The world of anime is filled with action heroes that fight monsters and villains. Many times, anime characters have a usual arc that develops over time thus making the show interesting. Anime series like Gundam is known for their over-the-top machines that fight in space to protect Earth. On the other hand, series like DragonBall evolved from dealing with planetary monsters to destroying galaxies. All of these characters are portrayed to be extremely powerful to the point where human imagination cannot interpret the limits. However, some characters are just simply too powerful, so much so that comprehension of their capabilities becomes a joke. Be it brain power, muscles, or even fantasy forms, such characters defy the already exaggerated rules of anime characters. Here we have a list of such characters, including heroes and villains that just seem ridiculously powerful.
- Saitama
Nothing can be more powerful than killing an enemy in just one punch. Saitama is a hero like no other. His bald face, cartoonish expressions, and average body is the complete opposite of his potential. Viewers of the show get a look into his training regime and it feels like a mockery considering the results. Even in its second season, when other heroes seem to have a hard time dealing with scary monsters, Saitama can kill demons with a single punch. His powers almost feel comedic as his friends, who are shown to have tremendous powers, fall flat in comparison to a single punch by Saitama. The series’ entire development is based on Saitama and his exploration of limits and if killing an enemy with one punch isn’t ridiculously overpowered, then nothing is.
- Momonga
Momonga’s appearance is a very good indicator of how overpowered this monster from Overlord is. His skeletal body is capable of destroying worlds with a snap. In the series, his powers seem to be bound by nothing and the viewers get a very sharp look into his capabilities later on. Known as Ainz Ooal Gown, Momonga is regarded as one of the highest forms in his world and his magic casting abilities remain unmatched by any character in the series. Momonga seems to have an unlimited bank of powers that seem way too overpowered for a character in the series.
- Shiba Tatsuya
Throughout the series ‘The Irregular at Magic High School’, Shiba Tatsuya seems undefeated as his powers of a long-barreled Silver Series Horn makes for a magical gun that stores all of his destructive powers. His tactical use of the weapon including precision needles that affect the target’s nerves and bloodstream is one of the highlights of his powers. Later his weapon is named “Trident” and later adds more magical powers to his arsenal.
- Izayoi Sakamaki
The main protagonist of ‘Mondaiji Tachi Ga Isekai Kara Kuru Sou Desu Yo?’ is one of the best warriors who is known for defeating Gods and Demons alike. He does all this with so much ease that many think his slaying capabilities are as smooth as running butter through a knife. Izayoi is one of the top reigning members of the No Name community and one of the youngest characters that make it into this list.
- Alucard
Vampires from Hellsing deserve a special category by themselves. Vampires are generally extremely powerful. Add to it the ability to regenerate from fatal wounds like a decapitated head, make Alucard from the Hellsing series one of the most powerful characters. Surrounded by the familiars that he built from centuries of feeding on people, he controls one of the most deadly armies of vampires that the anime world has seen.
- Sora and Shiro
This sibling duo from ‘No Game No Life’ has recently made their way into the list. Unlike many characters in the list, Sora and Shiro don’t possess supernatural powers. Instead, their brains are what make them overpowered. Shiro is an extremely intelligent kid that is tasked with the responsibility of his sister and while she does make a mark on the series in some questionable ways, Shiro’s intelligence seems to have rubbed on her. Sora can predict things and courses of vents far into the future and with Shiro’s intelligence, the duo seems to have no competition in terms of brainpower.
- Goku
Goku had to make it to this list as being one of the highest regarded protagonists that know no limits to their powers. His journey starts with him discovering his first Saiyan form and goes on till his death in episode 71 of Dragon Ball Super, where he becomes a Saiyan god that has crossed several Super Saiyan stages and forms. Goku’s ability to learn skills at an extremely fast rate adds to his talent that makes him unparalleled. Summoning a spirit bomb that takes a part of life essence from every single living creature on Earth sure takes a lot of power.
- Gilgamesh
Fate/Zero has one of the best characters in the anime world and many agree that Gilgamesh has overpowered capabilities that arise from his half-god- half-human existence. The Archer class servant forms a contract with Kirei Kotomine while maintaining an obsession for Saber during his contract. What makes him so powerful is his ability to summon deadly attacks without even flinching. His sword later becomes the Excalibur and his ownership of Noble Phantasms of every hero spirit is seconded by none.
- Sosuke Aizen
Bleach is one of the most famous anime series of all time and it holds the title for good reason. An action-packed series that involves Shinigamis and their powers, the main protagonist, Ichigo Kurosaki, is naturally supposed to be everyone’s savior. But Sosuke Aizen takes the place as one of the most devastatingly powerful characters in the entire series. Shinigamis are known to have special powers that are unique to everyone. What makes Aizen extremely powerful is his ability to control all the five senses of multiple people. Meaning Aizen never needs to physically fight and instead hypnotizes his opponent to create illusions. Towards the end of the series, Aizen is swallowed by Hollow powers and even then Ichigo is unable to fully kill him. It takes Ichigo’s mentor, Kisuke Urahara to bind Aizen to an extremely powerful Kido spell to eliminate Aizen.
- Beerus
Another character from the DragonBall series, this Sphinx-faced part-human part-cat creature makes an entrance into the world being known as the God of Destruction. This is one of the only characters in the entire series that has the capabilities to kill any being in the universe, even Saiyans. Thus, the limit to the powers of Beerus is simply unknown. An entire movie is made around him and it takes a Super-Saiyan God to put his case to rest. Even then during his entire course, this seemingly large cat can give all the Saiyans a run for their money.
