Top 10 strongest anime characters without supernatural abilities

There are a lot of strong anime characters each with their own characteristic powers and abilities, these abilities give them great strength and power yet there are still characters without any such abilities but are still considered great warriors, some even in their verse.  some of them are:  10. Suzaku there's no denying the fact that Suzaku was a force to behold, even without powers of geass he is still considered one of, if not the best pilot in the series.  he can easily destroy most enemies through the use of his Lancelot.  he does have some anger issues and an inability to commit crime therefore he is positioned low on this list. even still he is a force to behold. 9. Brawler Now... not many people might know about this guy, as he isn't as mainstream as the others. quick introduction: Brawler is a criminal in the anime series known as Akudama Drive. He is considered one of the most dangerous criminals (akudama) known to have the best fighting ability amongst...

How does plot armor affect an anime


According to oxford plot armor is referred to
 the phenomenon in fiction whereby the main character is allowed to survive dangerous situations because they are needed for the plot to continue.



I would define plot amour as the necessary shielding of a character for the continuity of the story.
it's like the grace of the fictional world

while plot amour might be seen as "not needed" it is extremely important for the story to go on.
afterall you can't have an anime without the main character.


Plot armor doesn't just work for the main character, it also works for every character of significance in the series.
for instance, you'd see a situation where other characters would fall like flies or die in an unexpected situation but for some reason, the main character seems to be safe or untouched. another instance might be the case where a situation that might have killed any other character would somehow give the said character abilities instead. at times it might not even be a matter of life and death, it might just be powerups. Anime characters at times get unnecessary powerups like it's nothing just so that they could defeat the enemy

Examples of plot armor

some examples of where these have happened are:
1. Natsu uses the power of friendship to win battles
2. No one dies in bleach; apparently this is a common one, fans have been on about how people don't die in bleach, and everyone seems to survive one way or the other even if it doesn't suit the situation.
3. Goku's powerups are just too convenient

How plot amour affects anime

yes... plot amour can seem a bit bland and unfair but it does have its function. it might be that the villain just needed enough hype or that the writer has other plans that could benefit the story.
The writers themselves are a big influence on how a story goes, we see that plot amour can be played masterfully, and the introduction of powerups or survival situations can happen in a way that takes our mind off the plot amour.
so... basically plot amour structures an anime and gives it the opportunity for growth and further development.

Thread users are not usually common in animes. Though they are extremely skillful, just imagine the amount of control they have on their fingers to perform such huge feats. Thread/string has a lot of application and can be used in many different ways.   And their abilities ranges from mostrous level to normal level. Fortunately there are no normal level string users in this list. Their( string users) abilities might be a little confusing but when you get the hang of it, it will totally get you rolled up. Here are the TOP 10 STRING/THREAD USERS IN ANIME;      1. DOFLAMINGO DOFLAMINGO is one of the worst kind of villain ever encountered in anime.

Raizo Raizo is a ninja known as Raizo of the mist. despite his large appearance, he is quite fast and is capable of ninjutsu. 8.

Kanjur...

Deku's new look; a new turning point in my hero academia

Well...the manga's of my hero academia has shown us a new look at Deku. This new look has a mixture of the looks of grand Torino, stain, and obviously his dressing.  The truth is that we know that when Deku fights to protect something, he always does even at the cost of destroying his own body. As we've seen in virtually all his battles were he fights a villain and pushes his ideals non-stop.  But that has come to an end as deku fails to protect his classmates against all for one. This left him broken and torn, because he was thinking that it was his fault his classmates got severely injured but he has forgotten the fact that his classmates are also heroes and they are ready to to put their lives on the line to protect others. Anyways.....deku then, feeling a sense of defeat decided to leave U.A academy in other not to exposed others to danger.  He then becomes rogue and is now searching for all for one.

What is the strongest anime ability

there are a lot of anime characters with different kinds of abilities and there's one thing we know, and that is; these abilities can be overpowered to a great extent.  in your opinion what do you think is the greatest anime ability, super strength? super speed? time travel? Or maybe pure muscle power from gruesome workout ?  no. in my opinion the fact that an ability can be quantified with an English word means that it is not the strongest.  ok... some of you might not agree with that but hear me out. Remember stars and stripes from the anime my hero academia . she is the number one hero in the united states. but if you look at her ability, I don't think that a specific word can suit her ability. her ability is called New order and it is an ability that allowed her to set a rule onto her surroundings, allowing her to manipulate and bestow new properties onto herself and the world around her. To activate her Quirk, she had to first make physical contact with the target ...

MOMONOSUKE’S FULL POTENTIAL

The strength rating of one piece characters can vary exponentially, there are characters who appear to be extremely weak but yet turn out to be strong like chopper, Robin, name although she uses weapons. There are also characters that were weak at first but later became strong after all luffy wasn’t exactly strong when he met Ace and Sabo, and I believe Momonosuke will spout in strength. He will be worthy of the Kozuki name and will be able to live in the path and honor in which his father has set for him.  Since Momonosuke’s transformation into his adult form the series has focused him on overcoming his fears. When Momonosuke bit Kaido, luffy told Momonosuke that now that he has bitten the king of beast what else can he be afraid of. Momonosuke will not only be strong but also brave he might even be stronger than his father in the future. Because what drove oden to become strong was curiosity but in Momonosuke’s case it will be his loyalty and sense of duty to both the land of wan...

why blue lock is the best anime of 2022

why is blue lock the best anime of 2022, I have one answer to that... tournament.  yes, tournament. blue lock has brought out a highly competitive environment for soccer.  it features a game where there will not only be competitions between each team but also between team members.  Every major character has their strength and the main character is not given some kind of godly ability that is overpowered. if you look at it, it has the same vibe as the basketball anime Kuroko no basketball and that's why people still refer to it as the best sports anime.  an anime should have a way to engage its audiences; at times it's through comedy, fan service, or even through the story but in blue lock's case it's through a godly tournament-like action. one other thing blue lock has that's better than most anime currently is its panels. I can body say that blue lock has better panels than every anime of 2022. the panels not only reassure you of its tournament-like prowess but inc...

Lookism chapter 423; the arrival

Ok, lookism has always been a masterpiece but today's chapter has once again proven it's superiority. For quite some time we haven't been seeing the members of the supposed group of friends and frienemies. But today we've finally gotten a whiff of action.  It's time to see the result of their training,  They all came back in one way or another different from their previous selves. Vasco came back with far more "hardware" than he previously possessed ,he's grown beards but one thing we don't know is how far he has progressed in his martial art. Zack on the other hand looks more of a pretty boy than he ever was but he isn't to be undermined because with just sight alone his foe was able to see the shocking superiority to his former self.  But the most awaited, Daniel Park. Although he wasn't any different from his previous self physically but one could tell just from the entrance that he was definitely different and he meant business

One piece; Robin's devil form- another haki user emerges

The recent chapter of one piece has not ceased to amaze. And the most intriguing thing in the chapter is that we get to see one of the straw hats unlock a new ability. One might expect luffy, or Zoro, or any one of the major fighters in the crew but Oda just proved to us that each member of the crew is as fitting to be a member of the crew of the pirate king.    We see in the fight of Robin against Maria when the tides of the battle changes turn in favor of Maria; Robin had just brought out a huge version of herself, much like how she springs out body parts. Maria stated out that the version of herself that she sprung out makes out for a better punching bag, she saw that the physical damages to the parts that Robin sprung up also affected her. She then stated that she has fighting experience as she rushed in with lots of blows on Robin.    Robin took so much damage that she had to retract her abilities, thereby making Maria think she was about to run away.  ...

Baki vs Mikey; a laughable comparison 🤣

It really ridiculous that people actually believe Mikey from Tokyo revenge can compare against Baki....mikey is just some kid who barely know how to hold his own. there is absolutely nothing that mikey could do that would damage Baki. if I'm not exaggerating....i would say no person in Tokyo revenge can beat baki even when going all against one.   Baki is on a whole different level from most anime characters and he is far above the league of Mikey, in speed, strength and brutality.    you can't compare a guy who can contend against the strongest being on earth with the head of a small gang. it would be a complete massacre.

Boruto; Naruto next generation-naruto's baryon mode explained

In the recent boruto manga, we've seen Naruto's new transformation, the bayron mode.      Today I'm going to be explaining the baryon mode. According to the manga the baryon mode is likened to nuclear fusion. This is brought by the fusion of kuruma's chakra and Naruto's, this fusion require Naruto's chakra as a base.     The new baryon mode greatly increases the speed and strength of Naruto to the extent that he began to beat the pull out of ishiki, but great powers comes at a cost. It decreases Naruto's life. That means that after Naruto uses this mode he is guaranteed to die.      As kuruma explained; the baryon mode reduces the life span of ishiki each time he takes a hit from naruto but at the same time also reduces Naruto's life span. It was a gamble due to the fact that ishiki body could not handle the energy he carries and he needed to find a new host.
