The Most Powerful Female Anime Characters of All Time

Only a fool would dare cross the Tornado of Terror. What she lacks in height, she makes up for tenfold in ability and strength. Tatsumaki is an S-class Rank 2 hero with psychic powers. She is considered to be one of the Hero Association's strongest heroes as well as the most powerful esper in the One Punch Man universe. She and her younger sister, Fubuki, are a star-studded duo known as the Psychic Sisters. Not only is she incredibly skilled and capable, she also has no tolerance for arrogant men who dismiss her as a little girl. You better think twice before you mess with her. 

Erza Scarlet of Fairy Tail has so many amazing abilities that if she were a D&D character the dungeon master would flip over the board in frustration. This formidable woman is an S-Class Mage of the Fairy Tail Guild. She not only boasts ridiculous magical abilities that include telekinesis, sword magic, and the ability to "requip" - to switch out armor and offensive tools at a lightning fast speed.

She's also scary strong, super fast, and a master at archery, hand-to-hand combat, and swordsmanship. 

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood's Izumi Curtis might call herself an ordinary housewife, but ordinary housewives typically aren't strong enough to beat up a bear. Despite her overwhelming physical prowess, Izumi is also a talented alchemist - she taught the Elric brothers nearly everything they know.

These talents are more impressive because Izumi severely damaged her organs when an attempt to bring her child back to life through alchemy went terribly wrong. Even when she's coughing up blood, she's still a formidable opponent. 

Akame of Akame ga Kill! is the strongest member of the Night Raid, a group focused on reconnaissance and assassination. Akame not only boasts superior swordsmanship, she also has some fascinating special abilities. She's immune to most poisons, allowing her to handle the poisonous blade Teigu.

She can move at Mach 1 - the velocity of sound. When Akame wants to kill someone, she can completely disguise her intentions and surprise her enemies. Defeating her is a challenge few people are equipped to meet. 

It's hard to imagine that All Might of My Hero Academia ever had a mentor - he has such a powerful presence that it seems like he had to have come to it on his own. But All Might got both his powers and his heroic attitude from Nana Shimura, the seventh inheritor of One For All.

The power allows its users to stockpile their power, which allows for super strength, super speed, and other incredible abilities - but unless the user is physically strong enough to withstand it, the strain can tear the user apart. Nana boasts the same incredible strength as her protege All Might.

While there are a lot of badass women in Naruto, the most powerful is probably Tsunade. Not only does she have super strength so incredible that she was able to split the ground with a single finger, she also has impeccable chakra (energy) control, which he can use to perform Lightning, Fire, Water, Earth, and Yin and Yang based jutsu (techniques). This means that she has complete control over the elements and her own spiritual energy.  She's so powerful that her attacks can even penetrate Susano-o, which is supposed to be an impenetrable defense. 

That's not all - Tsunade is also a world-class healer who can not only cure just about any disease or injury in existence, but can also alter her appearance so that she appears eternally youthful. Tsunade is one shinobi you don't want to mess with.
