Naruto Uzumaki, the main protagonist of Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto series, is a popular powerful character in the world of anime. But what happens if he is pitted against a character from another anime? Here are the anime characters who can beat Naruto in a battle.
Before we list down the characters, let’s delve deeper into who Naruto is and his abilities and powers.

Naruto Uzumaki: One of Shounen Anime's Most Iconic Heroes
Naruto is the main character in the Naruto manga and its anime adaptation. A young shinobi from the Uzumaki clan of Konohagakure, Naruto’s early childhood was quite rough.
As an orphan, he was shunned away by the villagers because he was the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox, a dangerous demon that ravaged Konoha several years ago.
Despite being bombarded by challenges and discrimination, young Naruto dreamed of becoming a Hokage. The series chronicles his journey as he works hard to improve his skills.
Along the way, he made many friends like Sasuke and Sakura. As the series continued, Naruto fought several powerful enemies, rogue ninjas, and evil groups.
He gave his all and even learned about his past. Naruto also came to terms with the Nine-Tailed Fox that resided inside of him.
Due to his unwavering desire to become a top ninja, he mastered a wide variety of jutsu.
Rasengan and Shadow Clone Technique are his signature jutsu moves that he uses against his enemies.
Now, let’s find out the anime characters who can beat Naruto in a fight!
Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach
Ichigo Kurosaki, the protagonist of Bleach, is immensely powerful in the series. This is a tough one because they come from different universes with their own set of rules and systems.
However, Ichigo is more powerful and has the ability to defeat Naruto in a battle. Ichigo is highly agile and his swordplay is terrifyingly accurate.
On the other hand, Naruto has his chakra-based abilities like Sage Mode, Rasengan, and Shadow Clone Technique, but in a hypothetical fight, Ichigo is way ahead in terms of sheer strength and powers.
Moreover, in the Bleach series, Ichigo’s powers drastically skyrocket toward the end, and it is safe to assume that Naruto cannot handle such powers.
Light Yagami from Death Note
Naruto’s combat skills, powers, and abilities easily surpass Light Yagami from Death Note. However, if Naruto walks into Light’s universe, it is game over for the Hokage.
Light possesses the Death Note, a notebook that he uses to kill anyone just by writing their full name.
Moreover, Naruto wouldn’t get the idea that death is staring at him because Light can be extremely discreet.
Given how smart Light is, he would know that Naruto from Konohagakure is coming to get him.
And before Naruto could launch his first attack, Light would cut short Naruto’s life using the power of Death Note.
Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen
Termed the strongest jujutsu sorcerer in Jujutsu Kaisen, Satoru Gojo is on another level when it comes to powers and abilities.
Naruto may be a Hokage in the Narutoverse but Satoru has unmatched speed, reflexes, and powers.
Moreover, Gojo’s incredible cursed techniques are enough to beat Naruto.
It can be said that Naruto is on par with Satoru in terms of speed, but in other departments, Naruto is way behind his opponent.
Once Satoru traps Naruto in his Domain Expansion: Unlimited Void it will be nearly impossible for Naruto to get out of it.
Fortunately for Naruto, Satoru is currently sealed in a Prison Realm.
Goku from Dragon Ball
Next up is Goku from the iconic franchise named Dragon Ball. Naruto may be the most powerful in the Naruto world but Goku is a Super Saiyan and is considered one of the fiercest fighters in the universe.
It is important to note that Goku must be at least in his Super Saiyan form to match Naruto.
Moreover, Goku in Super Saiyan Blue or Ultra Instinct form can easily obliterate Naruto into nothingness.
Saitama from One-Punch Man
The protagonist of One-Punch Man and undisputedly, the strongest character in the series has an upper hand when fighting against Naruto.
With limitless strength as his USP, Saitama can outrun and outpower Naruto in many ways.
Powered by superhuman stamina, Naruto would never be able to tire Saitama out in a fight.
And to top it all, Saitama can time travel and that means he can go into the past when Naruto was a weakling and beat him.
However, we are not sure if Saitama would use such a tactic to beat his opponent.
Korosensei from Assassination Classroom
The homeroom teacher of Class 3-E is ready to school Naruto for being a mischievous student.
After a horrible experiment gone wrong, Korosensei became incredibly powerful but he also turned into a yellow octopus in Assassination Classroom.
He is so powerful that he made the permanent crescent moon. Moreover, he wants to destroy the earth after teaching his class for a year.
He is also the original Reaper and is known as the best assassin. He is smarter than Naruto and can use his intellect to outsmart him and ultimately beat him in a battle.
Saiki Kusuo from The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
Saiki Kusuo, the titular character of The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., does not wish to lead the life of a hero. In fact, he wants to avoid any conflict at all costs.
Sadly, he has an array of powers like teleportation and psychokinesis. And if he is forced into a battle against Naruto, he can teleport him anywhere he wants and avoid the fight.
He will just not give Naruto any opportunity to harm him, so in a way, Saiki would count it as a victory.
Anos Voldigoad from The Misfit of Demon King Academy
The anti-hero protagonist of The Misfit of Demon King Academy, Anos Voldigoad was once the feared tyrannical Demon King.
He was known for being calm while possessing absolute confidence and power.
Later, he reincarnated as a student and now studies at the Demon King Academy.
Despite being a student, he still holds great magical powers that can put any other powerful character in a spot.
If he is up against Naruto, clearly, the overpowered Demon King of Tyranny will destroy him.
Rimuru Tempest from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
Naruto taking on slime... what can go wrong for the Seventh Hokage? Well, this slime, in particular, is Rimuru Tempest, and he has unimaginable powers under his belt (or jelly tummy).
From Merciless to Devourer, Rimuru has amassed amazing Ultimate Skills that can really throw tough questions at Naruto leaving him clueless.
Apart from Ultimate Skills, Rimuru as a slime also has varied magical powers like Storm Magic, Summoning Magic, Holy Magic, and many more.
In this battle, we would really put our money on Rimuru as he is the top one against Naruto.
Giorno Giovanna from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind
Giorno Giovanna is the main character of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind and is often called the strongest character in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.
Many believe that his Stand – Gold Experience Requiem – is stellar and almost unbeatable. Gold Experience Requiem is also pretty bizarre because of its mysterious capabilities.
This Stand reverses any action that can potentially kill or harm Giorno. The Stand makes it impossible for the opponent to inflict any damage.
Moreover, Gold Experience Requiem is dangerous because it works on its own and will not need Giorno’s defense to fight off any offense.
Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan
Eren Yeager, the main protagonist of the Attack on Titan series, is one astonishingly powerful character.
Not just powerful, over the course of the series, he has only gotten more ruthless and remains driven to his ultimate purpose.
Meanwhile, Naruto is powerful enough to take down one or two Titans at a time. But since Eren possesses the power of the Founding Titan he can control other Titans.
Also, Eren has the power of the Attack Titan, which gives him unsurmountable strength, and regenerative abilities.
If Eren is pitted against Naruto, the former will call for other Titans to assist him in the battle.
And from the looks of it, Naruto cannot handle more than 10 Titans at the same time.
