Anime has produced some of the best characters, and some of them are way more powerful than we probably expect. So, today we are going to put 15 of the most powerful popular anime characters, who are the strongest among all.
1. Zeno
Anime – Dragon Ball
The god of gods in the Dragon Ball multiverse, the Omni-King, Zeno, has an innocent and childlike personality, and the true extent of his abilities is still unknown. Whis, once mentioned Zeno destroyed six of eighteen original universes due to his irritating mood.
Even, all the Gods of Destruction fear to talk against or with him out of fear. They can destroy any universe in a moment they wish, and that makes them easily picked as the strongest character in Anime.
2. Saitama
Anime – One Punch Man
There is no doubt of Saitama is the strongest superhero in the One Punchman universe with his immeasurable strength and stamina. He is also the strongest hero in anime as well, as his one single serious punch is enough to kill any opponent.

3. Kaguya Otsutsuki
Anime – Naruto: Shippuden
Kaguya came out to be the final villain in the Naruto Shippuden series. However, it is debatable if she is the strongest among all known Otsutsuki clan members.
However, she is right now the only surviving member of her clan as she was sealed by both Naruto and Sasuke, as defeating her was almost impossible because of her multidimensional travel, powers of flight, and mastery over the elements. In the Boruto series, it came out that she was not as bad as her other fellow clan members, as she actually loved Earth and the people of it once.
4. Alucard
Anime – Hellsing

In the current arc, Rimuru is not the strongest being but will later become the strongest, as the light novel version has suggested.
6. Aizen
Anime – Bleach
Aizen coming out as a villain is one of the biggest betrayals shown in anime. But his power cannot be ignored in the series. He almost defeated all the members of Gotei 13 easily with his Kyōka Suigetsu.

7. Ichigo Kurosaki

9. Yusuke Urameshi

10. Father
Anime – Fullmetal Alchemist

In the anime, many assassins came to kill Koro Sensi, but no one was able to defeat him in combat.

At first, Eren was not the strongest Titans in the series. However, his desire of killing all the titans drove him to be the strongest Titan by grabbing the power of the Original Titan.

On the other hand, All For One accidentally invented the One For All quirk while giving it to his little brother. Throughout different times, he fought against different successors of One For All and ended up becoming the arch-nemesis of each One For All user. His ability to steal others’ quirk made him the wielder of multiple quirks at the same time. Right now, All For One is probably not the strongest villain after Shigaraki’s quirk modification. But his Battle IQ and experience give him more edge to be the strongest in the My Hero Academia universe.
15. Mob
