10 Shonen Heroes Dandadan’s Okarun Could Beat (2024)

Dandadan’s Okarun has proven to be one of the most powerful characters in the series. His ghostly abilities to move at lightning speed and his incredible durability have made him a perfect candidate to take down spirits and aliens alike. Okaun, in his spirit form, is so powerful that he could even defeat many of the best shonen heroes.

These heroes may be the best in their own shows, but Okarun has them beat in terms of strength and agility. If Okarun were to go head-to-head with any of these shonen characters, Okarun would certainly come out on top. He may have a nihilistic attitude, but he has the endurance to take down any of these shonen heroes with ease.

10 Loid Forger Is A Great Spy But Is Only Human

Loid Forger Can't Catch Up To Okarun

Loid Forger is the greatest spy in Westalis from Spy x Family. He is a master of disguise and can seamlessly blend into any situation based on his intellect and training. He is an excellent close-combat fighter, and he has yet to lose a serious fight. However, that would change if he faced Okarun.

For all of Loid’s abilities, he is just a human. Okarun has the advantage over Loid because of his yokai powers from Turbo Granny. Plus, Okarun is so fast that it would be impossible for a human to catch him - even a human as skilled as Loid. Loid would probably be stealthy enough to evade Okarun, but once they came into contact, Okarun would be the one to come out on top.

9 Legoshi Is Just An Animal

Legoshi's Training Doesn't Help Against Supernatural Ability

Legoshi is a powerful, young Grey Wolf from Beastars. Legoshi has an extremely strong jaw full of sharp teeth, and he continues to get stronger every year. Legoshi’s strength is so great that he takes down a Lion crime syndicate and fights a fully realized bear, Riz, at the end of Season 2. Yet, for all of his improvement, Legoshi is still just a wolf.

Okarun is much faster than Legoshi. His blows are also far more devastating than any bite Legoshi could give him. Legoshi may have the strength and bloodlust, but he would be hard-pressed to catch Okarun in the first place. Okarun’s supernatural yokai abilities are too great for a wolf like Legoshi to handle.

8 Tanjiro Kamado Is Regularly Battered & Bruised In Fights

Tanjiro Kamado Lacks Self-Preservation In Battle

Tanjiro Kamado is one of the best fighters in Demon Slayer. Not only can he use two different breathing techniques, but he also has an impregnable sense of justice. If Tanjiro believes he’s in the right, he will stop at nothing to defeat his enemies. With that said, Tanjiro has a habit of fighting too long and too hard in each of his battles.

Okarun could use Tanjiro’s weakness against him. As long as Okarun kept Tanjiro at bay for long enough, Tanjiro would get injured and tired enough to fall out of the fight. Tanjiro is known for getting severely injured in battle and taking months to recover. Okarun is a lot more durable than Tanjiro and can last longer in a fight as long as he takes a few breaks. Tanjiro is a fierce combatant, but his lack of self-preservation would be his downfall when fighting Okarun.

7 Edward Elric Lacks Size & Strength

Edward Elric Isn't Infallible

Edward Elric is one of the most determined fighters from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. He is extremely motivated by his desire to help his brother and will do anything to achieve their goal. However, Edward is not the absolute best fighter either. While he is one of the best, he isn’t the top combatant in the entire series.

Okarun’s powers are rather neck-and-neck with Momo Ayase’s, but their abilities are so different that there isn’t much of a contest. However, Edward’s Alchemy - as strong as it is - would not be enough to defeat Okarun. Okarun is blindingly fast and his hits are so hard that he can tear holes in his opponents. For as often as Edward has been resurrected, he wouldn't be able to come back from total annihilation. As much as he would like to think he’s strong, Edward is not nearly as strong or efficient as Okarun.

6 Mash Burndead Is Strong But Okarun’s Powers Are Supernatural

Mash Burndead Can Only Do So Much With His Strength

Mash Burndead is one of the strongest human anime characters from Mashle: Magic and Muscles. Because he does not possess magic, his father made him train his body every day of his life. This has resulted in a singular athleticism that hardly any other character could match. However, Okarun might have a fighting chance.

Although Mash’s strength is superhuman, Okarun has the paranormal on his side. Even if Mash can convince his peers and teachers that he has magic through the power of his muscles, Okarun could see through his weaknesses and take Mash down. Mash is fast, but he isn’t quite as fast as Okarun at his top speed. Okarun and Mash would be almost matched in strength, but Okarun would eventually win due to his supernatural agility.

5 Naruto Uzumaki Isn’t As Strong At The Beginning Of His Story

Naruto Uzumaki Has Powers For Longer But Doesn't Master Them Immediately

Naruto Uzumaki is a great ninja in Naruto. However, his supernatural powers aren’t quite as strong as Okarun’s initially. Although Naruto has harbored the Nine-Tailed Fox for much longer than Okarun has had Turbo Granny’s powers, Okarun is inherently stronger. Therefore, a battle between Okarun and Naruto would end in Okarun’s favor - especially if they fought when they were both teens.

When Naruto is a preteen/teenager, he’s still navigating his abilities and has a few mishaps. Okarun essentially masters his powers as soon as Turbo Granny’s consciousness is put into the decorative cat. While Naruto does think through most of his attacks, his strategies don’t come as naturally to him as Okarun’s. The biggest advantage Okarun has over Naruto is speed. Even as Naruto grows, his agility pales in comparison to Okarun’s Turbo Granny swiftness.

4 Izuku Midoirya Is Too Reckless

Izuku Midoriya Fights Without Regard For His Well-Being

Izuku Midoriya (Deku) is one of the strongest and most determined characters in My Hero Academia. Even when he’s severely injured, Deku continues fighting until he physically can’t any longer. Deku’s perseverance is stronger than Okarun’s, but Okarun is much faster and can deal much more devastating blows on large opponents.

Since Deku is just a human, he doesn’t have much of a chance against Okarun. For all his accolades, Deku is just a human with a borrowed Quirk. He gets overly excited and hurts himself in the process. In his spirit form, Okarun doesn’t care about anything (except for Momo). Okarun’s apathy would help him defeat Deku, simply because he wouldn’t feel desperate enough to ruin his body in a fight like Deku does.

Izuku has dreamt of being a hero all his life—a lofty goal for anyone, but especially challenging for a kid with no superpowers. That’s right, in a world where eighty percent of the population has some kind of super-powered “quirk,” Izuku was unlucky enough to be born completely normal. But that’s not enough to stop him from enrolling in one of the world’s most prestigious hero academies.

3 Yuji Itadori Punches Without A Plan

Yuji Itadori Needs Help From Others

Yuji Itadori has a staggering amount of Cursed Energy output in Jujutsu Kaisen. However, he would be no match for Okarun. Yuji is almost obnoxiously strong, but he isn’t as thoughtful in his attacks, nor as athletic as Okarun when he’s powered up.

Okarun has both speed and force over Yuji. Yuji’s punches are a sight to be seen, but they haven’t burst through enormous limbs in immense beings like when Okarun fights the Flatwoods Monster. The Cursed Spirits Yuji faces are formidable, to be sure, and Yuji holds his own against them. However, Okarun has such a great speed advantage over him that it would take a lot for Yuji to get a hit on him without help from one of his classmates.

2 Shinra Kusakabe Doesn’t Have As Much Control Over His Power

Shinra Kuskabe Is Faster But Not Whole

Shinra Kusakabe is a Fourth Generation Pyrokinetic from Fire Force. Shinra can shoot flames from his feet, which both enhances his speed and can be used to attack enemies. While both Shinra and Okarun got their abilities from an otherworldly feminine being, Okarun’s would prove to be more damaging than Shinra’s.

Shinra is one of the few anime characters who could outrun Okarun. However, when Shinra goes as fast as he can, his body turns into tiny particles - rendering him useless for that time. It also wears Shinra out. Okarun has a bit of a limit on his powers, himself. However, Okarun could outlast Shinra if Shinra was forced to use his Grace to keep up with Okarun.

1 Kafka Hibino Is Just Like The Aliens Okarun Defeats

Kafka Hibino Is Just Another Paranormal Being To Okarun

Kafka Hibino, from Kaiju No. 8, is a lot like Okarun. Neither are particularly strong as their original selves, but immensely powerful when they turn into their supernatural alter egos. Although Okarun’s powers come from a yokai, Kafka’s abilities appear to come from aliens, or beings from another dimension. Despite these similarities, Okarun would defeat Kafka in a battle between supernatural individuals.

Kafka is shown defeating large enemies with single punches. However, Okarun has been shown taking down similarly large enemies as well. Plus, Kafka is both too brazen and less thoughtful with his attacks. He tends to rush in without a plan, which could be to his detriment with Okarun. Plus, for all of Kafka’s speed, he would be no match for Okarun. After all, Soshiro Hoshina was able to get a hit or two on Kakfa during their fight. Okarun’s speed and more pointed attacks would lead to Kafka’s downfall.
