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;

Don't worry if you can't; it's why we created this list of the coolest tatted anime characters. Some characters have tattoos that symbolize their bond with a certain group, such as Ace's Whitebeard tattoo in One Piece. Other characters sport a tribal tattoo that seems to only be for looks, like Renji from Bleach and Kamina from Gurren Lagan. Tattoos can serve as a reminder of the past, whether it's good or bad. Take Nami's tattoo that she recived from Arlong for example. Although he is a dark part of her past, the tatoo on her arm serves as a reminder of her years before joining the strawhat crew. &nbsp;Lots of people have adopted these anime tattoos into real ones. Remember when you thought you were the only one who had the idea to get the&nbsp;Ouroboros tattoo when you saw how cool they looked on the Homonculi? Tattoos from&nbsp;Fullmetal Alchemist are actually quite common, with people opting either for the Ouroboros symbol or a replica of Scar's arm.Anyways, check out the list below and vote for your <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-top-10-favorite-anime-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">favorite anime characters</a> that have tattoos!
