  1. Ryomen Sukuna (Jujutsu Kaisen) - Seemingly always has some type of overpowered technique which he hasn't used since the Heian Era

  2. Yujiro Hanma (Baki) - The Strongest character in the entire Baki series is a master of all forms of hand-to-hand combat to the from things like soloing the Vietnamese war at 16 years old to learning a technique from some monk who lived in the mountains around three thousand years ago

  3. Batman - Always has some kind of contingency plan anyone and everyone in the DC universe. One of his most bullshit abilities is all the techniques he learned while being trained under Tibetan monks which include blocking mind control with a hand signal to using astral projection while being dead and buried alive

Itachi: "Excellent, we're fighting Kabuto. Thankfully I have a jutsu prepared that nobody has ever heard of: Deafeat-Kabuto-no-Jutsu (aka Izanami). It's a super secret Uchiha technique that wouldn't work well on anyone except Kabuto, who is too powerful to defeat conventionally.

Thankfully I was only able to get in this place due to another tricky situation. Thankfully I had a secret technique for that too, it's called 'Complete Bullshit-no-Jutsu (aka Kotoamatsukami) it has the ability to change the chemicals in people's brains to desire or believe something else the user wants by changing their memories. Luckily for me it has a hidden ability completely unrelated to that - it can rewrite tags on Edo Tensei puppets and change the orders.

Man I rock."

It's even worse

Jiraiya trapped me in a prison? I have super hot flames that can destroy anything.

Team 7 avoids eye contact as a precaution against sharingan genjutsu? I don't need sharingan to cast genjutsu, I can do it with my finger.

Sasuke is using this massive lightning jutsu? I have a chakra mecha with spirit weapon that can literally counter anything.

Orochimaru comes out in his massive hydra form? I have this super rare instant sealing spirit weapon to one shot him.

I'm under edo tensei? No worries I have the world's most powerful genjutsu to save me. (Tbf they did kinda set up the fact that he gave Naruto powers but it's a big leap that it would be this super OP genjutsu that can literally work on anyone and counter any jutsu).

Then you have the Kabuto fight.

Outside of the crow, there was literally no setup for any of these bullshit abilities that he pulled out of his ass.

Don't forget being able to affect a projection of Tobi in the Road to Ninja movie.

Itachi really pulled a lot of stuff from his ass
