The Japanese site Goo Ranking asked the public to elect the most powerful character in the manga universe, all creations and types combined. In the end, and to everyone's surprise, Goku, Naruto and Luffy did not even appear at all in the top three. And the least we can say is that the result will surprise and will continue to be debated.
Top 10 Most Powerful Anime Characters
When we talk about the strongest anime characters, names like Goku, Naruto or Luffy immediately come to mind. However, a recent list published by the Japanese site Goo Ranking (and relayed by Anime Senpai) might just shake up your perception of things. This ranking, based on public votes in Japan, presents surprises and some unexpected choices. Here is an overview of the results.
- Saitama | One Punch Man
- Rimuru Tempest |Me, when I am reincarnated as a Slime
- Zeno Sama | Dragon Ball Super
- Satoru Gojo | Jujutsu Kaisen
- Koro-sensei | Assassination Classroom
- Son Goku | Dragon Ball
- Kusuo Saiki | The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
- Levi Ackerman | Attack on Titan
- Arale Norimaki | Dr. Slump
- Doraemon | Doraemon
At the top of the ranking, we find Saitama, the hero of One Punch Man. It must also be recognized that his ability to defeat any opponent with a single punch places him at the top. But is this supremacy incontestable? Although popular, some could contest his place as number one against other characters who are just as powerful.
Surprises and Absentees
Obviously, since the ranking was determined by public votes, it is natural that some choices spark debate. Iconic characters like Gokuor Naruto, often cited as the most powerful, find themselves relegated here behind less conventional characters, such as Rimuru Tempest or Kusuo Saiki. Worse, Arale, the heroine of Dr. Slump, although officially more powerful than Goku, finds herself three places lower.
For some fans, this list seems to favor the most popular characters of the momentto the detriment of those whose abilities are, objectively, more impressive. However, the diversity of genders represented in this top 10 demonstrates that strength is not measured solely by the ability to destroy planets or manipulate space-time. In any case, it is difficult to separate subjectivity from objectivity in this type of ranking, especially since we are not in a scientifically measurable and quantifiable field either.

The full list has 41 characters, and several other popular heroes occupy notable places. For example, Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach is in 40th position, a ranking that might surprise his fans.As for the very popular Vegeta, from Dragon Ball, he is here in 29th place, while Yoriichi Tsugikuni, from Demon Slayer, comes in at 18th place. Even more surprising, Naruto Uzumaki is only 17th, followed by Whis (Dragon Ball Super) in 16th place. On the other hand, characters like Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen) or Giorno Giovanna (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) appear higher in the ranking, in 14th and 13th place respectively. Luffy, hero of One Piece, falls just outside the top 10, at #11. Another curious fact: Ash Ketchum from Pokémon is at 32nd place.
A ranking that will cause debate
The ranking proposed by Goo Ranking reflects above all the preferences of fans rather than a purely objective evaluation of the capacities of each character. Figures like Zeno (Dragon Ball Super), capable of destroying entire universes, fail to outdo characters like Saitama or Rimuru here. However, the latter do not have the same scope in terms of destructive power. In short, it is clear that this list will generate heated debates among fans.
