Ainz would be a 2 I'd say

"Protagonists That Are the Strongest Characters in Their Verse" Tier List

I haven't seen enough of the show to make a complete judgement, but I'm inclined to give Sebastian Michaelis type 2 as well. He's got a handful of people that could fight him on even footing if they wanted (and one dude who kicked his ass) but for the most part he steamrolls the verse.
God, as much as I hate Black Butler, I hate the state of its wiki page even more, so I may have to actually binge the series in order to revise it.

I definitely recommend the manga for Black Butler over the anime, it's not even a contest.

Yogiri Takatou is an easy tier 1 choice.

Er...Mario’s nowhere near no. 1 in his verse. Bowser and DK are physically stronger, probably Yoshi as well. Not to mention the actual god tiers like Rosalina and Dimentio. Also pretty sure Olimar gets busted by any of the wild animals without his army. And Steven seems like a solid 3 given he’s only the top when he’s about to become a literal monster.

He wouldn’t. Not even in Archie, because Aurora, True Enerjak, and the Ancient Walkers exist.

I feel like we might need a Tier 4 for protagonists who are weaker than their own sidekicks.
Anyway, most Fire Emblem protagonists such as Marth, Alm, Seliph, Roy, Eliwood, Lyn, Eirika, Chrom, Lucina, ect are Tier 3 normally, but Tier 2 with Holy weapons. They are above average compared to other party members and foot soldiers, but when fighting multiple foes and bosses; they usually still struggle a great deal. But they essentially become Tier 2 when they get their Falchions, Divine Weapons, ect since they can essentially solo their verses by struggle against the end game boss. Though, a few FE protagonists such as Ike, The Three Houses protagonists, and maybe Hector and Ephraim are seen as one man armies even without their sacred weapons and are in a similar status as Dante.

The Netherite thing is gameplay. The Olimar thing is by Vs Battles standards. This thread is about how the story treats the character.

Also I think Archie Sonic could count. Even if stronger beings exist, he is still treated as a fairly invincible protagonist.

I mean I was referring to the real player and Olimar still is the strongest do to having the only weapon confirmed above 10-C and having about two real threats in canon via pikmin.
- 4,459
- 1,089
Yes but the story doesn't treat him as such. That's not the type of narrative Pikmin has.

Read the end poem.
Ok Olimar even then he only lost to a suprise attack Samus did too, plus his only real fear on earth is oxygen poisoning.

To be fair, I have not read the end poem. But clearly I had a very different interpretation of what Pikmin was about. Regardless, it's not my list so in the end you may take my opinion or leave it.

Yes, he struggled do get me wrong but he really never had be implied in real danger from the wildlife.

Fair enough. Honestly, if there's ever a similar thread for villains I might nominate the Plasm Wraith as a weird Type 2.

Maybe Kratos for Type 3 or 2? I mean, the dude pretty much ***** everyone in the verse via being A n g r y. Not sure if that's enough for type 2 though, since he still gets a beatdown here and there.
- 4,459
- 1,089
Also I'll nominate Kenshiro and Accelerator as Type 2s, Erza Scarlet as a Type 3, and Tatsuya Shiba as a very annoying Type 1.

Yeah Kratos is definitely a Type 3, in my opinion

Nick Scryer: He'd be type 2 honestly. By the end of the game, only one person could stand against him due to both absorbing the same powers but Nick was stronger before they absorbed siad power.

Homura Kamishiro is a Type 1. Is within the top 10 strongest in the verse at 10% power, is the second strongest in the verse at 30% power (below only Archangel Michael), and at 100% power defeats Michael while holding back to avoid killing him and preoccupied with defending bystanders and preventing collateral damage.
D is a high Type 2. Only ones who can even remotely match him are other Successes, of whom he is decisively the strongest, and his father, who has yet to fully appear.

I nominate Kazuma Yagami from Kaze no Stigma for Tier 1. Kazuma can beat anyone he goes up against with barely any effort. In the first episode of the anime he beat one of the most powerful characters in the series without getting too serious. If there's some sort of powerful demon or entity he normally couldn't harm, he can invoke his contract with the Spirit King of the Wind to overpower any threat solo.

I'd say MGR Raiden is a solid Tier 2. The absolute fodder of the setting is vastly superior to even the strongest character from the previous entries in the verse, the only group of people who can even compete with him are the Winds of Destruction, and even then only 2 gave him an actual fight. Armstrong was the only one who straight up overpowered him, but he took it like a champ and ended up kicking his ass
- 13,751
- 13,857
Well Tatsumaki Shiba is technically a type 2 as he has a sister Miyuki.
- 4,459
- 1,089
Yes but even Miyuki pales in comparison to him when he's unsealed, and he's pretty solidly portrayed as the sole god tier.
- 3,881
- 1,113
Rimuru Tempest for tier 1 other then some certain instances he has never been challenged and by EOS well nobody would even stand a chance
- 6,605
- 4,143
Would Makoto Naegi somehow qualify? At least in DR1.
He beats everyone in term of argument, is the only one to survive is punishment and he's the biggest chad in the bonus mode.
While he sucks in fight, he should deserves a place based on how his series is.

Hmm...
If we're going by that. Can we include sports anime? Like the generation of miracles.
Although technically they aren't the strongest in their verse at basketball, if we're talking about japanese HS teams they're completely unmatched except by each other and Seiren.
Edit:
And technically all of the generation of miracles are main characters in some form. Except maybe Akashi. As they're the center of entire arcs, movies, Specials, and OVAs.

Hmmm. I guess I'd argue for Cole MacGrath and Evil Cole from inFAMOUS for Tier 2, at least in their final forms. Evil Cole especially, seeing how he solos the rest of the human race in his ending with zero effort (albiet, with a lot of emotional toil). While Good Cole isn't as haxed, he still stomps the other strongest character in his timeline/era once he gets the RFI.
On a meta level, their hax completely shuts down characters from Delsin's era while they pretty decisively incon each other. While there is a character stronger than them from Kessler's timeline, both can incon him with their hax.
When ignoring end game upgrades though, all three inFAMOUS protagonists are solidly tier 3 (ignoring inFAMOUS 1 at least, thanks to Kessler). The Coles can already fight evenly with the other strongest character around by the time of inFAMOUS 2 and the only reason anything poses a threat throughout that game is because they lose their powers. Hell, the only reason they don't beat the Beast is because of regen, they flat out blow his head off. Once they're back to full, they can fight off their side kicks with relative ease compared to when fighting The Beast. Hell, Good Cole even fights Kuo and The Beast simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Delsin has all the powers of every other superpowered character in his game by the time it ends and is solidly the strongest Conduit of his era, even beating people with their own powers after having just acquired them.
