Eg: Noblesse
Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei
One Punch-man

I've watched and read more series that have an op protagonist than the ones i've mentioned but i want to make a point here so thats why i only mentioned those three.

I want action. A protagonist that has undeniable power and he doesn't have to meet some conditions to be able to activate his power(my friends are in danger, let me go in berkserk mode for only this once and then never have this kind of power again). No training part - maybe if it's as small as a montage in a movie.

So basically i'm looking for series that aren't very popular. Cause if they are even a bit then chances are i've already tried them or at least heard of them and didn't like it.

Bleach
I haven't completely finished it, but the main character, Ichigo, is pretty OP from the start.
Your description of what you don't want sounds a lot like Inuyasha, haha.

clearly you haven't watched enough anime yet if you think that my description of what i don't want only fits inuyasha.
and who hasn't watched bleach in this day and age? the Big three(Naruto, One Piece and Bleach) are the starters for almost everybody. What i mean is that the majority of people start watching anime with those three.

Bleach?

Ichigo starts out super weak, he gets 10,000 times stronger later on, and he still gets stomped by some of the more powerful beings.

Mondaiji? MC got fkn curbstomped by one of the gods. (Though, this happens in the novel and not anime)

Absolute strongest means that there is no one in the entire manga/anime universe who can beat MC at any point.

But yea, if you want MC's who can defeat anyone in the universe at any time (meaning no time skips, power ups blablabla), then check out these:

Hellsing (I personally didn't like this, but it does meet what you want.)
Rain
Hareluya II Boy (Delinquent, also one of my personal favorites. MC stomps everyone, making it seem like the super strong villains are nothing more than ants.)

If you're okay with novels, then I'd recommend the first novel I ever read. This is what made me start reading, even though I used to hate the idea.

Arifureta. MC is super weak at the beginning, then after a couple of chapters he is betrayed by his own friends, and basically sent down to a place similar to hell. There he meets all sorts of demonic creatures capable of destroying mountains and so on.

His first encounter was with a bear (weak one) where he loses an arm, then he escapes and starts drinking from a special water source. He then starts eating flesh of the demon, and thanks to the special water that makes him practically invincible, he can survive the pain of eating demon flesh, something no one else can do. Then he proceeds to eat all the creatures in that hell hole, returns to normal grounds, where all the people are... And he's now super OP and just go around doing whatever he wants to do. Army of 100,000 wants to attack a city?

Gone in seconds.

This isn't really a shounen manga, but Akumetsu is a pretty op character all around.

Hagura Yuusha no Aesthetica
Hellsing Ultimate

Since you've already mentioned Mahouka and OPM, and said you've seen Overlord, those two I just mentioned are the next ones that immediately come to mind.

To an extent, I suppose Darker Than Black would count. Hei, the MC is pretty strong right from the start, although I wasn't too impressed with that series as a whole.

Ben-To I guess could fit your criteria. It does have the "I get stronger when my friends are in danger" trope, but the MC is still pretty strong in his own regard. It's a light hearted battle shounen, but I enjoyed it a lot.

Seeing as you mentioned Mahouka, I guess I'll also mention Gakuen Toshi Asterisk and Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry. The MCs are both OP from the start who don't lose a single fight / only lose 1 fight ever.
They're both mediocre anime though. Just your generic highschool battle harem.
For all the ones I elaborated a little on, they don't fit the criteria quite as well as the 3 in your OP, but I'd still say they all qualify, to some extent.

It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether!

Have you tried Hataraku Maou-sama?

The protagonist is litterally the devil himself.

It's quite the comedy/action anime.

Hellsing Ultimate
Mondajii
Gintama

and try reading Toriko.
