Menace (Queen's Blade)

Menace (メナス, Menasu) is a fictional character from Hobby Japan's Queen's Blade media franchise.

[2] In the Queen's Blade Anime Menace is voiced by Yūko Gotō and by Jessica Paquet in the English dub.

[3] Menace first appeared as a character in the Queen's Blade (クイーンズブレイド, Kuīnzu Bureido) series of visual combat books published by Hobby Japan.

[4] She also appeared in the Queen's Blade: Beautiful Fighters Biographies (クイーンズブレイド美闘士列伝, Kuīnzu Bureido: Bitōshi Retsuden) series of visual books.

Her visual book in that series was titled Tome of The Ancient Princess (古代の王女の書, Kodai no Ōjo no Sho) and was released on February 15, 2008.

She once lived a life of luxury until she was betrayed by Anarista, her most trusted adviser, and died trapped in her palace as her kingdom fell into ruin.

[11] It is revealed that Menace was a princess from the ancient kingdom of Amara who died but was resurrected by the villainous Swamp Witch.

[14] Menace, the other Swamp Witch minions, and the Army of the Dead continue their attack against Leina, Risty, Elina, Claudette, and Tomoe.

While receiving oil massages from her new servants, she is suddenly announced as Claudette's opponent in the Queen's Blade Tournament.

[21] Some time after the Queen's Blade Tournament Final, Menace rebuilds the Amara Kingdom with a very small population.

[27] Menace is depicted as a young adult female with bob-cut black hair, blue eyes, and a well-toned body.

Menace wears a jeweled breastplate that reaches only midway down her bust, along with blue-and-white striped panties below a translucent cloth at her front.

[30] Due to being born in Amara, a place located in a sandy desert, Menace is accustomed to wearing less clothing.

[31] During the ending credits of the second season of Queen's Blade, Menace, Melona, and Airi sing a song called "Buddy Body."

As a result of her resurrection by the Swamp Witch, her punch emits a cursed aura that can drain her opponent's life with a single touch.

The Royal Family Headbutt involves Menace flying into the air and using her head to deliver a strong, direct blow to her opponent.

[46] The ads for Queen's Blade Limit Break featuring Menace and other characters have garnered mixed reactions.
