Best One Piece red scabbards

Kiku wins 66% of its duels and tops the Red Scabbard ranking ahead of Nekomamushi, who holds second place with 1295 ELO points.

A 45-point ELO gap separates Kiku from Nekomamushi at the summit, the widest margin in the top positions and a clear statement of the community's preference. Denjiro follows in third with 1287 points, barely ahead of Kawamatsu at 1284. The tight clustering from second to fourth place shows how competitive this middle ground has become, with win rates hovering between 55% and 58%. Kinemon rounds out the top five with 1250 points and a 52% win rate across 67 duels, suggesting steady but unremarkable support. At the opposite end, Raizo languishes at the bottom with 978 ELO points and a 25% win rate over 51 duels, trailing Kanjuro by 86 points. The basement placement of these two characters reveals which Scabbards struggle to connect with the community, while Ashura Doji sits just above them at rank 7 with 1093 points.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
