Badass in Distress: Difference between revisions

** Also {{spoiler|Maka Albarn}}, during the Envy and Sloth chapters of the same book.

* Kallen Stadtfeld from ''[[Code Geass]]'' was captured at one point in the second season and her time in captivity was used for some [[Character Development]]. But once she got out of captivity... she killed [[Psycho for Hire|Luciano Bradley]] and made it clear who the motherfucking [[Action Girl]] of the series is.

* Mewtwo in ''[[Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns]].'' He spent the first movie being a total badass villain, and never actually being defeated. He has a few badass moments in the sequel, where he fends off Team Rocket. Even when he's captured {{spoiler|due to some Pokemon being held hostage}}, he never gives in, {{spoiler|resisting the pain of the device being used at him nearly at the expense of his life}}. Naturally, Ash and co. are there to save him using the [[Phlebotinum]] of the week. What does he do after being rescued? {{spoiler|He wipes the memory of at least 50 people simultaneously and moves part of a ''mountain'', evacuates his Pokemon telekinetically to various places, and then produces hot air balloons to get the Rocket Trio and Ash and his friends to their destinations}}. He handles the whole thing with a fair amount of angst as per his character, but no pleading, no crying, and no caving in.

* Meow from ''[[Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran]]'' may be a skilled fighter but she does get hit with the [[Distress Ball]] more than a few times, requiring Ran to come to her aid. Once Meow gets free, though, she joins Ran with beating up the bad guys.
