As the title says, a ranking of my favorite protagonists from their first episode/chapter/level whatever in temrs of who would win in a fight. This is specifically the first main series installment that came out and nothing else. In other words, no prequels, no pilots, no remakes, and no scaling to events outside the first installment. For game characters a level will be defined as the sequence of events up to the first boss fight or major scene transition including optional content.
Victory is by Death or KO. Characters are in-character but think each other are evil entities. Arena is Neutral Earth, Gladiatoral Arena. Characters start prepared for the fight.
32: Madoka Kaname (Puella Magi Madoka Magicka)
+14 Year Old Girl
+Prophetic Dreams
So as of episode 1, Madoka lacks any powers and is still a completely mundane civilian. If you allowed outside scaling she might be higher as she and Sayaka react to witch familiars, though within the ep itself, the witch familiars don't have any notable speed feats. Compared to the other physically normal humans, Madoka is relatively young and her personality is extremely compassionate and sweet, which would not be helpful in a fight.
31: Wirt (Over the Garden Wall)
+Somewhere between 14 to 16 year old boy
+Demonstrated minor athletics in avoiding the Beast-Wolf
+Implied to be smart, if overly cautious
Wirt is a boy, who typically post adolescendence have greater upper body strength on average, is possibly older, and has better feats then Madoka. His overly cautious personality is not great for a fight but is probably better suited then being compassionate and sweet since it suggests he would be more defensive.
30: Watanuki Kimihiro (xxxHolic)
+15 year old boy
+Can see spirits
+Minor gag speed
+Implied to be smart
Watanuki's spiritual sight isn't particularly helpful here. That said he has athletic human speed from gag of him running quickly away from spirits and reacting quickly for comedic effect. Given his high-strung personality, I can see him overwhelming Wirt.
29: Haruhi Fujioka (Ouran High School Host Club)
+16 year old girl
+Minor gag speed
+Ouran Honor Student
So Watanuki is a boy, but Haruhi is a year older which I think might balance out. The two have similar "move quickly to be funny" feats, but Haruhi is an honor student at her school which is better intelligence then Watanuki shows in episode 1. Plus while he is high strung and overly dramatic, Haruhi is even within ep 1 clearly practical and down to Earth. The last three on this list are pretty interchangable, and you can exchange them pretty easily.
28: Stanley (The Stanley Parable)
+Adult Man
-That's about it
Stanley is a fully grown adult man. Haruhi is probably smarter and faster by a small degree, but I don't think that's enough to make up the adult/teenager divide in physical strength.
27: Dante Alighieri (Commedia)
+Adult Man
+Avoided several wild beasts
Granted, Stanley is a modern man which are on average are larger and healthier then a man from Dante's time would be. That said Dante has something of a physical feat, which is better then Stanley has. This is especially true because Stanley is implied to be something of a dullard while Dante seems quite bright.
26: Princess Tutu (Princess Tutu)
+Superhuman grace and agility
+Plant Manipulation
If Tutu just had her superhuman grace and agility, I'm actually not sure if she would be able to beat Dante. That said her plant manipulation via her dancing would do it, she could bind him in a fight by conjuring and commandings vines to do so.
25: Frisk (Undertale)
+Superhuman stats (can kill monsters even in the Ruins, survived a long fall)
+Superhuman reactions (dodges waves of fire attacks from Toriel)
+Toy Knife
+Smart enough to solve puzzles
+Superhuman DETERMINATION
Frisk is signifigantly physically superior to Duck and his reactions and intelligence should allow him to dodge her plants long enough to tag her eventually, as Toriel's fire attacks came in a lot greater number and speed
24: Wander (Wander over Yonder)
+Building Level Durability (Tanked being thrown out of orbit)
+Subsonic+ Speed (Moved fast enough to be a blur to help several people in seconds, consistenly dodged Lord Hater's attacks who was fast enough to blur and crossed a large clearing in seconds)
+Can turn into a ball
-Obsessive Helper
Wander's stats are more akin to someone further up on the list but he has an obsessive need to help people even within the first episode. I can't see him mustering the will to hurt someone and even if he did, he would be likely to try to help them during their fight. His only real win condition is to tire opponents by avoiding their attacks. I think he could probably dodge Frisk's attacks for a long time if he had too, as Frisk in just the Ruins never shows superhuman speed personally, just reactions while Wander has high subsonic speed. Plus Frisk would struggle just to hurt Wander given Wander's dura.
23: Yusuke (Yu Yu Hakusho)
+Is a Ghost
+Superhuman Skill
Yusuke as of chapter 1 was a ghost who couldn't effect physical people and couldn't be seen or effected by physical people. He stalemates a lot of people on this list just because neither can affect each other although at the very least, being a ghost means Yusuke will outlast them. As he can only win via outlasting an enemy, similar to Wander, I thought it appropriate to put them together, with Yusuke above since Wander will run out of energy before a bodyless ghost will.
22: Yugi Muto (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
+Superhuman level/Superleaping (Leapt really high)
+Is a homocidal Egyptian Pharaoh's spirit possessing a teenage boy's body.
+Can initiate a game of darkness, a game in which one's true nature is revealed.
+Penalty Game: Mind Hax. Can induce illusory state of mind for people
As a spirit posesssing body, probably has the spiritual awareness to see Yusuke and initiate a game of darkness. Because at this time Yusuke's true nature and character was dark and violent, Yugi would be able to game of darkness him. Interestingly you can say the past 3 forma triangle as Wander's true nature is fully good and may not be able to be penalty-gamed. That said I think Yugi has a better chance of beating Wander then Wander does of beating Yusuke or Yusuke has of beating Yugi, both of which are basically impossible.
21: Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon)
+Wall Level (Created ultrasonic waves that disrupted the room she was in)
+Moon Tiara that turns people to moondust
+Superhuman speed (went from her room to Naru's house before Morga could kill Naru, dodged attacks from brainwashed civilians who quickly came from different parts of the city to her location)
+Clairvoyance (Her mask can see distant events)
+Superhuman hearing (Can hear distant sounds with her hairpieces)
-Is a clumsy crybaby, not a fighter
So I defintiely think Yami Yugi would freak Act 1 Usagi out, Yami Yugi being a scary dark other side to Hikari Yugi and Usagi being characteristically cowardly. That said the game of darkness would reveal Usagi's nature as heroic, as Usagi even in Act 1 selflessly risked her life to protect Naru and was a "chosen soldier". As such Yugi would struggle to hurt Sailor Moon, while her soundwaves or tiara throw could very well work on Yugi. Might take a while, but I think Sailor Moon eventually wins.
20: Cardcaptor Sakura (Cardcaptor Sakura)
+Has the Windy, an elemental force of wind that can be used to bind
+Has the Jump which gives superleaping
+Can seal spirits
Sakura's arsenal is not as versatile as Usagi's however the Windy is a really uesful card. It could blow away the tiara throw and because sound waves propogate through air could likely keep those away, before binding Sailor Moon while Sakura keeps distant with Jump. It helps that Sakura is somewhat athletic and also calm under pressure.
19: Cutie Honey
+Superhuman Strength (Has 4 times the strength of a human)
+Wall Level Swordswomanship (Can slice limbs and heads off)
+Superhuman speed and skill (Fights numerous opponents at once and defeated a Panther Claw Agent)
+Disguise Power (has 7 forms)
+Can use any vehicle
+Can apparently summon anything out of thin air
Honey vs Sakura is a weird one going just by first chapters. Windy could bind Honey but could Honey summon a ranged weapon with the Airborne Element Fixing System? It's kinda nlf-ish what it can do, although given how skilled she is and her disguise power, I imagine she can probably get the jump on Sakura, who is characteristically a bit naive, in most situations.
18: Minute Man (Freedom Force)
+Wall Level+ (Can crush a boulder and can pick up and throw cars)
+Can leap up to the top of a building
+Skilled melee fighter (can hit numerous foes at once)
+National Guard (Defense that deflects projectiles)
Minute Man is strong enough to overpower Honey, similarly skilled and can deflect ranged attacks from her via National Guard.
17: Omi (Xiaolin Showdown)
+Wall Level (Kicked apart a robot, can hop around pillars while wearing the two-ton tunic)
+Highly skilled, agile warrior (Trained as a Xiaolin Monk)
+Can blend into the shadows
+Can balance on two fingers
+Can walk on the walls, and ceilings too
Level 1 Minute Man vs Episode 1 Omi would be a really good fight imo. Minute Man is probably physically stronger but Omi is more skilled. That said, I think Omi would win because his other abilities are more helpful. Omi doesn't use projectiles for National Guard to deflect, and superhuman balance, adhesion and especially his stealth ae all skills that could realistically come into usage. Also I think he's probably faster as there are points he briefly turns into a blur.
16: Mew Ichigo (Tokyo Mew Mew)
+Wall Level+ (Her Transformation created a light that could be seen across the city and made the day sky look dark by comparison)
+Subsonic speed (Can move comparable to the mutanted rat who moved like a blur)
+Matter Purification (Turned the mutated rat back into a normal rat)
+Energy Projection
+Catlike senses
+Can tell the weather
+Catlike balance and agility
-Tires easily (Gets sleepy like a cat)
Mew Ichigo vs Omi basically comes down to whether Omi can get in close range. If he can, he can melee beat down Ichigo. Otherwise, Ichigo simply blasts him from out of his range. While Omi is highly agile due to his monk training, Ichigo also is from her cat dna. Whiel Omi is stealthy, Ichigo has catlike senses to detect through stealth. Ichigo can likely withstand several strikes from Omi while the inverse is probably not true. Mew Ichigo takes this more likely.
15: Hikaru Shidou (Magic Knight Rayearth)
+Low Building Level Strength/Durability (Could already completely destroy large monsters)
+Can shoot numerous flame arrows at her target
+Skilled swordswoman (trained in Kendo)
The only way I can see Hikaru vs Ichigo going Ichigo's way is if mew power can undo Hikaru's powers, however Hikaru's elemental fire powers don't seem to be a part of her body and thus wouldn't be purified. while Ichigo is faster and more agile then Hikaru, one blow or arrow from Hikaru would absolutely stop Ichigo, and Hikaru can spam flame arrow at a rate and constancy more then Ichigo can spam her Ribbon Strawberry Check, while Ichigo would struggle to hurt the magic knight. Even if Ichigo can purify Hikaru of her fire magic, Hikaru's strength comes from her force of will and she could still possibly take it.
14: Superman (DC Comics)
+Wall Level+ Strength (Casually smashed a car with one hand and pulled a steel door off it's hinges)
+Low Building Level Durability (Nothing less then a bursting shell can break his skin, tanked a bullet thinking it was a laughing matter)
+Subsonic (As fast as a locomotive)
+Superleaping
Superman can get close to Hikaru via his superleaping and his superior speed, and possibly disarm her of her sword. If that's the case, then Superman's equal durability, superior strength, and greater speed should allow him a clean win. Superman should be tough enough to survive flame arrow barrage or a few of Hikaru's sword strikes, meaning Hikaru doesn't have a very clean win condition.
13: Samus Aran (Metroid)
+Wall Level+ (Can withstand own bomb explosions)
+Blaster, Bombs, and Missiles, can make enemies explode
+Can turn into the morph ball
+Space Suit/Armor (Chozo Armor)
It's a bit hard to assess the first "level" of Metroid given it's layout, but this is what I determined was the closest loadout. Superman can easily withstand early modern weaponry, but I don't think he'd be able to take futuristic weaponry like advanced missiles and bombs. Superman is faster and if he got in close he could quickly do damage to Samus but she can surprise by going into morph ball and laying bomb before rolling away. With prior knowledge, Superman probably wins, but given he would have no idea what kind of powers Samus has, I think she would take it.
12: Player Wizard (Magicka)
+Up to Low Building Level (Even in level 1 can freeze large sections of water)
+Can amplify up to subsonic with Haste Magicka
+Control and Fusion of the 8 Elements (Fire, Cold, Water, Earth, Lightning, Arcane, Life, Shield)
+Resurrection
+Can summon a meteor shower
+Can summon grease sections
+Teleportation
+Can randomly metafictionally erase someone from existence
+Magical Swords
Samus vs Wizard would be cool, with both throwing around crazy powers the other would have no idea what's going on and both easily able to one-shot each other. I think the Magicka Wizard would have the advantage since bombs at least are something they can create with shield + non Earth element, and because they have teleportation meaning even if they don't know what's happening they can teleport away if there sesm to be danger. Plus they're more versatile, can amp to faster speed, and their lightning element would probably chain to Samus' armor.
10: Yuna Yuki (Yuki Yuna is a Hero)
+Can tank wall+ to low building attacks, Her super punch obliterated a large section of a small building sized monster, suggesting she'd be building level
+Skilled at punches
+Superhuman speed
+Can superleap really high
Blossom has the experience advantage and is signifigantly faster, however I think Yuki Yuna would be able to tank her attacks like she tanked the Vertex's attacks, and eventually land a hit, especially since even if Blossom is flying, Yuna has really high jumps that could probably reach her.
9: Cure Black (Pretty Cure)
+Likely Building Level Strength/Durability (Went toe to toe with Pisard who seemed to summon storm clouds over an amusement park)
+Skilled Melee Fighter (Pretty Cure transformation grants martial arts skills)
+Superhuman speed (In their fight with Pisard, Cure Black and Cure White moved superhumanly fast)
+Superleaping
Yuki Yuna vs Cure Black would be a cool episode 1 fight. They're relative in stats and have the same abilities. They're even somewhat similar in personality, at least combat-wise. While Yuna has a better superleaping feat, her full building strength seems to require more effort then Cure Black scaling to what is a casual conservative building level. Plus even if they are equal in strength, Cure Black has another small advantage. While both are skilled in punches, Cure Black also showed she was skilled with kicks which Yuki Yuna didn't.
8: Panty Anarchy (Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt)
+Building+, possibly Large Building Level (Her bullet contributed half the energy to a building sized monster exploding)
+Building Level durability (survived a building sized sewage monster coming up at her while she was sitting on the toilet, while she was not even transformed)
+Superhuman speed
+Can hit ghosts
-Sex Addiction
-Her gun doesn't work on normal humans
The first episode doesn't express who and what her gun does and doesn't work on. If you say that it only works on ghosts she'd be lower, though because she does use real guns during the ep as well she wouldn't be that much lower. If you assume her guns do work however, she'd be here. While I have no doubt Cure Black could knock her out in a few hits up close, Panty has a vastly longer range. It's also not like her sex addiction would distract her as Cure Black is a teenager, and beyond that Panty doesn't show attraction to girls in the first ep.
7: Tiara (Shamanic Princess)
+Mage with inter-dimensional travel
+Can summon and fuse with demons
+Demonic Form is low building level and hypersonic (knocked an enemy outside a city they were fighting in before appearing nearby)
+Can summon dark orbs to levitate on or which she can meld into weapons
Tiara is not as physically strong as Panty is, but her hypersonic feat makes her a lot faster meaning she could get in close and just wail on her before she could react
6: Bayonetta (Bayonetta)
+Wall Level+ (Can cause angels to be completely destroyed)
+Hypersonic+ (Can move fast enough for time to seem stopped even without witch time)
+Witch Time (Layers of Time Slow)
+Highly skilled with numerous guns, can use 4 at once
+Non-Physical Interaction (can physically collect Angelic Halos, "spiritual metals containing Angelic essences and lifeforces")
+Can fight invisible inter-dimensional demons
Bayonetta vs Tiara would be cool to watch. Tiara has a power advantage, but all of Tiara's powers are things Bayonetta's enemies typically have; dimensional travel, levitation, and so on. Via skill and witch time she should probably be able to wear down Tiara.
5: Kratos (God of War)
+Multi-City Block Level (Overpowered the Main Head of the Hydra who has many heads attacking other ships in a fleet at once)
+Subsonic attack speed (Can attack with the Blades of Chaos fast enough for them to be a blur)
+Skilled, Agile Fighter
+Blades of Chaos, Fiery Chain-Swords
+Can emanate lightning (Poseidon gave him lightning area magic)
Bayonetta is way faster even without witch time but she doesn't really have any way of putting down Kratos and could be caught off guard by sudden lightning emanation or if a stray blow from the chains wings her.
4: Danny Phantom (Danny Phantom)
+Multi-City Block Level (Created a crater in the ground that would take over 700 tons of tnt)
+Supersonic Speed (Was sent in the sky above even where planes fly and quickly returned)
+Invisibility/Intangibility (over the course of the episode learns to control intangibility)
+Flight
+Can shift his body
+Can sense ghosts
+Can seal ghosts with the Fenton Thermos
-Not in control of his powers, accidentally changed back
Danny could lose against a lot of lower people on this list due to his lack of control of his powers. That said most likely just from his sheer stats he should be here, as he has similar if not greater strength to Kratos in this instance and superior speed. He also has intangibility and invisibility to compensate for his lack of skill.
3: Pegasus Seiya (Saint Seiya)
+Island Level (Atomized all the earth in a crater, requiring gigatons of energy)
+Subsonic speed (can punch 85 times a second)
+Can control and destroy atoms
+Martial Skill (Trained to be a Saint of Athena)
+Can channel the power of the Pegasus Constellation
Due to his speed, invisibility, and intangibility, Danny can make this fight take a long time for Seiya, but without overshadowing or the feats he would get later, Danny's got no way to damage Seiya, outside possibly phasing him into a wall or something. Not only is that out of character, but Danny may not be experienced enough to think of that, and Seiya can probably just destroy or control the atoms of the wall if Danny tries. Meanwhile Seiya is eventually going to hit Danny while he's not intangible.
2: Feliciano Vargas (Axis Powers Hetalia)
+Concept of North Italy
-Is a clumsy, cowardly buffoon.
From the start of the series Feliciano was the embodiment of Italy, or at least the Northern Half of it. Seiya does not have the area of effect to destroy North Italy as of chapter 1. Feliciano can't really hurt Seiya as well using just start of the series feats, but he can outlast him as a concept. Funnily enough, if you allow surrender as a defeat condition, then Felicano would be last as he always surrender, once surrendering to a cat.
1: Amaterasu (Okami)
+Stellar+ (Casually drew a star into the sky), possibly greater (The Brush Gods reverently refer to Amaterasu as origin of all that is good, a mother to us all)
+MFTL+ (Same speed as Imps who can move comparable to the Power Slash)
+Restoration Brush Technique (Restores things, even restored the River of Heaven)
+Power Slash Brush Technnique (Divine Strike)
+Brushwork is spiritual in nature and she can physically hold the spirit globes, human faith made solid
+Holds the Astral Pouch which contains food and can revive her
+Her footsteps causes the ground to flower
Putting anyone else on this list against Amaterasu is really unfair. She is cosmically stronger then anyone on this list at this stage, negates up to spiritual intangibility, and can easily cover the area of effect to kill Feliciano as she can create a star, and in the distant past fought a pitched battle with Orochi, a mountain-sized demon whose re-awakening caused darkness to cover the land of Nippon.
