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;

We intentionally didn't include every character from Bleach since there are so many, but feel free to add as many of the soul reapers as you want.

It's hard not to love <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-female-anime-characters/ranker-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">anime characters</a> with red hair. Just like in the real world, they tend to be a little more unique and special looking compared to brown and blonde haired people. Red haired anime characters have become strong fan favorites over the years, maybe because they stand out and are always full of life and energy. They've appeared in a variety of&nbsp;popular genres, including incest anime, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-harem-anime/reference">ecchi harem </a><a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/best-harem-anime/reference">animes</a>, <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/top-10-horror-anime/ranker-anime">scary animes</a>, and more.&nbsp;This list includes both male and female red hair anime characters that are powerful, sexy, funny, and everything in between.

Here&#39;s our list of the coolest anime characters who&nbsp;have scars, as voted on by anime fans like you. You might have never realized it, but some of the toughest anime characters have scars. They are worn proudly by these warriors, who got them in sword fights, gun battles, explosions, and other crazy incidents. Which one of these characters has the most badass scar? Sometimes scars are small and subtle, but some of these characters have some pretty major ones. Take Zoro from One Piece for example, who has one not only on his eye, but a giant one on his stomach as well. Scar from Fullmetal Alchemist has one in the shape of big X on his face, as a result of Kimbley using his explosive aclhemy on his face. Anyway, we want you to vote for your favorite scarred anime character on this list. Don&#39;t just vote for the character, vote for how badass you think the scar is. For example, Yamcha from <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/why-dragon-ball-z-sucks/stephanroget?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Dragon Ball Z</a> isn&#39;t a very strong character, but his scar is pretty damn cool.

Whether it&#39;s the moment when viewers are first introduced to a character or a time when they show up at the last minute to save the day, an anime entrance done right can be one of the standout moments in an anime.&nbsp;

What are some of&nbsp;the best anime entrances? One memorable example is when Shanks appears to put an end to war in&nbsp;One Piece. Conversely, there&#39;s Madara&#39;s appearance in&nbsp;Naruto -&nbsp;after being revived by Edo Tensei, he immediately starts wreaking havoc.

Some of these entrances&nbsp;peaceful, while others are anything but. Which ones impressed you the most?

Whether renowned for their criminal prowess, creative abilities, or knack for saving the day,&nbsp;anime characters with legendary reputations are larger than life figures who inspire others to either be like them or to fight&nbsp;against them.

Everyone in the world of&nbsp;My Hero Academia&nbsp;knows about the Number 1 hero, All Might. That&#39;s why Izuku&nbsp;wears his merchandise and why the Number 2 hero Endeavor hates his guts. Not every sterling reputation is earned, however: King from&nbsp;One Punch Man&nbsp;isn&#39;t actually the hero everyone thinks he is. Meanwhile, some characters, like Yakumo Yurakutei from&nbsp;Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu,&nbsp;have actually earned their clout, but still don&#39;t feel like it&#39;s deserved.

Of all the anime that has ever been made, Eiichiro Oda's pirate adventure series&nbsp;One Piece has to have the largest cast of characters. It may be ambitious, but this list ranks every single One Piece character from best to worst, including Luffy's main crew, every One Piece Villain, all the Marines, and any other secondary characters. Every single arc from the show is taken into account for this list, including Arlong Park, Skypeia, Drum Island and any other main or side arcs in the series.

According to the <a href="http://www.who.int/disabilities/world_report/2011/report/en/">World Health Organization</a>, about 15% of the world's population lives with some kind of disability. With numbers like that, any kind of media worth paying attention to should have some decent representation of disabled people. Luckily for anime fans, there are some wonderful characters who fit the bill.Some anime that tackle&nbsp;disability do&nbsp;it with nuance and specificity - if you watch Prince of Tennis, for instance, you're going to learn a lot about&nbsp;Guillain-Barr&eacute; Syndrome. If you watch Gangsta, you're going to learn something about how real people deal with being deaf. Other anime is more vague about it, giving their characters unspecified injuries or heart problems with symptoms that don't quite add up - but these characters can still tell us important things about the social and&nbsp;emotional implications of disability.&nbsp;All of these characters are an important part of their story, sometimes because of how the show handles their disability, and sometimes because they're just really freakin' awesome characters. See if you find your favorite, or maybe find someone new. &nbsp;
