target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nj.gov\/nj\/about\/famous\/nj_devil.html\"><span style=\"color:#f39c12\">Jersey Devil<\/span><\/a><\/strong>, a bat-winged, hooved, flying monstrosity with claws, goat-like horns, and a barbed tail that is said to haunt the Pine Barrens of New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After a rash of local sightings kicked off a panic in the early 20th century, witnesses claimed that the Jersey Devil was impervious to gunfire and that its blood-curdling scream was as loud as a freight train whistle. But how tough is the Jersey Devil, really? And how well would it do if it had to face off against the meanest, most diabolical devils&nbsp;the anime medium has to offer?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To explore these questions, please find below a humble list of six anime characters we&#039;re pretty sure&nbsp;could take&nbsp;the Jersey Devil in a fight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"CENTER\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Hozuki, a demonic administrator, is all business in a scene from the Hozuki's Coolheadedness TV anime.\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire2\/f2ecbb148e6c462abdfea01893b2fb751603562900_main.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px;height: 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"CENTER\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hozuki_from_Hozukis_Coolheadedness\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size:16px\">Hozuki from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchyroll.com\/hozukis-coolheadedness?utm_source=editorial_cr&amp;utm_medium=news&amp;utm_campaign=news&amp;referrer=editorial_cr_news_news\"><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><i><b>Hozuki&#039;s Coolheadedness<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As the chief administrative assistant to King Enma of Japanese Hell, Hozuki would have absolutely no time for the Jersey Devil&#039;s nonsense, and if he didn&#039;t feel like effortlessly overpowering the beast with his inhuman strength, Hozuki would merely bury the Jersey Devil in a mountain of paperwork, crushing its unruly spirit with the power of bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"CENTER\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Akane Koumoto, a tiny but powerful demon posing as a high school principal, laughs maniacally in a scene from the Actually, I Am.

Not only can she blend in without arousing suspicion in her guise as a high school principal (despite the obvious horns sticking out of the sides of her head), but when push comes to shove, she can use her dark magic to summon asteroids for an orbital bombardment, eliminating both the Jersey Devil and the entire state of New Jersey in one fell swoop.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"CENTER\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Rin Okumura and his familiar spirit, Kuro, admire the view in as scene from the Kyoto Arc of the Blue Exorcist TV anime.\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire2\/3b1bfdcd9f6b4641f1c10272aff688d61603563083_main.jpg\" style=\"width: 640px;height: 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"CENTER\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rin_Okumura_from_Blue_Exorcist\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size:16px\">Rin Okumura from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchyroll.com\/blue-exorcist?utm_source=editorial_cr&amp;utm_medium=news&amp;utm_campaign=news&amp;referrer=editorial_cr_news_news\"><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><i><b>Blue Exorcist<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Between his magical blue flames and&nbsp;supernatural parentage, Rin Okumura has the Jersey Devil beat both in the realms of magical prowess and paternity.

Azazel would kill the Jersey Devil with kindness by offering it a hand-crafted&nbsp;teddy-bear, thus forcing the Jersey Devil to admit defeat.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"CENTER\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"CENTER\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Santa_from_Hayate_the_Combat_Butler\"><\/span><span style=\"font-size:16px\">Santa from <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.crunchyroll.com\/hayate-the-combat-butler-season-1-2?utm_source=editorial_cr&amp;utm_medium=news&amp;utm_campaign=news&amp;referrer=editorial_cr_news_news\"><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><i><b>Hayate the Combat Butler!<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>He wears a suit the color of innocent blood.
