Top 9 Anime With Insanely Overpowered Characters

If you like anime, chances are you’ve seen characters that are just too overpowered. The one that everyone knows is probably Goku, who just keeps getting stronger with each arc. He’s stronger than the God of Destruction (probably), which is insane. Anyway, these OP (short for overpowered) characters can either make or brake for a lot of anime fans. Some of us love the unstoppable nature while others think it’s “too safe” and boring. Both opinions have the right to exist but I’m personally in the first camp. Nothing beats the rush of adrenaline you get when the OP hero just obliterates everything and everyone in their vicinity.

Anyway, you’re about to meet characters who can destroy planets with a single punch, get god-like powers out of (seemingly) nowhere, and defeat their enemies without breaking a sweat. Here are the top 9 anime with insanely overpowered characters.

1. Guts – Berserk

Look at that sword. It’s huge! And guess what, Guts has been swinging it since he was six, which in the end made him devilishly strong. If Guts can slash an armored dude in half, you better believe he can cut a demon into thin slices! Later in the manga he gets even more powerful upgrades like his demon armor, making him an unstoppable killing machine.

2. Orochimaru – Naruto Shippuden

Orochimaru is one of the main villains in Naruto. What makes him so dangerous and OP, you’ll ask? He’s potentially immortal and can use the forbidden ninjutsu that can resurrect others. I can’t even remember how many times he was “defeated”, but after each death he came back from the dead like it’s an ordinary Tuesday.

3. Rimuru Tempest – That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime

There was this otaku in Tokyo, who was hit by a car and died… or at least he thought he did. Instead, his essence was transferred to a different world where he became a slime (slimes are generally the weakest monsters in games and anime). Soon after the “rebirth”, Rimu realized what happened and that this new world looks a lot like a computer game, and that he’s got a skill called “Devour”, letting him keep any special powers of the enemies he’s eaten. We’re talking flying, spitting acid, growing armor, etc. He may just be the most OP out of all the characters here.
