Random Anime Characters Who Become Strong Under Weird Circumstances (13 items)

  (#13) Ai Mori

  • The Law of Ueki

  In order to activate her ability, Ai Mori must persuade her target to pose with their fists pressed to their chin and one leg popped up. If she somehow satisfies this strange condition, she's able to brainwash them. Specifically, she can brainwash them into developing a raging obsession with eyeglasses. This is marginally useful in that she can force her target to obey her commands by threatening to destroy the glasses in question.

  (#6) Akiko Yosano Can Only Heal You If You're Already In Dire Straits In 'Bungo Stray Dogs'

  Akiko Yosano's power, Thou Shalt Not Die, seems like a standard issue healing ability - that is, until you hear what's required to activate it. She can't heal anybody unless their injuries are so severe that they're potentially fatal. To circumvent this, she beats the living hell out of whoever she wants to help. Consequently, many prefer to let their wounds heal on their own time.

  (#4) Tamaki Amajiki Can Manifest The Traits Of His Food In 'My Hero Academia' 

  Tamaki Amajiki can activate his quirk, Manifest, whenever he wants - but its strength and its nature depends on what he's eaten recently. While a food remains in his system, he can manifest the attitributes of whatever he ate in his body. So, for example, if he eats takoyaki, he can sprout octopus tentacles, and when he eats chicken he can grow wings.

  As long as he's capable of disgesting something, he can manifest its traits, but the effects only last until the digestion process is complete.

  (#10) Yuta Iridatsu Could Destroy The World If He Sees A Pair Of Panties In 'Punch Line'

  While many teenage boys wouldn't have any problem with catching a glimpse of a girl's panties, Yuta Iridatsu needs to scrupulously avoid such a sight. That's because if he sees a pair of panties, he becomes so inundated with raw power that he could potentially destroy the planet. In fact, the first time this happens to him, he actually becomes seperated from his body due to the intensity of his power.

  (#1) Escanor Is At His Stongest In The Daytime In 'The Seven Deadly Sins'

  Unlike some of the other characters on this list, Escanor doesn't really get to control when he gets a power-up and when he doesn't - it happens like clockwork. At night, he's a weak and mildmannered person who couldn't hurt a fly. In the daytime, he's a muscular, aggressive person who is practically dripping with magical energy. His power peaks at noon, whereupon he becomes invincible for approximately one minute.

  (#11) The Qwasers Get Their Power From Soma In 'The Qwaser Of Stigmata'

  Y'all knew this was coming. The Qwaser of Stigmata is one of the most notoriously weird shows in the history of anime, for exactly the reason that it's on this list.

  Qwasers control a particular element, such as copper, oxygen, iron, or anything else on the periodic table. To activate their powers, they have to drink something called Soma. Soma is taken from women's breasts, and it's a mixture of both breast milk and her soul. Taking too much can prove fatal, since it's, y'know, literally draining her soul.

  Why does anybody sign up for this? Because apparently, the process is immensely pleasurable. Also because of saving the world and whatever, but that is clearly not the point of this show.
