the Kunoichi also have a gender bonus

another bonus is the internal confict bonus as in *spoiler for bleach* like ichigo and his hollow self after winning this conflict the ninja or hero is stronger!

Actually... if I think about it correctly, just having a name doesn't mean they'll get a bonus. Plenty of movies and shows had characters with names, though they got killed first or in the beginning.

So I guess the equation has to go: name + back story = story character.

Yes I agree, but those are stronger than nameless ninjas. So they offer up how powerful the story character is example the hero punches a named ninja in the face and the named ninja flies into a tree which falls onto of him the villain says "hmm *name* he was one of my best"

I forgot to mention yesterday... I think gender bonus was already mentioned I forget.

But yeah, I've also noticed that the kunoichi are stronger then their male counterparts. Is that the gender bonus in effect? I would guess so. Other then that, unless another kunoichi is fighting them then the man will have trouble.

Kunoichi with names, back stories, trauma, with scars that have stories, powerful super skills , AND named weapons are the hardest for men. All those boosted bonuses are quite a challenge and usually mean the female will come back later for revenge when they're beaten therefore giving them the revenge bonus and probably also the new powerful never before seen powerful skill bonus. (That's a mouthful.)

Hmm, so the more skin you see the more powerful you get?
I think that naked ninja would not be the greatest of ninja.

Also, we all know all females are immune to certain attacks, I.E. Johnny Cage's Split Punch

I figured out that the worse the ninjas the cheaper they are. The cheaper they are the more you can rent. Thus it’s not really a ninja rule. It’s manly that villains are cheap bustards

And as we all know, anime is the leading authority on the facts of shinobi lore.

Kunoichi automatically gain a bonus in combat, at least pertaining to their chances of survival, due to their rarity and the possibility of a ratings drop when the otakus cease watching because of the demise of their favorite animated piece of ass. Other than that bonus, their usefulness in most cases is limited. There are exceptions to this rule, of course. The snake charmer from Ninja Scroll being slaughtered, the poison tester... which brings up another couple bonuses still:

The "Anything that sleeps with, or molests, me, dies horribly" bonus.

and

The "The hot piece of ass of the film that should've been my woman just got killed, so now I go on a fucking rampage" bonus.

Also, the "I have a tattoo on my penis" bonus. This instantly grants fame, notoriety, and power to the ninja, who, oddly by nature, should still be unknown.

.. err.. Not that I would know anything about that.... carry on.

kunoichi don't have to be limited in use, unless it's one of those things that just feature them as a added token for the fanboys -_-. But Yae is probably one of the best of Goemon's group. And anything that features a kunoichi working alone... woah! Hold on!!! I just realized something. A lot of these laws are reverse for kunoichi! The less that is known about them, the more powerful they are!

I'm not quite so sure about that.

We know a lot about Tsunade, and she could whup anyone's ass.

okay... maybe we women don't have hard and fast rules like guys do? But I'm thinking of all the "mysterious woman" assassins that totally rip stuff apart.

Or maybe just Ada Wong and some other brief recollections.
