The Naruto series is set in a world filled with ninja who use chakra to perform various types of jutsu, and this ninja world also includes several factions. One of those factions was the Akatsuki, a group of S-ranked rogue ninja who possess powerful and sometimes unnatural abilities. Some members are immortal, and some are capable of destroying entire nations and villages by themselves. If they were to ever fight together, very few people would be able to stop them.

Bleach is another popular series, and it is set in a world where spirits and spiritually attuned humans fight each other. Like most shonen series, there are certain characters in Bleach who are far more powerful than others because of their abilities, and a handful of these characters are actually strong enough to defeat every single Akatsuki member.

10 Baraggan Can Rapidly Age Each Member & All Of Their Attacks

Baraggan Louisenbairn Resurreccion Brave Souls Bleach

Every Espada represents an aspect of death, and Baraggan Louisenbairn represents old age and the passage of time. The former king of Hueco Mundo is capable of creating a time dilation field that can slow enemy attacks, and he can force anything he touches to rapidly age.

When he releases his Zanpakuto, Baraggan can create a type of miasma that rapidly ages and rots anything it comes in contact with. and his natural aging ability increases to the point that anything around him simply turns to dust. Not even the Akatsuki are immune to the effects of time, and all of their attacks, including Itachi's Amaterasu and Susanoo, would age away before they could get close to Baraggan.

Toshiro Hitsugaya true form

Toshiro Hitsugaya is the young captain of Squad 10, and he wields Hyorinmaru, which happens to be one of the strongest kido-type Zanpakuto in the series. This Zanpakuto allows Toshiro to control water and ice, and when he uses his Bankai, he is capable of freezing objects and areas within a designated radius.

Under normal circumstances, most of the Akatsuki would be able to fend off such an ability, but if they are facing off against the perfected version of Toshiro's Bankai, it's game over for the organization. In its perfected state, Toshiro can flash freeze anything with a wave of his hand, and if someone does get frozen, all of their abilities are negated.

8 Anything Gremmy Imagines Becomes Reality

Gremmy Using His Power Against Kenpachi

Many Bleach fans believe that the Sternritter ruined the series, and considering how overpowered some of them are, those fans actually make a good case. Gremmy Thourneaux was a Quincy who was given the designation "V" because he held the Visionary ability.

With this ability, Gremmy is capable of bringing anything in his imagination to life, even living beings. If Gremmy faced off against the Akatsuki, he could just imagine that none of them could use chakra and it would happen, rendering them all powerless.

7 Lille Can Pierce Through Anything With His X-Axis

Lille Barro Using The X-Axis Against The Zero Division

Like Gremmy, Lille is a Sternritter, and he was given the designation "X" because of his X-Axis ability. Lille's weapon of choice is a special Quincy rifle, and thanks to his ability, he is capable of piercing through anything in his line of sight. This means that he would be able to shoot through Pain's Almighty Push and the mystical shield wielded by Itachi's Susanoo.

That is what Lille is capable of when just one of his eyes is open, and when he opens both of them, his piercing power increases to such a degree that his body can pierce through enemy attacks. This means that none of the Akatsuki's jutsu would even be able to hit him.

6 Ichibe's Ink Is Incredibly Overpowered

Ichibē's Shikai Form

Ichibe Hyosube leads the Zero Division, and his True Name Manipulation ability allows him to manipulate sentient beings. His Shikai releases black ink, and if any of the Akatsuki touch this ink, they will lose all of their powers. The Shikai also gives Ichibe the ability to steal the abilities of anyone wearing black, which means that he can take the powers of every Akatsuki member.

His Bankai is even more powerful though, as it allows him to assign new powers and properties to people. This means that he can simply proclaim that each Akatsuki member is as strong as a newborn baby.

5 No Akatsuki Would Be Able To Overcome Tosen's Bankai

Tosen is the former captain of Squad 9, and although he didn't get much screen time, he is still regarded as one of the strongest Kido users in the series. Tosen may be blind, but he is still a master swordsman, and his disability means that he cannot be affected by any genjutsu.

Most of the Akatsuki will be able to handle his Shikai, but his Bankai creates a dome that completely nullifies all of his opponent's senses except for their sense of touch. Ninja rely on their senses during battle, and if they cannot see, hear, or smell their enemy, they are done for.

4 Captain Yamamoto Can Burn Them All To Ash

Bleach Yamamoto Ryujin Jakka East

As the Captain Commander, Genryusai Yamamoto was one of the most respected Soul Reapers in the series, but he also happened to be one of the strongest. His Zanpakuto is called Ryujin Jakka, and in its Shikai form, it is capable of producing searing flames that can incinerate anything he swings at.

His Bankai is powerful enough to destroy all of Soul Society, as its flames can reach temperatures of around 15,000,000 degrees. None of the Akatsuki would be able to get close to Yamamoto because they would burn up before they reached him, and if he cuts any of them even once, they will burn out of existence.

3 Captain Soifon's Shikai Can Kill Every Member In Two Hits

Soifon Using Suzumebachi in Bleach

Every single member of the Akatsuki is fast, but none of them are as fast as Soifon. The captain is a Shunpo master, which means that she can maintain high-speed movements for an extended period of time. If she were to combine that speed with her Shikai, none of the Akatsuki would stand a chance.

The Shikai resembles a gauntlet with a finger blade that looks like a stinger, and if she hits an opponent with it, it creates a butterfly mark on their body. If she hits the exact same spot a second time, her opponent's fate is sealed, even if they are "immortal" like Hidan and Kakuzu.

2 As A Sternritter, Uryu Transfer All His Damage To His Opponent

Uryu After Firing An Arrow Bleach

Uryu is one of several characters in the series who weren't given the chance to have a big impact, but he did receive a massive power boost when he joined the Sternritter. He was chosen to become the Sternritter's next leader, which is why he was given the power of Antithesis and the designation "A."

Antithesis allows Uryu to pick two targets and completely reverse anything that has transpired between them. If Uryu took on each Akatuski member separately, he can intentionally receive a fatal injury and then use his power to reverse the damage, thus killing his opponent instead.

1 Aizen Can Use His Complete Hypnosis To Make The Akatsuki Attack Each Other

Aizen Smirking In Bleach Anime

Aizen is one of the strongest individuals in Bleach, and his betrayal impacted the series in multiple ways. He possesses immense spiritual power, and after fusing with the Hogyoku, he has become a true immortal being, which means that none of the Akatsuki can actually beat him.

What truly makes Aizen formidable is his Zanpakuto, which allows him to completely control and manipulate all five of a person's senses. This hypnosis is even more powerful than the Sharingan, and if he uses it in front of the entire Akatsuki organization, he can simply trick them into fighting and killing each other.
