Steins;Gate character rankings based on peak canonical power.

Steins;Gate Power Tier List

  1. 1

    Rintaro Okabe

    The only person with Reading Steiner — the ability to retain memories across worldline changes. Without it, time travel would be meaningless.

    Reading Steiner
  2. 2

    Kurisu Makise

    18-year-old genius neuroscientist who independently developed time travel theory. The emotional core of the entire story.

    Scientific Genius
  3. 3

    Maho Hiyajo

    Kurisu's colleague in Steins;Gate 0. Carries the weight of working with an AI based on Kurisu's memories.

    AI Research / Amadeus
  4. 4

    Mayuri Shiina

    Okabe's childhood friend. Her death becomes the catalyst for the entire second half.

    Innocence / Time Anchor
  5. 5

    Itaru Hashida (Daru)

    Super hacker. Builds every piece of technical infrastructure the lab needs.

    Hacking / Engineering
  6. 6

    Suzuha Amane

    Time traveler from 2036. Daughter of Daru. Carries the weight of a future she's desperately trying to prevent.

    Soldier / Time Machine
  7. 7

    Moeka Kiryuu

    SERN agent. Defines herself entirely by her phone. Her arc is one of the show's most heartbreaking.

    SERN / Tragedy
  8. 8

    Ruka Urushibara

    The most gentle character in the cast. Their wish-change arc is quietly devastating.

    None / Heart
  9. 9

    Faris NyanNyan

    Café owner with more stakes in the past than she initially shows.

    None
  10. 10

    Mr. Braun / Yuugo Tennouji
