Most Powerful Character Ever Written In Anime Or Manga

For me it's Goku from the dragon Ball Series. no one else comes close

How can you say that? in the first series of dragonball z, Vegeta completely wiped the floor with Goku. It took Goku, Gohan and Kuririn to defeat him.

You're probably right, because the powers displayed in the dragonball series are far beyond any reasonable limits.

Goku isnt human at all
so its allowed
Besides he was 'pure'

it's true that he isnt human and all that but that doesn't mean a thing, beside its all about power, not about nationality

beside its all about power, not about nationality

of course i kno
i meant that humans cant have that kind of power whether learnt or given

Habbah Mannah, una suppose know that AKIRA is 4sure the most powerful Anime character ever!

My guy didn't even need to show face until the ending part of the movie, now how bad ass is that

for why@ that guy doesn't stand a chance. for christ's sakes Goku could just start flying around and take out all the planets in the solar system with one fireball each if he wanted. can akira do that?

Akira is pure energy, one with the universe. He is the very source of the super saiyajin's power. He is unbeatable.

However the most powerful characters in any anime would be among the following (including Akira):

1) Lain (serial experiments lain). The world and all existence are nothing but her imagination.

2) Eclair (Kiddy grade). The most powerful and long living ES member, her talent is that she can and will never die, and will always become stronger than any adversary

3) Shinji (neon genesis evangelion) depending on the ending that you choose, Shinji either became the almighty being in control of all existence, or he destroyed every living thing in excuse for an entirely new world in which he and a single giorl were the only living things. Either way he OWNED everybody, ichigo, naruto, nine-tails, orochimaru, EVERYBODY.

If we decide to disregard all the 'God-type' characters and focus on sheer combat ability with no magic assist, then the number one is definitely Kenshin from rurouni Kenshin. Say what you want about shishio, enishi or soujiro- NONE of them can beat the Amakakeru, and NONE of them can face the battousai. Kenshin is just the man and no-one has skills to match him.

If we say, OK magic assist allowed but not to Godlike levels, then it should be Naruto. The power of the Kyubi is not only limitless it is imposssible to eliminate. (I am talking based on the anime oooooo pols no manga spoilers!) I believe the Kyubi is greater than Goku's saiyajin power and Ichigo'shollow alter ego. It is the greatest tailed demon .

Now we ignore magic assist and talk abvout weapons- well what better weapon than a great mech?

Kira yamato- Freedom Gundam
Shin - Destiny Gundam
Heero - Wing zero gundam
Shinji - Eva 01 (stronger than the Gundams abvover, i think, )
Nono (gunbuster 2) - she can control the largest fleet of buster machines in the known universe with her thoughts alone. for SHEEZY!

This guy sef, you be OTAKU or wetin??

Anyhow sha, thanks for putting things in perspective!

This guy sef, you be OTAKU or wetin??

lol

@darkmanzero, I dont know who Lain, Eclair or Shinji are( though i intend to find out) but i have to agree with you regarding weapon assisted powers, there is nothing like seeing Kira taking down hundreds of nukes with his freedom mobile suit, its just to much. I dont like shin though, he's like a spoiled brat, always bitchin' about something or someone.

all dis una dragon ballz z yarns na dust zaraki kenpachi of bleach go dull any anime character of all time.

all this una dragon ballz z yarns na dust zaraki kenpachi of bleach go dull any anime character of all time.

how dare you mention kenpachi here. if you had said aizen or even yama-ji, i might have considered. right now i beleive that kenpachi isnt among the top five most powerful people in bleach

for me, Goku's son Gohan is the strongest anime character ever

marhoatumu:

Zaraki's concept is that he is as crazy as he is already and doesnt know the name of his sword so even his shika has not yet been found. If u read the manga's [which i dont but just heard about], u'll see later along the way he learns the name of his sword and thus begins the era of craziness from the acclaimed strong man of bleach.

@mahotmu (or whatever)

meeeeeeeen the freedom gundam is a sight when its spraying those meteor-powered blasts!!!!!! But you HAVE to respect the destiny gundam! Afterall KIRA vs SHIN was a reality and you GOTTA respect that fight! Heeeeeeooow!!!!!!!!

This is an easy question, has to be Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

She may not spew fireballs or have flying powers but she has created the universe and can destroy of said reality at a whim

Now that is power

from what i read about Haruhi Suzumiya in wikipedia(no time to start downloading d anime or manga) it seems that she is unaware of her powers, hence she can't consciously use them. that doesnt make her qualify the same way that kenpachi is not among the top five strongest people in bleach because he doesnt know the name of his sword. she has potential but until she can make use of it, she remains an ordinary school girl

SIMPLE: the akatsuki leader from naruto. if you can have strong ninjas like itachi uchiha and kisame as subordinates then you have to be very powerful.

But he's not strong enough to destroy a planet!

Since it seems we have no rules on limiting the types of powers, I'm still waiting for you people to come up with someone more powerful than Lain.

She is like the haruhi girl mentioned above, but is very much aware of her powers. She has even spoken with God himself. She can remake reality as she sees fit, and that includes rewriting history. She can make it as if something never happened, or happened before it happened, or after. She is the ultimate power.

Nothing

Can

beat

the

Lain

this lain self, i know she is strong mentally, but that dont mean she cant be killed from afar. or she could get hit by a bus and die instantly. stuff like dat wont even scratch goku and friends.

You dont understand

she can't be killed from afar or hit by a bus because she IS the bus. she IS reality. Its all a figment of her imagination!


If you made up a story about giant lizrards from hell can they harm you? NO! because it is your imagination!

LAIN

IS

INFINITE


LAIN

CANNOT

BE

DEFEATED!!!!


(have you seen the lain? )

GOKU! definately as a super saiyan

[b]Eclair [/b]of Kiddy Grade! Hack her, slash her, grind her--- she will keep coming back until your ass is whupped, real good.

I have watched Rurouni Kensin over and over again and I will say the most powerful character in that anime is Hiko Seijuro(Kensin's Master).
His Speed and strength Kensin cannot match.
I have seen Akira,Inuyasha and a couple of other Animes and Im a lil confused when it comes to selecting the most powerful character.

speaking of powerful mechs,have u guys seen heroic age? i havent yet seen the mech that can stand close to bellcross, that guy is tooo powerful.

i think dis argument will go on and on without an answer because am yet to see someone(just1 person) dat watches all the animes n reads all d mangas.for me am a naruto addict:anime,manga so i can say in it Jiraiya is d best ninja.maybe Naruto comes next

dont mean to bring in spoilers and stuff but as far as the naruto universe is concerned, jiraya is not the most powerful. read the manga to find out why

Azanor:

maybe u are the one to carefully analyze the series,and give a reason cos for me Jiraiya is d best.he's the 4th hokage's teacher,3rd hokage's student.for u to be both these,he knows all d technique's both knows.apart from that see d big scroll he carries on his back,it contains all d forbidden techniques u can think of.he's well travelled,fought more enemies and so on.
Fine maybe he died in the manga but dat was because he didnt find out enough information about pain before there encounter.else pain would have been a gonner .maybe u can give me one reason why he's not

Jiraiya?!! strongest?!! no disrespect to the guy but he was kileed by pain and dnt give me that shit bout not having enough info.,thats what makes you powerful,your ability to go against all odds and come out triumphant and jiriaya did not,admittedly he did have to die for naruto to progress as a ninja, but strongest .yes he was the 3rd's student and the 4th's teacher but waht about pain who after being taught by jiriaya for only 3years went on to matser techniques on his own and still floor the dude and is the second in command of the most feared group,being able to put crazy dudes as those found in akatsuki under your control,that my friend is the difference in class
