So I was surfing youtube and one of the channels I like is Screwattack, for its Death Battle videos. I haven't been able to ever really argue with their assessment of abilities and the science behind various feats. I haven't really gone into their other videos, mainly for just lack of interest. This one peaked my interest. Top 10 Wizards.
After watching this I was saying, "Aww, hell no." Shang Tsun made the list? Yoda was on the list? ALAKAZAM WAS ON THE LIST AND BEAT OUT DR. STRANGE? DUMBLEDORE WAS NUMBER 2 ON THE LIST AND MERLIN DIDN'T EVEN MAKE THE CUT?! This is too much for me. Time to rectify this. Restore my faith everyone. Let's get some Top 10 Wizard lists. Everything that was available in the video is available here, but let's actually keep them mages. Good, evil, game, book, movie, everything.
10. Negi Springfield
Series: Negima
Justification: While a child, Negi eclipsed his own father in many respects, who was a legend in his own right. Martial artist, teacher, prodigy, seasoned fighter and adventurer, and all around chick magnet. Negi was powerful enough to break a demonic death pack for one of his students, by going back in time. There are few things this child can not accomplish, and he is under 12. There is no telling what he could accomplish once he hits his prime.
9. Kinomoto Sakura
Series: Card Captor Sakura
Justification: She didn't create the Clow Cards, but she did change them all into Sakura Cards. Not only that, she changed the card of negative energy to created to balance the positive cards into a different positive card, with no ill effects. All of this was done before middle school. It's then reported in other series that she didn't stop there, and instead got more powerful than Clow. While dimensionally aware, there isn't a record of her going to a cosmic level otherwise she would be higher.
8. Gannon
Series: Legend of Zelda
Justification: I agree with video on this. He keeps coming back, is a powerful badass, but he does keep getting beaten, so I can't put him higher than 8.
7. Richard the Undead Warlock
Series: Looking for Group
Justification: He's undead. He uses great dark humor. He first slaughters innocents to gain power, then later protects them to gain power. He defeated the "Plane of Suck." He fights against those who manipulate fate. Most of all, he's UNDEAD. Even when he's killed, it doesn't kill him.
6. Gandolf
Series: Lord of the rings
Justification: Another I agree with on the video, just not as highly thought of. Plus, if I need to justify Gandolf to anyone . . . well, I just shouldn't need to.
5. Dr. Strange
Series: Marvel Comics
Justification: The Sorcerer Supreme, protector of the Earth dimension. Again, on the list and well justified, but with all of his comic history taken into account his power level is much higher than the video makes out.
4. Yūko Ichihara
Series: XXXHolic
Justification: The Fate Witch with the ability to gran wishes for a price, this power is incredibly diverse and strong. While there are limits to what she can do, Yuko has the ability to communicate across dimensions and enact her wish granting power upon them, even from where she is. Plus, the dedication to remain true to cosmic balance is a difficult mantra to follow to the extent she does.
3. Luca and Cloche
Series: Ar Tonelico II
Justification: Singing, in this dimension are the way that spells are cast. Reyvateils are part girl, part cyborg, part mage, who unlock more spells as more emotional levels get reached. These two are special being able to case a spell together than not only destroys the world that they currently live on, but create a new world and transport the people to it. The can at the same time CREATE AND DESTROY A WORLD. Enough said.
2. Ghaleon
Series: Lunar/Lunar:EB
Justification: Of course we all know Ghaleon enslaved the Goddess, and that is greatly impressive. Ghaleon goes further than that. When Zophar came back 1000 years of death was obviously nothing to him. He could have chosen anyone from Lunar's past. When he looked back and said, "Who is the biggest badass I can get to help me complete my plan?" the answer came back, Ghaleon. Then he let the group that would defeat that God, kill him. He could have single handedly taken out the 5 that beat a God.
1. Merlin
Series: Arthurian Legends/Books/TV/Movies/Games/etc
Justification: Merlin is the most well known mage ever. Everyone knows him. Some said he aged backwards in time. Some say his father wasn't mortal. Whatever the tale, he is the advisor to the greatest king to ever live. While his power was never truly measured in terms of battle from the legend's view, other media has speculated. If nothing else the versatility was always there. To not have Merlin even on the other list is a crime. He is the pinnacle wizard in my opinion.
