Black Clover: 10 Strongest Magic Knights Aizen Can Defeat, Ranked From Easiest to Toughest

Late-series Aizen is insanely overpowered. His Kyoka Suigetsu is one of the most broken abilities in all anime. But would he still be able to defeat all the Magic Knights from Black Clover? Some of them possess power that even Aizen may struggle to counter. Going up against the Wizard King, Julius, or end-of-series Asta and Yuno can arguably end in Aizen’s eventual defeat.

Julius’s time magic would certainly be a bad matchup for Aizen, no matter how witty he is. Also, if they fight in the same universe, Asta’s anti-magic and Yuno’s endgame power will likely overwhelm Aizen. However, among the others, these 10 Magic Knights listed below may not be able to secure a win against him, but it’s worth wondering who will give him the toughest time. So, let’s check them out.

10 Fuegoleon’s Raw Firepower Has Clear Limits Against Aizen

Despite being the captain of the Crimson Lion Magic Knight squad, Fuegoleon Vermillion will hardly be able to even scratch Aizen. Though in Black Clover, we’ve witnessed his destructive firepower, and he’s also a reliable leader, against Aizen, he won’t be able to do much. Facing Kyoka Suigetsu will leave him clueless, as Fuegoleon does not possess any anti-illusion trickery. But his sister, Mereoleona, has a better chance of defeating Aizen, as she is ranked much higher on the list.

9 Nozel Silva’s Defensive Attributes Might Help Him Survive Longer

Nozel is clearly more defensive and strategic than Fuegoleon. Therefore, he might be able to survive longer against Aizen. His Mercury Magic is also capable of dealing formidable damage. Now, given the fact that Nozel can think quickly amidst a battle, he can possibly land a few hits on Aizen before Aizen activates his Kyoka Suigetsu. Still, that won’t be nearly enough to take down Aizen. Therefore, Nozel ranks this low on the list, only above Fuegoleon.

8 Noelle’s Saint Valkyrie Form Will Aid Her to Resist For a While

End-of-series Noelle experiences a significant spike in her combat power. Along with it, the speed and precision of her water-based attacks also increase to unimaginable levels compared to what she initially had. Simply due to her raw stats being this high, Noelle can keep fighting against Aizen longer than even many other Magic Knight captains. So, she deserves a place on the list. Still, Kyoka Suigetsu will ultimately overpower her, and she won’t be able to do much other than admit defeat.

7 William Vangeance’s World Tree Magic Increases His Survivability

Captain Vangeance of the Golden Dawn squad may ultimately lose to Aizen, but Aizen must remain somewhat careful. His World Tree Magic has strong binding capabilities, so if Aizen is caught off guard by Vangeance, he might get strangled by tree vines. Vangeance can even control space through his World Tree Magic, which somewhat puts him in a better position. Thus, with increased survivability, Vangeance ranks 7th. But it only delays the inevitable before Aizen finishes him off.

6 Mereoleona’s Mid-Fight Adaptation Capability Is Pretty Formidable

The sheer combat instinct Mereoleona possesses easily makes her a formidable entry on the list. She continuously adapts in every fight, as shown in Black Clover, and ultimately wins after fully adapting to her opponent’s combat style and abilities. That said, she isn’t much of a quick thinker. She purely relies on instinct, and that alone helps her secure the 6th place on the list. However, even she might not be able to overcome Aizen’s Kyoka Suigetsu! It’s hard to see her adapting to Aizen’s illusory tricks.

5 Rill Boismortier’s Painting Magic Gives Him an Unpredictable Edge

One of the most unique magic powers in Black Clover is Rill’s Painting Magic. He can effectively create any necessary construct out of thin air simply by painting it. Thus, it makes his next move extremely unpredictable, which essentially may work against Aizen’s favor. Because his magic does not rely purely on linear attacks, he can flood the battlefield with threats that even Aizen may not see coming. Aizen will have to plan further against him, which is why Rill ranks in the top 5 on the list.

4 Nacht’s Shadow Powers May Help Him to Restrain Even Aizen

Nacht’s shadow-based abilities are far more deceptive than Captain Vangeance’s. Even his Devil forms are mostly known for controlling a whole battlefield rather than doing raw damage. In that sense, he does give off a little Aizen vibe. The argument again lies in whether Nacht can restrain Aizen before he unleashes his Kyoka Suigetsu. And honestly, based on Nacht’s canon feats in the anime, the chances are pretty high. Then all he needs is to deal the decisive blow. Still, Aizen is difficult to surprise!

3 Langris’s Spatial Erasure Can Be Quite Tricky to Deal With

Among most of the Magic Knights, Langris has one of the most theoretically dangerous win conditions against Aizen, all because of his Spatial Magic. It can theoretically bypass all of Aizen’s greatest strengths. After all, if Langris catches anything within his magic’s effect, that object’s existence will be completely erased! So, assuming the fight starts in a 1v1 scenario and with no prior setup, Langris might actually be able to delete Aizen out of the picture.

2 Yami’s Dimension-Cutting Slashes Might Give Aizen a Hard Time

Bleach is all about fighting with swords, right? Then what if a character from Black Clover outdoes Aizen in his own playground? Yami, the captain of the Black Bulls, has one of the best combinations of offense, awareness, and hax to actually threaten Aizen. His Dimension Slashes cut through space itself. So even under Kyoka Suigetsu’s effect, one slash can technically erase all the Aizen clones. Plus, his ability to sense presence can help him locate the real Aizen, and then it’s game over. Aizen will need his strongest Hogyoku-infused form in order to defeat Yami.

1 Dorothy’s Glamour World Is the Perfect Counter to Aizen’s Powers

She might not be the strongest character on this list in terms of raw combat power, but against Aizen, especially, she has one of the highest chances of winning. Inside her Glamour World, a completely separate dream-like dimension, she can control and manifest anything and everything. Thus, against her, Aizen will have to engage on her terms, not his own. Though she might not be able to land a decisive blow alone, it would surely be one of the toughest fights for Aizen to control. Thus, she claims the #1 spot.

With that, the list comes to an end. While none of the Magic Knights mentioned here can guarantee victory over Aizen, a few individuals like Yami, Langris, and Dorothy would certainly give him a difficult time. But even doing that against one of the strongest villains in all of anime is deserving of praise, wouldn’t you say? Also, let us know if you think another Black Clover character should have made the list.

The Black Clover anime is currently available to watch on Crunchyroll, and you can watch all previously released episodes of the Bleach series on HULU in the US.
