10 Most Badass Female Characters From Anime

10. Revy - Black Lagoon

Anyone who happens to be involved in the profession of modern day piracy and mercenaries, has to be quite a tough customer. It goes without saying, they have to clear a certain bar when it comes battle prowess, strength, and daring. Revy takes all that and turns it up to 1100.

Part of a battle-hardened, sea-borne mercenary crew, Revy often serves as the vanguard of the group. From hand to hand brawls, to naval battles, she is an indispensable component of the team. Her skills include just about anything that shoots and can be used to kill someone.

It’s also not just her limbs that wound the enemy, but her tongue too. Over time, she has produced a plethora of memorable dialogues and one liners that her opponent at a loss for words.

Of course, action alone cannot make a character. Revy’s persona, despite the violent and foul mouthed nature, is built around a strong emotional core. She only got to where she is, after an entire childhood’s worth of struggle and trauma, including having to shoot her own abusive dad.
