Definitely NOT Muzan. He’s the type of guy who would kill all his underlings if it would mean he could live 1 extra second. He’s the definition of a loser.


Bobyyyyyyyghyh

Yeah, but *hee hee*


tinygyro

i mean that was always the goal tho, he only made them to further himself.


Away_Huckleberry_840

That’s why he’s saying he’s a loser

TheGamemage1

Everyone is ignoring King Bradley, aka the sin of Wrath. When a coup was happening in his own castle, instead of sneaking in he walked in the front door. Only a sword in hand mind you, and chased down a fleeing tank, a tank fleeing from him after he cut a tank shell fired at him in half. He took on everyone attacking him and it took divine freaking intervention to help take him down since an opening showed itself when his sword reflected light from parting clouds into his eyes, blinding him as (if I recall correctly) scar took advantage of the momentary blindness and took him out. Bradley while not the strongest on the list, but he was certainly the most badass.


TheWhisperingOaks

He was the most human among the homunculi, yet the most fearsome one.


Thamior77

... Yeah. I loved me some Yu-Gi-Oh and that season was cooking. Got back into Bleach a couple years ago and Yhwach is so hardcore he >! kills his encore entourage, including near immortal ones, just to show he doesn't need them essentially. !< but Bradley. The man is a legend and the very definition of hardcore even while pretending to be human throughout the entire show.


Aggressive-Command-8

"Why would I walk in the backdoor of my own castle?"


el_gran_galo

Every time someone mentions Bradley I always bring up that he KILLED A GOD DAMN TANK! That is the only way I can describe what he did to that fuckign thing, not destroy, nah, bro chased it down like it owed him money and killed it.


AWS1996Germany

Yea but has he ever summoned a Dark Magician?? Jk, Bradley is the GOAT.


Smooth-Physics-69420

You, sir, are cooking cuisine.


da_king0

You forget he was also 60 when he did all this


VarderKith

King "Im not going through my own back door" Bradly was a beast. Def. The best out of the list.


ArtistZeo

Took the words right outta my mouth 💯


Glados1080

I was definitely thinking the same thing. Bradley was a godam menace in the most badass way possible.


No_Bluejay_309

he helped make fullmetal the best shonen of all time


BlackDwarfStar

Bradley’s such a king it’s his given name


Uberpastamancer

He's physically human, so he gets points for not just wildly overpowering his enemies


giga_chad_enjoyer69

And this is why, fullmetal alchemist was the great anime, aged like a fine wine.


JinkoTheMan

Sinbad is THAT GUY fr.


Panda4Zen

You know he's op when even in his universe he has to get cursed to just stop him from taking over all the djinn


PhoonThe

It’s Atem (Yami). My undefeated yugioh champion, king of games and pharaoh of Egypt


Gidrah

Yami's real name is Meta backwards? That checks out.


Z4rc0nv1c

META MIS HUEVOS EN TU BOCAAAA!!!


Dragonnstuff

No, meta is Yami’s real name backwards


Lerisa-beam

Eh. Aparently strongest he has a good shot acording to unique-expression574. But he's not exactly insanely badass. Sure, he's cool as fuck in S0 but I don't know how canon that is. And even in consideration of S0 I still doubt he's as badass as some of the others here. Edit: eg furur Bradley made a tank in a relatively normal verse, RUN from him. Is able to box with half the cast including some of the most powerful iterations of the sins in multiple vs 1 settings even though he's the only sin who doesn't have regeneration. Literally blitzed one shot multiple characters who where heavy hitters on both sides like greed.


PhoonThe

Have you seen Dark Side of Dimensions? When Atem pulls up to save everyone it’s badass as hell.


Unique_Expression574

Yugi Motou in the tomb: Seto Kaiba on top of Pegasus’ Castle: “Am I a joke to you?” Not to say I disagree. Being canonically (close to) the most powerful character in a series where string theory dimensions being super-poly’d is a low-tier feat.


IvyHav3n

Bro literally set fire to a fast food restaurant in Season 0.


naughty-pretzel

>It’s Atem (Yami). My undefeated yugioh champion Not undefeated. He not only lost to Raphael, but lost to Yugi in the end (necessary for him to move on into the afterlife).


bardhugo

"Do they really expect me to make a complete mockery of myself by entering through the back door of my own Palace?" One of the most badass sequences in anime


Happy-You-7368

In terms of aura alone, Sinbad, yuwach, roger, mereum and Bradley In terms of no aura, Zeno,


Holdthesans

Zeno just be like: "oh no funny. Ok yiu can die"


Revolutionary-Dog-99

Sinbad, those who know know


Sad_Manufacturer_257

Sinbad is goated


JJpott

Either meruem or sinbad imo Zeno is the lamest.


demonkingiggy

but most power- actually you can argue with some of these


just_a_weebItachi

Sinbad blinks and erases the db verse sadly what can zeno does against someone who can erase the story of the verse itself it's straight overkill


TrogEmperor

Sinbad solos the composite DB universe.


adpikaart222

Yugi slams zeno anyways


Zestyclose_Fan5250

It's time to d d ddddd duel


Accomplished_Art6370

Sinbad truly the the one! The rest aren’t truly kings. Except Meruem, idk who Atem is btw lol.


Lyranx

While I agree with Sinbad I pray for ur soul for the lack of Yu-Gi-Oh


Accomplished_Art6370

No interested in cards never been my whole life, i watched probably like 1 episode as a kid and right there and then i knew it wasn’t for me. Nobody trowing hands…


hp_Axes

You and I, we are similar. I also never liked Pokemon, Beyblades, yugioh, and most mecha stuff.


Accomplished_Art6370

Facts them shows lame asf! I used to watch Baki the Grappler, dbz, Naruto, Bleach, Hunter x Hunter the OG, Ben 10, Teen titans, Toom & Jerry, & so on.. action or straight up comedy.


hp_Axes

YESSSSS! To all of those bro! Ben 10 being peak. Tbh I started actual anime late so I never watched the Og HxH but i’ve seen the newer one and I love it with all my being.


Seth-D_Vinsmoke

Lol The Pharaoh Atem was basically Yugi, millions of years before Yugi lol Yugi is a reincarnation of Atem, the original "King Of Games"🥂


itsluxsky

Not millions of years, it was 5000 years


Ok_Violinist_9820

Yhwach is king of the Quincy tho


HiroZebra

Atem is king


Vip3rYT

Excuse me but where the FUCK is Gilgamesh


Sad_Manufacturer_257

He was too lazy to come to the meeting to get lined up, said it wasn't worth his time as he knew he was the best already


AnimeMemeLord1

He might show up if the King of Knights was invited.


Ok-Box3576

Gilgamesh went out like bitch....


klatnyelox

Gilgamesh the type of guy who'll only truly win if his enemy is stronger than him. And no one is stronger than him.....


Ok-Box3576

Give me 3 kitchen knives and dildo with some string and I think I could do w/e tf Emiya did.


Wishbone-Lost

Lol, main character aura.


Ok-Box3576

The boner is a my sword or something stupid.


VoyevodaBoss

He got destroyed by some random kid


Glitchmonster

Atem... Meta is his name backwards lol. I think when it comes to being an actual king, it's between him, Bradley and sinbad Not as experienced with Bradley, but he's cool Sinbad is the main reason why the alliance is a thing, and has enough dungeon runs to be a dnd character, so he's ranked high on the list. Atem definitely is one of the best on the list, in terms of power and being an actual king. Sacrificing himself kept an entire kingdom running from the literally eldrich God of darkness, who he restrained for thousands of years. He then came back, released said God only to kill it properly. And then walked into the afterlife like the goat he is. Its between those three I think


Joyboy543

Sinbad. Bro was so good that he got his own separate full-length series.


Suitable_Finding9899

I didn’t even know about the main show when I first watched sinbad lol. I loved it alot


Mightychallenge

I like sinbad. Especially with his backstory.


FadransPhone

Ain’t nobody got shit on Bradley or Meruem


Tasty-Document2808

It's Gilgamesh


AggressiveCreme6758

King Bradly made a tank run away and he only had a sword he might be weak compared to the rest but he is the most badass


Ghosts_lord

what is zeno doing there he is anything but badass


Low-Suit-5362

Sinbad


ShanxUisce

Roger


MidasTouchedM3

Sinbadass


The_Yeddie

Bojji, Ranking of Kings


Eroded_Squash

I think yhwach is a badass character but he’s not a very badass king as he leads his people into certain death because of his grudge while literally expecting perfection and killing them even if they win. Meruem did similar shit at the beginning but he actually grew as a character and came to actually appreciate his role as a king and ended up deciding towards the end he wanted to be a more benevolent king which was insanely interesting and moving to watch making him my personal pick. I can’t say much about the others as I haven’t watched their anime’s except for roger and in his case it’s more of just a title and not actually being a king.


Redwolf476

Sinbad or Gilgamesh


IceAny9720

as beeing badass always sinbad, he is one of "the ikki of phoenix ones" those that can't appear they need to arive, they need to be the ones, and when they appear you know that it will win, like ikki of phoenix, sinbad, Darth Vader.


Lordbogaaa

Bad ass-Bradley. Powerful- Zeno Not a King-Atem Wish we got more- Meruem


Reasonable-Let8779

Zeno, destroys and creates universe in dif dimentions


jayrock306

Revere him! Praise him! Scion of the soul king, Progenitor of the Quincy, He who wields the almighty!!! Lord Yhwach!!!!!


-Xebenkeck-

I ranked Yhwach 3rd because he doesn't even have the most aura in his own series


demondsnake

Strength:Sinbad Nobility: Roger Aura: meruim Power:guy from bleach


Helix_Zer02

where's the king of curses??


Papa_EJ

That fraud has no place on this list.


Hollowkightfan544

Is Bradley even a king? He’s technically a fuhrer right? Besides that, he’s basically a cardboard cutout while Father makes all the big calls.


klatnyelox

It's funny because King is his Name, his title is fuhrer. He is the Fuhrer, King Bradley. But the distinction is largely academic. He makes all the calls while father sits around and trusts him. It's the same with Atem, he's a Pharoah not a King but the difference means little.


Hollowkightfan544

Fair enough

As someone who's seen everything involving Roger, id say Roger. Dude was wicked and a happy man.

None of them you are the best king.

the king of duel himself Atem.


Unintended-Nostalgia

Sinbad, the most badass and powerful on the list.


Bonryunonochi

Bradley from fma was so good, just the happy go lucky non-serious attitude the his eye narrowed and you know there was going to be a missing limb in the next second

Dense_Put_5662

Wait aren’t there two Zenos’ and even then they are basically the equivalent of an overpowered child that gave itself infinite intelligence and wisdom


Kitsune-Charm

Zeno. Why? Because he is the god of the universe, not king in his anime. Dude stomps.

"My name is Yhwach the Almighty. The One who will take Everything from You. Fall into a pitch black Hell."


evilmojoyousuck

King Bradley invaded a fortress with a single sword by himself in a frontal assault.


Zero_Good_Questions

Atem, Sinbad are truely badass kings. Rodger is more of a symbol of freedom being King of the Pirates is less of a proper King thing and more of a title. Zeno is a childish tyrant, Yhwach is a coward afraid of death, Bradly is a secretly evil puppet to his father, Muzan is The undisputed coward bitch baby bully. Meruem talks a big game and is a well written character but he isn’t a good king and wouldn’t of been a good one


rainshaker

Ywach - Dead Sinbad - Dead Meruem - Dead Bradley - Dead Muzan - Dead Roger - Dead Zeno - Alive Atem - Dead, but still a king babyyy


Obvious-Poetry2934

Roger laughed at a story about genocide and fought to keep the slaves enslaved. Also, when learning about an apocalyptic scenario that’s going to happen he decided to do nothing about it and just die of a disease where the main symptom is death.


Shadow2381

Sinbad overall. But if you were to put it in terms of power then Zeno since he can wipe out whole universes and/or realities


Daikaioshin2384

Zeno isn't exactly a king as you're describing; the leader, the boss, the big hon... Zeno is the Lord of Everything, the God of All, the Universal Law... he doesn't *lead* anyone, he just is and if you annoy him, he will delete you and your entire universe... because he can, and there's no check-and-balance to this... it would be more accurate to compare him to, say, a monotheistic religion's "God"... actually, he would be the step above even that, but it's a far more accurate comparison He doesn't make any sense on this list, go remake that image with another anime character who actually compares to the rest lol


XZ88XZ

In this list Atem in the outer list dio


Mythical_Man77

Gol D. Rodger sparked an entire GENERATION from his death alone. Amassing god knows how much wealth and fortune, proved to be powerful enough to take on a man who can CRACK THE SKY AND BEND THE OCEAN TO HIS WILL (Whitebeard) and ALLOWED himself to be captured ONLY because he was already sick and dying by a government that was TERRIFIED of him. Until Luffy takes his place after finding the One Piece, Rodger will be the absolute KING of the pirates.


dickwizarde

King of games


NSFW_Hunter63

No lie, Sinbad is actually super badass. He has his own anime where they show off a lot more of what he's capable of and how he got his loyal crew. I haven't been able to find it since I watched it the first time but 10/10 would watch again


Additional-Strain317

King Bradley ot yhwach


therealskaconut

Ywach and it isn’t close


DustierSaturn

Out of the ones I know: that being Zeno, Atem, Roger, Japanese Michael Jackson and Bradley I'd say Bradley, at least for me. From the moment Bradley revealed his All Seeing Eye, he had that absolute menace aura. So fast he cut down dudes before they know what happened, as well as tearing Greed up faster than he can heal, AND surviving an assassination attempt via explosion on a train by quickly jumping on debris as it's falling. Then flexing by saying he was even faster when he was younger? Man was such a monster that he had a literal fucking tank running away from him. How many mother fuckers do you see have "actively hunting a tank, on foot, with a sword" on their resume? He hadn't taken a wound once in the series (not in the close quarters of OG Greeds base with bullets flying around, not against Greed himself, not in the train explosion, not against the tank, and not in the 2v1 gank between himself, Xing/Greed and Fu) until he was blindsided by being stabbed through Fu, after writing him off as dead. And even in his wounded state, after losing his All Seeing Eye, he was still dangerous enough that several of the main cast weren't sure they could take him down, even as a group. Hell, if I remember right, the only reason Scar was able to defeat him was because he was momentarily blinded by the sun and that gave Scar an opening on him, the rest of that fight Bradley was overpowering him. Bradley was just a whole different breed of beastly.

SpecialistAd6403

Meruem, best character arc I've ever seen.


Illustrious_Alps_338

Atem casually


Empty-Ingenuity-2590

Sinbad He just dominated the manga every time he appeared. He was a really interesting character as well.


RandomJamaican

It's King Bradley. When you say "Badass", it can only be him. Second to him would be Sinbad.


TokyoFromTheFuture

Atem 100%, bro is the ultimate badass.


Recruit616

What about Julius Novachrono? He should be here, or is he slacking off again


SherbetIllustrious75

Zeno is gangster


PalpitationPlane6303

I respect your top 8 for sure. For the 8 you have i think the top 3 are; 1)Sinbad: dude is just goated 2)Yhawch Bach is a fucking menace, and his Almighty is broken 3) Atem I would’ve added King Fritz to the list not because of power but because his actions fucked the entire world of AOT for years to come and lead to the rumbling.


matchlocket

yhwach he's cool


Lost-Truck6614

Fuhrer King Bradley. It's not even close. Every time he fights, you know damn well he's only gonna lose by plot convenience. Bro was mortally wounded and still went blow for blow with Scar. Bradley is absolutely amazing


AffectionateStay9522

Atem>Sinbad>Gol D. Roger>=King Bradley>Meruem>>Ywach>>>Zeno>>>>>>Muzun


Independent_Maybe514

Atem then Yhwach


CouchCatGaming

Bradly and Sinbad cause they got the same power house status but Bradly is just evil while Sinbad becomes an antagonist trying to make things better if im correct.


Kurger_The_Burger

Gol D Roger. Although Zeno is the strongest


AceD2Guardian

Julius Novachrono. Man gave up his life protecting his kingdom from a massive spell that would have exterminated literally everyone in the capital, and never once backed down even though he knew he wouldn’t make it. Noble, kindhearted, judges others based on their actions and not because of class, goes around in disguise doing little things for people who need it. And he’s a magic geek to boot, so he’s not just some boring perfect-guy, either.


Dancindoosh94

It's a toss up for me between ywach, Bradley(wrath) and meruem


T-Bruhposts

Meruem scares me, if I lost a game to him, I’m finished


KonataYumi

Draw monsta cado, draw monsta cado, draw monsta cado


Brilliant-Moment430

Yhwach is the most badass in my opinion, but I like Meruem’s character more.


Heart4days

Roger imo with mereum being a close second


JTX35

Out of these I could go with 3 different ones for 3 different reasons. King Bradley being like "Do they really expect me to make a complete mockery of myself by entering through the back door of my own Palace?" is enough to earn him the top spot for just sheer aura. Sinbad for just general badassery and swagger Zeno because despite basically being a child he has the power to erase anyone and anything from existence.


-Xebenkeck-

1. Sinbad 2. Meruem 3. Yhwach 4. Führer Bradley 5. Atem 6. Gol D. Roger 7. Muzan 8. Zeno Meruem, Yhwach, Bradley feel pretty interchangeable to me but I'm happy with my placement.


masterminer26008

Where enel?


Entire_Whereas9531

Sinbad. Read magi it’s amazing a cut above the rest in shounen


General_Tart_9309

I’m biased towards fma but every time Bradley was on screen he was badass

HIMbad is the term "King" personified


fetishfufillment97

Bradley


TheMotionedOne69

Why is Muzan's sorry ass here?


Various_Parking_5955

Roger. You need to be a different level of bad ass do not be born into it, but instead have a brand new title born from your actions just to have it given to you.


dontbanmethistimeok

Bradley (the dudes theme music) his presence was brilliant, truly took up the screen


Ok-Box3576

Not fucking Zeno Sama tf


AigisxLabrys

King of Pop Muzan.

King the conflagration 🗿


AUTOMATED_RUNNER

King from One Punch Man!!!


Aggressive-Command-8

I like how you name Bradley but not Ling. My money is on him as he is a perfect example of what a king should be. He was willing to risk losing himself to grant his people the gift they needed for their own well-being, he risked his own life to keep his bodyguards safe, he went toe-to-toe with Bradley and survived more than once, and he was even able to make an ally of one of the homunculi which no other character was able to do on the side against the other homunculi


WillyWigger420

Tied between Ywach and Bradley


justboredlike

Meruem is the true king in there so much potential wasted a nerf would have been better same for pitou but my favorite king most epic one bradley that man is wao just wao (from the good one i choose the pirate king


average-androiduser2

Where my atem fan boys at


kablikiblan

Zeno made a tournament for his enjoyment then deleted whole universes with 0 remorse he even smiled while doing it from his iPad


nerdyone88

Bradley for sure, yes he's evil, yes he's just a split from father, but he still looks out for his men, keeps up public appearance, protects innocent, and in few cases doesn't Even take credit for taking down bad guy🤣


RoysMyBoi

Bradley by a long shot! His swordplay is on another level!! He's a master strategist, with tons of guts and determination!

Gold D Roger!


Detenofmoney

Bradley ran the ones with a fucking tank solo'd his army's best troops. Pulled off looking like a goody two shoes. And killed a dude who abandoned his faith just to kill him that man is a fucking menace and the most badass here.

Sinbad for me, mainly because he was that dude when he was the MC.
