Summer 2024‘s isekai lineup is generally watchable, featuring a couple of overpowered protagonists, a refreshing change from recent seasons.
The rankings of isekai anime characters are based on their power within their unique universes, regardless of source material.
Touka Mimori from Failure Frame stands out as the most powerful isekai main character of Summer 2024, leveling up rapidly with unique abilities.

As a seasoned anime enthusiast with a knack for recognizing overpowered protagonists, I must say that Summer 2024 has truly outdone itself! The isekai genre has always been about transporting ordinary individuals into extraordinary worlds, but this season takes it to a whole new level.

By now, we’ve reached the midpoint of Summer 2024’s anime season, and it’s become clear which isekai shows are worth your time and which aren’t. Although this lineup may not go down as a classic, especially following the impressive Spring 2024 offerings, most of the shows remain enjoyable to watch. What sets Summer 2024 apart, however, is the presence of some incredibly powerful isekai protagonists.

Unlike some previous quarters, this one has a more moderate use of Overpowered Main Characters (OP MCs), which is quite pleasant. However, for those who enjoy tales with visitors who can seemingly defeat formidable opponents effortlessly, there’s plenty to delight in.

Before progressing further, here are a few criteria and things to keep in mind:

5 Osamu Dazai (No Longer Allowed in Another World)

Blood Poison & A Useful But Situational Ability

In the series “Osamu Dazai” from “No Longer Allowed in Another World”, it’s challenging to define Sensei’s abilities or potential, as he seems reluctant and seemingly underprepared to serve his other-worldly role. Unlike typical summoned characters, Sensei initially appears weak and lacks any distinctive special powers, making him unusual for this type of character.

Despite Sensei possessing unique defenses that activate under specific conditions, often linked to his nihilistic and self-destructive traits, it seems the universe conspires to keep him alive. Consequently, Dazai gains power as death nears, even receiving a HP increase. Furthermore, his blood is lethal, providing him an advantage over numerous adversaries.

Above all, Dazai’s exceptional ability became evident over time, proving extremely beneficial. He possesses the power to return beings from other dimensions to their original realms, albeit this is only possible after he composes a tale about them first.

Dazai has come close to dying a few times, and he is physically weak.

4 Suicide Squad (Suicide Squad Isekai)

A Group Effort

In the series Suicide Squad Isekai, an unlikely alliance of five characters – Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface, and King Shark – are often portrayed as a collective unit. Although each member is powerful in their own right, they’re not strong enough to face a dragon individually. However, when united, they possess the strength necessary to bring down this mythical creature that serves as a symbolic representation of a challenge. They also conquer armies and other DC characters such as Ratcatcher, The Thinker, and Enchantress. As a team, their combined might surpasses their individual capabilities.

In general, the characters in this anime are quite similar to their comic book versions, though they’ve been given a bit of an enhancement by magic. Clayface stands out as the strongest among them, but he has a significant vulnerability – he can’t stand water. This weakness could be used against him. King Shark is another formidable figure, while Deadshot and Peacemaker are particularly deadly when wielding weapons. As for Harley Quinn, she’s just as you’d expect – a surprisingly skillful fighter in her own right.

3 Takumi Kayano (A Journey Through Another World)

Incredible Potential, But A Work In Progress

In a new realm as an atonement for his premature demise, Takumi swiftly adopts the role of caregiver to two children, forming a makeshift family primarily composed of robust individuals. Endowed with unique advantages by his divine patron, Takumi’s growth potential is essentially unlimited, paving the way for him to rise through the ranks and potentially surpass the mightiest of heroes. Within just a few episodes, he demonstrates proficiency in advanced magic, and even summons S-Class monsters. Accompanied by his children, Takumi effortlessly navigates a labyrinth without encountering significant obstacles.

In the everyday-life-focused anime titled “A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring“, action isn’t its main focus, which means Takumi doesn’t get many chances to prove his mettle. His children, Elena and Allen, are quite powerful and usually vanquish enemies before Takumi can take action. Despite being one of the strongest isekai characters in Summer 2024, he seldom gets the opportunity to demonstrate this.

2 Ike (The Strongest Magician in the Demon Lord’s Army Was a Human)

Top-Tier Magician Who Stacks Up Well Alongside Demons

Now, let’s talk about the main characters in this season who belong to the isekai genre, specifically. The character we are discussing is named Ike, a magician serving under the Demon Lord, yet unbeknownst to everyone, he is actually human. He was brought up by an incredibly powerful demonic mentor, and not only did he learn from this teacher, but he also advanced his knowledge in white magic, which is exceptionally potent against demons.

Ike showcases his white magic trump card during his battle with Basteo, a demon who is trying to usurp the Demon Lord.

Ike possesses an extensive arsenal of magical abilities. He has the power to read thoughts, manipulate time, teleport, construct protective barriers around fortresses, restrain foes, and conjure rock pillars – just a few examples of his mighty skills. Indeed, he fully embodies his reputation as the most powerful sorcerer within the Demon Lord’s forces.

To put it simply, it’s apparent that Ike is significantly less powerful compared to the Demon Lord, based on what has been displayed thus far. On the other hand, Cefiro and Lilith possess capabilities not far behind the main character, and Basteo manages to hold his ground against Ike until he begins using white magic.

1 Touka Mimori (Failure Frame)

Overpowered Isekai Protagonist On A Revenge Tour

In the summer of 2024, Touka Mimori from the ‘Failure Frame’ series is undeniably the strongest main character in any isekai story. Accompanied by his classmates after being summoned by an unkind goddess, Touka receives the ability to cast status effects, which are generally seen as ineffective due to their low success rate. The deity then seemingly dooms him by sending him to a dangerous dungeon. However, it turns out that Touka’s status effects always take effect. Soon enough, he is immobilizing, contaminating, and overpowering formidable creatures, gaining experience points at an astonishing pace and rapidly leveling up.

In the initial installment, Touka jumps over level 600 straight away. On the other hand, most of his peers need several episodes just to surpass level 20, with these students being among the stronger ones.

Escaping from captivity and yearning for retribution against the goddess, Touka embarks on a journey across the lands, gradually amassing power along the way. Though generally avoiding conflict, Touka finds himself entangled with an elf under attack by the Black Dragon Knights, powerful warriors revered by mankind. In a stunning display of might, Touka slays all five dragons simultaneously, earning himself a cache of new spells that could prove invaluable down the line. Unfazed by the taking of life, Touka continues his quest.

As a gamer, I can confidently say that, for now, the goddess seems to outmatch Touka in terms of power. However, there’s a lot of potential growth on Touka’s side, suggesting a significant ceiling she could potentially reach.
