Whether they use their powers for good or evil, their command over magical abilities sometimes leaves fans in awe. In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the most powerful and formidable magic users in anime. So, without further ado, let’s get started.

10. Kazuma Yagami – Kaze no Stigma

In the Kannagi family, Kazuma is seen as the most talented magic user, having made a contract with the Wind Spirit King. As a practitioner of the Wind Technique, Kazuma is capable of fighting as a one-man army due to his power being on another level compared to other individuals.

In fact, Kazuma is so formidable that even without activating the contract his power is on a different level. Needless to say, he is undeniably the most powerful spiritual practitioner to ever exist and is one of the most talented magic users in anime to grace the screen.

9. Shiba Tatsuya – Irregular inMagic High School

While taking the entrance exam at First High School, Shiba Tatsuya is deemed magically inept and placed in the lowest class. Eventually, everyone thinks he is weak and underestimates him, but they are soon amazed to learn about Shiba's magical proficiency.

He may be a “First Class” in the school’s standardized rankings, but Shiba was a born expert magician, excelling in several special skills that surpass almost everyone else. His technical knowledge and combat abilities are also unmatched.

8. Julius Novachrono – Black Clover

The Clover Kingdom is full of powerful and skilled mages, but none come close to the almighty Julius Novachrono. As the 28th Wizard King of the Clover Kingdom's Magic Knights, Julius is known to possess a number of different magical powers that make him the strongest mage in the series.

The true nature of Julius' magic displays the property of altering or stopping the flow of time, allowing him to face multiple enemies at once. However, he rarely puts on a show to flaunt his powers and instead wanders the kingdom, gaining extensive knowledge and experience in magic and social dynamics.

7. Zeref Dragneel – Fairy Tail

Zeref Dragneel is considered the strongest and one of the most evil magic users in the anime. Being the founder and former emperor of the Alvarez Empire, Zeref has mastered the art of Dark Magic and is exceptionally powerful so that he sometimes cannot consciously control his own powers.

His aptitude for magic can be seen by the fact that he possesses the forbidden “Ankhseram Dark Magic” which allows him to kill any living being he desires. Zeref has countless spells and abilities like this, which is why he is not only a formidable opponent but also one of the best darkness users in the anime.

6. Ainz Ooal Dress – Overlord

As stated by his loyal guild members, Ainz is the most powerful of the Supreme Beings. In the New World, he is the Sorcerer King and the strongest magic caster in Nazarick, making him a very powerful mage and an unbeatable individual in E-Rental.

With the large arsenal of level-up magic at his disposal and cosmic items under his control, Ainz can cast a variety of abilities that include summoning undead, creating black holes, and spells that cause instant death. His abilities literally live up to his titles.

5. 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.

4. Wang Ling – Xian Wang by Richang Shenghuo

After all, Wang Ling is identified as one of the strongest forces in the series, he is the incarnation of a legendary figure and was born with 30,000 Heavenly Dao to his name due to his cultivation legacy and the inherent power that runs through him.

The power that Wang Ling possesses truly surpasses that of anyone in the entire universe he inhabits. He has a number of unique abilities and powers, as well as immense physical strength and speed that make him one of the best magic users in the anime.

3. Madoka Kaname – Puella Magi Madoka Magica

One of the charismatic Magical Girls, Madoka was considered the strongest, even without her goddess abilities. Her ability is still unknown, but is often compared to Iroha's. However, she can now fire energy arrows with it to attack her enemies.

In her goddess form, known as "Ultimate Madoka", she can remove the corruptions of Soul Gems just by touching them. Overall, Madoka is above any other being in the entire setting, or at least comparable to most of them.

2. Gilgamesh – Fate

An ancient king who desired to possess everything he could, Gilgamesh is by far the strongest Archer-class servant and Heroic Spirit in the series. While the Holy Grail Wars are fought by legendary heroes, Gilgamesh certainly makes a case for legendary villains being in the mix as well.

He is driven by greed and self-interest at all times, and draws his powers from his Noble Phantasm, the Gate of Babylon. It grants him access to all the world's treasures he has collected during his lifetime, allowing him to dominate the battlefield and launch surprise attacks against his opponents.

1. Sinbad – Magi
