10 Anime Characters With More Potential Than Saitama
Descriptions
Ever since the arrival of the hit series One-Punch Man, fans have held the protagonist Saitama in the highest regard. As the series name suggests, Saitama is notable for defeating most of his opponents in one punch with minimal effort. As a result, he's seen as one of the strongest anime characters of all time.
Despite how absurd Saitama's strength is, there are a rare few who possess power that makes him pale in comparison. Even more terrifying is that they are more powerful than him without them having reached their full potential yet. While Saitama has only begun to show his true power, these characters have potential that far outclasses his.

Even without swordsmanship, he's blessed with hundreds of divine blessings that make him virtually unbeatable in combat.

She can enter anime worlds, manipulating anime characters however she wants by controlling their plot.
Altair is a public domain character, which means anyone is free to use her however they want online. This benefits her as she gains every ability given to her in a fictional story. With powers like these, it shouldn't come as a surprise that her latent potential is limitless.
1 The Goddess Of Dawn Predates The Universe Itself
Invaders Of The Rokujouma
A character many fans are unfamiliar with, The Goddess Of Dawn is the supreme ruler of the Invaders Of The Rokujouma universe.
