Is it any surprise that Whitebeard's name is on this list? Well, I'm pretty sure that anyone who's seen One Piece can attest to the fact that Edward Newgate is the most powerful character in the entire series, and will certainly give anyone in the show a run for their money.
The Battle of Maniford is one of the most epic moments in One Piece, and it's easy to say that Whitebeard is one of the major reasons why this arc was all the more special.
Once a major part of Gotei 13, Aizen perhaps has the most memorable heel turns of all time in anime history. He definitely earns a spot on this list with his impressive Bankai that not many can overcome.
There's a reason why he was chosen to be the Seventh Hokage after all — his incredible powers means that the villagers find themselves safe in the arms of this oddly charismatic character.
Ending lives with a smile on his face, Misogi's latest Minus power was All Fiction , which allowed him to straight up deny certain aspects of reality to fit his twisted mindset. It's incredibly powerful, to the point where Misogi himself needed to think twice before using this power.
My Hero Academia is the newest shōnen anime to have taken over the Western world by storm, and for good reason — the unique spin on the concept of superheroes is equal parts familiar and enticing, making for a highly entertaining show indeed.
One of the major reasons why this show was so popular was because of the protagonist, Kenshiro.
Although it could certainly be argued that Zeno is the strongest character in Dragon Ball, there's a big difference between strength and power. Sure, Zeno could erase all of existence with the snap of his tiny little fingers, but, given his small stature, he likely wouldn't fare all that well in a fistfight. Goku, on the other hand, is in his element in such surroundings .
Tetsuo serves as the main antagonist in Akira, despite having once been the hero's best friend. His psychic power, once fully awakened, proves to be far too much for him to be able to control, leading to a series of psychic explosions that threaten to destroy the entire universe. Thankfully, he's pulled into an alternate dimension by Akira before catastrophe can strike.
The Misfit of Demon King Academy anime may be fairly new when compared to some of the other popular anime series that have made their way west, but its main protagonist Anos has existed for more than 2,000 years. He's a reincarnation of the first and most powerful Demon King, which brings with it quite a few useful combat-related perks and benefits.
Though Kaguya initially uses these abilities to protect her former clan and her sons, she's eventually consumed by the power, much like the Chakra fruit was once consumed by her. After her heart has been lost to darkness, she uses her ability to read and manipulate minds almost exclusively for immoral acts; causing untold pain and destruction.
Being the Son of the Soul King, Yhwach was blessed with a number of unique powers; most notably the ability to distribute parts of his soul to other living beings simply by touching them. By doing so, he was able to have people cultivate new powers and abilities for him, which he was then able to reclaim and use against his enemies.
Tom loves adventure games and RPGs, but is also partial to a spot of FIFA from time to time.
Amouranth switched gears from her usual hot tub and ASMR streams to join in with celebrating Twitch's newly introduced IRL category.
18 WHITEBEARD. In One Piece, Edward Newgate, aka Whitebeard, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, is hailed as the strongest man in the world. The first time we saw him on screen, we knew he’d be a powerhouse. His stature is imposing and his scars tell a tale of the countless battles he survived.
When he transforms, he retains his intelligence and military training making him that much more dangerous. The reason that he doesn’t make it higher on this list, is because he can’t always rely on his Titan form. To transform, he needs to physically injure himself. Characters in the manga and anime have gotten around this problem by tying his hands together and gagging him. There is no doubt that Titan Eren is ridiculously powerful, but his human form would be crushed by anyone else on this list.
However, after Shinichi is attacked and almost killed by another alien, Migi disperses 30% of his body into Shinichi’s. This causes Shinichi to develop powers similar to the parasites. He gains enhanced strength, speed, durability and vastly improved mental faculties. By himself, he may not be much of a fighter, but after contracting alien powers he’s many times stronger than a normal human. Not to mention Migi is incredibly smart, and is a combat strategist for the two. This allows them to take out enemies much stronger than themselves, such as the practically invincible Gotou.
He may be low on our list, but don’t underestimate this red haired, ex-hitokiri from the Rurouni Kenshin series. Despite his small stature, he is regarded as one of the most powerful and legendary swordsmen to ever exist. After slaughtering countless people during the Meiji Revolution, Kenshin hung up his blade, vowing to never kill again. He travels around Japan as a rurouni, a wandering, masterless samurai, seeking redemption for the lives he’s taken. Kenshin wields a Sakabato as his weapon of choice, a katana with the blade forged on the opposite side, making it a poor fit for killing.
While in the hospital recovering, government officials discover that Tetsuo possesses vast psychic capabilities, similar to the esper Akira, who’s power destroyed Japan 31 years earlier. After unlocking his abilities, Tetsuo has a vast array of telekinetic powers. He can fly, generate force fields so he can breathe in space, bend light, levitate objects and channel his telekinesis into powerful energy blasts.
It’s violent and utterly devastating. But terrible circumstances always lead to interesting heroes, and Shinichi Izumi is one of the most unique in anime history. In this series, human bodies are taken over by parasitic aliens that feast on human flesh.
Yes, the Grand Priest from Dragon Ball Super is incredibly powerful, but until he throws down, we have to leave him off the list. That being said, we present to you, for the first time ever, the 25 most powerful anime characters ever ranked from the least to the most powerful.
People watch and like Japanese animation because of its specific artistic approach, the animation, the characters, and the themes that anime shows tackle. There is everything there, from bizarre to epic, and that applies to both the plots and the characters.
Sakura Haruno, whose current name is Sakura Uchiha, is a Jōnin from Konohagakure, she was the female member of Team 7. Kishimoto created her as the heroine of the series, although he admitted that he had little perception of how an ideal heroine should be.
After “intensive” training, Saitama notices two changes: he has grown terribly strong, to the point of defeating his enemies in one fell swoop, and has lost all of his hair.
As a dragon slayer, Natsu possesses the same ability as his adoptive father, the dragon Igneel, consisting of the ability to consume and develop flames.
In order to exterminate them, Eren, accompanied by his childhood friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlelt, enlist in the Army and join the Exploration Battalion, a group of soldiers who fight against the Titans outside the walls.
His training involves ten kilometers of running, a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, a hundred squats, every day.
