While at first glance seemingly like a typical magic school anime, Mashle: Magic and Muscles takes the “overpowered protagonist” trope and graces fans with a hilarious fantasy slice-of-life series. However, Mash’s journey to become one of the school’s famed Divine Visionary students is rife with trouble in the form of enemies and rivals inside and outside the Academy.

This article contains spoilers for both the Netflix adaptation of Mashle: Magic and Muscles and future events in the manga.
10 Famin
The Card Meister And 2nd Strongest Of The Devil’s Quintuplets
First Appearance | Chapter 102 |
---|---|
Powerset | Transparency |
Status | Incarcerated |
Among the Devil’s Quintuplets, Famin has quite the most unique appearance. Boasting a purple-white jester outfit similar to Hisoka but complete with a jingling hat, the ever-smiling Famin doesn’t hesitate to unleash his inner sadist. Being a powerful magician, Famin relies on a deck of cards instead of a wand, using it as a conduit for illusory spells. These cards are extremely sharp and work alongside his circus-themed tools, complete with unnamed spells that allow him to conjure game-like apparatuses and set lethal rules.
However, Famin’s true magic lies in Transparency. This allows him to turn objects invisible, and then manipulate these invisible objects to aid in combat. Taking on the motif of a traditional illusionist, Famin uses Transparency to trick opponents into thinking things have vanished or teleported, only to reappear as attacks or shields. Being a triple-liner, Famin can pull off a Yu-Gi-Oh! and even do summoning magic, transforming his wand into twin blades and then calling forth a demonic clown that hides Famin’s presence until he strikes. Orter Madl eventually defeats him.
9 Orter Madl
Triple Liner Sand Magician With Extremely Flexible Magic
First Appearance | Chapter 40 |
---|---|
Powerset | Sands |
Status | Alive |
Among the Divine Visionaries working in the Bureau of Magic, Orter Madl possesses one of the most flexible forms of spellcasting in the magic anime series: Sands. Orter’s mastery over sand is similar to that of Gaara in Naruto, allowing the three-liner to condense sand to cut through steel or easily block Mash’s immensely powerful physical attacks.
Despite his youth, Orter is among the rare of the already-rare three-liners to access Thirds, allowing him to summon the unnamed God of Sand from within his wand. Unfortunately, the full powers of this Third have yet to be revealed, meaning it’s unknown what level of power Orter truly possesses. However, among his notable feats were one-shotting Famin and contending with Doom at 70 percent power.
8 Renatus Revol
An Immortal Necromancer Who Controls The Dead
First Appearance | Chapter 40 |
---|---|
Powerset | Undeath, Immortality |
Status | Alive |
At first glance, one wouldn’t think that Renatus Revol is the leader of the Magical Cemetary Administration. However, beneath the scar on his right cheek and his casual vested appearance is a powerful triple-liner who relishes in the permission to kill criminals. Among Divine Visionaries, Renatus is known for Undeath, his magic that allows him to summon and manipulate giant undead body parts like a Necromancer in a game such as Diablo.
What truly sets Renatus apart is his immortality, essentially allowing him to regenerate lost limbs at incredible speeds. In emergencies, Renatus can use the full extent of his triple-liner status to summon the God of Death, Thanatos. This initially takes the form of a skeletal scythe that replaces his finger wand, which can upgrade into Thanatos Inclination, practically summoning the God of Death himself onto the battlefield.
7 Ryoh Grantz
Captain Of The Magic Security Force, Can Stop Adam’s Darkness And Innocent Zero’s Magic
First Appearance | Chapter 40 |
---|---|
Powerset | Lights |
Status | Alive |
Facing Adam’s existence-erasing Darkness can become a frightening experience, with Ryoh Grantz being the only one with the firepower capable of resisting it. Presently the Captain of the Magic Security Force, the egotistical Ryoh Grantz treats the world as his stage, with his personality fitting his magic, Lights. Through his magical prowess, Ryoh can manipulate light in various forms, usually through rays of light that can pierce through buildings. In regular combat, Ryoh uses light to teleport, shield others, and blind his opponents.

As a Divine Visionary, Ryoh can use his Thirds to summon Hyperion, the God of Light. Perhaps most remarkable among Ryoh’s feats is his Lights’ ability to counteract magical darkness. He can resist the destructive power of Adam’s Darkness, force the immensely powerful Doom to power up to 80%, and contend with Innocent Zero’s dark magic.
6 Meliadoul Amy
Superhuman Magical Strength, Wields The Mortal Enemy Of Dark Magic
First Appearance | Chapter 2, Episode 2 |
---|---|
Powerset | Superhuman Magical Strength, Cellular Magic |
Status | Alive |
Known as one of the pupils of Adam Jobs, Meliadoul Amy is known for her cheerful exterior that contrasts with her monstrous strength and strict teaching acumen. Similar to Sannin Tsunade of Naruto, Meliadoul possesses an incredible physique that makes her nigh-unmatched in physical combat. The exact kind of magic Meliadoul possesses is unknown, though she can become strong enough to throw someone to a flying fortress, as well as teleport to Innocent Zero quickly enough to attack him. Meliadoul’s magic also affects her on a cellular level as it can boost her physique and even modify armored knights upon “plugging” in her data.
Such is the depth of her magical prowess that Meliadoul’s life-affecting magic can create organs such as hearts and even heal injuries. Among her many items is a magical chainsaw that heals pain and exhaustion in exchange for excruciating pain, as well as the Wind-up Key of Life that can provide continuous healing. She also possesses the Moly Staff, the mortal enemy of dark magic, which can absorb and redirect attacks. Not much is known about the full power of Meliadoul’s magic, though her combat experience seems to match Mash’s and Doom’s base strength.
5 Wahlberg Baigan
Headmaster Of Easton Magic Academy, Manipulate Space
First Appearance | Chapter 2, Episode 2 |
---|---|
Powerset | Spaces, Ancient Soul Spell, Magic Dispelling |
Status | Alive |
Whereas Harry Potter has Albus Dumbledore as the ever-wise headmaster, Mashle has Wahlberg Baigan as an elder mentor figure. However, beneath his elderly appearance is his status as an apprentice of Adam Jobs, making him one of the most powerful magicians in the land. Wahlberg is known for Spaces, being able to manipulate space itself. When using his summon, Wahlberg can warp space in different areas at the same time. Moreover, his Thirds allows his wand to manifest its inner god, with Uranus Inclination capable of erasing the existence of everything in a particular area.
While Innocent Zero will eventually steal Wahlberg’s magic, the headmaster still possesses incredible magical powers. On top of his magic, Wahlberg can use fire magic and even an Ancient Soul Spell that can erase a person’s soul to such an extent that it can never return to its original body.
4 Adam Jobs
Founder Of The Bureau Of Magic, Established Magic Society
First Appearance | Chapter 65 |
---|---|
Powerset | Darkness |
Status | Deceased |
Considered the founder of the Bureau of Magic and the backbone of magical society, Adam Jobs remains one of the most skilled spellcasters in the Mashle magic anime series. In life, Adam sought to help magicless people through the Bureau. Unfortunately, his legacy has been twisted after his death, resulting in today’s discrimination against the magicless. Adam is also known to be skilled enough to train three of the strongest spellcasters in the known world: Wahlberg Baigan of Easton Magic Academy, Mistress Meliadoul Amy, and Innocent Zero’s eponymous leader.

As a three-liner, Adam Jobs possesses divine-level magical prowess, to the point where his signature Darkness is unmatched by anyone in his time. Adam’s access to the void allows his attacks to “erase” its targets from existence. Unfortunately, little is known about the full extent of Adam’s abilities, except perhaps that he can transform his wand into a skeletal scythe, and his Third can presumably summon Lucifer, the God of Darkness.
3 Doom
Inhuman Strength, Create Mirror Copies
First Appearance | Chapter 99 |
---|---|
Powerset | Mirage, Immense Strength |
Status | Incarcerated |
To say that Doom possesses incredible strength much like Younger Toguro of Yu Yu Hakusho is an understatement, as the Mashle character is likely the only one save for Innocent Zero to match Mash in terms of physical prowess. As a warrior, Doom possesses the massive Caladbolg that allows him to channel his magic and attack at a distance, as well as a Master Cane that allows his physique to surpass their already-superhuman limits. In most instances, Doom is using 50 percent of his magic power, and he barely grazed 70 to 80 percent power when outpacing Revol’s Thirds.
Doom normally doesn’t need to use his magic, but Mash’s appearance forced him to use Mirage. Truly the epitome of an OP antagonist, Mirage lets Doom make copies of himself. When activating his Secondth called Collideoscopes, a large kaleidoscope projects countless copies of Caladbolg that attacks the opponent all at once. And when this proved useless against Mash, he called forth the God of Bounty, Freyja, in his wand to channel his Thirds that allowed him to create countless Dooms of equal strength. None of these abilities were able to defeat Mash’s incredible physical capabilities.
2 Innocent Zero
Time Manipulator, Magic Stealer
First Appearance | Chapter 39, Episode 12 |
---|---|
Powerset | Timez, Magic Stealing, Shapeshifting, Magma Magic |
Status | Incarcerated |
The immensely powerful magic of Innocent Zero is a bad match to his megalomaniacal tendencies, especially when he turned his back on his master Adam Jobs’s principles to pursue a life of evil. Through Timez, Innocent Zero can manipulate time itself to his bidding, allowing him to accelerate and rewind time on himself and the people around him in a myriad of ways. Such is the power of Timez that Wahlberg considers the most powerful personal magic, with Innocent Zero able to use it to age people who touch him by a hundred years or even restore someone to life with just a fragment of their flesh.
Through his summoning, Innocent Zero can call forth the God of Time Chronos to evolve his powerful magic. Outside Timez, Innocent Zero can create entire wands and even steal magic such as Wahlberg’s Space and Adam Jobs’s Darkness. However, Innocent Zero’s other feats include the possession of a Demonic Form and a god-like Perfected Form. Had it not been for Mash, Innocent Zero may have achieved a feat similar to Sosuke Aizen of Bleach and have become a god among all.
1 Mash Burnedead
Ridiculous Physical Strength That Can Match A God
First Appearance | Chapter 1, Episode 1 |
---|---|
Powerset | Muscles Magic |
Status | Alive |
Taking cues from the likes of the unbeatable Saitama, Mash Burnedead is the magicless student who can outclass his powerful magician peers with brute force. Known for his love for cream puffs, Mash is a kind-hearted student who only wants to become a Divine Visionary for a peaceful life with his adoptive father. Unbeknownst to him, he’s actually the youngest child of Innocent Zero, possessing self-proclaimed Muscles Magic that uses the full strength of his body without any magic power.
Such is Mash’s incredible control over his body that he can achieve superhuman feats capable of tearing through castles. Removing his weights reveals an Unlimited Physical Mode that unleashes his full power, and a lethargic Weakness Mode makes him as flimsy as paper so that he can avoid the attacks of Doom at 100%. Mash’s strength is so ridiculous that he’s able to defeat Perfected Mode Innocent Zero not just in the anime’s timeline but across all timelines the time manipulator has created.
