Random Greatest Instant Kill Moves In Anim (18 items)

• 

  (#2) Scar

  • Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Fullmetal Alchemist

  Alchemy involves both destruction and creation, but sometimes all that's needed is the destruction part. While all alchemists take things apart at the molecular level, Scar has been shown using this blunt-force method in combat on multiple occasions. Most memorably, he blasted Shou Tucker to bits after finding out what he did to Nina and the family dog. In the 2003 version, he does the same thing to Nina out of mercy, but in the 2009 version he eliminates her using milder means.

  (#16) Yoshikage Kira

  • JoJo's Bizarre Adventure

  Light Yagami isn't the only Kira on this list to have a dangerous one-shot move. Yoshikage Kira and his Stand Killer Queen. This Stand is able to transform just about anything or anyone in existence into a bomb, causing it to not just detonate but completely disappear. Its special move, Killer Queen Bites the Dust, lets the feline Stand send a miniature version of itself into the eye of a chosen target, blowing them up and eliminating them instantly. Not the more useful move for Kira's quest to collect women's severed hands, but it sure does help him avoid getting caught.

  (#11) Kenshiro

  • Fist of the North Star, Fist of the North Star, Fist of the North Star 1: Legend of Raoh - Death for Love

  Hokuto Shinken is a dangerous style of Chinese martial arts that the protagonists of Fist of the North Star hope to master. It contains a variety of moves that will instantly annihilate anyone unfortunate enough to be on the wrong side of them. For example, using Kaikotsu Ken will cause a person's skeleton to literally explode out of their body with a single poke to the forehead. Kōshu Hatō Ken can split a person's body clean in two with just one kick to the head. Rekka Gyakuryu Ken causes the victim's throat to close up, making them suffocate before ultimately exploding.

  You do not want to fight Kenshiro or anyone else who knows Hokuto Shinken, because unless you're another wildly powerful anime character, your skeleton will abandon you forever.

  (#1) Saitama

  No list about anime 1-hit KOs is complete without a nod to Saitama, a characters whose defining feature is his ability to destroy his opponents with a single punch. While lighter punches will only result in unconsciousness and therefore a win for Saitama, his Serious Punch is just about the most dangerous thing you could possibly encounter. In fact, we don't even know what happens when someone is actually hit by it - Boros was taken out via its shock waves alone. That's some serious power!
• 

  (#8) Decay - 'My Hero Academia'

  Tomura Shigaraki's quirk, Decay, is straight forward but terrifying. Anything that he touches with all five fingers will immediately start to disintegrate. This applies to both organic and inorganic material, so even the most powerful armor will only delay the process. The disintegration will spread throughout the body or object unless the affected parts are removed, so even a light touch on the arm could destroy a person's entire body. Eventually, Shigaraki even becomes capable of activating his quirk without the use of all five fingers, making him all the more destruction. 
• 

  (#13) Respira - 'Bleach'

  Respira, also known as the "Breath of Death," is an appropriate name for this powerful technique. Baraggan Louisenbairn uses this power while in his Resurrección, Arrogante. Respira is a smoke-like miasma that can instantly age and rot anything in its way. The only way to stop it from consuming your entire body and killing you is to immediately amputate the afflicted area. If you're not quick enough, it's an instant death.
