There is no doubt that one of the genres of the most popular anime series is shonen, wherein most of its plots we are presented with a series of characters that, for one reason or another, must be strengthened more and more, either to defeat the villain on duty or to outdo themselves.

10. Meliodas (The Seven Deadly Sins)
Despite his youthful appearance, Meliodas is actually a cursed demon with immortality that has thousands of years behind him. Leader of the group of The Seven Deadly Sins and nicknamed as the Dragon of Wrath for the immense power that comes to unleash when angry, Meliodas will help Elizabeth find the rest of the Sins and reclaim the kingdom of Britannia.
9. Vash the Stampede (Trigun)
Like Meliodas, Vash is older than he appears, as he belongs to a race created by humans known as Plants and is estimated to be just over 130 years old. His great skill with firearms and the enormous power within him have earned him the nickname of Vash the Stampede, whose head is valued at $ 60 billion. This means that Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, two employees of the Bernarderi Insurance Agency, have as a mission to follow and minimize the effects of the chaos that haunts Vash wherever he goes.
8. Alucard (Hellsing)
Alucard is the most powerful vampire and the deadliest member of the Hellsing Organization. Their main weapons are two pistols whose bullets are made of blessed metal from the Manchester Church cross. In addition to his weapons, he possesses great demonic powers that allow him to summon or transform, depending on the rival he faces, be it other vampires, ghouls, or any other supernatural enemy that threatens the country.
7. Izuku Midoriya (My Hero Academia)
Izuku Midoriya is a young man who lives in a world where most people are born with certain supernatural abilities. Having as his goal in his life to be a renowned superhero, the misfortune wanted Midoriya to be born without powers. However, his life will change radically when he meets the idol of his childhood, All Might, and he decides to make him his successor bypassing his power, the One For All. Little by little he will get used to his powers and he will become stronger and stronger in order to become the greatest hero in history.
6. Koro Sensei (Assassination Classroom)
Seemingly looking like an alien, this powerful being destroyed 70% of the Moon and plans to completely destroy Earth. In order to avoid this disaster, the government is forced to fulfill his request to make him the teacher of class 3-E, yet the threat remains in the air unless his students assassinate him.
Baptizing him as Koro Sensei, the students will try to finish him off using so-called “anti sensei” weapons, made of a material capable of damaging him. However, it will not be an easy task to kill Koro Sensei, as he is so fast that he is capable of moving almost twenty times the speed of sound, being able to dodge any attack made, either by one or all of them at the same time.
5. Lucy (Elfen Lied)
Despite her human appearance, Lucy actually belongs to a species known as diclonius, which is a human mutation with two small cat-like horns. Besides having great strength, Lucy possesses telekinetic powers thanks to limbs called vector receptors, which resemble long invisible arms that are capable of vibrating at a frequency of such magnitude that they can cut very hard materials such as metal or stone. He also has an extrasensory perception that allows him to feel the presence of other subjects of his race.
4. Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)
The craziest and most unpredictable ninja in his village, Naruto Uzumaki also ended up becoming the most powerful ninja, not only in the Hidden Leaf Village but on virtually the entire planet. Throughout his history, Naruto has grown more and more powerful, partly thanks to the power of the Nine-Tailed Fox that resides within him, but mainly through his own merits and with the teachings of his different teachers. But without a doubt one of his greatest abilities is his great heart, capable of appeasing the evil of many of the enemies he has faced, even making some of them become his allies.
3. Saitama (One Punch Man)
Despite his simple and goofy appearance, Saitama is one of the most powerful anime characters out there, capable of defeating every threat that comes his way with a single punch. Your secret? According to him, he only had to perform a daily workout consisting of a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups, a hundred squats, running ten kilometers, having a banana for breakfast, and not using air conditioning or heating to be able to train the will and not stop no matter how much it hurt. After a year and a half of this peculiar training, he managed to obtain superhuman strength, in addition to his baldness.
2. Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece)
Aspiring to be the future King of the Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy accidentally ate the rubber-rubber fruit, which turned him into a rubber man but with the disadvantage that he cannot swim. That hasn’t stopped him from sailing the seas in search of a crew to help him fulfill his life’s dream.
During his adventure we see him perfect his combat techniques and increase the power granted by the demonic fruit through various transformations. On the other hand, Luffy was taught the power of Haki, which, through its internal energy, is capable of making rivals faint or even creating an armor reinforcement on his body. This, combined with the power of his gum-gum fruit, makes him one of the most powerful anime characters.
1. Son Goku (Dragon Ball)
We couldn’t conclude this ranking of powerful anime characters without mentioning Son Goku. With superhuman strength, Son Goku is an alien born on the planet Vegeta, whose real name is Kakarot. Throughout the series we have seen him increase more and more in power (one of the main traits of the Saiyan race), becoming even more powerful through the different transformations he has been executing.
When it seemed that he had reached his limit, Goku surpasses himself even more reaching the power of the gods through the transformation of the Super Saiyan God and, later, the Ultra Instinct. Son Goku’s strength seems to have no end!
