History Main / GirlWithPsychoweapon

* Every angel (especially the main character) in ''[[LightNovel/BludgeoningAngelDokurochan Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan]]'' wields a dangerous weapon, usually with extremely violent and gory results. The title character Dokuro uses her giant spiked club Excalibolg on Sakura to [[MadeOfPlasticine splatter him into tiny bits]]...[[OncePerEpisode repeatedly]].

* An extremely unusual instance of this trope occurs in ''Manga/TriGun''. Milly is generally a very large, quiet, cheerful woman. However, when danger looms, she pulls out a ''freaking enormous'' gun from underneath her voluminous cloak.

* Chachazero from ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'', a PerversePuppet who seems to have been [[FrozenFace built]] with a constant, innocent smile is somewhere over a foot in height and carries [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mahou_sensei_negima/v06/c052/15.html a knife]] over twice that size.

* The {{Yandere}} Belarus from ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' is sometimes seen with a knife in her hands...

* Nekoko from ''Manga/KannazukiNoMiko'' attacks with a giant syringe the size of her body.

* ''LightNovel/HaiyoreNyarkoSan'': Nyarko is primarily a CrowbarCombatant, but at one point she pulls a {{chainsaw|Good}} out of [[TrouserSpace Skirt Space]] and uses it to cleave through a horde of minion-level enemies.
* In {{Anime/FLCL}}, Haruko is definitely psycho and uses her bass guitar like a battleaxe. The best example of this trope is when she pulls a "crazy nurse" routine in the first episode.

* In ''LightNovel/KaraNoKyoukai'', Shiki Ryougi is a pretty, affable girl who is obsessed with large knives.

* ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' character [[KnifeNut Sakuya]] [[NinjaMaid Izayoi]] seems to be this, to an extent.

* Creator/EllenPage dons WolverineClaws in ''Film/{{Super}}''.

* ''VideoGame/CaptiveRPGMaker'': In the Remember ending, [[spoiler:the VillainProtagonist]] wields a knife while killing the blonde girl, and she also has two bloody chainsaws lying around, indicating she used them at some point.

** Saya Takagi gets her first kill while cornered in a supply closet, and the only thing she can crab at is a [[ThisIsADrill power drill.]] The subversion is that, while she doesn't hesitate (since she, y'know, doesn't want to get eaten), she has a [[HeroicBSOD complete breakdown]] over the situation, so the psycho part isn't so much AxCrazy as it is post traumatic stress disorder.

* Spinel From ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' uses a huge scythe as a weapon, which can wipe away the memories of the gem it hits.

* Aversion: ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' has [[JeanneDArchetype Leliana]], a heroic equivalent who first shows up trying to talk down the bad guys while dressed in the robes of a priestess (I may add that no priestess has been seen so far in the game with any sort of lethal weapon) and jumps in on your side with a long knife when things go south.

** Female elven warrior Warden. [[{{BFS}} Two-handed broadsword]]. [[BewareTheNiceOnes Run]].

* Molly in ''VideoGame/TheWalkingDead'' fights with an ice axe she calls Hilda. And she's more badass with it than all the other characters combined.

* In an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKbALlgvUHs infamous scene]] from a chapter of ''Manga/AzumangaDaioh'', Osaka thought she'd wake up Yukari-sensei by banging on a frying pan, but since she was half-asleep herself at the time, she took a knife out of the cupboard instead, with the result that Yukari woke up to see a [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant groggy-eyed, knife-wielding Osaka]] standing in the bedroom doorway.
-->'''Yukari''': W-what?\\
'''Osaka''': Oh, you're awake? I screwed up.
** Even funnier in the manga, where she just says "That's too bad." (Referring back to the fact that she's always wanted to try the frying-pan thing, but imagine being in Yukari's position and hearing that...)
*** It's amazing Yukari managed to get any sleep the next night.

** They've got nothing on the stapler, though.

* There's perhaps an unfortunate lack of female Meisters in ''Manga/SoulEater'' to wield Psycho Weapons. But we do have Maka Albarn, with her [[SinisterScythe scythe]] Weapon Soul Eater. Kim's Weapon Jackie does not ''look'' too dangerous as a lantern. [[KillItWithFire Until she starts using her as a flamethrower]]. [[StuffBlowingUp Or an explosive at close range]]. The crazed smile on the lantern's side should have been a hint, one thinks. And then there's Patti wielding pistol Liz with potentially deadly enthusiasm.

--> '''Fred:''' The halberd could work. Acting like I'm all addle-brained talking about other dimensions. ''(mocking)'' Pylea? Never heard of it! ''(angry)'' Right. How 'bout a flail-whipping? Would that take a nice long time?
--> '''Angel:''' Hours, if you do it right. — Not that you should do it at all. ''(takes whip from her)'' Ever.

* In ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'', the Sisters of Battle ([[AmazonBrigade an entire army]] of [[ChurchMilitant Nuns With Guns]]) feature large numbers of women carrying [[KillItWithFire gigantic flame-throwers]], [[{{BFG}} fully automatic armour-piercing rocket-propelled-grenade launchers]], and [[EnergyWeapon guns which melt tanks]]...as a basic troops choice, but this being ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'', this is nothing to raise a brow at. The true psycho-weapon carriers are Sisters Repentia, entire squads of women wearing three strategically-placed scraps of parchment and carrying ''[[{{BFS}} eight-foot-long]] [[ChainsawGood chainsaw swords]]'', driven on by an armoured woman with a barbed cat-o-nine-tails in each hand.

* Jade Sinclair (Generator) of the Literature/WhateleyUniverse ''loves'' this trope. There's her plush cabbit doll... that turns into a KillerRabbit and once slaughtered around a dozen badguys in one fight. There's her Hello Kitty compact, which flies... and knives pop out of the sides to become a [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning spinning top of doom]]. There's 'Spinner', which is basically a lawnmower blade spinning at high speed without the lawnmower engine or housing getting in the way. There's the big athame that she turned into a spinning blade. The railroad spikes. The bear trap. There's a reason she's on the page for CrazyAwesome.

* The major part of the psycho weapon-wielding anime girls [[TropeCodifier are predated]] by [[spoiler: Mariko Shinobu]] from ''Manga/OniisamaE''. In the last part of the series, when the local AlphaBitch [[spoiler: Aya Misaki]] mocks her due to [[spoiler: her parents's extremely messy and public divorce]]... an already very unstable [[spoiler: Mariko]] [[FreakOut snaps so badly]] that she [[spoiler: ''slashes Aya's arms, clothes and back with a knife that she had somehow smuggled into her school things''.]] These events [[spoiler: get Mariko kicked out of the Sorority... and start the "rolling snow ball" that concludes with the dissolution of said Sorority]].

* [[TheGrimReaper Death's]] adopted daughter in ''Discworld/TheLightFantastic'':

** Of course, due to the level of {{Retcon}} in the early Discworld books, when we properly meet Ysabell in Discworld/{{Mort}}, just ''two books later'', she's a perfectly normal (normal enough, anyway) girl, albeit a bit spoiled.

* Spinel From Steven Universe uses a huge scythe as a weapon, which can wipe away the memories of the gem it hits.

* ''Manga/CellsAtWork'': Macrophages are depicted as [[BoobsOfSteel busty]], [[DissonantSerenity oddly-calm]] young ladies in maid dresses... who cheerfully dismember pathogens with various oversized weapons and then [[EatingTheEnemy eat them]].

* Haruna from ''Anime/KoreWaZombieDesuKa'' also wields a chainsaw.

* ''VideoGame/Persona5'' ''[[UpdatedRerelease Royal]]'' has [[spoiler:Lavenza]] posing with a chainsaw in the All-Out Attack portrait.

* The Guild of Assassins in the ''Literature/{{Discworld}} of Creator/AAPessimal... well, how long a list is needed? {{BadassIsraeli Rivka ben-Divorah]] with makeshift guided missiles and incendiaries; [[{{Tykebomb}} Famke Smith-Rhodes-Stibbons]] with hand grenades; Famke's mother, who has creative thoughts about using Golems as suicide bombs, if the chem is written correctly...

* Haruna from ''Manga/KoreWaZombieDesuKa'' also wields a chainsaw.

There's 'Spinner', which is basically a lawnmower blade spinning at high speed without the lawnmower engine or housing getting in the way. There's the big athame that she turned into a spinning blade. The railroad spikes. The bear trap. There's a reason she's on the page for CrazyAwesome.

* ''{{WebAnimation/RWBY}}'' has main character Ruby, whose weapon is Crescent Rose: a red and black scythe taller than she is which also incorporates a high-caliber sniper rifle. She is also TheHeart of the main characters, a sweet idealistic girl who mainly wants to help people through slaying monsters.
