Tsunade - Naruto
[ranking: 5]
While there are a lot of badass women in Naruto, the most powerful is probably Tsunade. Not only does she have super strength so incredible that she was able to split the ground with a single finger, she also has impeccable chakra (energy) control, which he can use to perform Lightning, Fire, Water, Earth, and Yin and Yang based jutsu (techniques). This means that she has complete control over the elements and her own spiritual energy. She's so powerful that her attacks can even penetrate Susano-o, which is supposed to be an impenetrable defense.
That's not all - Tsunade is also a world-class healer who can not only cure just about any disease or injury in existence, but can also alter her appearance so that she appears eternally youthful. Tsunade is one shinobi you don't want to mess with.

Kanade Tachibana - Angel Beats
[ranking: 10]
The last thing that anyone in the world of Angel Beats wants to hear is Kanade Tachibana's sweet little voice saying "hand sonic." When they hear that, they know they're going down. Kanade's job is to help smooth over the personal issues of the denizens of the afterlife, but after they declare war on her, she has to defend herself. To do so, she develops an array of superhuman abilities.

She can also distort images, create painful high-frequency sound waves, create clones of herself, absorb those clones, sprout angel wings, create a drill-like blue light that destroys everything in its path, and more.

Ryuko Matoi - Kill La Kill
[ranking: 9]
At the beginning of Kill la Kill, Ryuko Matoi doesn't know she has any special powers. Once she joins up with Senketsu, a sentient school uniform made with life fibers, a nearly immortal life form from space, she discovers her immense potential to kick butt. Later, it turns out that Ryuko doesn't actually need Senketsu to defeat her enemies - she herself is partially composed of life fibers.
These fibers not only grant her superhuman strength, they also allow her to easily heal even the most grievous of wounds.

Nana Shimura - My Hero Academia
[ranking: 3]
It's hard to imagine that All Might of My Hero Academia ever had a mentor - he has such a powerful presence that it seems like he had to have come to it on his own. But All Might got both his powers and his heroic attitude from Nana Shimura, the seventh inheritor of One For All.
The power allows its users to stockpile their power, which allows for super strength, super speed, and other incredible abilities - but unless the user is physically strong enough to withstand it, the strain can tear the user apart. Nana boasts the same incredible strength as her protege All Might.
Saki Hanajima - Fruits Basket
[ranking: 14]
Fruits Basket isn't exactly known for its warrior princesses, but Saki Hanajima actually has some pretty terrifying powers worth mentioning. She can detect "electric waves" which carry people's thoughts, so she's a mind reader. Besides that, she can also emit "poison waves" and put curses on people - she accidentally killed one of her classmates this way.
