Highlights
- Miyuki excels in magic and endurance despite not being as physically gifted as her brother Tatsuya.
- Tatsuya, despite being terrible at magic, is a strong close-range fighter with high psion count and magical endurance.
- Strong characters like Chiba, Benjamin, Kazama, Katsuto, and Lina stand out in the world of technological and magical warfare.
The Irregular at Magic High School features a premise that is not rampant in anime. The most powerful character is seen as inferior to everyone else due to his low affinity for magic, as that is how their society’s power dynamics work.
The Irregular at Magic High School Anime Getting Sequel Series
The announcement was made following the conclusion of the Reminiscence Arc anime special.
The world is also filled with developed characters who are always engaging in technological and magical warfare with powerful abilities and strategic brilliance. Among this host of characters, some individuals stand out as powerhouses who can shift the tide of battle in an instant with their impressive and unique skills. With that in mind, there are some characters that one could dub the strongest in The Irregular at Magic High School series.
10 Chiba Naotsugu
Best Close Range Combatant
Chiba Naotsugu is a student at the National Defense Academy who has already risen to the rank of second lieutenant. He is also a member of the Sword Corps, a platoon in the National Defense Forces’ First Division that is mainly used for guerrilla warfare.
He is touted as one of the best close-range fighters in the world and is known as the prodigy of the Chiba clan. He has mastered the Art of the Thousand Blades to augment his swordsmanship, and in combination with his speed, not many can square up to him.
9 Benjamin Canopus
First-Class Star Magician
Colonel Benjamin Canopus, mostly known as Ben, is a very powerful First-Class Star Magician who serves in the Star Magician Unit of the USNA as the second-in-command, and leader of the First Unit.
He is quite skilled in magic and brawling, so much so that he was able to take on multiple First-Class stars with parasites without the risk of injury, and he might have won the battle too had he not been forced to surrender to save the life of Shauna. His battle experience and ability to adapt to tough situations are also added boosts to his arsenal.
8 Kazama Harunobu
Strongest B-Ranked Magician
Kazama is the Lieutenant Colonel leading the 101st Brigade of the National Defense Force. Kazama is only a B-ranked magician, but his willpower and mastery of Ancient Magic, Ninjutsu, and Cloak of Invisibility are Swiss army knives he uses to overpower his opponents.
Kazama is well recognized as one of the best users of ancient magic, but due to his low affinity for magic, Yuuka was able to find a cloaked Kazama even though he was 100% focused on casting the spell and maintaining it.
7 Juumonji Katsuto
Head Of The Juumonji Family
Being the head of the Juumonji Family, it is not a surprise to see Katsuto here, as they are one of the Ten Master Clans. He is an alumnus of the First High School and one of the Big Three of the prestigious school.
Among the clan heads, Maya is the only one who can match up to him in terms of output, with Katsuto only falling behind when it comes to how easy it is for her in combat. He can also overclock his magic power at the cost of his lifespan.
6 Kudou Minoru
The Augmented Magician
Kudou Minoru is the Augmented Magician that was created when Kudou Makoto became hell-bent on producing a mighty heir to succeed him. He was created from the genetic material of Makoto and his youngest sister, but publicly, he is the son of Makoto’s wife.
Being an augmented magician means he has a specifically weak body as a result of gene manipulation and might not have a lot of years left in his lifespan. However, he has been acknowledged as one of the strongest magicians of his generation, and coupled with having one of the best brains in the show, Minoru is truly ahead of most of his peers.
5 Angelina Kudou Shields
Leader Of The Stars Magician Unit
Angelina, or Lina for short, is the Lieutenant Colonel in charge of the Stars Magician Unit of the USNA. Despite her youthful appearance, Lina is highly skilled in combat. She earned the prestigious title of Sirius, which is given to the most skilled combat magician in the USNA military. Remarkably, she achieved this at a young age by defeating the previous Sirius in combat.
Linia excels in her ability to quickly activate magic and seamlessly integrate it with her hand-to-hand combat skills, leaving her opponents bewildered and unable to react in time. Additionally, she has demonstrated a strong resistance to mental interference magic, and parasites.
4 Shiba Miyuki
Naturally Gifted
As the main female protagonist of the story, it is not a surprise to see Miyuki ranked so high. Miyuki received a lot of training as a child and, as such, is much more refined than the average person.
15 Iconic Anime Characters With Ice Powers
Ice-wielding characters are exceptionally powerful forces in the anime world. Here are some of the best of the bunch.
She learned martial arts from Yakumo Kokonoe like her brother, Tatsuya, and although she is not quite as physically gifted as him, she is no slouch. Miyuki has a high Psion count too and has shown great magical endurance while being naturally gifted at all forms of magic.
3 Yotsuba Maya
Queen Of The Night
Yotsuba Maya is the Head of the Yotsuba family and is widely recognized as the strongest magician of today. She is sometimes called the Queen of Night due to her Meteor Stream ability, which controls the distribution of light in areas with little illumination.
As such, Meteor Stream is most effective in closed spaces, and it works by converting the light into projectiles that burn holes in any object in its path, disregarding all defense, including the Juumonji family’s Phalanx, with Tatsuya being the only person to survive it with his Decomposition.
2 Kokonoe Yakumo
Master Of Ancient Magic
Despite his old age, Yakumo is able to keep up physically with most of the young ones in the show. He can be called a monk, although he isn’t exactly one, according to Tatsuya; he’s just a wannabe. He owns a temple and leads the warrior monks when he’s not too busy sneaking up on people with his ninjutsu.
Best Martial Arts Anime Of All Time
Anime consists of various subgenres, and among the most entertaining is martial arts.
He is also a master of an Ancient Magic type, as well as martial arts and illusions. Over the years, many top dogs have picked up a thing or two under his tutelage, including the titular protagonist, Tatsuya.
1 Shiba Tatsuya
The Irregular At Magic High School
Shiba Tatsuya is the titular protagonist of The Irregular at Magic High School, who was accepted to be one of the Course 2 students of the prestigious First High School. Tatsuya was subjected to numerous magical procedures at a young age and did not feel any emotions at all. His extremely sensitive brain can pick up things the average person cannot.
Despite specializing in long-range combat and stealthy assassinations, Tatsuya is a very strong close-range fighter. He is terrible at magic but has a high Psion count that grants him high magical endurance in battle.
