Throughout the thousands of anime that exist, we have all kinds of stories and main characters.
Among them, there are very few manga/anime characters that are surprisingly strong right from the first episode. They don't need terrible character development to become the main characters of the story, because they are already so strong.
Here are some of the most famous names in this case:
Saitama – One Punch Man
Saitama from One Punch Man is so strong that he defeats his enemies with just one punch. This anime tells us the story of a hero who is so strong that battle is no longer a challenge but becomes a habit. It sounds simple, but this idea resonated with the public and made One Punch Man the benchmark of the genre.
Cid Kagenou – The Eminence in Shadow
The Eminence in Shadow is an anime based on the novel Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute, featuring the main character as a master of darkness. Cid Kagenou possesses superhuman abilities that allow him to manipulate the environment and defeat enemies with ease. Additionally, he can give his powers to others, creating an army of loyal followers.
Tatsuya Shiba – Magic High School
Although Tatsuya Shiba is considered an ordinary magician, he appears to have unique talents and fighting methods. The film shows that power does not always manifest itself in the expected way and that intelligence and strategy can be as important as brute force.
Shigeo Kageyama – Mob Psycho 100
Shigeo Kageyama, also known as Mob, is a man with unimaginable spiritual power. On the outside he is a shy and reserved teenager, but inside he hides an inner strength capable of destroying entire cities. The series focuses on the character's emotional development and the consequences of possessing such overwhelming power.
Rimuru Tempest – Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken
The main character Rimuru is a slime that has the ability to absorb and assimilate everything he touches, becoming increasingly stronger. The series combines fantasy and isekai elements, as the main character evolves from a simple creature into an omnipotent being.
The world of anime has given us countless protagonists with all kinds of powers, no matter what their powers are, they show us interesting stories and memorable characters.
However, it's important to note that the real appeal of these series lies in how they explore the consequences of having absolute power and how the characters deal with their own power.
