Though Eren is far from useless while in his human form, it's not until he transforms that he really becomes deadly. The ability to mutate into an unstoppable fifteen-foot Titan is an incredibly useful one to have up one's sleeve, and it's one that comes to his rescue time and time again throughout Attack on Titan.
Naruto may not be as strong as some of the other popular anime protagonists that are out there, but what he lacks in raw strength, he more than makes up for with technique and confidence. The once narcissistic ninja's control over the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox makes him a real force to be reckoned with, as too does Sage Mode.
Thanks to his impressive collection of souls, Alucard is more or less invincible at the beginning of Hellsing. By the series' conclusion, however, he exists both everywhere and nowhere, making it downright impossible to kill him.
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.
Naruto has come up against some powerful villains over the years, but none quite as deadly as the Rabbit Goddess, Kaguya.

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.
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.

Koro-sensei is the Head Teacher of Class 3-E at Kunugigaoka Middle School. His past is unclear, but we later learn that he was once a great assassin who had been given the title of Shinigami, which indicated his function as a powerful and formidable hitman in the whole world.
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.
To put it simply, alchemists can transform and alter matter into other matter to suit their purposes. Edward stands out among other alchemists for a number of reasons. He’s the youngest State Alchemist in history, achieving his certification by the time he was 12. This alone proves that he is a capable combatant.
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.
All-Might’s physical power is some of the greatest in anime history. However, his physical strength isn’t his only power. All-Might is called the Symbol of Peace, and even his name is a huge deterrent against crime.
However, due to the fact he has a pure heart, Akira retains his human consciousness despite gaining a whole host of demonic powers. He uses these powers to protect humanity from hordes of demonic creatures who seek humanity’s destruction. How strong do you get when you’re possessed by a demon? Pretty strong apparently, and it’s nothing like Regan MacNeil from The Exorcist. No, Devilman doesn’t spew out litres of green bile.
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.
Tetsuo Shima is the main antagonist in the 1988 Japanese cyberpunk anime film, Akira. Shotaro Kaneda and Tetsuo Shima are friends in a biker gang, until one night, Tetsuo is injured when he almost runs over a young boy on the street. 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.
By default, Puella Magi Madoka Magica’s Akemi Homura isn’t particularly formidable by the standards of this list. She can time-stop, but her fighting capabilities are limited by what she can make as well as what she can steal. What earned her a spot are the events of Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion.
Alucard is a much-used name in anime and anime-adjacent media. In Hellsing, it refers to Dracula himself. Every single vampire in the series is superhuman. However, Alucard is far beyond them, not least because he possesses a whole host of extra powers such as telekinesis, teleportation, and the ability to control that which he consumes.
Ideon is the titular mech from Space Runaway Ideon. It possesses god-like power, which makes sense because it houses a god-like force called the Ide. Exactly what happens at the end of Space Runaway Ideon is interpretable. On the low end, the Ide just punished both Earthlings and their enemies by destroying them plus a good chunk of the galaxy.
Mazinger Z didn’t quite invent the super robot genre of mecha anime. However, it did establish some of its most common tropes. In any case, the Mazinger franchise often talks about the titular mech granting someone the ability to be either a god or a demon. Something that the Infinity in Mazinger Z: Infinity showed to terrifying effect.
Later installments in the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure series feature Stands, which are psychic entities generated by Stand users. Some are straightforward. Others are much more ridiculous.
Goetia is an aggregate of 72 demons in the Fate franchise. He had to be capable of overwhelming an entire army of supernatural combatants possessing incredible superpowers. As such, Goetia possessed powers such as time travel, the ability to life-wipe the planet, and the ability to continuously revive his individual components.
Kaname Madoka didn’t do any fighting in Puella Magi Madoka Magica. However, Akemi Homura’s repeated attempts to save her by traveling back in time increased her karma again and again. On the plus side, this meant increasing Madoka’s potential as a magical girl.
