Top 20 One-Sided Anime Ass Kickings

“One Piece” (1999-)

You’d think her size would make her an easy target, especially for a suave sword-user like Brook. Alas, this Yonkou is every bit as powerful as rumours would have you believe, evident from when she brought out her sentient sun and thundercloud to fry the poor skeleton. Shouldn’t feel too bad for yourself there Brook, we all knew you were boned from the start but at least you didn’t actually get Mama mad. Then you might have ended up getting grounded into bone powder.

“Mob Psycho 100 II” (2019)

Not to throw any shade our boy, but he got trounced here. Which is rather surprising, since he’s a esper of such high calibur that he can copy and incorporate the techniques of other psychics into his arsenal just like that. Unfortunately for him, he picked a fight with Claw’s strongest soldier. Despite his lack of vision, Shimazaki’s mastery of teleportation and seemingly indestructible skin made it easy for him to slide past Teru’s defences and take him out with a single strike. Don’t worry man, at least you kept your hair this time.

“A Certain Magical Index” (2008-)

Even if he was crippled and in the midst of an internal conflict about what kind of person he truly wanted to be, you’d have to be pretty stupid to think that Accelerator wouldn’t still make for a deadly opponent. Obviously Awaki didn’t get the memo, since she decided to lash out at the Level Five Esper, armed with nothing but her ability to teleport. As expected, this doesn’t get her very far. Even on crutches, Accelerator manages to make quick work of her with his psychic powers. She’s lucky he was in the middle of his transition to good guy, otherwise she would have likely been left as a stain on the road.

“Hunter x Hunter” (2011-14)

While nowadays we all know Gon as an absolute powerhouse strong enough to even take on the likes of a Chimera Ant elite such as Pitou, it didn’t always used to be like that. During the finale of the Hunter Exams, Gon faces off against master ninja Hanzo, whose attacks manage to leave Gon broken and bloodied. However, it only got to this stage because Gon refused to surrender. His determination eventually won out, but it was only due to him willing to take one hell of a beating.

“Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor” (2017)

We knew as soon as this scumbag mage put his hands on Sistine, he was going to get the schooling of his lifetime. Most likely in the form of a beatdown courtesy of the most unorthodox magical teacher of all time. Despite their somewhat temperamental relationship, Glenn doesn’t hesitate to protect his precious White Cat when Ganis tries to have his wicked way with her. Goes to show that not all problems can be solved with spells, sometimes good old fashioned fighting will do the trick.

“Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood” (2009-10)

With his sadistic sense of humour, shapeshifting abilities and monstrous final form, this Homonculus had gotten rather used to killing and manipulating his way through life. That is until he made the fatal mistake of revealing that he was the one who killed Maes Hughes. Understandably enraged by this, Mustang proceeds to incinerate Envy piece by piece, taking great lengths to make the process as agonising as possible, until he’s reduced to his true, ugly self. This wasn’t so much a battle as it was a flame-filled massacre.

“My Hero Academia” (2016-)

Ever wanted to know the difference in strength between the first and third years at U.A High? Well, here you are! Despite taking on the League of Villains, the Hero Killer and other superhero schools, Deku and the rest find themselves totally outgunned when faced against this superstar student. Despite his light-heartedness, Mirio proves to be a force of nature, fully utilizing his Quirk to the point where not even the combined might of the whole class can slow him down. What else is there to say? No one can hope to match this guy when it comes to POWER!

#3: Ichigo vs. Aizen

“Bleach” (2004-12)

Goes to show what you can accomplish if you grow your hair out a little. After successfully learning the art of the Final Getsuga Tensho, the Substitute Shinigami renters the battle against the all-powerful Aizen…and proceeds to toss him around like he was Chad. Even with all his strength, his kido and even a last-second transformation, Aizen can’t hold a candle to Ichigo, who simply deflects everything he throws at him with ease. As if that wasn’t humiliating enough, Ichigo ends things with a single “do or die” strike that manages to reduce the once feared Shinigami into nothing more than some dude with a mullet!

“Nisemonogatari” (2012)

Given his love for getting into all kinds of smutty situations, including with his sisters, we can’t exactly say that Araragi didn’t deserve to get his vampiric backside kicked in. Though, maybe to not this extent. After Karen inexplicably gains incredible combat prowess, a sibling dispute between the two soon turns violent, with Karen managing to kick the ever-loving crap out of her brother, to the point where she’s sending him flying through bridges and bus stops. Good thing he’s got that whole recovery thing going for him.

“Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods” (2013)

Remember the days before Super Saiyan Blue? Before Goku could hold his own against the strongest foes in the multiverse? It was a simpler time, one that couldn’t have prepared us to see Goku lose to Beerus in such a heavy-handed manner. In spite of going all out with Super Saiyan 3, Goku can’t even land a hit on the God of Destruction, who in response casually buries him like it was just another day at the office. Deep down we all knew Goku would find a way to get stronger, but this was still quite a shocking sight to behold.
