Female protagonists and supporting gals were mostly reduced to one-dimensional side characters in almost all anime genres. Only a few good shonen anime dared to rise above the tropes and feature well-written female characters who actually contributed to the plot. For instance, Erza Scarlet was a prominent player in Fairy Tail who was not only slightly more potent than the MC, but also had a distinct personality and a solid backstory. Ladies in Bleach, Claymore, One Piece, and more have held out the reputation of female leads in anime with their strong characterization.However, if the fandom had to cut down to two shonen anime of the last decade, which had the best female cast, Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan would stand unchallenged. Not only are these two some of the best anime of modern times, but their take on female leads has genuinely empowered the way shonen ladies are portrayed. Instead of being bystanders or awkward love interests of the anti-hero character, female characters in these anime have inspiring roles and personalities that require no “male” touch to stand out.Mikasa had her priorities sorted from day one and had a solid moral compass. She transitioned from a probable sidekick to one of humanity’s strongest soldiers. Similarly, other AoT ladies like Historia, Ymir, Annie, Sasha, Hange, and even Gabby had exceptional character building and required no man to support their instance. These ladies were in a class of their own, whether it was Annie, who was practically more skilled than any male scout, or Hange, who was brazen enough to love Titans despite what anyone thought. All these ladies had a unique role to play in the plot, and each character went through tough times to come out on the other side.
