5 Anime Characters who Look Innocent but Possess Terrifying Powers

In the world of anime, it is not uncommon for appearances to represent a character's power. 

Characters with intimidating appearances tend to possess great and terrifying abilities. 

On the other hand, heroes usually have cool and dazzling powers.

However, appearances don't always accurately reflect one's abilities. 

This is proven by the five characters below who, despite their innocent and adorable looks, actually possess incredibly terrifying powers. 

Curious to know who these characters are? 

Let's take a look at the following overview.

1. Alluka Zoldyck (Hunter x Hunter)

Alluka Zoldyck is the sibling of Silva Zoldyck and the younger sister of Killua Zoldyck. 

Despite being small and seemingly harmless, Alluka is feared by her own family. 

Due to her powers, Silva even isolates Alluka by confining her in a secret room.

What makes Alluka extremely terrifying is the parasite attached to her body, known as Nanika. 

This creature from the Dark Continent can grant any wish. 

However, Nanika can also bring tragic consequences to those who do not heed its words.

2. Eri (My Hero Academia)

Quirks don't always bring goodness. 

For some people, Quirks can also bring calamity. 

Eri is a prime example of this. 

On the day she awakened her Quirk, Eri accidentally killed her father, leading her mother to abandon her.

Despite her cute appearance, Eri is blessed with a terrifying Quirk. 

She possesses the Quirk called Rewind, which allows her to reverse a condition. 

This Quirk should be useful for healing wounds. 

However, on the flip side, Eri can also erase someone from existence with her ability.

3. Kyusaku Yumeno (Bungou Stray Dogs)

More commonly known as Q, Kyusaku Yumeno is a member of the Port Mafia. 

Despite appearing innocent, never underestimate his abilities. Q possesses a power known as Dogra Magra.

Simply put, this power enables Q to control the minds of those who harm him. 

To trap his targets, Q usually prepares a knife and deliberately crashes into his target, causing them to unintentionally harm Q. 

Typically, Q will drive his targets to lose their sanity by subjecting them to terrifying illusions.

4. Kyubey (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)

Appearing as a cute white cat, one would think that no one could bear to harm it. 

However, once you become aware of its powers, this cat should probably be eradicated. 

Don't be deceived by its appearance because Kyubey is actually very evil.

Kyubey often lures girls into becoming magical girls by promising them the power to grant any wish. 

However, when these girls transform into magical girls, they experience tragic fates instead. 

To make matters worse, Kyubey feels no remorse even after destroying the lives of many people.

5. Nezuko Kamado (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba)

With a petite body, big eyes, and an adorable design, everyone would surely be captivated by this character. 

However, don't be fooled by her appearance because Nezuko Kamado is a demon. 

She was once a human who was turned into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji.

As a demon, Nezuko possesses many typical demon traits, such as regenerative abilities and a strong hunger for humans. 

Throughout her time as a demon, Nezuko never consumed humans. 

However, without her brother, Tanjiro Kamado, Nezuko could lose control and prey on humans.

At first glance, the five characters above may have a cute appearance. 

However, they should not be underestimated because these characters also possess terrifying powers. 

In your opinion, who are other anime characters that appear cute but actually have frightening abilities?
