Fairy tail is classes as Echhi along with shonnen.



So many nude scenes...

Don't even start..

Kaguya - too much power not much real fighting experience.

Big mam sure let her show exactly how important role she would get and where she would fit in. For all I know she may turn out to be just another token powerful female which, otherwise, is easily replaceable with talking cat or a lamp post even.


Hancock- yea right..... her power to stupefy guy with her beauty and yet it doesn't work on Luffy so all her brain cells suddenly die . One would think years of slavery gave her enough worldly knowledge but no she suddenly but nope.....she acts like a 5 year old when he is around.

Am I supposed to be impressed?

Bellmere, Olvia, Monet and even more female characters that had not much screentime, yet been not used for fs, were badass females that stood for the things they believed in. And even had important parts in the story for the mc's.


Vivi! She wasn't strong but she did all she can to save everyone and to stop the war.
Just look at Koala now. Another female that looks like being a great character in the future.

You don't get it do you?

They are there but then they are not. It's not that writers don't add some strong female characters at all but they do not have that much value as the male ones in the same category. Who was Monet? I mean what do you know about her? Would it make much difference in the story if she was just a flying magical pigeon instead of being a woman?

I bet you didn't get when I said they are just one of the guys. Robin is a better character. Why did you left her out?

That is the point of OP! Oda loves to add details and development even in side characters. Why would they not have much value?
Bellmere is the person that made out of Nami the strong girl she is now, the one that is important for the crew.
Olvia is the mother of Robin and she follows the same dream like her, which is important since she is the only one that can read the poneglyphs. (i didn't add them because it should be obvious that both of them are important)

What about Otohime..? I know she has no fighting prowess or anything but she seemed pretty important. She sort of kickstarted something that in the future is an important event.
Nico Robin. She has a huge importance to the secret plot

As someone said females are added as fanservice and some colour in sonnen. At best they are one of the guys( right behind the least important main male lead-Nami, Tashigi) , at worst they are just a wife sitting at home or staring at the hero from behind a pillar with no independent goals of their own other than being helpful to MC or other lead characters.

It's target audience is male so that's understandable but don't compare them as with the male characters in the same verse.
You are Wrong ..

Rukia Kuchiki - Female Protagonist nearly as strong as Ichigo ,Renji and Uryuu

Izumi Curtis - Badass Female Sensei who taught Edward and Alphonse

Armstrong - Bravest female character who started coup against father in Full Metal

Mikasa Ackerman - Strongest fighter in attack on Titans even stronger than Eren .

Robin - She is part of Revolutionary and mystery behind her

Time is changing in Shonen Manga to there are lot of female characters that are strong .

We already got most male personae with the males in the SH, I mean we got the badass/stoic kinda guy, the goof ball,the perveted(3 types at that), the cowardly kind and the look up to other guys kind, so all in all we got a bit close to enough males.

With the ladies we only got 2 and thats the reserved chick and the loud chick(don't flame me, I cld have said annoying).

Some other female persona willb a great addition to the crew, I wld like a girl who interacts more with the guys though not in a sluty fashion, but more of a one with.the guys type u know the type who can roll with the calamities of ussop n Luffy but come battle time they r very Zoro similar.

If we do get a chick I want a dinstinct fighting style for them maybe something like Koala n her fishmen Karate(not saying her exactly but she wldnt b that bad really).

I'm a troll? Im definitely not a troll.
I joke sometimes, but I always tell people I was joking. If you'd read my comments you wouldn't have to neg-repe me :)
I neg repped you because you wrote (and by that I mean: were trolling that) Oda died, and you keep posting in the OP section even though you don't read the manga, so yes as far as this section goes you are a spammer and a troll

The post you were responding to said steong female character ... As in ohysically strong
Meaning your reply meant physically strong as well

Fanservice, character importance, etc aside, the female characters I listed ARE Combat strong

If you were replying to a post that brought up character relevance etc than that would be a different matter, but you weren't, it was simply a post about the strength of the 2 female SHs, you replied that you shouldnt expect steong females in shonen and than I replied with a few strong females in shonen ... As simple as that

We all know female and male roles in shonen arent equal, that pretty much goes for most literary works, from fantasy to historical fiction ...

I want either Koala, Monet or that Giant girl with the small-small fruit or whatever it was, that we saw at the beginning of New World.
Which giant?

New crew member, if female, would hardly be different than other girls. Don't expect strong female character in a shonnen genre. You will set yourself up for disappointment.
She says as Big Mom, Tsuru, Hancock and the woman on Teach's crew continue to exist.

I find it laughable that people think Oda will never incorporate strong females, as though he always let shimself be limited to his genre.

Its not bad to add another female. Nami isn't that weak after time skip.Robin is the best female character for me.
I want to see a female admiral with insane haki rivaling shanks(though i don't think oda will do this but iam excited to see a strongest female character in that position)

Other than the powerful females that the other people have listed... Here's momousagi:

She was considered to be one of the new admirals during the TS but Greenbull & Fujitora made the cut. Her being considered for that powerful position is already a good feat. for her.

OT: There's too many guys and it'll cool to have a fighter female.... not to mention fan-service lel.

I think she's from the anime, episode ±570(or there about), during the Neo marines promotional fillers. @MugiwaraBoy even if she maybe was from the manga she and Luffy with their appetites wld bankrupt the SH for sure, though I did have that she wld b a good SH thought too(only that hope for shattered when realization came half a second later).

Edit: her name is Lily Enstomach and its the mini mini no mi, just to add.
