Sasaki and Peeps Season 2 Character Strength Tier List: Light Novel Power Scaling Guide

I’ll be honest: one of the funniest things about Sasaki and Peeps is how casually it throws completely ridiculous supernatural problems at a man who would probably prefer to finish work, buy groceries, and spend a quiet evening at home.

Sasaki starts out as an exhausted salaryman looking for a little companionship. Then he adopts a Java sparrow, discovers that his new pet is actually Piercarlo, a legendary Star Sage from another world, and somehow ends up juggling international politics, psychic organizations, magical girls, and increasingly dangerous supernatural conflicts.

You know, normal isekai stuff.

Except Sasaki and Peeps keeps adding new layers to its already chaotic setting. Traditional fantasy magic is only one piece of the puzzle. Modern espers operate under different rules, magical girls bring devastating offensive abilities to the table, and the celestial death game introduces demonic powers that can make conventional combat strategies look completely pointless.

That’s why putting together a Sasaki and Peeps Season 2 character strength tier list is more complicated than comparing who throws the biggest fireball. A powerful character might dominate a straightforward battle but struggle against someone with unusual abilities, superior preparation, or a power that ignores conventional defenses entirely.

For this ranking, I’m looking at combat potential, versatility, demonstrated abilities, and how dangerous each character becomes when their powers are used intelligently. The rankings follow the light novel-based character interpretations described in this guide, rather than treating every matchup as a simple contest of raw strength.

One important distinction: a character’s maximum potential isn’t necessarily the same as their ability to win an actual fight.

The Sasaki and Peeps Strength Tier List

These tiers represent a broad comparison, not a guarantee that every character in a higher tier automatically defeats everyone below them.

S+ Tier: The Characters Who Break the Rules

1. Abaddon — The Ultimate Supernatural Threat

Abaddon takes the top spot because his threat isn’t limited to conventional destructive power. His demonic abilities operate on a level that makes ordinary magical barriers, physical durability, and standard psychic defenses unreliable.

That’s what makes this kind of opponent so terrifying. Against a conventional enemy, you can at least ask practical questions: Can they be outrun? Can their attack be blocked? Can they be exhausted?

Against a greater devil whose abilities include overwhelming curses and reality-altering effects, those questions might not matter.

My take: Abaddon represents the kind of opponent who forces everyone else to change the rules of engagement. Even an incredibly talented sorcerer could be at a disadvantage if their usual defenses simply don’t interact properly with his abilities.

He belongs in S+ because of the sheer difficulty of preparing for an enemy whose powers can undermine the foundations of a normal fight.

2. Otanari-san — A Tragic Character Turned Into a Nightmare

The Next-Door Neighbor is one of the most unsettling figures in this power hierarchy because her personal story makes her transformation more disturbing.

Initially, she appears to be a troubled middle school girl dealing with abandonment and an unhealthy attachment to Sasaki. Once she forms a contract with Abaddon, however, her threat level changes dramatically.

The important factor is the combination of demonic power and emotional instability. A dangerous character who carefully calculates every move is frightening enough. A dangerous character whose emotions can trigger unpredictable supernatural consequences is considerably harder to handle.

Her connection to Abaddon gives her access to a level of power that ordinary human opponents have little chance of matching.

What makes her particularly interesting is that her strength doesn’t exist independently of her personality. Her obsession, vulnerability, and psychological instability all contribute to the danger she presents.

My take: Otanari-san is a good example of why power scaling shouldn’t focus exclusively on training or experience. Sometimes, the biggest threat is a character whose abilities have grown far beyond their capacity to control them.

3. Black Fallen Angel — Imagination Is a Terrifying Weapon

If I had to pick the most interesting ability in this entire ranking, Black Fallen Angel’s Imagination Manifestation would be a serious contender.

The basic concept is straightforward: he can give physical form to things he imagines. The practical implications, however, are absurdly broad.

Weapons, constructs, armies of created entities, and elaborate combat scenarios all become potential tools. He can also reproduce other espers’ abilities, giving him an answer to a wide variety of opponents.

This is where conventional power rankings start to fall apart. A character with one devastating attack has an obvious weakness: find a way to avoid that attack. Someone who can continually invent new solutions is much more difficult to counter.

His ability to pressure Peeps is particularly significant. Peeps possesses centuries of magical knowledge and an enormous arsenal of spells, yet even a legendary Star Sage can be pushed into a defensive position when facing an opponent with this much flexibility.

My take: Black Fallen Angel might be the character I’d least want to face in a blind matchup. You cannot reliably prepare for an opponent whose next weapon could be something you’ve never seen before.

His exact ceiling is difficult to establish, but his versatility makes him a legitimate S+ threat.

S Tier: Legendary Magic and Brilliant Strategy

4. Peeps / Piercarlo — The Star Sage With One Major Problem

Peeps has the knowledge and experience to stand among the most powerful magic users in the series. His repertoire includes teleportation, barriers, invisibility, healing, elemental attacks, and other advanced sorcery.

He isn’t simply a character with a large mana supply. His real advantage is knowing how to use magic in different situations.

Need to escape? Teleportation helps. Need to protect an ally? Defensive spells provide options. Need to control an encounter from a distance? His magical knowledge offers numerous possibilities.

Unfortunately, Peeps has a rather ridiculous limitation: he’s a tiny bird.

His Java sparrow body cannot comfortably withstand the strain of his most powerful spells. That physical restriction prevents him from using his full potential without consequences.

Sasaki provides a solution by acting as a medium through which Peeps can channel greater magical power.

My take: Peeps is arguably the most complete traditional spellcaster on this list, but his physical limitations make him less straightforward than his reputation suggests. His intelligence and experience are incredible assets; his body is the problem.

5. Sasaki — The Most Underrated Fighter on the List

Sasaki is fascinating precisely because he doesn’t look like a typical fantasy protagonist.

He isn’t a naturally gifted swordsman, a battle-hardened warrior, or someone who spends every waking moment searching for stronger enemies. He’s a middle-aged office worker who happens to acquire access to extraordinary magic.

His connection with Peeps changes everything.

Through their partnership, Sasaki gains access to advanced spells, enormous magical reserves, flight, teleportation, and defensive abilities. With Peeps acting as his magical instructor and medium, Sasaki can become a serious threat even against large groups of enemies.

Still, I wouldn’t automatically rank him above every other character with comparable destructive output.

His reliance on spoken incantations creates opportunities for interruption, while his limited combat experience can become a liability against opponents who react instinctively or specialize in ambushes.

My take: Sasaki’s greatest strength is preparation. Give him time to understand an opponent, plan his approach, and select the right spells, and he becomes dramatically more dangerous. Catch him completely off guard, and the situation looks very different.

That’s an appealing distinction in a genre where protagonists often solve every problem simply by unlocking another transformation.

6. Futarishizuka — The Most Dangerous Person in the Room Might Be the Smartest

Futarishizuka deserves her place in the top tier because her threat isn’t measured by magical spectacle alone.

Her psychic abilities include manipulating life force and draining vitality, making prolonged encounters especially dangerous for opponents who cannot quickly overwhelm her.

But her real advantage is her personality.

She’s calculating, pragmatic, and willing to use information, manipulation, and morally questionable tactics to achieve her goals. She understands that a supernatural confrontation doesn’t necessarily begin when the first attack is launched.

It can begin much earlier, with intelligence gathering, carefully chosen alliances, and identifying an opponent’s weaknesses.

My take: Futarishizuka is exactly the kind of character who could defeat someone technically stronger than herself. She might not win a direct contest of destructive power, but she doesn’t need to play by her opponent’s preferred rules.

That makes her one of the most strategically dangerous characters in the series.

A Tier: Strong Fighters With Clear Limitations

7. Magical Pink — An Offensive Powerhouse

Magical Pink brings overwhelming firepower to the battlefield. Her fairy-granted abilities can produce destructive attacks capable of overwhelming substantial defenses and threatening fortified positions.

The problem is durability.

She remains physically vulnerable compared with characters who possess exceptional defensive abilities or can survive direct supernatural attacks.

In other words, Magical Pink is a classic glass cannon. If she can establish control of the battlefield and unleash her attacks, she’s extremely dangerous. If an opponent closes the distance or catches her before she can respond, her advantage can disappear quickly.

My take: Her offensive potential is impressive, but I wouldn’t confuse destructive power with overall combat superiority. A powerful attack only matters if you can land it.

8. Director French — Preparation Is Its Own Superpower

Director French doesn’t need to compete with legendary sorcerers by throwing increasingly spectacular spells at them.

As head of the Paranormal Phenomena Countermeasure Bureau, he operates through planning, intelligence, specialized equipment, and organized personnel.

His resources allow him to approach supernatural incidents as problems to be contained rather than simply enemies to be defeated.

Against a predictable psychic or an opponent whose abilities have identifiable limitations, preparation can be decisive. Against an entity capable of ignoring conventional defenses or fundamentally altering reality, even sophisticated countermeasures may prove insufficient.

My take: French is a reminder that a character can be powerful without personally possessing the biggest supernatural ability. His effectiveness depends on the situation, the information available to him, and the resources he can deploy.

B Tier: Specialists Who Excel in the Right Matchup

9. Hoshizaki-san — Reliable Water-Based Psychic Combat

Hoshizaki-san’s water manipulation makes her a capable field operative. She can use water offensively, create defensive options, and exploit available water sources to control encounters.

Her abilities are practical and versatile, particularly when dealing with ordinary rogue espers or supernatural disturbances that don’t demand overwhelming destructive power.

The problem is the competition.

Against legendary sorcery, conceptual abilities, or demonic powers that bypass conventional defenses, elemental manipulation alone may not be enough.

My take: Hoshizaki-san is exactly the sort of character who would perform extremely well in a conventional mission but struggle when the story escalates into its most extraordinary conflicts.

10. Viz / Type Twelve — Technology Meets the Supernatural

Viz, also known as Type Twelve, introduces a different approach to combat. Rather than relying on traditional sorcery or psychic intuition, this mechanical life-form brings computational capabilities, automated defenses, and energy-based weaponry.

That makes it particularly effective against threats that behave according to recognizable physical rules.

Unfortunately, an opponent who relies on abstract curses or unpredictable reality-altering powers presents a different problem. Processing speed and conventional defensive systems cannot guarantee protection against an ability that ignores their underlying assumptions.

My take: Type Twelve could be an excellent tactical combatant, but technological sophistication doesn’t automatically translate into superiority over supernatural abilities.

C/D Tier: Important Characters Who Aren’t Combat Monsters

Not every character needs to be a battlefield powerhouse to matter.

Elsa von Müller contributes through her noble background, political relationships, and connection to the ruling structures of the Herz Kingdom. Without specialized combat abilities, however, she relies on others for protection during dangerous encounters.

Count Müller provides political influence and territorial backing, while Mr. Marc helps sustain the commercial networks that support Sasaki’s business activities.

These characters are important because they help make Sasaki’s life in the fantasy world believable. Politics, trade, and social relationships create opportunities and complications that raw magical power cannot solve on its own.

Their low placement reflects combat ability, not narrative importance.

Who Would Actually Win? Three Matchups Worth Debating

These are analytical predictions, not definitive canon outcomes. Conditions, prior knowledge, and the circumstances of a fight could change the result.

The most interesting matchup is probably Black Fallen Angel versus Sasaki. Sasaki has access to tremendous magical power, but his opponent’s ability to generate unpredictable counters creates a serious tactical problem. It becomes a question of whether Sasaki can establish control before Black Fallen Angel adapts.

Final Verdict: Power Isn’t Everything in Sasaki and Peeps

The biggest reason I enjoy the power-scaling side of Sasaki and Peeps is that its different factions make straightforward rankings unreliable.

Abaddon and Otanari-san represent supernatural threats that can overwhelm conventional defenses. Black Fallen Angel brings extraordinary adaptability. Peeps combines experience with an enormous magical repertoire, while Sasaki demonstrates how preparation and access to the right abilities can transform an otherwise ordinary person.

Then there’s Futarishizuka, who reminds us that information and ruthless strategy can matter just as much as raw power.

My personal pick for the most dangerous character to fight without preparation is Black Fallen Angel. Abaddon might have the more frightening destructive potential, but an opponent who can continually invent new threats is an absolute nightmare in a blind matchup.

Sasaki, meanwhile, remains the character I’d most want to watch in a prolonged conflict. His strength depends on learning, preparation, and cooperation rather than simply overpowering every enemy he encounters.

And that’s ultimately what makes this series’ supernatural conflicts so entertaining: the strongest character on paper isn’t necessarily the person who controls the situation.

Sometimes, the winner is the one who understands the rules. Sometimes, it’s the one who breaks them. And sometimes, it’s a salaryman with a magical sparrow who really, really needs a quiet weekend.
