Eh, he's not in the poll. I'd choose Naruto even if I don't like him, he just keeps leveling Up more and more.. Shadow clones x Razen Shurikens = Octa kill..

I don't understand why Gatts is voted as the most powerful character. He's the most badass one, but not the most powerful imo.

At a glance, I think Naruto is the most powerful.

nah, berserked Gatts definitely kicks all those kids' asses

I agree with this, who knows how strong guts will become.

The Goku option is missing and he is the strongest manga character there even was.
Very few fictional characters as Superman or actual deities can beat him so i will have to go with Naruto and Luffy as the runner up.

How the hell is Guts supposed to stand a chance against half of the characters in the running? Femto sure, but he? Present day Guts lost against a named women (admittedly a goddess) without even being able to touch her. He also only survived half the battles through teamwork and even went into a month long waking coma due to his wounds.
Which manga are you all reading? The runner up Lucy can further be taken out with a strong enough sniper rifle so i have to truly question the results of the poll.
