Who’s the Strongest Anime Character of 2025 So Far?

The battle for the number one spot of the strongest anime character is one of the most thrilling debates in the world of anime, and 2025 has only made it more challenging to choose. With fresh seasons, game-changing fights, and characters rising to godlike levels of power, anime fans have been given some of the most breathtaking moments in recent memory. So, who holds the crown in 2025? Let's dive deeper into the strongest contenders that are dominating the anime world this year.

1. Saitama (One-Punch Man) – The Satirical Powerhouse

There is no way to talk about power without mentioning Saitama. With the power to knock out any enemy with a single punch, Saitama's power is still unmatched even in 2025. With One-Punch Man still running, the creators explore further what it is like to have unlimited power — not just physically, but emotionally as well. Saitama's powers are such that his fight is dull and has no suspense, but really the challenge to him is not winning but discovering purpose in a world where others are unable to equal him. He remains the benchmark of crazy strength.

2. Goku (Dragon Ball Super) – The Infinite Challenger

Goku is not going to be left behind. In the latest arc of Dragon Ball Super, he not only perfected Ultra Instinct but is now practicing Ultra Ego, merging his Saiyan heritage with godly power. His latest battles in the multiverse tournament against new gods and cosmic entities show how far he's come. Goku may not win every battle, but he gets stronger with every battle, and that ongoing development keeps him on par with the best of the best.

3. Yogiri Takatou (My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered)

My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered's Yogiri is one of the newer entries on this list, and he doesn't quite look so intimidating — until he decides to unleash his ability. With the ability to kill whatever he desires instantly through just thinking about it, Yogiri bypasses strength, defense, and even the constraints of time. In 2025, his anime adaptation left fans stunned with just how terrifying his ability is. He's not flashy, but his power is absolute — and possibly the most broken skill in all of anime.

4. Sung Jin-Woo (Solo Leveling)

Finally, after all those years of build-up, Solo Leveling delivered in its anime form, and Sung Jin-Woo did not disappoint. From being the weakest hunter to becoming the god of death, Jin-Woo now has an army of shadows under his command and has close-to-immortality, teleportation, and unimaginable power. His final fights in the anime are cinematic, heart-wrenching, and brutal straight up — cementing himself as one of the strongest of 2025.

5. Shinra Kusakabe (Fire Force)

Fire Force Season 3 elevated the series to the next level, especially with the explosive episode between Shinra and Captain Burns. Shinra's powers using Adolla energy and manipulation of time have turned into divine-level powers. His ability to alter causality as well as his speed and explosive power make him the most deadly protagonists of 2025. His growth is as emotional as it is strong.

6. Gojo Satoru (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Even after his fate shook the anime world in 2024, Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 gave us even more insight into Gojo's limitless cursed energy. Flashbacks and untapped methods demonstrate how close he is to being a sorcerer god. Despite being benched for much of the narrative, Gojo's legacy — and raw strength — still dominate the battlefield.

7. Eren Yeager (Attack on Titan Final Season – Conclusion)

Eren's final manifestation, "The Founding Titan," may have technically concluded in 2023, but his legacy lingers in 2025 anime fandom. The scale of his abilities — manipulating time, memory, and hundreds of titans — is still virtually unmatched. He's not just powerful; he's existentially frightening. Eren rewrote the text on what it means to be an anime force to be reckoned with.
