Line 24:
* The Esper population of Academy City in ''[[A Certain Magical Index]]'' - as long as they're Level 2 or higher (but we only see one Level 1, who is [[Playful Hacker|badass in a different way]]).
** And the Mages are no slouches either.
* In ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'' you pretty much have to be this if you even hope on surviving in the Demon World, a place populated with [[Physical God|A and S Class Demons]]. Hiei himself [[Level Grinding|slaughtered over 500 A class demons]] in order to get himself to an S Class demon.
** To prevent an all out war between three nations, the Demon World had to set up a [[Asskicking Equals Authority]] Tournament where the winner would be crowned king of the Demon World.
* ''[[Rosario + Vampire]]'' has this as a running theme in the Youkai World, where there is a pecking order based on how strong you are, and it's a ruthless [[Social Darwinist]].
Line 99:
* Many [[Cyberpunk]] novels e.g. [[William Gibson]]'s ''[[Neuromancer]]'', [[Neal Stephenson]]'s ''[[Snow Crash]]'', ''[[The Diamond Age]]'' are like this. In a more or less [[Crapsack World|Crapsack]] anarchy dominated by [[Mega Corp|MegaCorps]] where life is cheap some badass-y would be recommended for better survival rate.
* ''[[Discworld]]''. If you intend to mess with someone here, make sure they're not witches, wizards, dwarves, trolls, Mrs. Cake, demons, gods, gnomes, [[Department of Redundancy Department|Mrs. Cake]], werewolves, vampires, pictsies, heroes, [[Rule of Three|Mrs. Cake]], assassins, monks, Sir Samuel Vimes, Death, Susan Sto Helit, the Luggage or last, but not least, the Librarian ([[Running Gag|and Mrs. Cake]]). It's a wonder that anyone else is left in the place.
** An entire ''town'' called Bad Ass appears in ''[[
*** Possibly a [[Shout-Out]] to Shea and Wilson's [[Illuminatus]] trilogy, in which the Texan town of Bad Ass is a throwback to earlier ornery Confederate ways and has a robust attitude to all those northern carpetbagging liberal sissy notions such as desegregation. Bad Ass is an embarrassment to the rest of the USA, which uncomfortably realises that [[Badass]] is how the rest of the world sees the ''whole'' of America.
* World of Badass is a literal description of what happens to the setting of ''Men''. There are only eleven people left on the planet, all men, and they are all '''incredibly damned awesome.'''
* In order to be a [[Time Scout]], you have to be a badass. Hell, just to associate with a time scout will probably require you to be a badass. The only people who aren't badasses are tourists. They're just kind of annoying.
