10 Strongest Anime Pets, Ranked

Pet lovers, assemble! In this article, we’ve ranked 10 of the strongest pets anime has ever offered us. Not only is each entry here aggressively cute, but they all possess super-animal strength and are often a key part of the overall narrative. These reliable sidekicks deserved their own ranking.

From beloved ’90s classics to modern-day sensations, the list features iconic anime from across multiple generations. So, without further ado, let’s dive in and see if you find your beloved anime pet here.

10 Bond – Spy x Family

Bond proves that you don’t need super-animal strength to save your master. All you need is a little bit of courage. The number of times he has come in clutch to save Anya easily puts him among the best and strongest anime pets of all time. That said, he still does have one super ability!

As it turns out, Bond can briefly glimpse the future. But since he cannot verbalise his thoughts to others, he must act spontaneously to protect those he holds dear. His large physique also isn’t easy to fight off, especially for the troublemakers shown in the Spy x Family anime.

9 Akamaru – Naruto

What else do you need when you have a reliable companion like Akamaru? While he might not be one of the top-tier powerhouse anime pets, he still has quite a few tricks up his sleeve. Apart from his high speed and agility, Akamaru can also use certain Beast Human techniques alongside Kiba.

He has survived battles against multiple ninjas and even won fights against opponents far beyond normal human capability. Interestingly, in the later storyline, Akamaru grows much bigger in size, which naturally increases his strength. Thus, because of all that, he easily ranks 9th on the list.

8 Luna – Sailor Moon

While on the surface, Luna may not appear all that fierce, the extent of her actual power stretches quite far. She basically acts as a mentor and navigator for the Sailor Guardians, but to earn that role, she herself had to be strong enough. In fact, some of her abilities suggest exactly that.

Luna can manifest magical items, which essentially gives her an edge over many other animal pets. Her memory-reawakening ability is also pretty overpowered. Even as a support character, Luna easily places herself among the strongest anime pets. Thus, based on canon references, she deserves the 8th spot.

7 Happy – Fairy Tail

Although we mostly see Happy as comic relief in Fairy Tail, he has enough combat feats to prove how reliable he is. Sure, he lacks physical strength, but he has one power that allows him to overcome even the strongest opponents. Using his skill, Aera, he can fly at incredible speeds.

Thus, while he may not be conventionally strong, Happy is deceptively powerful compared to many other animal pets. His mobility and reflexes are also quite commendable. Therefore, putting all of that together, Happy very much deserves a spot on this list. No questions asked.

6 Kirara – Inuyasha

Let’s turn things up a notch with a few twists now, because Kirara from Inuyasha is inarguably one of the fiercest anime pets to ever exist. On the surface, she might look like a harmless nekomata, but in actuality, she can transform into a massive, furious beast capable of fighting powerful demons.

She also boasts impressive durability. Furthermore, Kirara can control fire, which makes her even stronger. And on top of everything, her incredible speed and ability to fly truly seal the deal. Therefore, Kirara easily claims a spot on this list, though not too high, because the remaining pets are even stronger!

5 Sadaharu – Gintama

Truth be told, Sadaharu looks incredibly cute and innocent. But don’t be fooled by his appearance and assume he’s harmless. We are talking about a literal Dog God here! As the guardian of the Dragon’s Veins, his strength surpasses human understanding, as shown in Gintama.

Sadaharu can literally control the world’s energy flow. That alone should be enough to clear any doubts. There’s also a moment in the anime when he catches the sword of Utsuro, one of the series’ strongest villains, with his bare mouth! Therefore, Sadaharu rightfully secures the 5th spot.

4 Tony Tony Chopper – One Piece

Well, our cute little doctor of the crew swiftly claims the 4th spot on the list. The Devil Fruit he ate, Hito Hito no Mi, only allowed him to gain intelligence and the ability to talk and behave like humans. He can also transform into various forms depending on the situation, and his Heavy Point (full human form) can have several other sub-points that can be used during combat using his self-made Rumble Balls.

His stronger forms possess strength that surpasses human comprehension. Through some of these transformations, he can even defeat powerful villains in the anime on his own. He can also block attacks from Yonko-level opponents! So, arguably, he is pretty strong even among all One Piece characters.

3 Madara – Natsume’s Book of Friends

The true form of Madara in Natsume’s Book of Friends is easily one of the strongest in all anime. As a pet, he might appear cutesy and all, but you can also sense the majestic presence of one of the highest-ranked and most formidable yōkai in the entire anime. Thus, he easily claims a spot in the top 3.

He literally possesses near-divine levels of spiritual energy and immense physical strength, if we go by the anime’s lore. He can also fly and shapeshift into human forms. Thus, Madara is not just a strong anime pet; he is even smarter than many listed here. Still, he can be beaten by the top 2.

2 Yoru – My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

Literally a dungeon boss, Yoru is incomprehensibly strong. While she wasn’t initially introduced as a pet, she became Akira’s companion after their battle in the anime. Though it began as a contract, her loyalty knows no bounds. That’s why she takes the second spot on this list.

In multiple instances, whenever Yoru’s help is needed, things quickly descend into chaos. After all, she possesses immense power and harbors a deep hatred toward ordinary humans. However, as a pet, she behaves much better and often becomes incredibly cute in her transformed, cat-like appearance.

1 Pochita – Chainsaw Man

One name that every devil fears in Chainsaw Man is none other than the Chainsaw Devil. And guess what? When Denji finds an injured yet adorable devil one day, it turns out to be the Chainsaw Devil, whom he names Pochita. Thus, unknowingly, Denji earns the trust of one of the strongest devils ever.

Pochita’s influence can be felt throughout the entire anime. He is the main driving force behind the story itself. However, the moments Denji shares with Pochita are filled with love, care, and compassion. That’s why Pochita is arguably one of the best, yet strongest, anime pets we’ve ever been blessed with.
