Top Ten Coolest Anime/Manga Characters

Because Goku is so naive and innocent that people keep forget how badass and cool he can become when he gets serious in fights? When he's angry, his super saiyan mode looks really cool and formidable; not to mention his badass SSJ3 transformation as well

He's naive and innocent, but on the battlefield he's the most badass and formidable being in the entire world. Just look at his SSJ3 appearance with all those sparkling lightnings, majestic hair and cool face! He's the kindest friend but is also the most dangerous enemy ever. - Goku02

How is Goku lower than Naruto. Goku is a lot better than Naruto

He's cool

Itachi is the very definition of cool he's a badass and rocks also he's the kindest guy in the world I love him and I'm sure everyone else does too

Well everyone knows this guy's all knows strength. He's just a guy. Well in my opinion he should be top 11 but nope there's no top eleven - VictiniAndReshiram

Cooler than Sasuke (who is immature and deluded and cold hearted) yet the kindest character in Naruto.

I lovee him go follow him on instagram @xx.uchiha_itachi.xx

Should be in top5

Why is he so low? - Xavier77

Vag-eater. He's a pretty dope dude.

I don't even understand why people are drawn to lines (itachi) duckbutt (sasuke) or L

He is badass... At eating

His weirdness and smartness both makes him the coolest

He is so damn intelligent which makes him cool as well as smart

L is awesome I love his sarcasstic way of talking and how (spoilers) unlike near he didn't need help and he was the one who had the idea of making multiple fake Ls he was so good that when he wasnt in the show it got way worse I reccomend taking a break after L dies so the show can get better

Although I like itachi more zoro is the coolest

He should be number one suck what

Best of the best

In a list of the coolest characters he should be at the top

This guy is chill but at the same time will not give up on his comrades. He has a plan and he is not afraid to use it! I personally think that is pretty cool.

Levi is a pair of pants, but he's pretty badass for a pair of pants.

Yes Levi, you won it. Now, one more to go, that Uchiha boy!

Great character

Sasuke and Itachi are the only characters in Naruto that makes me keep watching it. Honestly I don't care about the other characters. He isn't annoying, he isn't useless, and he doesn't care about anyone. Cool, calm, and keeps moving forward to accomplish his goal.

Sasuke is cold. I guess that is what makes him cool.

Sasuke is number one in this category. No one can argue with this.

No one? Speak for yourself. I can argue vehemently on what a jackass Sasuke is.

I love sasgay

Gaara and Itachi are the best in this show.I love both of you

He sure is cool

Gaara is veerry cool,but not cooler than sasuke.I still think that gaara should be a little higher in this ranking

This whole list seems preposterous. For starters, Might Guy? Really? His whole character is based upon being outshown by Kakashi in a "cool-factor" kind of way. I hate to be one of those people who does/says this, but Kakashi should definitely be above him! I don't want to push Kakashi onto you people, but I do want you to think about this list a little bit. Are these people really "cool"? Or are they just your favorite characters?

He's awesome should be number 3 after itachi at number 1 and sasuke at number 2

His mask makes Him super cool. He is cool. Sasuke first, kakashi second and itachi third

In my opinion Kakashi hatake IS THE SWAGGIEST ANIME CHARACTER EVER! I love how cool and calm Kakashi always is, and he's really hot so that's a plus! and I love when he one ups guy sensei! it's so funny! and also it just shows how cool Kakashi really is... like when he uses the line "did you say something? " OMGG I'm FANGIRLING he's SO ATTRACTIVE... but anyways you should vote for Kakashi hatake because he's a boss ass bitch

The coolest female character ever!

She is the first female character that is bad-ass...

Mikasa should be WAY higher on the list.

She's cool

He is the coolest in one piece... he is a bit less strong than others but is strong, flirter, cool, badass, stylish and every thing a character should be

He is the full package

Naruto is so much better than sasuke - FanAnime

Well I think he's cool but not cooler than a uchiha - Larrygo4

Narutos the only main character that I like

Natsu is heart of fairy tail

Why didn't anyone mention this badass guy?

Deidara is so cool. He flies thru the air on his clay birds with his long hair in the wind, he's a master of art and explosives, and a free spirit who enjoys battle.

EXPLOSION IS AN ART

In fact this should be Top 5 but you know orange hair if his hair is black then I will put him to Top 5 - VictiniAndReshiram

He is the coolest hero of all time... Way better than that dumbass sasuke.

The gruff and rebellious attitude, yet caring side, make Ichigo so cool. He has a cool and unique sense of street style, plus he just exudes badass.

He is the Best

No words can explain how cool he is

He's a God compared to Hashirama.

Coolest worst ass character

Top 2

A main character who got strong just by eating a special fruit doesn't deserve to be in this list Naruto uzumaki and ichigo kurosaki only got stronger because of hard work and had to take risks to become stronger

For example ichigo became a soul reaper but also had a hollow inside of him
Naruto trained and became stronger but had a demon fox inside of him that made the villagers hate him

No main character got strong without suffering (except sailor moon) so that's why I don't like luffy

Oh, I almost forgot he can't also swim because of the devil fruit, when he needed to know how to swim as he needed it to venture the open ocean as a pirate

For those saying that luffy "just ate a fruit and instantly got stronger" please watch more of one piece. When his a child his grandpa who is considered to be the hero of marines trained him, not just training, trainings that are to extreme for a child( maybe 8-10 yrs old I forgot) like what you say?

Being thrown to the forest alone at night, tied to a balloon to sky, fighting wild animals (tigers, lion, etc)
Being thrown to a bottomless pit and more

And more if you watch more of OP a lot of character who ate the devil fruits doesn't got strong because they don't have tranings or don't know how to use their power and we're defeated easily

He might not be the coolest but it's his personality is what makes him ace for the top. He is the one who probably can beat Naruto and Ichigo. He cares more for his friends than Naruto and Ichigo probably does. What do you mean didn't do any hard work? He did! Tons too. Eating the devil fruit only gave him powers, that doesn't mean he doesn't have to train to learn how to use it.

Whoever said Luffy just ate a fruit and "instantly" got stronger, that doesn't mean anything. You guys are probably a 7 year old that just assumes One piece isn't as good as any other anime you watch. What if you ate a fruit? Would you instantly get stronger? No! You have to learn how to use and control it. Ichigo only needs to swing is sword and yell "Bankai! " Naruto, he trained, but I still think he isn't as good as a ninja.

Perhaps his personality suits his clothes because he certainly doesn't understand the ninja dressing code because what ninja wears "orange" when fighting? Including real ...more

"Open Sesame! Good work soldiers. Now good night." - Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate - ModernSpongeBobSucks

Awesome to no ends.

Duh, no explanation required!

I was going down the list thinking eh these guys are pretty cool.
I got to alucard.
'enough said. - iiSerpentKing

He's the coolest and smartest kid. He should #2 with Vegeta #1

Why wasn't he added before? He's the 3rd coolest DBZ character after Vegeta and Piccolo and the smartest kid.

Disappointed that he's up here smh

Are you excited of buying Pokemon X for DS? Well don't buy it, buy Pokemon Y! We all know that Yveltal's dark and flying type but I really like him no cons to him! He's SUPER COOL - VictiniAndReshiram

I think Lucy is a great person. Even though she hasn't been in fairy tail as long as the others she has more fairy tail pride then the others. She will do. Anything to protect the guild and the people she loves

I personally don't hate Lucy. She's really kind and brave. She risks her life for her comrades, and I think that takes a lot of bravery

I love Lucy forever

How is she cool?

He is my favorite Akatsuki member. He's gorgeous and his backstory always makes me want to cry. He is definitely one of the best characters in the anime. And Sakura DIDN'T defeat him, he wanted to die; Chiyo even tells her that he chose to let his defenses down.

Have you ever seen Naruto. Check out sasuke's personality. This guy is cool too. Deserves higher ranking but not cooler than sasuke.

Sure he's cool! His blade is a dragon of pure ice! Ice is cool! Literally.

Do ya get the joke he's "COOL"

In my opinion he's cooler than all uchihas he's way better than sasuke

Reasons: his hairstyle ( the old one and the new one)
Captain of squad 10 the youngest squad member
Every anime I saw so far, I never saw a kid being mature until I saw bleach

Toshiro is short a kid, and kids are supposed to be weak yet he is strong caring mature and the one who protects not the one being protected

The blue beast who becomes the red beast for the shinobi clan is the coolest anime manga characters of all time... His power of 8 gates is fascinating and really awesome!

This is Lee's father I believe he might be stronger than Lee but you know what? He's cool, strong. - VictiniAndReshiram

Konohas handsome green beast. He used a technique that instantly kills the user, and survived with only a paralyzed leg. Enough said

Lucy's cooler than The Fairy Queen Titania? Seriously?

I don't believe how erza has not made the list while b**** lucy made the list. I don't think whoever made this list or whoever added lucy in this list has seen fairytail. I mean, how can you not add erza to this list.
Erza is so awesome. She can change into hundreds of different armors and is the strongest female wizard of fairytail guild. Please guys, vote for erza. She deserves to be higher up the list.

You don't get more badass than guts he is literally the definition of badass and he is probably the reason for Japan's big sword fetish

His SSJ2 transformation and his Ultimate form is so badass and cool! Why is he so low on this list?

Gohan. You rock cause you are son of a rocking man. He was so cool when he defeated cell

Teen Gohan SSJ2 and Ultimate Gohan kill! - Goku02

He takes after his father so should be second, right below where Goku's at

He's plainly awesome great at strength and should get a higher position

He should be number 6

The best of the best!

Ok but the first time I am seeing him he's basically like a massive flying giant worm. Then I laughed judging Giratina that he is the worst Pokemon ever. But when I saw it on the Pokedex. I COULD NOT BELIEVE it. HE's supah strong! - VictiniAndReshiram

A lot of these characters on this list are great, but most aren't "cool" in the classic definition. Onizuka for the win

I LOVE him! He's hot and has long and wild black hair that suits him very well. If he was real, I would totally marry him. I wish he was real. I dream of him all the time!
