Top 10 Anime Characters Who Look Dumb But Are Overpowered
#10: Jaguar Man
“Fate/Grand Order - Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia” (2019-)
Well for one thing, this is a pseudo-servant summoned into the body of Fujimura Taiga, so the name is already a ruse, then you’ve got the fact this divine spirit’s attire is that of a cat onesie, and her weapon of choice is a staff with a giant paw on the end. Worry not, Lancer lovers, while you might thing this mockery of the class is nothing more than a cheap joke, the way she was able to decimate Mash and the rest with relative ease demonstrates just how deadly this kitty truly is. No matter how laughable that outfit looks, do your best to give her the respect she deserves as a god, or you’ll regret it…
#9: Rommel
“Gundam Build Divers” (2018)
He’s the commander of an entire unit inside of a virtual reality dedicated to Gunpla battles, he pilots the fearsome Grimoire Red Beret, and has got quite a few kills to his name during his time inside the gaming sphere. He’s also a ferret. We know Divers is made for a much younger audience, but now we have rodents piloting Mobile Suits and lashing out with beam sabers? While it would be in your best interest to not underestimate the tactics of this furry customer, we do have to wonder what Char would think if he saw this little critter on the battlefield.
#8: Ichiya Vandalay Kotobuki
“Fairy Tail” (2009-19)
And you thought Happy was the weirdest thing floating around this show. With his tiny body, massive head, use of perfume magic and womanising tendencies, you’d think Ichiya would be nothing short of a laughing stock and the furthest thing from a competent mage, at least until you see him huff some of his own supply, gain some muscles, and unleashes his true power. Sure, every female wizard still kicks him to the curb whenever he steps out of line, but he’s still the ace of the Blue Pegasus Guild!
#7: The Zodiac Twelve
“Hunter x Hunter” (2011-14)
They’re supposedly the strongest hunters of them all, the candidates best set to take over from Netero following his death. Aside from Ging, who looks like a dishevelled nomad, the rest…well…at first glance it’s easy to confuse their designs for Chimera Ants. You got one guy dressed as a cow, a literal bunny girl, Morticia from the Adams Family, bad afro meets couch potato dad, they’re about as weird and non-threatening as you can get. Of course, considering the stunts Togashi has pulled in the past, we’re certainly inclined to believe the masses when they’re hailed as the strongest around!
#6: Charlotte Perospero
“One Piece” (1999-)
Despite not having the badassery of Katakuri nor the knock me dead fanservice of Smoothie, the eldest son of Big Mom is not to be underestimated. While his nightmarish, Willy Wonka look might creep you out, it’s his Devil Fruit that you should be really worried about. After all, not many can create candy constructs of such size and detail that it can recreate entire buildings in the blink of an eye, or imprison groups as strong as the Vinsmokes with zero effort. Honestly, you don’t want to mess with anyone with a tongue like that!
#5: Watchdog Man
“One Punch Man” (2015-19)
There was no way someone like Garou was ever going to win against Saitama, because nobody wins against Saitama. However, given his martial arts prowess and insatiable bloodlust for hunting heroes, we figured he would be able to trounce someone dressed like a puppy with seemingly one expression. Oh, how wrong we were. Thanks to his immense speed and canine-like reflexes, Watchdog Man took quite the bite out of crime by kicking the shit out of Garou, teaching him a valuable lesson not to underestimate the ranks of the S-Class, even if they looked like they were on route to a furry convention.
#4: Filo
“The Rising of the Shield Hero” (2019)
In her human form, this little lady packs quite the wallop, but it’s when she transforms into a giant chicken that you should be deathly afraid. Despite a naive mentality and stocky exterior, Filo might just be the strongest member of the party. Her kicks can break skulls in an instant, can dash across battlefields as a mode of transport for her beloved master, or cut down any monster trying to take a bite out of her poultry plumpness with a razor reply. The fact she has a habit of wacking the Spear Hero in the nads should show you she’s already worthy of her station as the Filolial Queen.
#3: Fat Gum
“My Hero Academia” (2016-)
He’s a man of immense action, a hero with a heart as big as his waistline. Okay, so the idea of a larger than life hero might sound like a gimmick, but unlike various other attempts at chubby heroes in the past, this veteran fully embraces his roundness and uses it to stop crime – thanks to his body being able to deflects bullets and blades with ease. He literally defeats villains by stuffing them inside his fat rolls until they pass out from the suffocation! Plus when the going really gets tough he can burn away his fat and transform all of his accumulated energy to make quick work of his opponents!
#2: Bo-bobo
“Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo” (2003-05)
Defending the rights of hair users everywhere and taking the fourth wall along for the ride, Bobobo is about a ridiculous a parody as you can get, often winning each weird confrontation by unleashing the power of his nostril hair to lash through his bald foes, and that’s if he’s trying to stick to a straight up shounen brawl as opposed to pulling new powers out of his ass. As you can guess, with no shred of structure, he and his wild afro have won every single fight. Well, at least until the anime got cancelled…
#1: Zeno
“Dragon Ball Super” (2015-18)
Behold, the face of absolute power. Isn’t it adorable? While every part of Zeno’s appearance screams candy crush incarnate, the childish persona holds the ability to erase entire universes with absolute ease. And he has, on multiple occasions. While we may never be able to fathom how such a cosmic mind works, all we do know is that a temper tantrum from the Omni-King is the equivalent to an extinction event. Good thing he’s so bubbly most of the time, otherwise the multiverse would be in a lot of trouble.
