Heavily centred around classic anime, this list. Don't get me wrong, all these series are incredible. But if we're talking specifically about "badass" protags, some of the recent titles have given us a few MCs that are far more "badass" than some of the MCs of these classic anime. Just talking about badass MCs in isolation, without taking how good the series is in consideration.

My favourite badass anime protagonist is Mikazuki Augus from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blooded Orphans. He may seem cold & emotionless on the outside but on the inside he cares for his allies & friends & family. Just don’t be an enemy of him, tekkadan or any others of his allies or else he’ll beat you to a brutal pulp with his Gundam Barbatos, Gundam Barbatos Lupus or Gundam Barbatos Lupus Rex! I also like Orga Itsuka from the same series & Mikazuki & the rest of Tekkadan wouldn’t be who they are without Orga being with them throughout their time together both on & off the battlefield. I really miss everyone in the Tekkadan organization. They didn’t deserve the tragic end of their organization or the deaths of their members that died in the series. Rest in peace Tekkadan. 😭
Very good list.
Gintoki of Gintama and Ginji Amano & Ban Mido of Getbackers deserve a sport of mentions in here
Revy and Alucard are my favorites.

Perhaps you'd already know, but Chad Stahelski was inspired by Cowboy Bebop when creating John Wick. Chad is also currently doing fight choreography for a new anime called "Lazarus," that happens to be from Cowboy Bebop's creator.
Badass anime protagonists are a force of nature. Watch yourself around them. They are definitely not to be trifled with! 🤩😆👊🏾👍🏾❤️❤️❤️
You got so many of my faves on the list!!! But, my top 3 had to be........ Guts, Revy, and........ (I know I'll catch heat here....) Gene Starwind!! o7 😎✊🏿🔥 PS: I'd add Kyo From Samurai Deeper Kyo and Claire from Claymore!!
I’m not gonna lie…that might be the perfect top 3
Dark Schneider is one of the coolest and most badass anime protagonist IV been seen. You know how refreshing it is to have a harem protagonist that actually wants to and does hit it.
Maaan Drifters had such a cool concept and was such a badass show too bad we probably will never get a season 2 😥

Imagine watchmojo not puting Gurren Lagann in a top of theirs just because
Cool list…but I think Mugen from Samurai Champloo would’ve deserved to be on here!
Revy is my favorite girl from Black Lagoon! Sure, I love Balalaika, but Revy is just too damn good to me. Alucard is my vampire boy!
Tanjiro, Light and eren deserves to be in list. REASON: 1)Tanjiro is so badass at only 15-16 years age who can go up against muzan without fearing him.😈 2)Which other MC have that much guts to destroy 80% humanity like Eren??💔 3)because he is kira💪

Idk, man wouldn't call them badasses, only one with a slight claim is Tanjiro as he can actually fight, but he doesn't give off badass energy if you get what I mean. Eren is just an average fighter and only reason he has such a massive kill count is because he basically just pressed the big red extinction button... Light is literally just about manipulation and brains, he could hardly beat a 6th grader in an actual fight and in the end he even got outsmarted by a child so...
Glad to see Guts at number one. How do you even compare some of the epic one liners during the series. Guts: My sword has gotten very dull. However, it's three times as thick and does three times the damage of a normal sword. You'd better pray you die quickly, or this could be painful. Guts: Huh? What’s that you say? So there are still 50 of you left standing? At this rate, it’ll be dawn before I can crack open all of your skulls. "Grins menacingly." I mean damn, thats in one battle and not only does he say it he proceeds to do it. 🤘
Im glad that Gene Starwind at least got some admiration for Outlaw Star. Also were is Anos Voldigoad? He should have been in the top 5 at least
Finally some Outlaw Star love!!
Video idea: best anime voice performances of 2023, who also agrees with it?
I feel like you could swap these ones into the list also there's Randal oland from pumpkin scissors who is a walking tank destroyer, kyo from samurai deeper kyo, jiro from black blood brothers, hie from darker than black, Kenshin himura from rurouni Kenshin And Trevor Belmont from Castlevania could all work and sorry for any misspelling
Naruto,Goku,Luffy,Tatsumi(Akame Ga Kill),Ichigo Kurosaki(Bleach),Meliodas(Seven Deadly Sins),Alucard(Hellsing Ultimate),Thorfinn(Vinland Saga),Issei Hyoudou(High School DXD),Inuyasha,Revy(Black Lagoon) and Devilman(Akira Fudo)!
Honestly, Sakai Rihito AKA Licht Bach from Plunderer deserves to be on this list.
I am shocked that Gene Starwind made this list Outlaw Star do not get much love, but there is so many more that could of been added on this list such as Hajmi from Arifureta, Naruto who kicked Ichigo's butt in a deathbattle, Maou from The Devil is a Part timmer just to name a few.
I’m honestly just glad when Gaogaigar gets recognition.
I HAVE NO ENEMIES Only those who redeemed themselves after walking down the path of violence are real badasses for me

Dark Schneider, Revy, Kenshiro, and Alucard are here nice Dark Schneider is badass and underrated waiting for Bastard!! seasons 2. Same with revy needs a season 4 of Black Lagoon, her and Dark Schneider 2 of them didn't end their series yet unlike Alucard and Kenshiro are already finished.
Forgot one thing about Guts that wasn't said. But if you read the manga you'd know. He was raped as a child. Sold to a pedo soldier in the group by his own father figure because he was jealous of Guts's talent and wanted to break him. And yes, he also just flat out ganked the guy in battle as soon as he could. I think it was actually the straw that broke the camel's back for the band leader father figure who flat out tried killed him himself but got killed by Guts and everyone thought Guts was a betrayer. Man all of Berzerk is just one giant fuck you to Guts. Poor guy :/

But the true question is who would win in a fight between them all?
I think Ryo Saeba from City Hunter deserves a mention on this list. II don't think he was even mentioned in any other WatchMojo anime lists.
Black Lagoon should have a Tarantino collab L-A movie
Black lagoon is the only live action anime adaptation i would want to see
I freaking love Guts! He is one of my favorite badass anime guys!
These badass protagonists make their antagonists look like another easy task.
4:25 man see that - return hits different
I'm sad that the immortal Sugimoto didn't make this list. He's had part of his brain blown out, been stabbed hundreds of times from head to toe(including thru the cheek) and can unleash a whirlwind of fists if he gets worked up.
Jonathan Joestar & Dark Schneider are badass!!! 🔥🔥🔥
If Guts hadn't been on this list, I was going to ragequit WatchMojo. Glad to see you redeemed yourselves.
How could you omit Balsa, the badass spear wielder from Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit? She's as tough a yojimbo as ever existed in media. And the anime is excellently written and animated.
Holy shit... how did I not think of #1 that's literally my fave anime/manga lol. I guess I've just subsectioned it off to a manga only story at this point since I don't think we'll ever get a good adaptation.
A few names that should’ve been on the list: Luffy and Zoro from One Piece; Sanzo, Goku,Gojyo and Hakkai from Gensoumaden Saiyuki; Kyoya Hibari from Katekyo Hitman Reborn; Sasuke from Naruto; Goku and Vegeta from Dragonball; Killua from Hunter X Hunter; Seiya from Saint Seiya….and these are the first that came to my mind - and yes, I know some of them are not protagonists….but neither are Revy or Simon.
I'm surprised Cobra, the man with the Psychogun didn't make the list, but for the most part i agree.
Probably, the first watchmojo video, when I agree with 1st place
No love for Escanor is bothersome. Went toe-to-toe with the Demon King, as a human, and didn’t flinch

Escanor isn't really the protagonist, Meliodas is.
The fact that Simon is even on this list, let alone being so high on it, just shows how bais watchmojo is.

I hope they make that list soon.
I fuck with Baki, Yusuke, Revi, Alucard(Hellsing Ultimate), Jotaro, and Guts. 🔥🔥❤️ Honorable mentions would be: Joskue(Jojo's), Akame(Akame ga Kill), Afro(Afro Samurai), Ryuko(Kill la kill), and Sebastian( Black Butler).
What's the girl from the thumbnail from??
If Guts wasn’t on this list I was going to scream.
A few honorable mentions: Asta (Black Clover) Luffy (One Piece) Edward (FMAB) Naofumi (Rising of the shield hero) Anos (Misfit of demon academy).
Explain to me how Afro samurai is not a top 5 or 10? My man literally slices a musket shot and a rpg in half with a samurai sword.
