What battle shounen has the best female characters?
Nolan Stewart
Luke Young
Black Clover and Blood Blockade Battlefront.
John Williams
One Piece is pretty good with the quality of its girls' writing, honestly. They're just vastly overshadowed by the men, take a total backseat after the timeskip, and are rarely "powerful".
Good shounen ironically do not have good females.
Jason Williams
Bleach
Jaxon Rivera
Jason Robinson
What's happening to her hand?
Alexander Murphy
Fma? Women are for looking at and making babies.

Landon Barnes
Landon Butler
Bleach
Jace Roberts
it's funny how no one said DB or BnHA

Blake White
Fairy Tail girls are hot, but I wouldn't call them good characters.
Camden Allen
kitty
Ian Ramirez
I'm pretty sure the original Nami didn't have cowtits like that
David Edwards
>female
Carter Clark
She will never be topped
Parker Anderson
Dragonball
Robert White
Ika musume.
Caleb Perez
Yu Yu Hakusho, because they kept themselves out of the main characters way.
Botan was just doing her job
Keiko, while annoying, made sure not to get in trouble
Kuwabara's Sister could handle herself
Yukina didnt interrupt the story unless Kuwabara needed a power boost
Genkai was bad ass turned mentor
Mukuro was instrumental to improving Hiei
Ryan Gomez
Kill la Kill
Henry Williams
I agree, short hair Nami was the best.
Isaiah Cook
My personal choice
excellent contender, also Nonon is best girl
Bentley Lee
Chrono Crusade but only the battlenun.
Adam Robinson
We've been through this, it's Ana of Saike.
Jordan Butler
DAILY REMINDER ROBIN HASN'T HAD A SERIOUS 1v1 SINCE BEFORE Yea Forums EXISTED
Asher Howard
Nami's a nagging bitch.
Jackson Mitchell
She's smart and hot and has a head for money. I'd marry her in an instant.
John Flores
Maybe not best but good fem characters are in Soul Eater
Christopher Allen
The gun sisters are incredibly hot and would make a delicious tag team.
Henry Myers
>one piece
>good female characters
Jace Myers
They don't need to be good characters for you to want to breed them.
Josiah Richardson
What about Spandam and this guy?
Charles Mitchell
And this is exactly why 99% of female shonen characters are trash.
Leo Jones
This. Nami is an incredible power house when she does get to fight. She even got a pretty massive power up recently, and her ability as a navigator is top notch. Robin is quite literally the most important character in the entire series because she's the only one confirmed to be capable of finding Raftel. And then while Carrot isn't a real crew member she's able to blindside Zoro in her introduction and she's the only Mink that can control herself while using Sulong and she managed to take out an entire fleet of ships. Pretty much every key female character can stand as equals to the boys and I think Oda doesn't give himself enough credit for that. He always says he's bad at writing woman but he does a pretty good job at least making them all strong characters.
But One Piece cast is so massive now they kind of do all get lost in the shuffle.

>Same deformed body for all the female characters
I prefer Bleach in that aspect. It had more diversity.
Camden Myers
Christopher Long
>He always says he's bad at writing woman
No he doesn't. That's Kishimoto.
Oda only feels self conscious about his sameface and the very restricted range of female character design he finds attractive and therefore worthy of a female character in the main cast. He has no problem drawing background vaginas with a fatass and muscles with a 3 meters long neck and 4 arm joints but he'll die before he makes them important characters.
Ryan Sanchez
Meh, I have much better options for smart, hot girls in manga but actually have chill tomboy personalities who are fun to be around.
Nathan Gomez
HxH. The characters are better written in general desu, but the females stand out against other battle shonen because they are just as varied and outlandish as the males. Compared to the regular battle shonen where it'll have a varied male cast, but the female cast is much more homogenous in appearance and personality.
Jordan Gonzalez
NO COMPARISON
Zachary Hughes
God I love Fairy Tail.
William Hall
Why the fuck redraw Tabata's only good doublespread?
Lincoln Ortiz
Based.
Easton Barnes

Caleb King
They're pretty fuckable.
Dylan James

Connor Diaz
Daily reminder that there hasn't been a need for her to get serious.
Christopher Perez
First episodes Nami is great tier. The proportions have gone way out of hand now, OP women look just ridiculous.
Samuel Lee
Claymore is seinen, but still based.
Kayden Cruz
Logan Sanchez
>those bodies are not deformed
You've been looking at 2D girls for too long kiddo.
Adam Bennett
Pretty much. They look like anorexic girls with tits augmentation surgery
Mason Brown

HxH's female characters are weak compared to other battle shonen. Sakura, Robin, maybe even Rukia are more interesting than basically every female character in HxH simply because they are main characters who get significant attention and their personalities are fully fleshed out. Pakunoda, Bisky, Palm, etc. all feel like interesting and unique caricatures than fully realized characters.
Togashi's writing is overall better than other shonen so the time he does spend on female characters is interesting, but none of them are given enough attention to be called proper characters.
This may have to do with (1) having few chapters out to compare and (2) Togashi's writing style just doesn't show frivolous information about side-characters (male or female) for the purpose of fleshing them out and all main characters are male.
If Togashi wrote a female character with equal attention as Sakura, Robin or Rukia, I have no doubt she would be better than them. But he didn't.
Adam Scott
Ryder Scott
Kinda obvious response, but FMA by far.
James Roberts
Bleach. Out of a huge cast the only bad ones are Orihime, Rurichiyo, and Lirin.
Aiden Wilson
Same
Cameron Evans
I believe that Togashi manages to efficiently characterize these people to the point of them being more interesting than the vast majority of shonen females despite their lack of screentime.
>Sakura, Robin, Rukia
You listed the most primary female characters of their respective series, but even then, I'd say with certainty that the standout hunter females are better than Rukia and could give a very compelling argument for Sakura being worse. Robin is really great though. Now compare the side females of any shonen to the females of HxH and there really isn't a competition.
Landon Gomez
My dick says the Fairy Tail girls are the best.
Justin Perez
Is this a counter pasta?
Jaxson Hill
Sakura was a mistake
Alexander Young
Good taste.
I have a challenger for you.
Liam Wood
Taimanin Asagi girls are best girls.
