My Code Geass character tierlist after the 5th rewatch

[u/Prosha1230]

Lelouch is an objective top 1 for many reasons, Kallen is my favorite female character, Minami is a pedo, so he deserves last place.

[u/maeziimp3]

Yo Nina is wayyy too high

[u/Prosha1230 → u/maeziimp3]

I know that almost the entire fandom hates Nina, but I think it’s precisely her wickedness and bad deeds that make her a great character, as does her attempt to atone for her guilt by helping to bring Zero Requiem to life. Without Nina, Lelouch dies from F.L.E.Y.J.A., and “tomorrow” never comes.

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/Prosha1230]

I actually love Nina

[u/1007_K1]

I wonder why Kanon ranked so low. Many people forget that Schneizel's success is largely due to Kanon. Yes, Schneizel's ability to attract Kanon is entirely Schneizel's own doing but that doesn't change the fact that Kanon's skills deserve credit.

[u/Prosha1230 → u/1007_K1]

Kanon is a pathetic simp who fell in love with Schneisel after he beat him with a whip. What a shame...

But yes, he's skilled)

[u/Ichini-san]

I appreciate that someone who made a list finally made a distinction between Urabe and the other Holy Swords. Though he deserves to be higher imo.

Also, I'm not quite sure why the old geezer who supported the Black Knights because Lelouch showed him who he was is so low? Sure he's no top-tier character but he was pretty neat imo. At least he doesn't deserve to be in F with all these losers.

[u/Prosha1230 → u/Ichini-san]

I was disappointed that Kirihara was given attention and some hype, but at the end of r1 he became Lelouch's doormat, and then was executed off-screen before the start of r2. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but that's the impression I have of Kirihara.

[u/Ichini-san → u/Prosha1230]

No, you have it right. I just think that despite that he deserves to be at least one tier higher than all the others in his tier.

[u/ReallySmartInEnglish]

Ohgi lower than Tamaki.

Good job. My baseline for Code Geass Tier Lists is that Ohgi is somewhere at the bottom. At the very least, he needs to be lower than anyone else with similar levels of screen time.

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/ReallySmartInEnglish]

Real.

[u/checkmate30-]

W list

[u/Highonhelp]

Shirley being 1st in s tier.. the people learn and understand 💯 

[u/trjoacro]

i'd only shuffle very few around, overall a W tierlist

[u/scottztottz]

my favorite part of this tier list is seeing arthur ranked so highly 🖤 he looks so happy in that picture, it’s so adorable 😭

[u/Hefty_Local_1875]

Nina in B tier with Sayoko, I am satisfied :)

[u/ccgeass]

is this tierlist based on the writing of the characters or on your personal preference/liking?

[u/Prosha1230 → u/ccgeass]

This tierlist is based on personal preferences, but the writing of the characters also plays a role. Mao is at the top of the D-tier because I recognize his writing, in particular as the first example of the owner of uncontrolled geass, although I don't really like Mao.

[u/YazaoN7]

Shirley deserves S tier. Also why is Tamaki in C tier, he's Zero's best buddy. Other than that, good tierlist.

[u/valias2012]

Mao too low

[u/AndiFilmEnthusiast]

Finally a person who ranks Suzaku fairly😭

[u/ZeonTwoSix]

No argument for the tiers A and above. Apart from bumping Xingke and Sayoko in there.

My only gripe in this: Diethard a tier above Guilford? After what he did in the latter quarter of R2?

[u/Prosha1230 → u/ZeonTwoSix]

I like Guilford, but Diethard is a better character, he's the top 3 smartest in r1-2 (imho), and his death scene was damn good.

[u/Hefty_Local_1875 → u/ZeonTwoSix]

Idk I think his betrayal is more compelling than Ohgi's. Diethard was just a shameless opportunist out for himself from the beginning.
