Amazon Brigade in Anime & Manga.
- As Idol Singers in a time where entertainment is banned, AKB0048 have to be able to defend themselves. They adhere to Thou Shalt Not Kill, though.
- The Red Tails Gang from Beelzebub are an all female gang of Japanese Delinquents known as the strongest ladies of Kanto, and for good reason too! Their leader Kunieda Aoi, nicknamed the Queen, is responsible for keeping the men's "grubby hands" off the other girls. Their weapons range from guns to baseball bats to bokken, and on one occasion, a ruler!
- The Blue Rose squad from Black Clover are largely comprised of female Magic Knights, though throwaway dialogue does indicate they have male members but only employ them as servants. They are led by Charlotte Roselei, considered to be the most beautiful woman in the Clover Kingdom.
- Harribel from Bleach heads up one of these with her all-female Fracción.
- Bubblegum Crisis: The Knight Sabers, an elite team of powered armored mercenaries, were one of the earliest examples from anime. They were Megatokyo's only line of defense against the Genom Corporation and the ever increasing threat of Boomers.
- In Chainsaw Man the story's Big Bad Ensemble are the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, who are all horsewomen.
- Justified in Claymore where the "Silver Eyed Witches" are all female. Infusing Yoma flesh into guys did not work out.
- Code Geass
- Valkyrie Squadron is a quartet of elite Knightmare pilots in service to Luciano Bradley, the Knight of Ten. However, they didn't get much screentime or any characterization before Kallen kills them all to rescue Lelouch from their and Luciano's ambush on him. They also appear in Code Geass: Oz the Reflection, where it's revealed that Leonhardt Steiner saved one of them, his fiancee Marika Soresi, before her Knightmare blew up.
- The Nightmare of Nunnally manga has The Irregulars, also known as the Britannian Special Honorary Foreign Legion.
- Cross Ange: Since most of the main characters are Norma (who are all exclusively girls), the Paramail Companies stationed at Arzenal are this, piloting their machines to combat the DRAGONs.
- Embryo, the main villain has his own group of exclusively female pilots as a Battle Harem called the Diamond Rose Knights, and they pilot his Ragnamails. Salia, Chris and Ersha join the group after Embryo buys their loyalty through good deeds, as well as Tanya and Irma, a pair of Mauve Shirts. He also intends to bring Ange, the main character, to his side since she pilots his lost Ragnamail, Villkiss. That, and his Villainous Crush towards her is much more apparent than his feelings towards the others in his Diamond Rose Knights.
- In Daphne in the Brilliant Blue, Nereids is an all-female mercenary team. The only male member is a nerdy office manager who doesn't participate in their missions.
- In Delicious in Dungeon, Shuro's party consists of a group of badass female retainers, each an elite warrior in her own right.
- Desert Rose follows the exploits of CAT's Division M, an all-female mercenary counterterrorist unit. There are also mentions of at least two other similar divisions, though this isn't an enforced mandate, since Division A is a male team.
- Don't Meddle with My Daughter!: N.U.D.E.note consists almost entirely of female officers and desk clerks; including their commander, Hanna. They originally served as Athena's support, during her days as a superheroine. Now that she's retired, they help her daughter, Clara, as she battles Deepthroat's forces.
- Mermaid Heel is a female-only guild in Fairy Tail.
- The Pandoras of Freezing are an entire branch of super-powered women enhanced specifically to fight extra-dimensional monsters.
- In Gintama, The Hyakka, Yoshiwara's law enforcement squad, is a all-female troupe of ninjas led by Tsukuyo. Briefly averted in Dekobokko arc when all its members turned into males.
- Gundam:
- The Shrike Team from Mobile Suit Victory Gundam is a squad of full-female mobile suit pilots serving the League Militaire, who are ultimately killed off towards the end of the series. The Zanscare Empire's answer to developing a full-female team is the Neneka Corps, a squad of bazooka-toting bikini girls sent to distract Uso, except the intented psychological effect backfired by sending Uso into a Heroic BSoD instead and Neneka herself received the health effect of a human body hit by a beam saber.
- The Teiwaz combatants in Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans consists of the harem of Naze Turbine, everyone of them, if not a ship crew, is a mobile suit pilot.
- Inverted by the Gjallarhorn Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet, the entire crews are pretty blonde young men, who only answer to Carta Issue and are meant to resemble McGillis Fareed.
- Asagi Caldwell, Juri Wu Nien, and Mayura Labatt are test pilots for the Astray Mobile Suits in Gundam SEED, being Mauve Shirts that occasionally have a spot in the limelight. Sadly, all of them perish in the Final Battle against the Mooks of both ZAFT and the Earth Alliance.
- Fuuun Ishin Dai Shogun: Big Bad Shigeyoshi Hitotsubashi is served by an all-female group of elite woman warriors, the Shinsengumi, as well as the already-introduced villain Houkoin. The latter is strong enough to take on the main three heroines (which include a 250 years old demon fox, a supposedly skilled ninja and a master swordswoman) on her own and win.
- Infinite Stratos: The Schwarzer Hase (German for Black Hares/Rabbits), complete with Nazi-esque uniforms and matching eyepatches. Come to think of it, just about every squad found in this series fall into this trope since the titular exoskeletons can only be used by women. The only exception is main character Ichika and the eventual (inevitable?) Battle Harem that forms around him.
- The Impact Blue team in Initial D subverts the Women Drivers trope. In Extra Stages, this shows how better they are against male drivers.
- Lyrical Nanoha
- The 6th Mobile Division of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS definitely qualifies, as an archetypal military unit in a Improbably Female Cast (although they do have three guys and a dog-man, technically.)
- The "villains" of the previous season probably qualify too, consisting of an ill girl, a female-anthropomorphized Weapon of Mass Destruction, The Three Faces of Eve, and The One Guy.
- Jail Scaglietti's "Numbers" in StrikerS count as well (no pun intended). Although that one had a rather disturbing justification: Scaglietti needed his minions to be female so that he could impregnate them with clones of himself.
- The Marriage from StrikerS Sound Stage X are an army of exploding cyborg zombies, and every single one of them is apparantly female.
- Iris creates an entire army of Iris Units in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Detonation, and every single one of them is female in appearance. Except for the one possessed by the downloaded personality of her father Phil Maxwell, who proves himself to be the real Big Bad of the story.
- Macross:
- "Uncultured" Meltrandi tend to separate themselves from male Zentraedi, forming their own all-female armies instead. Though Klan Klein and her Pixie Squadron are integrated into human society, they operate as their own elite unit.
- Fairy Squadron in Macross II, an all-female flight team led by ace pilot Sylvie Gena.
- Maken-ki!: Applies to both the student council at Tenbi Academy and the Venus Unit:
- The student council was all female, until the academy went co-ednote . Their primary task is to enforce and maintain discipline at the school, but they also protect it from external threats, such as Kamigari.
- Venus Academy is a prestigious all-girl military school for foreign exchange students, with the Venus Unit consisting of the elite among them. All of whom are high-level ability users, ranging from S to SS-ranknote .
- The three female pilots on the Martian Successor Nadesico worked as an Amazon Brigade (Amazon Flight, really) before joining the crew, and usually act as a unit while Akito or Akatsuki are off doing their own thing during the series. The ship's bridge crew is a couple of non-commissioned adjutants and one girly XO away from this trope as well.
- The titular Otome of My-Otome, although there is a Techno Babble explanation for their powers being exclusive to female virgins. While an Otome usually works alone, doing her Master's bidding, the Five Columns (who have no Master) are an actual team.
- Simeon's girl squadron in NEEDLESS, consisting of Setsuna, Mio and Kuchinashi. Don't be fooled by their cuteness.
- Amazon Lily from One Piece being a Lady Land, its warriors obviously qualify. They are called the Kuja Pirates, and consist of the most powerful warriors of the island. Most of the Kuja Pirates are also very beautiful, as the Kuja believe strength is beauty; appropriately, their captain Boa Hancock is considered the World's Most Beautiful Woman and is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
- In Only Sense Online, Myu leads one party of Gamer Chicks in the titular game and this party is renowned in-game for its excellent teamwork and combat prowess.
- Pretty Cure is always either this or Lovely Angels. Futari wa Pretty Cure Splash★Star, notably, featured a four-woman Amazon Brigade made of two pairs of Lovely Angels.
- The Bat Family Crossover movie series Pretty Cure All Stars gathers all Pretty Cure teams together every year. The next movie will have 36 current members.
- Project Ako: Captain Napolitalita's crew consisted entirely of women, who looked and sounded like MEN! Used as the punchline at the end of the first film, as they were the seemingly unstoppable alien menace that had smashed through Earth's defenses - only to be inadvertently thwarted by a pair of feuding highschool girls.
- Sailor Moon and her Sailor Senshi, the Magical Girl Warrior rulers of their respective celestial bodies, as well as many Evil Counterpart teams with parallel power sets that double as Dark Magical Girl Quirky Miniboss Squads for their respective arc Big Bad, whether the Black Moon family's Ayakashi Sisters, the Death Busters' Witches 5, the Dead Moon Circus' Amazoness Quartet, or Shadow Galactica's Sailor Animamates. Sailor Moon Crystal even references it in the Theme Song: "We're not weak girls/Who need men's protection". And Sailor Mars and Venus also even said "We do not need man" in the manga. (This is to show them abandon to court and focused on soldier's responsibility.)
- In Sekirei, any group with multiple Sekirei is this by default. Most noteworthy are Minato's Battle Harem, Sanada of the West's team of three, and the Discipline Squad, while the other two major groups (the South and the East) don't function as units to the same degree. The first incarnation of the Discipline Squad remains legendary for their strength, as well as having been the one version to include The One Guy.
- The characters in Simoun are technically "maidens" lacking a permanent sex, but they look the part.
- In Sound of the Sky, the Helvetian Army fields all-female tank crews, the main characters being the 1121st tank platoon.
- The 501st Joint Fighter Wing, a.k.a. the Strike Witches. They're reportedly "inspired by" the Real Life WWII Night Witches (see below), and the character of Sanya Litvyak is even "based on" Lilya Litvyak.
- The Treue (German for "loyalty") Unit in Super Robot Wars Original Generation, and it's not just "coincidence" like many others; the unit is, for some reason, for females only. Note: these three are all wiped out over the course of their respective series' the Gundam teams get killed, while as an enemy unit in the game, you take out the Treue unit yourself, save for one known pilot, who later joins your squad.
- Near the end of Tokyo ESP Rinka, Nadja, Kobushi, Kozuki, and Minami form one in one huge Enemy Mine to take on ARES. It's as badass as it sounds.
- In the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, many female duelists have either mostly female monsters or monsters that make their decks look feminine.
- Mai Kujaku is a prime example, who uses both Harpies and Amazoness monsters. The Harpies might be the Trope Codifier for the franchise, since this archetype has Taken a Level in Badass for several years and has become a strong meta archetype.
- Anzu uses mostly female monsters or angelic creatures. The monster Maha Vailo, which she uses in the virtual world, has an Ambiguous Gender.
- Rebecca's second deck includes a lot of female monsters, but she mixes them with Dragon-Type cards as well.
- Siegfried uses a Valkyrie deck and even his three Permanent Spell Cards are based off goddesses.
- Asuka's Cyber Girl deck is Dance Battler-themed, most notably ballerinas.
- Rei's first deck plays it straight. Subverted later with her second and third deck.
- Tania uses an Amazoness Deck and she beats Misawa several times before she is defeated by Judai.
- Subverted with Aki. She only has a few female looking monsters, and the majority of her monsters are monstrous Plant-Type monsters.
- Carly uses a Fortune Fairy deck, which is made of weak, cute fairies. After becoming a Dark Signer, her monsters evolve to Fortune Ladies, which become stronger for each Level they have and their Levels increase each turn.
- Misty uses a Reptilliane deck, but rather than having sexy women, her deck consists of creepy female snake-people dressed in dresses who tend to look more beastly than human.
- Sherry uses a knight-themed deck which contains Action Girls who are based of Joan of Arc.
- Kotori's deck is based of Fairy-Types, notably ones that resemble cheerleaders.
- Cathy's deck is based of Cat Girls and cats.
- While Rio's Main Decks includes only ice birds, her Extra Deck has only humanoid female monsters.
- Droite's deck is based of butterfly women.
- Yuzu uses a Melodious deck which contains female Fairy-Type monsters based on musicians.
- Serena uses a Lunalight deck which contains female Beast-Warrior-Type monsters. Her deck shares some parallels to Sailor Moon.
- Ruri uses a Lyrilusc deck, which consists of bird-like girls.
- Mieru uses a Sibyll deck, which are all female monsters with a fortune telling theme.
- Ayu's deck is based of fish ladies.
- Gloria and Grace Tyler use an Amazoness deck too.
- Aoi uses a Trickstar deck, which are idol-based fairies.
- Emma uses an Altergeist deck, which are spell-casters that are based on various female ghosts in mythologies, though rather monstrous looking.
- In Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs the Demon Slaying Ninjas are all women.
