The most I can think of is Maria Holic, Maria more then a few times gets seductive (flirty) and to the main is definetly an attack. Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu has had some with exploding nosebleeds.

Plus you have harem shows like Rosario + Vampire, Kanokon and Omamari Himari where the girls fight over the guy by being seductive.

Well, funny you mentioned Bleach. In episode 214, spoiler[the lesbian girl attacked the beautiful Arrancar who was head of the fortress by using her erotic attacks.] Not seduction per se, but something close to it.

I'm sure that there are a few, and if you wander into hentai territory more than a few.

Off the top of my head there are at least a couple ninja ladies in Basilisk who use it as part of, or a main component of their deadliest attacks. Okoi seduces a man so spoiler[her super sticky skin will bond to his, allowing her to absorb her enemy] and Kagerou, spoiler[whose breathe becomes poisonous when she is aroused.]

Have you ever seen My-Hime? Nao spoiler[pretends to whore herself out to lure old men who like little girls so she can attack them.] It's an ingenius little system, when you think about it, she's like what, fifteen? And in the same show Nao gets spoiler[Mikoto] to join her, and she's not so good at it.

I can't think of any others, but I tend to stay away from most action shows, so I'm sure they are out there.

In Tenjo Tenge, Asshat has a "skill" called "Pretty Boy Flash" which is supposed to seduce all female opponents into submission or...something...

spoiler[And shockingly enough, it actually works later on as he has an army of chicks who fight for him.]

In Ninja Scroll, spoiler[the female main character has a poisoned body, so she kills anyone she touches, which includes having sex with her. She "uses" that to kill the guy with the stone skin, who would obviously be invulnerable otherwise.]

Labbes, I hate to disagree with you but, spoiler[she wasn't using sex as a weapon she was being raped. It just so happened that having the sex was killing him.] As such I don't consider that as an "attack".

I was thinking of how I should word it (that's why I wrote "uses"), but ultimately, spoiler[she uses it as an attack later on, doesn't she? And one can ponder about whether she favored being raped and killing the guy over getting killed, but that's hardly what Ninja Scroll was about.]
It's been some time since I have seen it, but that's the impression it made on me.

In Outlaw Star, the (female) captain of the Unten Seven. We get very few details about her - or her combat style (when she's being serious) - but during the "Maze of Despair" episode we got some hints. Under orders to stop the protagonist, she spoiler[stalemated Gene Starwind (protagonist) with an "unbreakable" defense, and as a "consolation prize" offered to spend the rest of the day with him however he wanted ("we could have some fun together")]. And - according to the opening monolgue about the Unten 7 - no man has ever survived a night in her bed.

Again, however, we never see her fight "seriously", and - thanks to an impatient Gene and a spoiler[caster shell attack that generated an artificial black hole] - we never will.

Not sure it counts, but in a tame way, Naruto using that Sexy Jutsu.

No no, Sexy no Jutsu definitely counts, and Harem no Jutsu is even better.

But the best of all is Oiroke: Otokonoko Dōshi no Jutsu! I'll never forgive VIZ for removing it from the American release of the manga. Evil or Very Mad

Basilisk. Theres a woman who kills by draining blood through skin contact and another who has poison breath during arousal. Too bad the animation was piss poor. The usual for Gonzo.

Well, the Amazon Trio in Sailor Moon Super S based their evil-of-the-day schemes around stalking somebody, romancing them, then stealing their dreams, each member with their own preference [FishEyes liked dudes, Tigers Eye liked ladies, and Hawk's Eye was into older ladies, making him the bishonen of choice for anime fangirls who are also cougars I guess].

Then over in X-men, there was early 2000's character Stacy X, who had superpowered pheromones and worked at a mutant brothel [a similar power was also used for another character named Wallflower, though her pheromones influenced all emotions, not just the sexy ones]
