20 Manji - Sword of the Immortal

Sword of the ImmortalsManji had a curse on him, but not the typical evil witch curse; he was infected with Kessen-Chu, also known as Sacred Blood Worms, which made him immortal. An old nun who had these worms met Manji, and since he is a disgraced samurai who had killed a hundred innocent men, she cursed him by putting Kessen-Chu on his body. This allows him to survive lethal damage. Unlike many who are obsessed with immortality, Manji yearns for death. After his sister died, he vowed to take the lives of 1,000 evil men as atonement for killing innocents. The nun told him that when he did, the bloodworms would leave his body and let him die.

19 Orochimaru-Naruto

too much ofnaruto, Orochimaru is a plague in the village of Hidden Leafe.

As he captured countless ninjas and performed inhuman experiments, he took on various powers and eventually discovered a technique to achieve immortality.

This technique is called The Reincarnation of the Living Corpse or theTechnique for eternal youth and immortality. It allows you to find a victim and transfer your soul to your body. With his immense powers far superior to even the strongest ninja and his technique to live forever, Orochimaru was one of the most frustratingly difficult villains to masternaruto.

18 Zombieman - One Punch Man

Ia kind of man, heroes are ranked in a list of tiers, with the S rank being the top tier. Zombieman is not only a first-rate detective, but also one of the S-rank heroes, and for good reason, because he actually can't die. He regenerates so incredibly fast that even the most devastating damage won't knock him down. Although he is much faster and stronger than the average human, he is not as strong as many other S-rank heroes and cannot do things like build levels. When facing opponents of immense strength, you must be cunning with your choice of weapons and battle tactics. Still, whether decapitated or completely torn apart, he will regenerate and return to the fight, making him practically immortal.

17 All for one - My Hero Academia

all for one isfrom my hero academymain antagonist and by far the biggest obstacle for the heroes on the show. INmy completely academic world, the heroes' and villains' powers are called "quirks," and All For One's quirk is the ability to adopt other people's quirks. So unlike everyone else on Earth who only has one quirk, he has many. He gained immortality by stealing the property known as "Life Forse" from a hero named Kyudai. He has lived much longer than any normal being, which allows him to collect more and more quirks and become so powerful; it's pretty much impossible to kill. The manga isn't finished yet, so will it finally meet its demise? The odds are slim.

sixteen Muzan Kibutsuji - Asesino demonios

Slayer of demonsIt's full of incredibly powerful demons, but Muzan is the original and far from itthe most powerful of all.While weapons like the Nuchiri Blades can kill any demon and even be imbued with the power of the sun to make them stronger, these weaponsit doesn't even work on muzun. The only weakness Muzan possesses is the sun, which will kill him. However, through a long life he has had time to devise strategies to avoid the sun, so this is not a difficult obstacle for him to overcome.

15 Alucard Hellsing

Alucard is the main character inhell. He is the world's first vampire and thus has all the basic advantages of being a vampire, including immortality. He is resistant to most of the usual vampire weaknesses, but needs to suck the blood of his victims to avoid entering a death state; however, he would not die in the traditional sense. There are some weapons that can kill him, but only a few specific ones, and since he's an unstoppable killing machine with supernatural powers who's lost most of his humanity, this isn't much of a problem.

The Dwarf in the Jar: Homunculus, known as Father iFullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, is the main antagonist. INfull metal alchemist, The Eye is essentially God and represents all knowledge, and the Father was created from the essence of the Eye. The father is immortal, and although he is defeated in the end, he never really dies.

13 Saitama - One Punch Man

I superhelteparodia kind of man, the protagonist Saitama is One Punch Man. He is a seemingly normal man whois virtually indestructible. He says he got super strong doing 100 push-ups, sit-ups, squats and running 10K every day for a year. Of course, this wouldn't really work on an average human, so what's the real secret behind his supernatural powers? Who knows.

As it is, nothing and no one seems to make a dent in him. His only sign of mortality so far is when he was knocked all the way to the Moon, where he accidentally realized he couldn't breathe and jumped back to Earth. So, other than being starved of oxygen, it seems that there is nothing on Earth or beyond that could come close to killing it. Whether or not he is immortal and will live forever is unknown, but at this point it wouldn't be a surprise.

12 CC - Code Geass

CC offGeass code, known as C2 or the Immortal Witch, has been around for centuries. She has been shot in the head, burned at the stake, crushed by water pressure, stabbed with spears; either way, she came back from it. His immortality is a bit more complex than others. She has a sort of "biological backup system" where any injured body part can be replaced from the C world. But since there is no God in the C-world anymore, there is a limited amount of backups. This means she can die, but it can take an incredibly long time. The only way she could die for sure is if a code bearer killed her.

10 Sukuna - Jujutsu Kaisen

Ijujutsu kaisenyour feet are onespecial class cursed spiritlocked in the body of the protagonist Yuji Itadori. A long time ago, Sukuna's 20 indestructible fingers were all that remained after he was "killed". I know it doesn't make him seem immortal, but he didn't actually die, just his physical body. He is still alive as his cursed spirit is in his fingers. If someone were to eat one like Yuji does, Sukuna's consciousness would upload to them.

Once inside a host, such as Itadori, Sukuna can manifest new eyes and even mouths on his body, allowing him to see and speak without losing control of his own body. However, Sukuna can take over the host's body from time to time, much like a person with a split personality who switches back and forth. If someone ate all 20 fingers, it is believed that they would fully incarnate into their physical form.

This new head, this new consciousness, will have the same memories and personality, but it is just a copy and the original.

The only caveat to these immortals is that they are not truly immortal... Ajin can die of old age. It would be due to natural causes, the same as any human dying of old age. But apart from the impending death that time brings to us all, nothing can kill them, making them practically immortal.
