Kurosaki Ichigo is known for having some of the best anime power-ups. Whilst his power-ups generally focus on offense and destructive abilities, there is one that is also defensive.

It allows him to free people who are bound to hell by breaking the chains.
9) The Gantz Suit
The Gantz suit is something that every member of the Gantz team has. This suit is quite resilient and it gives certain benefits to the wearer. The suit gives enhanced physical abilities and provides strong armor against bullets and other attacks. There are other benefits such as increased jump capacity, better strength, and more. This is why it is one of the best anime armors.
8) Susanoo
The Susanoo from ‘Naruto’ is another such armor that doesn’t look like the traditional armor. The armor plays the role of both defending the user and it also enhances the attacks of the user. The Susanoo in its creation is essentially an armor that has the capability to attack its opponents. It is one of the best-constructed anime armors of all time.
7) Alphonse Elric’s Armor
Alphonse’s Armor technically is not armor. It is his body currently because his brother bound his soul to the piece of metal after he failed a human transmutation experiment. The armor is a gunmetal grey and is very large and towers over people. Even though the armor is currently Alphonse’s body, he doesn’t feel pain when the armor is hit. This makes it one of the best anime armors of all time.
6) Don Krieg’s Armor
‘One Piece’ is known for having some of the best and most cunning villains. Don Krieg is one of them. Krieg has armor that is very crafty. The armor can withstand a bazooka hit at point-blank range and not be dented. It is also Krieg’s best offense as he hides most of his weapons under his armor and uses these weapons in a foul manner. His number and variety of weapons is highly unpredictable and he keeps them hidden until the last second inside his armor.
5) The Armored Titan
The name itself suggests the nature of the Titan. The armored Titan is one of the 9 titan powers in ‘Attack On Titan’. It currently belongs to Reiner and is extremely strong. The armor cannot be breached with regular swords and strong bombs have to be used to even crack the armor. The Titan’s Armor or outer shell can easily block any bullet or sword. Another helpful trait of the armored Titan is that the shifter can switch his consciousness to different parts of the body to survive fatal injuries.
4) Tatsumi’s Incursio Armor
Tatsumi is one of the popular characters in ‘Akame Ga Kill’. He has armor that was passed down to him through Bulat. This particular armor is one of the most resilient armor. It can survive many direct attacks and can even survive a nuclear explosion. In addition to giving the user additional strength and mobility, the armor also provides Tatsumi with the ability to turn invisible. This helps him in various situations. This makes it one of the best anime armors of all time.
3) Golden Armor
The golden armor was worn by Gilgamesh, the strongest human to ever walk the earth in the ‘Fate/Stay Night’ series. Like his innate magic abilities, Gilagmesh’s armor is also one of a kind. It has amazing durability and can easily survive attacks from the strongest of mages in the series. In addition to that, it can survive the legendary Tsubame Gaeshi technique which is one of the strongest magic spells in the show. However, Gilgamesh’s armor has no trouble blocking the attack.
2) Nakagami Armor
The user of this armor is none other than Erza Scarlet. This armor is so strong that even Erza faces trouble trying to control it. As a result, she rarely uses the armor and only calls upon it in the direst of situations. The armor is exceptionally powerful and resilient. It requires an immense amount of magic power to be used and it drains the user. However, this exchange completely blocks all outside magic. It also provides the user with a sword capable of cutting through anything including time.
1) Athena Cloth
As the name suggests, the armor is a cloth worn by the goddess Athena. The cloth acts like proper armor and can sustain any and all kinds of attacks. Even in her fight with Hades, he could not damage the cloth which scared him. The only creature to be able to damage the cloth is Abzu, the creator of the universe. Hades has tried multiple times to damage the cloth or render it unusable, but he has always failed. This makes it one of the best anime armors of all time.
