5 Anime Characters that Get Weaker as Time Goes on

In most anime, especially the shounen genre, usually the story that is carried has the concept of from zero to hero. 

The protagonists start the series with mediocre strength. 

However, as the series progressed, they continued to evolve and become stronger.

But of course not all anime characters go through such a tedious process. 

Like the five anime characters below, for example, they become weaker as the series progresses.

From characters who get seriously injured to characters who lose their greatest powers, here are five anime characters who get weaker as the series progresses.

1. All Might (My Hero Academia)

Previously, All Might was the number one hero known as the Symbol of Peace. 

All Might is one of the inheritors of One For All, a Quirk that can increase the user's physical strength. 

With this Quirk, there is no villain that All Might can't beat.

Since the series began, All Might is not in its prime. 

All Might's body is already very fragile and he can't use One For All for a long time.

And after his fight against All For One, All Might had already lost all his strength.

Now, All Might has retired from his job as a hero. 

All Might is now more focused on teaching at Yuei while keeping an eye on his successor, Izuku Midoriya.

2. Naruto Uzumaki (Boruto: Naruto Next Generations)

 

Naruto Uzumaki begins the series Boruto: Naruto Next Generations as the Seventh Hokage and the strongest ninja in the world. 

Thanks to the power of Kurama in his body, Naruto managed to defeat many powerful villains such as Kaguya Otsutsuki and Momoshiki Otsutsuki.

Unfortunately, Naruto's heyday is over. 

In his fight against Isshiki Otsutsuki, Naruto had to lose Kurama due to excessive use of chakra while using Baryon Mode. 

Even though Naruto still has Sage Mode, his strength has decreased drastically after Kurama's death.

3. Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

 

At first, Edward Elric was known as a very talented State Alchemist. Even though he is still very young, Ed's name is already well-known thanks to his extraordinary achievements. 

Thanks to his skill in using alchemy. 

Ed was even able to defeat the strongest Homunculus, namely Father.

However, after Father's defeat, Ed exchanged his Gate of Truth to restore the body of his younger brother, Alphonse Elric. 

That way, Ed can no longer use alchemy forever.

 4. Julius Novachrono (Black Clover)

Julius Novachrono is the Magic Emperor in the Clover Kingdom as well as the strongest character in the Black Clover series. 

Julius is a user of Time Magic, one of the rarest types of magic in the Black Clover world. 

As the name suggests, this magic allows Julius to manipulate time, thus making him nearly invincible

In order to save the Clover Kingdom, Julius allows himself to be stabbed by Patolli. 

Although Julius managed to survive the fatal attack, Julius had to return to his child form. 

Not only affecting his appearance, Julius was forced to lose most of his power

5. Sasuke Uchiha (Boruto: Naruto Next Generations)

Just like Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha is also introduced as the strongest ninja in the world in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations. 

After receiving the Rinnegan from Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Sasuke became the only ninja who could match Naruto's strength.

Unfortunately, Sasuke also had to lose his greatest strength. 

In his fight against Momoshiki, Sasuke had to lose his Rinnegan after Momoshiki took over Boruto's body and stabbed one of his eyes.

What happened to the five anime characters above is indeed very unfortunate, right? 

Although they are strong characters, they are forced to lose their greatest strengths as the story progresses. 

What do you think about the five characters above?
