#FEATURE: 7 Of The Most Powerful Sorcerers In Anime

“FEATURE: 7 Of The Most Powerful Sorcerers In Anime”

Black Clover

 

With Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness in theaters this weekend we can’t help but be fascinated by sorcerers, wizards, and magic users. Many of us can accurately imagine what it might be like to be the warrior in a group of adventurers — if you ever played sports in high school you can at least relate to the required training. Sorcerers are fascinating because they have mastered arts totally unknown to the audience and live by their own rules and laws that only apply to magic users.

 

And these are just your typical spellcasters using “basic” magic, let alone masters of the mystical arts capable of performing spells that bend the laws of space and time. Let’s celebrate some of those admirable yet fearsome magical beings that hold reality in the palm of their hand and take a look at some of the greatest sorcerers in anime! Don your capes and prepare your grimoires, let’s make some magic!

 

Ainz Ooal Gown (Overlord)

 

Overlord

 

Overlord’s gamer Suzuki Satoru’s spell-oriented character in the DMMO-RPG YGGDRASIL is regarded by his friends as one of the greatest magic users in the Great Tomb of Nazarik. Suzuki finds himself transported to an unknown world where he inhabits the body of his avatar Momonga, takes on the new name of “Ainz Ooal Gown,” and becomes the Overlord and greatest sorcerer this world has ever seen.

 

Not only does he own items and accessories that are able to change the world around him, he also possesses vast magical powers that allow him to conjure legions of the undead that not even a dozen adventurers could defeat. But that’s not the only trick up Suzuki’s sleeve! He had already learned a huge range of spells and enchantments before coming to this world — spells capable of catastrophic destruction and instant death for ill-prepared opponents. He’s so powerful he needs special items to hide his magical aura, otherwise, mere mortals might lose their sanity in the face of the intimidating and oppressive presence of the Ruler of Great Tomb of Nazarik.

 

Satoru Gojo (JUJUTSU KAISEN)

 

JUJUTSU KAISEN

 

In a world full of cursed spirits, there are sorcerers who can see and exorcise them with the proper cursed tools, this includes casting other curses to confront them. At the Tokyo Jujutsu High, we are introduced to several formidable jujutsu sorcerers, each gifted with a distinct curse that follows specific rules. Oh, and of course, there’s the jujutsu sorcerer so powerful villains flee when he goes into action!

 

You know … the “incredibly hot sensei” Satoru Gojo! We can see how powerful he is from the very first episode, and even throughout the series we see only a small fraction of his powers. His technique, Limitless (Mukagen), bends the Infinity from his eyes, allowing him to control all aspects of space, up to an atomic level of manipulation. At a lower level, he can prevent any matter from touching him, as if he creates an invisible barrier around him. But what about when he activates his Domain Expansion? Well, the opponent simply stands still while witnessing an infinite void, their minds and bodies unable to process the excruciating amount of information. But hey! Gojo is still the most relaxed teacher at Tokyo Jujutsu High.

 

Satella, the Witch of Envy (Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-)

 

Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-

 

The Witches of Sin are people endowed with surreal powers and associated with the Seven Deadly Sins. Throughout the two seasons of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in a -Another World- we are gradually introduced to each of the Witches of Sin. Perhaps the most notable is Satella, the Witch of Envy. We see glimpses of what she is capable of, like control over the shadows and manipulating other people's emotions. But surely her most famous power involves the manipulation of time, as demonstrated through protagonist Subaru Natsuki’s “Return By Death.”

 

Every time Subaru is killed, he returns to a previous point to try a new course of action and prevent the death from happening again. If successful, a new return point is created. Satella’s presence is quite hidden and her connection with Subaru is still one of the largest mysteries that surrounds the story. What is known is that the Witch of Envy is one of the most feared beings in this world, both for what she has caused in the past and what she may still cause in the future.

 

Julius Novachrono, the Wizard King (Black Clover)

Julius Novachrono was the last to hold the title of Wizard King, which is no easy achievement. To be worthy of this title, one must be recognized by the Magic Knights as the strongest and most capable of being their leader — which just so happen to be traits that Julius possesses.

 

Time Magic is his trademark, allowing him to speed up, slow down, reverse and stop the flow of time. This makes him almost invincible in direct combat. Having the ability to manipulate one of the most fundamental aspects of reality could cause Julius to be a self-centered and arrogant Wizard King, but he isn’t. He possesses a childlike curiosity and loves to discover new magics. This, along with his great wisdom and intelligence, and make him worthy of the title of Wizard King.

 

Anos Voldigoad (The Misfit of Demon King Academy)

 

Misfit of Demon King Academy

 

Having the title of Demon King of Tyranny is certainly a burden. Owner of immense power, Anos Voldigoad killed all kinds of monsters and creatures in the name of peace. However, after years of endless wars, he decides to make a bold move that would bring peace for the next 2,000 years: Let himself be killed by the hero of his era.

 

Thanks to so many years as Demon King, Anos holds enormous magical power. Without much effort, he is able to decimate mountains and dry up rivers! Despite these abilities and the terrifying title of Demon King, Anos is very kind and gentle and only wishes the best for people.

 

Megumin (KONOSUBA -God’s blessing on this wonderful world!)

 

KONOSUBA -God’s blessing on this wonderful world!

 

Usually, when we create a wizard character in an RPG game we worry about the distribution of skill points and learning the right types of spells to deal with whatever the campaign might send our way. But then there are those wild cards who dump all their points into a single attribute and specialize in one specific type of magic. This is where Megumin comes in! All she wants is to perfect and improve her explosion magic, the rest is of no importance to her. Creating bigger, louder and … more explosive explosions is what she wants most in the world, so she trains every day, spending all her magical energy on this one goal.

 

Despite this becoming a glass cannon (it's extremely effective but drains most of her energy), Megumin has the power to overcome the most difficult of obstacles. Screaming “Explosion!” probably won’t make your spells any stronger, but it will certainly give a boost to your party’s morale.

 

Makoto Misumi (TSUKIMICHI -Monlit Fantasy-)

 

 TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy-

 

All-powerful magical abilities sound super cool, but they can be tiresome, too. Makoto Misumi is a young man who ends up in another world thanks to a pact made between his parents and the goddess of that world. He calmly accepts this reality. What he doesn't accept is being despised by that goddess just because of his supposed ugliness.  This goddess decides to throw him to the ends of the world without any protection. Feeling empathy for Makoto’s situation, the god Tsukuyomi bestows some blessings on the young man, which includes an absurd amount of magical power.

 

Makoto ends up needing to use gadgets to absorb this enormous power, otherwise, people think a demon of the highest level is approaching. Makoto just wants to live his new life with his monster allies and learn more about this world, but constantly finds himself up against ill-intentioned people looking for trouble. Of course, messing with someone who is able to change the course of an ongoing war with a single spell is a big mistake.
