Strength and abilities are often seen as a benchmark to determine the physical prowess of an anime character. While many of them are seasoned warriors, others are experienced fighters however, there is a special category of characters that stands out – the strongest kids in anime.

From the fearless and determined Son Gohan, who harnesses the power of Ki, to the prodigious strategist and engineer Child Emperor from “One Punch Man”, these pint-sized warriors defy the odds when it comes to unleashing raw power. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the most powerful kids in anime. So, without any further ado, let’s get started.

10. Kabane Kusaka – Kemono Jihen

Kabane Kusaka is a 13-year-old kid who is a half-Khoular and half-human boasting supernatural strength. Decapitating and ripping creatures apart with his bare hands despite his smaller size is child’s play for him, though he’s literally a child!

Being an immortal being, Kabane can regrow body parts that have been ripped off. Most of the time, he avoids killing whenever possible, however, he doesn’t hesitate to take life in self-defense or for the safety of his friends.

9. Shō Kusakabe – Fire Force

The younger brother of Shinra Kusakabe, Shō is a Fourth Generation pyrokinetic, and the Commander of the Knights of the Ashen Flame. As a baby, he awoke the Adolla Burst granting him the ability to stop time which led him to become the Third Pillar.

On top of that, Shō is an extremely quick combatant regardless of his abilities. He is a very skilled swordsman and can move at relatively high speeds, making him a truly formidable foe even against advanced-age people.

8. Hibana Daida – Deadman Wonderland

The cruel prison of Deadman Wonderland is overrun by some high-profile criminals, but Hibana is in a different class. This pretty young girl survived the prison’s brutal reform program at the mere age of seven. She was ranked as one of the worst and most savage inmates, giving her the title of “Undertaker”.

Before coming to the prison, Hibana was a psychopath who brutally murdered a student and everyone else in her class just over flipping her skirt. She is an expert in torture and has shown a great amount of strength, being able to wield a large sectioned sword with little restrictions.

7. Child Emperor – One Punch Man

Child Emperor looks like a sweet little kid but don’t underrate him! He’s ranked as the fifth strongest among all the S-ranked heroes despite being only 10 years old. Unlike other heroes, Child Emperor’s strength lies in his sharp intellect, allowing him to plan ahead to ensure victory on the battlefield.

Technology and gadgets are his forte which he uses to create efficient fighting tools that help in combat. The physical strength of Child Emperor is also pretty remarkable in fact, it’s greater than a A-Class hero which adds up to his brainpower making him one of the strongest kids in anime.

6. Tet – No Game No Life

The One True God of the isekai world of “No Game No Life”, Tet is a 6000-year-old being with an appearance of a normal human child. Being the strongest of the Old Deus,
Tet boasts multiple skills and abilities including teleportation, interdimensional travel, and reality warping.

As one of the few anime characters with heterochromia and being the God of Play, Tet is incredibly skilled at games which is a must in the original setting. His unimaginably vast amount of magical power and ample affinity for magic makes him an incredibly powerful being.

5. Son Gohan – Dragon Ball Z

Dragon Ball franchise is a manufacturing hub of super-strong children and the strongest of them all is Gohan. He was a prodigy back when he was just 4 years old, during the battle against Raditz where he outclassed the combined power level of Goku and Piccolo at their fullest.

In the Cell Saga, Gohan effortlessly killed each of the Cell Juniors with a single blow and then went on to transform into his Super Saiyan 2 form while being only 10 years old at that time. Gohan’s innate talent and natural potential exceed even his own father, making him a powerful mortal warrior in Universe 7.

4. Muichiro Tokito – Demon Slayer

Muichiro Tokito is the youngest Hashira in Demon Slayer Corps history and he achieved this feat at the age of 14. He is noted to be incredibly talented despite his young age, attaining his Hashira status after a mere two months of training, something only accomplished by Gyomei Himejima, the strongest current-generation Hashira.

Excluding his age experience, Muichiro is a master swordsman with incredible strength, speed, and endurance powered by his Mist Breathing. Besides, he is the only known Hashira to defeat an Upper-Rank solely eventually giving him the title of one of the strongest characters in Demon Slayer.

3. Alluka Zoldyck – Hunter × Hunter

In the strange universe of “Hunter × Hunter”, Alluka is deemed to be one of the strongest kids in anime, all thanks to her weirdly odd ability. Out of all the Zoldyck siblings, Alluka is potentially the inferior one in terms of intellect, strength, and physical endurance however, in reality, she possesses god-like abilities.

In general, the powers of Nen can be utilized to a limit but in Alluka’s case, it is infinite. Her ability offers an advanced version of Nen with a cosmic trigger to bring forth her powers through a shift in her personality. However, Alluka hardly has any control over her powers allowing her and she becomes a very dangerous being in her altered personality.

2. Pride – Fullmetal Alchemist

Pride is one of the deadliest anime children one can come across. Although he inhabits the body of a child named Selim Bradley, Pride is actually the oldest and strongest Homunculus created by Father. He appears to be a sweet, polite little boy who shows respect for his elders but inevitably, he is a danger alert.

All of his generous act vanishes in the air when he takes the form of monstrous Pride, a living shadow with rows of sharp teeth. He sees himself as superior to mankind, and torturing and enslaving them is a part of his amusement. The more innocent his child form looks, the more amoral Pride is in real and he inexplicably enjoys his life as a kid.

1. Shigeo Kageyama – Mob Psycho 100

Shigeo Kageyama, best known as Mob, is one of the strongest kids in anime and he’s just 14 years old. At a very early age, Mob came to know about his phenomenal psychic powers enabling him to do a variety of things. But soon he realized that his powers are too strong to leave unchecked.

He has a plethora of abilities at his disposal ranging, including telekinesis, psychic energy absorption, transference, and astral projection. Only a handful of characters can hold their own against Mob in a fight and is almost impossible to be taken down in his enhanced power state.
