Izuku Midoriya

Izuku from my hero academia was a quirkless child who was pure of heart just like our captain America who will jump on the grenade for others.

But because of his quirkless life he was seen as a useless person but seeing his pure heart all might the strongest hero decided to make him his successor as the new owner of one for all.

He is pure of heart but still, his body is not prepared to take all that power in so first he trained to make his body physically strong then now his real training to control his new ability one for all starts.

He is a kid therefore he looks weak but this quirk makes him as strong as the combined strength of all his predecessors who owned this ability.

Shigeo Kageyama

Shigeo Kageyama from mob psycho 100 is a psychic with immense strength.

The sin of pride Escannor is the strongest member of the holy knights’ seven deadly sins. Despite his frail appearance during the night, he becomes an overwhelmingly powerful individual during the day.

His strength is not permanent it keeps rising with the rising sun and is at its peak at noon but after that, it keeps decreasing making him turn into a frail-looking mal-nutrition man at the peak of the night.

This power is both a boon and a Bane but at nearly the end of the season, Escannor learned to use his power with the help of his sunshine Merlin even at night because for him his love was like the sun providing him power.

Rimuru Tempest

THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SLIME ANIME AI ART

Rimuru Tempest from that time I got reincarnated as a slime in actual is slime and if you have played any RPG games then you surely know that slimes are the very first monster and also the weakest monster you face in a game.

And from the actual outer appearance of Rimuru, he is the cutest gooey thing I have seen and no one can imagine that he can defeat even an ant and will be squashed by anyone but in actuality, he has the power of Tempest dragon who is a high demon lord level threat.

And by the end of the anime, Rimuru becomes a very formidable opponent who had founded his own kingdom which shows his power and by the end of the light novel if you like to read he had got the power to even change and create infinite number of realities.

Or in simple turns he becomes a god.

Saitama

saitama one punch man protagonist of one punch man

The parody anime character who works as the complete opposite of the dc hero Superman. He is a hero for fun, helping others is not a necessity for him and there is no fun in his life as he doesn’t feel challenged in front of any enemy.

His immense training ( laughing in my mind) has made him into a hero but in turn, made him lose his hair, his face doesn’t look like a hero’s when he is not serious and because of it on many occasions, many heroes have regarded him as a nobody in the anime.

But behind his unattractive face, there is a monster who can defeat many monsters with a single punch and he is not somebody to mess with.

Despite this, Bojji’s indomitable spirit and kind heart make him stand out as a character of great depth and inner strength.

Bojji’s physical limitations do not define him, as he possesses an innate talent for reading people and situations. His disability serves as a catalyst for his growth and development as he strives to prove his worth and prove that he can be a capable ruler.

Throughout the series, Bojji’s character evolves from a timid and vulnerable prince to a confident and inspiring leader who masters the way of the sword and with his agility becomes able to beat the strongest opponent.

Hinata

And even though he had the gomu-gomu no mi devil fruit ability he was not strong nor skilled at using it but he became strong with his training and after losing his brother Ace, gaining all the experience after the time skip.
