Anime is a type of entertainment that could cater to everyone regardless of gender or age. The reason for Anime’s success in recent years is probably its ability to shine a light on various side characters instead of being centered solely on the protagonist.
The Anime world has lots of characters but here we’re going to talk about famous Anime characters whose name starts with the letter “E“.
Let’s begin!
Eren Yeager from Attack On Titan
We obviously can’t begin this list without including possibly the most popular villainous protagonist in Anime history, Eren Yeager.
Eren Yeager was a Survey Corps member. He was the main protagonist in Attack on Titan.
He lived with his parents in Shiganshina District until the collapse of Wall Maria, when he witnessed his mother being devoured by a Titan.
This event would fuel Eren’s hatred for the Titans, and he vowed to wipe them all from the face of the planet.
Eren, Mikasa Ackerman, and Armin Arlert enlisted in the 104th Training Corps in 847. After the fight of Trost District, the three graduated, with Eren finishing fifth best, and joined the Survey Corps.
Eren learned the truth about the Titans and the past of Eldia and Marley after discovering the basement and accessing his father’s memories.
Eren then determined to liberate his homeland from their actual foe: the remainder of humankind living across the ocean.
Eren wielded the might of three Titans. Eren got the Attack and Founding Titans from his father. He obtained the War Hammer Titan after devouring Lara Tybur during the Liberio Assault.
Abilities
- Strength: Possessing the attack titan, Eren can vastly overpower almost every other titan holder. He has enough strength to damage the armored titan so much so that it almost died. He was also able to defeat the Warhammer titan which is arguably the strongest titan in the series.
- Durability: Eren Yeager has the ability of hardening, similar to the Female Titan. He has developed crystal-hard layers over his limbs or body that are nigh unbreakable, His hardened fists were able to overpower the armored titans’ defenses. His durability is second only to the armored titan.
- Intelligence: Eren is extremely intelligent and strategic, he was able to utilize the powers of the Jaw titan to break the hardened protective crystal core enveloping Lara Tybur. This shows his quick thinking and problem-solving skills
- Martial Arts: Eren is a master martial artist, he was able to go toe-to-toe with the Female Titan using superior martial arts and skills and was able to break through the armored titans’ defense through various grappling techniques.
Here’s a table that details how and when Eren gets his titan powers
| Titan | Age and How |
| Attack Titan | At age 10, by consuming his father |
| Founding Titan | At age 10, by consuming his father |
| Warhammer Titan | At age 19, by consuming Lara Tybur |
Erwin Smith from Attack On Titan
While talking about Eren Yeager, how could we forget the badass hype machine, Commander Erwin?
Erwin Smith was the Survey Corps’ thirteenth commander. He was a competent leader who was astute, intelligent, and well-liked.
While he loved his troops dearly, he wasn’t afraid to sacrifice them for the benefit and progress of mankind, and his men were more than prepared to risk their lives at his command.
Erwin devised the Long-Distance Enemy Reconnaissance Formation during his career, and owing to uncertainties about his destiny, he later nominated Hange Zo as his successor.
Abilities
- Intelligence: Erwin is arguably the most strategically intelligent character in Attack On Titan, his various formations, attack tactics, and sheer determination have led to countless victories for the Survey Corps
- Leadership: Erwin has the best leadership skills in the series, his speeches and sheer determination in his beliefs and his comrades, have led to his sub-ordinated possessing unyielding loyalty towards him, He has even ordered his scouts to die for the sake of humanity and they have agreed. He can probably convince a Buddhist monk to commit murder.
Here’s a video on the life of Erwin Smith:
Emilia from Re:Zero
Emilia is the female protagonist of the Re: Zero franchise.
She’s a semi-Elf and a Royal Selection contender for the 42nd Monarch of the Dragon Empire of Lugnica.
Emilia, who makes her debut at the beginning of the series, is arguably the most important figure in the series, as most events revolve around her.
Abilities
- Spirit Arts: Emilia can use her Spirit Arts alongside Puck and her other spirits. Emilia and Puck can seamlessly switch between offensive and defensive duties, resulting in devastating effects. Some good examples involve manipulating the atmosphere in the clouds to rain down swarms of ice spears and generating ice clones capable of attacking and defending her.
- Healing factor: Emilia is contracted to multiple Quasi Spirits, which she can use for a variety of purposes, including healing.
- Magic: Similar to her aunt Fortuna, she can utilize ice magic by fast transforming heat into ice using her innate fire attribute.

Escanor from The Seven Deadly Sins
Escanor, formerly the 2nd prince of the Kingdom of Castellio and is currently the warrior renowned all through the Realm of Liones as “The Greatest Holy Knight,” is one of the 7 Deadly Sins.

Abilities
- Strength: Escanor’s strength is very monster-like indeed, both enemy and ally fear him alike. Estarossa, The strongest member of the Demon group, The Ten Commandments, couldn’t believe anyone was this powerful as a human, he was utterly paralyzed in fear of Escanor’s sheer strength. Even Meliodas, the founder and leader of the 7 Deadly Sins and the son of the Demon King, considered Escanor to be more powerful.
- “The One”: Escanor destroyed Meliodas in his “Assault Mode” with a single swipe, what makes this even more profound is that before reaching The One, Escanor was completed outclassed by Meliodas. Using this mode Escanor is considered unbeatable and immortal.
- Divine Sword Escanor: This move is done in his “The One” state, Escanor simply does a downward swiping motion using his arm, any person in front of this gesture would be cut down completely. This potent attack destroyed Zeldris’ Ominous Nebula and is perhaps by far his strongest move

Why do anime characters have names in English?
The voice actors in anime speak in Japanese, yet the characters have English names.
Anime is a Japanese word that means “animated cartoons.” The term is frequently used to describe a Japanese animation style that combines traditional art styles and techniques with modern ones.
Anime characters use English names because they are easier to recall and pronounce for the English-speaking audience.
What is the strongest anime character of all time?
This is a question that anime enthusiasts have been debating for years. However, answering the question is difficult. A character’s strength can be perceived in a variety of ways.
Some may argue that power level is the most significant thing to consider when choosing who the strongest character is, while others may argue that personality and determination are more vital factors to consider when determining who the strongest character is.
Some argue that it doesn’t matter how powerful a character’s power level or personality is because they’re simply fictitious characters who don’t matter in comparison to real individuals in the world today.
