Top 10 Strongest Anime/Manga Characters

Saitama uses an un-countably 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 which can shatter a planet the size of Earth or larger, (it's shown that OPMverse Earth has 4 moons orbiting it, and the official character booklet translates Boros's final move as planet-shattering) it also was able to affect the atmosphere halfway across the globe afterwards. 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".

Have you seen his fight with Boros!? That's Goku Personified in the anime! He wasn't even serious when he was fighting him and was holding back the whole time! He should be in number 1 since he could also blow up planets if he tries. I bet he can even do that in one punch. If ever there's a death match between Goku and saitama-sama, I'm 100 % sure it's saitama's win. Goku can hit him, fire him with beams etc as many times as he wants and still can't win against him. It's like Genos and Saitma's practice fight. It says so in the anime that his power is LIMITLESS. OP.

Choose saitama because I tired of characters with the same plot setting in all anime, weak guy do some hard work then beat strong guy then he lose to stronger guy then do more hard work then beat the stronger guy then he lose again, and on and on,...
Saitama is interesting, he did some "hard work", then no one can beat him even terrestrial guy. For me, that really interesting, unique actually, a good alternative than normal hard working hero story like naruto, goku, etc

Saitama is definitely one of the strongest anime characters alive. I mean, Naruto, Goku, Luffy, Ichigo and the other nine are strong too but they can't stand a chance to Saitama. He doesn't need any certain, special energy to flow through him to be strong, that's what makes him so powerful. I mean, lets say that Naruto ran out of chakra, then hed be kinda helpless. But Saitama doesn't need any of that

He may struggle with the big foes that keep on popping up and he may be pitiful compared to them but he'll always step up and train himself. He doesn't give up. And 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.

I have been a fan of anime since like forever, not to offend anyone but... If anyone could match up Goku it would be Saitama (one punch man) but that's with restricted fighting rules. Saitama states that he is only human assuming he can't fly, nor can he teleport like Goku. If they were to fight Goku could teleport away if the earth was to be destroyed and let Saitama suffocate (based on the him being human thing, he may be able to hold his breath for a long time but it's a matter of time). But due to Gokus kind and fair nature when it comes to fights, it is possible for him to tie.

Is this seriously a question? Come on guys, can any one blast the entire solar system or travel faster than light or has saved earth hundreds of time because Goku can. He is the damn strongest anime character ever. He can kick the ass of any one on this list whether its is ichigo or madara or any one else. His kamehameha beam is enough to defeat any anime.

Goku is powerful but he's not the smartest of people out there and every character has a weakness. Someone could discover that and use it against him; perhaps a trap or some sort of contraption?

Anyhow, he has the strongest physical ability but someone extremely smart could easily set a trap for him to fall straight into.

Vegetal should be 2nd 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 and that's what makes him so powerful.

Vegetation can destroy galaxies. Naruto can destroy mountains. I've watch both anime's. 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.

I don't like him, but just like Goku he can destroy planets with barely breaking a few sweats, might want to make all the Dragonball characters top this list.

Vegeta is my all time favorite character, but should be number 2 instead of 5 on here. Only goku is stronger

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 bills/beerus easily and bills/beerus defeated ssgss goku

Nope krillin can't

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 shoting Goku.

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

Cujoh Stone Ocean and Jojo Bizarre Adventures are some of the finest characters so far in anime. Should be 3rd on this list would share.

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 insantly. 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.

Giorno is not only one of the most powerful characters in anime and manga but in fiction in general. Gold Experience Requiem has the power to nullify any attack that had the primary cause of harming Giorno and making it so the person who did the action would be unable to anything since all of their willpower, actions get reset to 0. They would be completely helpless the moment they tried to attack Giorno. It's also Acasual meaning it exists outside of Time, Space and Reality effectively allowing to activate this ability instantly.

In other words, he can eliminate the "effect" from cause and effect and whoever did the "cause" would be completely helpless against him since they are unable to do anything after it uses its ability. This alone makes him one of the most broken characters since 99.9% of fictional characters abide by the basic fundamental of "Cause and Effect."

Thanos snaps his fingers? Never snapped
Goku uses Kamehameha? Never even fired
Zeno eliminates ...more

Not only he can turn anything to the state of zero, Even before Gold Experience became requiem he already have the ability to turn any objects into living thing. Even if you severe his hand, or feet, or arm, he can replace it. And that ability became OP after GE became GER. He became untouchable. Once you were killed by him, you will suffer unlimited loops of death. All possible death methods will happen to you. Not even gods of all gods can counter him. Note: Giorno does not know about this ability, His Stand Gold Experience only knows what it is.

Saitama is noob for him

No match to him

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 and 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 and whenever he's angered, the enemies are in big trouble. Conclusion: Piss him off, you're already dead.

How come is NATSU higher than Gohan? Hell, even Yamcha could destroy multipld moons at least, which is far more than anything Zeref or Acnologia coulx handle. Furthermore, Gohan was the strongest unfused character by the end of DBZ.Stop voting for the protagonists. This is a list for the most powerful!

Gohan is the strongest nonfused Z fighter at the end of DBZ. He's stronger than Goku and Vegeta if you don't count Super.

What? Gohan should be at least top 5

In the latest Naruto Manga he can teleport and he is faster than the speed of light given by him being compared to the yellow "FLASH" ( his father). he had surpassed his father in speed. he could easily dominate anyone if he was 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 was 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 to him directly, with Goku having zero chance of ever dodging it.

Naruto isn't only strong through power, he's also strong in the fact that he can rely on other people when he needs to. If you guys will remember when Itachi said that his own downfall was because he couldn't trust anyone, and he told Naruto that he should rely on other people no matter how strong Naruto himself gets. Naruto kept this in mind and now look at him:

The loser of he Academy is the Hokage. Suck it, losers

Naruto is the strongest. He can beat Goku because Goku is not smart and Naruto smarter than him. He can block any attacks of Goku, Goku is weaker than Naruto, he can clone many strong himself. Naruto can control all tailed beast and know their name. The four tailed named son Goku. He can heal himself unlike Goku.

Unlike many others in this list Naruto has ninjutsu that gives him the ability to mold his chakra to deliver fatal physical blows.Moreover given the fact that he has the largest reserve of chakra (next only to ten tails) and surpasses even his own father in teleportation he can defeat any character on the list on any given day.What makes him most formidable is his never die attitude (the will to stand by his word) and his unflinching faith in himself and his comrades.

I'm extremely tired of this. Stop hating, stop cursing at Naruto just because it's a higher rank than your favorite anime. Because it is true. Naruto is stronger than Luffy or what I think. But you can't really compare an anime character to another because they are in completely different worlds, completely different powers, completely different levels of power, different things you can accomplish. It is just the fan base. It's your opinion. Don't say sorry because you are still offending people. I respect your opinion so you respect mine.

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 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 chara 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 most powerful. BUT, he has powers that are very good. I mean, the gear powers. the jet powers. If luffy were to unleash something like "gear 4" then its bye bye naruto. Only thing is water, but any fancy water technique will not work on him because he nees ro be fully submerged in salt water. luffy is good

L for Life. Somebody give this guy a Life Note

One write and your dead

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 aslong he knows he is alive, he can't be erased either, a fight between him and someone else who is Omnipotent would be a infinite fight that would last forever, and 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 will be alive. He has he power to be omniscient he is everywhere and nowhere all at the same time.

He is immortal, changes shapes to demons and a badass. The only reason why is not so popular is because anime is just so gory, most of your parents wouldn't allow you to watch it

He uses of psychological fighting, and he's just overpowered. Check the Valentine's OAV, it's just 1/10 of his power! Sure he'll defeat Saitama or the DragnonBall team.

Oh yes. He can beat madara easily. Itachi is the strongest person in uchiha 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 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 were to try the hardest, and to me, that's strength.

I think natsu is the best among all of the manga character. He inherit the blood of immortality from his most hated brother, zeref.

Natsu is the best because of his overflowing. He is very heroic. He survived death many times and above all he is loyal.

To me natsu is always the number one
And anyway strength is not about power yet natsu is strong because he always protect his friends,family and his guild and to me that is true strength.
So natsu fans let's vote for natsu you don't want this awesome character in this rate right? &
And for natsu don't feel down ok
me and your fans is ready to give vote for you
you'll always be number one for us has been and will always be
