Anime has become a rather popular form of entertainment. Some of us grew up watching the big series — Dragon Ball, One Piece, and maybe Naruto. Streaming services allowed more people to enjoy these series daily. As discussions grew, several people raised a rather interesting question — who is the strongest anime character?

The question is more complex than you might think. You first should understand a thing or two about anime itself. Anime originated thanks to the Japanese manga series. In a way, anime allows manga to breathe some fresh air. The top strongest anime characters that had their fights limited to one or two pages now have full episodes dedicated to them. 

As more action anime emerged, more people joined the discussions, and the question of “Who is the strongest anime character?” became more relevant. Anime series like One Punch Man and Attack on Titan fueled the raging fire by adding more characters. Today, this question is as hard to answer as it was at its inception. 

Think you know what it takes to be the best of the best? Don’t know who is the strongest anime character, but want to find out? Well, stick around till the end of the post to learn more about the strength of anime characters. And after you’re done with the article, comment what you think about the characters, and upvote the ones you like the most!

Top 10 Strongest Anime Characters (According to Bored Panda Users)

So, who is the strongest anime character? Let’s find out together. Below, you’ll find the top 10 strongest anime characters that Bored Panda readers voted for the most. Since they come from some of the most famous animes, it’s not a wonder why they are in the top 10.

Son Goku, Dragon Ball

Son Goku, Dragon Ball

Despite the Dragon Ball franchise being full of powerful characters, Goku still manages to keep his crown. Goku is a Saiyan who was sent to destroy the earth when he was just a little boy. His greatest strength is his ability to battle for long periods of time without getting fatigued. He has defeated nearly every villain that threatens the earth, including Frieza. His signature move is the Kamehameha wave, which he learned from Master Roshi. Of course, he eventually outgrew this technique as he surpassed his master and almost all the other opponents he faced in combat.

Beerus, Dragon Ball Super

Beerus, Dragon Ball Super

Compared to most anime characters, Beerus is a pretty comical character. His slouching posture and sleepy cat-like demeanor make him look like he’s constantly bored and underwhelmed by everything around him. In reality, he’s just as powerful as he needs to be, so he tends not to exert himself too much in battle.

Zen-Oh, Dragon Ball Super

Zen-Oh, Dragon Ball Super

Zeno is the supreme ruler of all the multiverse. As the King of All, he has the power to instantly wipe out anything in the blink of an eye without any effort, including individual people, planets, galaxies, and universes. Despite this, Zeno does not fight. He also does not seem to possess good fighting senses compared to the other deities of the series.

Saitama, One Punch Man

Saitama, One Punch Man

Surprised? Saitama’s immeasurable strength origins are still mysterious and unclear. According to Saitama himself, after a year and a half of 100 daily push-ups, sit-ups, squats, plus 10 km daily running, he achieved his superhuman strength. So far, no enemy has been able to injure him in any way, and almost no enemy has survived a single punch from him, seemingly making him the most powerful anime character. Saitama’s enemies have given him little reason to exert himself, so it’s fair to assume he’s even stronger than his current display of strength would suggest.

Gogeta, Dragon Ball

Gogeta, Dragon Ball

The fusion character Gogeta, created by fusing Goku and Vegeta together, is regarded as one of the most powerful characters in the entire Dragon Ball franchise and might be even more potent than either Goku or Vegeta. Despite this, Gogeta’s power ends up being his own downfall as the fused Saiyan’s massive strength wears down the technique’s time limit.

Broly, Dragon Ball

Broly, Dragon Ball

Broly is a legendary Super Saiyan. A lot about him is a mystery, as he was born with an insane power level of 10,000 (the average power level of a full-grown Saiyan is anywhere between 1000-4000). His strength is almost unmatched in the Dragon Ball universe, and his fragile mental state makes him even more dangerous.

Alongside Goku, he’s easily one of the most prominent characters in the series, undergoing great character development. He’s immensely strong, and his character revolves around trying to become stronger than Goku. However, like Goku, he’s been shown to be heroic at times and will team up with the Z Fighters when major threats come their way.

According to Naruto’s creator Masashi Kishimoto, Itachi Uchiha is “the single most powerful character” of the series. Despite his past as a criminal, Itachi’s true intentions were shown to be even more complex than previously imagined and were only ever in the interest of his brother and village. Even when he was holding back, a team of jōnin was still no match for him.

What do the Strongest Anime Characters Have in Common?

So, what makes the strongest anime characters, well, the strongest? There are two ways to answer this question. Firstly, if you are looking for a quick way out — crazy-looking hair, a truly tragic past, and unhuman strength. However, there is also a longer answer that delves into more contextual things. 

The mentor plays a rather important role in the progression of the character. Sometimes, they can be moral teachers, guiding the hero or villain on a good or evil path. Other times, the teacher can take a more physical role. Teach new moves or tap into the wells of power the characters didn’t know they had. The strongest anime characters require teachers who can break them.

ADVERTISEMENT

The higher the goal — the more a character will have to grow. Sometimes, that goal can be to become the strongest. Other times, it is something more drastic. Naruto wanted to become a Hokage. Luffy wants to find the one piece. As far as there is a goal, there will always be something the characters will strive and get stronger for.

Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto

Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto

Like his brother, Sasuke is acknowledged as a natural prodigy of the Uchiha clan. He emerged from his training as a legendary shinobi able to skirmish with and even defeat members of Akatsuki. He’s regarded as one of the most powerful shinobis alive, to the point where even Orochimaru and Madara recognized his tremendous potential.

A Jonin-level shinobi, Kakashi is one of the most memorable characters in the entire series.

Escanor, Seven Deadly Sins

Escanor is renowned for gaining immense power during the day and gradually weakening with the sun’s setting, leaving him frail and submissive at night. Until midday, Escanor can only use a fraction of Sunshine’s full power, which still makes him stronger than almost any other character of the series.

FAQs About Top Strongest Anime Characters

Want more information about the characters from your beloved anime series? Want to learn about haki and how it affects power? We decided to delve into the big three anime series — One Piece, Naruto, and Dragon Balls. Learn more about the characters we think are the strongest in the series.

Who is the Strongest Anime Character in Naruto?

Kaguya Otsutsuki is the strongest character, no questions asked. Why? It took the main character, Sasuke, Kakashi, and many more characters to beat her. However, there are other interesting characters, too.

Madara is a contender for the title of the strongest human character in the series. He checks all the requirements — cool hair, superhuman power, and a tragic story. Also, the Rinnegan allows him to pull some interesting jutsu. 

However, it is Naruto and Sasuke who truly are the strongest ones. They were able to survive till the end of the Shippuden series, facing threats on a global scale. Also, in Naruto’s case, he continued the teaching of his sense, Jiraya, fulfilling the prophecy. 

Who is the Strongest Anime Character in One Piece?

To understand who is the strongest anime character in One Piece, you must understand how power gets calculated. Haki (spirit, ambition) is the universal way to calculate power. However, a devil's fruit can also determine how strong the character is.

Haki-wise, Shanks is the strongest one. He doesn’t have a devil fruit but possesses all three haki. According to the creator, his presence is powerful enough to nerf other haki users. However, Garp and Roger, in their prime days, might easily beat Shanks in a one-on-one fight.

Devil fruit-wise, Akainu, the fleet admiral, might be the strongest. He’s the owner of the best offensive devil fruit — Magma-Magma fruit. However, Black Beard has two devil fruits — Tremor-Tremor and Dark-Dark Fruit — making him automatically much stronger.

However, when it comes to one-on-one on land, sea, or air, Kaido, king of the beasts, is unmatched. Only several characters hurt him, one of them being Luffy. To add more to his power, he has a devil fruit and can turn into a dragon. He is one of the strongest anime villains to have ever lived.

The reason for this gap might be the target audience. A lot of anime series focus on the young male audience. However, in the past few decades, as the target audience grew, the rooster of characters also expanded.
