The dudes are a big part of the story, but they’re not the only ones at play.
How many anime fans can leave an anime binge feeling either inspired to live a better life, or feeling significantly lacking in self-worth?
Our favorite muscular anime characters of all time are those who can flex their biceps and show off their muscles in the best way possible. From the tough guys in action shows to the more delicate characters in romantic comedies, these anime characters have shown us that you don’t need to be big to be strong. So let’s get started and see who makes the cut!
20. Yami Sukehiro
I think that a person could pull off his physique if they worked hard and ate right.
It is possible to cater your entire lifetime to it. ..
The Black Bull’s captain is known for being a force to be reckoned with, and it was no surprise that he broke through many walls in anger. ..
He has a sword, so he can fight with more strength and power. This makes him more effective in fights against other heavyweight opponents.
Asta is likely to overtake this spot one day, but for now, it is for Yami. ..
19. Menthuthuyoupi
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.
Menthuthuyoupi beats out Yami strictly because of his impressive number of biceps. ..
I’m not saying that the man is a bad person. In fact, I think he’s a great guy. But his abs are so strong, they could grate cheese on. ..
He doesn’t have the muscle mass or strength of some of the other characters on this list.
He can change his body quite a bit, but he’s not just limited to the physical. He can also change his mindset, or even his personality. That’s something else.
He’s a scary looking man with a sleep paralysis demon look.
18. Bulat
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.
I thought that Bulat’s physique was possible, I really did.
Until he took off his shirt once, he didn’t really show off too often. But when he did, he made sure to target my self-esteem.
This list is based on my personal opinions and biases. I’ll be giving out bonus points to justify this list. And to shield my ego from criticism. ..
Bulat is the biggest sweetheart and rockstar of the group. His hairstyle and bromance are some of the coolest I have seen in a while. ..
17. Lordgenome
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is one of the most popular anime series ever made. It tells the story of a young man named Simon who is trying to save the world from an evil force known as Lordgenome. The series is full of action, adventure, and humor. ..
I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that my new inspiration for getting to the gym was a king character from a children’s story.
The man stands at almost seven feet tall and has the strength to toss around a mech. A small one, but still a mech.
The most bizarre thing is, he’s estimated to be one thousand years old.
That means that he’s past his prime at this point and will not be able to continue performing at his current level for much longer.
The man in question is in his early twenties and looks very good for his age. He cannot push up, so he must not be very strong.
16. Thorkell the Tall
The man’s name is John, but his middle name is Scrawny.
He towers above us, his broad shoulders and muscular arms clearly visible. His eyes seem to glow with an inner fire, as if he is a man possessed. ..
For a show that is mostly based in reality, having him toss tree logs around already shows how heavily he scales to the other characters. ..
The man is heavy, weighing almost 400lbs.
That’s not what he’s throwing around.
15. Guts
Guts was the best fighter in the world, pound for pound. But these guys beat him out pretty easily.
Guts is absolutely shredded.
We all assumed he was big and strong because he’s always in battle and fighting for his life. Not to mention, he’s one of the most testosterone-filled guys around.
The manga’s volume 9 and 10 have answered many questions that fans had been asking for years.
The man is built like a Greek god, except his guts are all over the place.
He might not have the pure muscle mass of someone like Mr. X, but he makes up for it with his build.
14. Rider
Rider, the young man, has a dad bod. Zeus, the god of thunder and lightning, is responsible for giving men their dad bods in the first place.
I mean, I could definitely see him being a mean guy. Or getting his servants to be mean.
I find it more likely that he could one-shot a bear than that he could shoot it.
The man loved his wine. He was able to hold his liquor while also holding onto those gains, which is impressive. ..
Despite your repeated failures, you continue to try. ..
13. Semyon Brezhnev
This Russian is not a fan of showing off his body.
However, if we compare Shizuo to other men, we can see that he is abnormally strong. ..
Shizuo is the only one who can’t just blow away.
That, combined with his extremely large stature and the fact he has a very “peculiar” past, leads me to believe that under that restaurant wardrobe, Mister Simon is absolutely endowed.
Brain’s Base is asking for email addresses to send them confirmation on a theory that has been burning for years. ..
12. Escanor
Anime: The Seven Deadly Sins is a series of anime films that explore the dark side of human nature. The films are set in different worlds, each with its own set of sins, and explore the consequences of these actions.
Escanor is not on this list.
This is a quote from the poet Rudyard Kipling. Kipling is famous for his poem “The White Man’s Burden.” The phrase means that when the sun rises, so does his spot on the horizon.
Escanor towers over Estarossa, and just seeing how much he’s tall and muscular makes him seem even more imposing.
He seems to get even more shredded when that one special minute comes into play. And we have seen that it’s not just for show… I mean, no one has succeeded at even picking up his axe. And yet he swings it around carelessly. ..
Ban and Meliodas break into a castle by arm wrestling, and if we scale them to Ban and Meliodas, then they could punch a hole in the Earth.
11. Ira Gamagoori
Anime: Kill la Kill is a series of anime television shows that follows the adventures of a group of girls who are forced to fight in a tournament to determine the new champion of Japan.
Mako is a powerful man, and I never truly grasped just how massive he was until he sat next to him.
He was also shirtless so that made him look more attractive.
The man is almost 9 feet tall, and yet he still looks like a Minecraft skin. He must have been built like that because at that height, you would need to be really strong to not look jacked.
The saddest part is that the man is only 19 years old.
The man has a lot of room to grow, even after thirty.
I will call him man because he is the only one who can beat me at anything.
10. Joseph Joestar
Anime fans rejoice! Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is back and better than ever! This time, the action-packed series takes a break from its usual story arcs to explore some truly bizarre and exciting new ones. With new characters, exciting plot twists, and an all-new ending, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure is sure to keep you entertained for hours on end.
It’s no secret that JoJo’s men are the best in anime. So it’s fitting that the original was the most pumped of all.
In the old days, strength was all about raw power. People would use whatever tools they had at their disposal to get the job done. Nowadays, we have stands that help people build their strength and improve their performance. This has led to a more balanced and healthy society where people are able to do more with less.
I guess good breathing techniques are good.
Joseph was very adept at both of these things. So not only could he blast Dracula away with some sunlight beams, but his single bicep is much larger than my entire head.
9. Alex Louis Armstrong
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.
I was originally going to put Sloth here because the guy is massive, and also being that lazy and that jacked at the same time is every man’s nightmare.
I had to go for Lance Armstrong because he was the best cyclist in the world.
The Strong Arm Alchemist is a well-known figure in the city for his impressive physique and striking poses. He is also known for his powerful alchemy skills. ..
He is a YouTuber who has gained a large following for his videos on fitness and health. He has created many popular videos that have been watched by millions of people.
The guy is like a mix of Pringles, Markiplier, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
8. Toriko
I was walking through the city, and I saw a man on the street. He was wearing a bright green shirt and he had a bright green backpack.
Your anime friend suggests that you watch a show called Toriko. You think “sure why not?” and go to search it up on MAL.
The text on the poster reads, “Come see the muscle of America!”
He’s already taller than you and his bicep is bigger than your head. You can see that he weighs at 230 kg (over 500lbs!) and is over 2 meters tall (6.5 feet).
You have no choice but to accept Toriko as your new father. He is a towering figure, and there are few other options left. ..
7. Raoh
In the popular anime Fist of the North Star, a young man named Kenshiro must fight against an evil empire led by a powerful general. The series follows Kenshiro as he struggles to save the people of Japan from this empire and protect them from his own evil intentions.
This is the list of the fittest people in the world.
I decided to put Raoh on this article because he is more powerful than Kenshiro, but I do not think he is stronger.
Kenshiro is a large man, and he’s throwing around a lot of muscle. This is definitely visible in his movements and in his strength.
Raoh’s growth stat was maxed out to an incredible degree.
6. Broly
Dragon Ball Super is an anime series that follows the story of Goku and his friends, Gohan, Piccolo, and Vegeta. The series began airing in Japan on October 17, 2014 and ended on March 15, 2018.
Broly, the strongest Saiyan in the universe, is easily the most muscular character on Dragon Ball Super. He towers over everyone else with bulging muscles and a thick physique. However, his size is not the only thing that makes him stand out. Broly is also one of the most aggressive and destructive characters in the show, always ready to fight and destroy anything that gets in his way. ..
He has a build that would make The Mountain nightmares of.
I’m of course talking about Goku’s Saiyan form, as his “base” form is a lot more down to earth.
Superman is one of the most powerful superheroes in the world. He can fly, shoot ki, and zap people out of existence. He looks cool doing it. ..
The two Saiyans had been causing trouble for the other fighters for some time, and Goku and Vegeta were getting tired of it. They decided to take matters into their own hands, slapping and punching each other around until one of them finally got mad and slapped him.
5. Younger Toguro
Yu Yu Hakusho is an anime series that follows the story of a young man named Yusuke Urahara who is accused of killing his father. He is tried and found guilty, but manages to escape prison and return home to Japan. There, he begins a journey to find the truth about his father’s death and clear his name.
This guy is always trying to make a big deal out of his body.
When he’s around, you’ll notice that he looks like a regular gym bro. But then he starts to get more serious and his traps become bear traps.
He starts to speak in a deep, booming voice that echoes through the room. “I’m not here to talk about your housing situation,” he says. “I’m here to talk about the future of our country.”
He’s like a demon, and you’re running for the hills before he can catch up.
4. Muscular
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.
Donald Trump is the President of the United States. He has been in office since January 20th, 2017. ..
Muscular is already quite muscular in his “base” form. But when you take into account his quirk, he exceeds what any human can achieve. ..
His quirk, Muscle Augmentation, is a means of increasing muscle mass.
This man became a walking bicep after he decided to do so.
Deku’s power has clearly increased since their last encounter. If only he knew how percentages work, he could have used that knowledge to his advantage in their latest brawl. ..
3. Machio Naruzo
In an interview with Anime News Network, a weightlifting enthusiast and member of the Japanese Olympic team said that he believes that the number of dumbbells used in weightlifting is too heavy.
You go to the gym and do your thing. You work out, eat healthy, and get in shape. After a while, you feel better and better. You look better and better. And you know that you’re doing something good for your body and mind.
The guy who trains you at the gym is a complete novice.
I believe that I would never doubt his abilities again if he were to return to the NFL.
The character is a human who is constantly grinding at the gym. He is very fit and has a great body.
-This dude definitely does not skip leg day. -Breaking the illusion of a gym rat may result in taking away points. ..
I find that the show’s fantastical elements are too much for me to take seriously, and I don’t believe in real life equivalents of things like time travel or parallel universes.
2. Yujiro Hanma
Anime: Baki the Grappler tells the story of a young man who is forced to fight in a brutal and dangerous tournament to save his family.
In the show, Yujiro called the strongest human on Earth.
It’s really hard to argue with that.
If you’re looking for a good workout, you might want to check out Google Images. There, you can see how often the celebrity in question is shirtless and flexing their muscles. ..
He couldn’t even stop just there, he was so ripped that it looked like an angry praying mantis was ready to eat him for dinner.
I have never seen God’s back, but I would be praying for him if I did. Either he would give me a quick death or he would help me get rich quickly.
1. Superalloy Darkshine
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.
Darkshine is the clear winner in the prisoner comparison contest. His muscular build and dark skin make him stand out from the other prisoners. ..
The man outranks Puri-Puri.
We haven’t seen much of Darkshine so far, but even with what we have seen, it’s clear that he’s a walking tank. He is powerful and fast, and his attacks are brutal. He is a threat to any opponent he meets, and we need to be careful not to let him get too close.
The reason he’s at the top of the list is because he’s been performing well in the UFC. He’s won a lot of fights and has a lot of fans.
I’d like to say that I’ve never seen the manga, but I have. He has always shown his muscles in the manga.
The man nearly becomes a ball of pure muscle and veins, his body so thick and powerful it seems impossible.
Superalloy Darkshine is one of the most muscular characters in the game. ..
