World of Action Girls: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Black Lagoon]]'' is almost the poster for this trope. While Mr. Chang and Dutch certainly are no slouches, compared to Revy, Balalaika, Roberta, Eda, Fabiola, Sawyer, Shenhua, and others, they might as well just toss their guns up and kick back.

* Roughly every [[Magical Girl]] show, for obvious reasons. A lot of times, it's not just the main cast members; the monsters of the week are often all-female as well (as is often the case in ''[[Cutey Honey]]'' or ''[[Sailor Moon]]'').

* ''[[Claymore]]'' actually tries to justify this trope. Women inherently make better Claymores than men, because men are more likely to become Awakened Beings.

* ''[[Dog Days]]'' plays with this while [[The Hero]] is a male there are more named Female [[Action Girl|warriors]].

* ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]'', with a full cast of super powered heroines... and only two males, Tenchi and his grandfather {{spoiler|the legendary Jurian prince, Yosho}}, worth mentioning. He and the others often have to rely on [[Mad Scientist|Washuu's]] reality warping scientific genius, [[Space Pirate|Ryoko's]] raw power and tenacity, and [[The Ojou|Ayeka's]] Jurian powers to save them. Then there's the spiritual embodiment of Jurai's greatest battleship [[Lady of War|Tsunami]], queen of the universe (by proxy of Jurai) [[Hot Mom|Funaho]], and captain of the royal guard [[Cloudcuckoolander|Misaki]]. With women like these running the show, [[Stealth Pun|who needs Tenchi, indeed.]]

** An odd example, since Tenchi is the main character and eventually becomes the most powerful of them all, but aside from him, his Grandfather, and a handful of villains, everyone with power lacks a Y chromosome.

** Except the last part of the Sisters arc, as the main heroine needs to ask a guy to help her defeat the [[Big Bad]], but [[Justified]] since that's how it was on the original series.

* In ''[[Change 123]]'', the focus is mostly on female-on-male (with female usually being more skillful) or female-on-female fights, with the latter ones being more prevalent from the chapter 20 onwards. (And, on top of that, there is also an all-female ninja clan!) This creates an interesting situation during the sport festival, when the teachers insist that girls should be the "riders" on the "battle on horses", believing that they would be less aggressive than boys, not knowing that there is a badass girl in each of the three teams, one of them being also a [[Blood Knight]].
