is still covered in her chainsaw victim's blood.}}

Line 151 ⟶ 147:
* Jade Sinclair (Generator) of the [[Whateley Universe]] ''loves'' this trope. There's her cabbit... that turns into a [[Killer Rabbit]] and once slaughtered around a dozen badguys in one fight. There's her Hello Kitty compact, which flies... and knives pop out of the sides to become a sinning top of doom. There's 'Spinner', which is basically a lawnmower blade spinning at high speed without the lawnmower engine or housing getting in the way. There's the big athame that she turned into a spinning blade. The railroad spikes. The bear trap. There's a reason she's on the page for [[Crazy Awesome]].
* [[OS-tan|Windows 98 SE-tan]] aka "Secchan" is usually depicted with a ''can opener'' which she uses to [[Does Not Like Men|castrate all men.]]
