10 Most Badass Female Characters From Anime

To be honest, Mikasa would be much higher up this list, if it weren’t for THAT ending. Still, regardless of how the story is about to conclude and what it will ask of Mikasa, nothing can diminish the indomitable persona she carried for the majority of this epic.

After a childhood dominated by shocking tragedy, where she lost her home twice, Mikasa is flung into the battle against the Titans, courtesy of Eren and his obsession. Having been physically gifted since childhood, she aces military training and graduates as the top of her batch.

Being irreversibly tied to Eren, she follows him into the Survey Corps and very quickly establishes herself as a key asset on the frontlines. With each passing battle, she goes from strength to strength, even measuring up to the likes of Levi with her Titan slicing prowess.

She is also not just a one dimensional killing machine. The emotional core of her character slowly surfaces as every trial forces more of her human needs to come out, especially her romantic feelings for Eren. All and all, you will struggle to find a character as complete as Mikasa, in any form of entertainment.
