Top 10 Strongest Anime Idiots

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” (2019)
He’s an internet darling who’s more beast than man, has absolutely no sense when it comes to social norms, and would much rather stab you with his chipped blades than have a cup of tea. And oh how we love him for it. Tanjiro and Zenitsu’s friendship have certainly uncovered the tender heart beneath all that ferocity, but don’t be fooled, his feral nature and instinct are all he needs in order to overcome the majority of demons that come his way, never hesitating to leap into the fray and get to gouging. Might want to invest in getting a shirt though.

“Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?” (2019)
How a moron like this ended up with such OP player abilities we’ll never know. Able to reflect all spells, turn her subordinates into freaks and somehow always manage to survive everything Mamako and the rest throw her way, Amante is as stubborn as she is incapable of stopping herself from revealing her master plans. Seriously, she doesn’t need any kind of prompting, she just sings like a canary about what heinous deed she’s going to pull next. That’s likely her biggest weakness… that or constantly falling on her arse.

“Soul Eater” (2008)
When it really counts, this ninja knows how to come through and land the killing blow. With his beautiful weapon/partner Tsubaki by his side, there’s very little chance of a target managing to escape uncut, especially if he busts out the Enchanted Sword. The rest of the time? The dude is a walking disaster who wouldn’t know the meaning of stealth if it kicked him in the teeth. Don’t be shocked if you see him sabotage himself over and over, just because he can’t resist the urge to declare his arrival due to an ego that by this point has pretty much filled the place where his brain should be.

“JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable” (2016)
We’ve all got that one friend. Lovable, loyal, dumb as a rock, questionable life choices. Though chances are your friend doesn’t come equipped with a Stand that allows them to erase the space between them. That’s where Okuyasu comes in, and while he lacks the raw firepower found in his brother’s Stand, this steadfast comrade of Josuke is always “on hand” to lay a glorious beat down on anyone who steps up to him. If he was smart enough to use ‘the hand’ to its full potential, it could be one of the most powerful stands in the whole franchise…

“Yu Yu Hakusho” (1992-94)
He’s the punk rebel that might be lacking Yusuke’s rogue attraction, Hiei’s savagery and Kurama’s suaveness, but he certainly knows his way around a fight. A high school delinquent with a bizarre charm to him, all Kuwabara has ever known is how to punch the crap out of people and not much else. Thankfully that eventually landed him a sweet-ass spirit sword and a new career slicing up demons and protecting the weak. He’s still technically the idiot of the group, but he towers over most others when it comes to dishing out the pain!

“Sailor Moon” franchise (1992-2016)
Part princess, part superhero, fighting evil by moonlight, winning love by daylight – yada, yada. Unfortunately, in-between all those moments, the leader of the Sailor Senshi is obsessed with either stuffing her belly or getting herself an eyeful of cute boys. Despite being the leader and standing as the moral centre of the group, Usagi is easily led astray by her wants and desires, not to mention has something of a selfish streak that has gotten her and her team into trouble on more than one occasion. Thankfully she’s always on hand to sweep in at the last minute to unleash some Moon Prism Power.

“Kinnikuman” (1983-92)
Hard to believe that this guy is the king of an entire planet. Guess it’s a good thing that he can wrestle so well, because believe it or not, back in his youth Suguru was even more of a coward than his future son Kid Muscle, which is an accomplishment in of itself. He’s got eyes for food, ladies and everything that doesn’t involve getting his head crushed by the Akuma Choujin. At least until you get him into the ring and push him past his limits, because that’s when his fear switches into pure skill and he leaves some poor chap broken on the mat.

“Fairy Tail” (2009-)
He was raised by a dragon, burns evil mages on a frequent basis and once left a calling card by setting half of a castle on fire. There’s no denying that Fairy Tail’s resident salamander knows how to bring the thunder, er, flames. But you have to remember that for every feat of badassery, there’s also a million dumb decisions. Never one to think about a situation, happy to go in magic blazing, and easily prompted into a fight when some Dark Wizard decides to take a pot shot at his guild. He may somehow always find a way to win the day, but the path to get there tends to involve scorched earth tactics…

“One Piece” (1999-)
Adventure, comradery, living life on the high seas, becoming King of the Pirates, that’s all Luffy needs in life and not much else. Sure, he’s lacking the shrewdness of some of his fellow pirates as well as having little to no knowledge about how the world truly works, but does that stop him? Not in the slightest. Thanks to his magnetic personality, force of will and refusal to compromise who he is, Luffy has overcome both sea-scum and landlubber that are admittedly way smarter than him. Heck, even his crew think he’s a moron but would still go to hell and back for him in a heartbeat - As would we!

“Dragon Ball” franchise (1986-)
Let’s get one thing straight – in his own unique way, Goku is not stupid. If anything he’s a genius, when it comes to all things discipline, fighting, training, overcoming limits, achieving strength and power that tap into the potential of godhood, so on and so forth. It’s the other stuff that makes him kind of a dumb-dumb. But what do you expect for someone who landed on their head? While decades living among humans have modelled him into a kind-hearted person, conventional aspects of human culture such as marriage remain…something of an enigma to our dear Saiyan.
