Best The Promised Neverland characters

6312 duels later, Ray remains the most lovable Grace Field escapee, with Emma close behind at rank 2.

Ray holds the top spot with 1407 ELO points across 81 duels, winning 73 percent of his matchups. Emma follows at rank 2 with 1388 ELO points and a 70 percent win rate over 101 duels, but the sharpest divide in the ranking lies just below her. An 82 ELO point gap separates Emma from Jemima at rank 3, marking the clearest split in community preferences. While the two main protagonists dominate, Jemima's third-place finish with 1306 ELO points shows that supporting characters have carved out their own followings among fans. Don and Anna round out the top five, both securing respectable positions in a tight middle tier. At the bottom, Mark struggles at rank 15 with 984 ELO points and a 27 percent win rate, suggesting the community reserves its affection for those who carried more narrative weight during the escape arc.

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.
