Strongest anime characters?!?

I will start off by listing my top five...
1.)Alucard-Hellsing
2.)Ainz Ooal Gown-Overloard
3.)Isaac Netero-Hunter x Hunter
4.)Vados-DragonBall Super
5.)Gon-Hunter x Hunter

 

in what way are characters considered strongest? is that magical ability, physical capability, or mental capacity?

 

Like Issei, on their Harem power.

 

I don't know, Yukinari Sasaki, someone who has an entire planet of females (practically) to himself is pretty untouchable.

 

I guess like their ability to win a fight with any means necessary

 

With those words, you practically described every shounen. Ever.

 

Okay, well just debate. I'll start by saying Alucard would kick a lot of ass.

 

I don't know, probably Haruhi. To destroy the universe, all she needs to do is not be entertained.

When referring to Shounens, Saitama can destroy half the universe with a single punch.

Erm, Great Will of the Macrocosm.

 

Well so can Zeno, from dragon ball super. In fact, in dbs it's said that there use to be 18 universes but he destroyed 6 for some reason.

 

Never really got into DB, but that's a valid point.

 

Tsuna in Reborn defeated the guy who defeated (almost) all other universes.

 

Here's a thought, Kaneki in a one on one battle against Meruem.

I'm going with Kaneki on this one.

 

physical
saitama > all anime characters in existence and will ever exist.

magic
haruhi > all anime characters in existence and will ever exist.

brains
i have nothing but i think L would take the spot for now.

 

When it comes to physical ability you can't just automatically go with Satiama because you don't know if his punch is as strong in other universes. For example, in hxh there are tons of characters with tremendous strength and Got's JaJanken is pretty powerful. (Just ask Pitou)

 

"When referring to Shounens, Saitama can destroy half the universe with a single punch."

 

I'm sticking with my previous statement...you don't know how powerful he is in any other universe.

 

But out of respect, I can say he is probably top 5.

 

1.)Alucard-Hellsing
2.)Saya Kisaragi-Blood-C
3.)Yuno Gasai-Mirai Nikki (The Future Diary)
4.)Gintoki-Gintama
5.)Akame-Akame ga Kill!

 

i know i know. thing is, its kinda like a rule of thumb that saitama can defeat any opponent with just one punch. you cant measure his strength per se but if you are to make an equation, it would be something like below.

Q = oppenents physical strenth
S = |Q| ^ (n + 1)
where n is a positive integer.

meaning, whatever is the exact value of strength the oppenent, saitama's is exponentially greater.

 

His very character is based around his ability to kill anyone with a single punch.

Also, that equation made me laugh -- although, it solidifies the power gap to the point where.. eh.
