8 ripped female anime characters of all time

Most anime tend to depict female anime characters with slender figures. However, in recent times, there are several anime that have broken the stereotype with muscular and ripped female anime characters. Such characters often catch fans' eyes as it is not every day that fans get to see such characters take center stage.

That said, the ripped female anime character trope is nothing new but has become popular throughout the years. Surprisingly, there are quite a few that are popular amongst the masses. Thus, here we list down some of the most well-known ripped female anime characters of all time.

Mirko, Star and Stripe, and 6 other ripped female anime characters

1) Maki Oze (Fire Force)

Maki Oze from Fire Force is undeniably a ripped female anime character. The reason behind her physique is the rigorous training she did while serving under Sergeant Takehisa at the time she enrolled in the Tokyo Army.

While her physique has its benefits, Maki herself has a complex over her body. She believes that it is too muscular, and not as feminine as her fellow female Fire Soldiers. Thus, whenever someone teases her, she automatically assumes that people are calling her "gorilla cyclops."

2) Mirko (My Hero Academia)

As any fan could notice, Mirko from My Hero Academia is quite ripped. The secret behind her physique is her Rabbit Quirk, which grants her incredible muscle mass in her limbs, enhancing both her strength and speed. This is also the reason why she prefers kicks in her fighting style.

Unsurprisingly, her kicks are very strong as she is capable of destroying large chunks of the ground by thumping her foot. Additionally, she can build up momentum by jumping from one spot to the next. In doing so, her strength is powerful enough to defeat Nomus with single kicks.

3) Mikasa Ackerman (Attack on Titan)

While Mikasa Ackerman's character design does not show off her physique, as fans must know, she is quite ripped as a female anime character. This was seen in the anime's second opening theme video and an OVA called "A Sudden Visitor: The Torturous Curse of Adolescence."

In the OVA, Mikasa was seen doing some physical training by herself. With that, the anime confirmed that the anime's deuteragonist was quite ripped beneath her Survey Corps uniform.

4) Star and Stripe (My Hero Academia)

While fans can have varied opinions on a character being ripped or not, no anime fan would disagree that Star and Stripe is a ripped female anime character. Star and Stripe has a well-muscle build, so much so that, she looks pretty similar to All Might in physique.

The surprising thing is that she was inspired by All Might to become a hero. While the anime never confirms this, it could be why she trained her body so well, hoping to look even a bit similar to the hero she admired.

5) Biscuit Krueger (Hunter X Hunter

Fans may remember a young blond girl when thinking of Biscuit Krueger from Hunter X Hunter. However, in reality, the female anime character is a massive and muscular woman several times the size of her preferred form.

Biscuit Krueger claims that she prefers to stay in her younger form to have her enemies underestimate her. While this trick does work, the main reason behind hiding her true form is that she hates her original appearance. As far as strength is concerned, Biscuit's nen stays relatively the same in both forms, however, she receives a tremendous boost in her true appearance.

6) Ghislaine Dedoldia (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation)

While Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation is a series with several eye-catching female anime characters, the one that stands out amongst them due to her outrageous ripped figure is Ghislaine Dedoldio.

Being from the Beast race, Ghislaine has amazing muscle composition, granting her a slender build along with rippling muscles. Her muscles were so toned that even Rudues questioned if they were real. The good thing is that, unlike other female anime characters, she does not shy away from showcasing her amazing physique.

7) Captain Mizuki (One Punch Man)

Captain Mizuki from One Punch Man is easily one of the most ripped female anime characters. She is a tall woman with a curvy yet athletic and muscular build. As for her job as a hero, she follows an athlete-like gimmick. This originates from her past as an athlete.

Being ripped herself, she greatly admires the S-Class Hero Superalloy Darkshine and takes advice from him on how to preserve her stamina. In addition, she is also shown eager to find out what kind of training he underwent to get so strong. This means that Mizuki desires to become even stronger than she is.

8) Kale (Dragon Ball Super)

While Kale from Dragon Ball Super generally has a slender figure with average height, her physique changes entirely when she enters her berserker state or transforms into her unique super saiyan form.

In her berserker state, Kale becomes thrice the size of her normal form, with huge muscles. However, in her unique super saiyan form, despite being bigger than her normal form, Kale is shown to have a much more slender and ripped figure.

These were the eight ripped female anime characters we picked as part of our list. Given that there are several such characters, we are bound to have missed out on many characters. Do comment below the ones you love the most.
