In anime, when there are gods, it often happens that the characters want to reach their level, or even defeat them. 10 of them have already achieved this feat, but they are not the only ones. Here are 6 other characters who were powerful enough to defeat gods.
#1 Buu - Dragon Ball Z
The final antagonist of Dragon Ball Z, Buu was presented as the ultimate threat in the universe created by Akira Toriyama. After Bibidi brought him back to life, the villain ravaged his world. The Kaio Shin tried to stop him, but to no avail. Buu defeated the Western and Northern Kaio Shin, absorbed the Southern Kaio Shin, and was about to eliminate Shin. The intervention of the Dai Kaio Shin saved him, but it came at the cost of his life, as he was absorbed. Not only has Buu defeated gods, but he is almost considered one himself. In Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection of 'F', Frieza reveals that his father had forbidden him from challenging Beerus and Buu. Further proof that the pink ball inspires fear, even in the most powerful.
#2 Sasaki Kojiro - Valkyrie Apocalypse
Valkyrie Apocalypse has a concept conducive to confrontation against gods. Indeed, 13 deities and 13 humans face off in the Ragnarök tournament to decide the future of humanity. The beginning was rather laborious, with the first two rounds being won by the gods. Everything changes from the third round, when Sasaki Kojiro manages to defeat Poseidon. It wasn't a foregone conclusion, as the human had never won a fight before. Nelson Mandela's famous quote, "I never lose, I either win or I learn," suits him perfectly, as the character has learned lessons from each of his defeats.
#3 Guts - Berserk
Throughout the manga, Guts has faced the God Hand, but he hasn't yet had the opportunity to defeat them. However, during his adventure, he faced a divine creature: the God of the Seas. This Lovecraftian monster is one of the most powerful enemies in the manga, but that didn't stop Guts from diving into its mouth. With the help of his acolytes, he managed to defeat him before continuing on his way to Elfhelm.
#4 Joseph Joestar - Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
Seeing Joseph, one might wonder how this impulsive character, armed with tac-tacs, can defeat gods. Well, it's obviously thanks to his power, but above all to his intelligence. In Battle Tendency, Joseph defeated all the Pillar Men, and even Kars, the ultimate living being. Everything was against him, but thanks to cunning—and also luck—he managed to send this deity into space.
#5 Manigoldo - Saint Seiya: The Lost Canvas
Saint Seiya is the benchmark anime for confrontations against gods. Yet, one of the best fights of the genre can be found in the spin-off The Lost Canvas. The confrontation with Thanatos is one of the most appreciated by fans. And for good reason: it helped restore the honor of an astrological sign mistreated in the original work. Manigoldo helped his master Sage seal Thanatos by paying with his life. A heroic and infinitely classy act that made him one of the most memorable characters in all of Saint Seiya.
#6 Anos Voldigoad - Maou Gakuin
Before his reincarnation, Anos was a demon king of extraordinary power. He eliminated so many people that it would take too long to list them all. Among them, he obviously defeated many gods. This makes Anos one of the most powerful characters in all of anime, and he could even easily defeat deities from other works.
