10. Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

Kirby Right Back at Ya

Now, this anime might be a letdown for people who are expecting a human main character and something a little less childish looking. But, when it comes to the MC stealing the powers and abilities of others, this anime fits the bill.

Kirby is a ball shaped, pink being that is far more powerful than what he looks like.

The plot of the anime is pretty simple. Kirby, who was traveling through outer space, ends up crashing into an unknown planet. He gets to know the people of the Cappy town and becomes friends with them.

However, the folks at the Nightmare Enterprise send evil minions to destroy the town, so Kirby defends them.

5. Guilty Crown

Guilty Crown - anime where the mc can steal powers

Every person has a void, which could be referred to as the metaphysical heart. Or, in simple words, a person has a soul. The main character of Guilty Crown has the ability to draw out the void of a person and convert it into an object.

Each void differs from the other, as no two people are the same. Meaning, the result of manefisting a person’s void will differ from person to person.

Guilty Crown is an interesting anime where the MC is an ordinary guy who is in love with an idol. One day, the very same idol runs into him after being shot.

It turns out that she was a member of a rebel group that plans to overthrow the tyranny of the government.

The idol had stolen the “void genome” from the government, and it was shattered at the hands of our MC, which gave him the “power of the kings.

4. Charlotte

charlotte - anime where the MC is OP but hides it

Now, this is kind of a spoiler, but yeah, Charlotte is an anime where the MC can steal powers and abilities. But this is only revealed near the end of the series, from where the plot takes an interesting turn.

Charlotte is an anime that focuses on superpowers. Yuu, our MC, has the power to temporarily take over a subject’s mind. He uses it to cheat on an exam, but the female MC catches him.

After that, he is made to transfer to a school that is meant for kids with supernatural abilities. He is also forced to join a club of students who must prohibit other students from misusing their powers and transfer them to their school in order to protect them.

One thing leads to another, and the plot unfolds in a grand manner, which leads our MC to go on a mission to save the world.

3. Attack on Titan

attack on titan - steal powers

It is kind of unfair to add Attack on Titan to this list, but if you’ve watched the 3rd and 4th seasons of the show, you know it fits the requirements of this article perfectly.

Once again, this is a spoiler, but the main character of this anime has the ability to steal the powers of other titan-shifters.

Initially, we saw Eren, the MC, transform into a titan in order to kill other titans. Later on, we get to know there are other people who can transform into titans too.

The series gets darker and darker, but it is a great anime with an amazing plot. So I’m going to stop myself from spoiling this show any more than I already have.

2. So I’m a spider so what?

So I'm a spider, so what - underrated dungeon isekai anime

Number 2 on this list is an isekai anime where our MC is a spider who can eat monsters to steal their powers and abilities.

The main character is reincarnated in a fantasy world as a spider in a dungeon. As she just hatched from her eggs, she is the weakest being in the entire dungeon. She has to give her everything to avoid becoming breakfast for other monsters.

As the series goes on, she devours monsters one by one and gains their abilities. She ends up becoming the most overpowered character in the entire anime.

1. That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime

Anime with overpowered main characters - that time i got reincarnated as a slime

That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime needs no introduction when we are talking about animes where the MC can steal powers.

After the main protagonist is reincarnated as a slime in another world, he quickly learns that he has the ability to eat anything and get its power, skills, and abilities.

He clears out an entire dungeon, starts an empire for monsters, becomes a demon lord, and overpowers everyone in his world.

This anime is a treat to watch for anybody who loves seeing a character grow from nothing to the most powerful person in the universe.
