Want to end the debate of who the strongest <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-anime-characters/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">anime character</a> to ever exist is? You only have to do one thing...vote on the poll below! For this list we want to hear your opinion on who the most powerful anime character of all time. These guys probably beat up the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/smartest-anime-characters/ranker-anime">smartest anime characters</a> all the time in high school--if they ever went to one.&nbsp;Both heroes and villains are included below, so you can vote for everyone from Madara Uchiha to Ichigo Kurosaki. The discussion of the strongest anime character is always shrouded in controversey, so consider the following: just because a character is physically more powerful doesn't mean they are stronger than another overall. Take Light Yagami vs Monkey D. Luffy, for example. Obviously Luffy could gum-gum pistol him into oblivion, but what if Light wrote his name down in the death note? That's an instant death with just the stroke of a pen. <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/when-you-see-it-pictures/lauren-slocum?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">When you</a> see names like Vegeta below, assume that they would be fighting at their very highest potential.&nbsp;

After an eight-year absence, the Bleach anime will finally return in 2021 to animate the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bleach-manga-plot-after-anime/leo-reyna" target="_blank">final storyline in the series</a>. With all the buzz surrounding the return of Bleach to TV, the fandom&#39;s passion for&nbsp;their favorite teenaged soul reaper has been reignited. Among the great debates going on today is who was the greatest captain in Gotei 13.

While Bleach began with a small, but humble cast, the (spiritual) world grew immensely in the Soul Society, which is commonly regarded as the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-arcs-shounen-anime/leo-reyna" target="_blank">best story arc</a>&nbsp;in the series. Fans were introduced to a number of unforgettable captains, such as Kenpachi Zaraki, So Fon, Byakuya Kuchiki, and of course, Sōsuke Aizen. All of which, had their <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-bankai-bleach/leo-reyna" target="_blank">own unique powers</a>.&nbsp;Out of all of these captains - former and current -&nbsp;who was the strongest of them all?

If you&#39;ve ever seen a person who looks irritated or angry regardless of what their actual mood might be, you&#39;ve seen someone with &quot;resting b*tch face.&quot; This phenomenon shows up in the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-world-to-live-in/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">world of anime</a> as well as in real life - there are plenty of anime characters who always look angry.

Anime characters with resting b*tch face can of any&nbsp;gender, and can appear in any genre of anime. One example is Levi Ackerman, who looks perpetually annoyed even when things are going well - though to be fair to Levi some of that is because he&#39;s led a pretty traumatic life. Another is&nbsp;Sayaka Kanamori of Keep Your Hands Off Eizoken!,&nbsp;who looks as if she&#39;s about to reap your soul - except when she&#39;s thinking about how to reap your money.

These characters can be hard to read, but when they actually do smile, it has all the more impact. Which ones are&nbsp;your favorites?

In the world of Bleach, a Soul Reaper is nothing without their bladed partner, the&nbsp;Zanpakutō. In addition to being a&nbsp;Soul Reaper's main weapon for combat,&nbsp;these Japanese-style swords also contain&nbsp;hidden powers called Bankai, that&nbsp;give&nbsp;their wielder extraordinary advantages in combat. One&nbsp;Zanpakutō can summon&nbsp;a skeleton snake demon, whereas another calls forth an&nbsp;indestructible samurai giant.&nbsp;There is&nbsp;an amazing number of incredibly powerful Bankai&nbsp;wielded by heroes and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-bleach-villains/ranker-anime" target="_blank">Bleach villains</a> alike,&nbsp;but which ones are truly supreme?If your favorite Bankai is the&nbsp;Hakka no&nbsp;Togame check out the best <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-rukia-kuchiki-quotes/ranker-anime" target="_blank">Rukia Kuchiki quotes</a>.

Expressionless anime characters may not be as flashy as their more enthusiastic friends and foes, but they are far from dull. Often the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/favorite-and-_34_dere-and-_34_-type/method2madness">kuudere</a> or dandere type, these guys and gals are low energy to the max, rarely wearing their emotions on their sleeves and usually being the bluntest member of their group. This character type can range from comically cool, like Sakamoto from Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto, to tragically indifferent like Neon Genesis Evangelion's Rei Ayanami.Most of the time, expressing feelings for these characters is either difficult or simply wasted energy, which makes any emotional moment from them that much more powerful and significant. Like <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/anime-characters-who-always-have-their-eyes-closed/jonah-dorrance">anime characters who always have their eyes closed</a>, part of the adventure with expressionless characters is witnessing the kinds of events that inspire a change in their usual demeanor. A smile might come only once in a blue moon, but it’s always worth waiting for, since these anime characters always have the same face.

Big brothers are supposed to be warm, kind, protective people who love their younger siblings more than anything in the world - right? Well, not exactly - in both the real world and the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-world-to-live-in/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">world of anime</a>, older brothers come with a wide variety of personalities and relationships with their younger siblings. One common form of this is the aloof or distant older brother.&nbsp;

Some&nbsp;aloof big brothers in anime actually go so far as to become their younger siblings&#39; enemy. One famous example is Itachi Uchiha of&nbsp;Naruto,&nbsp;who massacred the entire Uchiha clan and then joined a villainous organization, leaving his little brother Sasuke&nbsp;with a singular goal - revenge. There are also distant older brothers who just don&#39;t care about their younger siblings as much as they&#39;re expected to. Until he became an adult, Ayame Sohma had little to no interest in his younger brother Yuki. Now that he wants to repair the relationship, Yuki would rather be left alone.&nbsp;

Whether these strained sibling relationships are an important part of an action plot or a means of character development in a drama, they&#39;re a great source of conflict and drama. Which aloof older brothers are&nbsp;your favorites?
