Summary
Isekai anime showcases the imaginative and unique power of disrupting established worldviews. Main characters in isekai anime often possess powerful abilities such as physical strength, curse immunity, and magical power. The genre explores many different paths to power and satisfaction, presenting diverse concepts and storytelling approaches.
The Most broken power in isekai anime is a testament to the growth of the genre and its success within the fantasy genre. The concept of “isekai,” which means “other world” in Japanese, capitalizes on capturing satisfying moments, from portraying a horribly overpowered protagonist to completing quests redemption and revenge.
What makes isekai so interesting is that there are countless paths that can be taken to reach the pinnacle of power and satisfaction. Quite often, this leads to bizarre ideas, such as being reincarnated as a sword in Reincarnated as a Sword or gaining extensive pharmacological knowledge after being transported to a fake world in Pharmacy in Another World: The Slow Life of a Fraudulent Pharmacist. Obviously, such imaginative ideas are a consequence of wanting to stand out among other similar series, while also trying to introduce the most interesting powers that break the established worldview.
