I saw this in the Ryona forum and figured it deserved a good mention over here, as a heads up I know like jackshit about the plot of this manga so sorry if I butcher the plot or anything but this zako is cute as all hell.
Basically, we see this assassin go from this to this all in a matter of chapters and it's fantastic.

The arc is from the manga Caterpillar and the background of the scene is that there is some type of battle is going on on a cruise ship and all the characters have/are bug like powers.
The zako in question is called Nanafushi which is like a stick bug I guess and her power is that she can turn invisible. Dressed as a sort of businesswoman assassin she is convinced that she is unstoppable. however, is easily defeated and then further humiliated.

She starts off extremely cool and collected remaining almost emotionless as she effortless battles this bigger dude.

The guy somehow manages to survive and runs to his sister.

However, using her invisibility, Nanafushi beats him there and holds the little girl at gunpoint her location unknown to both the brother and his sister.

Assuming the girl is defenseless Nanafushi becomes cocky and goes in for the kill. However, in doing so reveals herself allowing the little girl to attack and critically wound the zako.

Although shocked Nanafushi regains her composure and uses her last bargaining chip. Throwing a letter of value off the boat allows her to conceal herself once more.

Instead of Escaping Nanafushi is pissed and vows to kill girl for tricking her. As she calms down she becomes extremely overconfident in her ability to win.

However just as she finishes monologuing to herself about how unstoppable she is, she is shocked to find the girl staring directly at her (a feat that should be impossible considering she is invisible.)

Frozen with fear the assassin's confidence is instantly drained as she questions how the girl was able to find her. Turns out the girl was just guessing where Nanafushi was and by reacting to this Nanafushi revealed herself (rookie mistake).

Enraged that she has been tricked a second time, by a little girl no less, the assassin goes full-on rage mode. However, her actions are fruitless and she is absolutely demolished.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!!!!
Some time passes and we see Nanafushi bound to a chair hung precariously over The edge of the boat, the once-terrifying assassin has lost a considerable amount of her clothes and the helpless terrified embarrassed henchgirl is desperately pleading for her life as the girl and her brother interrogate her.

After this altercation, Nanafushi is never seen again.
Hey, it's made by the same guy behind Killing Bites, Shinya Murata. Nanafushi is so cute tho...but still kinda confused whether she died or not...I don't want to see a waifu material like her go to waste
