Demon Slayer: Top 10 Anime Characters Who Can Easily Defeat Muzan

With the conclusion of the fourth and final season of the Demon Slayer anime, fans are now eagerly discussing the ultimate villain of the series, Muzan Kibutsuji. His intimidating entrance into the Corps’ headquarters and his subsequent transportation of the Hashira to the Infinity Castle has only increased the excitement for the upcoming film trilogy finale.

Similarly, passionate Demon Slayer followers engage in discussions about the potential intensity of Muzan’s true power and the immense challenges that Tanjiro Kamada and the Hashira will face in their attempt to defeat him. Although it is undeniable that a great battle awaits Tanjiro and his comrades, it is possible that certain generic anime characters could easily defeat Muzan without much effort.

Powerful Characters from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Jujutsu Kaisen Could Easily Overpower Demon Slayer’s Muzan Kibutsuji

With Golden Experience Requiem at his disposal, Giorno Giovanna would expend minimal energy and effort in defeating Muzan Kibutsuji from Demon Slayer. The Return To Zero ability alone is strong enough to render any attacks from Muzan useless, securing Giorno’s victory from the start.

Although defeating Muzan may seem challenging, Giorno has a surefire way to achieve victory through the Death Loop. By successfully killing or nearly killing Muzan, he can activate this ability and trap him in a never-ending cycle of death in a new “reality”. With just a small amount of effort at the start, Giorno can easily and swiftly defeat Muzan.

2) Simon’s Character Development in Gurren Lagann

Despite having numerous abilities and powers, Demon Slayer’s Muzan Kibutsuji remains a challenging opponent. Nevertheless, even the strongest ant is no match for a human, who can easily crush it and brush it aside.

Using this method, Simon from Gurren Lagann is able to defeat Muzan by harnessing the power of the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann form at the end of the series. The colossal machine, which is roughly half the size of Earth, makes it effortless for Simon to locate and eliminate Muzan, even in his largest form shown in the series. In fact, it only takes a single step for Simon to crush Muzan like a bug.

Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto

Sasuke Uchiha from Naruto is the first character on this list who would, admittedly, need some effort to defeat Demon Slayer’s Muzan. One of Muzan’s most challenging abilities to overcome is his exceptional regeneration, which surpasses that of a typical demon.

Despite Sasuke’s possession of an ability known as Amaterasu, which unleashes an unquenchable black flame upon its target, he could potentially use this to his advantage against Muzan. By enveloping Muzan’s entire body in Amaterasu, it would at least hinder his regeneration and potentially even result in his ultimate defeat.

Saitama’s Character Development in One Punch Man

Saitama, the protagonist of One Punch Man, possesses a unique advantage in any hypothetical battle – the power of parody. His character is a satirical take on popular protagonists such as Son Goku from Dragon Ball, who are known for always emerging victorious. Therefore, Saitama’s absurd level of strength ensures his constant triumph, regardless of his opponent.

Keeping this in mind, it is undeniable that his victory over Demon Slayer’s Muzan was both absolute and seemingly effortless.

Berserk Character: Griffith

Berserk’s Griffith possesses a formidable advantage in his membership within the God Hand. This enables him to tap into divine abilities and unparalleled levels of strength, as demonstrated multiple times in the series with remarkable efficacy.

A significant achievement of his was his involvement in the downfall of Emperor Ganishka, particularly in the pivotal moment of Ganishka’s demise and the events leading up to it when he was in his terrifying, otherworldly form.

Despite Demon Slayer’s Muzan being considered the ultimate embodiment of one of Japan’s most dreaded folkloric beings, it is a challenge to prove that his abilities can rival those of a literal deity. With this in consideration, it is highly likely that Griffith would emerge as the victor in this comparison, effortlessly displaying his powers as he often does in Berserk following his rise to power.

Satoru Gojo – Jujutsu Kaisen

Without a doubt, Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most dominant anime characters ever created. His impressive skill set and abilities make him nearly invulnerable, leaving no weaknesses to be exploited. Additionally, his extensive battle experience only adds to his already unstoppable prowess.

Similarly, Muzan from Demon Slayer would have a slim chance in a physical confrontation. Yet, with Gojo’s cunning use of his abilities, he could easily overpower Muzan. By trapping him in the Unlimited Void, Gojo could utilize his unlimited Cursed Energy to keep Muzan trapped within the Domain until dawn. At that point, Gojo could deactivate the Domain Expansion and witness Muzan’s demise as he is consumed by the sunlight.

Denji – Chainsaw Man

Despite being a questionable choice, Chainsaw Man’s Denji has a potential advantage in defeating Muzan with ease. This is due to his established ability to consume Devil’s blood without experiencing any major consequences, given his status as a Hybrid.

Similarly, it can be assumed that Muzan’s Demon blood would also have minimal to no impact. This would enable Denji to match Muzan’s stamina by consistently consuming his enemy’s blood whenever possible.

Nonetheless, the key to achieving victory ultimately rests in Denji’s erasure abilities. By consistently consuming fragments and portions of Muzan during the confrontation, Denji has the potential to completely eradicate the Demon Slayer antagonist from existence. Although it may not be as effortless as some other methods, this approach offers Denji a relatively straightforward and uncomplicated means of defeating Muzan.

Alucard (Hellsing)

As the ruler of the vampires, Alucard from Hellsing possesses a variety of powers and abilities that would make it effortless to defeat Muzan from Demon Slayer. The Level Zero of the Hellsing Control Art Restriction System is a prime demonstration of how easily Alucard could achieve this. It essentially maximizes all of his typical vampiric abilities, rendering him nearly invincible and an unstoppable menace.

Before any other abilities were considered, two crucial powers were already prominent in their ability to defeat Muzan with ease. The first was his hemokinesis, which allowed him to drain Muzan’s body of its blood and ultimately strip away his demonic powers. The second was his hematophagy, which enabled him to consume Muzan’s raw blood, preventing its return and ultimately leading to his defeat.

Lelouch vi Britannia from Code Geass

Lelouch vi Britannia from Code Geass stands out on this list due to the nature of his Geass powers. By making eye contact with someone, Lelouch can command them to do his bidding, making him a formidable opponent. This is evident in the case of Muzan, the second Demon Slayer, who falls under Lelouch’s control and is unable to disobey his orders. Ultimately, this could lead to Muzan’s defeat with ease.

Light Yagami: Protagonist of Death Note

Light Yagami, from the series Death Note, is a fascinating character in this context. Despite being a regular human with no extraordinary abilities, he holds our attention with his actions. He never displays any impressive physical strength or fighting skills throughout the story. Therefore, in a purely physical confrontation, Muzan would undoubtedly defeat him.

Despite being outnumbered, Light has a powerful ally in the form of the Death Note. With this advantage, all he would have to do is uncover the complete name of Demon Slayer’s ultimate adversary and write it down within 10 seconds, along with a cause of death. After that, he would only need to figure out a way to stay alive for 40 seconds. If he could manage to do this, he could defeat Muzan with a simple gesture and escape unscathed.

In summation

Despite being a formidable foe in his own series, Demon Slayer’s Muzan Kibutsuji falls short in comparison to the other powerhouses of the anime. However, he still poses a significant danger and continues to be the ultimate villain in the series, even though there are some anime characters who could easily defeat him.
