A lot of great, classic, and obvious examples here. I won't mention them except "Seconded!" and that's it.

However, I want to bring to the table a different example of a great display of feminine strength. To me at least, Kou Shuurei of Saiunkoku Monogatari was amazing in episodes 7 and 8 of the show's second season. Mind you, she's a bit of a Mary Sue -- everybody of importance loves her, though rightfully so since she's totally awesome -- but those two episodes show her utterly pwned her way through the capital to get what she wants. I was amazed; that's one dangerously powerful, smart, and determined lady, nice girl as she is.

1- Roberta from Black Lagoon ~ The most scary thing is that she's a mere human.

2- Galatea from Claymore ~ Maybe Ophelia is more badass of a character, but she's way too crazy. Galatea is able to be a fine, gentle-mannered and soft-spoken lady and at the same time a walking monstrosity.

3- Evangeline from Negima ~ Who said that chibis can't be deadly? She's cruel, devilish, cold, absurdly powerful, and teh loli of her manga. Oh well =P.

4- Masane Amaha from Witchblade ~ *after this, expects to be hanged* Yes, I liked her a lot, especially in her infamous last, slow-motion scene of the last episode of the anime, oooh boy.

5- Saber & Black Saber from Fate/stay night ~ Well, the last one to be mentioned but the first true badass I've ever known. Truth, "badass" applies more to Black Saber, but evil or good, she's by far the best.

(Of course, this is not a Top5, I deserved to be shot otherwise ^^")

Lucy from Elfen Lied everything packed into one.

I wish i had split personality.

archaznable · 2008-02-21, 10:38

For me the only thing in my mind the most badass female character is Haman Karn from Gundam ZZ .... leader of the Neo Zeon piloted the Qubely.

Blizzer · 2008-02-21, 13:56

-has red eyes

-gothic black dress

-weilds a chainsaw

-cool and cold demeanor

Hime from Kaibutsu Oujo is the personification of badass.

Amray · 2008-03-01, 19:02

Saya from Blood+!

And Anita King from R.O.D.

Snait3 · 2008-03-01, 19:15

Lady and Trish from Devil May Cry Anime XD

Mashda2k6 · 2008-03-04, 22:52

Roberta/Balalaika/Revy @Black Lagoon

I mostly watch comedies or romances so this category is pretty unknown to me.

Diodati · 2008-03-04, 23:13

Yuki Minaguchi from Air Master. She's probably the pinnacle of badass.

She's been mentioned before in this thread too, so that makes me v. happy.

EDIT: It's also kind of cool that Koyama Mami (the seiyuu for Minaguchi Yuki) also voiced Balalaika (Black Lagoon) - another particularly memorable badass female of the last few years for me.

KholdStare · 2008-03-04, 23:46

xNirvash Type0x · 2008-03-05, 00:54

Yoko Ritona from Gurren Lagann (best anime evur

)

Trish and Lady from Devil May Cry

And Tsunade from Narto

SinsI · 2008-03-05, 04:43

Crazy police woman from Full Metal Panic Fumoffu
She is as strong as Sagara in his battle suit and not afraid to resort to blackmail.

NoSanninWa · 2008-03-05, 04:48

Characters who are granted powers for slapstic comedic effect are not even remotely badass or else you'd have to include Naru from Love Hina.

SinsI · 2008-03-05, 10:26

Naru is not a bad-ass cause she's rarely in her killer mode and generally doesn't have the attitude.
But how can you say Wakana Yoko is not a bad-ass?

She's basically bad-ass'ness incarnate.
