Goku? Saitama? Gojo? We settle the debate on the most powerful characters in anime history.

Power scaling debates are the fuel of anime forums. While crossing universes is tricky, here is our ranking based on feats and lore.

1. Simon (Gurren Lagann)

At the end of the series, his mecha (Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann) is larger than the known universe and fights with galaxies as shuriken. He manipulates probability and evolution. He is arguably unbeatable.

2. Zeno (Dragon Ball Super)

The Omni-King can erase entire universes with a wave of his hand. He is not a fighter, but his authority is absolute. Goku doesn't stand a chance.

3. Saitama (One Punch Man)

The gag character who broke his limiter. His strength is theoretically infinite, scaling exponentially to beat any opponent. He sneezed away Jupiter.

4. Anos Voldigoad (The Misfit of Demon King Academy)

He killed the concepts of time and distance. He beat a guy who controlled time by "moving faster than time." Logic does not apply to him.

5. Rimuru Tempest (Reincarnated as a Slime)

By the end of the novels, Rimuru is essentially a god who governs space and time, creates universes, and cannot die.

6. Son Goku (Dragon Ball)

The classic answer. With Ultra Instinct, he exerts power that shakes the void of nothingness. He is always breaking limits.

7. Giorno Giovanna (JoJo Part 5)

Gold Experience Requiem has the power to reset any action to zero. You cannot attack him because the attack never happened. It is the ultimate defense.

8. Madoka Kaname (Madoka Magica)

She rewrote the laws of the universe to become a concept rather than a person.

9. Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen)

With "Infinity," nothing can touch him. With "Unlimited Void," he overloads your brain with infinite information. But as the manga showed, he is not invincible.

10. Yhwach (Bleach)

He can see and alter all possible futures (The Almighty). Only a very specific plot arrow could stop him.
