* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' is built off of this trope, to the point where some call it "the Killer-Loli anime". The series features the iconic, [[Ax Crazy]] Ryuugu Rena, a.k.a. "Cleaver Girl". (The weapon, [[Depending on the Writer|depending on who you ask]], is either a cleaver, a hooked machete, or a billhook/cleaver.) The machete is, mostly, used to find cute things. [[Beware the Nice Ones|Mostly]]. The Sonozaki family has an elaborate torture room that is put to good use, while Shion favors her taser. And even Rika wields a large butcher knife at one point. A syringe also makes a few appearances as a weapon, {{spoiler|although it's never actually used for ill -- it's always either an antidote for the show's slow-acting [[Hate Plague]] or a hallucination}} (except for {{spoiler|when one was used to kill Tomitake}}). Rika's weapon of choice, however, seems to be a '''mop''' {{spoiler|, as seen in the Atonement chapter}}. This is even her weapon in Daybreak, a ''fighting'' game.
