Top 10 Anime Fights Where the Hero Takes ZERO Damage

“How Not to Summon a Demon Lord” (2018)

Well, that’s one way to flaunt your status as the de facto demon on the block, and possibly earn a future harem member in the process. Despite her formidable skills and the hellish hordes at her back, Edelgard found herself woefully unprepared for Diablo and his Level 150 swag. Impervious to her strikes, the OG Demon Lord responded in kind with a single spell that not only sent Edelgard and her wardrobe packing, but also wiped out an entire bridge and a good chunk of her forces.

“The Seven Deadly Sins” (2014-)

Following on from his quick jaunt through purgatory, Meliodas manages to save his beloved Elizabeth at the last second, all before decimating the combined might of two of the Ten Commandments like they were nothing. Thanks to his new ruthless change in personality, it doesn’t take the Dragon Sin of Wrath long to beat the blessing out of Derieri, all before using his Full Counter to reflect Monspeet’s power back at them, turning the two demons to ash. Back to life for just over a minute and Meliodas is already sinning.

“Kill la Kill” (2013-14)

This boxer should thank his lucky stars he got to fight Ryuko when she was still embarrassed about wearing Senketsu, otherwise he might have ended losing more than just his clothes. In spite of the fact her talking uniform is a tad on the revealing side, the immense power of the Kamui was more than enough to stop Fukuroda’s punches from causing any damage whatsoever, paving the way for Ryuko to bust out the scissor blade and send him packing. Probably not quite the knockout he was hoping for.

“My Hero Academia” (2016-)

There’s no denying that this group of wannabe superheroes are talented, to the point where they’ve made the League of Villains each dirt on multiple occasions. However, as this smackdown proved, they certainly have a long way to go. Even with the combined talents of Deku, Todoroki, Iida and the rest, they’re all woefully unprepared for the unbridled POWER of this third-year student. Mirio may look a tad on the dorky side and somehow always end up naked, but that doesn’t take away from the fact he took down each member of Class 1-A with a single strike. They should have brought Bakugo along…

“That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” (2018-)

This summon may be feared across the land as the Conqueror of Flames, but that doesn’t amount to much when you’re fireproof. Kind of hilarious that after emerging from Shizu, embroiled in hellfire, looking like a nigh unstoppable devil, the horned firestarer can’t even singe one slime. Thanks to his Predator ability, Rimuru was easily able to put an end to the raging beast that had plagued his one true waifu, allowing him to end the scorching scuffle without ever having to worry about getting burnt. It certainly made digesting Ifrit all the easier.

“One Piece” (1999-)

We all know that the Vice-Captain of the Straw Hats can take way more punishment than the average mortal, so while we weren’t worried about him losing his life, many of us were still convinced he would at least get scratched when going up against a drugged-up octopus with a blade in each tentacle. Nope. After two years of training, Zoro’s skills had excelled so much that cutting apart the fishman’s weapons was almost second nature. Hyouzou really should have called it quits there instead of trying to launch a sneak attack with a bunch of half-broken, poison-covered swords. Would have saved him from getting turned into takoyaki.

“Mob Psycho 100” (2016-19)

We still can’t get over the fact that the one to bring this division of a psychic criminal organisation to its knees was Reigen. Reigen! The conman with an ironic talent for giving out great life advice. After being imbued with Mob’s esper abilities, Reigen manages to short work of Claw’s elite forces. Not only breaking apart their powers like they were nothing, but also breaking their spirits by giving them a harsh dose of reality. Not sure what’s more devastating – getting wrecked by a fake psychic or having your perspective shaken so much you give up being a bad guy.

“Overlord” (2015-18)

Look at this way Clementine, you might have ended up getting slowly crushed to death by a skeletal ruler with a grudge, but look at the bright side. You’re the only one who managed to make the Ruler of Nazarick use his own bony hands to kill someone as opposed to relying on magic. After butchering his human companions, the sadistic mercenary looked to put an end to the dark warrior named Momonga…only to discover there was more to him than meets the eye. Caught in his deathly embrace, even slamming her blades into his eye sockets proved fruitless as the life is literally squeezed out of her.

“Sword Art Online” (2012)

Even before he was glitching death, killing fairy kings and busting his way through final bosses, Kirito still had his own fair share of OP moments. While escorting a fellow player on a journey to revive a beast companion of hers, the two are ambushed by guildmembers looking for trouble. Unfortunately for Rosalia, she and her crew ended up targeting the one guy that can’t be taken down. Thanks to a handy health-regenerating item, Kirito was able to just stand back and let the rest of them hack away as they please, which only resulted in them looking like idiots as the desperately tried to take down an immortal pinata.

“One Punch Man” (2015-)

Leave it to Saitama to take the tried and true method of a tournament arc and turn on its head. Despite his immensely cocky attitude, Suiriyu proved himself to be a martial arts prodigy whose immense skills would excel in any other series. Alas, he’s forced to share a stage with the world’s strongest man, who not only takes no damage from a Suiryu’s full frontal assault, but manages to win the match just by shaking his hips around. Turns out that when the One Punch Man makes a mockery of martial arts, its still enough to send a master flying into a wall. Yikes.
