Ban From Seven Deadly Sins
There is something you should know, a real sin is something you can never atone for
Ban the fox sin of greed
Ban, the fox sin aka the bandit Ban Aka undead Ban, and the man of greed is one of the seven deadly sins and the best friend of Meliodas.
His sin is of greed, he wished for his loved one to never leave him and for that, he was punished with eternal life.
Ban can never die, not from fire, not from being cut into pieces nor even from having his heart taken out from his body, and when this combines with his skill of snatching to rob his opponent of speed and strength he is a beast.
And spoiler alert if you have not completed the anime and manga Ban at the end loses his immortality for giving back life to Elaine with the power of the fountain of youth.
Now he is the king of the fairy kingdom and a father of a cute little boy Lancelot.
Alucard from Hellsing
It takes a man in order to kill a monster!
Alucard
Alucard Aka the count dracula is one dangerous immortal you don’t want to ever meet in your life and not even in your afterlife.
After being defeated by Van Helsing many years ago he now serves the Helsing organization in order to kill the beings of the night.
He just loves to kill vampires and ghouls. He is always shown to be disgusted with vampires for killing without a cause but Alucard always loves to first humiliate his opponent then kill them.
He always allows to be attacked blown into bits then comes together again and destroy his opponent.
He is the count dracula, vlad the destroyer and king of vampires. His character is very much inspired from Dracula by Bram Stocker.
Ryuk from Death Note
All humans die the same, the place they go after death isn’t decided upon by a god it is Mu (nothingness).
Ryuk
Ryuk is a Shinigani a harbringer of death from death note who was the reason Light Yagami got the death note and he did so only because he wanted to get rid of his boredom.
Ryuk is a very dangerous being as he is given the duty to write the name of people who are to die and in doing so he is rewarded with that persons life.
In this way he becomes immortal but he is not someone who only wishes for eternity but what makes him entertained is toying with life.
He has the shinigami eyes, a ability which give him power to know someone’s name and his remaining life which he can give to others in offer of their half life in trade.
Ryuk was the main reason why the whole death note happened.
Zombieman from One Punch Man
Get ready for a battle if attrition.Zombieman
Zombieman is the 8th S- rank her of the hero organisation . He is a result of human experimentation done on him by the scientist of house of Evolution.
He has grey coloured skin with dark circles under his eyes and from his looks look like a vampire or undead or as his name suggest an zombie.
He can’t be killed with any method. Even if you cut him , burn him, put him in acid, blow him he just regenerated back to life.
But his immortality comes with immesurable stamina and endurance so he can fights for very long amount of time but physically he is just above average and uses an axe or a gun to destroy monsters.
He is proficient in detective skills so his immortality allows him to spy in dangerous places.
Sosuke Aizen
There is no such thing as “truth” or “lies” in this world; there never has been. There are only plain, hard facts. And yet, all beings who exist in this world acknowledge only those “facts” that are convenient to them, and take them to be the “truth”. They do so because they know no other way of living. However, for those powerless beings who comprise the majority of this world’s population, inconvenient facts that affirm their very existence, are their only truth.
Sosuke Aizen
Sosuke Aizen previously the captain of the 5th division of the gotei 13 and the main villian of the bleach series is one of the most badass anime villian ever written.
Sosuke is a beast with his literally unparalleled intellect and strategically well developed mind which always think ahead in time and the deceptive ability of his zanpakuto.
When he was in soul society everyone thought of him as a kind and helpful but that was all a disguise to completely destroy the soul society, hyurgo mundo and the human world.
With the help of the hogyoku being absorbed into his body he becomes a soul which cannot be destroyed and which made him a immortal.
And after Ichigo defeats him he was punished to be kept in the lowest floor of the soul society jail for 20,000 years of Imprisonment.
Kaguya Otsutsuki
Kaguya Otsutsuki is a member of the Otsutsuki clan which is a intergalactic species of aliens which eats the life of a planet to stay alive.
They get immortality by consuming others life force which they get by turning the planets life energy into ten tails and then eating the world fruit from it.
Kaguya was the strongest and final opponent shown in Naruto shippuden who no one was able to kill and had to be only sealed away.
In boruto we got to know why they can’t die and also that they could be killed if there was no vessel for them to resurrect if their current bodies were to be destroyed.
Father from Fullmetal Alchemist
Father is the oldest homunculus from fullmetal alchemist who is the creator of the other 12 homunculus directly or indirectly.
He is someone who wishes to rule the world and bring absolute goodness to the world and become the most superior from the human race.
He is arrogant and self righteous and with his power to make anyone obey him. He bring absolute destruction when thing don’t happen his ways and is the main antogonist in the fullmetal alchemist.
Zeref from Fairy Tail
Zeref was considered the strongest most evilest mage of all time in the fairy tail universe. A mage with a very black History full of death and destruction wherever he is present.
He is the black magician who knows the darkest, strongest and evilest magic of all time.
In the start he was shown to be self hating and lonely character who was always in search of his own destruction who created many monsters who could kill him.
He was the creator of END the strongest monster made from his dead brothers body.
In the end he got his long wished death with his lover on his side which made him turn into a favourite character of many from a villian.
Kei Nagai From Ajin
We have a 0% chance of winning right now. That number will stay at zero forever unless we intervene. So even if it comes to nothing, we have to keep acting. It can be a 0.00001% chance. We have to do this to keep the possibility alive of creating a way to win. Do you understand what I’m trying to say here, you idiot? Fighting to the end, even if it comes to nothing, isn’t an illogical act! This is a carefully considered way of maximising what is our current 0% chance of winning! It is a perfectly logical thing to do!!Kei Nagai
Kei first died when he was a baby due to Perinatal Hypoxia but was revived due to his status as an Ajin. The doctors who were trying to treat him believed it was a miracle.
Like all Ajins, Kei is completely immortal, he is unable to die under any circumstances such as being completely crushed, decapitated, or even due to malnutrition.
However, he fears that if his head is decapitated and a new head grows on his body, he would have no control over his body anymore.
Like all Ajin, Kei possesses IBM however he has an abnormal amount of it and thus he can manifest more than the average Ajin.
Kei can also manifest a Black Ghost and unlike Ghosts of other Ajin, it is considerably plain without any distinct deformity.
Kei’s IBM/Black Ghost is a unique case since it was with him since childbirth, where he had first died.
Skeleton or no name from skeleton soldier couldn’t protect the dungeon
Skeleton was just a regular Skeleton Soldier minion placed under the Demon Lord Baal.
His past as a human remains unknown.
His grave where his remains are buried had no clues about his past.
The tombstone of his grave had been scratched so bad that they can’t even see his name on it.
Skeleton was first resurrected by a low-ranking necromancer named Rubia however she died right away after resurrecting Skeleton.
But in a tragic turn of events he also dies unable to protect her but after his death, he is resurrected back in time and in this turn, he will do his all to save his master.
This is not actual immortality but he can’t die no matter what and will just get revived back in time as the story progresses your love for this character will also increase.
This is a manhwa who currently don’t have an anime but is an anime which do deserve one and is one of my must read isekai manhwa.
Zeno from Dragon Ball Z
In a series full of immortal being who can in a way never die with the help of dragon Ball we had to put a character and that is none other than Zeno.
Zeno is the omnipotent king of the multiverse who can destroy everything from existence with just his whimsical wish.
He had destroyed 6 universes previously because he was bored. He is the strongest character DBZ series and it was said that he is immortal who has been from the time of creation of multiverse and even will be alive when they are destroyed which we saw in the manga.
And I don’t think there is a character who can actually kill him so he is the strongest immortal God anime character.
Dio from Jojo Bizarre Adventure
The More Carefully You Scheme, The More Unexpected Events Come Along.
Dio
Dio Brando known as DIO from Part 3 onwards, is the main antagonist of Part 1 and Part 3.
After becoming a vampire and later a Stand user, Dio has gathered around him many minions and is responsible for many major events of the series, from the death of Jonathan Joestar to the Joestar Family’s sudden acquisition of Stand power, and his legacy persists throughout the series.
DIO’s Stand is The World; a humanoid Stand that specializes in melee attack roughly equal, if not superior, in its immense force and speed to Jotaro Kujo’s Star Platinum.
But the most dangerous thing about him is the ability that he gets from his stand is the ability to control time, he can stop time which make his opponent think he is moving at ultra fast speed .
It could have been even more developed if he was not destroyed.
Muzan From Demon Slayer
Muzan the progenitor of all the demons from Demon Slayer is the one single enemy whose destruction will get the world rid of all the monsters.
The origin of Muzan is unknown but he was affected by a virus that made him immortal and turned him in a combination of Count Dracula and a zombie.
He doesn’t have a particular form and keeps changing his body. No demon slayer was able to match his power except one and he has always killed humans for more than 1000 years.
“Undead” Andy From Undead Unluck
Now we have Andy the Undead from Undead Unluck who is in all sense completely immortal and he d’ont want that he wants to die.
He is a negator who has the power to negate his death may it be in the form of being destroyed by a meteorite, being cut by a saw, getting crushed by a tank and so on and so forth.
A suicidal and reckless man who teams up with Fuuko. He is obsessed with finding a way to kill himself and takes an interest in Fuuko for her Unluck ability.
His Negator ability “Undead” prevents him from dying and he can use his regenerative abilities to do a multitude of things, such as firing his finger like a bullet.
It’s later revealed that Andy is one of the only people aware of the loop, as his powers means he does not die when the world is reset.
SO all in all he is one of those very few characters whose immortality is completely solidified in the plot and nothing will ever kill him.
Ruin From undead unluck
His Negator ability, “Unruin”, which he derives his name from, prevents his body from falling into ruin, giving him immortality like Andy. Additionally, he has tamed the UMAs Blood and Shadow.
A Negator granted the title of Regulator who worships God, aspires to be the “King of Negators”, and plots to wipe out the Union to ensure Earth’s destruction by God’s hands.
Blood allows him to manipulate his blood and hypnotize people by piercing their brains; Shadow grants him the ability to move and teleport through shadows and create shadow clones of himself.
Sukuna from Jujutsu Kaisen
Sukuna the King of Curses was once a normal human who had an immense amount of Curse energy and because of this curse energy which gives him an infinite amount of life energy he can’t be killed.
Many years ago when Sorcerors tried to erase his existence but failed and to stop him they had to divide his energy into 20 of his fingers through which he came back alive when Yuji consumed one of those fingers.
Hidan from Naruto
Hidan is an S-rank missing-nin who defected from Yugakure and later joined the Akatsuki, and a worshipper of Jashin.
Hidan is a very powerful shinobi, whose skills lead to Yugakure choosing to not deal with the S-rank missing-nin, as there wasn’t a ninja in the village that could take him on.
As a result of extensive experimenting with the Jashinists’ various techniques, Hidan’s main advantage is his inability to die from virtually all causes, with the exception of malnutrition.
His immortality allows him to survive numerous fatal injuries, and almost any form of dismemberment; he even retained his ability to speak after having his head cut off.
