There is no official, verifiable top-ten ranking of The Beginning After the End characters. The names below are contenders surfaced by secondary rankings—not a canonically ordered list—and the available evidence does not support assigning each a precise position or comparing their feats. This article uses the Tapas comic as its version, with a cutoff of episode 226, “Agrona,” published March 12, 2026. That episode’s release confirms a story marker, not a strength ranking.
Why “strongest” needs a version and a cutoff
The Beginning After the End is a comic adaptation based on the novel. Tapas credits TurtleMe for the story and adaptation and lists the comic under Tapas Entertainment and MGK-Story. Because the story continues across installments, a character’s position can depend on which version and point in the story a ranking includes. A list that does not say whether it covers the novel or comic—and where it stops—can mix different stages of the story.
The cutoff here is the Tapas comic through episode 226, “Agrona,” dated March 12, 2026. Tapas’s listing and episode date establish what installment is being discussed; they do not establish a character’s combat capabilities or settle who would win a fight.
Ten characters that appear in secondary rankings
The names below are candidates, not a ranked order. Two secondary lists reviewed for this topic disagree about placements and which characters to include. The available material does not provide a sufficiently documented, character-by-character set of comic feats through the stated cutoff to justify a numbered power ranking.

#1 Best Overall
- Arthur Leywin — Named in a 2026 secondary ranking. The material available here does not establish a comparative placement against the other candidates.
- Myre — Named in that 2026 ranking; no supported position relative to the other names is established here.
- Seris Vritra — Appears in the 2026 ranking and is placed tenth in a separate 2025 list. Those are editorial opinions, not official results.
- Agrona — Named in the 2026 ranking. Tapas’s episode 226 is titled “Agrona,” but a character’s presence in an episode is not a strength feat.
- Kezess Indrath — Named in the 2026 list and placed first by the 2025 list. Neither placement is an official canon ranking.
- Mordain — Named in the 2026 secondary ranking; a defensible position among the ten is not established by the evidence available here.
- Garde — Also appears in the 2026 list, without enough substantiated comparative evidence here to assign a rank.
- Nico — Named in the 2026 list. The material available here does not support a specific position in a comic-only ranking.
- Sylvie — Included in the 2026 list; the available evidence does not establish a relative placement through the cutoff.
- Cadell or Windsom — The secondary lists do not align on this final candidate: one includes Cadell, while the other includes Windsom. One list also labels Cadell under a heading that appears to say “Puppy,” making its presentation unclear. The discrepancy is a reason not to treat either list as authoritative.
How to judge a stronger ranking
A useful comparison should assess characters on the same version and cutoff, and distinguish direct combat results from broader capability. It should identify who a character defeated, resisted, or forced to retreat, and under what circumstances; separate demonstrated abilities from speculation about a peak form or potential; and account for tactical judgment, durability, counters, and support that can affect a battle without proving one-on-one superiority. Those are editorial criteria, not an official series rubric.
Secondary rankings can help identify names readers debate, but they cannot replace evidence from the story. A ranking that mixes an individual character with an artifact, a temporary “phase,” or a team is not comparing like with like. Popularity is another separate measure: Tapas’s poll page, dated November 27, 2020, displayed 224.6k views and 452 comments. Those are page-engagement counts, not a survey of combat strength.

Arthur, Myre, Seris, Agrona, Kezess, Mordain, Garde, Nico, and Sylvie are among the names surfaced by the 2026 secondary list; the other reviewed list names Seris, Cadell, Windsom, Agrona, and Kezess. The sources available for this article do not establish a reliable order among ten comic characters through episode 226. Treat exact top-ten placements found elsewhere as fan or editorial judgments unless they specify a version and cutoff and support each placement with comparable story evidence.
