The King of Curses, Sukuna, the primary antagonist from “Jujutsu Kaisen,” is renowned for his immense strength and unstoppable cursed techniques. Ryomen Sukuna, more often referred to as simply Sukuna, is the strongest jujutsu sorcerer from over a thousand years ago. According to legend, Sukuna was an imaginary demon during the Heian era. But in reality, he was a human sorcerer known to be the most powerful of all time.
Sukuna appears to posses a variety of straightforward, lethal, and efficient ways at his disposal. He uses the Shrine Innate Cursed Technique, which combines Fuga, Dismantle, and Cleave. Despite being one of the most powerful sorcerer in anime, there are several anime mages who could take on Sukuna and his powerful cursed technique.
Here are 5 strongest anime mages who can defeat sukuna:
Zeref Dragneel (Fairy Tail)
The notorious dark mage from “Fairy Tail,” Zeref Dragneel, possesses great magical power and the ability to manipulate both life and death. He gains immortality and the power to instantly murder any living thing with the Curse of Ankhseram. Zeref Dragneel’s combination of immortality, mastery of dark and forbidden magic, time manipulation, and strategic mind make him a formidable opponent for Sukuna.
Zeref’s Arc of Time magic also allows him to control time, which may give him an advantage over Sukuna. His profound knowledge of ancient and forbidden magic makes him a formidable opponent who could take advantage of Sukuna’s vulnerabilities and outwit his cursed methods.
Yuno (Black Clover)
Prodigious mage Yuno from “Black Clover” is renowned for his extraordinary combat skills and vast wind magic. Yuno has unmatched mastery over wind magic. Not only are his spells extremely rapid and precise, but they are also very strong. His wind magic includes Towering Tornado, Tornado fang, and many more. Additionally he also possesses creation magic such as Swift White Hawk.
Although Sukuna is unquestionably a formidable opponent, Yuno has the skills necessary to face and possibly defeat Sukuna, the “king of curses” thanks to his proficiency with wind and star magic, strategic thinking, and combat experience.
Ainz Ooal Gown (Overlord)
The main protagonist of “Overlord” series, Ainz Ooal Gown (formerly known as Momonga) is regarded as the highest of the Almighty Forty-One Supreme Beings by the NPCs of Nazarick. As the most powerful magic caster in his world, Ainz possesses a vast array of spells, including reality-altering abilities and instant death magic. His abilities include Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Hyoui’s Bow, Earth recovering technique, and many more.
He is an extremely strong opponent because of his strategic thinking and situational awareness. With the help of his World-Class Items and his proficiency in several magical arts, Ainz has the potential to counter Sukuna’s cursed strategies and ultimately defeat the King of Curses.
Merlin (The Seven Deadly Sins)
Merlin from The Seven Deadly Sins, also known as the Daughter of Belialuin and the Boar Sin of Gluttony, is regarded as the greatest mage in Britannia. She possesses unmatched magical knowledge, and her ability ‘Infinity’ lets her cast spells for an indefinite amount of time. There are many offensive and defensive spells in Merlin’s collection, including Absolute Cancel, which may negate any magic.
Her magic makes her a formidable opponent against Sukuna. She would have a huge advantage over Sukuna in a fight thanks to her strategic thinking and magical competence.
Rimuru Tempest (The Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime)
Rimuru Tempest is a highly adaptable and powerful mage with a wide range of abilities. Formerly known as Satoru Mikami, Rimuru is the founder and King of the Jura Tempest Federation in Jura Forest. With his special ability, Great Sage, which he eventually developed into ‘Raphael’, Rimuru has unmatched strategic and analytical skills.
Rimuru Tempest is a tough opponent for Sukuna because of his combination of analytical skill, absorption ability, strong defenses, and overwhelming offensive skills. In a fight against the ‘King of Curses‘, Rimuru could successfully fend off Sukuna’s cursed techniques by utilizing his special abilities and crafty strategy.
Although Sukuna is a formidable opponent due to his strength and cursed methods, these five strong anime mages have the skills and intelligence necessary to take on and maybe defeat Sukuna. Zeref’s mastery over life and death, Yuno’s wind magic, Ainz’s reality-altering spells, Merlin’s infinite magic and Rimuru’s adaptability all make them tough foes against sukuna in an epic battle.
