Himiko possesses an endearing exterior that sharply contrasts with her underlying danger. Izuku and his friends have come to realize not to underestimate her, recognizing that she’s far from just another ordinary school-uniformed petty criminal.

Kurumi stands as one of the most formidable spirits in Date A Live, possessing the ability to manipulate time and space.

3. Yor Briar (Spy x Family)

Her tally of Titan kills ranks second only to Captain Levi Ackerman, one of the Scout Regiment’s most formidable soldiers. Throughout her adulthood, Mikasa retains her status as a relentless protector whenever Eren faces peril.

1. Makima (Chainsaw Man)

In Chainsaw Man, it’s a unique case where each girl’s character is uniquely flawed, often in quirky and oddly compelling ways.
