Whether they are the main antagonists or heroes of their respective series, these demon lords amaze audiences with their unmatched strength and unforgettable presence. In this article, we will take a look at some of the most powerful demon lords in anime. So, without further ado, let’s get started.

10. Staz Charlie Blood – Blood Lad

Born from a line of noble vampires, Staz is one of the strongest demons in existence. From a young age, Staz demonstrated a frighteningly powerful potential that eventually allowed him to become the head of the Demon World's East District.

Staz does not obtain his powers by drinking blood like other vampires, however, he has a reserve of demonic energy that helps him enhance his physical and magical abilities. Even with his powers sealed, Staz is a fairly powerful demon who can easily hold his own without any problems.

9. Mephisto Pheles – Blue Exorcist

Blue Exorcist has so many powerful and oppressive individuals that it's hard to choose one's side, but if it's Mephisto, one can blindly bet on his immense strength. He's the headmaster of True Cross Academy and is considered the second strongest of the Eight Demon Kings, which is quite a feat in the demon world.

As a demon lord, Mephisto is powerful enough to prevent any high-ranking demon from entering the academy. He also holds the title of “The King of Time” and has mastery over time and space, manipulating them in a variety of ways. The extent of his powers is still unknown, but he is certainly one tough nut to crack.

8. Void – Berserk

Void is the oldest and most experienced member of the God Hand, who certainly lives up to his reputation thanks to his dark appearance. As one of the anime's most powerful demon lords, Void can defend himself by bending space and shaping causality to his will.

His extraordinary powers allow him to create portals in the blink of an eye and use them against his opponents. Void's most special ability, however, is the Summoning of Doom, which allows him to mark the enemy with a curse, condemning them to be endlessly attacked by all manner of evil creatures until they die.

7. Muzan Kibutsuji – Demon Slayer

The progenitor of all demons, Muzan Kibutsuji needs no introduction to his feats and unparalleled strength. The scope of his powers includes a vast array of interconnected skills and techniques, each of which can bring down even the strongest Hashira.

As the Demon King, Muzan is able to control and manipulate demonic physiology with molecular precision. His eternal youth, immortality, and biokinesis make him invulnerable to any type of artifact, and facing him head-on is absurd, as he is among the strongest characters in Demon Slayer.

6. Lucifer – Black Clover

Lucifero is a force to be reckoned with in the kingdom of Black Clover, as he possesses a power that can destroy the world of the living. In addition to being the highest-ranking devil, he is one of the three rulers of the underworld and is feared among other devils and demonic entities.

His immense magical attributes allow him to manipulate gravity to a point where even the strongest of mages would collapse. Lucifero is so powerful that even in his incomplete form, he can take on seven enhanced Magic Knight Captains at once without any effort.

5. Diablo – How Not to Summon a Demon Lord

The protagonist of the anime-transferred game world, How Not To Summon A Demon Lord, Takuma Sakamoto had no notable skills other than being a professional gamer, until he donned the avatar of Diablo, the Demon King, upon arriving in the fantasy world of Cross Reverie.

Diablo is the strongest being in his video game world and has a multitude of spells, abilities, and equipment in his arsenal. His character has mastered all Elemental magic and had the Combiner subclass, making him one of the most powerful demon lords in the anime.

4. Ryomen Sukuna – Jujutsu Kaisen

One of the strongest characters in Jujutsu Kaisen, Ryomen Sukuna is the most powerful cursed spirit, the extent of which is still unknown, but as far as the story goes he is ridiculously strong. The undisputed “King of Curses” is so omnipotent that only his fingers contain an equal fraction of his extensive cursed energy.

He can practically destroy the world and his cursed energy is similar to Satoru Gojo in its immensity, but different in its overwhelmingly evil nature. Even in his defeated form, Sukuna can still wreak havoc on the battlefield and overpower any curse bearer, including Jujutsu sorcerers.

3. Satan – Devilman Crybaby

Satan was an angel who was banished to Earth after a disagreement with God. To exact revenge, Satan took the form of a human boy named Ryo Asuka and developed a pre-planned scheme to release an army of demons and exterminate humans so that his kind could populate the Earth.

The worrying part is that Satan actually has the ability to wreak havoc, turning the seas red and drowning humanity in blood. Once fully revealed, he displays a variety of abilities, such as killing animals with his thoughts, creating force fields, and a powerful telekinetic force that makes Satan himself a calamity.

2. Sadao Maou – Hataraku Maou-sama

Before escaping to the human world and assuming the identity of a fast-food restaurant employee, Sadao Maou was the "Demon King" Satan ruling the world of Ente Isla. However, on Earth, he lost most of his demonic powers and was weakened to the point that he could only function as an ordinary human.

In his demonic state, Sadao unleashes a monstrous side of his personality, feeding on the fears and negativity of all humans around him. His strength takes an incredible leap and his magical attacks gain significant damage ratings, allowing him to take down any dangerous element.

1. Voldigoad Years – The Misfit of Demon King Academy

Renowned for his cosmic powers and brutality, Anos Voldigoad was named the “Demon King of Tyranny” during the Mythic Age. An all-powerful divine spirit, Anos was feared by even the strongest souls, as he defeated countless enemies without breaking a sweat.

Despite being reincarnated after 2,000 years, Anos is still super powerful in every physical aspect and possesses a range of abilities ranging from resurrection magic to teleportation magic. He is one of those anime characters who have killed gods and that is why it is nearly impossible to defeat him with his own created methods.
