Random Anime Characters With Unconventional Abilities That We Lo (15 items)

  (#13) Anri Sonohara

  • Durarara!!

  While she appears to be an ordinary high school girl, Anri Sonohara possesses a highly unusual weapon called Saika. Saika is a cursed sword that possesses people by cutting them. When cut, the victims feel absolutely terrified, and Saika controls them through that fear. Saika is the original 'mother' sword, which makes Anri the 'mother. Anri can call on Saika's 'children' to do her bidding at any time. They'll also intervene if they think that their 'mother' will be particularly upset by an event, without Anri having to act. This happens when her friend Kida Masaomi is about to be taken out by a gang member who just betrayed him: Anri's 'children' are present, so even though she isn't there to help Kida, they act in her stead.

  Oh, we should also mention that she can pull the blade out of her arm - she's not carrying it around on her hip or anything.

  (#1) Tamaki Amajiki - 'My Hero Academia'

  Tamaki Amajiki's quirk, Manifest, is the most literal possible interpretation of 'you are what you eat.' He's able to physically manifest anything he eats in his body. This can mean sprouting wings when he eats chicken, tentacles when he eats takoyaki, hard clamshells when he eats clams, and so on. This ability requires him to plan his diet carefully before a fight, and also to carry snacks on hand. So while it might seem flashy and strange, it actually requires some serious strategic thinking to make it work.

  (#9) Accelerator

  • To Aru Majutsu no Index, To Aru Majutsu no Index

  There are a lot of strong contenders for the coolest unconventional power in A Certain Magical Index, but we have to give it up for Accelerator. He can control vectors (magnitude and direction). This allows him to do things like reverse the course of bullets heading towards him, making it incredibly difficult for anybody to attack him barring special circumstances. Besides defense, his vector control lets him do things like cause earthquakes, generate plasma, and control another person's blood in their veins. 

  Unfortunately for Accelerator, some of these things happen passively. That's why he's so pale - he's never been exposed to ultraviolet rays because they're automatically deflected away from him.

  (#2) Knuckle Bine - 'A.P.R.'

  Knuckle Bine looks like an old school anime gang leader, which makes his Nen ability, A.P.R. all the more delightfully unexpected. Using A.P.R., Knuckle lends his opponent his aura and attaches an adorable mascot to them that can't be removed. The mascot adds 10% interest every ten seconds. Once the amount exceeds the aura that the target has left, they go 'bankrupt' and A.P.R. transforms into I.R.S, a different mascot that prevents the target from using any Nen at all for a month. Who would have thought that finances would be such a great inspiration source for a Nen ability?

  (#8) Sarge - 'Food Wars!'

  All of the supernatural powers in Food Wars are somehow related to food preparation. This is an uncommon genre of ability, which is part of what makes it so cool. While many of the characters have powers that are worth mentioning, we'll zero in on Sarge, a member of Les Cuisiniers Noirs, and one of Asahi Saiba's subordinates. She's known for cooking with highly dangerous weapons like explosives, chainsaws, and sledgehammers. She somehow manages to perform cooking maneuvers that should require delicate tools with blunt weapons meant for pure destruction. While she ultimately loses against Yukihira Soma in the BLUE competition, that Cluster Bomb Cake sounds like something worth trying.

  (#7) Bruno Bucciarati - 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'

  JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is known for having some of the weirdest powers in the world of anime, which means that there are plenty that deserve to be on this list that don't get the spotlight this time. For now, we're going to focus on Bruno Bucciarati's Stand, Sticky Fingers. Contrary to what the name implies, Sticky Fingers isn't about shoplifting - it lets him create a zipper on any solid surface - the human body included. He can use it for a wide range of purposes, including cutting a person into chunks by unzipping them, creating a blade out of zippers, create hiding places for any person or thing that needs safekeeping, and more. 

  Besides the zippers, Bucciarati can also determine whether or not someone is lying by the taste of their sweat. We're not sure if that one is cool or just weird, but hey, at least he's multi-talented.
