Summary
- Anime assassins are skilled killers, often women, capable of wreaking havoc with precision.
- Unique abilities like turning bodies into traps or blood manipulation make these assassins deadly.
- Assassins like Roberta and Akame are ruthless and unstoppable, with skills that make them feared.
There’s no cooler character in an anime than an assassin who takes payment for taking lives. In numerous anime, some cold-hearted individuals make a living by eliminating targets for anyone with enough money to make it worth their while. Sometimes, these individuals belong to secret organizations and do it for honor rather than payment. At the same time, on rare occasions, there can be some coercion involved as the person was groomed from birth to be a weapon.
Regardless of their origin, the assassins that appear in anime are not to be trifled with, and some can bring down entire nations with one quick slice. Throughout anime, the majority of the best assassins are women who become the most deadly operatives in their field.
