Baryon Mode Naruto: 10 anime protagonists whom Baryon Mode Naruto has no chance against

Anime protagonists often possess incredible powers and abilities, and Naruto's Baryon Mode shines as exceptionally powerful within the plot of the Naruto series. In the beginning, Naruto Uzumaki was an outsider in his village. People disliked him because he was carrying the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. He still had a strong desire to become Hokage, as it would earn him respect from everyone.

Finally, Naruto overcame all the difficulties and tough training to fulfill his lifelong dream of becoming the Seventh Hokage. Fans of Naruto admired his path because they recognized the effort and dangers he faced in order to gain great strength, making him the strongest ninja in their anime world. However, there exist other anime protagonists who can defeat Naruto in his Baryon Mode.

Meliodas, Alucard, and 8 other anime protagonists who can single-handedly defeat Baryon Mode Naruto

1) Saitama (One Punch Man)

Baryon Mode Naruto will struggle against Saitama because of his exceptional strength and unparalleled combat skills. Although Baryon Mode boosts Naruto's powers, it puts strain on his own life energy, whereas Saitama has unlimited power. The One Punch Man protagonist can defeat anyone with just one punch. In a fight, Saitama can end fights instantly, while Naruto must carefully manage his energy and life force.

Saitama's special attack, the "Serious Series: Serious Punch," shows his unmatched power for destruction in a fight. Using his enormous physical strength, this move might cancel out all defenses that Naruto could put up and beat the latter with just one hit.

2) Goku (Dragon Ball Series)

Goku's knowledge of power far surpasses the most formidable abilities of anime protagonists, including Naruto. In a fight against Baryon Mode Naruto, Goku's skill with Ultra Instinct proves to be a critical advantage. With transformation, he can move and react like a god, swiftly avoiding the attacks of Naruto without effort while dealing powerful strikes back at him.

The "Ultra Instinct Sign" and its full form equip Goku in an unparalled way, giving protection abilities as well as allowing him to adjust swiftly in every circumstance. In a face-to-face fight, Goku's most powerful move, called the "Ultra Instinct Kamehameha," reveals his strength and technique. This wave of energy, made stronger by Ultra Instinct divine energy, might be too much for Naruto's defense.

Even though Naruto can increase his power with Baryon Mode by giving up some life force, Goku has more experience fighting against enemies who go beyond their limits. He knows how to plan tactics and last longer during fights.

3) Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon)

Sailor Moon, who can transform and has celestial powers, has magical strength that is more powerful than Baryon Mode Naruto. If they fight without interruption, Sailor Moon will be able to transform into her final form, known as "Eternal Sailor Moon," and unleash all of her power as the universe's protector.

The transformation improves not just physical traits but also allows Sailor Moon to control cosmic forces and the use of the "Silver Crystal," a strong item that can change reality itself.

In a fight, Sailor Moon can employ her special attack known as "Moon Gorgeous Meditation." This move uses the good power of Silver Crystal to make a strong wave of cleansing light. A strong attack, it also has the ability to clean things, which contrasts with Naruto's method of using up life force to get more powerful.

Sailor Moon's natural capacity to motivate hope and pity, along with her tactical understanding developed through numerous fights, enables her to outwit and outlive adversaries who depend only on raw strength.

4) Alucard (Hellsing)

Alucard is one of the toughest anime protagonists, as the immortal vampire and the ultimate weapon for Hellsing Organization. He brings a combination of supernatural abilities and hundreds of years of combat experience that will give Baryon Mode Naruto quite the fight.

While Baryon Mode boosts Naruto's power thanks to his own life force, Alucard's immortality and ability to regenerate give him an ongoing advantage in battles. Alucard has control over the powers related to vampires. This lets him use shadows, change into monstrous forms, and heal from almost any wound, making normal attacks not very effective against him.

During combat, Alucard can use strong attacks like the "Jackal," a powerful handgun that shoots explosive rounds, and also the "Casull," which fires special blessed silver rounds.

5) "Horn of Salvation" Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach)

Combining spiritual powers and fighting skills, Ichigo Kurosaki is one of the challenging anime protagonists who can easily face off against Baryon Mode Naruto.

Being a Soul Reaper, Ichigo has the ability to use his Zanpakuto called Zangetsu, which grants him increased awareness of spirits, rapid speed, and powerful sword techniques. In his last form, he gets hold of the "Horn of Salvation," strengthening his spiritual energy and physical strength at an unmatched level.

During showdowns, Ichigo's famous move, "Getsuga Tensho," makes a big wave of spirit power from his Zanpakuto. This can cut mountains and overpower rivals with its strong energy. He can switch between many sword forms and fighting styles, allowing him to quickly adapt to Naruto's varying strengths and weaknesses, ensuring that he can exploit any gaps in defense.

6) Gear 5 Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece)

Monkey D. Luffy, with his Gear 5 form, is like a natural disaster that can overpower Baryon Mode Naruto, through sheer strength, quickness, and the special powers of his awakened devil fruit, Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. In addition to his incredible strength and durability, Luffy's form allows him to control his surroundings by converting them into rubber, which gives him tremendous flexibility in battle.

In his Gear 5 Luffy mode, he can employ the "Gomu Gomu no Bajrang Gun," which produces a fist as big as a mountain combined with advanced Busoshoku and Haoshoku Haki. This attack alone can seriously damage any enemy, including Naruto, due to its massive size and strength. The punch, much like a hammer, can break through defenses and hit with a force that even Baryon Mode Naruto would struggle to handle.

Moreover, Luffy's "Gomu Gomu no Gigant" shrinks or expands his body size to that of a giant. The colossal size, along with his rubbery body's natural flexibility and toughness, will allow him to withstand Naruto's hits.

7) Meliodas (The Seven Deadly Sins)

Meliodas has many strong abilities and attacks, which can overpower Baryon Mode Naruto and other anime protagonists. Being the former leader of the Ten Commandments and also the captain of the Seven Deadly Sins team, his fighting skills and demonic powers are truly powerful.

Meliodas's main skill, "Full Counter," lets him bounce back any attack that uses magic, making it stronger. It would be very crucial if Naruto tried to use his chakra-based attacks on Meliodas. If a Rasengan or other technique using energy is thrown at Meliodas, it will be sent back with double the strength. Naruto would not anticipate this move and would end up defending himself.

When Meliodas takes on the appearance of the Demon King, his power and quickness become extremely strong compared to other anime protagonists. Using his "Trillion Dark" attack, he can use a lot of dark energy blades that are too much for any defense Naruto has. These blades can cut through almost anything and would continue to hit Naruto indefinitely, leaving him little chance to fight back.

8) Rimuru Tempest (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime)

Rimuru Tempest, the mighty slime from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, has a set of abilities and powers that can surely win over anime protagonists like Naruto. Rimuru is someone who has consumed many abilities and can use a variety of damaging techniques, allowing them to be extremely versatile and powerful.

The power of Rimuru's "Great Sage," which later becomes "Raphael," gives them almost perfect skills in analysis and strategy. This means they can quickly grasp and respond to every move made by Naruto or other anime protagonists, providing a big tactical benefit. With Raphael's extensive understanding, Rimuru will be able to foresee and block Naruto's attacks with accuracy.

9) Light Yagami (Death Note)

Light Yagami, who possesses the Death Note, has unrivaled strength to defeat Baryon Mode Naruto or other anime protagonists. This Death Note permits Light to end the life of anyone whose face and name he is acquainted with after writing their name within. It's a power comparable to that of gods that extends beyond physical prowess and abilities.

As soon as Light knows Naruto's real name and appearance, he can put down the former's name in the Death Note. The simplicity of this action renders Naruto's large reserve of chakra, quickness, and strength ineffective. The Death Note skips over all types of protection methods, such as the strong energy in Baryon Mode, as it brings the death of anime protagonists through supernatural manners directly.

10) Giorno Giovanna (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)

Giorno Giovanna, who holds the might of Gold Experience Requiem (GER), is sure to win against anime protagonists like Baryon Mode Naruto. The power of Gold Experience Requiem has a special ability that can cancel out any action or attack by bringing it back to its starting point, "zero." This makes the action seem like it was never done at all.

If we consider the strong points of Baryon Mode Naruto, who has amazing strength, speed, and chakra, GER's power would cancel all these benefits. Each punch is useless, and Rasengan is reversed to zero; every attack turns into nothingness. This makes it a big defensive power but also an attacking one because Naruto becomes weak and cannot hit again.

Final thoughts

Baryon Mode Naruto is strong, yet many anime protagonists from different anime have abilities that are far more powerful. For example, Saitama has infinite strength, and Goku knows Ultra Instinct which could easily defeat Naruto's Baryon Mode. The cosmic powers of Sailor Moon or Alucard's immortality might be majorly advantageous.

The spiritual strength of Ichigo, Luffy's ability to adapt in Gear 5, and Meliodas's Full Counter prove their superiority. Rimuru's all-around skills and Light Yagami with Death Note present a distinct variety of difficulties. The Gold Experience Requiem from Giorno Giovanna, which cancels out any attack, highlights that these anime protagonists can truly overcome Baryon Mode Naruto.
