Heroes Built Different
Reality has rules, but some anime characters didn't get the memo. They've pushed past usual limitations and achieved powers that boggle the mind. So, here's a look at some characters the audience believes are the strongest.
22. Denji (Chainsaw Man)
Most protagonists start with dreams of saving the world. Denji just wanted to eat a jam sandwich. But underneath that simple exterior lies the most feared devil in existence. One that could erase concepts from reality just by eating them. Nuclear weapons? Gone.

22. Denji (Chainsaw Man) (Cont.)
The real genius of Denji's character is how his power grows through emotional development rather than training. Every genuine human connection makes him stronger, turning his journey of self-discovery into literal power-ups. Like other devils, Chainsaw Man can regenerate his body.

21. Gilgamesh (Fate) (Cont.)
He usually loses because he's too proud to use them properly. His ultimate prop, Ea, reveals the “truth” of creation itself, but he rarely utilizes it because most opponents aren't “worthy”. Gilgamesh is believed to be 1/3 human and 2/3 god, having immense power.
