There are many anime characters who are strong and powerful but only a few that are almost completely invulnerable and unbeatable in battle.
In the world of anime, the differential of power between characters is often a recurring theme of the plot. Whether it manifests through intrepid heroes or unstoppable forces of evil, certain characters are extremely difficult (if not impossible) to overcome in their respective universes.

They are forces of nature that few can contend with, sometimes even going the entire story without suffering a single loss. By identifying those who possess such extraordinary gifts, we have a fuller understanding of the profound ways in which they excel and how their overwhelming might influences the world around them.
CBR VIDEO OF THE DAY
10 Madara Uchiha (Naruto)
Madara Uchiha was the patron of his clan and one of Konoha's sworn enemies. Moreover, he was arguably its greatest threat. Fresh from his reincarnation, he was capable of obliterating an entire army of shinobi by himself and decimating the Five Kage alliance with relatively little difficulty.
His power would only increase later in the series, especially when he mastered the terrifying potential of the Truth-Seeking Orbs. Not even the legendary prowess of Might Guy could stop him after unlocking all Eight Gates, demonstrating his boundless durability and unchallengeable supremacy.
9 Grayroad (Seven Deadly Sins)
Grayroad was the Commandment of Pacifism and one of the Demon King's most valuable minions. Despite being one of the first to die, her ability entailed that whoever struck her would age rapidly until they had perished for their insolence.
This made her virtually untouchable, as she could survive the single attacks of her adversaries before they were afflicted by her curse. Only Merlin's immunity to the monster's magic proved a viable counter, as the finest knights Liones had to offer succumbed to her and the demons that she spawned into her service.
8 Ryuk (Death Note)
Ryuk was a shinigami of the Death Note universe and one that frequently visited Light Yagami. He was responsible for the notebook that his companion had found, understanding that the man's actions would inevitably result in his downfall and looking forward to the day that it would.
While Yagami had entertained the idea of slaying Ryuk before, the shinigami could write down his name much faster than the notebook's owner. Considering his immunity to mortal weapons and unwillingness to intervene in Light's fate out of love, his safety was never compromised throughout the series since there was nothing that could harm him.
7 Esdeath (Akame Ga Kill!)
A frighteningly powerful warrior in her own right, Esdeath could summon massive icy meteors and glaciers in order to slice apart her opponents in seconds. Almost no one was able to challenge her throughout the duration of the story, defeating Susanoo in moments despite his enhanced state.

Perhaps her most useful ability is to momentarily freeze time itself, giving her a chance to defeat elusive opponents in the rare instance she needs the handicap. Were it not for Akame's convenient (and ephemeral) augmentation, she would have bested Night Raid's finest assassin and any others who would challenge her ambition.
6 Diavolo (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
Diavolo's "Emperor Crimson" Stand allowed him to view the next ten seconds and erase whatever damage he sustained within its timeframe while maintaining the harm he inflicted. As a result, he was arguably stronger than DIO since he had a better means of defending himself.
Further, he accrued the highest body count among the series' villains at the time of his debut, practically wiping out all of Team Bucciarati by himself. His defeat was only due to Gold Experience Requiem—a Stand that was tailored through Giorno's desperate need to defeat the mob boss and a product of the arrow he sought.
5 Alucard (Hellsing)
Alucard's malevolent smile compliments his monstrous strength. He was never defeated throughout the Hellsing series and only rarely struggled against his opponents. The closest the vampire came to his demise was when a Millennium agent, Schrodinger, had fed him his corrupted blood in a suicidal endeavor to put down Integra's defender for good.

Though this may have inconvenienced Alucard, he would later reemerge thirty years later. It demonstrates his peerless durability and might even against foes specifically designed to kill him.
4 Meruem (Hunter X Hunter)
Analyzing the story objectively, Meruem has never tasted defeat in his entire life. The Chimera Ant King successfully defeated the strongest fighter in the series at the time (Isaac Netero) and possessed such unbridled power that the Zoldyck family of assassins were reticent to fight him themselves.
Only the radiation of Netero's bomb was potent enough to defeat him for good, though with the sacrifice of his Royal Guards, he was able to survive it for a time after its detonation. Within this window, he became powerful enough to eradicate anyone he wished in the blink of an eye.
3 Ban (Seven Deadly Sins)
Ban is unique in the sense that while he may be balanced in the Seven Deadly Sins universe, he is insanely overpowered in anyone else's. His undead condition allows him to regenerate indefinitely, mending his entire body and effectively granting him eternal life. Further, he can rip out the hearts of his enemies remotely, allowing him to defeat most threats with little effort.
The only check to his power is on account of the demons' ability to consume his soul. His body may rejuvenate, but should his spirit be compromised, he cannot mend it.
2 Aizen (Bleach)
Aizen possesses tremendous power that none of the Gotel captains could hope to challenge. In addition to being able to kill normal people from blocks away through his spiritual pressure, his absorption of the Hogyoku allowed him to survive the direct punishment of Ichigo, who had converted his spiritual energy into physical force.
Further, his Zanpakuto can put anyone nearby into a hypnotic trance, with the only way to overcome it through physically touching the blade. Considering the man's previously mentioned achievements, this is an impossible feat by most people.
1 Giorno Giovanna (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
While Giorno may have begun his adventures as a balanced character, he was nothing short of invincible by the end of the series. His Stand allowed him to reset the properties of anything to zero, effectively undoing anything undesirable that had been done to him.
He also had enormous offensive potential, able to defeat Diavolo through skill and raw striking power. Ultimately, the mob boss's attempt to reverse his demise would only enter him into a permanent loop—one where he would suffer endless deaths through a variety of creative and terrifying means.
