Best Tokyo Revengers childhood friends

Hanagaki Takemichi leads the Tokyo Revengers childhood friends ranking with 1451 ELO points over 41 duels, ahead of Sendo Atsushi and Yamamoto Takuya.

The top three contenders cluster within a 209-point range, but the real drama unfolds lower down. A brutal 345 ELO points separate Yamagishi Kazushi in fourth place from Suzuki Makoto at the bottom, the ranking's sharpest divide. Hanagaki Takemichi's dominance proves no fluke: his 73% win rate signals consistent preference across matchups, while Yamamoto Takuya at third manages only 49% despite accumulating 55 duels. Sendo Atsushi holds second with 1252 ELO and a 53% win rate over 53 duels, maintaining a comfortable 199-point cushion over Yamamoto. The basement tells its own story. Suzuki Makoto wins just 11% of his duels across 37 matchups, suggesting the community draws a hard line between the core friend group and more peripheral characters. Yamagishi Kazushi, despite landing fourth, posts a respectable 57% win rate over 58 duels.

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.
