Professional Killer: Difference between revisions
→Anime & Manga
Line 29:
* Both Claire Stanfield and Ladd Russo from [[Baccano!]] are assassins by trade. Ladd is an [[Ax Crazy]] [[Psycho for Hire]] for the [[The Mafia|Russo family]], while Claire is a freelancer with a [[Heroic Sociopath|strange sense of justice]].
* Certain characters from ''[[One Piece]]'', particularly the members of CP9 and Baroque Works (or, in the latter case, the Mr. 1 and Mr. 5 pairs for sure), are Assassins.
** Robin has been called an assassin too, mostly before her [[Heel Face Turn]], although ironically, her kill-count has increased far more ''after'' it. While not exactly the most powerful of the Straw Hats, she is, quite likely, the ''deadliest'' member.
* Tao Pai Pai from ''[[Dragonball]]'' hardly looks like a serious warrior, with his [[Real Men Wear Pink| pink outfit and ponytail with a bow]]. However, in his 20 years as an assassin, he has ''never'' failed a job, and while he is very expensive (something he warns a prospective client) he seems to love his job a little ''too'' much for someone in this line of work. A master of Chinese martial arts, he once killed a man using ''only his tongue'', and can honestly claim to be the first villain to have defeated Son Goku, even if he never managed to finish the job.
* The protagonist of ''[[Rurouni Kenshin]]'' is a reformed one, although he spends most of the series doing his best to resist the urge to kill.
* Laura from ''[[Mnemosyne]]'' is ''definitely'' an assassin, sporting all sorts of [[The Gunslinger|firearms]] and explosives. The problem is, Rin is just that [[Badass]] (not to mention [[Immortality]]) that she beats her almost every single time.
* The MacDougall brothers from ''[[Outlaw Star]]'', Ron is the assasin while his brother Harry starts out as the Hitman before [[Character Development]] improves him.
Line 55 ⟶ 58:
* In ''[[Bleach]]'', Soi Fon AKA [[Fan Nickname|"Captain Bitchninja"]], leader of squad 2 and supreme commander of the Onmitsukido. While she excels in mastery of shunpo and hakuda, her [[Touch of Death|two-hit kill shikai]] is her signature skill.
* In ''[[Queen's Blade|Queens Blade]]'', [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|Irma]] is the leader of the Fang Assassins guild The position was formerly held by her mentor {{spoiler|and ex-lover}} Echidna.
