Best Anime Rap covers

Luffy & Zoro x PNL wins 55% of its duels and tops the Rap x Anime ranking ahead of Izuku x Lomepal.

Luffy & Zoro x PNL and Izuku x Lomepal share the same 1249 ELO rating, but rank 1 and 2 respectively based on their performance across 143 and 132 duels. The sharpest divide appears just below the podium: 15 ELO points separate Izuku x Lomepal from third-placed Doflamingo x Ninho, who scored 1234 ELO with a 56% win rate over 133 duels. This gap marks the clearest break in the upper tier. Pain x S.Pri Noir follows at rank 4 with 1229 ELO across 138 duels, while Goku & Vegeta x PNL rounds out the top five with 1222 ELO and a 51% win rate over 139 duels. At the opposite end, Kabuto x Alkpote sits at rank 21 with 1115 ELO points and a 39% win rate across 130 duels. Smoker x Fianso occupies rank 20 with 1119 ELO, and Giorno x Zola stands at rank 19 with 1133 ELO, signaling which collaborations struggle to convince voters.

This ranking emerges from 6263 duels judged by 104 players across 21 contenders, updated on 10 October 2026. Each anime-rap pairing reflects the taste of a community balancing reverence for iconic characters with the rhythmic pull of French rap. Whether Luffy & Zoro x PNL holds its lead or challengers like Izuku x Lomepal overtake it depends on further votes. Cast your judgment and shape the hierarchy.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
