In some fanfictions, Snape has badass moments when he outsmarts Voldemort. For example, he manages to mislead Voldemort about the location of a crucial magical artifact. He uses his Occlumency skills to his advantage, hiding his true thoughts and intentions while presenting false information in a very clever way. This not only shows his intelligence but also his courage as he risks his life to deceive the Dark Lord.
There could be a moment where Percy stands up to an unjust authority figure in the fanfiction world. He defies them with such confidence and charisma that it makes him seem like a total badass. Or perhaps he dives into a dangerous, unknown realm to save someone, showing his fearless and selfless side which is very badass.
One possible badass moment could be when bella stands up to a powerful alpha wolf. She shows no fear and uses her sharp tongue to put the wolf in its place.
In the light novel, Ayanokoji is clearly the more intelligent one. He has a unique ability to analyze situations and people's motives deeply. Ryuen often falls into Ayanokoji's traps because he doesn't fully understand Ayanokoji's true nature. Ayanokoji can anticipate Ryuen's moves and counter them effectively, while Ryuen struggles to keep up with Ayanokoji's complex thinking.
One badass moment could be when Ezra single - handedly takes on a group of stormtroopers in a narrow corridor. Using his lightsaber and the Force to deflect blaster bolts back at them, he cuts through their ranks like a hot knife through butter. Another might be when he uses his Force powers to manipulate a large ship's controls from a distance to prevent it from crashing into a rebel base.
I really like the fanfic 'Ayanokouji Kiyotaka: A New Path'. In this fanfic, Ayanokouji takes a different approach to the school's system compared to the original story. It gives a fresh perspective on his character. 'Ayanokouji's Redemption' is also a good one. It's about him making up for past mistakes or actions that he might have regretted. It's quite an emotional read. And then there's 'Ayanokouji in the Parallel World' where he is placed in a different world and has to adapt and use his wits to survive, which is a really cool concept.
When Ayanokoji says 'I'll use any means necessary to achieve my goal', it reveals his somewhat ruthless side. He is not bound by conventional moralities when it comes to reaching his objectives. In the light novel, this could be a result of the cut - throat environment he is in. However, it also makes him a complex character as readers are left to question whether his actions are justifiable or not.
