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;

In the world of&nbsp;Hunter x Hunter,&nbsp;characters use a panoply of incredible techniques that are widely referred to as Nen. These abilities include simple ones like Uvogin&#39;s&nbsp;Big Bang Impact, which lets him concentrate aura into his fist for a dramatically enhanced punch. However, they also include complex and creative moves like Knuckle Bine&#39;s A.P.R. and I.R.S., which will basically destroy you with the power of the economy.&nbsp;

These are some of the best Nen techniques to appear in the 2011 anime series. Hardhitters like Gon&#39;s Limitation Transformation and Meruem&#39;s Aura Synthesis will make an appearance, but there are some more obscure ones too. Which ones do you think are the greatest?

Who is the greatest anime character with green hair? We want you to vote on the list below and let us know who your favorite green hair characters are from any anime series. Green is yet another of those hair colors that, when you see them in real life, you know it's artificial. Still, it's a color that makes a character easily distinguishable. Green usually stands for coolness and calm, and perhaps an affinity with nature. Perhaps that's why Sanji uses the name &quot;moss head&quot; as an insult from Zoro in the English dubbed version of One Piece. This list includes both older characters with green hair, like Sailor Neptune, and newer ones as well, such as Beelzebub and Freed Justine from Fairy Tail. Vote for your favorites among the most popular anime characters with green hair below, and add a character to the list if they're missing!&nbsp;

With so many anime characters with odd hair colors, brown is almost weirder than a bright color like pink or green. Here is Ranker's list of the best brown hair anime characters, as voted on by anime fans like you. In the colorful <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>, brown is a rather drab color. It may denote being ordinary and straight-laced. But given the chance, the character can explode in a flurry of colorful decisions and moves. After all, heroes are the types to have something hidden underneath, then they'll reveal it later. And since brown in the color of earth, perhaps it means they're well-grounded people.

<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-reboots-and-remakes/anna-lindwasser" target="_blank">Anime reboots</a> can either be a blessing or a curse for fans of older series. When it comes to&nbsp;Hunter x Hunter, many fans would agree that the 2011 reboot is a fantastic adaptation of the manga. Some even say it&#39;s superior to the original 1999 anime.

Shonen is one of the most popular anime genres out there, and there are plenty of great reasons for it. One of those reasons is the protagonists who drive the show.&nbsp;

Who are the best shonen protagonists? There are plenty to choose from. Some fit the typical hot-blooded hero profile: Naruto Uzumaki from&nbsp;Naruto,&nbsp;Natsu Dragneel from&nbsp;Fairy Tail,&nbsp;and Yusuke Urameshi from&nbsp;Yu Yu Hakusho&nbsp;are great examples of that - though of course all three are more complicated than that description. A shonen hero doesn&#39;t have to fit the mold to be great: Senku Ishigami from&nbsp;Dr. Stone&nbsp;would lose in a fist fight but dominate with his intelligence, while Chise Hatori from&nbsp;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-you-should-watch-ancient-magus-bride/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Ancient Magus</a>&#39; Bride&nbsp;has to overcome her lack of confidence and emotional issues before anything else. Some shonen protagonists aren&#39;t even heroes: Light Yagami might be <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-protagonists-who-arent-the-main-character/zack-howe?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the main character</a>, but he&#39;s more of a villain.

Few anime characters display the same personality traits at all times, but not all of them change drastically. In some cases though, the change can be pretty stark. One type of character whose personality does a complete 180 are chilled out, nice anime characters who get serious when they have to deal with conflict.&nbsp;

One example of this trope is Hatake Kakashi of Naruto,&nbsp;who is normally a laid back dude who goes totally serious&nbsp;when fighting against enemy ninja. There&#39;s also Rimuru Tempest of&nbsp;That Time I Got <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-that-time-i-got-reincarnated-as-a-slime-quotes/ranker-anime?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Reincarnated As A Slime</a>,&nbsp;who faces everyone and everything with a smile until he&#39;s actually staring down somebody who means him harm. Nezuko Kamado&nbsp;of&nbsp;Demon Slayer&nbsp;might be the cutest thing ever, but if you touch Tanjiro&nbsp;she&#39;s a force to be reckoned with.

Today we&#39;re going to be looking at some of the most iconic shonen&nbsp;protagonist quotes from characters like Naruto Uzumaki, Izuku Midoriya, Tanjiro Kamado, Goku, and more. Some of these quotes are inspiring, while others reveal an aspect of the protagonists&#39; personalities. Either way, they make an impact. Vote up the quotes that stick with you!

The Most Iconic Quote From Every Major Shonen Protagonist

In all forms of media, a great character needs a great motivation - and shonen anime is no exception. All of them are risking their lives to save the day, but what drives them to make such great personal sacrifices?&nbsp;

Some shonen protagonist motivations are relatively selfless ones - Tanjiro Kamado from Demon Slayer&nbsp;wants to turn his demon sister into a human being again, no matter how steep the personal cost. Others are focused more on personal ambition - Luffy from One Piece&nbsp;saves a ton of people, but he&#39;s hoping to become the Pirate King. Still, others just want to throw hands - Yusuke Urameshi and Goku care less about heroism and more about fighting strong opponents.&nbsp;

Complicated anime powers can be awesome, but sometimes the most satisfying thing in the world is a straight-up punch to the face. This is especially true when it&#39;s a well-deserved one. With that in mind, let&#39;s take a look at some of the&nbsp;best anime punches that have ever been thrown.

It&#39;d be possible to make an entire list worth of punches thrown by Saitama of&nbsp;One Punch Man,&nbsp;but he appears just once on this list. Other amazing punches were thrown by characters like All Might, Leorio&nbsp;Paladiknight, and Eren Jaeger. There&#39;s even one&nbsp;from an anime that isn&#39;t focused on action - Seishuu Handa knocking out that calligraphy appraiser was both relatable and satisfying - if kind of a bad idea.

Which of these moments got your blood pumping?

The 20 Most Satisfying Anime Punches of All Time

When an anime character passes away, their friends and allies are bound to react somehow. Sometimes, that reaction is pretty subdued - but sometimes it&#39;s one of the most intense things that happens in a series. Let&#39;s take a&nbsp;look at&nbsp;anime characters who snapped when someone died.

A characters&#39; response to a loved ones&#39; passing can trigger a power-up, like when Goku went Super Saiyan for the first time after Frieza took down Krillin. But it can also prompt a deep, life-altering depression, like when Tomoya Okazaki stops going to work and starts drinking&nbsp;heavily after his wife passes away during childbirth, or when Simon can&#39;t function as a member of his team after Kamina&#39;s demise in&nbsp;Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Which of these striking reactions had the most impact?&nbsp;

14 Anime Characters Who Snapped After Someone Died

Gaining a new ability isn&#39;t always fun and games. In fact, many anime characters awaken their true potential through truly&nbsp;horrifying means. Some gain a new ability when pushed to dangerous extremes that leave them with no choice but to power up or pass away, while others create chaos with terrifying abilities that they have no idea how to control.&nbsp;

Anime characters who went through traumatic power awakenings include Goku of Dragon Ball Z, who went Super Saiyan after Frieza eliminated his friend and threatened his son. There&#39;s also Escanor of&nbsp;The Seven Deadly Sins,&nbsp;whose strange abilities led him to accidentally injure his brother, only to be wholly rejected by his entire community afterward. Meanwhile, Ayumi Otosaka of&nbsp;Charlotte&nbsp;perished the moment her power was activated.

No matter how these characters came into their power, they endured some serious trauma. Vote up the ones whose stories you find the most compelling.

Metamorphosis&nbsp;is a theme that permeates anime.&nbsp;The process excites viewers and sometimes leaves them in awe. It’s that amazing moment when the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/anime-with-villain-protagonists/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">protagonist or antagonist</a> of the story goes through a transformation so distinct&nbsp;it leaves you&nbsp;speechless. Over the years, there have been many extreme anime transformations which you can’t help but watch&nbsp;more than once.&nbsp;Often&nbsp;when viewers think of a character transforming, the image of a magical girl transforming into a colorful warrior might pop to mind. While these enchanting sequences can be enjoyable, anime character transformations aren’t limited to the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-does-magic-girl-anime-exist/hannah-collins?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">magical girl genre</a>. In fact, there are many great titles that show anime characters who transform into something more sinister, unusual, or just plain ol' bonkerballs&nbsp;nuts. You're not going to find anything cutesy on this list, unless your perception of &quot;cute&quot; is way outside normal parameters. In which case, you know what, good for you!

Character design is one of the most important things about anime, and shonen is no exception. The protagonist&#39;s design is especially crucial because it can provide a ton of information about the character&#39;s personality, values, circumstances&nbsp;and more.&nbsp;

So, which is the best shonen protagonist character design? That question depends largely on personal opinion. Do you vibe&nbsp;with Ichigo Kurosaki&#39;s on-trend early 2000s wardrobe? Does Naruto Uzumaki&#39;s bright orange aesthetic annoy you or bring you joy? Is Senku Ishigami&#39;s radish hair cute, or is it weird?

<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/overpowered-anime-characters/crystal-brackett?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Overpowered anime characters</a> can be thrilling, but they can also be kind of exhausting. That&#39;s because it&nbsp;can be hard to get invested in the outcome of a conflict when you know that there&#39;s no chance that the character will lose.&nbsp;&nbsp;

With that in mind, let&#39;s take a look at some anime characters who are not overpowered. Because most shows feature non-OP side characters, we&#39;ll be focusing on the protagonists here. Some, like Spike Spiegel and Thorfinn, come from universes where supernatural powers would be unlikely or impossible, so their fighting prowess remains within the realm of what&#39;s possible for a strong but still ordinary human. Others do exist in worlds with supernatural powers, but they aren&#39;t&nbsp;impossibly stronger than everyone else around them. These include well known characters like Eren Jaeger of Attack on Titan,&nbsp;and lesser-known characters like Kotoko Iwanaga of In/Spectre.

Did you know that most anime characters have canon birthdays? Not only does this mean that you can celebrate your favorite characters when their special day comes around,&nbsp;but it also means that you know what their astrological sign is. Some characters exhibit most, if not all of the traits associated with their sign, while others don&#39;t act anything like their sign at all.

With that in mind, let&#39;s turn our attention to&nbsp;anime characters who are Taurus. The second sign in the zodiac cycle is an earth sign that&#39;s represented by the bull. When most people think about bulls, they think about stubbornness, which is absolutely true of Taureans. On a positive note, they&#39;re&nbsp;trendsetters who value the finer things in life, and they&#39;re loyal, kind, and dedicated to their goals. Some less than flattering Taurus traits include selfishness, materialism, and laziness. They value stability and dislike chaos and change. With all of those traits, you probably won&#39;t be surprised to learn that Miaka Yuki of&nbsp;Fushigi Yugi&nbsp;is a Taurus, but Izaya from&nbsp;Durarara!!&nbsp;might seem like a hard sell.

The 20 Best Taurus Anime Characters Born April 20 - May 20

If you&#39;re a real person who wants to dramatically increase your muscle mass, you&nbsp;have to follow a strict diet and exercise program. Depending on what kinds of results you&#39;re looking for and what your physical condition is like when you start, the process could take months or even years.&nbsp;

But anime characters aren&#39;t necessarily subject to the limits of the human body. For anime characters who can temporarily bulk up, a totally jacked body is only minutes away. Keeping their pumped up physique is another story, however - in most cases, these characters become small again&nbsp;soon after they change. All Might of&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;used to be consistently ripped, but an injury made it impossible for him to maintain his muscle form. Meanwhile, Escanor of&nbsp;The Seven Deadly Sins&nbsp;undergoes a massive shift in physique every day.

Which of these characters has the most interesting reason for transforming?

13 Anime Characters Who Can Bulk Up Out Of Nowhere

Being able to see isn&#39;t a superpower - but what about being able to see what&#39;s going on 800 kilometers away? Hearing is a pretty common ability - but being able to hear the minute changes in another person&#39;s heart rhythm and use that information to&nbsp;read their emotions is on another level. Let&#39;s take some time to appreciate anime characters with enhanced senses.

Some&nbsp;anime characters with sensory powers only have one sense that&#39;s supercharged. Kyoka Jirou of&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;can hear just about anything she wants by plugging an organ near her ear into any surface, effectively using them as headphones. Meanwhile, the rest of her senses are average. Other characters like Gon from&nbsp;Hunter X Hunter&nbsp;have multiple superior senses - the kid can see, hear, smell, and taste with an alarming facility.&nbsp;

Which of these supersensory powers do you think are cool?
