My Hero Academia: 10 Naruto characters who can decimate Shigaraki from My Hero Academia

That being said, if Shigaraki was put against some of the most well-known and powerful figures in the Naruto universe, his strength might not be enough to match theirs. The Naruto series has many ninjas whose powers go beyond regular limits. They combine chakra and combat ability in ways that could overpower Shigaraki definitively.

These characters range from legendary Hokages to legendary characters with god-like strength who possess abilities capable of neutralizing Shigaraki's danger easily. This list will look at the ten Naruto characters who can defeat Shigaraki from My Hero Academia.

⁠⁠Madara Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and 8 other Naruto characters who can defeat Shigaraki from My Hero Academia

1) ⁠Minato Namikaze

The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is quick. His Flying Thunder God Jutsu permits him to immediately shift to a location he has tagged with a specific kunai and makes it tough for others to hit him accurately. The Rasengan, a powerful rotating chakra ball, combined with his advanced understanding of sealing techniques, could swiftly immobilize Shigaraki.

Moreover, Minato's strategic understanding and battle background would let him take advantage of Shigaraki's weak points, stopping his Decay Quirk from doing any serious harm. Using his quickness and tactics together makes Naruto's father, Minato, a fitting match to conquer Shigaraki.

2) Kaguya Otsutsuki

Kaguya Otsutsuki, the very first source of chakra in Naruto, possesses power and adaptability that are almost unrivaled. She can utilize abilities like dimensional shift (Shinsō), which enables her to control space and time. She also has an augmented Byakugan sense perception. Her peculiar talent, called All-Killing Ash Bones, gives her the capability for long-distance assault without needing any physical defense.

She has power in the Rinne-Sharingan, so she can use big jutsu like the Infinite Tsukuyomi. This might be used to trap Shigaraki in a genjutsu and make him lose his strength. Because of her big chakra ability and quickness, Kaguya could probably beat Shigaraki before he gets to use his Decay Quirk well.

3) Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto Uzumaki, unmatched in shinobi ability, is a formidable rival for Shigaraki Tomura. When he takes on his strong forms, such as Sage of Six Paths mode, Naruto combines big chakra pools with high-level sensing skills and powerful techniques. His Rasengan, which uses Nine-Tails' chakra, can deliver very bad hits, while his Shadow Clones provide tactical flexibility and plenty of numbers.

In addition, Naruto's toughness and fast healing could assist him in enduring Shigaraki's Decay Quirk. With his quickness, cleverness in strategies, and capability of gathering/manipulating chakra, Naruto might be able to effectively halt Shigaraki's assaults and triumph with certainty.

4) ⁠⁠Itachi Uchiha

Itachi Uchiha, who is famous for his skill in using the Sharingan, would win over Shigaraki Tomura. He has a very strong genjutsu named Tsukuyomi that can trap Shigaraki in an illusion where he suffers endless pain. This stops him from acting before Itachi does.

Moreover, Itachi's Amaterasu, which are black flames that can burn away anything they touch, would completely destroy Shigaraki's body full of decay. Susanoo, a huge ghostly warrior of Itachi's, provides both an attack and defense strategy for him: it guards against attacks from Shigaraki while also dealing powerful blows to him. Combining his smart understanding with strong powers, Itachi will break apart Shigaraki’s defenses and win the fight.

5) Madara Uchiha

Madara Uchiha is strong and has many abilities that could win over Shigaraki Tomura. With the Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan in his possession, Madara can perform techniques like Limbo. This creates intangible clones and Shigaraki cannot touch them. His expertise in Susanoo gives him nearly impenetrable defense and powerful attack power too.

Also, Madara's command of the Teen-Tails gives him a huge chakra and the power to do jutsu that can change planets, similar to Chibakus Tensei. Madara's clever strategy and strong body make sure Shigaraki's Decay Quirk cannot work against his overpowering strength and flexibility.

6) Hashirama Senju

The First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, has the Wood Release ability, a special chakra skill that can be utilized for various attacking and defending intentions. He can create massive binding structures with his Wood Jutsu, managing the activity on the field by producing impregnable wood that counteracts Shigaraki's Decay Quirk.

Also, his regeneration skills and summoning of big creatures make it hard for Shigaraki to finish him off. Because Hashirama has both strong defense and attack, he would undoubtedly win against Shigaraki.

7) ⁠⁠Kakashi Hatake

Kakashi Hatake, who is known for his versatility and strategic brilliance, could be a formidable enemy to fight against Shigaraki Tomura. Kakashi's Sharingan would help him forecast and handle well Shigaraki's Decay Quirk. Kakashi's knowledge of various jutsu like the Lightning Blade combined with his ability to create complicated plans using Shadow Clones gives him a significant edge.

Kakashi's Mangekyo Sharingan gives him the ability to use strong techniques such as Kamui. This can go through Shigaraki's protections and avoid his touch-related attacks. Furthermore, with Kakashi's understanding and cleverness, he could find out how to exploit Shigaraki’s weak points, making the risk less before getting big.

8) Nagato Uzumaki

Nagato Uzumaki, also called Pain, has the Rinnegan and controls the Six Paths of Pain. These paths have their own special powers and exceptional abilities. He can use Shinra Tensei to push away attacks or crush enemies with great strength, as Chibaku Tensei makes a huge gravity sphere that catches and destroys opponents inside it.

Moreover, Nagato's capacity to call upon mighty creatures and control chakra largely sets him up as a strong opponent. When dealing with Shigaraki, who can use his Decay Quirk when touching something directly, Nagato's attacks from far away and skill of managing many bodies at once would nullify the danger he poses from a distance.

9) Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha, possessing both Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, holds a multitude of strong abilities that can serve as counteractions to Shigaraki's Decay Quirk. Through his Rinnegan, he can perform techniques such as Amenotejikara, an ability to quickly switch spots with objects or people. This makes it very challenging for others to touch him.

Similar to Itachi, his Amaterasu makes never-ending black flames that can turn anything into ashes. This includes Shigaraki too. Sasuke's Susanoo is a huge warrior wearing armor, which gives him both attack and defense power against Shigaraki's moves. His knowledge of tactics and wide combat experience would surely overcome and win over Shigaraki.

10) Obito Uchiha

Obito Uchiha possesses Mangekyo Sharingan, granting him Kamui ability. This lets him turn intangible whenever he wants, rendering physical attacks and Shigaraki's Decay Quirk ineffective against him. With his skill to warp space using Kamui, he can dodge and respond to Shigaraki’s assaults in a potent manner.

Also, Obito's Rinnegan lets him use high-level jutsu, such as the Six Paths of Pain. These are capable of altering reality and calling forth destructive techniques. When controlling the Ten-Tails, he has extreme chakra and strength that make his attack and defense abilities even more powerful. The mix of being ungraspable, having control over space, and having great power makes it hard for Shigaraki to deal a final hit on Obito.

Final thoughts

In a fight between Shigaraki Tomura from My Hero Academia and strong characters from Naruto, the Naruto side would have an advantage. For example, Minato Namikaze is quick and smart in battle; Kaguya Otsutsuki has divine powers. These figures show a variety of strong abilities that could potentially match or even surpass Shigaraki's Decay Quirk.

Likewise, Naruto Uzumaki's big chakra storage and Itachi Uchiha’s genjutsu, together with Madara Uchiha’s dominating strength and Hashirama Senju’s Wood Release, give different strong threats. Kakashi Hatake is flexible in his abilities, Nagato Uzumaki can control more than one power at a time, and Obito Uchiha cannot be touched by physical things, which would make it hard for Shigaraki to defeat them.
