One of the strongest members of Hunter X Hunter's Phantom Troupe, Uvogin's unrivaled physical prowess was a force to be reckoned with. His strength was so great that Kurapika had to put a Nen condition around his own "Emperor Time" ability to guarantee his success against him.
While the Troupe member's might is considerable, we have a limited understanding of his potential through the opponents he has fought against. By matching him with some of anime's most deadly villains, fans can determine the boundless extent of his strength and where his abilities fall short. Here are 5 anime villains Ugovin can defeat and 5 others who will most likely defeat him.
10 Could Beat - Muscular (My Hero Academia)
Muscular was one of Shigaraki's vanguard's elite villains and capable of withstanding Deku's One For All and a hundred percent. He may use the veiny strands across his torso and shoulders as makeshift arms to entrap his opponents and overwhelm them.
However, Midoriya's strength is noticeably lower than Uvogin's. Even at a million percent, he could only create a small hole in the side of a cliff with a concentrated punch, whereas the Troupe member made a massive crater with ease. Therefore, it follows that he is one of the few characters able to physically dominate Muscular.
9 Would Lose - Yammy (Bleach)
In his released state, Yammy can become a gigantic leviathan able to decimate huge swathes of terrain with a single explosion. He dominated Ichigo on multiple occasions (both during their first encounter and after the Soul Reaper's duel with Ulquiorra), being one of the few villains to do so.
Not only does the Espada have a clear physical edge over Uvogin, but he can also harvest the souls of those around him through a single inhale. Given that the Nen user has no natural defenses against such a skill, it follows that Yammy would be able to devour him with little difficulty.
8 Could Beat - Miss Valentine (One Piece)
Miss Valentine was a Baroque Works agent that could adjust her body weight at will. This meant that after she flew over her enemy's head, she could divebomb them with the weight of a boulder.
However, this is an extremely sloppy and telegraphed technique. Uvogin would still be able to injure her (or at the very least, offset her trajectory) by belching a guttural scream. It was a tactic he employed to defeat virtually all of the Shadow Beasts at once.
7 Would Lose - Youpi (Hunter X Hunter)
Youpi was a royal guard and arguably the most powerful chimera ant barring Meruem himself. He could withstand tremendous abuse, whether from Knuckle, Shoot, or even godspeed Killua, never having been defeated in a fight.
While Uvogin may have superior raw strength, his durability leaves something to be desired. Attacks from Kurapika were enough to stagger, phase, and ultimately defeat him, demonstrating his vulnerability despite his size and offensive potential. This entails that Youpi's appendages would find success in skewering his body.
6 Could Beat - Tarkus (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
Tarkus may have been the physical superior of the two undead warriors raised into Dio's service, but he is limited by his low imagination, intelligence, and skillset. Against Jonathan Joestar, this would be a weakness, and when matched with Uvogin, it would result in his demise.
Not only can the Troupe member disorient him with the potency of his scream, but he can also smash the ground around him to create a dense cloud of dirt. This would obscure Tarkus's vision, allowing his foe to strike on his own terms ~ and fatally.
5 Would Lose - Drole (Seven Deadly Sins)
The former king of giants and a member of the Ten Commandments, Drole's brawn has only been amplified after he swore allegiance to the Demon King. During his dance, he can cause earthen eruptions that would easily obliterate Uvogin's entire body.
Moreover, he possesses the durability to eclipse the Troupe member's own. His skin can become steel on a whim, granting significant protections if his opponent somehow manages to avoid his sweeping attacks to get in close. Therefore, Drole is Uvogin's superior in every observable way.
4 Could Beat - Sloth (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Sloth was the strongest of his homunculus brethren and the martial superior to Alex Louis Armstrong. Despite his soporific speech patterns and shambling gait, he can move with blinding velocity when compelled into action.
While this entails he could land a fatal blow against Uvogin, he cannot land precise attacks when moving at such a high velocity. Subsequently, Uvogin should anticipate and dodge the incoming blows, especially if he focuses his Nen in his eyes.
3 Would Lose - Kisame (Naruto)
Uvogin should be qualified to fight Kisame since the shark is most vulnerable to physical attacks. However, given that he could withstand direct blows from Might Guy, that says precious little.
The Akatsuki's ability to create gigantic water domes by which to ensnare his prey would be Uvogin's undoing. More than rapidly depleting his Nen, it would prevent him from using his preferred screaming tactic since he could not suck in a breath to do so. Unable to move at impressive speeds, the Troupe member would be blood in the water ~ and Kisame's next meal.
2 Could Beat - Spider Demon Father (Demon Slayer)
Rui's "adoptive father," the patron Spider Demon was the greatest physical threat to Tanjiro and his allies, barring the Kizuki himself. He was capable of withstanding direct attacks from Inosuke, forcing the pigheaded warrior to repeatedly strike the same place to finally puncture his skin.
Despite impressive physical durability, the Spider Demon has never shown resilience toward immense blunt attacks, especially ones that could cave in dozens of trees at once. With the creature's mostly primordial fighting style, Uvogin's experience would also contribute to his victory.
1 Would Lose - Death Gun (Sword Art Online)
An extremely experienced marksman and member of the Laughing Coffin, Death Gun, decimated his competition through either sheer intimidation or skill with his rifle.
Uvogin may be able to make the sniper out from a distance by channeling his Nen into his eyes. Still, he would not be able to catch up to him before being filled with bullets, arguably failing even if he did (since Death Gun was able to match Kirito's speed, which in turn was so fast that it virtually broke the laws of his own game). By exploiting Uvogin's deceptively unimpressive durability, the sniper would find success.
