I know its a rarity to have someone that "perfect" but ive been thinking about it lately and other than toriko (maybe?) I cant think of any character that is both smart and buff. Smart and strong yes, smart and ripped mos def, but specifically smart and buff? Thats rare if it exists at all. Thanks for your guys time.

True, I should have mentioned jojo along with toriko, but after part 4 they kinda lost that buff figure

Tokuchi Toua. He's the smartest anime character I've seen (imo), and while he's not buff, but he certainly has the body and athletic prowess needed to be as successful of a pitcher/baseball player as he is. And very few things show that like the opening.

Also I'm just a huge Tokuchi Toua fangirl, so

Edit: Oh, I read the rest of the OP. Well, nvm. I'll just count this as another post to get the word out about Tokuchi.

Edit 2: Oh, wait, there is someone else I thought of. Worick from Gangsta has a photographic memory (that counts, right?) and he's just

Just look at him. He's beautiful. 💜

Morel from HxH? I think he was pretty smart in battle situations.

Is Kenshiro smart? I haven't watched Fist of the North Star. Lots of 80's shounen protags were buff, so there has to be a few.
EDIT: I looked up kenshiro and he was apparently a lecturer. Also he's the cool main character, so he's probably intelligent.

Its already been mentioned but the first 3 Jojos fit this perfectly.

I'm no expert but please explain what is the difference between being ripped and being buffed? I thought that was just two different ways of basically expressing the same kind of look.

Also maybe All Might?

I probably regret this post by now.

He's a commander, a teacher, and a guardian. I don't know how buff he really is since he never takes off his shirt, but I do know that he's strong as hell.

Ripped means that your muscles are apparent. Whether it be through clothing and/or without clothing ripped just means that you have little to no fat from trainging so that all your muscle shows through. For example, a lot of soccer players are ripped, One punch man, saitama, is ripped. Essentially you can have a lean/small figure and still be ripped.

Buff means that you got big. Not big as in fat, but big as in you put expanded your muscles to the point of actual physical growth. So for example, toriko, or nappa from DBZ, or any character from fist of the north star really.

I would say all might? But sometimes deku out performs him in terms of intelligence.

Joseph Joestar is a perfect example of a character possessing both of these qualities.
