Success?

I think that person only watches anime like naruto and yugioh

I was going off of Yu-Gi-Oh! and Dragon Ball Z. Never seen Naruto. I had this idea after watching that Netflix anime, Kakegurui though. So that's three. And you said a fourth. So I'm kinda right. I'm sure there are more.

Well you are right in the sense that SOME anime follows such tropes, but certainly not the majority of anime...

One Punch Man seems to be that way...idk if the main character ever comes to a point where he meets an enemy that's actually as strong as him, but the same idea kind of applies...he's this super strong guy and the entire point of watching is to see if he gets defeated because people like to see powerful/strong people get owned.

Well one punch man is actually satire on all anime that follows the theme you are describing, so you aren't wrong, but it's 100% intentional.

Fullmetal Alchemist

Steins Gate

Made in Abyss

Cowboy Bebop

Great Teacher Onizuka (kinda follows the theme you are describing)

Ghost in the Shell

Are all some examples of good anime that don't follow the theme you are describing.

COMING NEXT DECEMBER IN ONE PUNCH MAN 2:

Saitama jerks off one sperm cell onto Goku and Superman and they pinball through every universe in the multiverse and fall off the edge of the known plane of existence! Then suddenly, Raditz comes in and explains that he's been working out and totally DESTRROOOOOOYS Saitama...and very easily, I mean...woah so easily.

That's the joke in the series, yes.

What year is this

Maybe don't get into anime.

Yes. A mosquito and a cat.
Also, sounds like you want something like Shinsekai yori but that seems a bit too high brow for you humph humph

I'm 29. Tbh I do like DBZ and I'm watching DB Super because of nostalgia. I feel if I started watching DB Super today, it wouldn't work out too well. Just imagine if baseball was introduced today. It's sort of like that LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

Anyway, I do enjoy Kakegurui though because there is the interesting reveals of how all the cheating is done and the layers to the characters' thoughts. It does seem like a jerk off fest though. It's almost hentai.
