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.

Do you need to watch 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later before 28 Years Later? Here's what you should know
With 28 Years Later officially on the way and director Danny Boyle returning to the franchise that helped redefine modern horror, anticipation is running high. But with two decades separating this new chapter from the original film, one question has everyone intrigued: Do you really need to watch the previous movies to get into 28 Years Later? Let's unpack what we know and why watching the earlier films might give you more than just context—it might give you chills in all the right places. 28 Years Later: Is it connected to the first two? If you're the type who likes to dive into a movie fresh, you'll probably be fine. Boyle and screenwriter Alex Garland have a reputation for storytelling that's self-contained, so 28 Years Later is likely to stand on its own. That said, if you want to understand the emotional weight of the franchise, the evolution of the virus, and the deep sense of loss that defines this universe, the first two films are worth your time. 28 Days Later introduced more than just a virus Released in 2002, 28 Days Later is where it all began. This was the film that gave us the rage virus—not quite zombies, but infected humans driven by uncontrollable aggression. It also gave us Cillian Murphy's breakout performance as Jim, a man who wakes up from a coma to find London completely abandoned. 28 Days Later. Credit: IMDb But this wasn't just a post-apocalyptic survival story. It was raw, emotional, and eerily quiet, shot in a way that made everything feel uncomfortably real. You got glimpses of the virus's origin, the speed of its spread, and how fragile civilisation truly is. Even now, it holds up as a masterclass in minimalist horror. Watching this one gives you a strong foundation in what kind of nightmare world 28 Years Later is building on. What 28 Weeks Later added to the series Five years later came 28 Weeks Later, a sequel that explored the aftermath of the initial outbreak. Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, this installment zoomed out to show how military forces tried to reintroduce civilians into a quarantined zone. Predictably, the virus wasn't finished yet, and what follows is a harrowing collapse of a false sense of safety. 28 Weeks Later. Credit: IMDb While it's more action-heavy than Days, the sequel still captures the same emotional bleakness. It introduces ideas about how the virus might return, mutate, or survive in hosts that don't show symptoms. It also raises moral questions about sacrifice, trust, and institutional failure—ideas that could easily carry into 28 Years Later. What we know about 28 Years Later Very little plot information has been officially confirmed, but we do know 28 Years Later will be the first in a new trilogy. Cillian Murphy is back, this time as an executive producer, though there are strong rumours that he might appear on screen. The involvement of both Boyle and Garland is a major signal that this won't be just a nostalgia-fuelled reboot but a return to the gritty, thoughtful horror of the original. Whether the story continues any specific character arcs or not, the time jump of nearly three decades suggests we'll see either the long-term aftermath of societal collapse or the dangers of trying to rebuild. 28 Years Later is set to release in theatres on June 20, 2025 , and brings a fresh but familiar cast into the apocalyptic world. Jodie Comer stars as Isla, a mother navigating the chaos, alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Jamie, her partner. Ralph Fiennes joins the cast as Dr. Ian Kelson, a mysterious figure tied to the infected, while Jack O'Connell plays a cult-like leader named Sir Jimmy Crystal. Young newcomer Alfie Williams plays Spike, a 12-year-old centre character of the story. You can totally skip the first two films! While watching the first two films will give you a deeper feel for the 28 world, you don't have to binge them to keep up with the new one. But if you do, every scream in an empty street, every split-second decision, and every flicker of hope will hit a little harder.
