Does it ever drive you crazy that how an anime character can be so extremely powerful & have unmatchable strength as compared to others? Well, all these questions are lifted several times by a fan when they get to encounter overpowered anime characters.

Sometimes this type of character adds fun and excitement to the show while in several instances they also ruin the plot as well because of their never beatable record. But, mostly it works well if blend together nicely with a dependable cast in the series.

Still, a common question arises in many fans about these overpowered anime characters and that is, who’s the supreme leader? And, different fanbases fight among them to decide the strongest. So, seeing this type of heated discussion we also made a list of the most overpowered anime characters of all time.

Don’t get upset if you don’t see your favorite anime characters (for example Goku) in this list because only one character has been chosen from a specific series because it was necessary to include the recent one’s in the list as well so that it looks more fascinating.

That was too much explanation. Let’s get started then.

15. Shigeo Kageyama

Shigeo Kageyama best known as ‘Mob’ is one of the most silent and calm protagonists who rarely expresses himself. He is more like an introverted type of guy who rarely talks to anyone except his mentor Arataka Reigen.

Despite his plain look, Mob was born with supernatural psychic powers which enabled him to do a variety of things like possessing the quality of an esper. At a very young age, he learned that his powers were too strong to leave unchecked and would result in other people being harmed.

As a result, he decided to keep his emotions in check to prevent his powers from reaching 100% as after exceeding the certain limit Mob become so overpowered that taking him down is almost impossible.

He loses his control and turns into a devastating superhuman destroying everything in his vision. Such an insane power is the speciality of Mob and in the upcoming Season 3 of Mob Psycho 100, we will get to see more of him.

14. Koro-Sensei

Koro-sensei is one such character who outclass all the high-tech weapons and machinery by his supersonic speed of Mach 20. His superhuman senses, invisibility and immunity against almost every kind of weapon make him untouchable.

He was held responsible for creating the permanent crescent moon and also planned to destroy the earth after “teaching” Class 3-E for a year. Prior to being a teacher, he was the master assassin known as the 1st “Deity of Death” until he was betrayed by his apprentice and captured.

Later on, in an experiment conducted by his superiors, he got infused with anti-matter cells that gave him a new appearance and power transforming him into an octopus-like being with supernatural strength.

13. Sōsuke Aizen

Sōsuke Aizen serves as the main antagonist of the popular classic anime television series Bleach. Aizen set an example of what an anime villain should look like. He defined the meaning of a perfect antagonist by revolving the entire plot of Bleach around him.

Even after being with the Ichigo group, he went unnoticed for a very long time. Setting his own plots and deceptive plans to become the heavenly king always put him ahead of his enemies. He surprised the fans as well through his unbelievable reveal. And, it will not be wrong to say that he is the smartest anime character of all time.

Arguably, Aizen’s most fearsome trait is his tremendous intellect. He is well-versed in the history, strategy, and tactics of Soul Society, and is aware of specific knowledge unknown to many. Through his immense strength, he also gained some degree of immortality and his Zanpakutō powers are also unmatchable to those in the Soul Society.

12. Meruem

The league of overpowered anime characters especially the villains is incomplete without the inclusion of Meruem. His arrival in Hunter X Hunter was quite late but his frightening aura and impact on the storyline were speechless.

Meruem was the most powerful offspring of the Chimera Ant Queen. He was known as the “King” of the Chimera Ants and served as the main antagonist of the Chimera Ant arc which was the most crucial and darkest arc of the series.

Initially, Meruem was a cruel & violent leader and it was clearly reflected in his arrogant behaviour. He considered himself superior to all other forms of life and showed no mercy in killing and cannibalizing any Chimera Ant he deemed to be disrespectful.

Even Netero wasn’t able to defeat him, and had to use the nuclear bomb at last but, that was also not enough to take down a powerful being like Meruem.

11. Saiki Kusuo

From a very young age, Saiki possessed some extraordinary psychic powers that helped him throughout his teenage. Telekinesis, telepathy, clairvoyance and an array of other abilities made him apart from others.

But, Saiki never intended to show off his powers and always lived as an average student so that he get unnoticed. Still, he can’t be considered an easy opponent. In a decisive battle, Saiki will always have an upper hand on his enemies.

His brilliant intellect in addition to his supernatural powers makes him a tough opponent. If not for a comedy anime series, Saiki would have been a great superhero in the DC or Marvel comics. But, it seems like a funny story compliments his character better.

10. Alucard

Out of all the anime vampires present out there, Alucard is hailed to be the toughest one among them. In the dark world of Hellsing, Alucard is in existence for almost 600 years. During that period he registered countless deaths to his name involving both humans and vampires.

Supernatural powers are his main weapon but other than that Alucard possesses a variety of abilities like immortality, invisibility and blood & weather manipulation that gives him several attacking options against his opponents.

Alucard’s power can be estimated on the fact that his kill count is revealed to be over 3 million and it can be confirmed when he uses his special power Level 0 that enables him to summon all the souls devoured by him.

9. Giorno Giovanna

Giorno Giovanna is the most coolest character in the franchise of JoJo Bizarre Adventure. He’s also the strongest in the series as well. Having a versatile Stand like Gold Experience, Giovanna doesn’t have to care about the smallest of things.

His Stand is capable of doing a variety of things ranging from producing plants to unleashing a rapid barrage of punches. And it becomes more lethal when it takes the form of Gold Experience Requiem. Because it can turn the opponent’s willpower and actions to zero.

Whoever is killed by the Requiem will also have their death turned to zero which means “forcing them into a death loop for all eternity”. And, that’s the biggest reason why it is impossible to count the number of kills by Giovanna. Hence, he’s considered to be the anime character with the highest kill count.

8. Urek Mazino

In the vast realm of the Tower of God, there is an abundance of strong characters with great abilities and skills. But, there are very few who behold the power to outclass even the strongest in the Tower and Urek is one such character.

Urepoepzino is an Irregular and is supposed to be the 4th strongest being in the Tower. After Zahard, he is the strongest active user and holds a vast amount of power & skill, easily outmatching almost everyone in agility, strength, Shinsu control, and many other fields of battle. If we get lucky, you will get to see him soon in action in Tower of God Season 2.

It took Urek only 50 years to pass every test and climb all the way up to the top of the Tower. He was recorded to be the fastest person to do so, even faster than the ruler of the tower, Zahard himself. According to some fans, Urek is on the same level as Phantaminum, who’s the strongest person in existence in the Tower.

7. Anos Voldigoad

Anos Voldigoad is the main protagonist of the fantasy anime series ‘The Misfit of Demon King Academy’. The reason why he ranks so high from all the well-known characters mentioned above is because of his unconventional magical powers.

As the anime claims itself, Anos is history’s strongest demon king who gets reincarnated after a gap of 2000 years. He starts his new life as a student and on the very first day, during the entrance test, he demonstrates his true powers to the people.

When it comes to magic there is not a single thing he doesn’t have in his arsenal. Resurrection Magic, Teleportation Magic and an array of similar magical abilities have been mastered by him. After all, he’s the Almighty Demon King and beating him by his own created methods is not possible.

6. Rimuru Tempest

Before being reincarnated into a fantasy world as a slime, Rimuru Tempest was a normal guy named Satoru Mikami who worked at a general contracting firm. At first, he was provided with normal abilities like surviving without food & water and the regeneration power.

But, as soon as, he acquired a mysterious skill ‘Predator’ Rimuru’s new life in the fantasy world began to get exciting. His new skill granted him to absorb the abilities of any being and use them for his own good.

With the help of this, he became almost invincible as Rimuru acquired everyone’s skill whom he came across and turned those abilities into his favour. Thus, making him superior in the popular isekai series.

5. Madara Uchiha

Without any debate, Madara Uchiha is the best & strongest antagonist in the entire series of Naruto. He possesses a god-like aura and his power level is phenomenal. The abilities he acquires as a Ninja is far away from all the characters in Naruto.

Madara’s vision was to put an end to the prolonged war and in order to do so he wanted to trap the entire world in a never-ending infinite dream, but he ended up killing many people to accomplish his goal.

Moreover, during the Fourth Great Ninja War, Madara single-handedly fought the entire 4th Division and ended up executing them all by using his special skills Sharingan & Rinnegan. Some fans claim that Madara wiped out over 10,000 people in his lifetime.

4. Sung Jin-Woo

The ability to level up every time enables Jin-Woo to become stronger & stronger after every battle thus, advancing him closer to becoming the most overpowered anime characters of all time. And, Solo Leveling fans know this fact very well.

Jin-Woo started as a novice guild hunter who luckily survived every guild gate he entered into. But, a horrible incident turned his life upside-down and granted him the powers to become the strongest. And, grasping this opportunity from both his hands he progressed at a very rapid speed. If Solo Leveling anime ever gets released then fans will get to see his true potential.

Currently, Sung Jin-Woo is the top national hunter of South Korea and is also the strongest in the world. His army of shadows is capable enough to take down a group of talented hunters by itself. Moreover, he is the supreme leader having the powers of a ‘Shadow Monarch’ that automatically makes him the toughest opponent of all.

3. Gojo Satoru

Jujutsu Kaisen aired just a year ago when no one was aware of the series that much. In the beginning, viewers liked the show for its dark and humorous plot. But, the anime began to top the trending charts when it introduced its most powerful character, Gojo Satoru.

Satoru Gojo is a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer and a teacher at Jujutsu Tech. In the history of the sorcery world, Gojo is supposed to be the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer ever existed and is invincible in terms of strength & power.

Initially, he belongs to the Gojo Clan which is comprised of only one person and that is, Gojo himself. He has a lot of abilities which includes Limitless Cursed Energy, Infinity, Hollow Purple, Unlimited Void and the special Six Eyes.

Apart from all these skills, he possesses great physical strength and sharp intellect that makes him the undefeatable one technically, making him the most overpowered anime character.

2. Saitama

Saitama was an average human being until he went through intense training that completely transformed him into a superhuman. He doesn’t appear to be a strong being, but his monstrous speed & strength demonstrates it all.

While other superheroes have to fight a tough and tiring battle, Saitama finishes his enemies in just a single punch. That’s all he requires. He’s so powerful that even the S-Class heroes in One Punch Man are helpless in front of him.

His presence just makes the fight look easier and in control moreover, making it hilarious as well. He’s definitely one of the most overpowered anime characters and because of that fans never miss a chance to compare him with invincible Goku. Who’s strongest between the two? This debate has no end.

1. Zeno

Grand Zeno the Omni-King is the supreme ruler of all the Multiverse and seemingly its most powerful being. Zeno, alongside Future Zeno, are the only character known to use a special skill like Erase, making them the two most powerful characters in Dragon Ball Super.

Zeno possesses the power to instantly wipe out anything (or everything) in the blink of an eye without any effort, including individual people, planets, galaxies, and even universes. And, he proved it on several occasions by destroying six of the eighteen universes after a bout of anger.

In addition to this, he also destroyed several planets because of a game he played with his future self 200 times. In short, Zeno is too much overpowered and cannot be defeated. For this reason, Zeno’s mere presence terrifies all other deities and cause them to immediately bow before him out of fear and respect.
