While some characters are there to just make us laugh or to make us cry, it’s usually the badass showstopper characters that make the audience sit up and take notice. ..
- Naruto Uzumaki
- Luffy
- Sasuke Uchiha
- Goku Black
- Thor
We’ve got some badass individuals over here, so be careful.
30. Ken Kaneki
Kaneki is one of the most interesting characters in the manga-only tier list. He is a loner who has a lot of secrets and is very mysterious. He is also very brave and has a lot of guts.
Despite the first and second season of the anime giving us plenty of material, we still have much to learn about this badass ghoul.
Kaneki’s hair changes from black to white in a pivotal moment that sets him apart from the other students in the hall.
Jason’s fight with him was probably my favorite, and it alone solidified him as the end-of-list pick for this ranking. ..
29. Baki Hanma
When it comes to the proportions of testosterone per pound of body mass, this dude even makes the JoJos look average.
Baki is a muscle machine, capable of doing anything short of flying. ..
He has a commanding presence that is activated whenever he gives someone a slightly stern look. ..
The fear factor in this show has sent armed thugs running away plenty of times throughout the course of the show. This is for good reason, as they are afraid of being killed or captured.
28. Yami Sukehiro
In this case, the samurai character is short and stout, with a deep voice and a reputation for being outspoken.
Yami never got the memo and just looks like a slightly deflated Baki.
He’s a badass who is always ready to fight.
The man never seems to worry much in battle, as he always seems to know that he can exceed his limits and look any foe in the eye if given enough time.
When he uses dark shadow magic and a katana, it’s truly a beauty. The combination of the two is nothing short of awesome.
27. Ghislaine Dedoldia
Anime: A story of a Reincarnation-obsessed individual who is forced to work as a slave in order to save his family.
Although Ghislaine initially just seemed as a fan service character, she quickly became one of my favorites in the show. She is funny, engaging, and has a great sense of humor. She also seems to have a lot of depth and is not just a one-dimensional character.
This is because the main character is a badass who doesn’t let anything get in her way.
She’s an incredible warrior and never really needs backup from anyone. She also genuinely doesn’t care for men, but also doesn’t hate them.
She is a fierce warrior who will instantly decapitate anyone who touches her employer. She also went to college to broaden her skills. ..
The main point of this article is that even though the actress is known for her butt, she is also a powerful and hardworking woman.
26. Firo Prochainezo
Firo was dripping with swag when he came into frame.
He’s an excellent fighter who can both kick your ass and look elegant while doing it. ..
He always looks dashing and his choice of waifus is definitely S-tier.
I was really surprised that there were so few characters who saw the waifu stonks that were present with Ennis. He always comes off as a gentleman and a true mafia member at the same time, which is pretty badass.
25. Zoro Roronoa
Zoro is a legendary swordsman who has been fighting top-tier opponents for decades. ..
He is one of the more serious members of the crew, and you can always count on him to keep the situation under control. ..
His stoic demeanor and sick skill with the blade make him a guaranteed hit with any shounen lover.
When the third sword comes out, I get serious Zabuza flashbacks and simply know that I’m in for a ride.
24. Hawks
Anime: A young boy named Izuku Midoriya is a rising star in the Hero Academy, but he’s not content with just being a average student. He wants to be the best, and he’s determined to make his dream come true.
- Izuku Midoriya
- All Might
- Ochaco Uraraka
- Tsuyu Asui
- Shoto Todoroki ..
The fifth season of the Atlanta Hawks is off to a great start. With new head coach Mike Budenholzer in charge, the team has looked to improve on their past seasons performance. Right away, Dabi and Stain have stepped up their game. Overhaul has also shown flashes of his potential and is looking to take his game to the next level.
We all knew he was going to be an interesting player from the moment he was introduced, as he gave little regard to the usual hero ideal and just wanted to work in the shadows. ..
He’s also immensely powerful and versatile. But it’s his nonchalant attitude and mysterious past that really had me hooked on his character. ..
23. Garou
One Punch Man is an anime series that follows the adventures of a young man named Goku who is forced to fight in a tournament to save his home country from destruction.
I enjoyed the second season of One Punch Man a lot.
The biggest selling point of Garou was that he more closely resembled a typical shounen protagonist than Saitama ever did. ..
The fighter is a force to be reckoned with, and every fight feels like a new challenge. He never gives up, and his tenacity makes each one feel like a new battle.
Garou is a badass who mixes martial arts and combat skills to make himself stand out. People need to be more aware of this fighter and stop sleeping on him.
22. Ban
Anime: The Seven Deadly Sins is a dark and suspenseful story about the dangers of sin. It follows the story of a young girl, who is forced to confront her sins and make a choice between them.
Ban had the best introduction in the show, with the only possible exception being Full Pringle Escanor. ..
We see this dude getting tortured, appearing lifelessly into the distance. But the second he hears Meliodas is coming, he just busts out and uses his enemy’s attack to get a fresh shave before his big date with his friend. ..
The group of students then proceeds to demolish the entire castle through the power of arm-wrestling. ..
He has a great smile, amazing eyes, and an incredible sense of humor. He’s also really smart and articulate. It’s hard not to be drawn to him. ..
21. Rokurouta Sakuragi
This guy is one of the rare cases where a character was so nice and borderline angelic that it actually made him look like the biggest badass around. I’m serious! ..
On his first day in prison, a new inmate quickly made friends with his cellmates, vowing to protect them from the corruption that was rampant in the facility. ..
He initially beat them up to prove a point, but that just makes him even more badass. ..
If you want to be a badass, maybe look up to this guy.
20. Sinbad
Magi: Adventure of Sinbad is an anime that tells the story of Sinbad, a sailor who travels the world in search of treasures. ..
Sinbad is a difficult guy to peg because he’s always on the move.
But underneath the surface, there is a man who is trying to create a nation where everyone can be at home. He seems like the perfect candidate for the role of president, until you look closer and see that he’s actually trying to create a society where he can be the only one in control.
The other hand, he’s a god when it comes to power. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself and his ideals.
People who are interesting to watch often have something unique about them. This makes them more interesting to watch, and can make people want to learn more about them. ..
He was a man with a vision and an unyielding determination.
The actor’s powers always look cool onscreen, and his more serious moments were highlights of both this show and the sequel. ..
19. Shinya Kougami
In a series like “Sherlock,” the good cop/bad cop dynamic is a key part of the story. The bad cop is always trying to prove himself to the detective, while the good cop tries to protect his friends and solve crimes.
A popular anime series that has been around for many years, Psycho-Pass is a dark and suspenseful show that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
In this article, we will explore the different strategies that the bad cop might use in order to get what they want. We will also look at how to spot the bad cop and avoid them in future interactions.
Shinya is a prime example of this trope. He’s always successful, even when he doesn’t seem to be able to do anything.
The show’s badboy energy is evident from the very beginning, and is what helped it stand out from other series.
18. Thorfinn
Who doesn’t enjoy a good revenge story?
The bar was especially fun to watch as the guy had no chill.
Although it seemed odd at first for him to hang out with the very people he swore to kill, that’s quickly pushed to the side as we get to see him become a badass warrior.
Despite his small stature, Thorfinn easily took on dozens of armed guards without even breaking a sweat. ..
He brought back the severed heads of generals to sell at a high price on the black market.
His brutality was shocking, but also very impressive.
17. Hyakkimaru
Hyakkimaru is a low-ranking samurai who has been kicked out of his family’s prestigious household. He’s determined to make a name for himself, even if it means working hard and being mean to everyone he meets.
This is because the character was given a hand that was completely devoid of anything we humans take for granted, like sight, pain, limbs, and even skin.
He is a complete badass who can take on literal demons and entire army squads by himself.
He seems to enjoy killing, but it never seems like he enjoys it. He always seems to be in control of the moment and doesn’t hesitate when it’s time to land the killing blow.
When he goes berserk, it’s awesome and terrifying at the same time. ..
16. Roy Mustang
Brotherhood is an anime series that follows the story of a group of young boys who are forced to fight in a war against an alien race. The boys are forced to use their own strength and skills to survive, and must use their teamwork and intelligence to defeat their enemies.
With such a well-rounded cast, it’s no wonder that fans of the anime are eagerly awaiting new episodes.
Roy was one of my favorite characters in the series. He was the type to usually slack off and appear a bit harsh, all while being extremely caring and thoughtful on the inside.
He was a powerful alchemist who could snap people out of existence.
In a fight that went down in history as one of the most satisfying arcs in anime, the protagonist faced off against someone who had always been a thorn in his side. The fight was intense and it ended with the protagonist prevailing.
15. Akabane Karma
Karma was a hit in my opinion, as he finally brought some edge to the mostly PG-rated class.
The training to become assassins is of great importance, as these individuals will be responsible for taking out targets. ..
He always taught outside of the box, and wasn’t afraid of anything if it meant achieving his goal. Even jumping off a cliff was fair game.
We see that he’s an incredible fighter and that he has a few steps ahead of the average assassin. This makes him extremely fun to watch.
Nagisa and Heiji had a tense but successful fight, which resulted in Nagisa getting good guy points and Heiji getting badass points.
14. Angelo Lagusa
In my book, I talk about how I enjoy mob-related revenge stories. But I forgot to mention that these stories are an instant must-watch for readers.
Angelo was born to be a mobster because of his cool temperament and deductive reasoning.
He was also quite the manipulator, as he laid low right below his enemies’ noses, waiting for the ideal opportunity. ..
Angelo delivered quality content when stakes were high in the series finale. I was glad to see the series come to a close on a high note. ..
13. Izaya Orihara
I enjoy clever characters. Light, Lelouch, and Johan are just a few that come to mind. ..
The people I usually meet in the world of technology are usually not very impressive. They don’t often get their hands dirty and are just average guys or girls.
Izaya is a skilled tactician and fighter, which makes him a pleasant surprise. ..
Although he usually avoided confrontation, he was completely capable of whipping out his switch-blade and duking it out with one of the strongest dudes in the entire series.
He was both a threat and a cool guy.
12. Chrollo
Anime: Hunter x Hunter (2011) is a popular anime that follows the story of a young boy named Gon and his friends, Hunter and Killua. The anime is full of action, adventure, and humor.
In the first scene, Chrollo kidnaps and tortures a young girl in order to get information from her. He is truly evil and I was terrified when he did this. The second scene is where he kills a man for no reason other than because he felt like it was necessary. Chrollo is truly unhinged and I found it quite disturbing.
In his first example, the journalist describes a fight that he took on by himself and emerged unscathed.
The real selling point of the musician was when he conducted a symphony of chaos, as he calmly jammed out to some Mozart while his gang brought chaos to the city. ..
This one scene in Chrollo: The Living World had such a high badass coefficient that it would have qualified him for this list by itself, even if it was his only appearance.
11. Spike Spiegel
Spike has a very dualistic appeal. He seems like a completely different person when he’s working vs. when he has free time. ..
Lately, there’s been nothing to do for John, so he’s resorted to spending his time lying around and breathing slowly. This makes him quite relatable. ..
When he’s on the job, he’s shown to be incredibly tenacious. And his fighting style does more than just homage to the likes of Bruce Lee - he has some master class choreography. ..
The popular anime watcher, known for his consistent and passionate support of the genre, has recently passed away.
10. Giorno Giovanna
In JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind, the story follows Jotaro Kujo as he travels through time to stop a powerful evil force from taking over the world. Along the way, Jotaro must face off against various enemies, including a mysterious being known as The Phantom of the Opera.
Part five of the JoJo series is set in a world of mobsters, and from the get-go I knew it was going to be amazing. What could possibly go wrong with a season focused on criminals? ..
I was not prepared for the level of coolness Giorno was going to bring to the table.
In the original game, Sonic the Hedgehog, Eggman had a plan to take over the world by using a giant robot called Death Egg II. Sonic was able to stop Eggman and his robots before they could destroy the world. However, in Sonic Unleashed, it is revealed that Eggman has been working on a new project called Death Egg III. If completed, this project will create an artificial sun that will cause all life on Earth to die. Sonic is able to stop Death Egg III before it can be completed and save the world once again.
He never backed down from a challenge. He was extremely creative (and sometimes brutal) when it came down to getting the W for his gang.
9. Mugen
Mugen is a character with a lot of potential, as he can be either a lazy womanizer or a sword prodigy depending on the situation. ..
He was a fighter with a unique fighting style that was often seen as creative and raw. His maneuvers often looked more like hip-hop routines than life-saving techniques.
Samurai are typically blunt and unemotional. However, this samurai was able to keep his cool and follow the typical samurai stereotypes. ..
The guy was out here living his best life, and you have to love him for it.
8. Sukuna Ryoumen
I’ve seen plenty of shounen series use the “demon/monster inside of the protagonist” trope. This trope is often used to create suspense and to add excitement to the story. ..
Sukuna is a unique individual who is always one step ahead.
This is because Sukuna was terrifying, showcasing multiple times how little of a damn he gave for the life of his host.
He used some pretty underhanded tactics to get his way.
He’s a bit of a jerk, but he’s also quite badass when it comes to fighting. He has a lot of confidence and is very strong, which often leads to some incredibly badass scenes.
This is how you do the trope justice! Take note of the following tips and techniques to make your writing more effective and interesting.
7. Alucard
If you’re into dark and gritty characters, Alucard is probably one of the top choices.
This is because he feels like a terrifying god in his universe, playing with his pray before sending them into oblivion.
He was an imposing figure, his outfit custom-made to show off his badass powers. He was the star of every scene he was in, ruling with an iron fist. ..
He had a very off-putting attitude, often sounding like a little troll that’s just amusing himself – even when multiple lives hang in the balance.
6. Levi
The anime Attack on Titan is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed shows of all time. It follows the story of a group of people who are forced to live in a walled city after a giant creature known as a titan destroys most of humanity. ..
I was still amazed by how consistently Levi managed to blow me away throughout the show. He was always able to make me laugh, and he always had a great sense of humor.
There is no comparison when it comes to strength. ..
When it comes to dedication, few can stand in the ring with him. He is a fighter who never backs down from a challenge, and he will never give up. He is a true professional, and he will do whatever it takes to win.
The main problem with “The Crown” is that its characters are shallow and one-dimensional. ..
The director’s realistic outlook on life and ability to make scenes filled with bloodshed have made him a popular choice for Hollywood productions. ..
5. Hisoka Morow
Anime: Hunter x Hunter (2011) is a popular anime that follows the story of a young boy named Gon and his friends, Hunter and Killua. The anime is full of action, adventure, and humor.
I love characters who are morally ambiguous. These characters allow me to explore different sides of the same issue, and to see the world from a new perspective. ..
The company keeps me on my toes by constantly changing its policies. ..
And Hisoka is a prime example of an archetype. ..
This killer clown is fascinating to look at because he only really lives for himself.
In a story about a madman with a need for murder, the author provides an interesting perspective on the character. The madman is characterized as being condescending and often flamboyant, which makes for some great plot twist.
You can never tell what he’s thinking. And I find it nearly impossible to imagine Hisoka being in any other state than “badassery.” ..
4. Guts
Guts is a giant, powerful swordsman who has fought in many wars and has a deep understanding of the sword. He is skilled in many martial arts, including fencing, kendo, and jiu-jitsu. He also has a great sense of honor and justice, and is known for his fierce fighting style.
The man was literally born from a corpse, and his life spiraled out of control from there. ..
The latest craze in manga reading is the “manga scanlation” phenomenon. Manga scanlation is the act of downloading and sharing scanned versions of manga chapters online without the permission of the copyright holder. Manga scanlation has been around for a while, but it has recently become more popular due to the availability of digital scanners and platforms like Google Drive that make it easy to share files. Critics say that manga scanlation undermines the industry’s ability to generate revenue by stealing content that is already available free online. Supporters argue that it allows fans who can’t afford to buy manga to still enjoy its stories. Manga scanlation is a growing trend that has raised concerns among some industry observers about its impact on copyright law and the viability of manga as an economic enterprise. ..
He is a legend in his own world, and time and time again he manages to stay on top.
This man is tenacious in his pursuit of justice. He never backs down from a fight, no matter the cost.
3. Joutarou Kuujou
In JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders, the story follows Jotaro Kujo, a high school student who is part of a secret organization known as the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. The group is made up of powerful individuals who are able to use their powers to fight evil.
There’s no one in the world who can compare to Giorno Giovanna when it comes to badassery. ..
He’s the brooding badboy who has managed to stay in that role throughout the entire series.
He’s got an imposing presence. And even if he only looks at someone for a second, they would be pretty much silenced. ..
He is a skilled strategist, often using his intelligence to outmaneuver his opponents. ..
Some of his plans require so much courage that you really have to doubt his cannon age for a second.
2. Satoru Gojo
I feel like Gojo goes against nearly everything I’ve defined as being “badass characteristics” in this list.
Gojo is a very silly and immature person who often behaves like a child after eating 300 grams of sugar. ..
The man in the white shirt is powerful.
This fighter is a force to be reckoned with. He is able to take down his opponents with ease, and his fighting style is mesmerizing to watch. ..
He knows that he has to be careful about what he does, as his plans for the future may not be as carefree as he thought they would be.
1. Itachi Uchiha
I found myself drawn to Itachi, the character, more than any other in Naruto. ..
Even though he had such limited screen time, his presence was always felt.
This dude is just badass. ..
Itachi is a powerful and iconic character in the Naruto series, and his fighting style and visual design are unmatched. He is an unyielding fighter who uses his ironclad will and ideology to fight for justice. His fighting technique is also highly effective, and he can use his unique vision to plan and execute attacks quickly.
Sasuke Uchiha has always been a step ahead of the game, even as he was the ultimate bad guy in Sasuke’s arc. He then became the unsung hero of an entire generation, and continues to be one of the most influential people in the world today.
I think it’s only fair to crown him with the number one spot.
