Like the title says, i've watched many shounen anime with similar main characters... which all may be strong, or have some power where people are after it. Either way, same thing. I'm a huge fan of shounen.

I suppose to cancel most answers, i should tell you what i've seen that i loved, and you can get an idea out of them...

~Nabari no Ou
~Death Note
~Naruto
~Blue Exorcist
~D.Gray-man
~Bleach
~Nura: rise of the yokai clan

i guess those will do ^

suggest some please!!

Hellsing-The main character (Alucard) is a vampire who specializes in killing other vampires. He does use demonic powers in every episode.

Ao no exorcist-The main character (Rin) is a half-demon who tries to use his powers to fight off Satan's demons.

I don't know if this is up your alley or not, but you may want to check out Hataraku Maou-sama!. The MC is the demon Satan, but it is largely a comedic anime so may not be the style you want.

Bakemonogatari - Vampire powers. However, this is less focused on action. Watch if you're interested in slice of life and more of a plot anime.

haha Beelzebub? But to be honest, i think it's more of a comedy anime XD

Also, Law of Ueki? Not really demonic powers though, but if u like typical shonen, i think u will like it as well.

Oh c'mon. Bakemonogatari has pretty much 6 minutes worth of action through-out the entire anime. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, however it's all talk and is probably not what this guy is looking for :).

(I do LOVE the series however, so don't get me wrong)

Hell Teacher Nube seems to fit.

Yuyu Hakusho - in the later part of the series, the MC develops Demonic Powers and discovers that he is the heir to the King of the Demon World.

I second this. The main character is half demon and is a WEE BIT overpowered. The anime is pretty good overall as well.

Note: The main character is a TOTAL perv as well. Dont like that stuff? Avoid this anime

Actually he is a demon, if ya didn't fricking notice! Even in the manga you can tell (cause, HINT HINT: they mentioned it at some point). It's really not that hard to notice, if only you'd payed attention...And if you'd actually watched till the end you'd have known, because of a LITTLE thing that was said at the end.

UHH SPOILER ALERT, meliodas is the freaking son of the demon king, and his age is 3000, not half demon, 100% demon, the reason why he has not so much demon power, is because 99% of his power has been sealed by merlin.
