[GRIMMJOW & ULQUIORRA] Shonen Unleashed Tier List

An editorial 1v1 reading of a kit table dated to Update 12 notes on October 18, 2026. The Roblox page later showed an Update 14 event, so letters can move. This is not an official rank.

How to read the board

Rows come from one October 18, 2026 table that sorted fighters by neutral safety, hyper armor, guard breaks, and combo extensions, and labeled the patch context Update 12. Where a kit fact exists, the row says so. Where only the letter exists, the row does not invent damage. Josuke (Joke) is kept under that printed name because it may not be Josuke Part 4.

Which [GRIMMJOW & ULQUIORRA] Shonen Unleashed boards are on this hub?

Two jobs, two lists. Open a child page for the long table. This hub is the snapshot.

Tierranked-1v133 ranked rows.

S tier

ranked-1v1GutsRoster notes describe Guts as a hyper-armor fighter who wants to trade. The October 18, 2026 1v1 table places him in S for that kind of neutral. Unlock is 100 tokens, the same published price as Yuji.

Player decision Buy him with tokens if you want to force trades. He is not required for Saitama.

ranked-1v1TYBW RenjiThe same table lists TYBW Renji in S. Separate combat notes call Renji a mini-giant who keeps normal movement and has 125 health in ranked 1v1s, with a tornado uptilt. Those notes do not explicitly say the mini-giant line is the TYBW form.

Player decision Play him if the in-game path shows this form. Do not assume every Renji label is the same variant.

ranked-1v1Curse Mark Level 2 SasukeCurse Mark Level 2 Sasuke is an S-row. Path notes say level 10 can unlock Sasuke's Curse Mark V2. Pre-Time Skip Sasuke is a different row in A, and the base fighter is listed at 1,000 cash.

Player decision Use this row for the powered form, not for day-one Sasuke.

ranked-1v1BakugoBakugo is an S-row on the October 18 table. A published combo guide exists for base and awakening routes. This page does not have a verified unlock price for him.

Player decision Strong on that 1v1 snapshot. Check the shop price in game before you farm for him.

ranked-1v1Shinra KusakabeShinra is an S-row. Character cards name Press of Death, Adolla Link, and Shinra Banshoman, and they price him at 350 tokens.

Player decision He costs more tokens than Guts or Yuji. Buy him when you want this kit, not as the first token fighter.

ranked-1v1Jotaro KujoJotaro Kujo is an S-row on the October 18 table. A specific unlock price was not in the sources read here.

Player decision Treat the letter as a 1v1 kit snapshot and confirm the shop price in game.

ranked-1v1Johnny JoestarJohnny is an S-row. He costs 5 diamonds or 2,500 Robux at the Prestige Shrine. In base he crawls, spends a nail meter, and mounts Slow Dancer for real movement. Tusk Act 4 restores walking. His ultimate is described as 60 damage and it empties the awakening meter.

Player decision A prestige project, not a first purchase. The kit is strong on the table and awkward until you understand the horse.

ranked-1v1Gear 5 LuffyGear 5 Luffy is an S-row. Cards call him the Emperor variant unlocked at level 10, with Gigant skills. Giant-state rules in the combat guide name other characters, so do not assume Gigant loses jump unless training shows it.

Player decision This is the powered Luffy, not the free early Luffy in B.

A tier

ranked-1v1Byakuya KuchikiByakuya is an A-row. Roster notes group him with 2,000-cash non-starters and mention sword range plus counters. The price is that group rate, not a separate receipt.

Player decision A spacing pick after your Saitama fighters are owned. Confirm the live price.

ranked-1v1Satoru GojoGojo is an A-row, not S. His Impervious armor sends blockable damage to the block bar. A real guard break still stuns him. Cards also name Limitless and Unlimited Void.

Player decision Do not trade a guard-break move into the blue glow and expect the armor to save you.

ranked-1v1Jonathan JoestarJonathan is an A-row and one of the seven Saitama fighters. Update 11 gave Zoom Punch super armor and a stronger Overdrive Rendan wallsplat.

Player decision Worth the ranked wins even if you find him slow. The buffs are about safer pokes and corner carry.

ranked-1v1Naruto Uzumaki (Pre-Time Skip)Pre-Time Skip Naruto is an A-row and a Saitama fighter. Update 11 notes give Rasengan a wall grab plus faster, more armored clones. Combat notes also mention 1+2, 1+3, and 1+4 skill branches.

Player decision Good once you learn the branches. He is required for Saitama whether or not you main him.

ranked-1v1Sasuke Uchiha (Pre-Time Skip)Pre-Time Skip Sasuke is an A-row. The 1,000-cash purchase is this fighter. Curse Mark Level 2 is the separate S-row.

Player decision Buy him if you want the path to Curse Mark. The base letter is A, not the S form.

ranked-1v1Hebi SasukeHebi Sasuke is a separate A-row from Pre-Time Skip Sasuke and from Curse Mark Level 2. Unlock details for the Hebi label were not in the sources read here.

Player decision Do not spend for Curse Mark and assume this row comes with it. Check the path screen.

ranked-1v1InosukeInosuke is an A-row on the October 18 table. A price and move list were not in the pages used here.

Player decision Use the letter only as a 1v1 snapshot until you lab the kit.

ranked-1v1Yuji ItadoriYuji is an A-row at 100 tokens. Roster notes call him a rushdown fighter with a Black Flash burst.

Player decision The cheaper token buy if you want speed rather than Guts's armor trades.

ranked-1v1MakaMaka is an A-row. No unlock price was published in the pages read here.

Player decision Confirm the shop entry in game. The letter alone is not a buy order.

ranked-1v1Android Saga VegetaAndroid Saga Vegeta is an A-row. Path notes name Great Ape as Vegeta's level 10 variant, so this Android row may be a different form. The 1,000-cash Vegeta purchase is the base fighter, not automatically this row.

Player decision Check which Vegeta the shop and the path actually give you before you chase this letter.

B tier

ranked-1v1Base GokuBase Goku is a B-row. Namek Saga Goku is a free-pick option with Kamehameha, an armored Kaio-Ken Attack, and Spirit Bomb. Kaio-Ken Gamble Goku is a separate C-row.

Player decision A fine first fighter. The B letter is the base kit, not a reason to skip the Saitama wins.

ranked-1v1Base LuffyBase Luffy is a B-row. Early Luffy is a free-pick option with reach and an aerial grab. Gear 5 is the S-row. Marineford Luffy is a C-row. Update 11 buffed several PTS skills.

Player decision Learn him if you like stretch confirms. Judge Gear 5 separately after level 10.

ranked-1v1PiccoloPiccolo is a B-row. Combat notes say his stance-swap C is a full giant state. He also runs the skin banners in the lobby, which is an NPC job, not a combat buff.

Player decision Lab the giant stance before you take the B letter as his only form.

ranked-1v1KakashiKakashi is a B-row. His awakening is listed among full giant states: 3-hit M1, no jump, Power Rush becomes a retreat.

Player decision The awakening plays by giant rules. Do not try to uptilt in that form.

ranked-1v1Tanjiro KamadoTanjiro is a B-row on the October 18 1v1 table and a Saitama-quest fighter. A different roster guide calls him the best starter in every mode. Both claims are published. They are not averaged here.

Player decision Take him if he is in your free trio and you will play the five wins. The B letter is the later 1v1 snapshot, not a ban from casual or teams.

ranked-1v1Josuke (Joke)The October 18 table prints the name Josuke (Joke) in B. Update 11 added Josuke Higashikata (Part 4) at 2,000 cash, and launch notes called that kit an A-tier flex. These may be two different labels.

Player decision Do not apply this B letter to Part 4 Josuke unless the game shows they are the same fighter.

ranked-1v1Shoto TodorokiShoto Todoroki is a B-row. Utility notes use him as an example of a character-specific meter on C.

Player decision Learn what C does on this kit before you judge the letter.

ranked-1v1Ichigo Kurosaki (Soul Society)Soul Society Ichigo is a B-row. Beginner notes recommend him for simple neutral. Zangetsu Shikai Ichigo is a separate C-row. Dangai is a level 10 form on Hueco Mundo Ichigo and is not this row.

Player decision A reasonable learner even with a B letter. He is on the Saitama list.

ranked-1v1NamiNami is a B-row. No kit or price was in the pages used for this entry.

Player decision Letter only. Check the shop and training before you main her.

ranked-1v1SaitamaSaitama is a B-row on the October 18 table. Another roster guide calls him S-tier in solo because of wide punches, trade priority, and awakening. Unlock is five ranked wins on each of the seven quest fighters, not a purchase.

Player decision Earn him for the quest and the kit, not because the letters agree. They do not.

C tier

ranked-1v1Zangetsu Shikai IchigoZangetsu Shikai Ichigo is a C-row, separate from Soul Society Ichigo in B. Beginner notes sometimes bundle the names. The tier table does not.

Player decision If you are learning Ichigo, start with the Soul Society tools, then see what this form changes.

ranked-1v1Kaio-Ken Gamble GokuKaio-Ken Gamble Goku is a C-row, separate from base Namek Goku in B. Base Goku still has a hyper-armor Kaio-Ken Attack move. This row is the gamble variant, not that single move.

Player decision Do not read the C letter as a review of starter Goku.

ranked-1v1Marineford LuffyMarineford Luffy is a C-row. Base Luffy is B and Gear 5 is S. Update 11's PTS buffs were written for the early kit, not automatically for this form.

Player decision A different Luffy. Level the form you queued, not the name on the loading screen only.

ranked-1v1Roronoa Zoro (Pre-Time Skip)Pre-Time Skip Zoro is a C-row and a 1,000-cash fighter. Combat notes prefer Enies Lobby Zoro's bleed on Rashimon, and they say Onigiri has hyper armor without bleed. Enies Lobby is not given a letter on this table. Update 11 added endlag to Onigiri and Rashomon.

Player decision The C letter is the early kit. Lab Enies Lobby on its own if you own that path.

ranked-1v1Izuku MidoriyaDeku is a C-row on the October 18 1v1 table and a free starter option. Beginner notes still call the updated kit high damage with wide attacks, and he is required for Saitama. One projectile is the ranged tool named in the roster summary.

Player decision Keep him if you like the routes. The C letter is one 1v1 snapshot, and the quest still wants five ranked wins.

FAQ

[GRIMMJOW & ULQUIORRA] Shonen Unleashed ranking questions

Is this the official tier list?

No. The letters summarize a published 1v1 kit table. Another guide calls Saitama S-tier in solo and calls Tanjiro the best starter. Those disagreements are written on the rows.

Do these ranks cover duos and trios?

The table is a solo snapshot. Duos and trios care about peel, walls, and Spirit Unleashed after an ally goes down. Do not copy a solo letter into a team queue without playing the matchup.
