After last night Widow, belongs is definitely belongs in SS tier.
Regular Pilgrim should be S tier as well.

And his Powered up Gift version should above all in SS tier.

Curious to see how his match with The Master is going to turn out.

Both Sunny and Quinn bested her in 1v1 and quite decisively. Where as Quinn was the only person without the gift to go the distance with Sunny. I’d say Moon, Widow. And Pilgrim should share a tier. Now gifted Widow? Yes she is pretty much SS tier.

She already looks pretty gifted to me :wink:

If we were going by S1 tiers I’d definitely put The Widow below Quinn and Sunny, but like I said times have changed. Although Sunny was recently injured, The Widow still displayed a level of control in their fight that she hasn’t displayed before.

Regarding Pilgrim, I’m reserving judgment for next week as the list I constructed is based on current events. If he can get a solid blow in or by some miracle actually go toe to toe with The Master I might actually put him in his own tier. Right now he just seems like living reservoir siphoning the Gift from his huge reserves rather than someone who can fully manipulate it like The Master can. This makes for quite the interesting confrontation.

I also have a theory that…

Summary

M.K. or his gifted bloodline are the ones truly destined to house the The Gift, not Pilgrim. I believe Pilgrim was conned by the priestess as a kid into believing his destiny and eventually realized the truth but still followed along having no real direction in life. This is why Pilgrim is always doubting himself and seeking reassurance from his enabling priestess. It also explains why he saw potential in M.K., because he’s been shown in the series clearly operating on another power level with his gift (e.g., he actually broke The Master’s arm even though she blocked his punch, and was visibly surprised at his power).

I’m just patiently waiting until Sunny obtains his gift back as well, because the very fact that he can even contend with Gifted Fighters is already ridiculous. However since Sunny has been sealed, I’m just curious if his potential is actually the highest within the story.

Two Handed Moons in my opinion is at least on par with Quinn, simply for the fact that one could argue that before Sunny peaked, Moons would’ve been the Baddest Clipper until he left and Sunny rose into peak form.

The tier list is pretty much spot on and I agree that Widow is now deserving of the S-Tier spot only because as of late she’s actually ascended since her time with The Master.

Since Pilgrim is the ā€œAntagonistā€ now I’m assuming he’s going to have some crazy Hax Capabilities that are going to make him otherworldy as well.

The Master is doing some straight up Matrix Level bs in the real world, and I’m only guessing, but I’m assuming once Sunny taps into his full strength, he’s probably going to become the most broken character within the storyline.

Pilgrim is gonna get his ass waxed. Master somehow took on all those disciples with x factor popped and came out on top and now she’s dropping crazy ass powers we didn’t even think were possible. She probably has more shot that we havent seen yet. Add to that the fect that while pilgrim is good he JUST got the gift. He might land a few blows on her if he gets lucky but if she doesn’t wax his ass I’ll be surprised. I’m better Pilgrim will have MK assist and it still won’t matter.

I wouldn’t be so sure. I would probably liken their fight to MCU Dr. Strange vs Hulk. Sure Dr.Strange is more skillful and intelligent with an assortment of spells, but all it takes is for the Hulk to get one good hit in and things can go downhill really quickly.

I don’t think Pilgrim turned into a just a standard Gifted user, I think he’s a supercharged Broly version who hasn’t yet been pushed into an using an overflow of this mysterious dark energy. The Master might push him into Unbridled Negro Strength territory and if she’s caught off guard it might spell trouble.

Me when Widow finally killed that psycho bitch Chau:

Me when that asshole killed Bajie:

Sunny/Sanzo is going to unleash the beast eventually on Magnus. I hope this asshole dies slow.

And just like I thought Pilgrim managed to get the best of The Master, at least, for now…

BTW, did anyone notice how OP M.K. was even against other the other Gifted disciples?

Thats the thing i dont get… i’m chalking it up to plot device/armor. The master should be able to wash Pilgrim normally even without the gift… she has more experience. Pilgrim made her look like a glass cannon.
M.K. vs the other disciples… they seemed cannon fodder and were going for restraint rather than kill… unlike M.K.

This for our boy

That is great, however for me personally, this is what I felt like when Rufus was lost to us…:cry::cry::sob::sob:

If Rufus can go, than from here on out we shouldn’t be surprised if their is potential for some crazy Game of Thrones level of people falling over.

Honestly, if Sunny somehow dies at the end, and MK lives, I’m going to get my pitch fork ready.

M.K. has Sasuke plot armor???

In a way the story was always about M.K., Sunny is just a guy meant to usher in a new age by both destroying the old order and preventing a second apocalypse so M.K.'s generation can live in a less shitty world.

UWASHAAAAWK!!!

I’m 80% certain M.K. is going to live or at the very least do something self-sacrificial on the way out. I hope Sunny lives because the show already has too many orphans, and Henry doesn’t need to be one of them.
