One of the most fearsome Attack on Titan characters is Reiner Braun, mainly due to his possession of the incredible Armored Titan. As a warrior of the Marley Empire, Reiner was trusted with the mission of stealing the Founding Titan from Paradis Island, and he toppled many walls and defenders alike during that quest.
With the Armored Titan's powers, Reiner can endure nearly any attack with ease, and return fire with his incredible strength, remarkable agility, and refined technique. Can he take on the characters from other shonen series, such as the fighters of the Bleach universe, to name one example? Reiner could take many of them down, while other Bleach characters will prove too tough to crush underfoot.
10 CAN DEFEAT: Lieutenant Marechiyo Omaeda Of Squad 2
The Lieutenants serve directly under the Captains, though they typically lack a bankai of their own. Marechiyo Omaeda, despite his size and big mouth, serves as the Lieutenant of Squad 2, the assassination squad.
Marechiyo can move quickly to get into position, then deliver a blunt strike with his shikai, which features three heavy metal balls with spikes on them. That'll take Reiner by surprise, but this shikai will fail to breach Reiner's armor. Then Reiner can seize and crush Marechiyo to finish him.
9 CAN'T DEFEAT: Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, Squad 11's Brutish Boss
It's true that Captain Kenpachi Zaraki is a melee warrior like Marechiyo, but his powers are vastly superior. Kenpachi has seemingly limitless endurance, and he lives for the thrill of battle. His zanpakuto can cut nearly any foe when enough of his power is released.
At first, Kenpachi might struggle to breach Reiner's Titan armor, but if he performs shikai, then he can use Nozarashi's cutting edge to hack through the Armored Titan's hide and split the Titan in half. Reiner can't come back from that.
8 CAN DEFEAT: Lieutenant Momo Hinamori, The Kido Specialist Of Squad 5
Momo Hinamori is a kido practitioner, favoring ranged attacks over brute force in battle. In fact, even her shikai, Tobiume, is kido-based and can set off explosions during combat. Momo can back that up with a variety of offensive and defensive kido moves.
These kido-based powers won't cut it against Reiner, whose Titan armor can endure any kido of Momo's caliber and then some. Momo can move quickly, yes, but at some point, Reiner will catch her off-guard, and crush her in his hands.
7 CAN'T DEFEAT: Captain Soi Fon, The Bee-Sting Assassin
Although Captain Soi Fon is petite and has a short sword, she is a real powerhouse against most foes. She was personally trained at the hands of Yoruichi Shihoin herself and can move with astonishing agility, grace, and speed on any battlefield, even by Captain standards.
Soi Fon's shikai allows her to "sting" an enemy and create marks, then kill the enemy with a subsequent sting on any of those marks. So, she can aim for the exposed flesh between Reiner's armored plates, and finish him in style.
6 CAN DEFEAT: Aaroniero Arurruerie, The Ravenous 9th Espada
The 9th Espada, Aaroniero Arurruerie, is the embodiment of gluttony. This Gillian-class Menos gobbled up 33,650 Hollows and added all their powers to his own, and he can even read the memories of his victims.
This was enough to give Rukia Kuchiki a serious fight, but Aaroniero's true form is big and slow, making it an easy target for Reiner's Titan fists. Worse yet is the fact that Aaroniero's torso is exposed, and Reiner can squash him.
5 CAN'T DEFEAT: Barragan Luisenbarn, The Embodiment Of Old Age
The skeletal Barragan Luisenbarn is also an Espada, but he's in a whole different league than Aaroniero. He ranks 2nd, and for good reason: he can rot away anything that comes too close, even kido spells or concrete.
Barragan's death aura reduces all things to dust, and that will be a serious problem for Reiner, who must use melee attacks to challenge Barragan. Eventually, Barragan will release his death-breath attack, and Reiner will be turned to dust on the wind.
4 CAN DEFEAT: Meninas McAllon, The Punching Sternritter
Meninas McAllon is a Sternritter, one of the 26 elite Quincy of the Wandenreich. She is a melee fighter, using The Power to deliver incredibly strong punches to pummel her foes. Her arms can become oversized and musclebound when she does this.
Meninas will surprise Reiner with her power during their fight, but Reiner's armor, size, and Titan regeneration will give him the edge, and then he can seize Meninas and crush her into a pulp. Meninas' power does little on defense, after all.
3 CAN'T DEFEAT: Captain Byakuya Kuchiki, The Noble Commander
Squad 6 boasts Captain Byakuya Kuchiki as its leader, and he is also the head of the Kuchiki noble family. Byakuya's powers reflect his personality and status: beautiful, elegant, precise, and absolutely ruthless in battle.
Byakuya's bankai, Senbonzakura Kageyoshi, can shred Reiner's flesh between his armored plates with a million sharp petal blossoms, and Reiner will be brought to his knees. Then, Byakuya can finish him with another blow to the neck.
2 CAN DEFEAT: Szayelaporro Grantz, The Scientist Espada
Against most enemies in the Bleach universe, Szayelaporro Grantz is a formidable foe, since he can study and then nullify his opponent's spiritual powers. Then he can use a variety of other abilities to torture his enemies to death, but none of this will work on the Armored Titan.
Reiner is immune to Szayelaporro's tricks, especially since he has no spiritual powers for Szayelaporro to nullify. So, Reiner is free to seize Szayelaporro and simply swallow him whole, and dissolve him in his gut.
1 CAN'T DEFEAT: Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya, The Child Prodigy
Despite his youth, Captain Toshiro Hitsugaya is a remarkable Soul Reaper and an inspiration to others. He wields a zanpakuto named Hyorinmaru, whose shikai and bankai harness the power of ice. Reiner is in trouble.
Ordinary ice attacks will not be enough to stop the Armored Titan's attacks, but Toshiro can call upon his strongest moves to trap Reiner within a massive pillar of ice or a cone of countless ice blossoms. Reiner has no way to break out.
