Who Is The Strongest Anime Character In 2021

Alright, anime fans, let's get real. The age-old debate rages on: who is the absolute strongest? Every year, new contenders enter the ring. We see power levels exploding like fireworks. But has 2021 given us a definitive winner?

The Usual Suspects

Of course, we have to mention the big guns. Goku. Always Goku. He's practically synonymous with anime power. But honestly, is he still really the top dog?

Then there's Saitama. The guy who can defeat anyone with one punch. Seems pretty unbeatable, right? But does that simplicity actually make him...boring?

And let's not forget the magic users! Think Rimuru Tempest. Slime, but don't underestimate him. His abilities are frankly absurd.

Why They Aren't My Pick

Here's the thing. I find these characters a little...predictable. Goku's always reaching a new form. Saitama's always bored. Rimuru's always absorbing. Where's the fun in that?

Besides, raw power isn't everything, is it? What about strategy? What about sheer, unadulterated willpower?

My Unpopular Opinion: It's...Kageyama Tobio?!

Okay, okay, hear me out! I know what you're thinking. Kageyama? The setter from Haikyuu!!? What is this madness!?

He doesn't shoot energy beams. He doesn't destroy planets. He doesn't even have superpowers. So, why am I arguing for him?

Because his strength isn't physical. It's his unwavering dedication. It's his relentless pursuit of perfection. It's his ability to inspire those around him.

The Power of Potential

Kageyama represents the power of potential. He's constantly striving to improve. He pushes his teammates to be their best. That's a kind of strength you can't measure with a scouter.

Think about it. He analyzes every game, every player, every weakness. He’s a tactical genius on the court. This is mental fortitude at its finest.

Sure, he's not going to beat Goku in a fistfight. But could he strategize a way for a team to defeat a seemingly unbeatable opponent? Absolutely.

Beyond Raw Power

Anime, at its heart, is about more than just explosions. It's about character. It's about growth. It's about the human (or anime equivalent) spirit.

Kageyama embodies that spirit. He overcomes his flaws. He learns to trust his teammates. He evolves as a player and as a person.

And isn't that the ultimate strength? The ability to adapt, to learn, and to inspire?

So, What Do You Think?

I know, I know. This is a controversial pick. You're probably sharpening your pitchforks right now. But just consider it.

Is the strongest character always the one who can punch the hardest? Or is it the one who can bring out the best in others? The one who never gives up?

Maybe, just maybe, in 2021, the strongest anime character wasn't blasting ki blasts. Maybe he was setting the perfect spike. Let me know your thoughts!
