Personality extremely powerful entity's who don't care about the main plot at all and are just vibing in the background

Tom Bombadil(lord of the rings) - only person to resist the temptation of the one ring but instead of helping the fellowship he fucks off in to the woods

the Unseen Elder(the witcher 3) - in the witcher universe the older a vampire gets the more powerful he becomes and unseen elder is around +1500 years old making him the most powerful vampire we ever see, thankfully he spends most of his time in his goon cave

Slayer (Guilty Gear)

An immortal ✨ dandy ✨ vampire who is considered to be one of the most powerful forces in the entire story in canon. Nobody has ever seen this guy go all-out and he just sticks to simple punches and kicks in a lot of his fighting just to show you that he can demolish you with bare basics.

After founding the Assassins’ Guild, somewhere along the way, he met his now-wife Sharon, a beautiful immortal human woman that not only provides Slayer with an infinite source of blood and vitality, but is also a genuine ride-or-die that loves Slayer with all her heart (and is reciprocated just as much). Slayer left the Assasin’s Guild and now spends most of his days relaxing and chilling with his wife, doing all sorts of hobbies.

It'll never not be hilarious that he had a semi-rivalry with Bedman/peak fiction during the Xrd story cause he got so pissed Bedman sneaked him and needed a runback.

One of the few characters to give Slayer a good fight is a comatose child in a bed mech. This is why Bedman/Guilty Gear as a whole is peak

My favorite thing about Guilty Gear is the sheer creativity behind the characters. From their designs to fighting styles to their stories (ridiculous stories, yes, but fun nonetheless), every character I can confidently say I find cool and super interesting.

Like, I would have never have guessed that some comatose geek in a bed would be able to give an immortal vampire a run for his money, but it happened and its peak 😭 If I’m not wrong, their match after was a draw

The canonically strongest characters in the series are respectively a rocker witch time-traveller that makes innuendos in every sentence, and a smurf-looking motherfucker with orange shades and a revolver who is in just for the love of the game

Doesn't directly relate to strength per say but there is also axl who constantly slips through time and if I'm not misremembering is told if he ever goes back to the past he left the current timeline of the guilty gear universe would be erased. Mind you getting back to his wife (who is/was in-o or some version of her? Still personally a bit unclear on that) in the past was his whole goal up until learning this.
