Badass Normal/Anime and Manga: Difference between revisions

* The Obstinate Arrow task force from ''[[Scrapped Princess]]''. {{spoiler|Centuries ago, the Guardian Factor was seeded in human DNA to produce people with the strength and will to protect the Providence Breaker when she is born. None of these people are in the task force which confuses the hell out of Zefiris when they come to the Pacifica's rescue and join her side.}}

* Demon slayer Sango is ''[[Inuyasha]]'''s resident Badass Normal. Of the main [[Five-Man Band]], she is the only one that doesn't have either demonic or spiritual power, instead relying purely on her enormous boomerang, extensive combat training, and nigh-encyclopedic knowledge about all manner of demons and their weakness. Sango is, notably, the second strongest combatant in the group, formidable enough to impress even Inu-Yasha himself. Miroku sums it up when he's forced to try to take her down while she's mind controlled - he pulls it off eventually, but not without incurring some nasty injuries, and she's clearly not fighting at full potential.

* ''[[Mx0]]'': Taiga. Despite having [[Muggles|no magical powers]] ''whatsoever'' (and later on, a very limited [[Anti-Magic]] power), he still manages to keep up the charade of being a genius wizard for an entire school year through sheer [[Determinator|determination]], [[Book Dumb|wits]], [[Shrouded in Myth|reputation]] and ''[[Fake Ultimate Hero|intriguing bullshit]]''.

* Even ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' has a few of these, particularly Kino Makoto/Sailor Jupiter, who established her badass credentials in her debut episode by smacking around a bunch of thugs who were harassing Usagi, then doing it again later in the episode to ''[[Quirky Miniboss Squad|Zoicite]]''. This was ''before'' she awakened as Sailor Jupiter, mind you, and for that matter it was before Sailor Moon even knew she was an unawakened Senshi. When she ''did'' awaken and turned into a [[Badass Abnormal]], she was one of the only Senshi to ever kill a [[Monster of the Week]] ''without'' the use of Sailor Moon's [[Finishing Move]].
