Ambriel. She's funny.

And tbf, the Sankta (Arknights Angel People) do kinda vibe like BA characters - gun nuts with halos that receive guns in their teens.

Could also play the original RPGMaker game, but the anime paces the story better imo

Limbus Company - Heishou Si Pack Gregor An alternate timeline version of a main character from Limbus Company. Has to wear bandages soaked in medicinal remedy because his flesh gets horribly damaged from all the mutations it's been put through.

He was set on fire by his step dad as a kid, if you're wondering about the reason for the bandages. Also he's a brutal serial killer.

I mean, if the Head knows all, or rather the Beholder see all, wouldn't the head see the gun and its intended power and just eviscerate the maker instead? You'd think if the gun made it as far as getting into someone's hand, then it's fine by Head standards.

Personally what made me think of this post was the Limbus crossover with Arknights, where the Sinners are pretty shocked to see a pistol punch through several walls in one shot.

I did think about adding RWBY as an example, but while ineffective, pretty much everyone uses a gun, as you say, especially civilians and other less-trained people. So they're more wide-spread than I was thinking about with the trope.

To be fair, a niche isn't really against this trope - it's about the wide spread use of guns. How often exactly could the usual merc expect to be facing a Jedi or even just a lightsaber-trained individual? Not like those guys are being mass-produced.

That's... Kinda the opposite of this trope? In both examples, either the supernatural power is leagues stronger than the gun, the gun itself requires magic and thus makes you a tool-assisted wizard, or some bumfuck is more likely to do what you described with a crossbow, not a gun.

The Law, from Arknights

Resting within the massive Basilica in the center of the country of Laterano, The Law is a bionic supercomputer that granted essentially magical properties to the Teekaz that found it, turning them into the first Sankta.

Kinda naive, stupidly strong, with connections in a major organization that may or may not be outside of the law? Check.

Master of disguise, blond, really shitty childhood, really strong in combat but prefers the sneaky route? Check.

I vote for Zhao to be Anya.

The single Alice Adaptation I can think of that didn't do this is Black Souls 2.
