Animethat involve characters battling with their lives on the line often show some serious injuries that would be impossible to heal in the real world. Thankfully, the healing archetype fixes that problem and allows characters to walk away with their lives, even after taking fatal damage.
Not all healers are made equal, as some can only heal trivial injuries while others can help regenerate lost limbs. Of course, you can’t make the healers in your anime too overpowered. Otherwise, the stakes get significantly lower, and the fights lose meaning.
8Min Byung-Gyu
Solo Leveling
Byung-Gyu is an S-rank Korean hunter from Solo Leveling. He specializes in healing and is one of the best healers in Solo Leveling. He can constantly heal his allies as they fight. Even if they lose a limb or take serious damage, Byung-Gyu can heal it all.
We see a prime example of this during the Jeju Island raid, as he can heal Ma Dongwook’s severed arm. Despite being an S-rank hunter, Byung-Gyu retired early because he was too traumatized from the first Jeju Island raid.
7Josuke Higashikata
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
Josuke is a high school student and the main character ofpart four of JoJo. Josuke’s stand, Crazy Diamond, has the power to repair everything. This includes living beings like humans, giving Josuke healing powers. Josuke is one of the kindest characters in the JoJo universe, which fits his stand power.
Josuke’s stand throws a barrage of punches when repairing objects, but it heals living beings with a gentle touch. Of course, Josuke’s stand also has incredible speed and super strength to go along with healing abilities.
6Shoko Ieiri
Jujutsu Kaisen
Shoko is one of Gojo and Geto’s closest friends. She is a doctor at Tokyo Jujutsu High. Of course, she is not ordinary because she uses the reverse cursed technique to heal her patients. Shoko is also very knowledgeable about general biology, thanks to her studies as a doctor.
While other characters in Jujutsu Kaisen can use the reverse cursed technique, Shoko is most likely the only one who can use the technique on other people. This makes her an invaluable asset to the Jujutsu world and an exceptional healer.
5Dende
Dragon Ball Z
Dende is one of the most important characters in Dragon Ball Z. AfterFriezais defeated, Dende becomes the new guardian of Earth and makes a stronger set of Dragon Balls for everyone to use. On top of that, Dende has special healing powers that can heal even fatal wounds.
Unfortunately, Dende’s healing can take a while, making it difficult to use in the middle of battle. However, you could technically say the Dragon Balls are a part of Dende’s abilities. This would mean that Dende can instantly heal any injury and also bring people back to life.
4Orihime Inoue
Bleach
Orihime has extremely strong healing powers that can restore lost limbs. Instead of healing the injury, Orihime simply rejects it and reverts it. This gives Orihime almost limitless healing potential. She most likely has the strongest healing abilities in the entire Bleach universe.
Of course, Orihime isn’t just about healing. She has many more interesting abilities that can help out during combat. Orihime’s only potential weakness in healing is that her powers are directly tied to her mental state. If she doubts herself, her powers also become weaker.
3Eri
My Hero Academia
In the world of My Hero Academia, almost everyone has some sort of special ability called a quirk. Eri has a mutated quirk that far surpasses most others. She can rewind anyone to their previous states until they vanish out of existence.
This may seem a bit too cynical for a healing ability, but it has incredible potential. We see this when Deku constantly destroys his limbs while using a hundred percent ofOne For All’sstrength. However, before Deku’s body can even register the pain, Eri rewinds the injuries as if they never happened.
2Nanika
Hunter X Hunter
Similar to the Dragon Balls, Nanika is a wish-granting being who can fulfill almost anything. She can also heal fatal injuries and remove Nen covenants that even the most skilled Nen exorcists cannot undo.
Of course, you have to fulfill a set of requests from Nanika after the wish is granted. Thankfully, Nanika will never make a cruel request after she heals someone. The only possible downside to her healing is that she must touch the target to heal them.
1Sakura Haruno
Naruto
Tsunade was the best medical ninja in the Naruto universe until Sakura took that spot during the Fourth Great Ninja War. Sakura has the Hundred Healings techniques that she learned from Tsunade. It allows Sakura to constantly heal her own body. At the same time, she can summon Katsuyu and heal thousands of other ninjas from fatal wounds.
Sakura is also a genjutsu specialist and a complete powerhouse. She can stand on the front lines of any battle and directly engage the enemy, unlike most other medical Ninjas. Without Sakura, both Naruto and Sasuke would’ve likely died long ago.
