6 Anime Heroes Much Stronger Than Jujutsu Kaisen’s Gojo
Satoru Gojo is widely regarded as the strongest sorcerer of his time within Jujutsu Kaisen. He possesses a host of abilities that put him well beyond the reach of high-level sorcerers and can single-handedly eliminate special-grade curses. He is primarily aided by the Six Eyes, a rare ocular trait that grants him superhuman perception and extreme precision in energy manipulation.
The eyes are especially valuable as he also inherited the hereditary technique Limitless, which gives its user complete control over space at the cost of immense cursed energy. He is the first to have been born with both traits in the last four hundred years, and combining them, he is able to accomplish several feats that make him nigh-unbeatable.
His most famous ability is arguably Infinity, which manifests as an invisible barrier that prevents any attack from reaching him by infinitely slowing it down. His ultimate technique is Unlimited Void, a Domain Expansion that floods an endless flow of information into the mind of his target, rendering them helpless for an extended period of time.
In terms of raw offensive output, his Hollow Purple stands supreme, combining the features of two other moves to form a mass of raw power that annihilates everything in his path. Despite all this, the formidable sorcerer is not invincible. He has been bested before, and numerous heroes across anime history possess power on a scale far greater than his.
6 Ichigo Kurosaki
Ichigo Kurosaki is a legendary hero who needs little introduction, hailing from one of shonen’s iconic Big Three, Bleach. He is the protagonist of the series and is utterly devoted to protecting the ones he loves. The teenager was originally a regular high school student, but took up the role of a Soul Reaper after a freak accident.
His soul represents a unique convergence of the major spiritual races in the show. This gives him access to several power-ups he has employed to defeat some truly formidable foes. As a Soul Reaper, he wields his signature Zanpakuto, a cleaver-like sword in its base form, and is capable of slaying regular Hollows with ease.
Beyond this is the Bankai state, where the sword assumes a much sleeker form while granting him immense levels of power. He has also achieved extremely powerful transformations drawing on his Hollow heritage, most notably his wild Vasto Lorde form where he decimated the 4th Espada, Ulquiorra Cifer, during their ultimate battle.
Another notable transformation was the Final Getsuga Tensho he achieved during the decisive battle against Aizen. In the final arc, the true form of Ichigo’s Zanpakuto is revealed, which, alongside his newest Horn of Salvation state, makes him stronger than ever. His many evolutions and feats across the series effortlessly outclass Gojo’s highest achievements in both scale and power.
5 Shinra Kusakabe
Shinra Kusakabe is a fire-powered hero who serves as the protagonist of Fire Force. He belongs to a group of firefighting combatants that mostly possess fire-related abilities of their own and battle supernatural threats. He started out as a third-generation pyrokinetic with the ability to expel powerful flames from his feet.
Using this alone, he was already a formidable individual, boasting immense speed and striking power that only grew and grew as time went on. He also possessed monstrous strength, physically overpowering powerhouse figures like Captain Leonard Burns, and achieving the astounding feat of kicking a falling moon back into orbit.
At some point in the series, he discovered he had a connection to a special plane called Adolla. This granted him access to the Adolla Burst, a primeval flame directly linked to Adolla. Through this connection, Shinra can trigger an Adolla Link to receive Adolla Grace, granting him light speed and the ability to bypass the laws of physics.
The absolute peak of his power is his Shinrabansho-Man form, where he aligns his soul with the spirits of his mother and brother to transform into a supreme being. In this form, he can literally reshape reality, as he proved when he remade the world in his own image at the climax of the series.
4 Sung Jinwoo
Sung Jinwoo is the tremendously strong main character of Solo Leveling. The story is set in a world where mysterious gates randomly opened all over the world, and the adventurers tasked with exploring them are called Hunters. Jinwoo was originally so weak that while he started out as a hunter, he was known as the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind.
That all changed when he encountered a special Double Dungeon in a regular raid and received boundless potential for growth following a harrowing near-death experience. He became able to access a magical System that presented him with various quest challenges, offering the reward of getting continuously stronger upon successful completion of each task.
He took full advantage of the system and gained strength greater than even the best Hunters in the series. He also notably gained the ability to summon the shadows of fallen enemies, manifesting as subservient entities that rival the powers they had when alive. Other rewards he gained include skills and equipment that make him peerless in combat.
3 Shigeo Kageyama
Shigeo Kageyama, known popularly as Mob, is the titular protagonist of the series Mob Psycho 100. He is a prodigious esper and is widely considered the strongest in his verse, which itself contains several other powerful psychics. His telekinetic abilities are directly tied to his emotions and, being a pacifist, he rarely ever operates at full power.
When he does, however, it comes as a result of full-blown emotional overloads that manifest as “100% explosions.” These explosions arise as a result of intense rage, sadness, gratitude, and a host of other feelings that overwhelm Mob at the time. As one would expect, his more destructive capabilities surface when gripped by raw fury and generally negative emotions.
He can summon massive storms and move colossal structures in his most volatile states. He can create nearly impenetrable force fields, enhance his physical strength, and manipulate matter at a molecular level. Furthermore, he is capable of both energy absorption and transference, making for a range of abilities that make him far more threatening than the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer.
2 Saitama
Saitama is the unassuming, laid-back protagonist of One-Punch Man. Despite the series’ reputation suffering a sharp decline in recent times, his status has not. He is a man who relies on pure physical strength, seemingly achieved through an intense training regimen that left him completely bald without a single strand of hair on his head.
The rewards for his efforts were unparalleled strength, virtually allowing him to decimate any opponent with a single punch. This has been showcased in his battles against superhuman beings like giants and aliens, once even destroying a massive meteor headed for his city, though with very notable collateral damage.
He has gone on to defeat galactic conquerors and more powerful entities without breaking a sweat. He possesses an advanced tier of moves dubbed the Serious Series, a collection of moves that indicate he is applying more effort than usual. He has made canyons, altered the Earth’s atmosphere, and continues to display increasingly absurd feats.
1 Son Goku
Son Goku is both one of the most popular and one of the strongest anime characters ever, spearheading the massive anime franchise Dragon Ball. He belongs to an alien race called Saiyans, and was introduced as a little boy helping a young girl in her quest for the titular wish-granting Dragon Balls across the world.
As the series evolved and became more action-heavy, Goku adjusted accordingly, acquiring formidable martial arts skills and various abilities enabled by the use of Ki. He is constantly in pursuit of self-improvement, and owing to his Saiyan heritage, has access to several powerful Super Saiyan forms that each grant him tremendous levels of strength.
He possesses unfathomable speed, strength, and potent iconic attacks like the Kamehameha and the Spirit Bomb. He has also defeated ruthless alien conquerors and powerful entities that threatened the cosmos. Furthermore, he has gone toe-to-toe with literal Gods, and has proven his might against the strongest warriors from other universes.
