They stand out in the anime scene, regardless of their height, and display an unyielding spirit, unparalleled skills, and the ability to inspire fans worldwide. In this article, we'll take a look at some of the strongest anime characters of short stature. So, without further ado, let's get started.

10. Feitan Portor – Hunter × Hunter

Feitan is a key member of the Phantom Troupe and is highly skilled in the art of interrogation. While his short stature and stoic nature belie his incredible strength, Feitan can be extremely dangerous at times.

Because he rarely engages in combat, he often underperforms at the start of a real fight, but when Feitan gets serious, there's no stopping him. His extreme speed, immense strength, and swordsmanship, combined with his powerful Nen abilities, make him stand out among other spiders.

9. Toshiro Hitsugaya – Bleach

Toshiro Hitsugaya's only drawback is his short stature, though this doesn't define his overall worth. He's relatively young by Shinigami standards and appears to be a child, but he's notably the youngest individual to reach the rank of captain in Soul Society.

He is the most talented prodigy in Soul Society, as Ichimaru himself states, calling him the embodiment of "the heavenly white angel that blesses Soul Society once a century." Besides his swordsmanship, perhaps Hitsugaya's most striking characteristic is his intellect and natural talent.

8. Chuuya Nakahara – Bungo Stray Dogs

One of the most fearsome and short characters in anime, Chuuya Nakahara serves as an executive in the Port Mafia and possesses a strong ability called “Upon the Tainted Sorrow” which allows him to manipulate the gravity around him according to his own will.

His ability is so destructive that it sometimes spirals out of control, leaving his enemies trembling in fear. However, Chuuya's insecurity about his height doesn't go away, all thanks to his cunning former partner Dazai, who constantly mocks him for being like a chihuahua.

7. Asta – Black Clover

Asta is notorious in the anime community for his constant, high-pitched voice and short stature. Unable to wield the powers of a mage, Asta relies solely on his physical strength and works hard to become stronger.

Even though Asta doesn't have the vital element in the world Black Clover, this doesn't stop him from being one of the strongest members of the Black Bull squad. Using his swordsmanship and anti-magic energy, he achieved the rank of Arcane Stage mage.

6. Hiei – Yu Yu Hakusho

Hiei is a great fighter when it comes to unleashing his full powers. Hiei's unparalleled strength is his "Eye of Jagan," one of the most powerful eyes in the anime, granting access to a multitude of abilities, including controlling the minds of demons and low-level humans.

Hiei can also demonstrate a wide range of psychic abilities, such as telepathic communication, energy manipulation, pyrokinesis, and telekinesis. Once his Jagan Eye is activated, Hiei is nearly unbeatable, making him one of the strongest yet shortest anime characters.

5. Edward Elric – Fullmetal Alchemist

The "Fullmetal Alchemist" of the Amestrian army, Edward Elric is one of the loudest anime characters. He has a reputation for being foul-mouthed and is incurably cynical, sarcastic whenever anyone points out his height, as he dislikes being called a dwarf.

However, Edward is also a skilled alchemist and, despite his small stature and young age, is a remarkable combatant. He is also a competent hand-to-hand combatant and can easily take on opponents much larger than himself.

4. Killua Zoldyck – Hunter × Hunter

Killua Zoldyck plays a pivotal role in “Hunter × Hunter" and is considered one of the most daring anime characters for his cool yet mischievous demeanor. Although Killua appears to be a fun-loving boy, he can sometimes be a bit rude and aggressive towards others.

But what makes him even more deadly is his family background, made up of trained assassins, and even though he's only twelve years old, he doesn't hesitate to unleash bloodshed. Needless to say, he's one of the strongest yet shortest anime characters.

3. Meliodas – Nanatzu no Taizai

Son of the Demon King and one of the anime's deadly dark users, "Dragon's Sin of Wrath" Meliodas is considered the most resilient in his demonic form. He possesses unparalleled strength and has the ability to single-handedly destroy an empire; the Danafor Kingdom is proof of his mass destruction.

Meliodas' short stature and aloof demeanor do not reveal his ruthless personality, however, there have been instances where he has faced divine beings, including Fraudrin of the Ten Commandments and the Demon King, striking them both down.

2. Levi Ackerman – Attack on Titan

Humanity's strongest soldier, Levi Ackerman has one of the best character introductions in anime, and the moment he steps on screen, viewers know he will once again effortlessly dispatch a pack of Titans, without any help from his comrades.

Although considered short, Levi is one of the Survey Corps' skilled soldiers and has demonstrated his capabilities on numerous occasions, reflecting his competent personality. His cold, calculating demeanor suggests he's a man of fewer words and more action on the battlefield.

1. Tatsumaki – One Punch Man

One of the strongest psychics in anime and the second-ranked S-Class hero of the Hero Association, Tatsumaki is the most powerful esper in the series, capable enough to wield his gifted psychic abilities for offense, defense, or a variety of uses.

Known by her hero nickname "Tornado of Terror," she can easily lift and throw any object with her mind and can create psychic barriers so large that they envelop the entire city. Tatsumaki can also fly at great speeds using her powers, and there are very few entities that stand a chance against her.

Special mention:

Cells at Work (U-1146) – Cells in action!

The white blood cell, U-1146, is only micrometers in size, but its function is crucial to the survival of the human species. It may not be huge, but it does its job well, continuing to kill foreign substances that invade the body.

Due to the violent nature of his work, he is often covered in blood. With his agility to his credit, WBC can quickly eliminate a group of intruders single-handedly and can eliminate any type of harmful cell. Without it, the human body cannot function properly, making it a crucial cell.
