Top 10 Strongest Anime/Manga Characters

Saitama uses an uncountably minuscule amount of his power in his "Serious Punch," his most powerful showing of strength thus far. This punch not only completely negated an energy blast that could shatter a planet the size of Earth or larger (it's shown that the OPMverse Earth has 4 moons orbiting it, and the official character booklet translates Boros's final move as planet-shattering), but it also was able to affect the atmosphere halfway across the globe afterward. In one of the official manga tankobons, Murata drew a sneak peek of a future arc in which Saitama punches a giant hole through the moon, supposedly against a villain called "Metal Emperor."

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 should be second because even if he is weaker than Goku, he shot up right to Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan without becoming Super Saiyan 3 or Super Saiyan God. He didn't even need Gohan, Trunks, Goten, and Goku to join hands and go through the procedure of becoming SSJG. He doesn't depend on others and focuses on achieving new stages of Super Saiyan by himself. That's what makes him so powerful.

Vegeta can destroy galaxies. Naruto can destroy mountains. I've watched both animes. Case closed. Saitama is strong, but he doesn't have the power of a god. Goku vs. Vegeta is debatable, but anyway, Vegeta should be second or first.

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.

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.
