channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at the heroes
and villains in anime who started off as
competent if each had underpowered only
to go away for a while and return as
utter beasts keep in mind we won’t be
including characters like seaman who
gradually became more badass over time
number 10 Tokugawa Ieyasu sengoku basara
the last party Lord Shingen please
forgive me but the future will be forged
with these hands let’s be honest here
out of all the crazy warlords that tore
up the landscape during the animes
action-packed run nobody gave a damn
about chaos ooh I mean why would they he
was hardly a relevant character one who
seemed to meet his end at the hands of
mitts of here–a at least until the
movie sequel came out wherein he somehow
came back from the dead and managed to
share the stage with both Masamune and
Yukimura sorry I haven’t kept in better
touch oh you’ve grown since last we met
well he even managed to hold his own
against Nobunaga in the fun’ll standoff
that is progress I wish you eternal
bliss when I am gone I have faith that
others will forge their own bonds
number 9 at Halawa cough beyblade ji
revolution
go ahead make your move it’ll be your
last
yeah when we last saw this guy he was
presented as so icy cold that he
actually stepped right into the middle
of edge Lord territory after all his
beyblade launch it was a god damn pistol
and he even turned himself into a cyborg
at one point because reasons thankfully
all that was pushed to the side during
the series of final entry teller now
leading the Blitzkrieg boys without
Boris’s intervention finally found his
voice so with his new design and cocky
attitude he felt like a threat once
again come on
keep running granted pretty much
everyone looks more badass into your
evolution but it had been so long since
we saw this Russian riots that we were
all pretty enamored now I’ve got you
right where I want you number 8
shinpachi Shimura Gintama forever the
voice of reason when ginto key and the
rest managed to pull one of their usual
stunts you could rely on shinpachi to
serve as the classic straight man still
outside of that one time he turned into
Kenshiro
he was ways off from becoming a badass
swordsman at least until the time skip
after the defeat of boots arrow in which
he appeared with a burner snoo wardrobe
very reminiscent of Ginn’s okie yeah
Arthur’s dual kiss don’t get us wrong he
still got his backside handed to him but
it was cleared the wind from before had
left the building he’s hanging on he
mustered a tent on number seven toshiro
hitsugaya bleach my captain now you’re
done teen ichimaru yeah yeah everyone
loves hitsugaya the boy prodigy with the
sexy lieutenant who flies into a battle
with an ice dragon on his back don’t get
us wrong he had some legitimately
awesome moments in the battle against
the Espada but it wasn’t until he
returned to help Ichigo against the four
bringers that we finally see how far he
had come since we first saw him back in
soul society grunted that was mostly due
to his bitching new hairstyle but that
was also yeah it was partly due to his
bitchin new hair smell the deal is I
won’t freeze your arms in your head if
you shut off your power in the next five
minutes I won’t kill you
number six Dio Brando JoJo’s Bizarre
ba-da-da-da back when he was hustling
with Jonathan Joestar in ye olde merry
England the future Lord of means went
from a despicable brat to Eve want to be
vampire and to his credit managed to
make the most of it by unleashing his
hordes across the land of course this
was nothing when compared to his revival
as a stand user not only did he look the
part but he also had the authority to go
you felt his Menace as each of his
servants gave their life for his cause
not to mention the fact he could now
freeze time and give Jotaro freakin Cujo
a run for his money in the awesomeness
department five asemu asuno Mobile Suit
Gundam age
sorry we’re under real opportunity you
know will my anonymity speaking of next
generations when we were first
introduced to the son of prior
protagonists Flitz he was just a
carefree large rock yet so a few years
later and now he’s a god damn space
pirates yeah Titanic you Skaro miss
Italy cornets teeth
inheriting the determination of his
father while also standing as much more
of a flawed character azimu oh we mean
captain ash quickly became a highlight
of the final arc especially since his
gundam age-2 got a badass new coat of
paint
sorry Kyo but there’s no way you’re
gonna outshine your puppy number for
Korra pika
Hunter hunter you just a diesel Theo
let’s be honest here
while the scarlet eyes Drake was pretty
cool this hunter still wasn’t exactly on
the same level as the likes of Hisoka or
killer at least until he came back with
after getting some much-needed training
off screen Cora pika returned and was
finally able to get his vengeance on a
member of the Phantom troupe all thanks
to his new weapon of choice able to
conjure up chains with a multitude of
killing traits the moment we found out
qurupeco had become a specialist purely
to exterminate the spider he jumped up
several spots in our books Dan tonics re
also sit under there what’s everything
number three Natsu dragged Neal fairy
tale we won’t pretend that the
salamander wasn’t a powerhouse to begin
with after all he managed to bend right
through rival Wizards demons and
everything else under the Sun that being
said he still managed to top it all when
he made his grand return after a couple
of years of intense training complete
throw in the fact he set a princess’s
castle on fire Sibley as a way to
announce his plan to get the gang back
together Natsu showed that time had only
made his stones bigger
corn I didn t see your second I eat
Thank You Donny kind it off
number 2 Naruto Uzumaki Naruto Shippuden
so what do you think did I seem more
like a woman to you now you kidding
not really you haven’t changed at all
mature Z and Naruto don’t tend to go
hand in hand while is Chihuahua like
personality was always part of his charm
it was still refreshing to see how the
jinchuriki had found a way to evolve as
a character after training at the land
of the frogs arriving just in the nick
of time during pains assault on Konoha
naruto Don’s a badass new coat very
reminiscent of his father’s
with his new sage mode in tow
Naruto manages to quickly take down most
of the paths of pain he may still be
knuckleheaded but at least he stepped up
his game in this dramatic moment the one
I seek number one goose up one piece we
don’t have a village to protect we’re
still struggling to come to grips that
the long-nosed marksman actually managed
a bull such an incredible 180 sure all
the members of the straw hat crew got a
boost during those two years they spent
powering up but this is goose up we’re
talking about heisel arias but he ain’t
no Zorro
at least until we saw him casually make
his reappearance buffed up beyond belief
and armed to the teeth with a crazy
amount of nature based weaponry shuts me
this turnaround is such a miracle that
it’s only fitting the ESOP ended up
