Griffith is the main antagonist of Kentaro Miura's Berserk. Griffith used to be the leader of a mercenary group known as Band of Hawk. He soared through the ranks with victory after victory, but when he realized that he could improve any further, he decided to use the behelit.

Griffith sacrificed almost his entire army in order to be reborn as one of the members of the God Hand. Griffith is one of the strongest characters in the series and it will take Guts a lot of effort to beat him. In this post, we will discuss five anime characters who can beat Griffith and five who can't.

10 Can: Saitama

Saitama is the protagonist of One Punch Man. It is really difficult to scale Saitama's true power due to the fact that he hasn't been tested to his fullest by anyone so far. Saitama has fought countless powerful monsters and humans, but no one has been able to make Saitama work for a victory.

There are still several mysteries pertaining to Saitama's power. Griffith would be a really strong adversary for most anime characters, but Saitama's power would make defeating him an easy task. It wouldn't be a stretch to think that Griffith would be knocked out with just one punch as well.

9 Can't: Luffy

Next up we have Luffy from One Piece. He is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy is endowed with the power of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, which allows him to turn his body into rubber. He ate the devil fruit when he was just a kid and he has really improved his skills.

Luffy has developed several gears that allow him to beat super-strong opponents. As it stands, Luffy doesn't have enough power to beat someone of Griffith's caliber. Griffith's a member of the God Hand and he has much more strength than a regular apostle. It is difficult to call a winner in this fight, but Griffith has much more experience as a fighter so he might just edge out Luffy.

8 Can: Goku

Arguably the most anime character, Goku has been the childhood hero for many people. He is the main protagonist of Dragon Ball. Fans who have followed the series know about Goku's immense power. Even though Goku has grown up into a fine man, the potential to grow even stronger still remains.

In Dragon Ball Super, Goku unlocked the Ultra Instinct and it enabled Goku to fight against Jiren, who is a match for even a God of Destruction. Even without the Ultra Instinct, Goku would manage to make short work of Griffith in a fight.

7 Can't: Midoriya Izuku

Midoriya is the main character of My Hero Academia. He is the latest person to acquire the power of One for All. One for All provides incredible strength and speed to its user along with several other abilities. Midoriya has not gained full control over his abilities and facing a monster like Griffith is not easy.

He still has a long way to go before he can defeat Griffith in a fight without getting support from any of his friends. Griffith is a master tactician and he will very likely wait until Midoriya is exhausted from using his One for All.

6 Can: Naruto Uzumaki

It is difficult to imagine that Naruto Uzumaki used to be a weak boy. As a kid, he was nothing special and was considered to be dumb. However, he always had the potential to be special. Naruto trained tirelessly to improve his skills and become the person that he is now.

At the end of the series, Naruto was easily able to fight against characters that could obliterate planets with relative ease. Griffith can't really damage Naruto with his attacks due to Naruto's Six Paths Sage Mode providing him high regeneration abilities. Also, Naruto's punch was able to almost split the moon in half. Griffith doesn't really have anything on him.

5 Can't: Yagami Light

Yagami Light is one of the popular anime characters in existence. He is a regular high school student during the day and a mass killer during the night. He was chased by the police and L for a very long time snd he managed to outfox all of them until Mello and Near crashed his party.

Light is powerful only when he knows the name of a person. He doesn't even the eyes of a Death God, so there is no way for him to find the name of Griffith. Griffith is taking the win home easily.

4 Can: Giorno Giovanna

Giorno Giovanna possesses the "No U" stand, more commonly known as Gold Experience Requiem. Giorno's stand makes him immune to any attack that is thrown in his direction. Gold Experience Requiem resets the action of the enemy to zero. The stand acts on its own to protect Giorno from any possible harm, so he doesn't even need to be careful while fighting his enemies. Adding to this Giorno is able to turn non-living objects into living beings and he can also heal himself.

Griffith is very smart and he might figure out some part of Giorno's ability, but he cannot do anything to beat him. The fight would be dragged out and Griffith would just tire himself out while trying to inflict damage on Giorno.

3 Can't: Sakata Gintoki

Gintoki from Gintama smiling and waving.

Sakata Gintoki is the main protagonist of Gintama. Gintoki likes to goof around instead of working hard on something. His biggest weakness is sweet things. Gintoki used to be a super-strong samurai who fought against the invasion. He is capable of going toe-to-toe against the strongest of swordsmen.

However, Griffith is on a totally different level altogether. If they were to fight it would end in an easy win for Griffith without a doubt.

2 Can: Meliodas

The Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins is the next character to feature on our list. Meliodas is the son of the Demon King. Meliodas possesses a unique ability known as Full Counter, that reflects back the physical damage dealt to Meliodas with greater power and force.

Meliodas is also immortal as he was cursed by his father, Demon King. Meliodas' attacks are very powerful as well. This fight won't be an easy fight for Griffith by any means. Meliodas just about edges Griffith in this fight.

1 Can't: Lelouch VI Britannia

Lelouch is the main character of Code Geass. He possesses a special ability known as Geass that allows him to order people to carry out one task. The Geass has its limitations, but Lelouch has managed to use it brilliantly due to his wits.

Lelouch is very smart and he boasts a lot of feats to his name, but he has never faced an opponent as strong as Griffith. Griffith can easily defeat Lelouch provided he doesn't fall for his Geass' ability.
