Spoiler alert: This article may contain spoilers for one or more anime mentioned in the list.

The recently released Blockbuster movie Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero broke the box office record for best anime openings proving that Shonen is still the most influential anime category. With many highest-grossing titles like Naruto, Dragon Ball, and One Piece under its belt, Shonen is not losing its popularity anytime soon.

Anyone familiar with the genre knows that Shonen would be lacking without the unrivaled displays of strength by the main characters. Many of these powers are passed on through a lineage that eventually develops into a large, formidable clan. It's hard to put one over the other powerful families that Shonen has established.
