5 Naraku

He tried to erase his humanity

Naraku was the main antagonist of Inuyasha. He was a ferocious villain who loved to inflict pain and suffering on others, but above all he was extremely lethal and became very powerful. He was a Hanyo, a half-human and half-demon fusion, without the typical weaknesses that accompany that race, but he despised his humanity and the weakness that came with it and tried to erase it.

Naraku sought the Shikon Jewel, a powerful spherical jewel that grants its user unlimited power, and used any means possible to obtain it, eventually seeking out powerful demons that he could absorb and assimilate into himself to gain power and get closer to his goal. Inuyasha's history was much darker than most people remember, and beyond Naraku's empowerment after assembling all the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, he was a ruthless mastermind who orchestrated and killed many with precision, a villain who would do anything to win.

4 God

The enigmatic dispenser of immense power

Dio is a mysterious being in One Punch Man who seemingly interferes with the affairs of the Hero Association and is an elusive but important antagonist in the Monster Association story arc. Few have seen him and even fewer are aware of his existence; he seems to select targets, mostly vulnerable or in dangerous situations, and offers them power. It is shown that anyone who chooses to accept his power allows him to manipulate their vehicle at will.

Dio has been shown to be extremely powerful; with his motives and greater identity unknown to all, anyone he grants his power gains unimaginable power and rises to the level of S-Class and beyond in terms of power level. Throughout, he only seems to aid monsters or villains and kills anyone who is about to reveal his existence, with only a select few such as Blast, Pyskos, and Homeless Emperor, nearly all of whom are killed.

3 David Jehoahaz Abraham

The strongest magician in the world of Solomon

David is the father of King Solomon and the grandfather of Aladdin. He is a major antagonist in the final arc of Magi. David was granted the blessing of magic by Il Illah and used his curiosity about magic and the world around him to further his ideal of manipulating and changing fate. He is one of the four singularities that possess the ability to influence the flow of Rukh and ultimately influence predetermined fate.

David is an extremely powerful wizard and his son, King Solomon, calls him the strongest wizard in the world. He has powerful magic, allowing him to achieve immortality and travel between dimensions. In addition, he has a deep understanding of magic and can create complex spells and barriers that only the strongest can handle.

2 Aizen

The greatest manipulator of Soul Society

Aizen was formerly the captain of the fifth division and a recurring antagonist in Bleach. He was shown to be kind and tender-hearted before it was revealed that he had ulterior motives. After a battle with Kurosaki Ichigo, he was ultimately defeated and exiled from Soul Society. Throughout numerous story arcs and chapters, Aizen is shown to be extremely evil and wicked, doing extremely terrible things regardless of who he uses or what means he uses to achieve his goals.

Throughout the anime, Aizen grew more powerful with each encounter; at his base level, he was a strong captain, making him a worthy opponent from his first appearance. Later, Aizen merged with Hōgyoku, becoming even more powerful, granting him enough power to lead the Espadas through his sheer strength alone. Even after he was eventually sealed and trapped in Central 46, he had enough power to affect the world outside of his prison, with his spiritual power being very distinct and felt even by those far away from him.

1 Prince Hui Guo Rou

The grotesque specialist prince

Tserriendich is the fourth prince of the Kakin Empire; he is a unique character with a curious intellect and a wide range of interests and knowledge. He is a courteous, eloquent and extremely intelligent character, but underneath his mask of courtesy and kindness, he is a sociopath who delights in murdering and dismembering people, which he sees as a form of artistic expression.

Tserriednich is a genius in every sense of the word; his intellect extends to all areas of his life, especially his control. He possessed precise control over his Nen in his early stages and mastered the concepts of Gyo, Ren, and Ten in a matter of days; later, he was able to unknowingly summon a powerful Nen beast that heavily assisted his efforts. As he mastered the intricacies of Nen in a matter of days, he developed an impressive ability that allowed him to see ten seconds into the future. Tserriendich's power lies not specifically in raw power, but in his rapid grasp of any concept and the limitless resources at his disposal.
