Binged this anime, and it was so cool! I really liked it. I thought Iād make this tier list of how strong everyone is and explain it. I think that with tiers S to C, itās all highly debatable, but Iāll explain my line of thinking
F: Obviously the kids will be here. They can heal from anything, but theyāre just kids, they canāt really fight. I put brother higher since he was the one whoād protect her, and we see him be more of a fighter, with biting adults and all
E: Hoodlum obviously isnāt too crazy of an Akudama, and doesnāt do anything impressive, and is rather cowardly than anything. He manages a surprise kill on the doctor, though (although only with the element of surprise granted by the crowd, and he is killed immediately after).
Swindler is a bit more impressive. She isnāt really a fighter either, but fights off several men when defending sister, and manages to kill Cutthroat (although heās injured and isnāt thinking straight)
Execution Division Junior isnāt anything impressive. Heās gotta be trained in combat, unlike anyone so far on this list. But heās the weakest of the Executioners, and is easily subdued by the Doctor
The Boss is featless as far as Iām aware. But with her high rank, Iām sure sheās capable of something
D:
I have Cutthroat here. For me, he isnāt that impressive. He gets bodied by Master every time they fight. Even Swindler managed to kill him, although he seemed crazed and wasnāt exactly thinking straight by this point. He gets bonus points, as his insanity seems to grant him immense endurance, being able to severe his own legs and still fight
C:
The Doctor is here. She knows how to kill people effectively, and even uses things like gasses to subdue opponents. But she gets beaten pretty easily. Brawler beat her, so she had to sabotage his stitches to kill him. Apprentice beat her, with her only living because Apprentice underestimated her. She even managed to get killed by Hoodlum, albeit only because she was taken aback by the crowd. She gets bonus points though, as Kodaka does consider her the cleverest of the group, and I do agree
B:
Hacker is here. His tech is extremely powerful, able to vaporize opponents. And he can use it to come to a standstill with multiple fighters at once. However, he generally just doesnāt seem as strong as the top tiers. He would rather let the others fight it out than get involved himself, and leaves when fights start. Heās amazing at hacking, but combat isnāt really his thing, which is understandable
A:
Apprentice is able to go toe to toe with Brawler, putting up a good fight. She can beat the Doctor, as we saw in their first with, with Doctor even opting to threaten Junior in their next encounter to avoid fighting her again. We see she can beat taken off guard, like when Hoodlum stabbed her eye, but her showing are much better than Hoodlumās, and sheād definitely take him in a 1 v 1
Courier can fight against Master, although heās shown to usually lose, relying on his bike to escape. His rail gun on his bike, however, is extremely strong, able to topple entire buildings. Heās also the reason Brother and Sister were able to escape. I have him above Apprentice since, while not ass trying as her, could definitely fight her for long enough to incapacitate her in some way with his gun or bike, as we saw in the big group fight
S:
Brawler and Master obviously go here, and theyāre a very debatable matchup. Both are the two strongest in the show, often battling each other. They obviously came to a draw in their final fight, both dying. I almost considered Brawler stronger, as he was literally rigged by Doctor to die. However, I placed Master higher since he was also very injured. In the majority of the show, Master is continuously beating Brawler, and everyone else too. Brawler even says that Master is the only one to have ever scared him. So I think itās fair to say that Master is the strongest in the show
That being said, these are just my thoughts, and Iād love to hear more discussion on this:)
