Kingdom Hearts Character Tier List 

Goofy is the biggest Motherfucker in the whole series. Every time the story gets intense, Goofy is the one, who is summerizing it and understanding it all as the first of the bunch.

Has anyone noticed that in: KH1 Sora died KH2 Goofy died KH3 Donald died And here they are frickin beasts got nine lives or somethin

donald duck s tier most delicious character

Re:Mind DLC: Kairi: "I'll protect you, Sora. - * Turns and looks at the camera * - For real this time."

Terra in tier E? Gotta disagree with you there. Remember, this guy managed to hold himself together and become the most powerful superboss in the entire series WITH NOTHING BUT HIS OWN DETERMINATION. If that doesn't say something about this guy, I don't know what does. Yeah, he's kind of stupid in BBS, but he's also extremely stubborn and POWERFUL in pretty much every other game he's in. Remember how he helped beat Terranort in KH3? He managed to defy the guy controlling him and smash said guy's face WHILE HE HIMSELF WAS TRAPPED IN HEARTLESS FORM. Through sheer willpower. This man deserves respect. He's gotta be A tier at the very least. I'd even go so far as to say he deserves an S rank.

Always seen Terra as just the unluckiest guy. Every new world he encountered the villain 1st and treated them with respect because he never judged a book by its cover. He's always questioned why the tasks were so off..so he deserves better. He tried. Put him at B.

Demyx is just vibing he's just having a good time

Nobody: Cynical: *puts Jiminy cricket above Xemnas*

I mean, if Larxene's character was written to make you hate her, and you hate her, then I would think her character was done pretty well. Don't think she deserves to be F tier for being a villain lol

Putting Ven in the same tier as Kairi feels like a crime😂

Jiminey is the master of masters change my mind when everyone lost their hearts in the final battle jiminey was the only one to keep his

Kairi is in the H tier for Hostage

me : Sees Jared place Terra at F Me: *Rage Awakened*

Roxas should have his own tier

I Think larxene is at least a B i mean shes the only organization character you can REALLY hate and isnt that the point of an Antagonist? Also she has more personality than most org members.

Don't understand the hate on Terra when, for example, even Aqua or Ventus could've been manipulated 'cause they didn't know how Master Xehanort was or his intentions at the beginning. In fact, the three of them got conditioned somehow, just look at where and how they ended up during and after BBS. He deserves respect, just like everyone, even if it's liked or not. I enjoy the game instead of worrying about this kind of things. He didn't do anything 100% bad/evil. He's been through so much, he never stopped fighting, he is very strong, not just physically (Lingering Will KH2 FM battle, 0.2 fight with Xehanort, LW's fight against Terranort and Guardian's moment in KH III...) and he wanted to return to set things right and protect his friends. I really liked to see him in action with the others in the last trailer of the ReMind DLC. Well, entertaining video, it's different from the usual ones!

Can I just say *ZETTAFLARE!*

This should be titled "Character Usefulness Tier List"

Terra is an S for me

“Goofy is like the Dad of Sora and Donald” And Donald is like Sora’s nagging Mom 😂 I’ve thought that for years that they’re like Sora’s replacement parents heck they make better parents than his actual ones seeing as they don’t seem to care enough about their son being gone for like 1 year straight saving the worlds

Roxas best boi.

Not putting Xigbar in S tier? You kidding me? Even A tier is an insult to this man.

My own personal Kingdom hearts character tier list: S: 1. Xigbar/Braig 2. Sora 3. Riku 4. Roxas 5. Axel/Lea 6. Master of Masters A: 1. Ephemer 2. Vanitas 3. Aqua 4. Xemnas 5. Luxord/??? 6. Saix/Isa 7. Riku Replica 8. Marluxia/Lauriam 9. Vexen/Even 10. Xion B: 1. Ventus 2. Chirithy 3. Master Xehanort 4. Ansem (SoD) 5. Terra 6. Demyx/??? 7. Foreteller Aced 8. Kairi 9. Zexion/Ienzo 10. Master Eraqus C: 1. Brain 2. Larxene 3. Strelitzia 4. Young Xehanort 5. Skuld 6. Ansem the Wise 7. Foreteller Ava 8. Foreteller Gula D: 1. Foreteller Ira 2. Xaldin/Dilan 3. Foreteller Invi 4. Lexeaus/Aleaues Now keep in mind that I don’t necessarily HATE any of the characters throughout this series. I’m probably one of the only ones that like them all honestly lol. But this is just my list when it comes to which ones I like the most.

Jimmeny: *spends years continuously writing, keeping down stats, and writing down the clusterfuck of a story* Cynical: I'll give him A tier for his work ethic Demyx: *Does absolutely nothing* Cynical: I'll give him A tier for no work ethic

Xigbar is my personal favourite organization member. Even before the big identity plot twist a seeing the much larger role he plays in the story I still always liked him the most.

You can’t say the character is a bad character because of how bad they are it’s part of their character if you hate a villain that’s a good thing

Funny, your reasons for Larxene being F tier are the same as my reasons for her being A tier

Terra deserve the S tier, fight me.

Honestly, I've nevet felt any KH character in Kingdom hearts is lower than a D.... Pete is in the right place, but I don't really count any of the Disney villains.

If Sephiroth is the darkness in Cloud's heart in KH lore wouldn't that make Cloud a heart of pure light? If so why didn't their fight bring about the true kingdom hearts like the fight between Ventus and Vanitas did?

Plot twist: Deymx is the reincarnation of the Master of Masters.

the last time i clicked so fast on a video was... actually never

Great video dude but definitely disagree with terra... He is my favourite character just because of the development he got, he understood what he did wrong, he got very strong as a result to correct things and, also, if you think about it he started the whole series giving riku the keyblade and all that ( also f*cling lingering will!!!!) P.S.: loving the consistency of the videos glad to have you back in full swing!! Be sure not to wear yourself out tho

Never thought I’d see a list where jiminy outclassed Sephiroth

Love how you mention Terra's future development (Love Terra,Support for him) :) (I really hope that Terra has a bigger role in the future games) :) PS Please let have Terra and Riku have a scene together :)

#StopTheTerraHate XD

MY NAME SPELLED BACKWARDS IS DISNEY

Thank God, someone who understands my love for demyx. Also Terra himbo

I feel personally offended thet ma boi axel isnt in SS+ *best boi* ;P

Lol at Jiminy Cricket getting an A rating based off of his “work ethic” 😂😂😂

Zettaflare alone puts Donald in a tier of his own lol. Mickey didn't rush to save Aqua because he had no time to rescue her after Kingdom Hearts on PS2. After the DtD was sealed he had to find and get Riku out of Castle Oblivion. Once Riku lost his form trying to get Roxas he asked Mickey to look after Sora(which he does throughout Kingdom Hearts II hence Saved by the King which, while optional, further supports Mickey was always close by to make sure Sora was ok) then he had to jump into a Heartless war and piece together the whole issue with Organization XIII and introduced Sora to the mastermind -- Xehanort. Xemnas ended up putting more pressure on Mickey once he instigated the king knew what happened to Riku and as a result put Sora on his back after he promised Riku to not tell what happened. After battling through The World That Never Was they had at least a day to rest before Re:Coded happened then they immediately jump into Dream Drop Distance. Sora and Riku were having a rigged test and things were dire, Mickey re-united with Xehanort after dealing with Maleficent and Pete threatening his wife's life but after all the drama Riku was dubbed Master. Right as Riku was made Master they left to find her. It wasn't 2 years, Sora was still 15 in Kingdom Hearts III -- Dream Drop Distance to Kingdom Hearts III all take place at least a few days after Kingdom Hearts II. Aqua literary told him to go without her to save the worlds while she acts as the light to guide lost souls out of the RoD. Mickey honored her wishes and helped save millions of innocent lives in the process. Even if he tried saving her himself he probably wouldn't survive since he and Riku nearly died multiple times even with their upgrades.

*Sees Aqua.* Me: "I swear if you place anywhere other than S-tier!" *Places her in S-tier.* Me: "...You're goddamn right."

Roxas is S and thats all that matters

Is this a “Best characters tier list” or a “I don’t like this character even if he/she is objectively good as in writing, plot and reasons for his/her actions tier list”?

Bruh Terra is strong though

Yo Jared wheres Zack my boi??

MoM is a total S. That sounds really bad out of context...

Should have made a darkness within darkness tier for ansem.

Cynical as a teacher grading projects: "I absolutely loved it. Beautiful, precious." Also Cynical: *_You're getting chucked in the B tier._*

Before the video starts for me. Ma baby Xion is S tier.

At the start of the video: "Xion better be in S." At the end of the video: "Where's my pitchfork."

That moment in kh3 when Terra fulfills his promise to set things right in birth by sleep by saving Aqua and Ven gave me chills

Just wanna ask WHERE IS EPHEMERE AND SKULD

Sora is easily manipulated to tho probably even worse

Xemnas is s their and you know it.

Aqua is keyblade mom and no one can convince me otherwise

I am so glad to see you back making videos man!

Ava is Kairi's grandma. Take it as a meme or a theory, either way works for me 😂.

Honestly I would love to see this done with other topics related to kingdom hearts. Tier list for sora’s keyblades, all the worlds, heartless, nobodies, bosses (including secret), the games themselves, and honestly anything else you can think of.

Great list. I love how you did it based on how you felt about the characters and not some by the book fan criteria about how a character should be

should've split up chip and dale and put one in "s" tier and the other in "f" LMAO

hmk be like " F Tier isn't low enough for Terra "

OK now we gotta fight you put kairi above maleficent

Yen Sid is in D tier because his name spell backwards is d- *zettaflared*

Ansem the Wise was a great counterpoint to Master Xehanort. Both fell into darkness while trying to save The World, but once they were defeated their choices diverged in ways that showcase why Xehanort is the villain and what he almost could have become. I would put Ansem one tier higher just for being a good narrative support for Xehanort and Xemnas.

Let the Tier list be your guiding key.

You put my boy terra so low 😭😭😭😭

Not gonna lie, when I saw the other Riku in the Tier list I ddn't think it was KH1 Riku but Repliku.

Terra in E Tier! How could u!?

The whole Wayfinder trio were manipulated idiots, and Terra's actions weren't as bad as fans make them. At worst he should be B.

This video made me laugh so much I loved your reasoning behind why each character got placed 😂

Mickey didn't purposely leave Aqua in the Dark Realm. He literally couldn't get there for years. Only after he gained a means to enter it, did he go there and look for Aqua. This was all explained in 0.2 and 3. Also he has a kingdom to rule as well AND was dealing with a Heartless invasion of cosmic proportions, the shenanigans of Organization 13 and Maleficent and her Disney Villains cabal. Given he can't just abandon his kingly duties whenever he feels like, the universe being consumed by Heartless, the threat of the Nobodies and couldn't get into the Dark Realm, he had pretty good reasons for not getting to Aqua sooner. Also he felt very badly about it all. Also given how time works differently in the Dark Aqua, probably didn't experience an actual decade (relative to a real life Earth decade) pass while in there. Also she had Ansem the Wise for company for some of that time so yeah. Lay off Mickey.

just rewatched this. miss you bro!

Regular Jared content makes my holiday season bright 🤘🏻🔥

I'm happy I'm not the only one that appreciates Demyx. He's so relatable, I also don't wanna do anything half the time. On top of that, he's a musician and his element is water, love that dude! 🧡💧🎶 Awesome tier list, Cynical! I agree with most of your placements. Jiminy in A tier above a bunch of other badass characters will forever be a meme now. 😂👌🏼

Nowadays, you are not a true KH RU-vidr until you have done a character tier list.

You're talking about Mickey leaving Aqua in the realm of darkness as if he had a choice in the matter. And ignoring that he admitted he didn't even know how to get in initially except for jumping in after a world that was falling to Darkness. And also that Aqua told him to forget about her and save the worlds. You seem to be forgetting context, pal.

"Larxene hit Naminé, F tier" "Eraqus, A tier" Eraqus was going to *kill* Ventus, also an actual child ????? And it's also implied he was a somewhat abusive (at the very least strict, overbearing, and automatically blames Terra for literally anything) father figure

donald duck can use magic strong enough to whipe out a tornado of heartless but dosnt have the time or magic to heal sora....man god damn this duck

The Master Isn't S Teir Wryyyyyyyyyyyyy how could you betray me he is so funny and mysterious baka.

Mans said not that much kh content anymore, literally all content is kh

this was def needed xD

Saïx/Isa deserves better than C. Imagine your life, with your best friend Lea, and all you ever want to do is sneak into Ansem the Wise’s castle. You then successfully sneak into said castle and discover a girl. You fall in love with said girl. One day, said girl is gone. Then you apprentice to Ansem to get her back. Next day, fellow apprentice Xehanort backstabs Ansem then backstabs you and you suddenly are stuck as a Nobody with no feelings and no friends and your girlfriend is STILL missing. Then your best friend, who is also now a Nobody, leaves you for some other Nobodies while you are STILL trying to get your girlfriend back ten years after previous events. Oh, you also actually thought your best friend was going to help you, but nooo. Instead he abandons both you and your shared girlfriend. You are then killed by your best friend’s best friend’s human form. You then come back as a human and you can finally feel emotion again. Then Xigbar and Xehanort turn around and say, “JK! Hope you enjoy being a Nobody again!” And turn you back into said Nobody. Then you are killed by your best friend, your best friend’s best friend, your best friend’s other best friend, and your best friend’s other other best friend. You get a happy ending after all of that, but look how much you had to go through! Also good job 358/2 Days, your Axel/Saïx side-story was very well written. Saïx deserves at least A, if not S.

I Really like you videos 😂💕

putting kairi at B was extremely generous

You should do a KH worlds tier list, that would be awesome to watch!

I think Buns's quote "The greatest character to ever touch this garbage plain mess of a series" makes alot of sense in the tier list

DDD Sora is what made me start liking Sora. His speech against Xigbar literally made me cheer.

Good, things are as they should be. If Cynical had put best girl Aqua in anything other than S, there was going to be a war in the comments.

this dude puts a cricket above my boy mickey mouse. That's the last time king mickey is saving your ass lol.

S Tier- Aqua, Lea/Axel and Riku F Tier- Young Xehanort Shadow Realm Tier- Kairi A Tier- Everyone else that remained.

That's pretty sad. Terra would've at least been a B to me. He's a nice guy who only went through lapses in judgement, and also gave us the best secret fight in the series

S Tier: Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Aqua, Roxas, Axel, Xigbar, Xemnas, Ansem the Wise A Tier: Xion, Saïx, Namine, Ansem SoD, Master of Masters B Tier: Mickey, Kairi, Maleficent, Demyx, Vexen, Xehanort, Young Xehanort, Lion, C Tier: Terra, Ventus, Vanitas, Larxene, Marluxia, Luxord, Sephiroth, Cloud, Zexion, Eraqus, Aerith, Cid, Yuffie, Yen Sid D Tier: Jiminy, Xaldin, Lexaeus, Hayner, Pence, Olette, Every Union Leader, Chirithy E Tier: Chip, Dale F Tier: Sora (DDD)

Do a video on what's inside Sora's shoes

Great list. But what about the MVP, the Yeetus of the Vanitas, Sully from Monsters inc?!?! S rank for sure

I like this!

Forgot Auron.

are you using Tiermaker.com when you made these cuz if you did how were you able to get the pictures to the side like that

Jared I'm now playing kh1 for the first time and I already love it and I'm only on day three of destiny islands

i think with the entire union x thing i think ven is an a tier. he's a mad lad.
