Line 65:
* In the anime version of ''[[Mermaid Melody Pichi Pichi Pitch]]'', Nagisa, despite being a [[Dogged Nice Guy]] with little to no knowledge of the [[Masquerade]], has a few moments of his own... like resisting a spell to immobilize humans, attacking the person responsible and destroying the item he was using to do it, despite being one of {{spoiler|the only two}} normals in the entire cast, simply because Hanon was in pain.
* The ''[[Gundam]]'' multiverse is a difficult issue, as it depends on the universe, what you consider a super power. ''UC'' would go with psychic Newtypes and ''SEED'' with coordinators, G-verse is full of people with [[Charles Atlas Superpower|Charles Atlas Superpowers]] beating the crap out of others. Also in a mecha anime, you might consider fighting with a normal suit with or against way superior opponents a Badass Normal action. Examples (and also note that these characters also have to be directly compared to a newtype or coordinator, not just have them exist somewhere in that [[Alternate Universe|universe]]:
** Garrod Ran of ''[[After War Gundam X]]'' is just a normal human, even though he exists in a world with Newtypes. His "normal" status is a first for a main series protagonist, since his predecessors were a series of of potent Newtypes, a man [[Designer Babies|genetically engineered]] for his job, and a super powered martial artist able to kick entire ''buildings'' clear into the sky.
** In a war where Newtypes are the only ones getting a hit on the enemy, ''[[Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam|Zeta Gundam]]'''s Jerid Massa and Yazan "I'm gonna violate you" Gable are at least able to put up a fight with their opponents, though they hardly if ever succeed.
** ''[[Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ|Gundam ZZ]]'' is more difficult in the beginning, since much was just comedic and no [[Serious Business]], but one person should be given credit: Masai, a young woman living in a desert, laying out some traps and fighting the whole Gundam team with an near ancient Gelgoog.
** ''[[Gundam IGLOO|MS IGLOO]]''. Oliver May in the Big Rang.
▲** ''[[Gundam IGLOO|MS IGLOO]]''. Oliver May in the Big Rang. 'Nuff said. To give you an idea, he was an engineer with no piloting experience who got inside a patched-up MA made of a Bigro attached to a custom-built support platform, and completely stomped Fed forces all over A Baoa Qu, to the point they thought he was Char.
*** In the second movie series, there's Ben Barberry, who has the highest MS kill count achieved ''on foot'', and Arleen Nazon, who's team was pretty much the only support Big Tray needed in their ground assault on the Dabudes in Operation Odessa.
** UC Aces have a number of well known badass normals aside from Jerid and Yazaan, Hughes to date is canonically the oldest Gundam pilot (32 years old!), the Twin Stars of Carnage are so badass that they punched out Amuro's G3 Gundam once.
