Top 10 Most Powerful Anime Characters According To Japanese Fans

Published by Gintoki on

The world of anime is extensively vast and is growing exponentially every single day. With each anime coming to the screens, the number of new characters is also increasing and so does the verbal debate of “Who is the strongest?” Certainly, it’s almost impossible to determine which character is stronger than the other, however, the fans residing in Japan have decided on the most powerful anime characters.

Since a lot of anime air every year, it becomes pretty hard to stick with the same set of favorites. The common courtesy of choosing which characters are stronger than other, or who would win in a fight becomes a heated discussion. Some of the powerful anime characters have bold power sets, while others are physically & mentally strong.

These different approaches to heroes and villains create a vast array of the strongest anime characters. And, in today’s article, we’ll take a look at some of the most powerful anime characters according to Japanese fans. So, without any further ado let’s get started.

10. Saiki Kusuo – Disastrous Life Of Saiki K

Saiki Kusuo is one of the most joyous and strongest introverted characters in the anime universe, but in general, he doesn’t like any of it. Being the inheritor of psychic power from a young age, Saiki possesses all kinds of abilities ranging from telekinesis to clairvoyance. However, the downside of his powers is that it’s extremely uncontrollable and can cause catastrophic events if precautions aren’t taken.

As a result, he has to wear special gloves if he doesn’t want to know the past of everything he touches, he wears special glasses to avoid turning everybody around him into stone and random objects explode when he sneezes. The two antennas on his head are for controlling his limitless powers so that he wouldn’t accidentally destroy the entire planet while sleeping. If none of the restrictions will be there, Saiki is like a walking atomic bomb.

9. Tatsuya Shiba – Irregular At Magic High School

In The Irregular At Magic High School, Tatsuya Shiba originally becomes a student at First High School as a Weed. Because Tatsuya Shiba scores poorly on his entrance exam, he is found to be magically inept and is initially sorted into the ‘Second Class’. This leads others to underestimate him but, all are proved abruptly wrong after finding Tatsuya stupidly strong.

In reality, he is born a specialized magician, excelling at various skills including Decomposition, Regrowth, and Elemental Sight. He has unique magic skills that surpass just about everyone else. He also excels at ninjutsu and specializes in combat and assassinations. Tatsuya is so powerful that saying he wasn’t good enough to make it in the ‘First Class’ is laughable.

8. Reinhard Van Astrea – Re:Zero

Reinhard van Astrea is the most powerful swordsman in the Re:Zero universe and possesses the power to bring down a house with a single swing of his sword. Good thing is that he is not an evil person, otherwise he can bestow hell upon anyone. And, there are two reasons which make the current Sword Saint so powerful.

First, he can get all the divine protections, including the Wind Catcher and the Phoenix, from other people if he wants. The Phoenix’s divine protection allows Reinhard to come back to life even if he dies. Second, Reinhard is very well-liked by spirits, as he is able to heal himself when he is injured. With that much power, it would be truly foolish to challenge Reinhard to a fight.

7. Makoto Kyogoku – Detective Conan

Makoto is depicted as one of the most powerful anime characters and teenage martial artists throughout the whole series. In reference to his incredible ability, he is nicknamed the “Prince of Kicks”. Even his kick alone can break the enemy’s sword into two. The people who have suffered from his attacks are usually depicted with severe injuries, such as bleeding or losing some teeth.

Many often pass out or become unable to move. As a skilled and well-trained martial artist, Makoto is fast and agile. His observational skills and quick reaction time enable him to dodge a bullet and block sword slashes. He can bring down a building pillar by repeatedly kicking and punching it. He also seems completely immune to pain, dismissing a knife sticking in his arm as nothing too significant.

6. Anos Voldigoad – Misfit of Demon King Academy

Anos Voldigoad is the main protagonist of the fantasy anime series “The Misfit of Demon King Academy”. Just like any other series, magical cast & spells are the core part of this show with the addition of an unconventionally supreme mage as its protagonist. During the Mythical Age, he was infamously known as the Demon King of Tyranny, for his immense power and cruelty towards his enemies.

Anos is history’s strongest demon king who starts his life as a student once again after getting reincarnated. Being the Almighty Demon King, Anos has an array of magical abilities in his arsenal that even the strongest ones fear of him. His powers range from resurrection magic to teleportation magic and beating him by his own created methods is almost impossible.

5. Goku – Dragon Ball

Goku is well-known in the anime community for his power, after all, he is one of the strongest mortal warriors in the multiverse of Dragon Ball, often referred to as the most powerful and fittest warrior in Universe 7. Originally, he was sent to destroy Earth as an infant but a head injury at an early age altered his memory, allowing him to grow up as the Earth’s greatest defender.

Through years of training, Goku has acquired an array of different abilities which makes him a tough opponent in a battle. Doesn’t matter what his new Super Saiyan form is, he always looks cool and extremely overpowered. His “Ultra Instinct” form is even more dynamic which makes him the most powerful being and close to invincible.

4. Zeno – Dragon Ball

Grand Zeno the Omni-King is the supreme ruler of all the Multiverse and seemingly its most powerful being. Zeno possesses the power to instantly wipe out anything in the blink of an eye without any effort, including individual people, planets, galaxies, and even universes. And, has done it occasionally 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 overpowered and cannot be defeated. For this reason, Zeno’s mere presence terrifies all other deities and causes them to immediately bow before him out of fear and respect.

3. Saitama – One Punch Man

Carrying the name of the series proudly, Saitama was initially an average human being until he went through intense training which completely transformed him into a superhuman. He doesn’t appear to be strong and isn’t technically immortal, but nothing he’s encountered so far has come anywhere close to bothering him.

Saitama doesn’t need to sweat too much to beat his enemy as all it takes for him is “a single punch”. So, he’s unlikely to get taken out in the midst of battle, and out of boredom he never uses his full strength. He is not just an overpowered anime character but is also, one of the fastest anime characters in the universe and his physical ability is unmatched.

2. Levi Ackerman – Attack On Titan

“Humanity’s strongest soldier”, and “Mighty Hero”, are some of the widely used nicknames given to the current squad captain of the Survey Corps, Levi Ackerman. However, he is a quiet character who rarely shows emotions and has a tenancy to be blunt in his speech. He thinks before he acts and is far more rational than his fellow comrades.

But, his introverted nature doesn’t describe his potential strength. As one of the powerful anime characters, he has demonstrated his swordsman skills several times in the series and has proved his worth on different occasions. Even the Beast Titan, who managed to wipe out the majority of the Survey Corps and cause chaos to Paradis Island, is no match for Levi Ackerman.

1. Gojo Satoru – Jujutsu Kaisen

Satoru Gojo, the handsome and stylish guy, is a Special Grade Jujutsu Sorcerer and a teacher at Jujutsu Tech. In the history of the sorcery world, Gojo is recognized as the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer ever existed and is invincible in terms of strength & power. Simply put, Gojo is one of the few anime characters who are impossible to kill as his enemies hardly get the chance to even touch him.

Gojo acquires a lot of abilities which include limitless cursed energy, infinity, Hollow purple, and unlimited void but the most notable one is his “Six Eyes”. The Six Eyes allows Gojo to utilize his Limitless technique to its fullest extent. By using his eyes to redefine reality, Gojo can distort time and space within the confines of a pocket universe. Gojo wields this godlike ability skillfully which makes him an extremely powerful anime character.
