Killua, with his outgoing personality, is a fan favorite. His demeanor is exactly like one would imagine kid Gojo to be. Being born into a famous family of assassins, Killua showed great potential by mastering several techniques at a very young age.

Like Gojo in Jujutsu Kaisen, he is a genius in the world of Hunter x Hunter, possessing extraordinary strength and agility, making him an overpowered killing machine.

Mamoru Takamura is a man of incredible strength, who once defeated a bear with his bare hands. As the anime progresses, Takamura becomes a multi-weight class professional boxer with a record of 27-0-0, with all 27 wins coming from knockouts.

Like Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen, Takamura’s sheer domination in the boxing world along with his incredible accomplishments, has made him the strongest character in Hajime No Ippo.

Naruto Uzumaki, the protagonist of Naruto, is a 12-year-old ninja who leads a lonely life. Naruto aspires to be the Hokage and is willing to do his best in this endeavor. Kakashi is Naruto's sensei and one of the most talented shinobis of his generation.

At first glance, both Gojo Satoru from Jujutsu Kaisen and Kakashi are incredibly similar. Both keep their eyes covered and have gravity-defying hair. They give off a calming nonchalant vibe and possess incredible fighting abilities.

Having been through a terrible tragedy in the past, Kakashi has strong morals, imparting wisdom to his students and teaching them the ways of a ninja.

Saiki was born with so much power that he had to use a limiter in order to lead a normal life. In spite of this, just like Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen, he is one of the strongest, if not the strongest characters in the show. Even though Saiki is not as flamboyant and outgoing as Gojo, due to his unparalleled skills and innate ability, he is almost as powerful as him.

9) Kisuke Urahara(Bleach)

Bleach is an anime about the life of a high school student, Ichigo Kurosaki, who one day gained the powers of a soul reaper and set out to rid the world of Hollows.
