Yogiri Takatou is the main character of the series My Instant Death Ability is So Overpowered, No One in This Other World Stands a Chance Against Me! With his "instant death" ability, he can instantly kill any target he desires to end. Making it an unavoidable and morally complex ability that defies even reincarnation.

Yogiri wouldn't need a second to kill Yhwach. He is strong enough to end the entire Bleach multiverse with a single thought. His powers can kill immortals as well as concepts, including those that are beyond imagination. Yogiri stands beyond the idea of dimensions rendering Yhwach's Almighty useless.

2) Gilgamesh

One of the most powerful servants in the Fate series, Gilgamesh, or the King of Heroes, is an outerversal character. He holds various divine and mythological weapons through his Gate of Babylon. It is a treasury that is filled with the most powerful artifacts from across time able to counter even gods.

Gilgamesh's powers and abilities are highly conceptual and destructive. With his signature weapon, EA, he can tear apart space, time, and reality itself which makes him nearly invincible. Yhwach, with his Almighty and other Quincy abilities, still stands no chance against the King of Heroes. If he faces Gilgamesh, he will be erased from existence instantly.

3) Rimuru Tempest

Rimuru Tempest, the protagonist of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is one of the strongest characters in the Tensura universe. As a True Demon Lord, Rimuru possesses countless god-like abilities that include the multi-dimensional barrier, space-time domination, dragon spirit Haki, and more.

Rimuru with his ultimate skill, Void God Azathoth, can erase matter, concepts, and even the souls of his enemies. Yhwach, in front of Rimuru, is just like a black ant. This battle between the Quincy King and the Lord of Tempest would end before it even started, with Rimuru emerging as the clear victor.

4) Featherine Augustus Aurora

Featherine Augustus Aurora is a witch in the Umineko series with the rank of creator in her universe. She is a meta-character who can also bend the meta-world to her will. Existing beyond fiction and reality, Featherine possesses highly conceptual abilities, including plot manipulation, reality wrapping, and more.

Featherine's intellectual abilities also allow her to rewrite anything she desires, making her nearly invincible. Yhwach's Almighty would be utterly useless against her as she exists beyond everything. She is omnipotent as well as omniscient. In a battle, Yhwach wouldn’t stand a chance; Featherine could simply erase him with a mere thought.

5) Izayoi Sakamaki

Izayoi Sakamaki, the main character in Problem Children Are Coming from Another World, Aren't They? Izayoi Sakamaki is a human, but unlike other overpowered characters, he is far from ordinary. He possesses various abilities like causality manipulation, fate manipulation, existence erasure, etc with immense physical abilities.

Izayoi's raw strength, which can transcend dimensions and defy reality itself, and his capacity to negate all supernatural abilities are what really give him his power. Against Yhwach, his power to nullify all kinds of abilities gives him an edge over the Almighty. With his physical and intellectual abilities, he is strong enough to easily overwhelm Yhwach.

6) Anos Voldigoad

Anos Voldigoad, protagonist of The Misfit of Demon King Academy. As the Demon King of Tyranny, he possesses extraordinary magical abilities, including reality manipulation, resurrection, and destruction on a multiversal scale. He can easily annihilate gods, erase the immortals from existence, and manipulate the fabric of reality itself.

Against Anos, Yhwach's Almighty is utterly useless since he has shown he can transcend the very concept of fate and destiny. Anos is someone who can effortlessly overpower Yhwach in any scenario without even breaking a sweat.

7) Akuto Sai

Akuto Sai is a reincarnated Demon King from the series Demon King Daimao. He possesses absolute transcendence abilities and even killed the real-life Author. He then became the Author of the DKD story. Akuto can also control the laws of existence along with dimensions, time, and space which makes him nearly impossible to defeat.

Yhwach's Almighty would be futile against Akuto as the concept of time is irrelevant to him, he can also rewrite or erase any event or future possibility. Against his unrivaled abilities, the Quincy Emperor stands no chance and will be erased from existence as soon as this battle begins.

8) Zeno

Zeno is the King of the Twelve Universes in the Dragon Ball series. He is a high-complex multiversal being and a supreme authority who possesses unimaginable powers. He can erase multiple universes with a mere thought, showcasing his ability to manipulate and erase existence itself via twin-charged blue balls of energy.

Zeno's powers and abilities transcend all limits. While being the strongest character in the Dragon Ball multiverse, he is also one of the most formidable characters in anime history. Against Yhwach, Zeno is capable of negating the Almighty and every other ability he possesses, demonstrating the vast disparity in their power levels.

9) Anti-Spiral

Anti-Spiral is the main villain in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and is an ambiguous being. He holds various transcendental abilities, including mind manipulation, multiverse labyrinth, sealing, and the power to control the entire universe and suppress the will of others. In order to defeat his opponents, Antispiral employs a variety of reality-warping and probability-manipulation techniques.

Yhwach's Almighty is meaningless against Anti-Spiral, as the concept of fate and destiny is inapplicable to him. Using powerful skills like dissolving matter at the molecular level, controlling time, and building enormous energy structures, Anti-Spiral can dominate or subdue his opponents. Any conflict between the two would mean the destruction of the Quincy Emperor.

10) Shiki Ryougi

Shiki Ryougi is one of the saber class servants in Fate/Grand Order. She has superhuman characteristics with expertise in martial arts. She possesses the ability to perceive the "death" of everything in existence with her "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception," separating life and sense of the death of everything.

As a Saber-class Servant, Shiki is a skilled swordswoman, wielding exceptional combat abilities. Her ability to evade and counter anything is unmatched due to her affinity for the concept of death. The power to control death offers her an easy win against opponents like the Bleach character.

While Yhwach is one of the strongest characters in anime, there are considerable number of characters in anime, manga and light novels, who can overpower him. Though Yhwach coming face-to-face with these adversaries is full of uncertainties. Nevertheless, if such a confrontation ever occurred, the Quincy Emperor would be obliterated.
