The 10 BEST Power Systems in Anime RANKED and EXPLAINED

[00:00] there are a lot of things to love about

[00:02] anime the characters the universes the

[00:04] fights but more and more nowadays it

[00:06] feels as though the thing that separates

[00:07] a good anime from a great anime is a

[00:10] fleshed out Inc comprehensive power

[00:12] system I mean think about it if somebody

[00:14] ever asks you what your favorite Shonen

[00:16] of all time is there's a fair to good

[00:18] chance that the Shonen that you do

[00:20] mention has a pretty intense and

[00:22] involved power system and that's not

[00:24] because Powers need to be complicated

[00:27] but rather because having a

[00:28] comprehensive flesh out and easy to

[00:31] understand power system builds out the

[00:33] world around the characters living in it

[00:35] if we with the existing knowledge that

[00:37] we have of the power system that we're

[00:38] engaging in in this universe are able to

[00:40] point at something that somebody is

[00:42] doing and explain how they're doing it

[00:44] exactly not only is that satisfying for

[00:46] the reader but also it means that we

[00:48] understand the universe we're engaging

[00:50] with fundamentally but not every anime

[00:53] got the news about this as some anime

[00:55] simply introduce powers and people with

[00:58] them and never necessarily Explain how

[01:00] they got them while some anime triy to

[01:01] introduce a complicated power system

[01:03] stick to their rules for a little bit

[01:04] and then forget what those rules were

[01:05] somewhere down the line and while

[01:07] technically neither of these scenarios

[01:09] make a bad anime per se I have a lot

[01:11] more respect for an anime or Manga world

[01:13] that's able to make a codex of rules

[01:15] about something that doesn't exist that

[01:16] people can understand and study like

[01:18] it's a college level course which is why

[01:20] today I want to talk to you about the

[01:22] greatest anime Power Systems in

[03:28] to step into the world of the greatest

[03:30] Sports Anime of all time so before we

[03:33] get to jumping into raing these Power

[03:34] Systems I want to talk about the

[03:35] criteria in which these Power Systems

[03:37] are going to be graded each of these

[03:39] Power Systems is going to be graded on

[03:40] three crucial points the first point is

[03:43] complexity how many layers is there to

[03:45] this power system do people just have

[03:47] powers because they're born with them

[03:48] can people awaken to the powers can they

[03:50] use different powers based off the

[03:51] personalities so on and so forth the

[03:53] second rule is Rule following after this

[03:56] universe establishes the rules of its

[03:58] power system do they stick to those

[04:00] rules and the third rule is going to be

[04:02] ease of understanding how good of a job

[04:04] does this universe do at explaining its

[04:06] own power system we're going to be

[04:08] ranking each of these Power Systems from

[04:09] 1 to 10 on those three criteria and

[04:11] their combined scores are going to add

[04:13] up to give us our ranking so I'm going

[04:14] to try to make this video as fair and as

[04:17] well calculated as possible you know in

[04:19] the most power system way possible it's

[04:22] also important to note here that even if

[04:24] a power system is towards the bottom of

[04:26] our list that doesn't mean it's a bad

[04:28] power system we're talking about the top

[04:30] 10 greatest Power Systems in anime while

[04:33] being the 10th greatest power system is

[04:34] definitely not as good as being the

[04:35] first greatest power system neither of

[04:37] those things are bad to put your

[04:39] pitchforks away now the reason I'm

[04:41] saying that right here and now is

[04:43] because coming in last place at number

[04:45] 10

[04:46] is cursed energy I know I know I'm sorry

[04:49] don't hit me but listen there was

[04:50] absolutely a time in my life when I

[04:52] believe the cursed energy had the

[04:53] capacity to be the greatest power system

[04:55] of all time and fundamentally for like a

[04:57] half to 2/3 of jjk it did have that

[05:00] potential in fact curs energy is one of

[05:03] two Power Systems on this list that got

[05:05] a 10 in complexity because cursed energy

[05:07] is wildly complex and hugely

[05:10] individualistic there is no set way that

[05:13] cursed energy is supposed to be used the

[05:15] zenian are able to summon shikigami Joo

[05:18] is able to boil entire cities Gojo can

[05:21] teleport with his blue push things away

[05:22] with his red combine them and make

[05:24] purple and vaporize entire mountains and

[05:26] almost all of this is built up on a

[05:29] robust

[05:30] complex and usually pretty well

[05:32] explained power system however

[05:34] unfortunately the closer the jjk got to

[05:36] its ending the less and less curs energy

[05:39] made sense whether it be Yugi's domain

[05:41] expansion never really being explained

[05:44] sua spamming binding vow after binding

[05:46] vow with really no consequences or

[05:49] techniques being used at the end of the

[05:51] story seeming way weaker than they were

[05:52] when they were used earlier in the story

[05:54] for reasons that didn't really make a

[05:55] whole lot of sense and unfortunately

[05:57] that was kind of the double-edged sword

[05:58] of cursed energy while it was wildly

[06:01] complex and built on this gorgeous well

[06:03] fleshed out power system unfortunately

[06:05] his time constraints and pressure

[06:06] started to push G down a lot of that

[06:09] complexity was thrown to the side for

[06:11] convenience and while in anime where the

[06:13] power system is not incredibly

[06:15] complicated like mha or chainsaw man

[06:17] those changes may not be as easily

[06:19] noticeable because after all they're

[06:21] just born with these abilities who's to

[06:22] say whether or not they can get stronger

[06:24] or weaker do whatever they're doing only

[06:26] have a complex college level power

[06:27] system that people spend hours studying

[06:30] when things start to not line up with

[06:31] what we know it feels lazy and because

[06:34] that in the rule following category

[06:36] cursed energy only gets a three out of

[06:38] 10 on top of that cursed energy is also

[06:40] tied for last in the ease of

[06:42] understanding category oh Nick what do

[06:44] you mean I understand cursed energy

[06:46] perfectly that's great I'm so happy for

[06:48] you take it for somebody who spent

[06:49] literal years making their job being

[06:52] explaining jjk and cursed energy the

[06:55] majority of people who read jjk needed

[06:57] videos like mine to understand what was

[06:59] going on people like me who would reread

[07:01] the chapters multiple times Google do

[07:04] research to explain things like haki's

[07:06] domain expansion kirara's curse

[07:08] technique how UT was able to switch into

[07:10] Gojo's body how he was able to maintain

[07:13] a bearer even after his body collapsed

[07:15] what was going on with yuji's domain

[07:16] expansion how he was able to use

[07:17] dismantle on the barrier between megamy

[07:19] and sua souls well yes of course you

[07:23] understood curs energy a lot of people

[07:25] didn't and that wasn't their fault

[07:27] because it wasn't that well EXP

[07:29] explained and when it was well explained

[07:31] a lot of the rules that were well

[07:32] explained eventually got broken and

[07:34] those who did understand the power

[07:35] system got frustrated with the power

[07:37] system by the end of the story because

[07:39] every rule they had Learned was being

[07:41] broken simply because sukeno was making

[07:43] a binding vow that he wouldn't eat ice

[07:44] creams on Tuesdays for all years that

[07:47] end in eight so cursed energy out of a

[07:49] possible score of 30 gets a 19 and our

[07:52] 10 spot coming up next in our nine spot

[07:55] is something that's going to be slightly

[07:56] controversial considering the fact that

[07:57] I just said cursed energy is our 10 spot

[08:00] but whatever it's currently barreling

[08:01] its way towards being a better manga

[08:03] than jjk so in the number nine spot we

[08:06] have devil powers from chainsaw man but

[08:08] the devil powers are so incredibly

[08:10] uncomplex how could you put that over

[08:11] the complexity of jjk well you're right

[08:14] in terms of complexity devil powers only

[08:16] get a three out of 10 devil powers are

[08:18] incredibly straightforward in the

[08:20] chainsaw man world you fall into four

[08:22] categories of power users you are either

[08:25] a hybrid like denji a fiend like power a

[08:28] human with contract like oie or a devil

[08:33] like I I don't want to say the fourth

[08:35] one like the Tomato de we'll go with the

[08:37] Tomato devil and that's established very

[08:39] early on in the story and it still

[08:41] hasn't fundamentally changed even now

[08:43] hybrids are the strongest because

[08:45] they're regeneration ability then goes

[08:46] regular devils and then goes fiends then

[08:48] goes humans with contracts if you want

[08:50] to contract with a powerful devil you

[08:52] have to give up a lot to that devil

[08:53] depending on what you're willing to give

[08:54] up to that devil you can summon them at

[08:56] an even greater strength like the

[08:57] difference between giving up a

[08:58] fingernail and and your heart is

[09:00] exponential in terms of devil strength

[09:02] fiends have a basic regeneration ability

[09:04] like hybrids but they're not immortal

[09:05] like hybrids and Devils when they die go

[09:07] to hell and if they die in hell they

[09:09] come back to earth Devils that look more

[09:11] like humans tend to be more sympathetic

[09:12] towards humans and that's basically

[09:15] everything so complexity in terms of

[09:16] power system is not necessarily chainsaw

[09:18] man's strength but that's not

[09:19] necessarily a bad thing if there's one

[09:21] category you can have a low score in I

[09:22] feel as though complexity is the best

[09:24] one to have there's nothing wrong with a

[09:26] non-c complex power system so long as

[09:28] it's done well and Chainsaw man's devil

[09:30] power power system is done pretty well

[09:32] from a rule following perspective I gave

[09:34] chainsaw man's devil power a seven out

[09:36] of 10 and the only real reason that

[09:38] Chains man is getting docked any points

[09:39] in this category is because there's a

[09:41] couple of unknowns that exist in the

[09:42] manga right now that may or may not

[09:44] break some rules like right now without

[09:46] any spoilers technically cloning is a

[09:49] possibility and we may be able to clone

[09:50] not only Devils but also humans now what

[09:52] would this mean if one of the Clones

[09:54] dies does that clone sentience go to

[09:56] hell if it's a devil or is this cloning

[09:58] ability a devil power on top of this

[10:00] there's been a couple of moments that

[10:01] have mucked up a couple of the rules

[10:02] that have been introduced like Primal

[10:04] Devils having ridiculous powers that may

[10:06] or may not have anything to do with the

[10:07] ideas that they're based off on top of

[10:09] this devils are created from very

[10:11] abstract ideations the blood devil is

[10:13] one of the highest ranking devils in all

[10:14] of Chainsaw man not because a ton of

[10:16] people are afraid of blood but more

[10:18] because in specific circumstances

[10:20] everybody is afraid of blood like I

[10:22] personally am not afraid of blood but if

[10:24] I was bleeding out I would be afraid of

[10:26] blood in that moment and thus Devils can

[10:28] either really be explained to be be as

[10:29] powerful as they need to be or as weak

[10:31] as they need to be but a seven in terms

[10:32] of rule following isn't all that bad

[10:34] it's just hard to say that the rules are

[10:36] being followed when the rules themselves

[10:37] are very vague in a very basic power

[10:40] system however in terms of ease of

[10:41] understanding chainsaw man gets a 10

[10:43] it'd be hard pressed to find anybody

[10:45] who's confused by the power system of

[10:46] Chainsaw man yes some moments in

[10:48] chainsaw man especially recently have

[10:49] been a little bit perplexing but

[10:51] fundamentally that doesn't have much to

[10:52] do with the power system so chainsaw man

[10:54] gets a 20 out of possible 30 up next at

[10:57] number eight we have to also known as

[10:59] the power system of Hell's Paradise now

[11:01] to those of you who are anime only for

[11:03] hell's Paradise to may not seem all that

[11:05] complicated it's kind of like

[11:08] chakra right

[11:10] now not at all outside of the fact that

[11:13] too in the hell's Paradise universe is a

[11:15] life force like chakra is life force in

[11:17] the Naruto Universe there are basically

[11:19] no similarities well that's not true to

[11:21] is also Elemental and certain elements

[11:23] are strong against other elements like

[11:25] they are in the Naruto Universe however

[11:27] that is where the similarities end see

[11:29] to is sneaky one of the most complex

[11:31] Power Systems in all of anime in fact in

[11:33] terms of complexity it's tied for second

[11:36] on this list with nine out of 10 points

[11:38] but why what makes TAA so incredibly

[11:41] complicated well the fundaments of taao

[11:42] are confusing to begin with see because

[11:44] well chakra is a life force that runs

[11:46] through everyone's body in the Naruto

[11:48] universe and Tao is much the same as

[11:51] it's the source of everything in the

[11:52] hell's Paradise Universe the control of

[11:54] Tao was actually much more complicated

[11:56] than the control of chakra yes they both

[11:59] have circulatory systems yes you can run

[12:01] out of both and that has a deadly effect

[12:03] but the fundament of taao is based in

[12:04] the concept of Yin yangang and the idea

[12:07] of following an ancient Buddhist

[12:08] ideology of following the middle way see

[12:11] Buddhism like a lot of other religions

[12:12] is not a religion that tells you to

[12:13] strip yourself from all worldly

[12:15] pleasures Buddhism instead preaches the

[12:17] idea of following the middle way don't

[12:20] live in excess but also don't strip

[12:22] yourself from everything you enjoy and

[12:24] thus to becomes its strongest in the

[12:25] hell's Paradise Universe when somebody

[12:27] is able to acknowledge the good and the

[12:30] bad of all of the things in their life

[12:32] when somebody is able to acknowledge the

[12:33] dark and the light Stillness and motion

[12:36] However unfortunately acknowledging the

[12:37] middle way is kind of different for

[12:39] every single person if you get angry

[12:42] without love also being in your heart

[12:44] your towel goes out of whack and these

[12:46] emotional spikes or physical

[12:47] acknowledgements from every single one

[12:49] of these characters who's trying to

[12:50] strengthen their towel can get a bit

[12:51] complicated sometimes and on top of that

[12:53] tow has five elements and each of those

[12:55] five elements strengthens another

[12:57] element and weakens another so you can

[12:58] use your to if you have the right

[13:00] Elemental mixing to strengthen somebody

[13:02] or sap all of their towel out of their

[13:04] body but there's also tow currents and

[13:05] flower tow that allows for regeneration

[13:07] and hybridization if flower towel gets

[13:09] into a human body and they're able to

[13:11] battle against the arbor ification you

[13:13] can sense with tow you can enhance your

[13:14] body with tow you can suppress your

[13:16] presence with to you can fire tow

[13:18] bullets you can make Elemental attacks

[13:19] like lightning you can heal people from

[13:21] a distance you can restore broken things

[13:23] you can Crush people using telekinesis

[13:26] you can make Illusions you can clone

[13:27] yourself you can do BAS basically

[13:29] whatever you want with Tao like Ninjutsu

[13:33] yeah Ninjutsu exists in the hell's

[13:35] Paradise universe and thus because

[13:36] basically anything is accomplishable

[13:38] with to it gets a nine out of 10 in

[13:40] terms of complexity however in the

[13:42] categorization of rule

[13:43] following it only gets a five see

[13:46] because well Tao is a wildly complex

[13:48] power system it's only really complex in

[13:50] what it can accomplish see because well

[13:52] Tao can accomplish basically anything

[13:53] you ever wanted to it's very rarely

[13:55] explained why in minute details why

[13:58] certain people are able to accomplish

[13:59] certain things with their towel why can

[14:01] ran clone herself using flower towel

[14:03] when other people can't how are some

[14:05] people able to create illusions with

[14:06] their towel when other people can't what

[14:08] aspect of to allows for psychokinesis

[14:10] and so on and so forth in the hell's

[14:12] Paradise Universe when things happen

[14:14] they're usually just explained as oh

[14:16] that's to and thus too in the hell's

[14:18] Paradise Universe kind of becomes a fix

[14:20] all you want something to happen well to

[14:22] can make it happen and because of that

[14:24] to's not that hard to understand but its

[14:26] complexity with lack of understanding

[14:28] can leave people scratching their heads

[14:30] so in terms of ease of understanding ta

[14:32] gets a seven out of 10 leaving it with a

[14:35] 21 out of 30 score up next after to we

[14:38] have one of the least complex Power

[14:39] Systems in all of modern day shown in

[14:41] because coming up at number seven we

[14:43] have quirks see quirks in the my hero

[14:45] Academia Universe are not complex you're

[14:47] either born of them or you're not the

[14:49] only complexity that gets injected into

[14:51] the my hero Academia Quirk system is all

[14:53] for one and one for all and thus just

[14:55] like with devil powers from chainsaw man

[14:57] quirks get a three out of 10 in in terms

[14:59] of complexity because well yes some

[15:01] complexity is injected through all for

[15:02] one and one for all the cork systems of

[15:04] mha doesn't have other complex throwin

[15:07] like hybrids fiends and Devils who can

[15:09] reincarnate between hell and Earth and

[15:12] fundamentally The Quirk system in mha

[15:13] even though non-complex is a really good

[15:16] power system 80% of the population are

[15:18] born with quirks those quirks can vary

[15:20] in terms of power depending on the

[15:22] quirks of your parents some people are

[15:23] heteromorphs some people aren't born

[15:24] with quirks and some people are born as

[15:26] living squeezy bottles however where mhh

[15:28] Rel shines is showing how people with

[15:30] relatively mundane quirks achieve Great

[15:32] Heights of power like Sarah with his

[15:34] tape arms a quirk that allows him to

[15:36] shoot tape out of his elbows effectively

[15:38] becoming mha Spider-Man and because the

[15:40] rules of The mha Quirk system are pretty

[15:42] straightforward mha does a really good

[15:44] job of following the rules that it sets

[15:46] for itself and thus in terms of rule

[15:48] following it gets a nine out of 10 now I

[15:50] would give the cork system make 10 out

[15:51] of 10 in terms of rule following but in

[15:53] a system where anybody can kind of do

[15:55] whatever they want because it's the

[15:56] ability that they're born with giving

[15:58] that system but 10 out of 10 in terms of

[16:00] rule following doesn't feel that genuine

[16:02] to me because what do you mean invisible

[16:04] girl can now redirect lasers through her

[16:06] body I have no leg to stand on to say

[16:08] that she can't do that because it's her

[16:10] superpower that she was born with but

[16:11] there's a lot of situations like that in

[16:13] mha where characters are born with an

[16:15] ability that we're told works one way

[16:17] then as that character trains and gets

[16:18] stronger their ability Works in a new

[16:20] more interesting more powerful way and

[16:23] there's really no way to dispute that

[16:24] because it's just who they are the best

[16:26] example of this is somebody like sun

[16:28] eater a character was introduced as

[16:29] being able to turn his hand into clams

[16:31] if he ate clam chowder who was

[16:33] eventually able to eat neer's energy and

[16:35] turn his arm into a gigantic energy rail

[16:37] gun I can't say he can't do that because

[16:40] there he is eating neer's energy but to

[16:42] give a universe that has that kind of

[16:43] leniency a 10 out of 10 in terms of rule

[16:45] following to me does it feel right but I

[16:47] will give mha a 10 out of 10 in terms of

[16:49] ease of understanding because yeah you

[16:51] can sit there and you can watch Sun

[16:53] eater eat neer's energy and go oh I

[16:55] guess he can eat energy now oh his arm's

[16:57] a cannon I guess that makes sense it's

[16:59] his Quirk after all I can watch

[17:00] Hiroshima bash himself into harder

[17:02] objects to make his body harder because

[17:04] yeah if you micr fracture bones they get

[17:06] harder and that's how his Quirk works I

[17:08] can now watch Momo be able to print an

[17:09] entire rail gun from her non-reserve of

[17:12] fat because yeah she made a bunch of

[17:14] Russian dolls earlier and even the

[17:16] complicated quirks in the mha universe

[17:18] like all for one and one for all are

[17:20] both just essentially stockpiling quirks

[17:22] yeah deu shigaraki and all for one all

[17:24] have multiple quirks that's why they're

[17:26] powerful cool got it thus CH Quirk

[17:29] system gets a 22 out of 30 up next after

[17:32] quirks in our number six spot we have

[17:34] pyrokinesis from fire force now

[17:36] pyrokinesis is a sneaky complex power

[17:39] system what seemed like originally to

[17:41] just be oh I have fire out of my hands

[17:43] oh I have fire out of my feet oh I have

[17:45] fire in a sword became really anything

[17:47] but that by the end of fire force but

[17:49] it's definitely not the most complex

[17:51] power system of all time and thus

[17:52] pyrokinesis is getting a 6 out of 10 in

[17:55] terms of complexity now this is Garner

[17:56] off the fact that there are multiple

[17:57] kinds of Power people in the fire force

[18:00] Universe there are second Generations

[18:02] like Maki who have the ability to

[18:03] control existing fires third Generations

[18:06] like Arthur and Shinra who have the

[18:08] ability to create their own fire and

[18:10] manipulate it there are hybrid second

[18:12] third Generations like Benny Maru who

[18:14] have the strength of flame control of

[18:15] second Generations but their own

[18:17] ignition ability but there is also

[18:19] fourth generation pyrokinetics like show

[18:21] and Shinra individuals who have awakened

[18:24] an adola burst by making an adola Lake

[18:26] by receiving an adola Grace from either

[18:28] the angelist or the woman in black and

[18:30] these four generations have pyrokinetic

[18:32] abilities that blow other pyrokinetic

[18:34] abilities out of the water whether it be

[18:36] freezing the entire universe to stop the

[18:38] movement of time or breaking their body

[18:39] down into subatomic particles so they

[18:41] can travel faster than the speed of

[18:42] light adola links in just the adola in

[18:44] general is what makes his power system a

[18:46] lot more complex than it seems at a

[18:48] surface level however on top of all of

[18:49] this Flames can be used in a myriad of

[18:51] ways in the fire force Universe they can

[18:53] be used to create plasma swords or to

[18:55] buff your abilities like aaki to create

[18:57] flame missiles or flame chain guns like

[19:00] takaro can be turned into electrical

[19:01] signals like with haa or even can be

[19:03] channeled through a buffing whistle that

[19:05] allows for ponco poot to buff someone's

[19:07] flame resistance hell Flames can even be

[19:09] channeled into the redirection of

[19:11] kinetic energy and thus will parakinesis

[19:13] is by far in away not the most complex

[19:15] power system on this list it definitely

[19:16] deserves its flowers however because

[19:18] these pyrro kinetic abilities can be

[19:20] channeled into pretty much anything the

[19:22] rule following category of fire force

[19:23] only gets an eight out of 10 because in

[19:25] a universe that did start off with only

[19:27] second generation and third generation

[19:29] pyrro kinetics who have the ability to

[19:31] either control Flame or create flame

[19:33] evolving into a universe where people

[19:34] can buff each other with whistles or

[19:35] turn their smoke into kunai doesn't

[19:37] necessarily align with the original

[19:39] power system as it was foretold but fire

[19:42] force does do a pretty good job of

[19:43] staying on track with the rules that it

[19:44] sets for itself and it also does a

[19:46] pretty good job of explaining basically

[19:48] anything that's happening at any point

[19:50] in the story even as The Story begins to

[19:52] involve the Evangelist and the adola and

[19:54] doppelgangers all of these events are

[19:55] tied into the power system of fire force

[19:58] really well and thus for an ease of

[20:00] understanding score fire force is going

[20:01] to get a 9 out of 10 giving it a 23 out

[20:05] of 30 up next after pyresis in our

[20:07] number five spot we have a spot that

[20:09] people probably aren't going to enjoy

[20:11] because coming up at number five we got

[20:14] Alchemy Alchemy is not that complex of a

[20:16] power system or at least it's not as

[20:18] complex as people want you to believe

[20:19] that it is however whenever you want to

[20:21] describe Alchemy to somebody you have to

[20:23] use some big words like the Law of

[20:24] Equivalent Exchange and thus everyone

[20:26] believes oh wow this must be a crazy

[20:28] complicated power system but it's really

[20:30] not yes the deeper you delve into

[20:32] Alchemy the more complicated it's going

[20:34] to see but fundamentally there's really

[20:36] only two rules in alchemy The Law of

[20:38] Equivalent Exchange which states that

[20:39] you can't make something out of nothing

[20:41] something has to be converted into

[20:42] something else and secondly the law of

[20:45] natural province which states that you

[20:46] can only turn something like this metal

[20:48] here into let's say a different kind of

[20:50] metal if it has the key ingredients that

[20:53] make up that other kind of metal I can't

[20:55] turn fudge into a hydrogen bomb because

[20:58] there isn't in the components to make a

[20:59] hydrogen bomb in fudge now yes there are

[21:02] different transmutation circles and yes

[21:04] in the 2003 anime there was things

[21:07] called transmutation arrays and Alchemy

[21:09] allows for the creation of things like

[21:11] homunculus and allows for you to bind

[21:13] human souls to suits of armor and the

[21:15] secret of the power of alchemy is that

[21:17] father is pumping his energy up into

[21:19] aestria well alcahest which comes from a

[21:22] different country Taps into the chi of

[21:23] the world which is why it's more often

[21:25] used in healing than deconstruction and

[21:27] reconstruction when it boils down to it

[21:29] Alchemy is a pretty simple power system

[21:32] you take something and if it's heavy

[21:33] enough and has a similar enough chemical

[21:34] compound to something else you can turn

[21:36] it into something else unless you have a

[21:37] philosopher stone in which case you can

[21:39] do really whatever you want and thus

[21:40] Alchemy from Full Metal Alchemists gets

[21:42] a six out of 10 in terms of complexity

[21:44] or Alchemy truly shines is the fact that

[21:46] it follows its own rules in fact

[21:48] following the rules of alchemy is

[21:50] literally the entire plot of fmab can't

[21:52] do human transmutation without a

[21:53] philosopher stone if you try to turn

[21:55] something into something that it can't

[21:56] turn into there's things like rebounds a

[21:58] transportation circle is necessary for

[22:00] Alchemy to be pulled off unless a part

[22:02] of you exists beyond the gate and

[22:04] alkahestry and Alchemy work differently

[22:05] because they feed off different energy

[22:07] sources different transmutation circles

[22:09] make different kinds of alchemy Ed has

[22:11] to clap his hands together because he

[22:12] has to come into contact with the part

[22:13] of him that's in the gate and by

[22:14] clapping his hands together he makes a

[22:16] circle Al also has to clap his hands

[22:18] together but only to make a circle and

[22:19] not to touch the part of him that's in

[22:20] the gate because the entirety of him

[22:21] exists behind the gate philosopher zones

[22:23] which seemingly have a limitless amount

[22:24] of power require literally hundreds of

[22:26] thousands of people to be sacrificed and

[22:28] so on and so forth fmab does a fantastic

[22:31] job at following its own rules and thus

[22:34] in rule following it gets a 10 out of 10

[22:36] any moment that something happens in

[22:38] fmab there is a solid and concrete

[22:40] answer to explain exactly why that thing

[22:42] happened from a power perspective

[22:44] However unfortunately in the ease of

[22:46] understanding category Alchemy only gets

[22:47] an eight out of 10 differences between

[22:49] the manga the 2003 anime and the 2009

[22:52] anime when it comes to things like how

[22:54] transmutation circles work if

[22:55] transmutation arrays work how scars

[22:57] tattoos work how human transmutation

[23:00] Works how the philosopher stone Works

[23:02] makes trying to consume all of the

[23:03] knowledge of this universe a bit tedious

[23:06] on top of that everything surrounding

[23:08] the truth and the gate can get a bit

[23:10] complicated so Alchemy gets an8 out of

[23:13] 10 in terms of ease of understanding

[23:15] giving it a final score of 24 out of 30

[23:19] now coming up for spots 4 through two we

[23:21] technically have a three-way tie every

[23:24] single one of these Power Systems got a

[23:25] 26 out of 30 however they all got

[23:28] different scores in different categories

[23:31] except for ease of understanding where

[23:32] they all got a 10 so technically two

[23:35] through four are all tied for seconds so

[23:37] there's no hierarchy here but we got to

[23:39] do one first so coming up at number four

[23:41] is hockey SL devil fruits now out of the

[23:44] three Power Systems that are tied for

[23:46] second one piece's power system got the

[23:48] lowest ranking in terms of complexity

[23:50] with a six out of 10 which would tie it

[23:52] with things like pyrokinesis and Alchemy

[23:55] in terms of complexity in the one piece

[23:56] world there's three types of devil

[23:58] fruits and and three types of hockey

[23:59] zoen Parthia and loia and ornament

[24:02] observation and conqueror's hockey every

[24:04] powered person in one piece falls under

[24:06] one of these six umbrellas hockey users

[24:09] like Shanks mihawk and Zoro use a

[24:11] combination of ornament observation and

[24:13] conqueror's hockey to either understand

[24:15] what somebody's going to do before they

[24:16] do it strengthen their body or their

[24:18] blades or knock out entire groups of

[24:20] less strong uses around them with

[24:22] conqueror's hockey Del fruit users fall

[24:24] under the three categories that we

[24:26] talked about earlier paramia loia zoan

[24:28] type paramia users are the most complex

[24:31] as the paramia devil fruit users really

[24:34] Encompass anybody who with a devil fruit

[24:35] ability that falls outside of the

[24:37] categorization of either loia or zoen

[24:39] basically gives them a superhuman

[24:40] ability that's not categorizable like

[24:42] the Hanahan Nomi or the flower flower

[24:44] fruit that Robin has that allows her to

[24:45] make clones of herself or grow her body

[24:47] parts elsewhere after paramia there's

[24:49] zoan type devil fruits that just allow

[24:51] you to turn into a different thing like

[24:53] Luffy's devilfruit which was originally

[24:54] thought to be a paramio type but is

[24:56] actually a mythical zoan type with the

[24:58] thing that Luffy is able to transform

[25:00] into being the sun god Na and last but

[25:03] not least the rarest type of devil fruit

[25:05] and widely thought to be the strongest

[25:07] kind of devil fruit is the loio type

[25:09] which allows you to turn your body into

[25:10] an element of nature be that smoke

[25:12] lightning light itself mud the only

[25:15] defense against these kinds of devil

[25:16] fruit users is hockey it's not a complex

[25:19] power system it exists in a complex

[25:21] universe but the power system itself is

[25:23] very very straightforward and thus in

[25:26] terms of complexity devil fruits and

[25:27] hockey get a 6 out of 10 however in both

[25:30] rule following and ease of understanding

[25:33] it gets a 10 there are so many times

[25:35] that Oda could have taken the lazy route

[25:37] and said oh well delvert users aren't

[25:40] weak to the ocean anymore because he

[25:41] wanted to do an arc where Luffy had to

[25:43] go swimming or something like that and

[25:44] even though Odo reads his own Wiki to

[25:46] remember what his story was about and

[25:48] what the rules of his Universe are he

[25:50] apparently reads it enough because there

[25:51] are very few moments in the one piece

[25:53] Universe where the power system of the

[25:55] universe and the battles that unfurled

[25:57] don't follow the rules that are

[25:58] established by Oda earlier on in fact

[26:00] pretty much the only time that we got

[26:02] anything that looked like even remotely

[26:03] like a curveball in terms of breaking

[26:05] the rules is when devil fruit Awakenings

[26:07] were introduced during dress Rosa but

[26:09] that was explained not only quickly but

[26:11] also well which is why one piece's power

[26:13] system also gets a 10 in terms of ease

[26:15] of understanding because anything that

[26:17] happens gets meticulously explained over

[26:19] the course of five episodes because they

[26:22] got to fill showtime and thus one piece

[26:24] of power system of hockey and devil

[26:25] fruits gets a 26 out of 30 and died with

[26:28] that 26 out of 30 at our number three

[26:30] spot is bleach's spiritual pressure

[26:33] power system a power system that is just

[26:35] a Tey bit more complicated than one

[26:38] pieces but doesn't do as good a job as

[26:40] following the rules as one pieces see

[26:42] bleach of power system is complicated

[26:45] not as complicated as a couple of other

[26:46] Power Systems but it's still pretty

[26:48] complicated but unfortunately a lot of

[26:49] the complication around bleach's power

[26:50] system just comes from the fact that

[26:52] it's in like four different languages

[26:55] Nick what do you mean well Quincy powers

[26:57] are in German nanar powers are in

[26:59] Spanish and shikami powers are in

[27:01] Japanese unless of course you're

[27:02] watching the dub and then some shikami

[27:04] powers are in English While others just

[27:07] stay in Japanese and that's when we're

[27:08] talking about Riu and ryoku which is

[27:10] just spiritual pressure and spiritual

[27:12] power and ashvin and SOS the power

[27:15] system can seem wildly intimidating but

[27:17] it's actually not all that complicated

[27:20] and it's also explained really well all

[27:22] power in the bleach Universe revolves

[27:23] around two things ryoku and RI that's

[27:26] like spiritual power and nature power

[27:29] shikigami and the arangar are powered by

[27:31] a ryoku and when they release that power

[27:33] that's Riu however quiny are able to

[27:35] absorb the energy of the atmosphere

[27:38] that's called RI and they're able to

[27:39] turn that energy into weapons like bows

[27:42] and swords now ryoko is kind of used for

[27:45] everything in the bleach Universe

[27:46] increasing your speed which is called

[27:47] hoo casting spells which are all

[27:50] referred to as keto spells but actually

[27:52] fall under three classifications bakodo

[27:54] which is a binding spell like barriers

[27:56] or seals h which are offensive spells

[27:59] and kaido which are healing spells on

[28:02] top of that roko is also used to

[28:03] increase somebody's strength and most

[28:05] importantly to use the special abilities

[28:07] of a shikigami sakoe and while it feels

[28:10] as though the iron car have their own

[28:12] entire set of powers they basically just

[28:14] use ryoku in the same way as shikigami

[28:17] but say it in Spanish whether it's

[28:18] firing compressed energy balls opening

[28:20] portals to travel between dimensions are

[28:22] using a resurrection which is basically

[28:24] their version of a bonkai but listen as

[28:26] I'm saying all of this out loud right

[28:27] now I'm I'm realizing that bleach's

[28:29] power system is a bit more complicated

[28:30] than I gave it credit for a couple of

[28:31] hours ago when I started this video

[28:33] especially because we've barely talked

[28:35] about the powers of the Quincy so in

[28:37] terms of complication I'm actually going

[28:39] to give bleach an eight but as I'm

[28:41] sitting here trying to use my German

[28:43] Spanish English and Japanese words to

[28:45] describe a power system I'm going to

[28:46] have to dock a point from that t of ease

[28:49] of understanding I said that this power

[28:50] system had it is well explained but it

[28:53] is not easy to understand but I was

[28:55] right in my assessment that it gets a

[28:57] nine in terms of rules following because

[28:59] bleach even though it is very

[29:00] complicated and it feels as though every

[29:01] new group of people has a different set

[29:03] of powers oh my God I forgot about the

[29:05] fullbringers There are rules set up for

[29:06] every individual group and they follow

[29:08] those rules religiously now

[29:10] unfortunately as genetic lines get

[29:12] crossed as Aon cars get quiny crosses

[29:15] and Ichigo collects all of the Infinity

[29:16] Stones of every race unfortunately

[29:18] sometimes the rules do get a bit blurry

[29:21] and considering the fact that spiritual

[29:22] energy a bit like to just seems to have

[29:24] the ability to do whatever you wanted to

[29:26] especially when you consider the

[29:27] individuality of a zonto and fonai

[29:29] release I just can't give bleach a 10 in

[29:31] terms of rules followed so by adding a

[29:33] point to complexity and taking a point

[29:35] away from ease of understanding bleach

[29:36] still sits at a 26 out of 30 which

[29:38] brings us to our last 26 on this list

[29:41] chakra which I believe to be one of the

[29:42] most complex deep and wellth thought out

[29:44] Power Systems in all of anime which is

[29:47] why I gave it a nine out of 10 in terms

[29:50] of complexity and yes does Naruto not

[29:52] have explanations of its powers in four

[29:54] different languages and every new group

[29:55] of people gets a new different type of

[29:57] ability no it doesn't but that doesn't

[29:59] mean that the power system of Naruto

[30:00] isn't incredibly complex there are

[30:02] multiple categorizations of different

[30:04] kinds of powers that somebody can

[30:05] allocate to get as strong as they want

[30:08] in the Naruto Universe in fact the

[30:09] Naruto universe is truly a picky own

[30:12] adventure whether you want to become a

[30:13] master of the five Elemental releases

[30:15] like hero in sarobi and use Fire release

[30:18] mud walls highpressure water jets

[30:20] lightning strikes and wind gusts to make

[30:22] yourself a threat on the battlefield or

[30:24] you want to focus on yin yang release

[30:26] and use a Yin based jutu like genjutsu

[30:29] or a Yang based Jutsu like the akamichi

[30:31] calorie control born with a dojutsu like

[30:33] the Byakugan the shangan or the renon

[30:35] you're granted access to entirely new

[30:37] Jus that nobody else has access to

[30:40] whether that be something like gentle

[30:41] fist where you strike at Chakra points

[30:42] to increase the chakra flow at that

[30:44] point or stop it entirely or the

[30:45] extrasensory perception of the Shing God

[30:47] that eventually turns into the MS that

[30:49] allows you things like amatarasu and

[30:50] suomi and Susana or the power of the

[30:53] renegon that allows for you to pull

[30:54] meteors from the sky and hurdle them in

[30:56] armies there's also senjutsu and

[30:58] multiple kinds of senjutsu be it frog or

[31:01] snake there's shinui who channel the

[31:03] power of the tailed beasts inside of

[31:05] them there's Kai Kota koraa and there's

[31:08] now things like shinjutsu the

[31:10] fundamental principal jutsus of the gods

[31:12] that have been watered down over

[31:13] generations to be used by humans but

[31:15] don't forget if you just want to toss

[31:17] hands there's always Tai Jutsu and

[31:18] things like the seven Heavenly breaths

[31:20] and the eight Gates there are 8 million

[31:23] ways to be incredibly powerful inside

[31:25] the Naruto universe and thus every

[31:27] single single person's powers are a

[31:29] reflection of who they are and thus in

[31:31] terms of complexity Naruto's power

[31:34] system gets a nine out of 10 but for

[31:38] rule following it gets a seven out of 10

[31:40] the lowest out of the big three who are

[31:42] all tied for second place here listen

[31:44] Naruto's complex power system is

[31:46] sometimes its biggest weakness events

[31:48] like her is in being able to seal away

[31:50] the soul of hashirama Toyama and half of

[31:52] Orochimaru at 70 years old don't make a

[31:54] whole lot of sense when you understand

[31:56] how Reaper death seal works the same

[31:57] could be for Mino being able to fight an

[31:59] entire battle against Obito and then go

[32:00] seal half of Kurama using Reaper death

[32:03] seal also understanding that Susan

[32:04] requires a usage of two MSI gets a bit

[32:06] complicated when we see MAA use susano

[32:08] with no eyes Sasuke being able to summon

[32:10] Garuda his Hawk summon to the lava

[32:12] Dimension proves that summoning

[32:13] contracts can work across Dimensions so

[32:16] hypothetically there was no real reason

[32:17] to gather all the Kate together to

[32:19] summon team seven back from K's

[32:21] Dimension as they could have been

[32:22] reverse summoned by any of the

[32:24] connections they had on Earth and thus

[32:26] unfortunately the more complex you make

[32:27] a power system and the more you make it

[32:29] understandable to those digesting it the

[32:31] more strict you have to be about the

[32:32] idea of following those rules and

[32:34] unfortunately Naruto slips up with that

[32:36] a lot more than the other two entries

[32:37] from The Big Three however in the ease

[32:39] of understanding category Naruto's power

[32:42] system is very easy to understand yes

[32:44] I've dedicated an entire career to

[32:46] explaining Naruto and yes I get

[32:47] questions about Naruto's power system

[32:49] every single day but Naruto does a quite

[32:52] literally industry-leading job at

[32:54] explaining its power system even though

[32:56] it's incredibly complicated Naro power

[32:58] system just like bleach and one pieces

[33:00] gets a 26 so Nick if all three of the

[33:04] big three Power Systems are tied for

[33:06] second place what's in first well I'm so

[33:09] happy you asked because it's the only

[33:12] perfect power system in all of anime and

[33:15] Mona and that would be at number one nen

[33:20] yeah I'm going to spoil it nen gets a

[33:22] perfect 30 then is by far and away one

[33:24] of the most complex anime Power Systems

[33:26] in existence not only is there six

[33:29] affinities that a n user can fall into

[33:31] those being enhancement transmutation

[33:33] conjuration specialization manipulation

[33:35] and amission but within the confines of

[33:37] those categorizations the possibilities

[33:39] are almost endless enhancement can mean

[33:41] you're turning your right jab into a

[33:42] punch so powerful that eventually it'll

[33:44] be compared to a small nuclear missile

[33:46] but it can also mean that you've

[33:47] enhanced your smell to the point where

[33:48] you can sniff out n users in a crowd a

[33:51] mission can be firing nen bullets from

[33:53] your fingers or creating a nen Dragon to

[33:55] ride on specialization can vary from

[33:57] being able to steal other people's

[33:58] techniques or predict the future in a

[34:00] poem and so on and so forth nen can help

[34:03] you accomplish anything and that's just

[34:06] within the categorization systems as

[34:08] there are also basic principles to nen

[34:10] that everybody has access to things like

[34:12] Ren ten Ken show goo and so much more on

[34:17] top of this battles that revolve around

[34:18] nen require a constant adjus of where

[34:21] your nen around your body is if you're

[34:23] trying to deliver a punch you deliver

[34:25] your nen to your fist but if you're

[34:26] trying to block a punch to your chest

[34:28] you try and put as much of your n there

[34:29] as possible to heighten your defenses on

[34:31] top of this if you're an enhancer you're

[34:33] not good at manipulation or conjuration

[34:35] abilities and you have an 80%

[34:36] Proficiency in emission and

[34:38] transmutation abilities on top of this

[34:40] the personality of somebody largely

[34:41] dictates what n category they'll fall

[34:44] into and when you start to introduce

[34:45] outliers from this system like nen

[34:47] beasts from the cocken Empire whose

[34:49] Powers revolve around using ancient

[34:51] cocken empire tools and the blood of the

[34:54] princes there's really nothing that you

[34:55] can accomplish in the hunter hunter

[34:57] Universe through net and there is no

[35:00] Universe more stringent about following

[35:02] the rules that it's laid down than the

[35:05] hunter hunter Universe there are no and

[35:07] I mean this no power related plot holes

[35:10] in Hunter Hunter everything has

[35:13] consequences every show of immense power

[35:15] comes with the trade-off and while sure

[35:17] Alica is able to Grant as many wishes as

[35:18] kiloa wants that's explained word for

[35:21] word and fact pretty much anytime a new

[35:23] and novel concept is introduced to

[35:25] Hunter Hunter we take Pages if not

[35:27] chapter to explain it and while many

[35:29] would say that that's a weakness of

[35:30] Hunter Hunter because Togashi is always

[35:32] overe explaining if you're actually

[35:33] reading what Togashi is saying

[35:36] understanding how the power system of

[35:37] nen works is very simple on top of this

[35:40] well nen has a binding vow esque

[35:42] restriction ability that allows you to

[35:44] make deals with yourselves or others or

[35:46] just take risks to make your abilities

[35:48] more powerful Togashi never cheapens nen

[35:50] power and training by simply making

[35:52] somebody ridiculously powerful and

[35:54] unkillable without any consequences

[35:56] coming because well yes absolutely

[35:58] restrictions and deals are made to make

[36:00] characters very powerful most notably

[36:02] like with gone but the restriction and

[36:03] deal to turned gone into a threat whose

[36:05] claws could possibly reach maram almost

[36:08] cost him his life and has now at least

[36:10] currently in the manga cost him the

[36:12] ability to use net actions have

[36:15] consequences and because of that to me

[36:18] Hunter Hunter has the perfect power

[36:20] system giving it the only 30 on this

[36:23] list but I'm curious to hear from you

[36:25] guys what would your list look like and

[36:27] what anime to you has the perfect power

[36:29] system tell me in the comments below and

[36:30] why because are down there please for me

[36:33] like this video subscribe to the page

[36:34] and hit that noty Bell feel like early

[36:37] Dragon Ball the way I'm assigning these
