Most action anime have an MC with a lot of rare powers. Some have the ability to time-travel, others can get reincarnated into a creature, while many others can play and manipulate earthly elements. Oh, wait, not only earthly but out-of-the-universe elements. 

We all love anime where MC has diversity in his powers, right? Which anime comes to your mind when you think about the word “rare powers”? For me, it’s Black Clover and many more. Anyways, if you’re looking for an anime where MC has a rare power, you’re at the right place. So, here’s a list of 17+ Anime Where MC Has A Rare Power! 

 

ANIME WHERE THE MAIN CHARACTER HAS A UNIQUE ABILITY

 

18. Misfit of the Demon King Academy

Being overpowered and reincarnated into a world which he left purposefully, our MC, Anos Voldigoad had a bunch of rare powers. Not only did he have rare powers but he was simply OVERPOWERED and unbeatable! Imagine destroying the whole piece of land and demobilizing it! That’s exactly what Anos Voldigoad was capable of. These are such powers that are quite rare to find in an anime, right? 

This light-hearted rom-com series revolves around our OP MC, Anos Voldigoad who gets looked down upon by others. He gets reincarnated into another world where he has to prove his strength by going through certain tournaments and intense fights! The plot, rarity of his powers, and action of the anime are amazing! If you haven’t watched Misfit of the demon King Academy, you definitely should! 

 

17. To Your Eternity

Now if you want to get teared up, just watch “To Your Eternity”. This soft anime made everyone cry a lot. Like, A LOT! When it comes to emotion-based anime, To Your Eternity has to be on the top of the list. Anyways, let’s talk about the rarity of Fushi’s (MC’s) power! So firstly, this soft-looking guy can turn into a wolf! That’s right. He is also known to be immortal. Isn’t that interesting? Because we don’t see many immortal anime characters nowadays. 

The plot of this anime revolves around a guy named Fushi who’s quite lonely until he meets a wolf in the region of North America. Not actually any region but in the Arctic Region. These two become friends and go on an adventurous journey to make more friends and meet tragic incidents too! 

 

16. Maquia: When The Promised Flower Blooms

Just like To Your Eternity, this anime is quite emotional too! Maquia is a small girl with blonde hair who came as an underdog. She belongs to the unique race of lorphs. Maquia with her bravery, survived some of the most life-risking incidents and got herself a family. Then she realizes what it actually feels like to have a loving family. The main rare power our MC has is immortality. 

Honestly, watching an anime with family stories is always painful but in a good way. It kind of makes you realize the importance of family and I think it’s just beautiful. 

 

15. Charlotte

If you’re into a slice of life and supernatural, Charlotte is the best pick for you! If you could get control of one’s body, what would you do? Yuu, the protagonist, has the ability to gain control over others’ bodies. Isn’t that fascinating? I really think that this is a rare power. What about you guys? 

The plot of Charlotte revolves around a comet that passes earth after every 75 years. As this happens, the comet spreads dust all over the earth which causes a lot of problems for people living their everyday lives. Children who inhale the dust get weird superpowers. If you’re curious about this anime, make sure to watch it! 

 

14. Tokyo Ghoul

We all love some gore-ish anime sometimes, right? I know people with dark humor really like this anime. It’s a world where you would fear living in since it has blood-thirsty ghouls wandering in the streets. Their food is you, that’s all I’m trying to say. 

Kaneki Ken is the main protagonist whose organs were replaced by the ones of the ghoul. He didn’t become a regular ghoul, he became an OP ghoul. These powers made many other higher-level ghouls haunt him. Although he got these intense powers yet it wasn’t that easy for him. He had suffered a lot and got these ghoul powers in the end.

First of all, the MC, Shigeo Kageyama is OVERPOWERED! Just like other person he was quite weak at first. Then, he decided to join a body improvement club. He was pushed around most of the time in his life. Even though his physical abilities aren’t “that” good, his psychic abilities are on point! He has rare powers like telekinesis which enables him to control giant objects. And he can move these things with his mind. Like, how cool is that?

One day, he got whisked away to a fantasy game full of monsters. He got into this world when he was reading his book named “Four Heroes”. 

His main rare skill is his defensive skills. He’s called a hero for a reason. Naofumi is a witty guy who was weak at first but he stepped up his game and leveled up too! Imagine being transferred into a game! Would you settle in it or simply run away? See, our MC Naofumi Iwatani adjusted to a completely different world. He had guts indeed.

The story of Tokyo Revengres revolves around a weak and fragile guy named Takemichi. He has the rare ability to turn back time and fix his “mistakes”. Honestly, at first, I was like what the heck? The MC was super weak and got beaten up a lot which made me a bit frustrated. 

However, as the story proceeded we could see sudden improvement in Takemichi’s character and skills. Even though he got beaten up by big gangs and guys, he didn’t give up on anything. He just did his best to save whoever he could.

WHOA! Slow down! Whose name will you write if you ever get Death Note? I’d probably write the names of my old fellas. HAHA! Just kidding. Anyways, the story of Death Note revolves around the life of Light Yagami who comes across a note one day. Confused by the note, he finds out that he can kill anyone with that mysterious notebook. 

That mysterious notebook belonged to a shinigami named Ryuk. As long as the notebook is with Light Yagami, Ryuk stays with him. He was the one who granted him the permission to kill anyone he wanted with that notebook. That’s a cool superpower, right?

Re: Zero is loved by everyone all around the world. This anime is known for its horrendous journey. Subaru had a hard time ever since he opened his eyes into another world. This boy was killed again and agin. Can you imagine dying again and again? That would’ve been super painful for our MC. 

He has the rare ability to exist even after death. His main goal in the anime was to save his friends and he’s definitely one of the greatest main characters for sure.
