10 anime characters stronger than Dragon Ball Super's Zeno without breaking a sweat
Anime is full of overpowered characters, but none are hyped quite like Zeno from Dragon Ball Super—a cute-looking guy with the horrifying power to erase universes with a snap. While he's the strongest in the Dragon Ball universe, that does not necessarily mean he's the strongest in all of anime. Throughout different shows and genres, there are characters with abilities so ridiculous they make Zeno seem constrained. From magical girls who can rewrite reality to god-like entities who manipulate time and space with ease, these characters set a new precedent for what it means to be "all-powerful." Whether it is brute strength, cosmic manipulation, or full-on omnipotence, here are 10 anime characters that defeat Dragon Ball Super's Zeno and would easily defeat him without breaking a sweat. Anime characters who could defeat Dragon Ball Super's Zeno Character Anime Power and Comparison to Zeno Simon the Digger Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Commands galaxy-sized mechs; strength grows unlimited through willpower. Rimuru Tempest That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime God-like reality remaker; grows stronger by absorbing powers. Medaka Kurokami Medaka Box Erases concepts, masters talents instantly; more versatile than Zeno. Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Reality-bending gag character; invincible by breaking all rules. Homura Akemi Puella Magi Madoka Magica Universe remodeler with emotional and tactical power surpassing Zeno. Lain Iwakura Serial Experiments Lain Controls information and reality; existentially powerful beyond Zeno. Super Majin Rymus Dragon Ball DAIMA (Fan Series) Created Dragon Ball multiverse; far stronger than Zeno. Haruhi Suzumiya The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Unaware god with chaotic reality control; harder to predict than Zeno. Arceus Pokémon Creator and balancer of Pokémon universe; beyond Zeno's destroyer role. Sailor Moon Sailor Moon (Cosmos Arc) Universe healer and restorer; holds greater moral power than Zeno. Powerful anime characters than Dragon Ball Super's Zeno Simon the Digger | Anime: Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Source: IMDb Simon's strength is not based on divine origin, but on the unbreakable power of human will, which is augmented by Spiral Energy. He commands Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, a mech that is so large it eclipses galaxies and utilizes them as projectiles. Afterwards, he even breaks that shape to command Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, which belongs on a meta-multiversal scale. Whereas Zeno is able to annihilate, Simon inspires hope and energy simply by belief alone, so his ability is basically unlimited. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Memperdagangkan CFD Emas dengan salah satu spread terendah? IC Markets Mendaftar Undo His continually growing strength is such that he might actually surpass Zeno's destructive limit. Rimuru Tempest | Anime: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Source: Pinterest Rimuru's ultimate form, as shown in the light novels, is god-like and able to remake the very fabric of reality. With Ultimate Skills such as "Azathoth," Rimuru is able to erase ideas, remake reality, and even foretell all possible futures. Unlike Zeno, whose absolute power is fixed, Rimuru is a dynamically changing god, becoming stronger with each foe or concept he absorbs. Medaka Kurokami | Anime: Medaka Box Source: IMDb Medaka is more than a superhuman—she can remove any idea, such as death, time, and reason. Her super ability to acquire any talent and master it instantly puts her in command of all powers conceivable, including powers that transcend physical reality. Her logical mind and control over abstract entities make her significantly more adaptable than Zeno, who uses his erasure power exclusively. Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo | Anime: Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Source: Instagram Bobobo is not subject to the logic of his universe—or any universe. Being a gag anime protagonist, he is governed by the toon force logic, where illogicalness is power. He has the ability to break the fourth wall, cheat death, and change results by sheer arbitrariness. This power based on absurdity might be too much even for Zeno, who exists within a narrative framework. Bobobo's reality bending at a meta level renders him invincible. Homura Akemi | Anime: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Source: Pinterest Homura begins as a magical girl, but by the series' conclusion and its sequel film (Rebellion), she steals Madoka's godhood and remolds the universe to her will. She doesn't manipulate time so much as rebuild existence according to her own emotional schema. Her tactical intellect and tiered reality manipulation could displace Zeno's brute power with tiered causality manipulation. Lain Iwakura | Anime: Serial Experiments Lain Source: IMDb Lain becomes one with "The Wired," a virtual plane that exists on top of reality. She controls information, redraws history, wipes out people from existence, and remains even after she undoes her own reality. Zeno's power is cosmic, but Lain's power is existential. She is consciousness blended with divinity, providing a deeper layer of omnipotence. Super Majin Rymus | Anime: Dragon Ball DAIMA (Fan Series) Source: Instagram Although non-canonical, Rymus is an incredibly strong fan-made character thought to exist before the whole Dragon Ball multiverse. Although Zeno is able to erase, Rymus generates whole realities, including the existence that Zeno lives in. He represents the source code of the Dragon Ball universe, which could put him well beyond the Omni-King. Haruhi Suzumiya | Anime: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Haruhi does not know her abilities, yet her feelings dictate all things to her. She can produce time loops, alternate universes, or recreate the universe completely—all unconsciously. Her lack of control ironically makes her more formidable than Zeno. Whereas Zeno decides to annihilate, Haruhi remodels reality by accident, which is even more difficult to anticipate or resist. Arceus | Anime: Pokémon: Arceus and the Jewel of Life Arceus is the originator of the Pokémon universe, creating time, space, and antimatter via Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. The anime makes Arceus merely an avatar of a being from a higher dimension. Although Zeno is a destroyer, Arceus is a balancer and originator with powers spanning across timelines and realities, perhaps even outside Dragon Ball's multiverse. Sailor Moon | Anime: Sailor Moon (Cosmos Arc) Source: IMDb In her ultimate incarnations, Sailor Moon evolves into a goddess capable of bringing people back to life, cleansing and rejuvenating entire universes. She is powered by empathy, which bestows upon her emotional strength that even Zeno does not possess. She does not destroy evil; she saves and restores, a divine quality that places her in an even greater moral and metaphysical position than Zeno.

Japanese pro baseball team's Father's Day message misses strike zone, triggers traumatic memories
Tokyo team asked for memories about dads and baseball, found out they're not all good ones. Japan celebrates Father's Day on the same day as the U.S., U.K., and Canada, so last Sunday the Yomiuri Giants, Tokyo's professional baseball team in the Central League, wanted to give a shout-out to baseball-loving dads. The club's official Twitter account sent out a tweet saying 'Today is Father's Day. Do you have any memories about your father and the Giants?' The account even got the ball rolling with an illustrated example, showing a middle-aged man sitting on his sofa with a bowl of potato chips on the table and a Giants game on TV, a smile and his face and his fists pumped, with the caption: 'The Giants determine what kind of mood my dad is in.' 今日は、父の日。あなたのお父さんと ジャイアンツの思い出はありますか。#父とジャイアンツ — 読売巨人軍（ジャイアンツ） (@TokyoGiants) June 14, 2025 The intent, no doubt, was to bring up heartwarming memories of Pop having an extra spring in his step after a big Giants victory, or maybe even to accentuate a cute, still-a-kid-at-heart aspect of his personality as he was a little blue when his favorite team came up short in a close game. Unfortunately, though, by inviting anyone and everyone whose dad's emotional state is affected by the Giants' on-field performance into the conversation, the tweet brought up a lot more than heartwarming family memories, and instead caused some much less pleasant, more traumatic flashbacks for many commenters, whose replies included: 'All of my memories about my dad and the Giants are terrible ones.' 'So if the Giants didn't exist, that dad would have had fewer reasons to get into a bad mood.' 'That tweet describes my dad perfectly. If they lost, he'd find some tiny excuse to kick me…That's why I lost all interest in baseball.' 'It was the worst if they were playing a night game, my dad would monopolize the TV. Then he'd fall asleep in the middle of the game, and when I'd change the channel, he'd suddenly wake up and go berserk, yelling 'I was watching that.' I hate baseball.' 'Instead of a dad who just loves baseball, he was a bullying dad who'd change how he treated his family based on how a single baseball game turned out.' 'My dad is a Tigers [the Giants' rival] fan, and if they lose to the Giants he gets pissed off about all sorts of things he normally wouldn't get worked up over.' 'Episodes of Dragon Ball would get preempted if the Giants game ran late, and dads would yell if they lost, so I think there are a lot of kids who think of the Giants as their sworn enemies.' 'Getting so into the game that you can't control your emotions – that's baseball!' 'It almost seems like the person who created this tweet actually hates the Giants.' It wasn't all bad memories, as one commenter chimed in to say that neither they or their father are the type to get angry over sports, and so they're a family of 'calm but passionate Giants fans.' Perhaps the most significant reaction came from someone saying the tweet felt like something from the Showa period, which lasted from 1926 to 1989, but feels out of place in the current Reiwa period, which started in 2019. Japanese societal expectations about the role of fathers has shifted quite a bit in the last 100 years, and while most dads in Japan still feel a strong pressure to provide for their children economically, there's also an increased sense that they need to be good role models for interpersonal and communication skills, too, which would include having the maturity to not get bent out of shape because their favorite baseball team lost, and to not let such frustrations negatively impact how they treat the other members of their family. In the Giants' defense, the intent of the tweet pretty clearly wasn't to give dads a pass for having a short fuse if the team loses, and the goal was no doubt to humanize dads by showing that they're fun-loving, passionate people too. In order to get that message across, a more accentuate-the-positive choice of words probably would have worked better, something like 'My dad's smile gets even bigger when the Giants win,' so hopefully they'll come up with some better phrasing by the time next Father's Day rolls around.

'I secretly named my kids after my favourite TV show characters - people say they'll be bullied'
A dad has been slammed for naming his children after his favourite TV show characters, with people saying the youngest will 'have a hard time in school'. A dad has been criticised for infusing his obsession with his favourite TV show into his children's names. He admitted on Reddit that he's been 'secretly' naming his offspring after aspects of his beloved series without arousing much suspicion - and ramped it up when it came to his fourth child. He shared on the platform: "My firstborn son was named after the greatest man I ever knew, my grandfather on my mum's side. My dad was super annoyed. I was supposed to name him the same as my first name because it was a tradition. My dad never really had an impact on my life." Then, drawing from his fondness for the hit TV show Supernatural, he named his daughter Samantha in homage to the character Sam Winchester, reports the Mirror. He said: "Her name is Samantha but everyone calls her Sammy... I love it. Supernatural had a major impact on my life. "I started watching it back in 2006 when I was confined to bed rest for two years almost due to an accident. It was an outlet for me to escape and Sam just resonated with me. "Sam is definitely my favourite character with Dean being a close second as my other favourite character of all time. "I laughed, I cried, laughs more, mourned, amped up, and so many other emotions. This show was a powerhouse." The father explained that his wife chose the name for their third son, but he enthusiastically suggested a name for their fourth. He remarked: "For my fourth son, I got to name him something epic and slide it completely under the radar. I got to name him Broly [a character from the Dragon Ball franchise]." But not all reactions were positive towards his youngest son's unique name, with one commenter pointing out: "Poor kid will likely end up being unceremoniously bullied for it bless him." Another chimed in with warnings about potential schoolyard teasing: "I hope your son's peers don't watch or know Dragon Ball cause if they did, I can see them picking on him by calling him Broccoli or giving him broccoli every time they see him." The commentary continued with another user remarking: "Typically not a good idea to name your kids after Saiyan's given that their names are based on vegetables." Criticisms didn't stop there, as a third individual posted: "Broly? Ouch. That kids gonna have a hard time in school." Questions arose about naming rights within the couple, as another person asked: "Why did your wife only get to name one kid and you got to name three?" This led to further discussion, with someone adding: "Especially since she is the one birthing them and giving her body for the children." Uniting in opinion, yet another user concluded: "I mean, both parents should have a say but if one gets priority it definitely should be the mother as they are one who has to be pregnant and give birth and all that fun stuff."
