One of the many things that a lot of anime have in common is that the main character is almost guarantied to have a mentor to teach them some moves or show them how to use their current abilities better. And a lot of them have shown to be some of best characters in their series. Not just because they teach the protagonists things, but also because of who they are as characters themselves and how entertaining they are. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
10. Urahara (Bleach):
Starting us off at number 10 is Mr. Hat And Clogs himself, Urahara. While this guy may seem like an incredibly fun character, which he is, his methods in teaching are kinda crazy. He was the one who properly trained Ichigo when he was going off to save Rukia. Mainly teaching him about how to use his energy with his Zanpakuto.
9. Bisky (Hunter X Hunter):
While this mentor to Gon and Killua may look like a normal sweet little girl, she's actually an elder woman who teaches Gon and Killua the power of Nen. And, not only can she control Nen herself, but she's also capable of fighting firecely and is able to transform into an adult version of herself to make herself stronger like Gon.
8. Genkai (Yu Yu Hakusho):
Another mentor figure created by Yoshihiro Tagashi, this old woman is the main teacher to Yusuke throughout the whole runtime of Yu Yu Hakusho. Not only that, but she even has a deep past with one of the villains of the series, Toguro, originally being partners with him until he threw his humanity away to keep his youth forever and she began to find a way to stop him. And when Yusuke came around, she began to teach him better uses of his spirit attacks, even teaching him the Spirit Wave.
7. Izumi (Fullmetal Alchemist):
At number 7 is the alchemist who taught real alchemy to Ed and Al. After Ed and Al lost their mother, they asked Izumi to teach them proper alchemy. Despite already having a bit of a tragic backstory herself with trying to use alchemy to bring her unborn child back to life, she took them under her wing and began trainning them, even if the start of the trainning was just as bizzare as you'd imagine. As a teacher, Izumi may seem a bit crazy at times, even going overboard when it comes to disciplining Ed and Al, but she's shown to be extremely knowledgeable when it comes to using alchemy and has shown the two boys incredible care as well.
6. All Might (My Hero Academia):
Known to the whole world as the greatest hero ever, this now retired hero is a teacher at U.A as well as the real mentor to Deku. After he got a huge injury from All For One, he decided to pass his quirk to another. That eventually becoming Deku who inherited his One For All quirk and has been trainning Deku to use it ever since. You'd almost expect a character like this guy to have an egogist side given how popular he is in his world, but, no, he's stands by what he stands for and is incredibly kind and wise when it comes to helping Deku in whatever way he can.
5. King Kai (Dragon Ball):
Now we get into the series with, probably, the most popular mentors in anime, Dragon Ball. And the first one on here is the joke loving mentor to Goku, King Kai. Not only is this guy a deity who's able to observe everything everywhere, but he's also the one who taught Goku some of his most famous moves like the Spirit Bomb and the Kaioken.
4. Silvers Rayleigh (One Piece):
This former member of Gold Roger's crew not only holds the title of "The Dark King", but is also one of the strongest characters in One Piece. Not only is his own strength incredible, but he's also a master when it comes to the use of Haki and is the one who was the mentor to Luffy during the two year time skip. Rayleigh taught Luffy how to use his Haki and to become stronger by doing so. This also helped Luffy become a stronger fighter as well as how to use Gear Fourth.
3.
Master Roshi (Dragon Ball):
Easily the most popular master in anime, Master Roshi has made a huge impression when it comes to teachers and senseis in anime. And his comedy and perverted nature is one easy reason as to why you should like him, but I like him much more when he's being serious as I might have said before. Being a more prominent figure in the original Dragon Ball series, he's still just as popular nowadays as well. Especially with the way he trained Goku and Krillin and is even the one who showed them the Kamehameha.
2. Jiraiya (Naruto):
Coming in close to number 1 is one of the Legendary Sannin from Naruto, Jiraiya. From one perverted old master to another, Jiraiya has quite the reputation in the series, as well as quite the life given everything that's happened to him. Not only was he given the title of one of the Sannin, but he's also been the sensei of so many strong shinobi like Nagato, Yahiko, Konan and, of course, Naruto himself. As a teacher, he's taught Naruto so much, mainly the summoning jutsu and the Rasengan, as well as being the one who trained Naruto for 3 years after Sasuke abandoned the village.
And my number 1 favourite master in anime is... Kakashi (Naruto):
And finally at number 1 is the teacher of Team 7 and the one who always hides his face behind a mask, Kakashi Hatake. Easily the most famous of all the Naruto teachers, Kakashi time as the sensei for team 7 is some of the most fun in the original Naruto series with him caring deeply for all of them and will do whatever it takes to protect them and teach them. While he's not necessarily their teacher anymore, he still has a lot still going on. He even became the Hokage for a while and was the one who helped in the final fight with Kaguya. He's also most famous for an old nickname he had, the Copycat Ninja given how he was given a Sharingan by his supposedly dead friend, Obito. He's also invented some incredible jutsu like the Lightning Blade. And his interactions with his students are not only very entertaining, but also really interesting as well with what they be talking about or just in the ways he'd be teaching them different techniques. And all that is why Kakashi is my master in anime. And so, everyone, those are my picks for my top 10 masters in anime.
