00:00 Dragon Nova!
00:02 Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're looking at the most powerful female anime characters
00:23 Number 10, Merlin, the seven deadly sins. She may be the weakest sin in terms of physical strength
00:30 But when it comes to magical potential, the boar's sin of gluttony is pretty much unrivaled
00:36 Thanks to immense magical power and knowledge
00:43 Merlin's acquired quite a reputation as one of the greatest mages of all time
00:49 And if her mastery of the mystic arts wasn't enough Merlin is also gifted with the unique skill
00:56 Infinity which allows her to maintain even the most powerful spells for as long as she desires as well as amplify her
01:04 magical attacks
01:06 The fact that her true name alone is enough to send even the most dangerous demons running for the hills
01:16 Only further proves why she is a force to be reckoned with
01:20 Number 9, Arale Norimaki
01:30 Dr. Slump. Not even super saiyan gods can stop this adorable android when she goes all out
01:38 *Arale screams*
01:40 Designed to be the perfect android minus her short-sightedness
01:51 Arale's abilities come straight out of a gag manga
01:55 Allowing her to perform feats that defy reality and render even the most serious fighters
02:01 Powerless with a single punch she can split the earth in half
02:05 She can also circle the globe within seconds and even send fighters as strong as Vegeta
02:12 Flying to infinity and beyond with her signature Arale headbutts
02:17 Although she may be powerless against gods of destruction
02:25 Arale is still tough enough to fight super saiyan blue Goku to a draw. Talk about a pint-sized powerhouse
02:32 Number 8, Kurumi Tokisaki
02:39 Date Alive. An encounter with the wrong person turned this sweet little girl into the most dangerous spirit alive
02:54 Known for her insanely high kill counts
02:56 Kurumi's threat level is largely due to the power of her angel which lets her manipulate time
03:03 Overall Kurumi's powers have over a dozen applications
03:13 Which include creating temporal clones to escape from sticky situations
03:19 Speed up, slow down, reverse or freeze time as well as bestow herself with foresight
03:25 While such an OP power set does require Kurumi to sacrifice her life force
03:31 She can easily replenish the time lost by stealing it from others, which doesn't exactly help her reputation
03:38 Number 7, Beatrice
03:48 Rumineko when they cry
03:50 There's a reason why they call her the endless witch. As beautiful as she is powerful
03:55 Beatrice possesses an arsenal of magical skills that make her a force to be feared
04:01 These include the power of flight, teleportation, healing, time-stopping, barrier creation
04:15 Gravity manipulation and summoning magical servants or destructive magical constructs
04:21 But her biggest flex is that she can control life and death as easily as breathing
04:39 A feat she uses frequently when playing with human lives
04:43 With a reputation that makes her feared across heaven and hell
04:47 Beatrice is not one to mess with and woe to any who tries to deny her existence
04:53 Number 6, Tiamat
05:01 Fate/Brand order absolute demonic fronts
05:05 Melonia as a primordial deity whose existence far exceeds humanity
05:10 Tiamat is as dangerous as they come to both mortals and deities alike
05:16 As one of the seven beast class servants capable of throwing the natural human order into chaos
05:29 Tiamat is a force of nature that seeks to wipe out mankind
05:34 Along with being virtually impervious to harm
05:37 Tiamat can also withstand attacks from divine beings
05:41 Transform into a giant monster as well as erect a powerful bounded field
05:47 That negates the noble phantasms of servants generated from the history of mankind
05:59 The fact that the king of heroes himself was forced to intervene and use his strongest treasure to stop Tiamat
06:07 Is one of the many reasons that justifies her spot on this list
06:11 Number 5, Madoka
06:21 Madoka Magica in this universe becoming a magical girl may give Kaname and her friends
06:27 Incredible power, but it also comes with a terrifying cost
06:32 In exchange for a wish the mysterious entity Kyubey
06:36 Grants Madoka and her friends the power to fight against corrupted beings known as witches
06:42 However, should they fall into despair
06:51 They'll transform into the very things they fight against
06:55 After discovering the truth in one particular timeline
06:58 Madoka makes her wish and becomes a magical girl
07:02 With the intent of erasing all witches past present and future
07:06 In doing so Madoka becomes a godlike being
07:10 And succeeds not only in erasing all witches
07:13 But also creates a new reality in the process
07:17 Even I...
07:19 Don't need to despair anymore!
07:22 Number 4, Altair
07:34 Re-Creators
07:35 With the infinite power of human imagination
07:38 Altair could potentially destroy the world
07:41 Originally a fictional character
07:43 Altair's desire for revenge following the demise of her creator
07:47 Gave her the strength to break the barriers between fiction and reality
07:52 And wreak havoc on the real world
07:54 Things only get more dire after it's discovered that Altair draws on the power
08:05 Of all fanfiction and media content related to her to develop new abilities
08:12 Her arsenal of powers includes rewriting reality
08:15 Rewriting the history of other characters
08:18 As well as manipulating the laws of cause and effect
08:22 With so many OP powers at her disposal
08:30 Altair's ability to grow and evolve is virtually limitless
08:35 (Screaming)
08:39 (Speaking Japanese)
08:41 Number 3, Haruhi Suzumiya
08:47 The melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
08:49 It is best to stay on this high schooler's good side
08:53 Unless of course you want her to destroy the universe
08:56 And no, that is not an exaggeration
09:01 (Speaking Japanese)
09:06 Obsessed with discovering the paranormal such as aliens and espers
09:16 Haruhi often drags her classmates and fellow members of the SOS Brigade along for the ride
09:22 It's thanks to these kinds of extraordinary activities that Haruhi entertains herself
09:28 Which is exactly what those aware of her true power want
09:32 In reality, Haruhi possesses the power to manipulate reality and even create alternate ones
09:38 What's even more shocking is that Haruhi is not aware of this power
09:55 Hence why keeping her entertained is vital
09:58 As it can mean the difference between erasure and survival
10:02 (Speaking Japanese)
10:09 Number 2, Haruka
10:11 Noin, to your other self
10:13 She may be just a kid
10:16 But for certain factions fighting a pan-dimensional war across different time spaces
10:21 Her power can literally change everything
10:25 (Speaking Japanese)
10:31 Also known as the Dragon Talk
10:34 Haruka is a powerful young girl
10:36 Whose unique gift allows her to warp reality on a multi-dimensional scale
10:41 These include the power to will anything or anyone in or out of existence
10:47 As well as create a new reality that conforms to her desired vision
10:52 (Speaking Japanese)
10:59 With so much potential for change hidden within her
11:02 It's only natural that the forces of Lacrima would want to use her to save their dimension from an even bigger threat
11:10 (Speaking Japanese)

11:32 Number 1, Lord of Nightmares
11:35 Slayers Next
11:37 When it comes to dealing with things beyond mortal understanding
11:40 Messing with the Lord of Nightmares ranks pretty high on that list
11:45 I am the Lord of Nightmares
11:47 Although she is the creator of the four worlds
11:50 She is largely unpredictable and some claim that she seeks to end her creations
11:56 And return everything to her true form, the Sea of Chaos
12:00 As both a creator and a destroyer
12:03 The Lord of Nightmares is all-knowing, all-powerful and impervious to all forms of harm
12:10 Additionally, the ultimate spells Ragnar Blade and Gigaslave draw on her massive power
12:17 You who so desperately seek destruction, as you wish, you shall be destroyed
12:23 What's more, if the latter is cast improperly
12:28 The caster will end up channeling the Lord of Nightmares herself through their body
12:33 Causing all hell to break loose
12:36 The chaos that forever exists within me has consumed her
12:41 Stop it!
