Let’s kick things off withour favorite teacher, Kuro Sensei. He is capable of moving at Mach 20, which is 20 times faster than sound.
With his speed and reaction time, he easily dodges bullets, missiles, and energy-based attacks with little to no effort.
From the start, he moves so fast that most of the time, we end up seeing him at multiple places at once. All of that makes him one of the fastest characters in anime.
9Izuku Midoriya (My Hero Academia)
Next, we have Izuku Midoriya, who might not seem that fast, but he has some incredible feats of speed under his belt.
His speed increases unimaginably as he starts tomaster One for All, and with Full Cowl 100%, he moves at lightning speed. This is especially evident during his battle against Overhaul, where he moves so fast that he appears to be teleporting.
Furthermore, MHA is an ongoing show, and as Izuku refines his powers more and learns to control One for All better, he will only get faster.
8Meruem (Hunter x Hunter)

7Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach)
Ichigo’s speed is one of his greatest strengths in the anime, so no wonder he is extremely fast. Be it him using the Shunpo or moving beyond comprehension in his Bankai.
Furthermore, in the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, Ichigo’s speed reaches levels that were never seen in the series. With this speed, he becomes untouchable and blitzes through enemies like it’s nothing.
Overall, with his power and speed, Ichigo isone of the fastestswordsmen in animeandone of the fastest characters.
6Naruto Uzumaki (Boruto)
Naruto is undoubtedly one of the fastest ninjas in the entirety of Naruto and Naruto Shippuden, but things get faster for him in Boruto.
With Sage of Six Paths' power, he is already moving faster than the eye can see and dodges most attacks effortlessly. Then comes his Baryon Mode, where his speed skyrockets to an entirely different spectrum.
He starts to completely overwhelm Isshiki Otsutsuki, who, before this form, was dominating him and Sasuke together. So, at full power, Naruto reaches transcendent speeds, making him one of the fastest characters in anime.
5Satoru Gojo (Jujutsu Kaisen)
Moving to Gojo, we are going to speed near or the same as light speed. Gojo is fast, but that’s only part of what makes him so great, as he can manipulate space itself.
With hisunique Limitless ability, Gojo creates an infinite gap between himself and his opponents, which makes it impossible to hit him. Along with that, his reflexes allow him to move at lightning speed and dodge most attacks before they even happen.

Lastly, Gojo has his Domain Expansion, Infinite Void, which slows his enemies and everything inside it, making him even faster. All in all, Gojo’s mix of speed and space manipulation makes him one of the fastest sorcerers in Anime.
4Saitama (One Punch Man)
Saitama, better known as One Punch Man, has ridiculous speed, which is much higher than what he needs to defeat his enemies.
In one scene, Saitama travels from the Moon to Earth in what seems like seconds, making his speed close to the speed of light. Furthermore, he displayed even crazier feats of speed in the manga, but just going by the anime, Saitama is still fast.
In his fight against Boros, he moves so fast that he seems to be teleporting, and that is not even his limit. While his actual limit remains a mystery, it’s clear that his speed is beyond human and close to lightspeed.
3Borsalino/Kizaru (One Piece)
With the top three on our list, we are officially moving to light speed. Borsalino, better known as Kizaru, is literally light itself thanks tohis devil fruit, the Pika Pika no Mi.
His movements are instant, which allows him to dodge any attack or teleport anywhere across the battlefield. He can also shoot light beams, and one of the only ways to beat him is using Haki to foresee the future to stop him.
The only thing that holds him back from being better is his thought process, which is not light speed and heavily limits him because moving at light speed is one thing, but controlling that is another. Still, he is fast.
2Shinra Kusakabe (Fire Force)
Now, Shinra Kusakabe is one of those characters that breaks the laws of physics and goes beyond light speed.
His ability allows him to move at a speed faster than light, resulting in him rewinding time and rewriting events that had already occurred.
Then there is his ability that literally breaks his body and reconstructs it, which allows him to travel at unreal speeds. So, with that and the ability to outrun time itself, there is not much to say except that he sure is fast.
1Goku (Dragon Ball Super)
Lastly, we have my boy, Goku, who is far beyond the speed of light. Goku’s always been fast throughout Dragon Ball Z, but things are on another level in Dragon Ball Super with Ultra Instinct.
With Ultra Instinct, Goku reacts and attacks before his brain can even process it. He easily dodges beams that are far beyond the speed of light and breaks reality itself. He is so fast and powerful that his aura shakes the nothingness.
Furthermore, he has Instant Transmission, with which he can travel across the universe in less than a second, surpassing Whis’s traveling method and making him the fastest character in Dragon Ball and in anime.
