Most Badass Scene From Any Anime Character
I have yet to watch that far into the anime but so far this anime character from Bungou Stray Dogs strike me as having one of the badass scenes in the anime.
Solving A Case With Rampo Edogawa
"All's Well, That's Well For Me!" ~ Rompa's personal motto ~
From episode 5 of season 1, Atsushi was tasked with accompanying Rampo to a case. From there, Atsushi gets to experience first hand on why the armed agency shows deep respect to Rampo even if he was sceptical of Rampo's self-proclaimed great detective title and who seemed to lack of common sense.
An ability called 'Super Deduction', was used during the case, enabling Rampo to infer the truth from a crime scene with utmost detail. Activating it requires him to put on his glasses that were given to him by the director. Within a minute, he was able to solve the case and could even point out small trivia details of the relationship between the culprit and the victim.
WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!
Turns out, Rampo doesn't have an ability like the others in the armed agency. I admit that I was fooled with the special effects of the animation, but Dazai proves it to be true when he explained that he had sneakily touched Rampo's hair to nullify his ability during that time. So in the end, the whole solving the case within a minute was all due to Rampo's own observation and high intellect without any powers.
SPOILERS END HERE!
My Thoughts & Opinions
I'm sure there are better scenes out there that could be categorised as a badass scene but for my case, I labelled them differently. Or biased if you want to put it in another way. The concept of human nature and their capabilities really fascinates me more than, say, a mixed blood of a demon and human kind of a character.
Finding out the backstory to Rampo's 'powers' just seemed more believable and relatable even though it's in a fantasy setting with some added exaggerations here and there (Kinda explains why I love Gintama, LOL). Rompa's capabilities as a HUMAN BEING helped a lot in addressing to the agency's mishaps so I think his screen time moments should be given some credit as much as the other characters of the anime.
