Top 10 Strongest Anime/Manga Characters

I'm a fan of almost every anime on this list, and One Punch Man (the show) isn't even in my top 10. So, just to be clear, this isn't biased.

Saitama (One Punch Man) fought a guy who could destroy planets with a blink of an eye, and he defeated him with just two punches without getting a single scratch. If that isn't enough proof, Saitama also stood in a black hole and lifted his arm with ease. Someone once calculated that, in doing so, he lifted around 80,000,000 metric tons, whereas Goku has been estimated to only lift around 7,500 tons.

Saitama can also move at least the speed of light, while Goku is only about half as fast. I know you guys grew up with Goku. I did too. But you have to face the facts. Even with Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan, Goku stands no chance.

Maybe if he reaches Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan 5000, he will have a shot. But right now, no way. And keep in mind, Saitama has never even tried. What I just listed is only a fraction of his power, while for Goku, that is his max.

He may struggle with the big foes that keep on popping up, and he may seem pitiful compared to them, but he'll always step up and train himself. He doesn't give up. DBZ probably has the most formidable enemies because each one makes a long impact, such as Frieza, Cell, and Majin Buu. They never last for a short while, and it's even more exciting when it takes a lot to defeat them.

Goku can do so much without breaking a sweat. I mean, he can destroy the moon with a simple Ki blast, like Piccolo did in the early episodes of DBZ. Even if somebody does surpass him at some point, he'll beat them no matter how long it takes because his power is limitless.

Vegeta is the prince of all Saiyans, and yet he's ranked number seven? He can destroy an entire galaxy and is the only one who even has a chance of equaling or surpassing Goku. He should be number two.

Just imagine. He could have destroyed Earth when he was fighting Goku in the Saiyan Saga, and his power level wasn't even 18,000. In the Frieza Saga, his power increased every time he was healed, and by the time he was killed by Frieza, his power level was over 1,000,000.

Now think about how strong he was in the Buu Saga. And yet, he's in seventh place? He should be number two.

He trains gods. He should be the strongest since he trains Goku and Vegeta.

Nothing to say. His power proves that he is the number one.

He can beat even Beerus easily, and Beerus defeated SSGSS Goku.

This list is silly. Vados would obviously one-shot Goku and is stronger than Whis. The likes of Saitama, Naruto, Luffy, and so on would literally die from the shockwaves of her one-shotting Goku.

She should be in the top 3. She can single-handedly beat both Goku and Vegeta at the same time.

Everyone on this list: Uses power.
Giorno Giovanna: Nope, resets willpower and actions to 0.

Giorno at full power is one of the most broken characters in all fiction. His power is basically just to win whatever fight he gets into. His ultimate power, nullifying cause and effect - one of the basic fundamentals of existence and reality - makes it so nothing can even virtually harm him. On top of that, his power exists outside time and reality, so it activates instantly.

I'd say 99.9% of fictional characters use cause and effect. Everyone in this list when they use their power is a "cause," but Giorno's power is to eliminate the cause instantly, which means cause and effect can never happen, therefore they cannot do anything. Absolutely broken character.

The only Strawhat who fights without a Devil Fruit or weapon, yet he is still badass. Hell, his first role on the crew is not even as a fighter, but as a chef. So the fact that he is so strong is even more impressive.

He can fly, he is also extremely fast, and he is pretty smart. Overall, I think he is the most multitalented Strawhat.

Gohan is insanely powerful as shown in his epic fight with Cell. And he was a kid at that time, and you know your breath was whisked away when you watched him. Sure, he gave up on training when peace was restored and powered down when the Majin Buu saga began. When Kibit requested him to show him Super Saiyan, Vegeta commented that he was much stronger during the Cell fight and he hadn't been training.

Gohan must be at least 3rd or 4th because he IS Goku's son. Whenever he's angered, the enemies are in big trouble. Conclusion: Piss him off, you're already dead.

In the latest Naruto manga, he can teleport and is faster than the speed of light, given by him being compared to the Yellow Flash (his father). He has surpassed his father in speed. He could easily dominate anyone if he were to use all the way up to Ashura mode, and maybe even without, depending on who he is versing. He is even likely to destroy Goku in a battle since Goku can only teleport where he sees, but if Naruto were to mark him, then he can teleport right beside Goku without Goku actually being able to dodge it. He could also teleport his ninjutsu attacks directly to him, with Goku having zero chance of ever dodging it.

Oh, why is he not the number one? He should be the number one, right? Oh well, I feel sorry for Naruto fans who voted for him. At first, I was about to vote for him but I remembered the ending and the movie of it. So Luffy is the strongest anime character for me. Sorry, Naruto fans, I hate jackass Naruto.

Luffy never backs out of a fight. Each time he wins, he gets stronger and stronger. He's up to Gear 4. Goku can beat that, but he will get some damage from Luffy because Luffy is powerful.

Luffy is definitely not the most powerful, but he has powers that are very good. I mean, the Gear powers and the Jet powers. If Luffy were to unleash something like "Gear 4", then it's bye-bye, Naruto.

The only thing is water. Any fancy water technique will not work on him because he needs to be fully submerged in salt water. Luffy is good.

At the end of the anime of Hellsing Ultimate, you can see/hear he is omnipotent. That means he can't die to anyone ever as long as he knows he is alive. He can't be erased either. A fight between him and someone else who is omnipotent would be an infinite fight that would last forever. Even someone like Zen-oh wouldn't be able to erase Alucard from existence since Alucard has reached the "level" of a God itself.

Alucard cannot die. All he needs to do is believe he is alive, and he will be alive. He has the power to be omniscient. He is everywhere and nowhere, all at the same time.

L for life. Somebody give this guy a Death Note.

Oh yes. He can beat Madara easily. Itachi is the strongest person in the Uchiha clan.

Itachi can beat Madara. Itachi is also the strongest in his clan.

Wait, how is Itachi under someone like Gray?

Must I remind people in the comments that being handsome isn't really a strength, but Natsu is super strong? Like Erza said, Natsu responds to stronger opponents by becoming stronger himself. If he were pitted against any of the Forbidden Four (the strong ones no one rates above each other or whatever), I think it'd all come to a draw.

All of the characters in anime strive towards strength for their family, but in all honesty, Natsu has demonstrated his means of getting power to do just that. He's come to near death several times, like any other character, but still pushed himself further. I haven't watched Dragon Ball, but based on Naruto, Luffy, and Ichigo, I'd say Natsu would try the hardest, and to me, that's strength.
