For that reason we're ranking the best anime moms of all time, with the help of your votes. Who is your favorite mother character in anime?

The Greatest Mother Characters in Anime, Ranked

Being a mom isn&#39;t easy - but when you&#39;re a mom in an anime, it&#39;s a whole lot harder. That&#39;s because it&#39;s super common for anime characters to have backstories that involve something terrible happening to their mother.

Sometimes, the worst things that have happened to anime moms involve&nbsp;a particularly tragic or gruesome demise - that&#39;s what happens to Carla Jaeger in&nbsp;Attack on Titan when man-eating Titans invade her hometown. Sometimes it&#39;s abuse at the hands of their husband - Rei Todoroki&#39;s suffering in My Hero Academia&nbsp;was entirely caused by her husband Enji. Sometimes it&#39;s something horrible happening to her child: when Izumi Curtis&#39; baby is stillborn in Fullmetal Alchemist, she tries to bring it back through alchemy, but fails with horrific consequences.&nbsp;

Which of these are among <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/saddest-anime-series-of-all-time/ranker-anime?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">the saddest anime</a> mom stories? That&#39;s up to you - vote up the ones that really make your heart hurt.&nbsp;

When most people think of anime characters who are spectacular at kicking butt, most don&#39;t think of anime mothers. While&nbsp;they certainly aren&#39;t the majority, there are quite a few anime moms who can hold their own in a fight.

Not all of the strongest anime moms are actually good at the whole parenting thing. In fact, a few of them are absolute monsters when it comes to raising their kids - one particularly chilling example of this is Medusa Gorgon from&nbsp;Soul Eater.&nbsp;Others manage the dual task of raising their kids with loving care while also maintaining strong bodies and awesome magical powers. Android 18 of&nbsp;DBZ&nbsp;is a great mom&nbsp;and a great warrior.&nbsp;

15 Super Strong Anime Moms Who Could Kick Your Butt

The generation of ninja that&nbsp;Naruto&nbsp;focuses on is super strong. Whether it&#39;s&nbsp;taught or inherited, many of them get their signature techniques - or at least their potential - from their parents.&nbsp;

Who are the strongest parents of Naruto characters? Naruto Uzumaki&#39;s parents, Kushina and Minato, are obvious contenders. Kushina kept the Nine Tailed fox sealed in her body, and had nearly limitless chakra potential. Meanwhile, Minato was so powerful that he was named the Hokage. There&#39;s also Rasa, Gaara&#39;s father, who may have made some serious mistakes in the parenting department, but whose incredible strength and awesome jutsu earned him the Kazekage title. Shikamaru&#39;s dad, Shikaku, is every bit as brainy as his son, and even Mikoto Uchiha, who we never see fight, was once a&nbsp;jōnin-level ninja.

With so many great choices, it&#39;s hard to pick which&nbsp;of the&nbsp;Naruto parents&nbsp;is truly the strongest. Vote up all the characters you think deserves the top spot!

Who are the best female characters in Naruto?&nbsp;That depends on what you like in a character. Some viewers prefer sweet, shy characters whose quiet demeanors belie their fighting prowess; Hinata Hyuga&nbsp;​​​​​falls into that category. Perhaps you enjoy no-nonsense professionals who keep everyone else in line, in which case, Shizune&nbsp;would likely be your favorite. What about all-powerful, ancient goddesses who are also formidable villains?

Sadly, there are fewer&nbsp;awesome female characters in&nbsp;Naruto&nbsp;to choose from than male ones. Like in many shonen anime, the show&#39;s gender representation is more than a little unbalanced. Still, the amazing ladies from&nbsp;Naruto&nbsp;stand tall&nbsp;as strong, independent characters in one of the most popular series of all time.

One common criticism that fans have of Naruto&nbsp;is that all of the truly strong characters are men. While it&#39;s true that the series can feel pretty unbalanced at times, that doesn&#39;t mean that there are no powerful women. There are, and some of them are spectacular.&nbsp;

The 20 Strongest Female Characters In Naruto, Ranked

One of the strongest forces in the world of&nbsp;Naruto&nbsp;are the Tailed Beasts. These creatures boast tremendous power, and are generally contained by being sealed into powerful or not-so-powerful ninja. These people are called&nbsp;jinchuriki.

The strongest jinchuriki in Naruto&nbsp;are able to control their sealed beast to the fullest extent - often by building positive relationships with them over time, but sometimes by force. Those who are less powerful are overcome by the beasts, unable to use their ability fully or stop them from destroying things against their will.

For this list, we&#39;re ranking the jinchuriki from strongest to weakest, so vote up those whose power leaves you in awe and vote down those you think were in over their heads.&nbsp;

For this list, we&#39;ll be looking at some of the best quotes from Naruto characters. Many, like Zabuza&#39;s painful realization that he&#39;s always loved Haku, and Itachi Uchiha&#39;s heartfelt apology to Sasuke, will break your heart. Others will impress you with the characters&#39; growth and determination - Kakashi&#39;s line about abandoning your friends is powerful not just for what he says, but&nbsp;because of how hard-won his perspective was.

Konohagakure, the ninja village of the Land of Fire, is home to some of the most dangerous ninja in the world of&nbsp;Naruto. Some of the strongest Hidden Leaf Ninja are famous figures like Hashirama&nbsp;and Tobirama Senju, who helped found the village and set the tone for everything else that would happen later. Others would go on to lead the village, like Minato Namikaze and Tsunade. Still others would ultimately oppose the village that made them - Orochimaru was one of the three Legendary Sannin, but ended up defecting from the village and becoming a criminal. And of course, there are more modern figures like Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.

Some anime characters are clever and cunning, but this list isn't devoted to them. These anime airheads are not the brightest in the bunch, and that's perfectly okay. Take Luffy from One Piece, for example, who doesn't really have much running through his head besides food and beating people up. Mugen in Samurai Champloo barely knows how to read&nbsp;and is constantly picking his nose with a blank look on his face.
