I think it is both the Asper Abilities and Magic Abilities from The Toaru Series. I love how they managed to weave the two concept of science and magic so masterfully in a way I have never seen before. Also I love that the science half is very much based in real science and physics. Also how the magic half is based in real mythology.

Toaru series has some pretty interesting fights with an emphasis on real world physics as well as the implications of religious/mythological stories to determine which side can win. Other than that jojo with its extremely specific stand powers and how the characters use them are pretty fun to watch.

I honestly think Re:Zero has the most complex power system from the animes I watched throughout my experience. Well I can only say that because most of the animes that have magic are easy to understand.

Boku no Pico...


The most powerful characters there is 12 year old boy and middle-aged man...
They have such great chemistry and it is such a treat to see them grow and at the same time connect in ways never imagined before...

I've only seen two anime with power systems...

Of those two I definitely think Stands (JoJo) are more complex than Quirks (My Hero Academia)...

Toaru is more complex than HxH's nen or stands from Jojo system imo. It at the very least feels more rooted in reality which helps the immersion. I think Mahouka is similar in that way too. The latter just feels way too wacky for me with all the weird ass conditions and quirks each power has.

i would say its nen, its already pretty complicated in the anime but if you've read the manga then you'll know its even more mind bending. the toaru power systems are pretty complicated too though.

I don't think there is any "Jojo system" btw. More like Araki turned whatever came to his mind into a stand. And gave all the ultimate Bosses, Stands that have something to do with time...

Out of all that I have seen HxH nen system seemed really complex but they explained it well. On the other hand , I still can't make head or tails out of the Shinsu thingy or whatever the system is in ToG.

On another note, my personal favourite power system is Devil fruits from one piece...

Stand powers or Hunter X Hunter Nen powers I guess. You can't really say which is the strongest power and needs a lot of thought and understanding of the character's own power to fight and win against the enemy.
Even if I'm alone, I'll go, even if I want to die.
I can hear your voice, saying I shouldn't die.
Even if it's difficult, even if I cry from loneliness
I can feel warmth from deep inside my heart.

Going round-and-round and flowing, time is ever-changing.
I can't remember what happened anymore, but
If I try and close my eyes, I can hear someone's laughing voice
For some reason, now, that is My Most Precious Treasure.

Toaru easily, Kamachi is a genius for making a power system this expansive and complex while being simple at its core and blending both sci-fi and fantasy elements while also being rooted in real world physics and mythology

you can say what you want about dxd but the power system is very complex and intricate. evil piece system, cursed gear and all that shit, you can even have no demonic power but still gain other type of power and be on par with the big shots if you train correctly, example is sairaorg. even the main guy needed about how many volumes to become strong.
I need an expert here.

the power systems actual depth is only really explored in the VN and not in the adaptation.

I gotta agree with everybody who said toaru, especially in the more recent volumes where science and magic are really blending together

What HxH does with Nen is my favorite for sure, but pretty sure you need a degree to understand Mahouka's power system.

Type-Moon (Fate, Tsukihime, Mahoyo, and so on), and it's not even a competition.

From the difference between magic/sorcery of the age of gods and the modern magecraft, types of magus which consists of normal magus, witches, etc. Five basic elements and imaginary element. The difference between Heroic Spirits (normal servants, Counter Guardian, Divine Spirits). Ugh, I doubt even the majority of anime watchers know how Gae Bolg even works, or How's Shirou's projection magecraft can match the original.

I can even go further with magical crests, circuits, the decline of the age of gods and how it affects magic/sorcery. the 5 True Magic/Sorcery, True Ancestors, Dead Apostle and Dead Apostle Ancestors, why Sakura got kicked to Matou's household yada yada.

Most complex is either the Akuma in D.Gray-Man. Or the Hollow bin Bleach.

Most cool is blood-line limit in "Naruto".

Mahouka Rettosei aka that anime with Tatsuya god.

I don't understand whatever he is doing whenever he casts magic.

Probably mahouka koukou no rettousei. I heard that they only touch the surface in the anime so the LN might be incredibly full of further information on how magic works it was amazing for me as is in anime tho.
The beauty of humans is that they say one thing then do another, but at the same time that can also be their ugliest side.

Tower of God have pretty complex power system, they have ranks and many other shits. Sadly the anime skipping almost all the parts explanation, go read the webtoon instead.

Probably nen in Hunter x Hunter. There are so many techniques and everyone uses them in their own way to a ridiculous extent.

Toaru series uses real life physics and esper abilities to make some wonderful fights.

Fate series, uhh, it's quite confusing. Most of the characters are OP in their own way, you can't really say who's stronger and who's weaker.
From Gate of Babylon to Gae Bolg, Excalibur to Karna's near invincible power, all of them are OP in their own way.
