Anime draws viewers in with its captivating visuals, and the cutest characters created can be just as enticing. These men&nbsp;may be artificial, but our feelings for them are certainly not.

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;

Who is the top anime character with white hair? Thanks to your votes on this list, we can finally answer that question. White hair, while associated with age in the real world, is a perfectly natural hair color in anime for characters of all age. White is often associated with purity, but there are some anime characters with white hair who are anything but pure (looking at you Whitebeard.) Some of them can be quite aloof, like Urd of Ah My Goddess, or as playful and kind as Mirajane of Fairy Tail. White hair is also associated with the spirit world, so you can find many white-haired supernatural characters in this list, like Inuyasha and Kurama the Fox. White hair anime characters are often intelligent as well, such as Near from Death Note or Captain Hitsugaya from Bleach. No matter who your favorite anime character with white hair is, give them an upvote below so they can move up higher on the list.

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?

Just because an anime character has done terrible things doesn&#39;t mean it&#39;s always their fault. In some cases, they have little choice but to go along with the evil scheme of a truly nefarious person.

Sometimes,&nbsp;anime characters who were forced to be evil are like that because they were manipulated into thinking it was the right thing to do. That&#39;s true of Reiner Braun and the other Warriors from Attack on Titan.&nbsp;They truly thought they were in the right - and what&#39;s more, they wouldn&#39;t be treated like human beings if they didn&#39;t go along with it. That actually brings us to the other reason why anime characters are sometimes forced into nefarious deeds - they or someone they love is threatened if they don&#39;t comply. That&#39;s the case for Isabella from&nbsp;The Promised Neverland,&nbsp;who turned against the children of Grace Field House for reasons that are surprisingly sympathetic.

Tough childhoods are a staple 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>. In fact, this trope is so common that hard to find a series without a single character it applies to. In some series with larger casts, it applies to almost everyone.&nbsp;

No subject is too horrific for a tragic backstory. You&#39;ll find anime characters who suffer from homelessness, abuse, starvation, slavery, war, disease, human experimentation, and just about every other conceivable problem that could befall a person. In many cases, an individual character will have to deal with multiple tragedies at once. Sometimes it impacts them realistically, changing their personalities and their outlooks on life - but in other cases it&#39;s hard to see what the impact was. Among these anime characters with sad childhoods are popular characters like Raphtalia from&nbsp;<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-rising-of-the-shield-hero-quotes/ranker-anime?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">The Rising of the Shield</a> Hero and Kakashi from Naruto, as well as&nbsp;lesser-known characters like Yoshio Kobayashi from Trickster.

Great Moments in Anime

Most anime fights involve some level of injury on the heroes&#39; part. Maybe they just get roughed&nbsp;up a little bit, or maybe they come close to losing their lives. But there are also anime fights where the hero takes no damage - they&#39;re an untouchable BAMF who schools their opponent on the battlefield.&nbsp;

Some&nbsp;flawless victories in anime at set in shows where such outcomes are common. Saitama of&nbsp;One Punch Man,&nbsp;for example, is rarely injured in battle, and never loses a match, so most of his battles end this way. In other shows, injuries are typical - nearly every scene from&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;ends with a recovery period.

Whether the outcome is expected or not, these fights will definitely get your heart pumping - and will make you appreciate how talented the heroes truly are.&nbsp;Which ones are&nbsp;your favorites?

Unlike Edward Elrich, not all short anime characters get testy when you point out their lack of verticality. For this list we're ranking the greatest short anime characters of all time, with the help of your votes. Do you have a favorite anime character who is really short? Given that <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">famous anime characters</a> like Krillin, Himura Kenshin, and Edward Elric are particularly short, we're willing to bet the answer is yes.One of the funniest running gags in Fullmetal Alchemist is that Ed doesn't like being called short. There are multiple instances throughout the show where a character calls Edward short to his face, usually because they are shocked that Edward, and not his younger (but bigger) Alphonse, is the famed prodigy alchemist.If you think the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-anime-13-episodes-or-less/anna-lindwasser?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best short anime</a> character is represented on the list below, simply add them to the polls so that others can vote up that character too.

There&#39;s also Mirio from&nbsp;My Hero Academia,&nbsp;who challenged all of Class 1-A to a battle and wiped the floor with them.&nbsp;

Can you imagine Naruto&nbsp;Uzumaki&nbsp;as a villain?

Most of these damaged heroes have violent&nbsp;or depressing pasts that could have led to them to a dark place. Naruto&nbsp;Uzumaki was shunned by his village&nbsp;because he had&nbsp;a demon housed inside his body. While he responds to this by wanting to prove his worth to his ninja village, he could have easily done what Gaara did and started killing the people who treated him <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-songs-with-monster-in-the-title/ranker-music?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">like a monster</a>.&nbsp;Edward Elric was willing to mess with bringing the dead back to life, but if his life had taken a different turn, he might have continued his experiments for more nefarious purposes, like Orochimaru.

None of these anime characters became villains, but in an alternate universe, they easily could have been.

Not every anime hero actually looks the part. In fact, there are plenty of menacing anime heroes who look straight up villainous.

Sometimes, this is because they have anti-hero tendencies, and the character designers were trying to imply that through visual cues. This is definitely the case for Hiei from Yu Yu Hakusho, a former criminal who is still largely on his own team, but frequently works to protect humans and demons alike from danger. But sometimes, these types of characters defy expectations about what a hero should look like.&nbsp;Sajin Komamura of&nbsp;Bleach&nbsp;may look like a menacing wolfman, but he&#39;s actually a gentle soul.

Anime heroes who look like villains can take some getting used to, but they add to the overall visual experience of the series in which they appear.&nbsp;

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> boasts no shortage of powerful children, with characters like&nbsp;Sakura Kinomoto and Naruto Uzumaki&nbsp;holding the fate of the world in their adolescent hands. But for all the powerful child heroes of the anime universe there exist deadly anime kids with equally impressive, if dangerous, abilities. Anime never shies away from blessing young people with great power, and just like adults, anime children can let power go to their heads. Unlike the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-annoying-anime-kids/nida-sea" target="_blank">most annoying anime children</a>, many dangerous anime kids actually make compelling character studies.

Many of these&nbsp;kids are dangerous serial killers who easily hold their own against adults. Some possess formidable powers like&nbsp;Mariko Kurama from&nbsp;Elfen Lied, who uses telekinesis to&nbsp;rip&nbsp;apart enemies for fun. Maybe they&#39;re blisteringly intelligent like Johan Liebert of Monster, a child nihilist with plans to instigate the apocalypse. No matter what the reason for their brutality, adults are better off staying far, far away from the deadliest anime children.&nbsp;

My Hero Academia

Shouto&nbsp;Todoroki is one of the most popular characters in&nbsp;My Hero Academia,&nbsp;and also one of the most powerful. With his good looks, his ice-and-fire power combo, and his talent at winning fights, he seems to have everything going for him - except for a turbulent family life involving a father who literally bred him to surpass his rival All Might, and who used abuse to reinforce his point. Are there other characters like Shouto Todoroki in anime? You bet there are!

Many of the characters who are similar to Shouto&nbsp;Todoroki were raised in families who expected them to be fierce, emotionless warriors who would carry out destinies that were decided for them before they were even born. Sanji&nbsp;Vinsmoke&nbsp;from&nbsp;One Piece&nbsp;and Killua&nbsp;Zoldyck&nbsp;from&nbsp;Hunter x Hunter&nbsp;are great examples of this trope. There are also characters like Yuki Sohma from Fruits Basket and Kousei Arima from&nbsp;Your Lie in April&nbsp;who aren&#39;t expected to be violent&nbsp;but still must define themselves by defying their families.

In addition to stats like gender, location, and magical powers,&nbsp;anime characters often have canon birthdays. Not only does this give dedicated&nbsp;fans a chance to celebrate their favorite characters once a year, but it also reveals their astrological sign. Sometimes, it seems like the creators were choosing their characters&#39; signs with their personalities in mind&nbsp;because they exhibit most, if not all of the signs&#39; signature traits. At other times, it seems like their sign wasn&#39;t considered.

With that in mind, let&#39;s take a look at Cancer sign anime characters - characters who were born between June 22nd and July 22nd. The fourth sign in the zodiac cycle is a water sign that&#39;s represented by the crab. Cancers are deeply empathetic, social people who are known for their powerful caretaking abilities - but they can easily slide into codependency and even self-harm&nbsp;when life is going badly. Izuku Midoriya of&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;is a great example of this phenomenon - he desperately wants to be a hero and help those in need, but he&#39;s so serious about it that he accidentally hurts himself in the process. Other characters, like Ichigo Kurosaki of&nbsp;Bleach,&nbsp;exhibit few if any Cancer traits.&nbsp;

One of the great things about anime is that typically, shows will feature <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters" target="_blank">a wonderful cast of&nbsp;supporting characters</a> with which to identify. The worst thing about anime, however, is that if you can't stomach the main protagonist, waiting for your favorite supporting character to show up can be excruciating.This problem intensifies when supporting characters who were originally important to the story end up being forgotten by the shows creators. Naruto and <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-dragon-ball-z-sucks/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Dragon Ball Z</a> are two famous examples of anime where the supporting cast was increasingly underutilized as the show&nbsp;progressed, much to the&nbsp;dismay of fans. In times like these, you have to wonder how bad it is to wish&nbsp;death upon&nbsp;the hero of your favorite show.&nbsp;Following this line of thought, here are 15 supporting anime characters that —&nbsp;intentionally or not —&nbsp;ended up outshining the&nbsp;protagonist. Despite their lack of screen time, these side characters are&nbsp;more compelling&nbsp;than the show's&nbsp;main attraction.&nbsp;
