10 Anime That Actually Get Power Levels Right
Feb 15, 2025
Power levels in anime aren't always a feature, but a byproduct of narrative choices and power scaling. Not all power systems or levels are created equal, however. Some anime over-complicate power levels to seem more complex and detailed than actually being a well-designed power system. A deep pond is better than a shallow ocean when dealing with power levels and showcasing them in the right way.
Nuance is often unnecessary when the end goal is to showcase a believable hierarchy of characters and their power levels. But, some anime take the extra step by implementing a logical and balanced way to understand power levels. By creating a power system which breaks down a character's power level through rank, ability, or magical power, power levels can become easily digestible for audiences to understand at a glance.
10 Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World Features Contracts and Witches Authority
Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World uses a complex and deep magic system to showcase a character's power level, but in a surprising way that is easy to understand. Primarily, the anime features magical contracts and different authorities that act as passive skills for characters to use. The main character, Subaru Natsuki, has the authority of Return by Death, a passive ability that transports him back in time after he dies.
