Immortality allows us to outlive the rest of humanity, being able to see every generation come and go as we continue to remain unchanged for all eternity.

This amazing ability grants you the power to never die which means anyone who tries to take you out, you just regenerate and laugh at their misfortunes.

However, each anime treats immortality a little differently. Some characters just won't die or get hurt, others won't feel effects of aging, and then some characters are so over powered, they might as well be immortal. Check out our list of top 10 immortal characters.

10. Ryuk from Death Note

Ryuk is a grim reaper, a race of beings charged with observing the human world and taking human life. Shinigami do this through the use of a Death Note, magical notebooks that kill anyone whose name is written inside.

In conjunction, Shinigami can see the name of anyone they look at so that they know what to write.

9. Zombieman from One Punch Man

In the world of One Punch Man, most superheroes who obtain S-class do so through destructive might. The majority of S-class heroes could wipe out entire cities within an hour if they felt like it. Zombieman is the exception to this rule, specializing instead in defense.

How, you ask? Immortality of course! While offensively he is merely a well-trained fighter, he has the defensive advantage of being unable to die.

8. Manji from Blade of the Immortal

Manji is an immortal samurai, but he doesn't like it very much. Manji was cursed with the Kessen-chu that a nun placed in his after he killed 100 good men in the name of his wicked daimyo. In order to break the curse, Manji must kill 1,000 evil men to pay his debt.

7. Elder Toguro from Yuu Yuu Hakusho

Once a human being, Elder Toguro was turned into a demon at his own request as a reward for winning a fighting tournament. The Elder brother gained the ability to shapeshift. While he could initially be killed by destroying his brain or heart, surviving a near-death experience made him truly immortal.

Ultimately he was defeated when the fox demon Kurama latched him to a tree that locks you in a nightmare while slowly sucking the life out of you, leaving Elder Toguro to suffer forever in the trees limbs since he could not die.

6. Rin Asogi from Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne

Immortality makes life a living hell for Rin. Being infected with the Time Fruit means that Rin comes back to life after being killed. This isn't a form of reincarnation, since she comes back in the same body, has the same personality, and the same memories. Rin lives her life trying to stop Apos from becoming the permanent guardian of Yggdrasil.

5. Kaguya Ootsutsuki from Naruto: Shippuden

Originally a denizen of another world, Kaguya came to Naruto's home planet in search of the legendary God Tree. In time she consumed the tree's fruit, gaining immense power and becoming a monster known as the Ten-Tails as her absolute power began to corrupt her.

Ultimately she was stopped by her sons who were forced to rip her power out of her, split it into nine smaller giant monsters, and then seal her in the Moon after she still would not die.

4. Alucard from Hellsing Ultimate

Vampires are immortal, as long as they don't get hit by a stake or sunlight. Alucard gets the added bonus of being one of the most bad ass vampires ever.

Alucard seem to be very immortal with a millions of souls or the bloods as his energy sources to keep him sustainable to any fatality and destructions. He has all sort of super-human speed, strength, reflexes, agility and immense accuracy with his gun that makes him unstoppable.

3. Kars from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

Kars is the leader of the Pillar Men, four survivors of an advanced race of humanoids that once ruled over mankind. The Pillar Men increased their power over time by creating stone masks that would strengthen humans by turning them into vampires and then consuming them for their power.

The ultimate goal was to make a stone mask that could make them fully immortal, which Cars succeeds in doing. Even sunlight and the power of Hamon, the only two weaknesses of the Pillar Men, now have no effect on his body.

2. Ban from Seven Deadly Sins

Ban is the sin of greed and a fox symbol is located on his lower left abdomen. Due to the false information that was released to the kingdom, Ban had been imprisoned in the baste dungeon to serve out the rest of his life.

Fortunately for Ban, he can't die so he instead tries to break out of his cell to reunite with his fellow members. Without spoiling too much of the show, Ban gained immortality from the fountain of youth in the fairy king's forest which led to his nickname "undead Ban".

1. C.C. from Code Geass

C.C. possesses a power known as the Code, which allows her to bestow another power known as the Geass upon human beings. She is an immortal witch, neither suffering from age, illness nor capable of being killed by conventional means.

Any injuries she suffers immediately heal, even if she is incinerated, blown up, decapitated, completely deleted, or even if she is completely destroyed to the sub-atomic level, she will still return to life. She simply can't be killed by anything as she has true immortality on every inch of her body and mind.
