However,animeis another entertaining form ofTVwhich produces some of the most colorful, distinct, and loveable characters.

King isn’t necessarily a physical or strategic threat, but he may be an underrated social player.

He is considered one of the smartest and most strategic anime characters and the protagonist ofDeath Note.

However, his goals get out of hand and snowball into senseless murder.

Death Noteis one of themost rewatchable anime series, and his presence onSurvivorwould also enhance the show’s rewatchability.

Blackbeard is also one of themost hatedOne Piececharacters, which would make him a poor contestant on Survivor.

However, despite his overwhelming strength and cunning attitude, his best feature is his opportunistic nature.

Blackbeard willnever let any opportunity slip, making him a great, albeit nasty,Survivorplayer.

While Anya would make a good candidate herself, she is far too young to be a player onSurvivor.

Gon undergoes dangerous missions to find clues that will bring him closer to his father.

Gon is arguably the least strategic player on this list, and that is why he isn’t higher.

But his physical prowess and social game make him a top contender onSurvivor.

The anime follows a classroom of geniuses competing against other homerooms to prove their intelligence in an experimental institution.

Ayanokoji is nearly the perfectSurvivorplayer.

He isone of the smartest anime characters, able to plan complex strategies and manipulate others.

However, he is also surprisingly athletic, making him a dangerous opponent.

Despite his lack of gameplay, Naruto has many great aspects that make him a topSurvivorcontestant.

Even then, he has proven his battle IQ, which may help in some of his strategic planning.

While Luffy also has the element, he is far too selfish and transparent to win.

Naruto, on the other hand, wouldearn everyone’s vote at the final tribal council.

He is a manipulative character with generational hatred against the Joestars.

More than that, Dio is a physical beast who can easily win every challenge.
