Line 14:
** Cross Marian. While Allen and Lavi are {{spoiler|struggling just to keep Tyki away from Lenalee and Chaozii, Marshall Cross swoops in and saves their sorry asses by simply ''shooting'' Tyki a few times with Judgement.}}
** Allen, the [[Badass Adorable]], Kanda, Mr. [[Tall, Dark and Snarky]], Tyki Mikk, Lavi with his kickass [[Drop the Hammer|hammer]], and Lenalee and Road are very nice examples of [[Action Girl|female]] [[Dark Action Girl|badasses]].
* Ladd Russo, Claire Stanfield and Firo Prochainezo of ''[[Baccano!]]!'' fit almost perfectly in Badass category, but they sure aren't the only ones. [[Heroic Bystander|Rachel]] saves nearly six people from heavily armed terrorists with nothing but sheer grit, [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|Jacuzzi]] demonstrates almost insane levels of courage under pressure, [[Axe Crazy|Graham]] can and probably ''will'' knock your head off with a monkey wrench, [[Stuff Blowing Up|Nice]] will blow up anything and everything, [[Big Bad|Szilard]] can take machine gun fire while barely flinching, and [[Knife Nut|Chane]] can ''deflect bullets.''
** The [[Light Novels]] add more examples, like Luck Gandor, who stabbed a guy in the throat with his ''own severed arm''.
* Kakashi, Gaara and Neji of ''[[Naruto]]'' In fact, most of the cast would qualify as badasses, simply because they're ''[[Ninja]]''.
Line 122:
*** In his ''second'' appearance, he stabs an enemy through the head and fires his cannon down his throat a few times for good measure. It didn't quite work, but for a series that usually sticks to [[Never Say "Die"]], it was a pretty awesome scene.
** Shoutmon from ''[[Digimon Xros Wars]]'' is probably the badass lead Digimon in the ENTIRE FRANCHISE. He's probably the most Hotblooded digimon, if not, character, in the [[Up to Eleven|whole franchise]], and in just his base form alone, is able to take down a bunch of Mammothmon, of which are usually ultimate level digimon, and can fuse with other digimon to become a [[Humongous Mecha]]. {{spoiler|Then there's [[Golden Super Mode|O]][[Call Back|me]][[Took a Level In Badass|ga]]Shoutmon and [[Combining Mecha|Shoutmon X7]]}}.
*** He's back in [[Digimon Xros Wars:
*** {{spoiler|[[Physical God|Shoutmon]] [[God-Emperor|X7]] [[Story-Breaker Power|Superior Mode]] takes this to [[Serial Escalation]] levels by fusing with '''EVERY SINGLE DIGIMON IN THE WHOLE SERIES''' besides the [[Big Bad]]. And then one shotting said [[Big Bad]] effortlessly with a his microphone turned into a [[Laser Sword]].}}
* ''[[Tsukihime]]'''s Nanaya Shiki. For one thing, he's an [[Super-Powered Evil Side|amoral sociopathic killer split personality]] of the protagonist, which is just cool. But then, he has insanely skilled killing abilities and instincts, ''and'' the [[Evil Eye|Mystic Eyes of Death Perception]], which let him kill virtually anything ''with a fruit knife''. To top it off, he easily slaughters some of the most powerful beings on the planet (who are nigh-unbeatable) while laughing, speaking poetically, and only feeling a mixture of amused enthusiasm and contempt.
Line 193:
* Every major character in [[Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]. Except for maybe [[The Strategist|Nijima]], although even he has pulled some ridiculous stunts.
* [[Baki the Grappler]] is filled to the brim with these, but most especially the titular characters father [[Blood Knight|Yujiro Hanma]]. He stops an earthquake by puching the ground, beats up almost every single VERY [[Badass]] martial artist in the series SIMULTANOUSLY, and beats America in Vietnam by himself barehanded as a teen, to the point America SURRENDERS to him. And this is just the anime which is nowhere NEAR where the manga is.
* [[Darker
* [[Twentieth Century Boys|Otcho]], to the extent where he sometimes seems to live in a slightly more cartoonish world than the rest of the cast.
* Nearly everyone in ''[[Fushigi Yuugi]]'' is one kind of [[Badass]].
Line 209:
** Gildartz '''[[Beyond the Impossible|destroys a Black Hole]].
* Gantz is FILLED with badasses, but 2 specific examples are Kurono, for jumping into a 50-foot tall monsters head, shooting it from inside it's head, then getting out by kicking out one of it's teeth, and Katou, for killing the last alien in the Temple Mission, an alien with acid that could melt you faster than you could say "Fuck!", swords that it could use to chop you into pieces before you blink, and had single-handedly taken out everybody with a suit except Katou and Kurono, who also had lost an arm and a leg in the fight.
* EVERYONE from [[Durarara!!]] qualifies as a badass. Special mention to [[World's Strongest Man|Shizuo]] AKA Gartender, [[Psychopathic Manchild|Izaya]] and {{spoiler|[[Beware the Nice Ones|Mik]][[Tranquil Fury|ado]] in the novels hence his nickname becomes Bosskado.}}
* Being a boxing series, ''[[Hajime no Ippo]]'' is naturally filled with badasses. Two examples tower above everyone, however. Takamura, easily one of the manliest characters to ever grace anime and manga and best boxer in the series and Takeshi Sendo, [[Bully Hunter]] who's not above ''[[Unstoppable Rage|flipping the fuck out]]'' and utterly ''destroying'' his opponent if he gets pissed.
* [[Ah! My Goddess|Belldandy]], if earlier arcs didn't prove this to you, then the current Manga arc, the Demon Rebellion arc should finally cement her as a true badass, especially after her epic Duel with Thrym, the super strong demon with an invincible fist, turns out our heroine earned a Valkyrie certification in her spare time.
