The Lower Ranks are formidable opponents in their own right The Lower-Five, Rui, subjected the Main Character to a brutal Curb-Stomp Battle. The Twelve Kizuki are divided into the Upper and Lower Ranks, with Lower-Six being the weakest, and Upper-One being the strongest. A group of the twelve strongest demons in existence, second only to the Big Bad himself. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba has the Twelve Kizuki.All thanks to his ingenuity and determination, he beats her in both rematches as well. Shizuri Mugino was ranked the fourth most powerful esper in Academy City, then Shiage Hamazura, a guy with no powers at all, tricks her into blowing herself up.Touma has a tendency to do this to other people as well, all thanks to his power to nullify anything. Then Touma Kamijou comes along, manages to negate Accelerator's power, and defeats him in combat by punching his lights out. The most powerful esper in Academy City, no one has ever managed to land so much as a single blow on him. Downplayed in Beyblade Burst, but Valt becomes the first person to Burst Spryzen in episode 15, even though he didn't win the match.At least, until he puts out a Distress Call and Bertolt falls on them. Attack on Titan: Eren manages this during the battle with Reiner.Assassination Classroom: Half of the plot is that Korosensei is determined to cultivate Kunigigaoka's E Class, the class of outcasts and ne'er-do-wells, into students knowledgeable enough to take out the A Class, the all-stars with the highest grades, with Principal Asano's son as the school's #1 student.Sure, he had help, but he still stood alone for most of the battle. Kazu from Air Gear was already getting some serious badass cred from his fight with Sleipnir, but he finally proves, once and for all, that he's no longer the little bitch who needs Ikki to fight for him when he takes out Nike, a ridiculously powerful Hero Killer who's never lost a fight.Shohoku faces them in the second round of the nationals barely winning by one point in the last second. To give an idea of how powerful they are, the year prior to the start of the story they defeated Kainan, who are Kanagawa's top team for 16 years straight, by 30 points of difference, and since their current senior players joined, they haven't lost a single game. They have been the defending national champions for three years running and are ranked as an AA team. Slam Dunk has the Sannoh Industry Affiliated High School basketball team.Their loss in the year before the storyline was not because of a better team, but because the commander of their flag tank abandoned her position to save a friendly tank that had fallen into a river. Girls und Panzer has Kuromorimine Women's College, which have won the high school sensha-do (tankery) championship for 9 years.Its ace player, Teru Miyanaga, is touted as the best individual mahjong player in the high school circuit, and is the sister of the title character. Saki has Shiraitodai Girls School, the two time champion in high school team mahjong.They, however, pale in comparison to the Teikoku Alexanders, who have won the Christmas Bowl since the establishment of American Football in Japan. Eyeshield 21 has the perennial Kanto representative the Shinryuuji Naga, who had dominated the Kanto region for the longest time.It is a common staple of sports themed manga/anime (usually set in high school) to have a team that has dominated the national circuit and is always touted as the team to beat for the protagonist team.This character may also play a role of the Goliath if the one who beats him looks to be totally outmatched at first glance. Often, such a character will also be either a Jerkass or somewhat intimidating to give the hero even more reason for beating him, but not always. These characters appear in varied roles: they can be a Big Bad, The Dragon, or, sometimes, just some seemingly unobtainable goal.

But nothing lasts forever.īasically, this is a character who is introduced as and/or is famous for being brutally unstoppable, and, for a long time, they continue to be so, until that one hero (or villain) can finally show the world what he's made of by defeating him. Be it a Gentle Giant, an Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy, or The Big Guy with a mean streak, this character is an unbeatable scourge that other fighters either dread facing or anticipate fighting in order to gain fame for being the first to beat him. A regular scourge in the ring: a character so powerful, so unstoppable, that not even the greatest of fighters can overcome his wrath.
