The 10 Most Overpowered Abilities in Anime History, Ranked


One of the most entertaining aspects of the Japanese anime industry is seeing how far characters will go to be the strongest, and sometimes it seems downright unfair when the laws of power scaling and reality are broken. While it’s normal for shonen and some seinen to power up gradually with hard work and training arcs, some characters jump right to the end with seriously overpowered abilities that render almost everything else moot.

Interestingly, it’s both the villains and the heroes who use these overpowered skills and powers, and it takes clever writing to give the heroes OP abilities without totally ruining the tension of the story. Either way, when an anime character has unfair power, it’s a marvel to watch, but the plot needs to be handled correctly so that the story can continue when a character cheats in battle. But when it works, these super-powered abilities become downright legendary and will blow away any fan.

The least of these is The Visionary, wielded by Sternritter V Gremmy Thoumeaux, who harnesses the power of Gremmy’s own imagination. Without any clear effort on his part, Gremmy can reshape reality as he sees fit.

In defense, Gremmy can heal all wounds with The Visionary by imagining his body whole again.

Many Espers can be found in A certain scientific railgunThe anime world, Accelerator being one of the strongest of them, if not the strongest. His ability, also called Accelerator, envelops him in a thin AIM field that can change the vector values ​​of everything around him, which is an almost foolproof way for Accelerator to launch an attack and defend even against enemies the most powerful.

In most battles, Accelerator is simply untouchable as it consciously and unconsciously changes the vectors of any object around it, even fast-moving ones like bullets. Notably, this overpowered ability would even redirect sunlight and gravity, so Accelerator must choose to allow these things to affect him. Its limited exposure to UV rays and sunlight has caused it to appear pale.

No one can fight the flow of time

Dio Brando and his Stand, The World, appear menacing in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

As fans probably expected, vampire supervillain DIO had his own outrageously overpowered Stand by the time Jotaro’s team faced him in Cairo.

Stands like Cream and Star Platinum were already formidable, but The World was on a whole new level with its ability to freeze time. When activated, this ability stops time for everyone and everything except DIO and The World, making it easy for DIO to finish off his hapless enemies in a one-sided beatdown. It also helps that between frozen times, The World is a melee monster on par with anything Star Platinum can do.

While other curse techniques can be quite powerful and flashy, there is simply no match for Satoru Gojo’s Limitless power, harnessing the power of infinity. On defense, Limitless creates infinite space between Gojo and his enemy, making him completely untouchable.

Giga Drill Break eclipses the observable universe

It’s a technique on an impossible scale

colossal titans march for the rumble.

Giga Drill Break from Gurren Lagann reigns as the most mastered anime technique of all time, not because it is inherently unfair or one-sided, but because of its incomprehensible scale and destructive power. It didn’t take long to Gurren Lagann to establish its combat system as being “bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger”, with moon-sized ships eventually becoming the norm. Then Simon’s own robot, the famous Gurren Lagann, took this to impossible heights against the leader Antispiral.

All the rules disappeared when Gurren Lagann became larger than the observable universe itself, a move that goes well beyond parody in any sense. Then, Simon manifested the Giga Drill Break, a gigantic spiral energy drill that was several times larger than the universe, and this drill was exactly what he needed to defeat the Antispirals once and for all. When the threat is of such cosmic magnitude, shonen heroes like Simon shatter all expectations and surpass the universe itself to save the day.
