Though these powers look cool in anime, they wouldn’t do fans any favors in the real world. There are some anime abilities considered so powerful that many fans want nothing more than to wield it. Such a desire is natural; they’re so visually and conceptually stunning that even characters in their respective series envy them. However, actually wielding many overpowered abilities would be completely useless in real life. Whether requiring extremely specific conditions to use properly or simply not translating well into the real world, many of anime’s strongest powers have too many conditions to actually weaponize effectively and in…
