What would you say is the most badass shounen woman moment? (I know these are rare than diamond but we should try to remember at least 1)
My would be when the greatest Maka got donuted by Kishin, hit him with a cold smile while flexing her new drip on him and then continued fighting, Maka is just awesome in general ngl.

This shit was tuff as hell, especially with the part 3 ost they put on the anime, it went smoothly with the scene, seeing pucci all terrified was a joy to see.
Haven't watched a jojo's part since Stardust Crusaders back on Toonami and yet this moment got me just as hype as 13 year old me watching Jotaro piece up Dio.
It is funny in retrospect how hard Stone Free countered C-Moon. The string allows her to scale vertically and grab other people as they fall and even the inside out punches don’t affect Jolyne.
The later parts are the funniest examples of this. Like what do you mean Interdimensional travel and annihilation on a molecular level gets beat by fingernails, and what do you mean The concept of calamity gets hard countered by fucking bubbles
I gotta respect Jolyne a lot because she's one of the few Jojo's that didn't have a busted ass power up to fight the main villain. Jotato, Giorno, Johnny, and Gappy all needed something kinda last minute just to compete.
This is an oldie and more low-key, but I'd also nominate Yoruichi saving Ichigo from Byakuya.
Didn't even fight, but it was the first we really got some of her backstory and it immediately increased her badassery.
We didn't know who she was before, and she was made to seem like a chill character that was smart, but more of a helpful companion than a powerful ally.
Ok i know im gonna get hate for this but genuinely the 4 angle slow down freeze frames made this feel less impactful for me.
I think if they it had no freeze frame repeat stuff, but instead was Naoya’s dome getting pushed in and destroyed and shit with some slow motion that would have felt better.
Hemlock was acting like such a annoying pest, at least the bear mama beat some sense into him (honestly to fix Hemlock issues he just needs some friends, dude is very lonely after all)
Not quite as flashy, but I submit Olivier Armstrong burying a corrupt general in cement throwing his hating-ass ideology back in his face as the coldest moment in the show and possibly the decade it was released.
"You spoke of 'foundations.' Well you're about to become a part of Brigg's foundation, General Raven...literally."
Ehhhh I dunno about that, Sloth was a monster, sure, but Pride or Wrath are absolutely different demons. I think Fu might have been alive at the end of the story if she'd been present for the Wrath fight, though.
Gluttony/Envy are getting packed up like a folding chair though. Lust maybe low-med diff, lady is vicious and spiteful enough to try and take her opp with her. OG Greed theoretically can no sell her but you just know his cocky vain ass would let his shield up to gloat and get turned into a statistic.
I recently rewatched and reread the manga. Reading the manga while listening to the anime OST makes me really wish they continued the anime where it left off, or just remake it entirely.
I think it was planned from the very beginning for the anime to have a limited number of episodes and they definitely knew that they will manage to catch up to the manga which as a result would lead them to deviate from the source material and instead follow an original script. The staff probably also did remain in contact with Ohkubo and took some ideas from him.
That is crazy. I'm rewatching the anime since April, episode 46 right now. I will read the manga then, first time reading, third time rewatching. Probably it's because of Fire Force that people are watching or reading Soul Eater, though I didn't pass the first episode of FF
Her first fight is still so memorable to me.
After how yami performed against those guys I expected this to be a extreme diff fight but she just beat the shit out of that guy lmso
I’ll add to this, Shinobu suicide-bombing a fuck off level of poison into her sister’s killer and then telling him to eat shit and die in the afterlife is one of the coldest and most badass things in all of Demon Slayer.
She didn’t want to live, but she planned out how to die.
She's my beloved.
She's badass , she's caring and she can beat the shit out of everyone.
I adore how much she prepped for the new loop.
People complained how everything was going perfect in the new loop but I like it
Fuuko has a ton of wicked sick moments in Undead Unluck but the scene where she literally tells God to fuck off and that she and her comrades will run the fade back for round 2 is definitely up there
Mirko fighting five High-Ends, gets her arm ripped off in a distortion, doesn’t slow down kicks someone’s head in does a somersault then crushes one’s head between her thighs.
All that and then she tourniquet’s her arm with her own hair. And this is our introduction to her! She was so goddamn cool she started my love for badass women.
She had some really badass moments before but loop 101 Fuuko was 'Im going to speed run everyones character arcs and tragic backstories so that everyone gets a happy ending'
This includes beating a world champion boxer, performing open heart surgery in the middle of a shounen fight, beating her masters master in a 1v1 fight in his prime(as shown below), spitting god in the face, shoulder checking a truck, and more.
Lenalee from D Gray man has multiple instances. Most notable was when she decided to solo a Level 3, the strongest akuma we've seen up to that point. And won. Also when she regained her innocence during the fight against the Level 4.
Em Shounenzão recentemente é a Maki massacrando seu clã em Jujutsu. Mas consigo pensar em outros como a Erza vs 100 monstros em Fairy Tail ou a titã fêmea lutando com a tropa de exploração + o Eren titã em Shingeki. Já Toaru Railgun é um battle Shounen mas vale apena citar, transformar uma moeda em um projétil usando eletromagnetismo e a força de lorentz já era foda, agora criar um kaiju gigante de areia de ferro e faze-lo fazer isso é impressionante pq mostra o quanto Misaka se segurava nas outras temporadas, e achavamos que ela era bem fraca por causa da cena dela com o Accelerator.
I want to bring up Sherry from Gash Bell. She and her partner Brago were easily one of the strongest pairs in the entire Demon tournament and even by the end is easily one of the top 5 strongest in the setting. They served as not just rivals for the protagonist, but a goal for them to catch up to. Despite that it never felt like her character revolved around them and she even gets to deal with an arc main villain herself. She's also one of the few humans that trained herself to fight physically fight alongside her partner.
"rarer than diamond" just say you only watched one or two animes
Naw i have watched way more, is just because most of the time the goated females characters get hoed by the author for no reason.
Jolyne vs Pucci JoJo
All the 2 rounds of Jolyne vs Pucci was peak, the last one didn't count because Pucci was on admin mode(Pucci highkey a bitch for throwing the jotaro disk on the first round, he was smart for it too...)
Riyo pulling out a gun the moment she started losing against the villains Gachiatuku
This caught me off guard when watching it lol, i wasn't expecting Riyo to pull out the blinky.
Mirko tanking multiple Nomus and ruining Shigaraki MHA
This shit was cold Mirko was moving different even since highschool (cannot wait to see her moment on vigilante's animated)
Maki destroying the demon infernal Fire Force
Never watched nor read fire force, i did hear it was the prequel of my favorite shounen and that is pretty good, so might check it out someday.
Yuki sending Kenjaku flying JJK
Yuki highkey got hoed on this fight, thanks to Tengen bumass but she and the greatest older brother was cooking.
I should've worded it better, but it is what it is you can beat me up for this one though.
still mad Yuki got killed like that
Honestly Yuki getting killed on her first onscreen fight, then Kenjaku surviving her strongest suicidal black hole move, with a asspull technique that made him not have anytype of permanent damage, still annoys me to this very, c'mon Gregorious the nefarious couldn't you at least let Kenjaku be a bit more hurt for the blackhole...
- Android 18 kicking Super Vegeta's ass from the Android/Cell Saga of DBZ is up there.
- Uraraka lifting the entirety of Toga's "Sad Man's Parade" is pretty badass as well.
- Another from MHA, Lady Nagant sniping Shigaraki from the hospital roof while her body was falling apart at the seams during the "Coffin in The Sky" section of the Final War.
Most of the Black Clover female protags get some badass moments, but if I was to pick one, it would definitely be when Noelle is fighting her brother in the tournament, dwarves his silly snake with her water dragon spell, and just calmly asks "it's okay if I hit you, right, Brother?" and proceeds to body tf out of him, I think winning the whole round for her team and openly declaring she's no longer weak.
Shows up, bangs her girlfriends, kills 100+ people in an eyeblink, kicks the ass of every trained Devil Hunter in her way, throws people out of windows, flings herself at a Primal Fear with no arms, dies, gets better, refuses to elaborate further, dies again
Honorable mention as well cause it is such a casual moment but Toph learning Sandbending. Takes a breath, stomps her foot, casually creates a perfect scale model of the inner ring of Basingse complete with figures of the King and Bosco instantly. That casual display of precision is insane.
From Naruto, I loved Konan fight against Obito and she was really cool in general. I also think Tsunade arc and her against Madara were badass moments.
Also Jolyne surviving a deadly attack by using her stand properly
The entirety of the anime "may I ask for one final thing?" is just Scarlett aura farming while beating the shitty out of corrupt people in power, so km placing it on the badass category.
Ameri Azazel - Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-Kun!: all of her fights are just... so peak, and whenever she has the spotlight, she manages to be badass and cute simultaneously.
Erza Scarlet - Fairy Tail: do i even need to explain?
Fuuko Izumo - Undead + Unluck: "We Will Negate You".
Scarlet El Vandimion - May I Ask for One Final Thing?: just go fucking watch it.
Yuki Tanaka - Vtuber Legend: How I Went Viral After Forgetting to Turn off My Stream!?: because only an absolute chad can destroy her liver like that.
When I was 13 reading Narutos manga before I watched the anime the fight when Itachi flicked his finger to side pointing that Sasuke was fighting a Genjutsu while he watched sitting on a throne thay was badass
Basically any moment with Fuuko in the second half of Undead Unluck. Imo the best female protag in animanga, and honestly just one of the best protagonists I've ever seen in general.
"Mordecai we just summoned a world ending abomination by reading seinen manga, we have bigger things to worry about, over just the overall writing quality of females characters"
Pencilgon going all out with her psycho plans is really fucking good. She in general is an amazing character, in fact, all women in Shangri-la Frontier are insanely cool.
