Top 10 Strongest Anime Characters of All Time
Goku is a character who always wants to get stronger and fight stronger opponents. This would be impossible if he were already the strongest. He is intentionally written as a character who overcomes adversity and reaches new heights. If he were the strongest person in existence, there would be no reason for him to exist. In that regard, Goku is inspirational. However, his life would be without meaning if he had no one who could give him a run for his money. If Goku were the strongest character in anime, all of Dragon Ball Super would consist of him farming and raising his family.
Goku is definitely stronger. Simon uses the keyword MECH to accomplish everything he's been able to do, while Goku's strength is natural and relies only on himself. Gurren Lagann is more about not giving up when times are tough. No one can really compare to Goku because he gets stronger every time he's pushed against the wall.
Even if Goku were to lose, he would just come back even stronger. Those of you who compare Goku to Superman should also realize that Superman's power is more constant. It stays where it is. It's also noteworthy that, unlike Goku, Superman has an actual weakness that has been exploited on more than one occasion.
He is the strongest, by definition. He can defeat anybody with only one punch while being invincible at the same time. Son Goku? Saitama defeats him with one punch. Alucard? He can regenerate all he wants, just to be destroyed to a crisp with one punch. Nothing can hurt him.
He has different weaknesses than any other character. How does he pay the bills? Why doesn't anyone know him, or better said, why isn't he famous? And how does he avoid the awful boredom of winning every fight with just one punch?
He usually isn't even serious while fighting and fools around most of the time. Despite this, he is capable of destroying the whole planet with just one simple punch.
Honestly, Saitama is a gag anime and manga character. His sole existence is to poke fun at anime characters who undergo intense training procedures to get stronger, while Saitama does semi-hard training exercises in just three years. If you watch the Film Theorist episode about Saitama, you will see that if Saitama gives it his all, he can reset the universe. This is a feat that, as of this date, only Zen-Oh Sama can achieve. The closest any of the other anime characters on this list get to this power is Whis with rewinding the space-time continuum, but that's only for 5 minutes. Saitama can literally reset space and time, something none of the top 10 anime characters, as of me writing this, can do. Now, if Zen-Oh Sama were put on this list, then it's really up for debate whether Saitama is the strongest.
Why is Vegeta ranked behind Naruto? He is only slightly weaker than Goku. During the Saiyan saga, he had enough power to easily destroy planets. This is demonstrated when he effortlessly destroyed Planet Arlia with a power level of 18,000 - although power levels are meaningless. Since then, he has gotten thousands of times stronger and is capable of performing Superman-like feats with ease. (Superman would beat him in a fight, though.) He is even able to hold his own against gods, but not defeat them.
Sure, my opinion here is pretty biased towards Dragon Ball Z, but I don't think Naruto - who is ridiculously powerful with his Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and all - would be able to hold a candle to Vegeta.
Vegeta is barely weaker than Goku! How is he lower than Naruto, while Goku is higher? I think that all DBZ characters, besides the really weak ones, are stronger than all of the other anime characters. This is because DBZ has a ridiculously endless amount of possibilities in terms of what physics can be denied and how powerful each character can get. Vegeta should be just one space away from Goku, wherever in the ranks Goku may end up.
Whis should be #1, and Beerus should be #2. The reason is that Beerus proved he was stronger than Goku in the movie. Beerus stated that Whis is his teacher, so that's why Whis should be number one. List Goku, Vegeta, Vegito, Gogeta - name them all - they won't touch Whis. In the movie, Beerus and Goku were the only fighters, while Whis was merely wandering around looking for food. If he had fought, Goku would have likely died. Whis let Beerus do all the work. If King Kai and all the other Kais are afraid of Beerus, it's only because Beerus is the God of Destruction. They aren't scared of Whis because they know Beerus will handle everything. Beerus also said the strongest person he's fought was Whis, not Goku. Goku was the second strongest. That's why Whis is number one, Beerus number two, and Goku number three.
Not even two Super Saiyan God Super Saiyans would be able to kill him. Guess what? He can go back in time. Naruto survives an attack that slices the moon in half without a scratch? Whis can blow up the entire universe and rewind time as if he never did it at all. He is not only stronger than Goku, Vegeta, and Lord Beerus, but he is probably also the fastest, most experienced, and all-around greatest warrior in the universe.
I don't care how strong Naruto is or what he can do. If he can't destroy the entire universe with one blow (which won't matter because Whis can just rewind time), he can't defeat Goku, Vegeta, Beerus, or Whis. Whis is probably even stronger than Superman because of this. The sun gives Superman power? Just blow it up. Even if Superman can fly from one end of the universe to the other, Goku still has instant transmission. Yet, how is it that Goku still couldn't defeat Lord Beerus? If Beerus only used 70% of his strength in that fight, and Whis is stronger than Beerus (as Akira has stated), then that would mean speed doesn't even matter to Whis. Whis is OP.
Naruto is a monster when it comes to pure strength. In his own respective universe, he is stronger than anyone else. Such as Sasuke, who destroyed a meteor with one hit. Madara, who took down an entire army using only physical attacks. Itachi Uchiha, who could torture someone for three days and three nights in the time of a second. Rock Lee, who was able to hit and then hit again without even touching the ground, in a blur, for many minutes. This means that he could basically float above the ground using speed alone and hit his enemies for several minutes. Gaara, who created a sand shield that took a nuke the size of a city. Minato, Naruto's dad, who was able to teleport to a mark that he had put on someone before they had been killed.
Naruto has feats like falling off a tower face-first and not being scathed in his second strongest form. When he had used up all of his energy, he was still able to blow up a valley and his opponent's arm in it. Naruto was able to sense the difference between identical clones in every way by sensing emotion. He was stabbed in every limb by a blade but was still able to get up with the blades intact.
To cap it off, Naruto is definitely the strongest anime character - except for maybe Goku. But the DBZ universe shouldn't really be on this list because they're so overpowered and unfair compared to the others.
Luffy is, for one, a powerful character capable of destroying rocks with a punch. He also has Haki, which allows him to harden his body for defense and use Observation Haki to dodge attacks. Even if he can't dodge an attack, his body is still made out of rubber. So, unless someone can bypass this trait, they cannot hurt him.
Additionally, Luffy has various gears that make him faster, more durable, and stronger. He also has a unique ability to improvise attacks that work against his enemy. Because of this, I don't think Goku could ever be serious with him. Likewise, Saitama would probably also become serious until Luffy changes his demeanor.
The only reason Naruto is in 2nd place is because he is a finished character, like Goku. Bleach will probably end with the Quincy vs. Shinigami saga. One Piece is about 2/3 done, meaning Luffy can still evolve. I'm guessing no one has yet seen Gear 4th.
Who cares if Naruto cut down a tree or Ichigo cut a mountain? The same could be said for Luffy. He cut down a beanstalk. The point is, Luffy is ever-evolving, unlike finished characters like Goku and Naruto. There should be separate top 10 lists for finished characters and non-finished characters.
While I think the day will come when Goku may surpass Beerus and Whis, he hasn't done so yet. Never mind the fact that Beerus can blow up a planet just by tapping his finger. If you watch the last Dragon Ball movie, he fights Goku in Super Saiyan God form. Even after they finish fighting, Whis talks to him about how he hasn't had to use that much of his power in a long time. That level of power is not even more than half of his true potential. We haven't seen the full extent of Beerus' powers ourselves, and yet every other character on the show is scared of him! I love Goku. He and Vegeta are my favorite characters by far. But if we're talking about the strongest anime character, Beerus and Whis should be first and second.
Beerus is stronger than God Goku and God Vegeta. In the movie, Whis said that if Goku and Vegeta team up, they might have a chance at beating him - only a chance. He's the second strongest in Universe 7 in DBZ, right under Whis. Beerus is incredibly powerful. He can destroy entire galaxies if he wanted to.
Not as powerful as Goku, Whis, Vegeta, and Beerus, but Madara Uchiha is one of the most powerful shinobi in the entire Naruto series. He is known for his mastery of the Sharingan and Rinnegan, as well as his incredible strength, speed, and durability.
In his prime, Madara was able to fight Hashirama Senju, the "God of Shinobi," to a standstill. He was also able to defeat the Five Kage single-handedly, even while he was reanimated and had limited chakra reserves.
When Madara became the Ten-Tails jinchuriki, his power increased exponentially. He was able to create a massive meteor that could have destroyed the entire Allied Shinobi Forces. He was also able to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a genjutsu that trapped the entire world in a dream.
Even at his weakest, Madara was still a formidable opponent. He was able to defeat Naruto and Sasuke in their first encounter and even managed to survive being stabbed by Hashirama's sword.
Overall, Madara Uchiha is one of the most powerful shinobi in the Naruto series. He is a master of all types of ninjutsu, and he has incredible physical strength and durability. At his full power, he is virtually unstoppable.
Here are some of Madara's most notable abilities:
- Sharingan: Madara's Sharingan was one of the most powerful in the series. He was able to use it to see through genjutsu, copy any jutsu he saw, and even cast his own genjutsu.
- Rinnegan: Madara's Rinnegan gave him access to a wide range of powerful abilities, including the ability to control gravity, space, and time. He was also able to use the Rinnegan to summon the Ten-Tails.
- Susanoo: Madara's Susanoo was one of the largest and most powerful in the series. It was able to withstand attacks from the Nine-Tails and even the Ten-Tails.
- Sage Mode: After becoming the Ten-Tails jinchuriki, Madara gained access to Sage Mode, which further increased his strength and speed.
- Immortality: After being... more
She's stronger than Whis and is the daughter of the Grand Priest. Lastly, she somehow gets over living with Champa.
She's currently the most powerful being in the entire DBverse, though Goku is still my favorite.
She's the sexiest, most powerful girl in the entire existence of anime.
Ichigo can travel slightly faster than the speed of light, a feat that is nearly impossible for any other anime character to accomplish. If he uses this speed advantage against Naruto, circling him over and over like he did with Byakuya in the "Save Rukia" arc, he would likely be stronger than Naruto. It's worth mentioning that this was when Ichigo was arguably at his weakest in terms of Soul Reaper abilities. He has massively improved his abilities both as a Soul Reaper and a Visored since then. So, it's not hard to believe that he could outperform both Naruto and Luffy.
Despite all this power, I would say that Ichigo can't defeat Goku or Vegeta. They can travel many times faster than the speed of light, while Ichigo can only travel slightly faster. Moreover, the difference in the massive amounts of Ki in Goku and Vegeta compared to Ichigo's energy and stamina is too great. As much as I love Bleach, I can't see Ichigo winning against either of them. This is why Ichigo must be ranked fourth, below Vegeta, Goku, and Saitama (from weakest to strongest).
Many people underestimate Natsu because he is in Fairy Tail, and the anime isn't the best out there. However, as Rogue stated before, Natsu's power knows no bounds. Erza also mentioned that he gets stronger depending on the opponent's strength. Essentially, he is a character created from a book that has limitless power. He defeated an immortal man whom even Acnologia couldn't kill. Zeref became a god of time and space, yet base Natsu defeated him. The interesting part is that we haven't even seen him at his strongest, and we probably won't, due to him not transforming into E.N.D. This is unfortunate. While Fairy Tail has its share of inconsistencies and plot armor, that doesn't change the fact that Natsu has incredible power.
People here are commenting that Natsu can beat a Wizard Saint and that he gains power from friendship. It's important to note that almost every single anime character has similar traits. So what if he can breathe a bit of fire and defeat some powerful people? This is nothing compared to the battles and power that characters like Naruto or Goku possess.
They are characters powerful enough to defeat someone like Natsu just by looking at him. They could take down Gildarts without batting an eye. I'm not saying this to demean Natsu. I'm a huge Fairy Tail fan. But I'm just stating what I've observed from what these characters can do.
One Rinnegan alone is powerful enough, but Sasuke has two. I understand Naruto, but Sasuke has never really used all of his power. As kids, he could've killed Naruto had he wanted to. I would've put Sasuke at least in 3rd place. I like Vegeta too, but Sasuke could easily kill Vegeta. Trunks as well.
The fact that he is Naruto's rival makes it even more sense. He isn't in the top 5, which is BS. Certain people are out of order. Sasuke killed his own master, took his brother's eyes, and nearly killed the 5 Kage. Think about it: if the Raikage hadn't hit an off-guard Sasuke, Gaara would've died, no doubt. Could Naruto do that? No. Naruto got destroyed by the Raikage until he got Kurama mode. Sasuke didn't even need that extra power to be even with him.
Sasuke fought Danzo, Sakura, Kakashi, and still had the power to fight Naruto. Yet Naruto had already rested in a cage and then got taken to his limit when he fought his so-called equal. Put Sasuke in the top 5, man. How could you even think about Naruto without thinking about Sasuke? Really.
Alucard can't be killed unless he wills it to be so. He said himself, "Only a man can kill a monster," and I don't think Saiyans are humans. The only way someone could kill Alucard is if he is really that bored and believes that a specific human is worthy of killing him. So, with him being omnipresent and nowhere at all, there is no way for him to be killed. Anything non-human immediately loses. Perhaps not immediately. It would take Goku blowing up a lot of dimensions and destroying Alucard many times before he would run out of energy enough for Alucard to either eat him or put a bullet in his head. The best candidates are either Naruto or Ichigo, in my opinion. I assume Alucard would find Naruto too childish, though, and tell him he's foolish before killing him. Ichigo, however, has higher chances. He is willing to do what needs to be done to save people and is a little more grown up than Naruto. However, I'm not sure if Ichigo can still be considered "human," so...
I read the list from top to bottom and agreed with most of it until I saw Light Yagami. I laughed at first, thinking, "This guy is so average compared to all the superpowered freaks above." But then I started realizing just how powerful Light really is. This is a list for the strongest anime character, right? I'm not going to argue that strength comes from the mind. No, I'm going to say that Light can simply write a name down, and that person is dead - over and done with.
As much as I respect the other people on this list, they have their drawbacks. For example, some take five episodes to draw up power. Others sacrifice themselves in battle for their friends, which is noble but counterproductive to winning the battle, which is the whole point of this poll. Overall, Light has the easiest chance of winning. Write the name and stay hidden for 30 seconds. No one can muster enough power in 30 seconds, which is what anime has proven to us. It's kind of silly, really, but I stick with this view. Much respect to the others, but I have to throw my vote this way.
Vegito is stronger than Gogeta. This is stated in the anime. Also, Goku and Vegeta fused to form both Vegito and Gogeta. How in Kami's name is Goku and Vegeta above their fused counterparts? Goku outranks the Omni-King (literally the god of the universe), Vados and Whis (Angels), and Beerus and Champa (Gods of Destruction), as well as various other forms of SSJ Goku himself, even SSG Goku. This makes absolutely no sense. This list is a popularity contest absent of objectivity. As proof, lesser-known animes with overwhelmingly OP characters aren't even listed. This isn't a list of the strongest. It's a vote for high school prom king and queen.
Literal combination of two of the strongest beings in Universe 7, apart from Beerus & Whis.
Smart. Badass. Powerful. Genius in battle. Cool. FTL (Faster Than Light). Makes good jokes. If he can go SSJ God, he will be undeniably the most powerful anime character ever.
It's ridiculous how many characters Frieza can beat that he's ranked below. In fact, he's probably able to wreck 50% of the characters in the top ten while in the Namek arc and in his base form, all while relaxing in his chair. Luffy? Naruto? Madara? Ichigo? Please. Frieza destroyed a whole planet with the point of a finger. He survived his attack that destroyed a whole planet while he was on it, as well as a Spirit Bomb to the face. Yes, he barely survived, but that's way better than Naruto, who barely survived an attack that just split the moon. And Frieza must be much stronger than that! Of course, there are many characters who can still defeat Frieza, but Naruto characters can sit at the bottom of this list in comparison to Dragon Ball series characters.
Frieza is the strongest and best villain in anime history. I just love how about 15 DBZ characters are in the top 40. They so deserve it because all DBZ characters are the strongest.
Ninjutsu Transformation
With the power of his Rinnegan, Hagoromo became the first person to master all five elemental nature transformations. He also obtained the power of Yin-Yang release. By using Yang chakra, the essence of physical energy, along with his Yin chakra, the essence of spiritual energy, Hagoromo had the ability to create form from nothingness with a mere thought to bring it to life. Hagoromo created the nine-tailed beasts from the Ten Tails' chakra by using this ability.
Suspecting that Indra or one of his reincarnations would eventually attempt to take Ashura's power for themselves, Hagoromo left behind a tablet detailing his history in an attempt to make them reconsider. Only those who possess the Rinnegan can fully decipher the contents of the tablet, while a reader with other Dojutsu, such as the Sharingan, can still partially interpret the information. However, unknown to him, Black Zetsu, a manifestation of his will through Madara, had altered the contents of his tablet. This allowed him to manipulate Indra's descendants, the Uchiha Clan, through the ages into resurrecting Kaguya and initiating the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a new power.
I was thinking about voting for Saitama, but if Kaguya gets serious, there's no chance for anyone to survive. I mean, she has endless chakra. She can teleport anyone and anything to another dimension without even lifting a finger. I know how overpowered Saitama, Whis, and Goku are, but at this level, it's not even about pure strength or destroying the universe with one hit.
She fully absorbs chakra, so no energy attacks work on her. She can change dimensions or open portals just in front of anyone's face. We actually haven't seen her power when she's really trying hard, since she was just playing around (thanks to Naruto plot armor) and got sealed.
So it actually appears that Kaguya's dimensions were as big as a planet, I assume. Well, it was confirmed in the anime, so there's no denying it. But why did you think Kaguya's dimensions were as large as a universe anyway? Also, are you going to send me the links to the databook? I want to confirm my suspicions.
In a show where blowing up a planet isn't practical, he has the ability to destroy Earth. If he were a DBZ character, every time he attacked someone, the planet would be left in a state of nothingness. I wish people would really think before they make these lists. Luffy, who is fifth on this list and that's questionable, felt the need to prove himself to this man. Come on, people.
He held the title of the strongest man in the world, punching so hard that he cracked the air. His punches can make earthquakes and cause tsunamis. The entire world was terrified when he was on the move. With the power he possesses, he could be a planet destroyer. Simply hearing his name was enough to deter even the world government. The world was his for the taking.
Yes, he is strong and badass. However, I'm pretty sure the current Yonko could beat him. Enemies keep getting stronger, so it makes sense for the other Yonko introduced after him to be even stronger. But we'll see.
He's a death god, which instantly elevates him above any mortal human. On top of that, he has never been defeated. He's only had his reiatsu temporarily sealed. Not even the other death gods know how to kill him, as he has become immortal after fusing with the Hogyoku. He's an unkillable spirit with more reiatsu than any other captain. Aizen could kill any human or humanoid without them even being able to see him.
Aizen is an all-powerful god who has the ability to control all five senses. Plus, he is immortal. How can anyone expect to fight him and win? Without Kisuke's special seal, Aizen probably would have defeated everyone and made his way to the Soul King. So, in my opinion, Aizen is the strongest.
He is so awesome! He is my favorite anime character. He can easily beat Madara, Naruto, and Sasuke. I bet that if he went up against Ichigo again, he would win.
He has the power to kill everything that goes near him, and then some. Even while he sleeps, he sends off waves that destroy even rocks. And it's magic, so Superman can't cheap-shot his way in here. He also has immense magic to defend himself, e.g., force fields, demon/monster summoning, and will-bending. Unless you can survive being dead (lovely paradox for you), then you can't beat him.
How come he is ranked 28 when he can just kill all living things around him with the blink of an eye? He is even far stronger than Natsu, and he is now over 400 years old. He's immortal, guys.
He's immortal, so yeah, he can kill anyone he cares about. He can also release a death stream that kills everyone within a certain distance. How can Goku defeat that?
I don't think Jiren is the most powerful, but he's easily one of them. Jiren has easily thrown powerful enemies through the toughest material in the multiverse. He's also on par with UI Omen Goku in his full power mode, who shook an infinite void just by powering up! Jiren was able to match the MUI form, which was even more powerful than UI Omen.
Jiren could destroy the multiverse if he wanted to.
Easily the strongest character in the tournament. He's basically what Goku wanted to be: the guy who got strong all on his own.
He almost outperformed Goku. He's stronger than a god and has Ultra Instinct. Finally, he's the best in his universe. Plus, he's stronger than Belmod.
Technically, Sasuke was only "stronger" than Itachi because Itachi, the "Weasel of Glory" himself, was already dying of a disease and willed his emotionally troubled brother to land the killing blow on him.
So yeah.
But I can't disagree with the fact that Sasuke, the "Porcupine-Overlord Uchiha," is either as strong as or stronger than Itachi.
Masashi Kishimoto said that Itachi could easily beat Madara Uchiha, so why is Madara considered stronger than Itachi? Additionally, the illusions created by Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan and his Genjutsu can't be outmatched by Naruto. Naruto can't even transform into Nine Tails before falling. One last thing: Itachi's Susanoo is the most powerful of all the Susanoo because of his shield that can deflect any kind of attack. We know that, and his sword can suppress any form of spiritual energy. So, for me, Itachi should replace Madara.
This guy is way too cool. How is he not first? He's amazing, strong, and good-looking. What else could you want?
This guy destroyed Future Trunks' timeline and acted as if nothing happened. No character has existed thus far who can defeat this guy. Once he was in a bad mood, so he destroyed six universes in one second and didn't give a damn about it.
Guys, he should be number one. Whis, Goku, or maybe everyone in the DBZ series will just fade by using his powers. Or maybe he'll just use his full power to destroy them. Besides, if he just makes them fade, it will be no fun for him.
Zeno, the Omni-King, is the most powerful anime character of all time. He can, and he did, destroy everything in the future timeline in Dragon Ball Super. No one can best him. It is a fact.
He's a God of Destruction. He competes with his brother Beerus, which is sometimes pretty funny and adds to his character. Finally, he's a God of Destruction over a universe.
He has to be in the top 5! He's as strong as Beerus and he is insane when he's mad. He would erase his team from existence just because they lost the tournament. Angry and strong, he is definitely the guy that no one would like to face.
