Project SEKAI Character Tier List: Rank Your Favorites
A Project SEKAI character tier list is most useful when you define what you are ranking: personal favorites, vocal preference, writing or design. irank's supplied template contains 26 portraits you can arrange into your own tiers. Treat it as a starting image set, and explain your story scope and criteria before sharing the result.
Choose what this Project SEKAI ranking covers
Start with the portraits you intend to judge and the material you know. A favorites list based on the stories you have read can differ from a vocal-preference list based on the songs you have heard. State that scope rather than suggesting your experience covers every character appearance.
The supplied irank template has 26 portraits. Check its actual images before ranking, and leave unfamiliar entries outside your scored tiers. The template count describes this image set; it is not a claim to include every current NPC, character version or illustration.

Choose a criterion you can apply consistently
Choose one main question for the board. The table offers possible criteria, not scores for the cast. Make a separate board if switching criteria would change what a placement means.
| Criterion | Question to answer | Useful explanation | Scope to disclose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vocal preference | Which voices and performances do I enjoy most? | Tone, delivery or an interpretation you enjoyed | Songs and versions you have listened to |
| Writing | Which character stories work best for me? | Motivation, development or relationships | Stories read and your spoiler boundary |
| Design | Which visual designs do I prefer? | Silhouette, costume, expression or color choices | Base designs or specific illustrations |
| Unit preference | How much does the group context shape my enjoyment? | Music, interactions or the group dynamic | Whole-unit preference or individual preference |
Use unit context without deciding every placement for you
The official character directory lists groups including Leo/need and Vivid BAD SQUAD. Its character profiles identify Ichika Hoshino with Leo/need and Kanade Yoisaki with Nightcord at 25:00. Use the publisher's directory when checking names and affiliations.
Liking a unit does not require giving all its members the same tier. Ask what you enjoy about each character within that context. If you intend to rank units as groups, explain that purpose separately from ranking individual portraits. Otherwise, a reader may mistake a group preference for a judgment about each member.
An example S–D rubric for personal favorites
For a favorites board, define the tiers before filling them. This sample rubric describes personal enjoyment; it does not assign official or community positions to any Project SEKAI character.
- S: My strongest favorites among the portraits I am assessing.
- A: Characters I strongly enjoy and can explain why.
- B: Characters I like, although they are not major favorites.
- C: Characters I have mixed feelings about or limited attachment to.
- D: Characters I get little enjoyment from within my stated story scope.
Explain close choices with the same standard
For two close vocal choices, name the performances you considered and the quality you preferred. Personal vocal taste is easier to discuss when you describe delivery or tone than when you declare a performer universally superior. If you have heard very different amounts of each character, acknowledge that uneven comparison.
For two close writing choices, use the same question: which motivation, relationship or development affected you more within the stories you know? Sharing a tier is reasonable when you cannot explain a meaningful difference. Say whether position within a row has any additional meaning.
Set a spoiler boundary for story-based judgments
Tell readers whether your ranking draws on introductions, particular stories or everything you have personally read. A character may land differently for someone who has reached a different point. That difference can explain disagreement without making either opinion careless.
Keep a general explanation focused on traits, relationships or story roles. If a specific reveal is necessary, identify the material and mention spoilers before describing it. A ranking caption should not unexpectedly disclose the scene you are using as evidence.
Keep character preference separate from card performance
A favorite-character placement answers how much you enjoy the character. If your question concerns a particular card's gameplay performance, identify that card and define the gameplay conditions in a separate comparison. A character portrait alone does not explain which card or conditions you assessed.
Likewise, liking an illustration can inform a design-preference board without proving anything about gameplay. This guide offers a character-ranking framework, not card statistics or a current performance ranking.
Choose a cast board or an individual character rating
Use the supplied template when you want a visual comparison across its portraits. Existing public template images can be ranked and exported as a PNG without signing in. Keep your criterion alongside the image when sharing so the board remains understandable.
For a focused opinion on one character, irank has separate S–D character ratings with optional short reviews. Those ratings do not change your personal board. The series ratings page and the general character directory offer another way to explore the characters available for rating.
Frequently asked questions
Does the template include every Project SEKAI character?
The supplied template contains 26 portraits. Inspect the images for your intended ranking; that count does not establish an exhaustive current roster of every NPC or version.
Can I rank vocals and writing on the same board?
Choose one primary criterion or clearly explain a combined rubric. Separate boards make it easier to show when your vocal preference differs from your story preference.
Does a high favorites tier mean a better gameplay card?
No. Personal enjoyment and a particular card's performance are different questions. A gameplay comparison needs the card and conditions you are evaluating.
Can two characters share a tier?
Yes. Group close choices together when your criterion does not support a meaningful distinction. Explain whether left-to-right order also matters to your ranking.
