Such a huge YuYu Hakusho fan so I’m glad to see Yusuke Urameshi make the list. To see his journey from just brute strength to the spirit gun to becoming a Mazoku was something to watch and his fights in the dark tournament were epic especially Toguro then his last fight with Sensui was top notch!
Major Motoko Kusanagi (Ghost in the Shell) Jiren (Dragon Ball Super) Isaac Netero (Hunter x Hunter) Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan) Vash the Stampede (Trigun)
@@juniourdaquan Yeah, no offense, but I'm just NOT a fan of Guts and *Berserk.* It's just not my Cup of Tea. Sorry dude. Really. No need to be disrespectful. I'm sorry
I sometimes forget that the nickname originated from Black Lagoon 😅 Since I was a big fan of the show in my teens, I took to calling my wife "Revy" because her name is Rebekah, and yeah, it stuck like crazy, so now it's a daily thing I say hahaha.
Revy, Vash, Spike Spiegel and Alucard are my personal favorite anime protagonists because of how awesome the gunfights they participate in are. Nothing like a badass gunfight to start the day.
Jonathan Mar from Jormungand is definitely a badass. A former child soldier turned mercenary with a stoic personality. Now that’s hardcore right there.
What!?!! Absolutely no mention from Seto Kaiba from Yugioh, Levi from Attack on Titan, Genos from One Punch man, Kakashi from Naruto, or Vegeta, the prince of all Saiyans from DBZ!?!?
Not a bad list, but could’ve used at least one more female protagonist besides Revy. My choice would be Major Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
Heavily centred around classic anime, this list. Don't get me wrong, all these series are incredible. But if we're talking specifically about "badass" protags, some of the recent titles have given us a few MCs that are far more "badass" than some of the MCs of these classic anime. Just talking about badass MCs in isolation, without taking how good the series is in consideration.
Dark Schneider is one of the coolest and most badass anime protagonist IV been seen. You know how refreshing it is to have a harem protagonist that actually wants to and does hit it.
Perhaps you'd already know, but Chad Stahelski was inspired by Cowboy Bebop when creating John Wick. Chad is also currently doing fight choreography for a new anime called "Lazarus," that happens to be from Cowboy Bebop's creator.
My favourite badass anime protagonist is Mikazuki Augus from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. He may seem cold & emotionless on the outside but on the inside he cares for his allies & friends & family. Just don’t be an enemy of him, tekkadan or any others of his allies or else he’ll beat you to a brutal pulp with his Gundam Barbatos, Gundam Barbatos Lupus or Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex! I also like Orga Itsuka from the same series & Mikazuki & the rest of Tekkadan wouldn’t be who they are without Orga being with them throughout their time together both on & off the battlefield. I really miss everyone in the Tekkadan organization. They didn’t deserve the tragic end of their organization or the deaths of their members that died in the series. Rest in peace Tekkadan. 😭
You got so many of my faves on the list!!! But, my top 3 had to be........ Guts, Revy, and........ (I know I'll catch heat here....) Gene Starwind!! o7 😎✊🏿🔥 PS: I'd add Kyo From Samurai Deeper Kyo and Claire from Claymore!!
Tanjiro, Light and eren deserves to be in list. REASON: 1)Tanjiro is so badass at only 15-16 years age who can go up against muzan without fearing him.😈 2)Which other MC have that much guts to destroy 80% humanity like Eren??💔 3)because he is kira💪
Idk, man wouldn't call them badasses, only one with a slight claim is Tanjiro as he can actually fight, but he doesn't give off badass energy if you get what I mean. Eren is just an average fighter and only reason he has such a massive kill count is because he basically just pressed the big red extinction button... Light is literally just about manipulation and brains, he could hardly beat a 6th grader in an actual fight and in the end he even got outsmarted by a child so...
When it comes to this list of badass characters these are definitely the characters that you want fighting alongside rather than against. Especially with characters like Kenshiro & Guts
Naruto,Goku,Luffy,Tatsumi(Akame Ga Kill),Ichigo Kurosaki(Bleach),Meliodas(Seven Deadly Sins),Alucard(Hellsing Ultimate),Thorfinn(Vinland Saga),Issei Hyoudou(High School DXD),Inuyasha,Revy(Black Lagoon) and Devilman(Akira Fudo)!
Agreed, this list is invalid without those. Take away the mobile suits and how badass are they without them compared to even goblin slayer at 20? Goku could destroy most of them.
Glad to see Guts at number one. How do you even compare some of the epic one liners during the series. Guts: My sword has gotten very dull. However, it's three times as thick and does three times the damage of a normal sword. You'd better pray you die quickly, or this could be painful. Guts: Huh? What’s that you say? So there are still 50 of you left standing? At this rate, it’ll be dawn before I can crack open all of your skulls. "Grins menacingly." I mean damn, thats in one battle and not only does he say it he proceeds to do it. 🤘
Bruh i have no enemies A cringe 3 year old statement Only delusional kids who want to run away from reality without accepting that without violence u cannot accept peace will use that 3 year old U love talk no jutsu mc
I feel like you could swap these ones into the list also there's Randal oland from pumpkin scissors who is a walking tank destroyer, kyo from samurai deeper kyo, jiro from black blood brothers, hie from darker than black, Kenshin himura from rurouni Kenshin And Trevor Belmont from Castlevania could all work and sorry for any misspelling
Dark Schneider, Revy, Kenshiro, and Alucard are here nice Dark Schneider is badass and underrated waiting for Bastard!! seasons 2. Same with revy needs a season 4 of Black Lagoon, her and Dark Schneider 2 of them didn't end their series yet unlike Alucard and Kenshiro are already finished.
I am shocked that Gene Starwind made this list Outlaw Star do not get much love, but there is so many more that could of been added on this list such as Hajmi from Arifureta, Naruto who kicked Ichigo's butt in a deathbattle, Maou from The Devil is a Part timmer just to name a few.
Forgot one thing about Guts that wasn't said. But if you read the manga you'd know. He was raped as a child. Sold to a pedo soldier in the group by his own father figure because he was jealous of Guts's talent and wanted to break him. And yes, he also just flat out ganked the guy in battle as soon as he could. I think it was actually the straw that broke the camel's back for the band leader father figure who flat out tried killed him himself but got killed by Guts and everyone thought Guts was a betrayer. Man all of Berzerk is just one giant fuck you to Guts. Poor guy :/
I fuck with Baki, Yusuke, Revi, Alucard(Hellsing Ultimate), Jotaro, and Guts. 🔥🔥❤️ Honorable mentions would be: Joskue(Jojo's), Akame(Akame ga Kill), Afro(Afro Samurai), Ryuko(Kill la kill), and Sebastian( Black Butler).
A few names that should’ve been on the list: Luffy and Zoro from One Piece; Sanzo, Goku,Gojyo and Hakkai from Gensoumaden Saiyuki; Kyoya Hibari from Katekyo Hitman Reborn; Sasuke from Naruto; Goku and Vegeta from Dragonball; Killua from Hunter X Hunter; Seiya from Saint Seiya….and these are the first that came to my mind - and yes, I know some of them are not protagonists….but neither are Revy or Simon.
Holy shit... how did I not think of #1 that's literally my fave anime/manga lol. I guess I've just subsectioned it off to a manga only story at this point since I don't think we'll ever get a good adaptation.
I’m honestly kind of let down by the fact that Accelerator from A Certain Magical Index/A Certain Scientific Railgun wasn’t included on this list. The dude is probably the most nonchalant and badass character in the entire show with the most sadistic personality (in the beginning anyways). We’re talking about a dude who shatters the ground around him with a minimal effort stomp and throws entire 50-foot skyscrapers. Yeah sure, his vector abilities had their limits later on due to him suffering brain damage from a bullet to the head. But still, god forbid he gets a hold of or even so much as touches anyone with his abilities active, they’re pretty much already dead at that moment.
I'm sad that the immortal Sugimoto didn't make this list. He's had part of his brain blown out, been stabbed hundreds of times from head to toe(including thru the cheek) and can unleash a whirlwind of fists if he gets worked up.

Gintoki always getting left out of the badass department
He is somewhat but he doesn't belong in top 20 though
He is a goofy comedian character
11:25
Alucard is to anime as Dante is to video games.
Just like Anderson is to anime as Vergil is to videogames.

How Typically Ironic.
Guts. Why do we even ask? He is the chairman of the round table of badasses with black air force energy.

Lol Kenshiro doesn't rip his shirt it flees from his power lol
Revy is one of my favorite anime characters and no one ever talks about Black Lagoon. Its nice seeing this on the list.
I sometimes forget that the nickname originated from Black Lagoon 😅 Since I was a big fan of the show in my teens, I took to calling my wife "Revy" because her name is Rebekah, and yeah, it stuck like crazy, so now it's a daily thing I say hahaha.

Revy.

What do you think? These are the Best Epic Badass Protagonistic Anime Heroes I've known for years. Pretty Epic and Badass, huh? 😄😁
I' m happy Date Masamune made it into list too
@@yannispirou101character development is good but his ideology is so stupid
And mediocre
I will use talk no jutsu to achieve peace
Yeah Naruto 2.0
Revy, Spike, Guts, were the first 3 names that popped in my head
Sweet list. But if we are including Revy, I demand an honorable mention for Mikasa 😂
Guts is so influential, you can see the shadow of him in every souls-ring game, including the bestest boy in Elden Ring.
Ichigo Kurasaki, one of my most favorite shonen manga/anime characters!
Revy Is badass. Rewatch black lagoon every year.
Glad g gundam is high on this list, such an underrated show.
How is Hajime Nagumo not on the list?! He went from a weak but ultimately nice guy to a sadistic gunslinger with a harem and a bad attitude!
I never knew the Omae wa mou shindeiru guy had powers. I thought he was a fighter, lol. Had only seen memes
Jonathan Mar from Jormungand is definitely a badass. A former child soldier turned mercenary with a stoic personality. Now that’s hardcore right there.
Valmet too. You bring a gun to fight her knife and you'll still lose.
BTW the japanese voice actress for Revy does Dawn in the Pokémon Anime
The english VA is Twilight Sparkle, right?
@@abrahamambriz892 no its Marÿke Hendrikse
Spike Spiegel will always be my favorite.
What!?!! Absolutely no mention from Seto Kaiba from Yugioh, Levi from Attack on Titan, Genos from One Punch man, Kakashi from Naruto, or Vegeta, the prince of all Saiyans from DBZ!?!?
its almost like its a list of protagonists....
It's a list of anime protagonists !
Yu Yu Hakusho is so good i keep going back and watching it every few years
Not a bad list, but could’ve used at least one more female protagonist besides Revy. My choice would be Major Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
AMEN!!!
Heavily centred around classic anime, this list.
Don't get me wrong, all these series are incredible. But if we're talking specifically about "badass" protags, some of the recent titles have given us a few MCs that are far more "badass" than some of the MCs of these classic anime.
Just talking about badass MCs in isolation, without taking how good the series is in consideration.
14:31 Mobile Fighter G Gundam - the fusion of Real Robot and Super Robot with the super destructiveness of Dragon Ball Z.
Dark Schneider is one of the coolest and most badass anime protagonist IV been seen. You know how refreshing it is to have a harem protagonist that actually wants to and does hit it.
‘Who else do you know who can take down an entire criminal syndicate with only a pistol and some gernades?”
The Babayaga.
John Wick.
Perhaps you'd already know, but Chad Stahelski was inspired by Cowboy Bebop when creating John Wick. Chad is also currently doing fight choreography for a new anime called "Lazarus," that happens to be from Cowboy Bebop's creator.
All shonen jump main protagonists are badasses
I think Gintoki and Vash both deserve a spot on this list.
I think Vash is conditionally badass. Sometimes he's really silly and goofy, but when put in a corner, he really shows his skill.
Same with Gintoki, goofy and skilled
My favourite badass anime protagonist is Mikazuki Augus from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. He may seem cold & emotionless on the outside but on the inside he cares for his allies & friends & family. Just don’t be an enemy of him, tekkadan or any others of his allies or else he’ll beat you to a brutal pulp with his Gundam Barbatos, Gundam Barbatos Lupus or Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex!
I also like Orga Itsuka from the same series & Mikazuki & the rest of Tekkadan wouldn’t be who they are without Orga being with them throughout their time together both on & off the battlefield.
I really miss everyone in the Tekkadan organization. They didn’t deserve the tragic end of their organization or the deaths of their members that died in the series. Rest in peace Tekkadan. 😭
Love seeing Revy on the thumbnail. She's badass, love black lagoon. So many cool characters. Watch it once a year. One of my favs

guts being #1 is perfect
Yeah, he's my favorite on this list too
You're missing Gintoki and Oscar (Rose of Versailles). No mention of Ryo Saeba (City Hunter) either.
Glad to see revy on this list
You got so many of my faves on the list!!! But, my top 3 had to be........ Guts, Revy, and........ (I know I'll catch heat here....) Gene Starwind!! o7 😎✊🏿🔥
PS: I'd add Kyo From Samurai Deeper Kyo and Claire from Claymore!!
2:25, 4:23, 7:30, 9:36, 10:46, 15:32, 17:23, 18:30, 19:45, despite what some people say I think these heroes should team up with Sora from Kingdom Hearts
Akane: *breathes*
Internet: omae wa mou shindeiru
Tanjiro, Light and eren deserves to be in list.
REASON:
1)Tanjiro is so badass at only 15-16 years age who can go up against muzan without fearing him.😈
2)Which other MC have that much guts to destroy 80% humanity like Eren??💔
3)because he is kira💪
Idk, man wouldn't call them badasses, only one with a slight claim is Tanjiro as he can actually fight, but he doesn't give off badass energy if you get what I mean. Eren is just an average fighter and only reason he has such a massive kill count is because he basically just pressed the big red extinction button...
Light is literally just about manipulation and brains, he could hardly beat a 6th grader in an actual fight and in the end he even got outsmarted by a child so...
As I opened this video I said to myself “the #1 spot is gonna be jotaro kenshiro or guts”
When it comes to this list of badass characters these are definitely the characters that you want fighting alongside rather than against.
Especially with characters like Kenshiro & Guts
We need an Anime that is just every badass anime character hanging out in one mansion and getting into hilarious antics
These badass protagonists make their antagonists look like another easy task.
I think Hajime Nagumo is one of the best badass! 😎
Badass anime protagonists are a force of nature. Watch yourself around them. They are definitely not to be trifled with! 🤩😆👊🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️
Naruto,Goku,Luffy,Tatsumi(Akame Ga Kill),Ichigo Kurosaki(Bleach),Meliodas(Seven Deadly Sins),Alucard(Hellsing Ultimate),Thorfinn(Vinland Saga),Issei Hyoudou(High School DXD),Inuyasha,Revy(Black Lagoon) and Devilman(Akira Fudo)!
Goku, Guts, Jonathan Joestar, Kenshiro, Yusuke, Naruto, Ichigo, Luffy, Natsu, Meliodas, Yuji, Deku and Asta are the most badass protagonists in anime.
Agreed, this list is invalid without those. Take away the mobile suits and how badass are they without them compared to even goblin slayer at 20? Goku could destroy most of them.
@@chelseahope3454That's true.
Video idea: best anime voice performances of 2023, who also agrees with it?
Gintoki of Gintama and Ginji Amano & Ban Mido of Getbackers deserve a sport of mentions in here
Glad to see Guts at number one. How do you even compare some of the epic one liners during the series.
Guts: My sword has gotten very dull. However, it's three times as thick and does three times the damage of a normal sword. You'd better pray you die quickly, or this could be painful.
Guts: Huh? What’s that you say? So there are still 50 of you left standing? At this rate, it’ll be dawn before I can crack open all of your skulls. "Grins menacingly."
I mean damn, thats in one battle and not only does he say it he proceeds to do it. 🤘
I’m not gonna lie…that might be the perfect top 3
Spike Spiegel - Cowboy Bebop the guy can literally kick your @$$ with his eyes closed.
9:35 Ghost Fighter anime is such a classic 90s anime show to watch and enjoy.
Revy and Alucard are my favorites.
Finally some Outlaw Star love!!
I HAVE NO ENEMIES
Only those who redeemed themselves after walking down the path of violence are real badasses for me
Bruh i have no enemies
A cringe 3 year old statement
Only delusional kids who want to run away from reality without accepting that without violence u cannot accept peace will use that 3 year old
U love talk no jutsu mc
Cool list…but I think Mugen from Samurai Champloo would’ve deserved to be on here!
Gene over vash? I love gene but vash is even more badass
Revy is my favorite girl from Black Lagoon! Sure, I love Balalaika, but Revy is just too damn good to me. Alucard is my vampire boy!
Honestly, Sakai Rihito AKA Licht Bach from Plunderer deserves to be on this list.
I feel like you could swap these ones into the list also there's Randal oland from pumpkin scissors who is a walking tank destroyer, kyo from samurai deeper kyo, jiro from black blood brothers, hie from darker than black, Kenshin himura from rurouni Kenshin And Trevor Belmont from Castlevania could all work and sorry for any misspelling
Dark Schneider, Revy, Kenshiro, and Alucard are here nice Dark Schneider is badass and underrated waiting for Bastard!! seasons 2.
Same with revy needs a season 4 of Black Lagoon, her and Dark Schneider 2 of them didn't end their series yet unlike Alucard and Kenshiro are already finished.
Imagine watchmojo not puting Gurren Lagann in a top of theirs just because
Im glad that Gene Starwind at least got some admiration for Outlaw Star. Also were is Anos Voldigoad? He should have been in the top 5 at least
Maaan Drifters had such a cool concept and was such a badass show too bad we probably will never get a season 2 😥
I am shocked that Gene Starwind made this list Outlaw Star do not get much love, but there is so many more that could of been added on this list such as Hajmi from Arifureta, Naruto who kicked Ichigo's butt in a deathbattle, Maou from The Devil is a Part timmer just to name a few.
If Guts hadn't been on this list, I was going to ragequit WatchMojo. Glad to see you redeemed yourselves.
No love for Escanor is bothersome. Went toe-to-toe with the Demon King, as a human, and didn’t flinch
Escanor isn't really the protagonist, Meliodas is.
Black Lagoon should have a Tarantino collab L-A movie
Top 10 Anime Characters That Suffered A Lot But Eventually Found Peace.
I hope they make that list soon.
A few honorable mentions:
Asta (Black Clover)
Luffy (One Piece)
Edward (FMAB)
Naofumi (Rising of the shield hero)
Anos (Misfit of demon academy).

I’m honestly just glad when Gaogaigar gets recognition.
Forgot one thing about Guts that wasn't said. But if you read the manga you'd know. He was raped as a child. Sold to a pedo soldier in the group by his own father figure because he was jealous of Guts's talent and wanted to break him. And yes, he also just flat out ganked the guy in battle as soon as he could. I think it was actually the straw that broke the camel's back for the band leader father figure who flat out tried killed him himself but got killed by Guts and everyone thought Guts was a betrayer. Man all of Berzerk is just one giant fuck you to Guts. Poor guy :/
I fuck with Baki, Yusuke, Revi, Alucard(Hellsing Ultimate), Jotaro, and Guts. 🔥🔥❤️
Honorable mentions would be: Joskue(Jojo's), Akame(Akame ga Kill), Afro(Afro Samurai), Ryuko(Kill la kill), and Sebastian( Black Butler).
It’s more like: “9 people almost as badass as Guts”
I freaking love Guts! He is one of my favorite badass anime guys!
Jonathan Joestar & Dark Schneider are badass!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Black lagoon is the only live action anime adaptation i would want to see
A few names that should’ve been on the list: Luffy and Zoro from One Piece; Sanzo, Goku,Gojyo and Hakkai from Gensoumaden Saiyuki; Kyoya Hibari from Katekyo Hitman Reborn; Sasuke from Naruto; Goku and Vegeta from Dragonball; Killua from Hunter X Hunter; Seiya from Saint Seiya….and these are the first that came to my mind - and yes, I know some of them are not protagonists….but neither are Revy or Simon.
The fact that Simon is even on this list, let alone being so high on it, just shows how bais watchmojo is.
Explain to me how Afro samurai is not a top 5 or 10? My man literally slices a musket shot and a rpg in half with a samurai sword.
Probably, the first watchmojo video, when I agree with 1st place
But the true question is who would win in a fight between them all?
Thank you for not just putting all one piece and dbz characters on here!
If Guts wasn’t on this list I was going to scream.
Holy shit... how did I not think of #1 that's literally my fave anime/manga lol. I guess I've just subsectioned it off to a manga only story at this point since I don't think we'll ever get a good adaptation.
I’m honestly kind of let down by the fact that Accelerator from A Certain Magical Index/A Certain Scientific Railgun wasn’t included on this list. The dude is probably the most nonchalant and badass character in the entire show with the most sadistic personality (in the beginning anyways). We’re talking about a dude who shatters the ground around him with a minimal effort stomp and throws entire 50-foot skyscrapers.
Yeah sure, his vector abilities had their limits later on due to him suffering brain damage from a bullet to the head. But still, god forbid he gets a hold of or even so much as touches anyone with his abilities active, they’re pretty much already dead at that moment.
I'm sad that the immortal Sugimoto didn't make this list. He's had part of his brain blown out, been stabbed hundreds of times from head to toe(including thru the cheek) and can unleash a whirlwind of fists if he gets worked up.
Kenshiro - Fist of The North Star Hands Down The Most Badass Anime Protagonist!
guts step down luffy come we have kicked the guy out of your seat
Sometimes, you should not choose but collect
