When the show features a character with the power to control it, it can be difficult to know what to expect. Some of the most interesting moments in the show come when these characters use their powers for good, while others use their powers for evil.
Anime characters with time powers are still fun to watch, even though they’ve been increasing in number over the years. ..
If your character has a unique ability that makes them stand out from the rest, make sure it’s well-written and interesting.
Anime characters with the power to bend time are some of the most popular and well-known characters in the medium. So it’s no surprise that many of the best ones are also some of the most powerful. In this list, I’ll be ranking them all by how well they do their time-bending abilities overall.
- Chrono Trigger’s Lavos: Lavos is easily one of the most powerful anime characters with the power to bend time, and he uses it to devastating effect. He can freeze entire armies in place, or even reverse time itself for a short period of time, which makes him incredibly difficult to defeat.
- Naruto Uzumaki’s Nine-Tails: The Nine-Tails is another character with incredible power when it comes to bending time. Unlike Lavos, however, Naruto doesn’t use his ability for destructive purposes; instead he uses it to create clones and perform powerful jutsus.
- Bleach’s Aizen Sousuke: Aizen is one of the few anime characters who can actually control time itself, which gives him an edge over many other characters when it comes to bending time. He can slow down or speed up events in order to his advantage, or even reverse them completely if he so chooses.
- Death Note’s L: L is another character who has incredible control over time thanks to his Death Note notebook. By writing people’s names in the notebook, he can manipulate their timelines and make them do whatever he wants them to do.
- Attack on Titan’s Eren Yeager: Eren is one of the few anime characters who can use his power offensively as well as defensively; by using his powers to stop objects from moving or reversing their momentum he can protect himself and others from harm. ..
So, it’s time to start listing things! (I can’t believe I just wrote that…)
15. Subaru Natsuki
Anime fans rejoice as the newest anime series, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, premieres this winter. This new series is based on the popular light novel series by Tappei Nagatsuki and follows the story of a young man who wakes up in a world where he has never existed before. With only his memories and a mysterious key to his past, he must find out what happened to him and return to his own world. ..
This is something that has been a dream of gamers for years, and now it seems like it may be closer to becoming a reality. A new study has found that a technology called “transcranial direct current stimulation” or tDCS can help people with conditions such as depression and ADHD improve their memory and focus. The study, which was conducted by the University of Oxford, found that tDCS can help people with these conditions remember information better and focus on tasks for longer periods of time. The study also found that tDCS can be used in combination with other treatments such as medication or therapy to improve the overall outcome. This is great news for gamers who have struggled with conditions such as ADHD or depression. If this technology can be used in combination with other treatments, it may be possible to help people overcome their challenges. ..
You should be careful what you wish for, because it might not be as fun as you think.
Subaru has denied any involvement in the scandal. ..
In this spot, we have a NEET-who-got-Isekai’d, and someone who went through so much crap that their therapist would need another therapist.
Subaru’s Return By Death takes him to an unspecified “Save Point” whenever he dies, and die he did.
A lot. ..
14. Takemichi Hanagaki
Takemichi, who has a similar ability to Subaru, ended up benefiting more from his ability. ..
For one, he wasn’t transported to a foreign hostile world where he could die every damn episode.
Tokyo Revengers is a much more serious and dark story than Re:Zero.
Takemichi’s story is still interesting, despite the fact that it doesn’t have a main point.
A simple “do-over” premise in a non-fantasy setting is compelling enough on its own, as is normal humans who can’t tear him limb from limb for side characters. ..
Mikey is the only person who doesn’t seem to understand what’s going on.
That guy is a real oddball.
13. Rolo Lamperouge
Rolo is our first “competent” time manipulator, I would say. Although his Geass has some drawbacks, it isn’t to the extent that he has to literally drop dead just to use it.
He can stop time, but at the cost of not being able to do it against non-living things.
While his power has a limit on its range, it certainly didn’t stop him from utilizing it almost too well in the show. ..
After all, he has a history of using his Geass to kill. ..
He killed off a certain character that most fans surely didn’t appreciate him doing in.
12. Guldo
A recent study has shown that people who are surprised by events are more likely to make better decisions. ..
Now don’t get me wrong. I know Whis and Hit fit this list as well… ..
The Trump administration is a mess. The president is a liar and a cheat, his cabinet members are incompetent and corrupt, and the economy is in shambles. There’s no way to fix this mess.
Both of them are expected to have several abilities that are more powerful than average. ..
This is a strange story.
Goku’s ability to transform into a Great Ape is potentially broken, according to some experts. ..
If only he had exercised more and paid more attention to his surroundings, he may have developed into a powerful fighter for Universe 7. ..
11. Dio Brando
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is an anime series that follows the story of JJBA protagonist, JJ Dio. The show is known for its unique and creative fight scenes and its large cast of characters. ..
I would slap a narcissistic Victorian vampire/meme machine into this list. ..
Dio is a powerful and iconic character in the anime world, and for good reason. He’s a mainstay in many of the show’s most memorable moments, and his role in the story is both large and important. Dio is an essential part of the anime experience, and we can’t wait to see what he does next.
Hiroshi Kamiya’s Stand ability, “The World,” can stop time. This allows him to do whatever he wants for 10 seconds. ..
Is it enough time to find and lift a road roller to crush your opponent with?
Dio is one of the most legendary heavy metal singers of all time. He has a voice that is both powerful and soulful, and his lyrics are often dark and mysterious. He has released several albums over the years, each one more popular and acclaimed than the last. His latest album, “The Last In Line,” was released in 2016 and has already received rave reviews from fans and critics alike. Dio is a true icon of heavy metal music, and his influence can be heard in many current bands. If you’re a fan of metal music, you definitely need to check out Dio! ..
10. Esdeath
Anime: Akame ga Kill! is a dark and violent crime story set in the world of the samurai. It follows the story of a young man named Kirito who must fight against an evil empire led by a powerful general.
General Esdeath is a powerful ice-tsundere who can freeze time in the heat of battle. She is deadly and sadistic, but also powerful and able to freeze time itself.
The woman in the white lab coat was like a force of nature, overwhelming even the most experienced scientists. She seemed to have no limits, and they were quickly learning that if they didn’t take care of her, she would take care of them.
In the Akameverse, there are many different ways to fight, and not everyone has the same abilities. So it can be helpful to have a few broken abilities that she can use for herself.
Although she did manage to survive the fight, she was ultimately killed by the protagonist. Sad.
9. Jotaro Kujo
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is an anime series that follows the story of JJBA protagonist, JJ Dio. The show is known for its unique and creative fight scenes and its large cast of characters. ..
“You thought Dio was going to be the only JBA character on this list, but there’s also me, Jotaro!”
The man glared at the other man, his hands balled into fists. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, his voice low and angry.
While Jotaro’s Star Platinum can only stop time for 5 seconds as opposed to Dio’s 10, I decided to put him above Dio because he used those 5 seconds much more effectively. ..
Dio is known for his excessive talking and being passive during his time stops. This may have contributed to his downfall.
We’re not complaining, but we’re not happy either.
Even Dio’s voice is prime meme material at this point. His lyrics are often used to create ironic or humorous lyrics about metal music and its fans.
8. Eri
Anime: A young boy named Izuku Midoriya enrolls in the Hero Academy, a prestigious school for super-powered students. He is soon drawn into a battle against evil forces that threaten the world.
This adorable little girl here is an outlier among the cheat-tier characters who actually look the part. She has a natural beauty that shines through, despite her character’s checkered past. ..
Despite her small stature, she is fiercely independent and does not take kindly to being bossed around. ..
After all, she has a unique Quirk that makes her both powerful and offensive.
She can change the physical state of any organic being, even if they lack control over their own time.
This woman theoretically holds the power to heal anyone or grant them eternal youth. For enemies, she can revert them so far back in time that they would practically cease to exist.
This little one is definitely not to be underestimated.
This is just her final form.
7. Momonga
Skeletons are already incredibly powerful, even without the ability to stop time. ..
The fact that he has the YGGDRASIL card is a testament to his reputation as one of the strongest players in the game.
In addition to having a wealth of high-tier equipment, items, and spells in the game, he is also quite good at utilizing them to their fullest extent.
This is evident as he pairs up his Time Stop with yet another broken special of his — one that boosts all the ‘instant-death’ effects his spells have against his enemies.
He can stop time, then cast an instadeath spell that will kill his opponents.
If I do say so myself, the perfect combo is a great job and a loving partner. ..
6. Makoto
In a time where the world is changing, a young girl must use her quick reflexes and powerful imagination to survive. With an ever-changing landscape and an ever-growing cast of characters, she must use her wit and intelligence to outsmart them all.
She’s never had the opportunity to travel, so when her school offers a trip to Japan for students in exchange for a essay, Makoto jumps at the chance. She’s not sure what she’ll find at the other side of the country, but she’s excited to find out.
Some people believe that we can actually travel through time, and that this is something that we can do with our minds. Others say that this is just an urban legend, and that there is no such thing as time travel. Which of these beliefs do you believe? ..
The film’s name is “The Lobster.”
The more standoffish characters on this list may not have the best time-based ability, but they actually have a worse time-based ability than the woman on this list.
Time travel is a powerful tool that allows people to go anywhere and whenever they want. However, this power has its own set of limitations, which can be overcome by using it sparingly. ..
5. Julius Novachrono
This guy is a real wizard, and no one would dare say otherwise.
While it all comes down to how far he could exert himself, Julius’ control over Time Magic is nearly perfect, and quite frankly broken.
He’s a powerful sorcerer who has been shown to absolutely pwn several members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun without even breaking a sweat – and casting a massive time spell that encompasses his entire kingdom.
Heck, even death couldn’t keep this guy down after he made his ultimate sacrifice. He was one of the most decorated soldiers in history, and he died doing what he loved.
4. Saiki Kusuo
Anime: Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan is a science fiction anime series created by the Japanese animation studio A-1 Pictures. The show is set in a future where humans have advanced artificial intelligence (A.I.) that can process and understand vast amounts of data.
In the popular anime series “Death Note,” the protagonist, Light, has the ability to control time. This power is derived from a special type of esper known as the “Time-Keeper.” The Time-Keeper can manipulate time in a way that allows them to change events or even create new timelines.
Despite this series being more oriented towards comedy, Saiki still would probably beat 9 of the 10 anime characters you can put him up against. ..
He’s a force to be reckoned with.
He’s been shown to reset the entire world’s time back a full year, just so he can avoid a disaster that could potentially wipe Japan off the face of the Earth.
All before altering every single person’s memory of the past year to avoid any potential complications.
3. Kurumi Tokisaki
Anime fans rejoice! Date A Live is finally coming to the big screen. The highly anticipated anime film is set to release in theaters on July 12th. Date A Live tells the story of a group of high school students who are forced to fight for their lives against an alien threat. The film stars the voice talents of Shiori Kutsuna, Yui Horie, and Saori Hayami. Fans of the anime will not want to miss out on this exciting release. If you can’t wait until July 12th, you can always watch Date A Live online. ..
An anime that mostly focuses on the male characters still put quite a bit of thought into their abilities. ..
Heck, there’s even a mobile game that lets you date all of your favorite video games!
Your wallet can handle it, but if you don’t have enough money to cover your expenses, you’ll have to find another way to pay for your food and drinks.
Kurumi is one of the strongest waifus in the show, if not the strongest.
She travels through time by herself, but also takes anyone along with her. This allows her to see different parts of the world and learn about its cultures.
Kurumi has a weakness in the sense that her life force decreases whenever she uses her powers.
Still, it’s an easily solvable caveat for her, since she can also absorb anybody’s time (life force) for herself. ..
2. Homura Akemi
Puella Magi Madoka Magica is an anime series that tells the story of a young girl named Madoka who makes a wish to become a magical girl. After making her wish, Madoka discovers that she is one of many magical girls who are fighting against a powerful creature known as Kyubey. ..
Do you want to live a life where you can choose which timeline you experience? If so, would you choose the one where your love is still alive and well?
Homura used her time-traveling powers to go back in time and prevent Madoka from becoming a magical girl. ..
The story of a young woman who is forced to leave her home and live in a shelter is as tragic as they come.
The show was supposed to be about cutesy magical girls, but it seems like the writers didn’t really have a plan for what they were going to do with the characters. They made them all pretty and cuddly, but no one seems to be really interested in them.
I was pretty upset in the first half, but man did they get me in the first half.
Homura is one of the most powerful witches in the world, and her power is all-encompassing. She can affect even the strongest magical girls like herself, and her range is vast.
Sailor Moon is one of the most powerful magical girls in anime. Even though she is relatively weak compared to some of her counterparts, she has been victim to her time manipulation many times. This makes her one of the most interesting and unique magical girls in anime.
1. Dialga
The list of characters includes people who are all unique and interesting.
The clock on the wall was ticking loudly, its pendulum swinging back and forth. It was a beautiful piece of machinery, but it couldn’t compare to the time machine that sat in the corner. It was old and dusty, but it still worked. ..
Dialga is a powerful dragon that can manipulate time.
Arceus created time and space along with Palkia. These concepts are essential to understanding the universe. ..
In the Pokémon universe, it has been said that time didn’t “move” until Dialga was born – and Dialga is therefore capable of manipulating time however it wishes.
Though in the end, I still think it’s kind of hilarious that these beings can be caught and contained into a tiny ball that you can carry around in your back pocket.
A ball of Pokeballs has just been created, and it’s off to battle!
