In terms of power level, Madara is a top-tier ninja – taking into account not only Naruto but ninja-themed anime in general. Madara's able to pull off feats that would leave even superheroes slack-jawed, such as throwing meteors around as if they were small pebbles. In fact, it takes Black Zetsu's betrayal to even defeat him.
If characters as powerful as Naruto and Sasuke couldn't finish the job, who possibly could? While there aren't a lot of anime ninja who can take Madara down, there are a few – particularly from Basilisk – who could put up more than just a fight.
10 Could Beat: Jubei Jimushi Would Only Be Able To Predict His Demise
Jubei is the resident fortune-teller in the Basilisk universe. He is so renowned that everyone in his clan comes to him to find out what the future holds for them. Jubei's predictions always come true, and this case wouldn't be any different.
The problem is that the future he sees would be Madara wiping the floor with him. The only way that this fate can be averted is if Jubei chooses not to fight Madara in the first place, as there is no way he would be victorious.
9 Would Lose To: Gennosuke Koga's Dojutsu Can Cause His Opponents To Kill Themselves
As powerful as the Sharingan and Rinnegan are, they aren't infallible. They can even fall under the influence of genjutsu if it's powerful enough. This is unfortunate for anyone who is battling Gennosuke Koga, one of the most overpowered characters in the Basilisk series.
One look into Gennosuke's eyes and any malice within his opponent will be turned against them. If he wills it, his opponent might even go on to kill themselves right in front of him. Madara doesn't stand a chance.
8 Could Beat: Shogen Kazamachi Would Be Taken Down Instantly
Shogen's strength in Basilisk lies in his spider-like qualities that allow him to spit webbing and scale sheer surfaces. It makes him difficult to deal with in that universe — being one of the few members of his team who excels in combat and not assassination.
Unfortunately for him, Madara is on a whole other level. He wouldn't even need to face Shogen in combat, instead taking him out as quickly as Itachi does Sasuke in Part 1.
7 Would Lose To: Kagero Would Poison Him With A Kiss
In a straight-up fight, Madara would destroy Kagero from Basilisk. Despite how skilled she is, she has nothing that can deal with Madara's high-level ninjutsu. Even a simple genjutsu could take her down.
When it comes to Kagero, though, it's never a direct fight as she's an assassin through and through. She'd find a way to sucker Madara into a situation where it's just the two of them — then, with a single kiss, Kagero would paralyze the Uchiha.
6 Could Beat: Hotarubi Is Only Chunin Level
As far as characters go, Hotarubi is one of the best in all of Basilisk. She's one of the deeper personalities and her death is worthy of such a great character. She is even fairly powerful in the series — as one of the better trackers thanks to her connection with her snake.
Sadly, none of that would help against Madara as he far outclasses Hotarubi ability-wise. She would be no more than a chunin in Naruto's universe, making her someone Madara wouldn't even need to use ninjutsu on.
5 Would Lose To: Tenzen Yakushiji Is Immortal
This battle would be more of a push than anything as Madara is far more powerful than Tenzen. However, due to the demonic symbiote living inside the main antagonist of Basilisk, he's nigh unkillable.
The symbiote makes Tenzen effectively immortal, capable of returning even after being decapitated. In many ways, he's a more skilled version of Hidan — Tenzen would no doubt get under Madara's skin, an adversary that the latter just wouldn't be able to put down.
4 Could Beat: Jubei Kibagami Is Too Grounded In Realism
Jubei Kibagami is the main character of Ninja Scrolls and overwhelmingly powerful when it comes to actual ninja. He's someone who could be immensely dangerous in the Hanzo Hattori era of the real world.
Naruto is far from traditional in terms of powers, reaching levels more in line with the shonen narrative. The Jubei vs Madara battle would be like Mr. Satan trying to fight Goku in Dragon Ball Z — a result that is obvious even before the fight gets underway.
3 Would Lose To: Crimson King Is Essentially A God
Overall, the Crimson King is one of the few characters who can go toe-to-toe with Madara for an extended period of time. His power at the end of Samurai Deeper Kyo is immense, essentially making him a God in that universe.
Crimson King can delve into his opponent's psyche, reading their thoughts and even controlling their minds if necessary. More importantly, his willpower alone is enough to destroy a building, making him capable of fighting against Madara's genjutsu.
2 Could Beat: Yuya Shiina Is Nothing More Than A Fan Service Character
Samurai Deeper Kyo focuses on samurai more than ninja, but there are still a fair share of ninja within the series. Yuya Shiina is a bounty hunter in the anime, one who initially displays moments of aptitude.
Unfortunately, she eventually becomes nothing more than a fan service character. Yuya would need more than that if she wants to keep up with Madara, who is capable of wiping the floor with most of the Samurai Deeper Kyo universe.
1 Would Lose To: Recca Hanabishi's Resshin Can Destroy Madara's Soul
A battle between Madara and Recca Hanabishi — from Flame of Recca — would depend entirely on the latter's ability to survive long enough to hit his opponent with Resshin. Without it, Recca wouldn't stand much of a chance as Madara could absorb most of his flame attacks, if not outright tank some of them.
However, Resshin cuts past the flesh and attacks the very soul of the opponent, forcing it to become part of the flame. If he wants to win, Recca's entire strategy needs to be built around striking Madara.
