Well done Sunrise for trying to beat the system. It didn't solve the problem, but at least you tried.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little baka? I'll have you know that I graduated top of my class in Keine's terakoya, and I've been involved in numerous secret attacks on Reimu Hakurei, and I have over 300 confirmed frozen frogs. I am trained in icicle warfare and I'm the top fairy in the entire Gensokyo population. You are nothing to me but just another target to freeze. I will wipe you the fuck out with spells the likes of which have never been seen before in Gensokyo, mark my fucking words. You think that you can get away with saying that shit to me over Yukari's gap? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of s across Gensokyo and your location is being traced right now so you better prepare for the Little Bug Storm, maggot. The Little Bug Storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, human. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred different ways, and that's just with my icicles. Not only am I extensively trained in non-spell combat, but I have access to the entire library of the Scarlet Devil Mansion and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of Gensokyo, you little baka. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will freeze in it. You're fucking dead, baka.

Any character is "strong" if you just use their physical stats. Every anime girl other than the designated moeblob and jump high enough to girlhandle a grown up man in a fight. A truly "strong" girl is both physically but also mentally strong. Any girl that needs to be saved by a man as a part of the plot, to attract romance vibes, would not be strong even if she could destroy the whole world. Pic related. She can be one of the top dogs in town, but relying on MC like a little bitch seals her fate down. She should have helped against Accel at least.

>implying Kagura is not physically and mentally strong
Did you even see the episode where she defeated her brother in the battle of ideals in both in Shogun Assassination arc and Rakuyo arc (where they had they final "battle")? Even Kamui himself admitted that she grew stronger and he can't keep losing to his sister. She's literally the most developed female character in the series and probably the character that had the best character development. You can see how much she grew just looking at the amount of time she spent with Gin (who also happens to be her role model and a brother figure) and Shinpachi.

https://youtu.be/Vjp16Ua8ziM
https://youtu.be/AswjhHZGoUM

Her character is mostly used for comedy, which is like 90% of the whole show. But you can't deny the fact that Kagura is a strong character when shit hits the fan.

What is a strong female character?

A man with tits

Why do Burgers think a strong woman cannot be feminine?

Latent homosexuality?

>>157272760
Togo in YuYuYu is very ladylike and I'd say she was a strong character. Same could be said for PTSD-chan in Sora no Woto (blonde, not miss holocaust)

To have a strong female character, first we have to ask ourselves what it is to be a woman. Otherwise we fall into the "man with tits" character.

But I think someone can answer that.

Ryuuko is strong. There is a difference between failing once and consistently needing to be saved. She bodies men all day long and the only times she loses is so that she can get a power boost in typical shonen fashion, the only characters stronger than her in her series are women. By your logic you could say Naruto isn't strong because he always lost at the beginning, even though by the end of his series he is literally ninja jesus.

>>157278310
Can she win against the dick?

Is she still strong if she loses some of her fights or needs the MC or one of her friends to save her from time to time even though she contributes the most in fights and is exposed to the most danger in a fight? She is also like the second or third strongest in her group. She also has a pretty strong temper.

I know not many were fond of this show ( one of BONES best IMO) but one thing that can't be denied his her character arc, especially when she confronts her sister who's been transformed into a near moons sized , weapon of mass destruction that's been laying waste to cities.

Nakiami was great too but Haru was underrated

The worst part is when you have a strong female shounen character, but she never trains or gets into fights because

war isn't necessarily just between countries. women have been in battle since the beginning of time. women have also always had a strong supporting role in war.

wish fulfillment for dumb men who want to self insert as the "hero who saves the damsel in distress"

>>157289570
women were often called upon to provide intel and act as spies (an invaluable role in war) as well as often being used as a defense role when soldiers were understaffed.
also came along with the main force for various supporting tasks.
outside of the well known shit, lots of cultures had women participating quite often in battle. and almost every culture has stories of women warriors playing a major role.

I'm not saying they were all over the place in war, but saying they never had a role in combat or war is ridiculous.
