If I already know my life is going to be the same as what’s on screen, then why bother imagining it?
Anime series with overpowered main characters can be fun and exciting to watch, but they can also be problematic. These series often rely on the overpowered protagonist to resolve conflicts and save the day, without any real challenge or competition. This can make for a one-dimensional experience, and leave viewers feeling cheated. Here are our picks for the best anime series with an overpowered main character, so you can enjoy a well-rounded story while still getting your fix of an overpowered protagonist! ..
Prepare for a lot of manga that is focused on young boys.
20. Asta
But instead, it’s a story of a young man who has to fight for his life against an evil empire.
Wow, that’s really impressive. In a world where magic is literally everything, you get the power to just completely negate it?
Asta has no magic, and as a result, no one can detect him.
Yuno is currently near his level, but he’s only a prodigy. In fact, he may very well become a monster sooner rather than later.
He has some really big biceps.
He can crush a watermelon with those things. ..
19. Akame
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.
The title of this article is misleading because it does not mention the name of the person who was killed.
In the first few episodes, Esdeath seemed way more overpowered than she actually is. She was able to easily kill many people with her ice spells and her powerful attacks.
Akame gains powerful new abilities that make her virtually unbeatable.
She’s a ruthless killer who can take out anyone in seconds. Even before she starts scratching them, they’re dead.
It seems like the world is a broken place where armor is basically a superpower. People are so afraid of it that they can’t even use it. It seems like there’s no need for it anymore, and people are just living in fear of it.
18. Koro Sensei
Imagine being so powerful that you create an entire class where you teach people how to kill you and then use that knowledge to stay alive. ..
The main goal of the plot is to kill the protagonist’s guardian, who teaches them everything.
He is a unique and powerful individual who gives tips, corrects form, points out his flaws, and still the entirety of humanity can’t seem to deal with him.
I mean, he’s the most lovable yellow blob I have seen in my life. So honestly why would you even want to talk to him?
17. Izuku Midoriya
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.
However, he has the potential to become the strongest hero if he continues to train and improve. ..
He’s going to become the strongest at some point.
Deku’s power, One for All, is so powerful that the entire series is just Deku learning how to use it.
He will be able to blow 99% of the other heroes and villains out of the water with a flick of his finger.
All Might is a powerful superhero who is even stronger than before.
I refuse to get into the manga’s current state. ..
16. Yuu Otosaka
The later part of the series is where the protagonist becomes incredibly powerful. This makes him a very formidable opponent. ..
In a world where magic is a thing of the past, a young girl named Arian must find ways to use her powers to survive. She must learn how to control her magic and not let it consume her life.
Superpowers are a rarity in the world, with a small minority of people possessing them. These individuals have the ability to do things that normal people can’t, and often use their powers for good. ..
Yuus power is the ability to take over your body for a few seconds, if he’s making eye contact. Okay, not bad, but definitely not overpowered. ..
After months of research, we determined that the only way to find out for sure was to take the plunge and plunge into the ocean. We thought it would be a great adventure, something that would change our lives and give us a new perspective on life.
It is later revealed that if he takes over a person who also has a power, he flat out just takes it from them. And can now use it as he pleases.
The end result of his efforts is that he collects so many that he essentially becomes God.
15. Shizuo Heiwajima
Shizuo is still a human cannon, but he’s not as human as he used to be. He still has the emotions and feelings that humans experience, but he also has the memories and experiences that a human would have. He can’t help but feel like a machine, even though he’s still alive.
In a universe where a mythical creature like a Dullahan exists, not to mention the demon possessing sword, this man is somehow still the most powerful. He has mastered the art of swordsmanship and is able to fight with them with ease. He also has a powerful magic that allows him to control other creatures and objects in his vicinity.
With his Hulk-like strength and durability, he’s able to throw vending machines at you no problem. Or get hit by a truck and just become more agitated.
Whenever you hurt him, you just make him stronger the next time around. ..
14. Gon Freecss
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.
From the moment he was born, it was clear that Gon was something special.
Nen easily overpowered most grown adults and didn’t seem too phased by the usually deadly entrance exams.
Killua was still somewhere near my level.
Killua wasn’t overpowered in this scenario.
That is until that fateful cat lady encounter that changed everything.
I’m not going to say what that means, but if you’ve watched then you already know. Jesus that was just insane.
13. Sinbad
Magi: Adventure of Sinbad is an anime that tells the story of Sinbad, a sailor who travels the world in search of treasures. ..
In The Labyrinth of Magic, we saw just how powerful Sinbad truly is. Sinbad is a powerful sorcerer who has the ability to travel through time and space. He is able to use his powers to defeat evil beings and protect the people he cares for. Sinbad is a true hero, and his actions in The Labyrinth of Magic make him one of the most powerful sorcerers in all of history.
There was a hope that he had some weakness, or that he wasn’t always so strong. Then we get his spin-off series and nope, he was always a god-tear warrior. ..
The man blew up a mountain just to prove a point. He wanted to show the world that he was the best.
Alexander the Great was a powerful and charismatic leader who conquered much of the world. ..
He’s a sneaky little bastard, so you can’t even nerf him with the usual good-guy, everything for my friends trick. ..
12. Shigeo Kageyama
Anime: A story of a young boy who is forced to deal with the consequences of his actions.
If Mob was interested in actually being an esper and didn’t have guilt over using his powers, this show would have probably ended in like 2 minutes. Unless they went the slice-of-life bodybuilder edition route.
But when Mob is being his usual self, he’s not as bad as he seems.
The police have the upper hand in this case.
The second that the anger meter reaches 100%, Mob’s true power is unleashed, and there are no exceptions.
11. Naruto
Naruto has always been overpowered, according to a recent study. ..
In the original series, if you looked at his feats, you realized that he was an underdog for about five minutes.
In the first episode of the new season of Naruto, a new jutsu is shown that allows users to create multiple copies of themselves. This technique is used by one of the characters, who beats up an academy instructor. ..
The crowd is on its feet as Sasuke pierces Gaara’s sand shield and then Naruto takes on the one-tailed beast a few minutes later. ..
Naruto Uzumaki was an impressive figure from the very beginning of his appearance in the series. ..
10. Escanor
Anime: A story of seven deadly sins.
But then I thought better of it.
Escanor is the god of ego, and he’s a major player in the game of D&D. He’s always looking to show off his skills, and he’s not afraid to get in your face. He’s a powerful figure in the game, and you should be careful around him if you want to stay alive.
Anime fans everywhere are in love with the character’s one-liners. They are some of the coolest things to ever be said in anime. ..
The powerful are so far below us that we can only pity them. ..
He is a powerful speaker and can easily shift the focus of the conversation to his point of view. ..
If only his flirt game was as strong as his battle game, he could live a truly blissful life.
9. Ainz Ooal Gown
This spooky scary skeleton is a warning to stay away from the dark.
He is a powerful, dangerous man who can destroy entire nations with just a few henchmen at his disposal.
He’s a skilled player of the game, and he can even out every fight to make it as difficult for his opponents as possible.
Ainz is the second most powerful character in the series, behind only Ainz himself. He is a mage who wields a sword and wears a costume that makes him look like a warrior.
That’s very telling of his power, in my opinion.
8. Saiki Kusuo
Saiki K. is a manga-anime hybrid that follows the misadventures of high school student, Saiki K., as he tries to make ends meet and navigate the perils of life. The series has been met with mixed reviews, with some praising its humor and others criticizing its poor writing and characterization. ..
This might not be the best pick for the series as it is not really a battle focused show, but rather a skit based comedy.
Despite being a god, Saiki is still a funny guy.
esper, on like power steroids, he can seemingly do anything.
Superman can do anything. ..
The only threat the show has ever seen is that he deals with off screen. Because it wasn’t that interesting to watch him snap his fingers.
7. Levi
Anime: Attack on Titan is a series of anime films and television shows created and produced by J.J. Abrams and David Barron. The show is set in the world of the titans, a race of giant, intelligent creatures that live on a planet that has been destroyed by an alien attack. The titans are forced to fight for their lives against an alien threat that is determined to destroy them all.
I was going to put Eren on here, as he gets pretty ridiculous in the manga. But decided to stick with Levi because this man is overpowered without even having powers.
Overpowered is a good word to describe him. He’s so skilled at what he does that it’s hard to compete with him. ..
He is a force to be reckoned with, and has single-handedly taken down many powerful opponents. ..
Even when he had a real adversary, Levi was still able to come out on top without sustaining any serious damage.
6. Kazuto Kirigaya
Sword Art Online is a popular anime that follows the story of Kirito and his friends as they fight to escape the virtual world known as Aincrad. The anime is full of action, adventure, and suspense, making it a great choice for fans of all ages. ..
Kirito is an overpowered character because he can easily outclass most players in terms of stats and abilities. This has led to a lot of people being frustrated with him, and even some people hating him.
The young swordsman has been a force to be reckoned with since the first installment of his story. He has defeated everyone in his path, and is now a powerful figure.
When a group of people attack him, they can’t even see his health slowly decreasing.
In the latest episode of the popular sci-fi series “The Expanse,” a group of human colonists are forced to fight for their lives against an alien race that has invaded their planet. In the end, one of the colonists, a skilled hacker named James Holden, seemingly hacks the universe and defeats his enemies. This scene has been widely praised by fans of the show as a dramatic and exciting climax to an otherwise average episode.

I lost track of how many times he did it. He might still be doing it.
5. Rimuru Tempest
In my previous life, I was a normal human. But then one day, I woke up to find that I had been reincarnated as a slime. It was an odd experience, to say the least. Initially, things were pretty normal. But then something strange happened: I started to change! My body became slimy and green, and my mind became filled with slithery thoughts. It was bizarre and uncomfortable, but I stuck with it because I figured it must be some kind of joke. Eventually, though, things got worse. The more time passed, the more my body changed; now it’s almost unrecognizable as anything human. And the slithery thoughts in my mind only grew stronger… This is my story of how I ended up becoming a slime - an anime-inspired tale that may just give you a few laughs along the way! ..
Rimuru is a powerful character because they can scale infinitely.
Slimes are a versatile and powerful enemy that can keep absorbing foes and increasing their numbers. ..
Rimuru is getting stronger and more people are at their side. So even in terms of military might, they are quite terrifying.
The Rimuru can name their soldiers in order to increase the effectiveness of their unit.
I swear, these people are just endless.
4. Tanya Degurechaff
In the anime series “The Saga of Tanya the Evil”, Tanya is a powerful evil witch who has been terrorizing the town of Westville for years. Her latest plan is to take over the school and use it as her own personal base of operations.
Tanya was reincarnated by a god she, formerly he, didn’t believe in. She now has the ability to see the future and is using her knowledge to help people. ..
This god, creature X, has given her a lot of power in the hopes that it will make her more pious.
A mystery has been unfolding in the small town of Westville. For the past few weeks, strange things have been happening. First, there was a break-in at the local grocery store. Then, someone left a dead animal on the side of the road. And finally, someone vandalized one of the town’s historic buildings. The police are baffled by these incidents and have no idea who is responsible for them. They’re hoping that someone will come forward with information that can help them solve this mystery. ..
She became a terror on the battlefield, killing so many people that she doesn’t bother to even remember their names and being probably made out to be the boogieman by the opposing army.
The way the president gave her this much power was supposed to make her believe that she could do anything. I have no idea what he was thinking when he made this decision.
I found it interesting to watch her blow entire armies up, but it’s not really my thing.
3. Alucard
Pope Alucard is a terrifying presence that lurks in the dark, ready to snap your leg off at any moment.
Alucard was losing, but he didn’t want it to appear that way.
After he’s done making you laugh, he will turn into a nightmare and eat you alive.
The writers really went all out against this guy. They didn’t want the “good guys” to stand a feasible chance. ..
2. Saitama
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.
The president of the United States had just announced a new plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. You all knew it was coming, and you all expected it. But you were still surprised when it happened.
The show’s entire point is that Saitama cannot break a sweat no matter who he’s facing.
The man is so powerful that he turned an epic action shounen into a comedy series just by existing. He has a unique ability to turn any story into a comedy series, and his fans are legion.
He’s not some other list member who toy around with his enemies or gets super-buffed later on.
He is a one-shot killer who can easily take down anyone or anything. ..
The creator of a popular YouTube channel known for scaling videos has had difficulty against him in battle, as he has yet to actually try it. So it’s unknown how high his power ceiling is.
1. Goku
Dragon Ball Universe is an anime series that follows the story of Goku, a young boy who is forced to fight in a battle against an evil empire. The series has been praised for its unique and exciting story line.
This man is a textbook example of how to fall off a power-cliff.
He’s so powerful that he’s in leagues with gods like Zeus and Thor.
The show’s protagonist, a mysterious figure with an ever-growing power, continues to baffle viewers with his strength and transformation. Will he ever stop getting stronger?
Goku is always the question when a new overpowered character comes onto the scene. Can they beat him?
The reason the answer is always either no, or I don’t know is because there’s no answer.
