Line 28:
* Every angel (especially the main character) in ''[[Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan]]'' wields a dangerous weapon, usually with extremely violent and gory results.
** The title character Dokuro uses her giant spiked club Excalibolg on Sakura to [[Made of Plasticine|splatter him into tiny bits]]...[[Once an Episode|repeatedly]].
* [[:Category:Yandere|Kaede Fuyou]] of ''[[SHUFFLE!]]'' is best known (although it was [[It Was His Sled|originally treated as a spoiler]]) for [[Murder the Hypotenuse|snapping on her love rival]], Asa Shigure, with a boxcutter. {{spoiler|She doesn't succeed}}. It is revealed that she's done this before, {{spoiler|on the very [[Unlucky Everydude]] she's chasing after, when she thought he was to blame for her mother's death; a part of [[Extreme Doormat|her devotion to Rin]] comes from her guilt over this incident.}}
* Skuld in ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'' tends to build these to threaten Keiichi with, from the ubiquitous "Skuld-Bombs", to the home-built ''chainsaw'', "Texas Murder" (Murder-kun in the original). This being played for comedy, [[Amusing Injuries]] are the worst that can happen.
* An extremely unusual instance of this trope occurs in ''[[Trigun]]''. Milly is generally a very large, quiet, cheerful woman. However, when danger looms, she pulls out a ''freaking enormous'' gun from underneath her voluminous cloak.
Line 46:
** There's a couple of instances, like the [[Alternate Universe]] mystery episode and in one Zan episode (the one introducing Oora), in which nearly every girl in the class would qualify.
* Nekoko from ''[[Kannazuki no Miko]]'' attacks with a giant syringe the size of her body.
* [[:Category:Yandere|Senjougahara Hitagi]] from ''[[Bakemonogatari]]''. Who knew a utility knife and mechanical pencil could be such useful weapons?
** They've got nothing on the stapler, though.
* ''[[Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo]]''—Betcha can't guess the main character's [[Weapon of Choice]].
Line 76:
== Film ==
* [[Quentin Tarantino]] wrote one of these girls (Gogo Yubari) into ''[[Kill Bill]]''. She used a wakizashi on a perverted salaryman with very gory results and battled the Bride with a saw-bladed meteor hammer.
* Fans of Takashi Miike's work may remember a little film named ''[[Audition]]''. Asami Yamazaki is gentle and soft-spoken - but what she does with razor wire and acupuncture needles in the last twenty minutes will make even the most hardened horror fan cringe. The appearance of a previous boyfriend in a dream sequence shortly before gives some idea of [[:Category:Yandere|what she will do to prevent her lovers from leaving her]].
* At the end of ''[[Serenity]]'', {{spoiler|River uses a sword and axe taken from the Reavers to wipe out every Reaver in a hallway during the battle on Mr. Universe's moon}}.
* The Japanese revenge-porn movie ''[[The Machine Girl]]'' is built entirely on this trope; Ami, the title character, is an adorable Japanese schoolgirl with a comically oversized machine gun fitted over the stub of her severed left hand. Before the injury, she wielded a kama sickle.
Line 108:
* ''[[Champions Online]]'' has the [[Creepy Twins|Harajuku Twins]]: [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]] Rin wields a truely [[Sinister Scythe]] with a bat-wing-shaped blade ''in one hand'' and [[Genki Girl]] Shizuko carries a [[Gatling Good|gatling]] [[Small Girl, Big Gun|gun]] with a teddy bear sitting on the barrel/s.
** Oh, and the two are good girls! They aid players in battle for one hour, after being summoned with a certain "henchman device". Buying that device also unlocks their weapons.
* "Conclusion of Blood," the bad ending from the [[Visual Novel]] ''[[School Days]]'' involves {{spoiler|[[:Category:Yandere|Kotonoha Katsura]] using a saw as a murder weapon}}, and so does {{spoiler|the anime ending}}.
* Aversion: [[Dragon Age]] has [[Jeanne D'Archetype|Leliana]], a heroic equivalent who first shows up trying to talk down the bad guys while dressed in the robes of a priestess (I may add that no priestess has been seen so far in the game with any sort of lethal weapon) and jumps in on your side with a long knife when things go south.
** Played almost straight in ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' with [[The Chick|Merrill]]. While only carrying a simple staff of any kind, she is a [[Blood Magic|Blood Mage]] who works together with demons, which in the world of Thedas is considered the second highest kind of evil abomination, only surpassed by mages that have become permanently possessed by demons.
