They can your best friend or they can be your greatest rival. Join http://www.WatchMojo.com as we count down our picks for the Top 10 Siblings in Anime. For this list we are counting down brothers and sisters in anime who have a strong connection with each other whether it be through their family bond, the antics they get into or their heated rivalries. Also these siblings must be related, meaning that characters like Mikasa and Eren from “Attack on Titan” may be considered family, but they aren’t technically related so they do not qualify. Officially adopted siblings are fair game however. Also, like many anime related lists, be weary of spoilers.

Even though Luffy found himself caught up in turmoil resulting from Ace’s true lineage, their love still carries Luffy on his adventure to find the One Piece
