15 Anime Characters Who Could Destroy The World Easily

Certain anime characters possess power levels far exceeding anything limited to destroying cities. Their abilities – whether through transformations or reality-altering quirks – make even world-ending scenarios seem commonplace. Considering what they’re capable of, it’s easy to imagine how a single mistake or decision could lead to irreversible consequences.

This list highlights the abilities characters demonstrate in their stories. It explains how those powers work, provides examples of their scale, and mentions any tools or items that enhance them. We’ve also included a note about the studios that created these memorable moments, as that’s important to many fans.

Son Goku

Goku’s most powerful transformations are capable of destruction far beyond what a single planet can withstand. In ‘Dragon Ball Super,’ he battles opponents who can obliterate entire universes, and their clashes put the very structure of space at risk. When he achieves Ultra Instinct, his body moves and fights automatically, bypassing the natural limitations that normally restrict his strength.

He’s able to reach such incredible power through training and tapping into divine energy. Techniques like using God Ki, fusion, and items like the Potara earrings all drastically increase his potential. The way Toei Animation presents the tournaments and battles with gods really emphasizes this scale, showing things like dimensions being ripped apart and shockwaves traveling vast distances.

Saitama

As a huge anime fan, I’m completely captivated by Saitama in ‘One-Punch Man’. It’s incredible – he just finishes off any threat with a single, powerful punch! The show really drives home how unbelievably strong he is, practically limitless. Seriously, he’s casually splitting clouds that stretch across entire continents and completely nullifying energy blasts that would obliterate cities. The story constantly throws out bigger and bigger challenges, and he just breezes past them all – it’s like every scale of power is just something he can easily overcome whenever he needs to.

His ability seems comical, but its impact on the world is very real and destructive. A single, unrestrained attack could wipe out huge areas. The impressive action sequences from both seasons – created by Madhouse in season one and J.C.Staff in season two – clearly show the devastating force of his power through visible shockwaves and massive craters, suggesting the damage would only grow worse if he wasn’t controlled.

Beerus

Beerus is a powerful God of Destruction responsible for eliminating planets. In ‘Dragon Ball Super,’ he demonstrates attacks capable of destroying worlds with a single touch, and his fight with Goku threatens the entire universe. He also possesses the Hakai technique, which can completely erase anything – even beings and objects that are incredibly strong.

In this context, a god’s power is absolute because it overcomes even the strongest defenses. If Beerus decides to destroy a planet, he can do so without fail – and the story presents this as commonplace. The animation often shows these destructions happening quickly and without effort, emphasizing just how easily he can erase a world.

Zeno

Zeno, a powerful being in ‘Dragon Ball Super,’ can destroy entire universes as punishment. Once he’s decided to erase a timeline or even multiple universes, nothing can stop him – the show portrays his power as completely absolute.

Zeno is so powerful that destroying entire planets would be effortless for him – they’re tiny compared to the things he usually deals with. The way Toei Animation portrays him – calm and with minimal expression – while realities are erased highlights just how little effort it would take for him to end worlds.

Kaguya Otsutsuki

Kaguya possesses immense power, controlling space and energy far beyond the scale of entire countries. Throughout ‘Naruto Shippuden’, she creates portals to dangerous realms and unleashes attacks capable of destroying landscapes and altering the world around her. Her most powerful technique, the Expansive Truth Seeking Ball, is considered a global-level threat.

She has the ability to absorb energy, heal quickly, and overcome most defensive techniques. This powerful combination allows her to dismantle entire armies and neutralize leaders before they can even organize. The anime studio, Pierrot, visually represents this by frequently changing the setting and establishing incredibly high stakes, where even a small mistake can have devastating consequences.

Yhwach

Yhwach has the ability to change what will happen by taking and sharing power among the Quincy. In ‘Bleach’ and ‘Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War’, he combines his power with that of the Soul King and starts to disrupt the harmony between the worlds of humans, Soul Society, and Hueco Mundo. The series presents this harmony as essential for maintaining a stable reality.

If the delicate balance between worlds fails, everything will be destroyed. Yhwach’s power allows him to see and choose what happens, meaning simply being strong isn’t enough to defeat him. The anime visually portrays this with changing skies, crumbling defenses, and a sense that all life is in danger.

Sailor Moon

Usagi’s Silver Crystal is a powerful source of energy that can heal and restore on a massive scale. In ‘Sailor Moon,’ she uses it to bring back extinct species, fix broken timelines, and defeat creatures that drain the life from planets. However, this same energy is so strong that it can be destructive if not carefully controlled.

Later story developments reveal her power could potentially restore the entire universe. The same crystal capable of resetting existence could also destroy it, depending on how it’s used. The endings of Toei Animation’s series demonstrate that she’s capable of rewriting reality and causing rebirths, making the destruction of planets seem like a minor application of her abilities.

Tetsuo Shima

Tetsuo’s newfound powers quickly spiral out of control. In ‘Akira’, he causes a massive explosion that destroys parts of Tokyo and then transforms into a being capable of bending reality, affecting everything around him. The longer his powers grow without being contained, the more dangerous they become.

The real threat lies in his escalating power. As his body and mind grow beyond human capabilities, the world around him begins to break down. TMS Entertainment expertly portrays this body horror and widespread destruction with sharp visuals, making it feel inevitable that this localized devastation will soon become global.

Eren Yeager

Eren gains control of the Founding Titan, initiating the Rumbling – a devastating event in ‘Attack on Titan’ where colossal Titans begin marching, destroying everything in their path. The only thing stopping this destruction is Eren’s own decision to end it.

Coordinate power not only alters memories and family histories, but also allows someone to control entire groups of people. The anime adaptation started with Wit Studio and was later continued by MAPPA, and both studios portray the Rumbling as a gradual, yet unstoppable, path to global destruction once it’s unleashed.

Simon

Simon drives giant robots that range in size from cities to entire galaxies. Later in the series ‘Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann’, these robots become so powerful that planets seem insignificant. The robots are fueled by ‘spiral energy’ which gets stronger as Simon’s determination grows and as more people join the fight, effectively removing any limit on their power.

The danger is genuine because of how powerful that system is. Unleashed and used for destruction, its energy could easily surpass world-ending levels. The anime studio Gainax visually emphasizes this by depicting battles on a massive scale, treating planets as mere background elements.

Haruhi Suzumiya

Haruhi has the power to unknowingly change reality to fit what she wants. In the anime ‘The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya,’ her feelings can create strange events and beings that try to fix the world, but sometimes in dangerous ways that could erase it completely. The other characters realize that Haruhi’s boredom is a serious problem because it truly is a threat to everything.

Her ability isn’t reliant on spells or technology; it’s more like the world simply changing on its own. Kyoto Animation highlights this by showing ordinary moments unexpectedly turning into the extraordinary, suggesting how easily reality could shift if she desired.

Anos Voldigoad

Anos is a demon king reborn with incredible magical power that surpasses normal restrictions. In ‘The Misfit of Demon King Academy,’ he effortlessly defeats opponents – he can destroy them with just a word, bring people back to life, and even change how magic works. Plus, his sword, Venuzdonoa, can instantly cancel out anything it slices.

The story’s premise of a world-ending event stems from the idea that nothing can withstand complete cancellation of power. Silver Link expertly builds on this concept with well-defined magic systems and clear visual cues, effectively showcasing the overwhelming power of the main character.

Rimuru Tempest

Rimuru in ‘That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’ develops incredible abilities, starting with skills that let him learn and adapt from anything he encounters. He gains the power to copy magic, trap spirits, and create areas where he controls the fight. As he grows stronger, dealing with major disasters becomes commonplace.

By quickly learning from and understanding every attack, any defense can be overcome. The world’s safety depends on choosing compassion. The game visually demonstrates improvements with clear explanations of abilities and impactful arena-wide effects, highlighting how quickly battles can intensify.

Shigeo Kageyama

Shigeo, nicknamed Mob, has incredibly strong psychic abilities – reaching over 100%. When he feels strong emotions, these powers can cause immense destruction, but also protect him from harm. When pushed to his limit, Mob enters a mysterious state beyond 100% where his powers activate automatically, without him even realizing it.

The main worry is sudden, powerful increases in energy. If left unchecked, the destructive force would grow without limit. The artwork shows these surges as sharp spikes with swirling lines and collapsing buildings, illustrating how a prolonged event could endanger everything and everyone nearby.

Accelerator

Accelerator has the ability to control vectors – essentially, the direction and force of anything he comprehends. This allows him to do incredible things, like halt bullets mid-air, transform wind into powerful blasts, and even redirect attacks back to those who launched them. The more power he receives, the stronger his abilities become, allowing him to surpass the initial input.

He’s able to manipulate both blood flow and air currents over large areas, giving him an incredibly powerful control over his surroundings. The animation, done by J.C.Staff, visually demonstrates this with clear effects and physics-bending visuals, and the underlying principles suggest he could potentially cause widespread destruction if he wanted to.
