Spoilers for the entire Mashle manga, including its ending. Mash Burnedead is the strongest character by the end of the series: he cannot use magic, but his physical ability carries him through the final confrontation with Innocent Zero. The nine places below him are an editorial ranking, not an official list; close matchups and temporary power-ups make some placements debatable.
How this ranking judges strength
This is an end-of-manga list, not an anime-only ranking or a popularity list. It weighs demonstrated combat performance, opponents and outcomes, distinctive abilities and counters, and whether a character’s peak depends on a temporary boost. Shueisha’s official volume summaries establish major endgame matchups, but do not give a numerical power scale or publish a top-ten order. The placements below Mash are therefore editorial judgments, and the official anime character page is a reference for names and roles rather than a complete guide to manga power.
The series’ final collected volume is volume 18. Its publisher synopsis describes Innocent Zero as having transcended humanity and become godlike, with dark power and time magic, before centering the decisive battle on Mash’s struggle against him. That framing makes the final matchup the clearest basis for the top spot, without implying a measurable gap between characters.
Mashle’s 10 strongest characters, ranked
-
Mash Burnedead
Mash takes first because the final story places him in the decisive fight against Innocent Zero and shows him repeatedly rising to continue it. He cannot use magic; the official character reference describes him as overcoming magic with trained muscles. His ranking rests on what he demonstrates at the end of the manga, rather than on a formal power statistic.

Innocent Zero
Innocent Zero is the final opponent whose abilities are most explicitly described in the publisher’s end-of-series summary: he has become godlike and wields dark power and time magic. He is Mash’s strongest defensible challenger, but sits below Mash here because the ending’s central outcome is Mash’s struggle to overcome him. The publisher does not quantify their relative strength.
-
Doom
Doom ranks highly as one of Innocent Zero’s sons and a major opponent in the run-up to the finale. Shueisha identifies him as Innocent Zero’s eldest son in the volume 12 summary, while volume 16 highlights the continuing Mash–Doom clash. His placement reflects that endgame role, not an official rank or a claim that every matchup would resolve the same way.
-
Ryoh Grantz
Ryoh is identified by the official character reference as a Magic Security Forces Captain and Light Cane. Those credentials establish his position and role, not a publisher-issued strength ranking. His high placement is an editorial assessment of combat standing among the leading characters; the official sources cited here do not assign him a numbered position relative to the others.
-
Orter Madl
Orter’s official role is Magical Power Administration and Desert Cane. That title gives context for his standing in the magic world, but should not be mistaken for proof that he outranks every other fighter. He belongs among the strongest on this editorial list; the reference page does not establish an official combat order.

Lance Crown
Lance is part of the group Shueisha’s volume 12 summary says trains before the final battle. That gives him a clear place in the endgame’s serious combat circle, though the official summary does not compare his strength directly with the higher-ranked characters. His slot is consequently a judgment rather than a documented publisher ranking.
-
Dot Barrett
Dot also appears in the volume 12 synopsis as part of the pre-battle training group with Mash and Lance. That context supports placing him among the series’ notable fighters, but it does not establish a precise ordering among the trio or against the other characters here. This rank reflects his demonstrated combat relevance rather than a supposed official score.
-
Margarette Macaron
Margarette is included as a major high-level combatant in this editorial ranking. The official references cited for this article do not provide a direct numerical comparison or a definitive matchup result that would settle this placement against every character above or below. Treat the position as one of the more debatable slots.
-
Rayne Ames
Rayne’s place recognizes him as a leading fighter, but the official character material available here supplies roles and names rather than a complete end-of-manga combat ladder. The evidence cited does not resolve a definitive head-to-head order between Rayne and the neighboring entries, so this placement is necessarily approximate.

Abel Walker
Abel rounds out the ten as a capable combatant whose exact position is difficult to distinguish from other strong characters using the official summaries cited here. This is an editorial inclusion, not a claim that Shueisha has certified him as the series’ tenth-strongest fighter.
What the official sources establish—and what they do not
- The official character reference says Mash cannot use magic and overcomes magic with trained muscles; it also identifies Ryoh as Magic Security Forces Captain / Light Cane and Orter as Magical Power Administration / Desert Cane.
- Shueisha’s volume 18 page calls it the final volume and summarizes the Mash–Innocent Zero climax, describing Innocent Zero’s godlike state and time magic.
- Shueisha’s volume 12 summary identifies Doom as Innocent Zero’s eldest son and mentions training for Mash, Lance, and Dot before the final battle. The volume 16 summary covers Mash’s training and continued confrontation with Doom.
- The official Shonen Jump series page describes the magic-dominated setting and Mash’s inability to use magic, and lists the collected series through volume 18.
None of those publisher pages supplies a measured strength scale or an official top ten. VIZ Media’s July 2022 poll is a popularity poll, not a combat ranking; it lists Mash first and Ryoh tenth by popularity, which cannot substantiate their strength placements.
