Chainsaw Man Characters Tier List
Chainsaw Man runs on characters who are funny, awful and dead in quick succession. Twelve of them, all unranked, which leaves the real question open: do you rate the ones who carry the story, or the ones you would watch a spin-off about? Every entry starts in Unranked — drag or tap a tile to fill S through F, rename any row, then export the finished board as a PNG.

Board saved automatically in this browser. Original.
How this board is built: the 12 tiles are an editorial starting set, not an official roster and not a published ranking — every entry waits in Unranked until you place it. Item tiles are original pictograms or two-letter emblems drawn for this site rather than character artwork, film stills or club logos, so nothing here is licensed material reused from a rights holder. Tiers you set are your own judgement.
What's included in this Chainsaw Man Characters board
The board arrives with all 12 entries present as tiles and none of them assigned to a tier. That is deliberate: a template that opens with a finished ranking only invites you to agree or disagree with whoever made it, whereas an empty ladder makes you commit to an ordering of your own. Drag a tile onto a row, or on a phone tap the tile and then the tier you want. You can add rows for extra categories, rename the standard ones, and remove any entry you do not recognise — a list you can defend is more useful than a long one you cannot.
How to rank this Chainsaw Man Characters board
Start with unpredictability, because that is the engine of the series. A character who can do anything keeps a scene alive, while one who reacts exactly as expected flattens it. Then weigh screen presence: how much a scene improves the second a character walks into it, regardless of plot importance. Third, judge arc payoff. A build-up that lands earns a high row; a build-up cut short by the author's love of abrupt exits is worth a note rather than a silent demotion. Finish by deciding how much you weight likeability. Several of the best-written characters here are not people you would want to meet, and a list that only rewards niceness will misrepresent the show.
Using the board without over-thinking it
Most people finish a board like this in a couple of minutes and then reorder the middle rows for another ten. That middle is where the honest disagreement lives, so do not rush it: place the obvious top three and the obvious bottom three first, then work inward. If two entries still feel identical, that is a real observation — say so in a row note or a text tile rather than inventing a difference. When the ordering settles, export the PNG so the arrangement is saved somewhere permanent, and copy the share link if you want someone else to argue with it.
Ranking criteria used here
- how unpredictable they are
- screen presence
- payoff of their arc
Before you share it
Put your criterion in the board title, so a reader knows whether they are looking at a favourites list or an analytical one. If the subject changes with patches, seasons or releases, add the date. And remember the share link carries tier names, colours and the tile order — uploaded photos stay on your device, so export a PNG when those matter.

Does a character's death change their ranking?
It changes the payoff score, not the presence score. A short arc that lands can beat a long one that fizzles, and that is the most interesting argument on this board.
Should part two characters be added?
Yes, as text tiles, but keep them in a labelled row. Mixing parts makes the list hard to read for anyone who only watched the anime.
