Most Powerful Bungou Stray Dogs Characters

There are many reasons why Dazai can be considered the most powerful character in the show:
1. He has an extremely rare and powerful ability, No Longer Human, which allows him to nullify any ability upon contact.
2. He's physically very strong and fast : Dazai's ability is not suitable for offensive purpose, but to make up for it, Dazai is already very strong without his ability. In one of the light novels, he defeated Chuuya, the strongest martial artist of Port Mafia who can easily shatter a wall with one kick, in hand to hand combat. He is also so fast that he can dodge bullets with ease.
3. He is very intelligent : Not only is Dazai physically strong and have a powerful ability, he's also very smart and cunning. He's the mastermind behind many schemes, and is a master of manipulation and interrogation. It has been said that no-one has failed to spill everything in the face of Dazai's methods.
All of these make Dazai the most formidable and dangerous character in Bungou Stray Dogs. There was even a saying in the Mafia that the worst thing for Dazai's enemies were the fact they were his enemies, which speaks volumes about how feared he is among foes and how valuable an ally he is. Not to mention he is always two steps ahead of his opponents.

Just as smart and cunning as Dazai, with an ability that supposedly kill people just by touching them. Enough said.

Is supposedly strong. His ability's power has not yet been fully revealed. Smart too.

He can kill people with them basically breathing his breath So...is that enough.

He's a complete hothead and he is really easily provoked into rushing into fights without having a plan, which may results in many regrettable losses of his. However, in terms of pure destruction, he weilds a terrifyingly powerful and destructive ability which causes devastating damage, making Chuuya very hard to defeat. Mot to mention he is already physically powerful, being the strongest martial artist in the Port Mafia.

Well, we all know his ability is terrifying and surprisingly he has control on most except for corruption. He is really fast and undoubtedly strong in fighting. He may not be that good in analitical as much as I know but he is indeed extremely strong especially when Dazai and him are working together.

It's heavily implied that he's actually "The Great Old One". Dazai was not able to nullify his "ability" Which means it's not an "ability". He is so nonchalant that if he did care about defeating anyone he'll obviously win since after being blown by Chuuya and Dazai he just regenerated. And he even said so himself that since his contract is done he'll go back to sleep. I'm absolutely 100% sure that he's not human. He's based off Lovecraft's (the real one) "Cthulhu" that is "a great power that lies in a death-like slumber beneath the Pacific Ocean".

As time progresses I think we will find that Atsushi becomes the strongest character in the series. Aside from his lack of experience (already shown to be growing stronger each season as his experience grows), his only downside is his self image. When he becomes confident in himself I think we will see him merge with the weretiger and become the strongest person in the show.

My fave character but impartially I believe there is room for improvement and overall think with time he will become the strongest character.All he has to do is have a little more fate in himself and train to become more stronger after all he only started learning control not to long,I for one thinks once he learns to control his power he would be unstoppable.I would very much like to see Atsushi bond with the beast within him.

Dazai himself says just how powerful Odasaku's ability is. If it weren't for the leader of Mimic, Odasaku would still be alive, and able to beat the armed detective agency if he was willing. The only one who could even possibly beat him is Dazai, because of the ability "no longer human". And if I'm correct, I believe Dazai said that he didn't have the skills to beat Odasaku. That would mean Odasaku is stronger than the guy on the top of the list. And if not top, he should at least get second. He could even beat Akutagawa's Rashoumon flawlessly. He could've been the boss of the Port Mafia if it weren't for his dream of becoming a writer, which gave him his reason never to kill.

Q should most definitely be higher on the list due to his dangerous ability.

Mind control is always OP. They had to lock and chain this guy 24/7 to keep him under control

Kyouka is scarily strong and mature for her age. She is already capable of rivaling people who are older and more experienced. Can't wait to see the monster of an assassin she grows into.

Demon Snow, a strong ability where she controls a monster. Strong in hand to hand combat too.

She's really strong in hand-to-hand combat. Her ability, Thou Shalt Not Die, is a healing ability, able to heal any fatal injuries, as well as restore body parts, as shown when Kunikida told Atsushi that it's ok even if he lost both his arms because they had Yosano.

Can heal any fatal wounds and has good physical ability.

He literally can't take most damage, in combat fights.

He usually has the upper hand in nearly all combat fights.

But he may be but down the list for his personality of being naturally to nice.

I'm not giving manga spoilers of why he's really the most powerful.

Super Duper cute. And that's a FACT thank you very much.

The amount of wealth he yields translates to his power. At the end of season 2, I'd say he'd be the most powerful, gifted character other than Chuuya and Dazai.

It depends on how much money he's got, but if he is as rich as he was when fighting Atsushi and Akutagawa, he'd be a force to be reckoned with.

I don't understand how he is this low, he should at LEAST be on par with akutagawa and atsushi because of season 2

He can take anyone that reads his book into that world, it's a perfect trap.
One's curiosity would peek into the book and with one peek they'd be in Edgars novel, as proof in season 3 where Chuuya almost attacked Ranpo with bunch was blocked by Edgars book and they both dissappeared into the novel.

Why the hell is one of the main protagonists of Durarara here?
