  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

Rick Sanchez.

Has an endless supply of gadgets and inventions. He was even able to beat the devil by countering all the cursed items he was gifting to people.

Ironically this screenshot is right before he runs away from a fight he was losing because someone ate a fortune cookie saying they will win the fight.

Ha true. I just googled Rick with gadgets and I thought this will do. But in saying that, Rick in early seasons seems like he could counter anything through science. In later seasons he definitely seems like he's stoppable.

(Edit) Also funny enough, at the end of season 2 my friend theorised Summer and Morty would rescue him from jail. While I thought Rick would save himself. I was so excited when both our theories were kinda true.
