Onoki is one of the supporting characters of Naruto and the reason he was included in this list instead of Gaara is because his particle style of fighting combines fire, wind, and earth release, making him one of the anime characters with earth-based abilities. His origins are closely linked to an earth-based village, Hidden Stone Village.

Onoki's particle style is kekkai touta (combines three chakra releases) which has been passed down to him from the previous ruler of his village, which could indicate that this technique is not genetic, making this technique one of the strongest in the series.

As the title suggests, Katarina Claes is the villainess of the novel series Fortune Lover in the anime who got reincarnated into this series after hitting her head. She is the most unexpected arrival on this list because most fans don't remember her having any magical abilities.
