Katakuri is a very powerful character, having exceptional speed and durability supplemented by the exemplary skill with Observational Haki that allows him to see the future. With a Devil Fruit called Mochi-Mochi Fruit that allows him to turn his body into mochi, he is almost an invincible character, second only to the likes of the Yonko. But how does his power compare against the other characters in different anime?

10 CAN BEAT: Deku

Midoriya is the underdog protagonist from the My Hero Academia series. He has the strongest quirk One For All passed down onto him by his mentor Almight.

Deku is an amazing tactician and despite his inability to utilize his quirk at its full potential, his determination and creativity definitely help him in a fight. But, despite all that, there is a huge difference in strength between Katakuri and Midoriya. Katakuri can easily defeat Midoriya without the use of his devil fruit. This fight is just too much for Deku to handle.

9 CAN'T BEAT: Sabo

Sabo is one of the most important supporting characters in One Piece. He is the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, coming directly under Monkey.D Dragon as his No.2. He is also Luffy’s sworn brother and the bearer of Ace’s Flame-Flame Fruit.

A fight between Sabo and Katakuri is a difficult one, but Sabo can defeat Katakuri through the use of his devil fruit.

8 CAN BEAT: Boruto Uzumaki

Although Boruto is an exception among his peers, there is just too great of a difference between Katakuri and the young Ninja. Katakuri outclasses Boruto in every forte and combining that with his ability to see the future, this fight is a clear win for Katakuri.

7 CAN'T BEAT: Escanor

Escanor, the Lion's Sin of Pride, is one of the main-characters in Seven Deadly Sins. Escanor is hailed as the most powerful Holy Knight by the kingdom of Liones who carries a large ornamental ax called Rhitta as his sacred treasure.

A fight between Escanor and Katakuri will end up with a burned Mochi, or a vaporized Mochi because of Escanor’s cruel sun and proud flare. This fight is a clear win for Escanor.

6 CAN BEAT: Hisoka Morow

Hisoka is one of the major antagonist/supporting characters in the HunterXHunter series. Hisoka is a master strategist and a deceitful fighter. He is a deadly adversary, with tremendous physical ability and combat skills.

Although, Hisoka is a character that seeks out strong opponents, this time he has bitten off more than he can chew. Being an exceptional Transmuter, Hisoka’s Nen is like chewing gum. Quite fitting for his Mochi opponent, they seem to be a match made in heaven. But, Katakuri outclasses Hisoka in all feats possible. So, this fight also goes into Katakuri’s favor.

But he falls short here because, Katakuri can foresee the future, is much faster. Also Katakuri the brute force that even surpasses Luffy’s 4th gear. This fight is another win for Katakuri.
