History Main / WorldOFBadass

** [[spoiler:Or Whitebeard, who was quite possibly the most badass person on the planet. [[DyingMomentOfAwesome He even DIED]] [[DiedStandingUp in a badass way!]]]]]]

* ''{{Baccano}}''. All named characters can fight. All exceptions [[TookALevelInBadass learn]].

*** [[spoiler:Wrong. The real standout example will be when Luffy meets Akainu. He can be a Logia, he can be an admiral - it won't save him]].
*** [[spoiler:Err, actually right. He did meet Akainu. Akainu was the one that '''killed his big brother in front of his own eyes''', remember? That act alone was why Luffy went into a HeroicBSOD[=/=]AngstComa lasting two weeks, and leaving Luffy when he wakes up, co contemplating whether he's {{Badass}} enough to be Pirate King. Until the already awesome Luffy [[TookALevelInBadass takes several levels in Badass]], Akainu remains a standout example of {{Badass}}]].

* ''ScottPilgrim''. At first it seems like only a few people can really fight, but it becomes pretty clear that almost every minor character or random background extra could probably throw down with some bizarre fighting style or weapon if sufficiently provoked.

** On the other hand humans as a species are very badass. The supernatural world is very careful to not break the ExtraStrengthMasquerade. Calling in mortal governments on a large scale is called "the nuclear option" for a reason.

* {Discworld}}. If you intend to mess with someone here, make sure they're not witches, wizards, dwarves, trolls, Mrs. Cake, demons, gods, gnomes, Mrs. Cake, werewolves, vampires, pictsies, heroes, assassins, the Luggage or, last but not least, the Librarian. It's a wonder that anyone else is left in the place.

** The Marineford arc as whole was just show casing how large this trope extends outside of the main cast.

* ''OnePiece''. If you don't have have a [[TouchedByVorlons Devil Fruit]] or do not already have [[CharlesAtlasSuperpower an inhuman degree of strength]], you're most likely to be ''just'' MadeOfIron. That's [[strike:partly]] mostly the reason nobody dies in ''OnePiece'' outside flashbacks.

* The world of ''{{Dragonball}}'' where everyone is a super powered martial artist, and even the ComicRelief {{Muggle}} Mr. Satan/Hercule is a BadassNormal who can kick any human's ass.

* The world of ''{{Dragonball}}'' where everyone is a super powered martial artist.

* ''{{Predator}}'' (except for the girl) and ''{{Predators}}'' (except for the doctor... [[spoiler:[[BewareTheNiceOnes but he's someone to fear anyway]].]])
