The Strongest Pure Humans in Anime After Saitama

After the remarkable character Saitama from , who is nearly unbeatable and possesses god-like strength, the search for the next in line for the title of strongest pure human in anime begins. Let's explore some contenders from various series that fit the criteria of being a 'pure human' with superhuman abilities, excluding characters with fictional capabilities or divine powers.

Exclusions and Criteria

Remaining within the limits of 'pure humans', we omit characters like Saiyans, espers, vampires, or any other metahumans, aliens, or any fictional race. Our focus remains on characters with strong, yet human, origins.

Contenders and Evaluations

Fate/Stay Night

Gilgamesh from Fate/Stay Night is a prime candidate. With otherworldly capabilities and absolute dominance in the show, he outshines even powerful Servants like Shirou. Shirou, though incredibly powerful, relies on his Master Rin. Gilgamesh's strength is consistent and absolute without any external support, making him the clear choice for the title of 'strongest pure human' in Fate/Stay Night.

Akira

Tetsuo Shima is an uncontrollable psychic powerhouse from Akira. His destructive potential rivals that of gods and could actually destroy the universe. Although the show's content is dark and graphic, Tetsuo's sheer power and potential make him a strong contender. His title is a reminder of the catastrophic consequences of uncontrolled powers.

Mob Psycho 100

Mob is another psychic with powers that exceed normal comprehension. Unlike Tetsuo, whose actions are often destructive, Mob uses his powers in a more neutral, albeit unconventional, manner. The final confrontation with the main antagonist showcases Mob's immense power in a visually stunning fashion, making him a significant contender for the strongest pure human title.

Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

Saiki from Disastrous Life of Saiki K., despite his intelligence and powers, does not fit the 'pure human' category as tightly. Still, his ability to manipulate and control reality, albeit on a psychological level, sets him apart from ordinary humans, making him a unique addition to the list.

One Punch Man

Tatsumaki from One Punch Man is a notable inclusion. Leveling cities with her powers, she is as formidable as other psychics like Tetsuo and Mob. However, credit to One Punch Man's storytelling, her powers are secondary to the humor and narrative focus, making her more of a supporting character in the context of this list.

One Piece

The WhiteBeard Yonko is a formidable character, boasting the most powerful devil fruit, the Gura-Gura no mi, which enables him to create tsunamis, earthquakes, and powerful air blasts. His leadership and powers make him a valuable addition to the list, showcasing the strength of pure humans in this very different context.

Conclusion

While many characters could be contenders, the consistent and standalone strength of Gilgamesh, Tetsuo, and to some extent, the WhiteBeard Yonko, sets them apart as the strongest pure humans in anime. Each has unique attributes that contribute to their title, making them memorable and significant within their respective series.
