00:32Meruem – Hunter x Hunter
00:33Meruem's power seems ingrained in his very being.
00:43The king of Chimera Ants, Meruem exudes a powerful aura, with his strength terrifying
00:49most beings he encounters.
00:52Gifted with boundless strength, speed and a nearly unparalleled intellect, Meruem is
00:57basically unmatched in physical combat or other contests, with some exceptions.
01:04While he begins his life as a monster, Meruem's true kingliness reveals itself through his
01:09love for Kamugi, a blind human girl.
01:12His life may be short, but Meruem lived up to his name, which means, the light that illuminates
01:199.
01:24Gilgamesh – Fate Franchise
01:26He may technically be a servant, but Gilgamesh rules over all he surveys.
01:42Blessed with arrogance in proportion to his strength, this legendary king of heroes never
01:48hesitates to denigrate everyone he sees as beneath him, which is basically everyone,
01:54and we can't blame him.
02:05Gilgamesh possesses nearly everything the world has to offer in his storehouses.
02:09That includes other heroes' noble phantasms, giving him an overwhelming advantage in battle.
02:16Gilgamesh's impressive presence commands attention practically every time he's on
02:20screen.
02:21What else would you expect from the hero of the original epic?
02:298.
02:37Escanor – The Seven Deadly Sins
02:49Many characters are proud of their power, but Escanor practically is pride.
02:54The lion-sin of pride contends that he stands above all others, and it's hard to argue
02:59otherwise.
03:00Although meek and timid at night, when the sun's out, Escanor's muscles, power, and
03:05swagger come out as well.
03:14Through his sunshine magic, Escanor can launch devastatingly hot attacks that burn as hot
03:20as a star.
03:21He may not technically be the protagonist of the Seven Deadly Sins, but Escanor is never
03:26one to accept the destiny others decide for him, and brings main character energy to his
03:32every action.
03:34Like the sun itself, his world revolves around him.
03:407.
03:42Jiren – Dragon Ball Super
03:53He may look like a roided-out grey alien, but Jiren has an undeniable presence throughout
03:58the Tournament of Power.
04:00Hell, he spends a good portion of it just standing there ominously with his arms crossed,
04:05and everyone is still hyping him up.
04:07But once he enters the fray, the most prideful of pride troopers proves an insurmountable
04:13wall to the other competitors.
04:16His power eclipses the strength of some gods of destruction, and he wrecks seasoned fighters
04:21left and right.
04:22You know Jiren's strong when Goku obtaining a new form and teaming up with Freeza only
04:28barely defeats him.
04:306.
04:39Aizen Sosuke – Bleach
04:46Don't judge a book by its cover.
04:49While Aizen may look like a bookish shinigami captain at first, he soon reveals himself
04:54to be a mastermind villain of the highest order.
04:58His ability to perfectly hypnotize anyone who sees his sword's release has everyone
05:03dancing in the palm of his hand.
05:05But even without that overpowered ability, he practically stars over every one of his
05:10opponents, turning his nominal form appears into absolute jokes.
05:17Plus, once he drops the act, Aizen's natural charisma shines through even more.
05:26The glasses were holding him back.
05:375.
05:41Kibutsuji Muzan – Demon Slayer Kimetsu no Yaiba
05:51Time and experience can bring many things, and after living for a millennium, this progenitor
05:56of demons has acquired both unparalleled strength and drip without equal.
06:01Muzan can survive enormous explosions, losing his head, and just about everything else thrown
06:07at him.
06:08Not only that, the OG demon makes his subordinates – and most of the demon slayers out to kill
06:13him – look downright weak by comparison.
06:24And while he may owe plenty of inspiration for his fit from Michael Jackson, he still
06:29has plenty of aura all of his own.
06:31Muzan may not have conquered the sun yet, but he can overcome just about everything
06:37else – and do it in style, too.
06:464.
06:47Uchiha Madara – Naruto Shippuden
07:00The legend of this Uchiha clan leader is built up for most of this anime.
07:05Someone else impersonating him is enough to start a war, and when he finally is resurrected,
07:11he lives up to his reputation.
07:13Madara spends most of his screen time flexing on armies, ninja village leaders – both
07:19living and dead – and the protagonists alike.
07:22He's the best of the best, and he knows it.
07:34Madara's power is such that some question whether he's a god.
07:39We won't go as far as to worship him, but we have to pay our respects to a ninja with
07:44an aura this impressive.
07:513.
07:55Hanma Yujirou – Baki Franchise
08:08He may lack special powers, but Baki's dad is anything but human.
08:13Yujirou is often regarded as the strongest creature on Earth, and just encountering him
08:19is enough to impress that fact upon everyone he meets.
08:23Godfighters are fodder for him.
08:25When the Earth quakes, he tells it to settle down.
08:28The United States even surrendered to him.
08:40Yujirou is utterly extra in everything he does, whether it be swimming, making an entrance,
08:47or parenting.
08:48The ogre may not be winning Father of the Year, but when he's this powerful, we don't
08:53think anyone would deny him if he wanted the award.
09:002.
09:02Shanks – One Piece
09:09There are many powerful characters with charisma in this long-running pirate story, yet few
09:14of them have the same mystique as Shanks.
09:18The mentor of protagonist Monkey D. Luffy, Shanks may make only sporadic appearances
09:23throughout most of One Piece, but he always brings the hype.
09:27His aura, or rather, haki, is strong enough to knock out veteran pirate crews and make
09:33marine admirals reconsider their life choices, even from miles away.
09:38Shanks and his crew rolled up to one of the biggest wars seen yet in the series and told
09:43everyone to stop, and they all listened.
09:50The few times the red-haired emperor has taken a swing at someone have proven why nobody
09:56wants his smoke.
10:191.
10:20Gojo – Jujutsu Kaisen
10:32The world's strongest sorcerer, Gojo is him.
10:35The Jujutsu teacher is the benchmark by which everything in the series is measured.
10:41He is the metagame.
10:45His domain expansion leaves his foes overwhelmed with awe.
10:49Gojo's cursed techniques turn even the most threatening enemies into pancakes.
10:54He's both figuratively and literally almost untouchable.
10:58Plus, Gojo's got Riz almost literally coming out of his unfathomably gorgeous eyes, and
11:05he's hysterical to boot.
11:11Given how impressive his aura is, it's a wonder anyone else in JJK gets any time to
11:16shine at all.
11:18Throughout heaven and earth, he alone is the honoured one.
11:25Is there an anime character whose mystique we missed?
