Line 19:
* Lenalee Lee of ''[[D.Gray-man|D Gray Man]]'' is guilty of this, as she's a [[Dance Battler]] whose primary weapon is a pair of superpowered boots that radiate holy power.
** Both Road Kamelot and Lulu Bell of the [[Big Bad]]'s [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]] are also capable of these movements in combat. In her first appearance, Road dodges attacks so lazily and easily that she looks ''bored.'' Justified in Lulu Bell's case as she truly does have [[Incredibly Lame Pun|cat-like reflexes.]]
* Kodachi Kunō of ''[[Ranma ½|Ranma One Half]]''. Justified in that she ''is'' a gymnast, and the pirouettes and acrobatics are an essential part of [[Martial Arts and Crafts|Martial Arts Rhythmic Gymnastics]], her chosen discipline. Ranma Saotome also uses this sort of fighting style, even though he's ''male'', and fought this way ''before'' becoming a [[Gender Bender]]. The anime tends to save it more for when he's in [[Gender Bender|female form]], but in both canons, even as a guy he's prone to using a lot of flips, jumps, handstands, rolls and tumbles, all to either evade attack or beat on his opponent. There's also an occasional usage of [[Murderous Thighs]], but possibly only in female form (and/or only in the manga).
** Justified in that Ranma's school specializes in adapting various other styles, many of which (at least in the world it exists within) appear to specialize in mid-air combat, thus, Ranma's ability to do this even in male form before the curse makes sense.
* Noel in ''[[Claymore]]''. Her rival, Sophia, favors a more brute-force approach.
Line 28:
* Casca from ''[[Berserk]]'' centers most of her offensive and defensive maneuvers around flipping about the enemy, being the [[Fragile Speedster]] of the Hawks.
* ''[[Gunslinger Girl]]''. Cyborg girl Rico backflips toward [[Big Bad|terrorist leader Dante]] while he shoots at her with an assault rifle during the Turin Nuclear Plant siege.
