In the world of anime, the forces of good always triumph over evil, at least in most cases. Anime heroes always have to overcome numerous obstacles before they can get their hands on some kind of power. After gaining new powers, the heroes are expected to get the better of their opponents.

However, there are plenty of exceptions. In many popular anime, even the strongest anime characters can be bettered at times. Among other reasons, this commonly happens whenever a hero becomes arrogant and underestimates their opponent’s strength. Unfortunately, they never learn from their mistakes and end up losing most of their fights.
6Caesar Zeppeli
Caesar Zeppeli is one of the main allies of Joseph JoestarinBattle Tendency. When he first met Joseph, there was a great deal of tension between them, but that was resolved with time. It didn’t take long for the two to become the best of friends. Their friendship blossomed further when they started to train under Lisa Lisa.
The two of them improved massively, and they even managed to defeat their overseers without any problem. When the location of the Pillar Men was confirmed, Caesar decided to charge in on his own to defeat them. However, his recklessness cost him his life, as Wamuu killed the hero without showing any mercy. Overall, it is fair to say that Caesar did not get many chances to show his strength, which lands him on the list.
5Neji Hyuuga (Naruto)
Neji Hyuuga was considered to be a prodigy of the Hyuuga Clan. At a young age, Neji had mastered the Byakugan, and his skill was comparable to that of the Hyuuga elders. He was among the favorites to win the Chunin Exams, and after crushing Hinata brutally in their fight, he seemed unstoppable.

Neji’s next fight was against Naruto Uzumaki, and the latter was never going to be an easy opponent for the Hyuuga prodigy. Neji tried everything in his power to beat Naruto, but he failed. From then on, Neji maintained the reputation of being a fearsome fighter, although he never managed to overwhelm his opponents. Even in the fight against Kidomaru, Neji had to rely on the brazenness of his opponent to score a victory. Eventually, he met a very bizarre end inNaruto Shippudenwhenhe was killed by a weak Ten-Tails attack.
4Eustass Kid (One Piece)
Eustass Kid is the captain of the Kid Pirates, anda member of the Worst Generation. Kid made his debut in the Sabaody Archipelago arc, where he fought the Marines alongside Trafalgar Law and Luffy. Kid is armed with Jiki Jiki no Mi, which is a ridiculously powerful devil fruit. It is a paramecia type devil fruit that allows him to control the magnetic forces.
His devil fruit has played a major role in Kid’s rise to become one of the most notorious pirates in the world. Sadly, for a man of his stature, Kid has lost a lot of fights. In his fight against Shanks, Kid was humiliated and lost an arm. While facing Kaido, Kid was brutally beaten and locked up. Even in the fight against Big Mom, it was Law who played the bigger role and carried the two to victory. As someone who wants to become the Pirate King, Kid needs to improve a lot.
3Genos (One Punch Man)
Genos is a cyborg, and one of the S-rank heroes. He was given bodily modifications by Dr. Kusano, who wanted to help the young man in his mission. Before meeting Saitama, Genos was solely focused on revenge, which made him a very one-dimensional character. Saitama’s actions helped Genos understand that there was more to life than just fighting.

Seeing Saitama’s strength, Genos was desperate to reach the same level, so he implored Saitama to take him in. Saitama was reluctant, but Genos' tenacity paid off. Despite being one of the highest-ranked heroes in the series, Genos rarely wins any fights. In most cases, he is defeated, and his body ends up in a very horrible state.
2Eren Yeager (Attack on Titan)
Eren Yeager is a rather odd shonen protagonist, as he barely has any traits that a hero possesses. In the earlier seasons, Eren worked extremely hard as a member of the Survey Corps to ensure that humanity would be safe within the walls. But, as the story progressed, Eren became a monster.
His plan to change the world includedwiping out more than half of the population. Could he have been stopped? Yes. In fact, there were many occasions where Eren was defeated by his opponents and needed to be saved by the other members of the Survey Corps.
1Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z)
Born into the Saiyan Royal Family, Vegeta was in line to be the next king of planet Vegeta, but due to unfortunate circumstances, he ended up serving Frieza. Vegeta is blessed with a great deal of power, but he still couldn’tcompete with his rival, Goku.So, Vegeta had to put a lot of effort into training to match Goku’s strength.
For someone so powerful, Vegeta seems to lose an awful number of fights. In almost all the fights where he has had to fight well-known fighters, Vegeta ends up being beaten. One can only hope that in the future, Vegeta will be treated better by the creators and maybe then he can win some of the fights.
