History PersonOfMassDestruction / AnimeAndManga

** After becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, [[spoiler: Obito Uchiha was powerful enough to defeat a majority of the Allied Shinobi Forces and even the reanimated Hokage. He even creates a weapon in the form of a double helix shape sword, that was stated to be able to destroy and reshape the planet.]]
** The Sage of the Six Paths/[[spoiler:Hagoromo Otsutsuki and his brother]] took on the Ten-Tails and literally made the ''moon'' when he was on his deathbed.
** [[spoiler:Princess Kaguya was the strongest person to have ever lived, and proves it by moving Team 7 to an ''entirely different dimension'' with ease. Even with Naruto and Sasuke (and temporarily, Kakashi) having reached Person of Mass Destruction status in their own right, the only reason they have a chance at all is that [[UnskilledButStrong Kaguya never bothered to learn even the most rudimentary fighting abilities]], since in the past she'd always overwhelmed her enemies with sheer power. Presumably this is the same reason her sons were able to [[SealedEvilInACan seal her away]] in the past.]]

** [[BadassLongcoat Kakuzu]] can use wind, fire and lightning elemental techniques that dwarf a forest ''casually''.
** Deidara as well, seeing as he can create pseudo-atomic bombs whenever he feels like it. He can also turn himself into a bomb and explode, although [[TakingYouWithMe obviously he can only do it once]]. [[spoiler:And later after [[OhCrap he's brought back to life]] as an immortal zombie, same as most of the rest of Akatsuki. He's outright stated that he can go nuclear repeatedly, as the resurrection technique allows himself to reform. Person of mass destruction INDEED.]]
** Pain manages to catapult himself up to ''Manga/DragonBallZ'' levels of destruction with ease. Not only does he [[spoiler:control 6 different bodies at the same time, each of whom have impressive destructive powers]], but he also [[spoiler:''completely and utterly annihilates'' the village of Konoha with a single attack that can be best described as a WaveMotionGun that uses ''gravity'' to crush the entire town.]] And he can also use a sphere of '''condensed gravitational energy''' to rip off entire chunks of the earth's surface to form a mini moon.

** Konan's most powerful technique [[spoiler:uses ''600 billion'' explosives.]] She uses it [[spoiler:in a failed attempt]] to ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill kill a single person.]]''

** Naruto and his fellow jinchuuriki all have very nasty [[SealedEvilInACan demons sealed inside]] of them. [[SuperpoweredEvilSide It is a bad idea]] to piss them off. But of course, they get the BullyingADragon treatment. When those demons are released, they can fire {{Wave Motion Gun}}s powerful enough to function as FantasticNuke.

** The Sage of the Six Paths/[[spoiler:Hagoromo Otsutsuki and his brother]] took on the [[EldritchAbomination Ten-Tails]] and literally made the ''moon'' when he was on his deathbed.

** The Stern Ritters are extraordinarily powerful individuals, capable of curb-stomping even captains without having to stretch themselves into using the full might of their own power. As Quincies, they've been at war with the Shinigami for a thousand years, but have become particularly aggressive since the Shinigami instigated ThePurge against them 200 years ago. [[spoiler: In less than ten minutes, 16 Stern Ritters cause just under 3,000 casualties in the 6,000 strong Gotei 13, steal five bankais, obliterate Seireitei, and lose only five Stern Ritter in the process.]]
** Yhwach, leader of the Vandenreich, is the Quincy equivalent of Yamamoto. The Shinigami[=/=]Quincy war appears to have begun with a conflict between Yhwach and Yamamoto and escalated. Yhwach is far beyond the power level of even his Stern Ritters. [[spoiler: When he and Yamamoto clash a thousand years after their grudge first began, Yhwach steals Yamamoto's bankai and [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill obliterates]] him, meaning that not only does Yhwach have his own power, [[OhCrap he now has Yamamoto's power, too.]]]]
** Thanks to his very colorful heritage, Ichigo is much more powerful than most characters in this manga and the factions in the story work constantly to either use him on their side or neutralize him. His power has been vulnerable to his resolve in the past, lampshaded late in the manga when he irritably observes to an enemy that he's getting fed up of villains thinking that the way to defeat him is by shaking his resolve. [[spoiler: It's revealed in the final arc, his own power has been working against him, too: what he thought was his Shinigami power was actually his Quincy power suppressing his Shinigami power and only allowing the Shinigami to manifest in drips. In other words, he's much more powerful than even previous arcs depicted him as.]]

** Every member of the Sins team qualifies, though it's best exemplified when [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk-5yQcHfrc Ban and Meliodas reunite]] and [[spoiler: ''unwittingly destroy [[TheAlcatraz an indestructible prison]]'' through the sheer force of their greeting]].

* The [[PsychicPowers protagonist]] and [[SuperpowerLottery namesake]] of ''Manga/MobPsycho100'', in his [[SuperpoweredEvilSide ???%]] incarnation. ???% can generate psychic approximations of natural disasters [[spoiler: that level much of the surrounding area, leading public officials to call for evacuations ''and'' government intervention]] while ''simply walking'' through a city. Mob himself is powerful enough to qualify if carrying sufficient emotional charge, but he lacks the destructive impulse common to other characters on this page. ???% has [[TheUnfettered no such qualms]].

** And Nanoha herself is not called [[FanNickname White Devil]] without reason. In doujinshi, especially, she ([[ArtifactOfDoom or her device]]) is very prone to unleashing destruction anywhere, anytime.

** Most of the [[FanNickname Nerima Wrecking Crew]] qualify as well, who have been responsible for excessive destruction to the city.

* In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureVentoAureo'', Cioccolata, MadDoctor and PsychoForHire for [[TheMafia Passione]], has the Stand Green Day which releases a flesh-eating mold on an infinite radius. While pursuing the heroes, he goes on a cataclysmic killing spree, literally massacring everyone on sight while planning to reduce Rome to a smoldering ruin.

** Almost any and all State Alchemists. [[ColonelBadass Roy Mustang]] [[PlayingWithFire burns down whole city blocks by snapping his fingers]]. [[SociopathicSoldier Solf J. Kimblee]] [[HavingABlast blows up neighborhoods by clapping his hands]]. [[LargeHam Alex Louis Armstrong]] [[DishingOutDirt rearranges the earth's crust by punching it]]. [[BadassMustache Basque Grand]] [[WalkingArmoury transmutes entire buildings into weapons]]. [[ShellShockedVeteran Isaac [=McDougal=]]] [[AnIcePerson nearly buried Central City in a glacial layer of ice]]. It's worth noting that the Ishvalan civil war -- which had been dragging on for seven years -- ended within months of Order #3066 going out. What was the order? To [[HumanWeapon weaponize]] and send in the State Alchemists.

** Zebra, of the Four Kings. With his MakesMeWannaShout powers and HairTriggerTemper, Zebra can and has caused mass destruction, even eating 26 species into extinction. In a region of monsters surrounding his HellHolePrison, Zebra is stated to be the most dangerous thing there. When word of his release from prison got out, several nations collapsed from the MassOhCrap.

** Shalltear and Aura reduce a mole-man population from 800,000 to 10,000 in mere seconds, for the sole crime of ''not submitting fast enough'', when they had no idea who Ainz was.

** Any one of the [[DragonsAreDivine True Dragons]] qualify as this. Any one of them could wipe out the planet if they were sufficiently motivated. Veldora can destroy whole cities simply by releasing his magic power, and he had a habit of destroying nations simply to "blow off steam" before he got sealed away and others taught him restraint. Velgrynd can launch attacks capable of destroying asteroids with little effort, and a single attack from her punched through 50 of the 100 floors of Ramiris' [[DomainHolder Labyrinth]], which is technically located in a sub-dimension and heavily warded against attacks to the point a million-strong army couldn't conquer it. Velzard can keep the entirety of the northern continent in an EndlessWinter simply with the ''passive'' release of her aura, and she's manhandled Veldora and Velgrynd countless times and equaled Guy Crimson in battle. UpToEleven with Stellar Dragon King Veldanava, who as TheMaker of the ''multiverse'' could have destroyed it just as well at his full power.

* The [[PsychicPowers protagonist]] and [[SuperpowerLottery namesake]] of ''Manga/MobPsycho100'', in his [[SuperpoweredEvilSide ???%]] incarnation. ???% can [[spoiler:generate landslides, earthquakes, explosions and an F3 tornado that level much of Mob's hometown]] while ''casually strolling through it.'' Mob himself is powerful enough to qualify if carrying sufficient emotional charge, but he lacks the destructive impulse common to other characters on this page.
** [[BigBad Honorable mention]] goes to [[SuperpowerLottery Tōichirō]] [[PsychopathicManchild Suzuki]], who[[SuperEmpowering shares his psychic power with hundreds of lackeys, enabling them to decimate a city on his behalf]] with intent to TakeOverTheWorld. He would have succeeded [[spoiler: had Mob not intervened.]]

** Any one of the [[DragonsAreDivine True Dragons]] qualify as this. Any one of them could wipe out the planet if they were sufficiently motivated. Veldora in particular can destroy whole cities simply by releasing his magic power, and he had a habit of destroying nations simply to "blow off steam" before he got sealed away and others taught him restraint. UpToEleven with Stellar Dragon King Veldanava, who as TheMaker of the ''multiverse'' could have destroyed it just as well at his full power.

** The Progenitor/Primordial Demons are the seven strongest and oldest demons in the world, capable of destroying nations on their lonesome if motivated. Guy Crimson is the Red Primordial and only rivaled by the Black Primordial Diablo for the title of strongest, and even the "lesser" Primordials like Carrera could do things like fire off ''[[FantasticNuke nuclear magic]]'' out of boredom.

** Guy Crimson and Milim Nava reduced part of the continent to a barren desert during an ancient battle lasting a week. And that was the ''best-case'' scenario, as if Guy hadn't fought her, Milim in the midst of very ''literal'' UnstoppableRage would have razed the whole planet of life.

** The [[DraconicAbomination Chaos Dragon]] (basically an undead dragon with the potential to become a True Dragon) explicitly would have destroyed the whole world had Milim Nava not fought it and sealed it away.

** Upon fusing with Goku Black -- [[spoiler:who is essentially his body-swapped future/alternate timeline self]] -- Zamasu could be considered one of these. Although he lost his immortality by doing so, his sheer power in one-on-one combat was potentially frightening. As well as besting Goku, Vegeta, ''Vegito'' and Trunks (that is, before any of them received outside help), he was still quite the threat even when he was on the ropes. [[spoiler: With his whole body destabilising due to Trunks' ''Spirit Sword'', Zamasu's last-ditch attack was to consume the (future) Earth's atmosphere and rain a civilisation-destroying airstrike on the entire planet. A barrier from the Supreme Kais was all that stopped the heroes from being flattened.]] ''Literally everything else on Earth'' - buildings, people and all - was destroyed. In the end, Goku called in Zen'O and had him [[spoiler: ''destroy the timeline'' so that he, Vegeta, Trunks and the rest could use the distraction to ride the time machine back to the present before it collapsed]] and erased them from existence.

** Almost any and all State Alchemists. [[ColonelBadass Roy Mustang]] [[PlayingWithFire burns down whole city blocks by snapping his fingers]]. [[SociopathicSoldier Solf J. Kimblee]] [[HavingABlast blows up neighborhoods by clapping his hands]]. [[LargeHam Alex Louis Armstrong]] [[DishingOutDirt rearranges the earth's crust by punching it]].

* All the minus in ''Manga/MedakaBox'' certainly count [[spoiler:with the exception, apparently, of Shiranui]]: Kumagawa can revert everything to nothingness([[TheEndoftheWorldAsWeKnowIt including the FRIGGIN' WORLD]]), Shibuki can open long-gone scars (and that includes damage done to structures of buildings... [[FridgeHorror Just guess what happens when she goes to a recently rebuilt or reformed one and uses her power...]]), Mukae has the power to corrode things with her bare hands (even the air!) and she uses it to melt away an ''entire school building'', and last but not least, Gagamaru, who can move any kind of injuries he would suffer to another random person... Luckily, he was never hit by something like a falling plane or an explosion of some sort--at least, not that we know of.

*** A single Death Knight (summoned by Ainz) plows through a company of knights and then raises the dead as servants. Later on Ainz shows up with half a thousand of them as his personal bodyguard (not that he needed them- see "Massacre" above) and because that wasn't enough, they're also mounted on {{Hellish Horse}}s called Soul Eaters, three of which nearly wiped out a capital city.

* Mewtwo of ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'', despite not being human, is definitely a Person of Mass Destruction. This is made all the more apparent by the fact that in some translations his birthplace is listed as [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Mile Island]]. His power is so great the he was able to create an unnaturally huge hurricane that would've eventually wiped out all life on the planet aside from those on his island in the eye of the storm ''just by thinking about it and twirling his hand'', then dissipated the storm just as easily after his HeelFaceTurn. Note that he was in no way focusing his full power on the storm at any time, and in fact kept expanding it even while controlling hundreds of individual Poké Balls, taking on his ancestor Mew in a psychic battle (in which Mewtwo had the upper hand), completely dominating the mind of at least one human, ''and'' psychically suppressing the abilities of every other Pokemon on the island. Afterwards, he then telekinetically lifted every single person and Pokémon on the island--easily over a hundred individuals weighing several tons in total, and again without any noticeable strain--erased their memories of the entire thing, and teleported them--again, ''en masse''--to a port several miles away. It's a good thing he wanted to "prove himself" before his purge--had he been more efficient, he probably could have easily wiped out humanity in an afternoon at most.
** To further put this in perspective, a similar storm was generated in ''Anime/Pokemon2000'', but only after the three legendary birds had been fighting all-out for some time. Each of these three combatants, by the way, are implied to be so powerful that they are able to change the climate of wherever they are ''just by existing''--and Mewtwo equaled their combined power without even trying!

* Most S-ranked fighters from ''LightNovel/WorldBreakAriaOfCurseForAHolySwordsman'' are considered this. [[spoiler:Moroha Haimura also included, but as unofficial. However, his power is so immense that almost anything else his classmates in the Strikers unit do pales in comparison, such as against the fortress metaphysical in episode 6.]]
* ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'': The series makes it perfectly clear what happens when you combine InUniverse SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome with HardLight technology. Shown to great effect with Shun Kurosaki; once in episode 34 where he finishes the duel by carpet bombing the arena, and another in episode 75 where his finisher is a KillSat that not only takes out his opponent but also the stadium.

** The Sage of the Six Paths/[[spoiler: Hagoromo Otsutsuki and his brother]] took on the [[EldritchAbomination Ten-Tails]] and literally made the ''moon'' when he was on his deathbed.

* Mewtwo of the first ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' movie, despite not being human, is definitely a Person of Mass Destruction. This is made all the more apparent by the fact that in some translations his birthplace is listed as [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything Mile Island]]. His power is so great the he was able to create an unnaturally huge hurricane that would've eventually wiped out all life on the planet aside from those on his island in the eye of the storm ''just by thinking about it and twirling his hand'', then dissipated the storm just as easily after his HeelFaceTurn.

It's a good thing he wanted to "prove himself" before his purge--had he been more efficient, he probably could have easily wiped out humanity in an afternoon at most.
** To further put this in perspective, a similar storm was generated in the second movie, but only after the three legendary birds had been fighting all-out for some time. Each of these three combatants, by the way, are implied to be so powerful that they are able to change the climate of wherever they are ''just by existing''--and Mewtwo equaled their combined power without even trying!

* ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha''

* Several people in ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' qualify. Just about any powerful mage could probably take out a good chunk of a city with little trouble. ''Then'' you have the ''really'' strong guys, such as Jack Rakan (accidentally blew up a mountain), Fate (pretty much obliterate an entire city sector with the flick of his wrist), Evangeline (beat the crap out of Fate when they fought), and Nagi (who beat Evangeline with no trouble at all). But the most ridiculous example is Asuna; her AntiMagic [[spoiler:actually caused a FloatingContinent to crash, and nearly destroyed the entire Magic World. Even worse is the fact that she didn't intend to do that; other people are capable of harnessing that power.]]
** In-Universe, many people believe Queen Arika to be one of these, thinking she caused a FloatingContinent to crash. [[spoiler:She's actually taking the blame for Asuna]].
** [[spoiler:Chachamaru]] also counts now that's capable of summoning a KillSat that can take out an EldritchAbomination.
* The Otome of ''Anime/MaiOtome'' are thinly veiled analogs for [=WMDs=], complete with a "SOLT" conference based on the real world "SALT" (Strategic Arms Limitations Talks) and issues similar to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The main Otome also have the added danger of being volatile young women in the middle of a twisted LoveTriangle, so you ''know'' there's going to be trouble. One of the girls involved in that triangle ([[spoiler:Nina]]) snaps and ''literally'' tries to destroy the world in the last few episodes.

** Whitebeard is definitely an example of this. His [[spoiler:earthquake]] powers were once described as being enough to [[spoiler:destroy the world]]. [[spoiler: And then [[OhCrap Blackbeard causes a tsunami, make an entire]] ''[[OhCrap island]]'' [[OhCrap tilt on it's side,]] ''[[OhCrap splits it in half]]'', [[OhCrap and collapses one of the largest buildings in the world.]]]]
