Girl with Psycho Weapon: Difference between revisions

== Anime & Manga ==

* ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni (Visual Novel)|Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni]]'' is built off of this trope, to the point where some call it "the Killer-Loli anime". The series features the iconic, [[Ax Crazy]] Ryuugu Rena, a.k.a. "Cleaver Girl". (The weapon, [[Depending On the Writer|depending on who you ask]], is either a cleaver, a hooked machete, or a billhook/cleaver.) The machete is, mostly, used to find cute things. [[Beware the Nice Ones|Mostly]]. The Sonozaki family has an elaborate torture room that is put to good use, while Shion favors her taser. And even Rika wields a large butcher knife at one point. A syringe also makes a few appearances as a weapon, {{spoiler|although it's never actually used for ill -- it's always either an antidote for the show's slow-acting [[Hate Plague]] or a hallucination}} (except for {{spoiler|when one was used to kill Tomitake}}). Rika's weapon of choice, however, seems to be a '''mop''' {{spoiler|, as seen in the Atonement chapter}}. This is even her weapon in Daybreak, a ''fighting'' game.

* In ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya (Light Novel)|Haruhi Suzumiya]]'', {{spoiler|Asakura Ryouko wields a knife in a menacing fashion - despite [[Fridge Logic|the fact that she can]] [[Reality Warper|alter reality]] [[Just Hit Him|and could probably make Kyon's head]] [[Your Head Asplode|explode]] [[Just Hit Him|just by thinking about it.]]}}

** {{spoiler|And she does all this while [[Stepford Smiler|smiling pleasantly]].}}

** Saya Takagi gets her first kill while cornered in a supply closet, and the only thing she can crab at is a [[This Is a Drill|power drill.]] The subversion is that, while she doesn't hesitate (since she, y'know, doesn't want to get eaten), she has a [[Heroic BSOD|complete breakdown]] over the situation, so the psycho part isn't so much [[Axe Crazy]] as it is post traumatic stress disorder.

* In ''[[Bitter Virgin]]'', Kazuki wields a pair of scissors and on several occasions has attempted to stab Hinako as she sees her stealing Daisuke from her. When Yuzu asks her about said scissors, Kazuki casually replies they are for "protection from perverts".

* ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)|Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'': Kyouko's huge [[Blade On a Stick|spear]], Mami's Tiro Finale.

* [[Fairy Tail|Erza]] in her flashback wielding [[Dual Wield|two]] [[BFS|BFSES]].

* Lily from ''[[After Lily]]'' wields her psycho weapon (a knife) as early as page [http://www.drunkduck.com/After_Lily/index.php?p=421878 4] with very... bloody results.

* Kanaya (grimAuxiliatrix) from ''[[Homestuck]]'' wields a chainsaw. {{spoiler|And is perfecty fine with using it to CUT OFF TAVROS' LEGS WHILE HE'S SLEEPING.}}

*** And then it's [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005434 played straight]. (Her victim does have it coming.)

** Subverted also in that, in a [[Mythology Gag]] reference to [[Problem Sleuth]], the chainsaw often turns into a tube of lipstick. {{spoiler|1=And then double subverted when she [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005441 coolly applies] the lipstick, which is still covered in her chainsaw victim's blood.}}
