Today we're breaking down the top fifteen strongest Lookism characters.
Our list of the strongest Lookism is going to be a mixed breakdown of characters from the webcomic and the Netflix anime series.
I'll only be giving special treatment to one (or two) characters from the anime series so you guys can see where they would (or would not) fall on the list if you're strictly an anime viewer - but I'll make sure to make not of that within the breakdown.
Lookism came out of no where and exploded.
The requests for Lookism Inspired Workouts started coming in and never stopped; and we quickly had our Lookism Workout Database for you guys to go in and find all your favorite characters.

TOP FIFTEEN STRONGEST LOOKISM CHARACTERS
STRONGEST LOOKISM CHARACTERS
NUMBER FIFTEEN: JAY HONG
Coming in at number fifteen among our strongest Lookism characters is Jay Hong!
Jay Hong is the one character (although an argument could be made for another one or two characters) that would likely not have made the list if we were not giving him special treatment due to being in the new Netflix anime series.
Jay Hong happens to be one of the strongest characters in the series, so I made sure to add him to the list; which was one of the deciding factors when thinking about making this list a top ten or top fifteen strongest Lookism characters.

NUMBER FOURTEEN: ZACK LEE
Coming in at number fourteen on our list of the strongest Lookism character is Zack Lee.
Zack Lee is a character that likely would have made the list as long as we were having fifteen or more characters on it, but I'm sure some people could make a decent argument for him to not be included otherwise; so a spot at number fourteen is potentially being slightly generous to him.

STRONGEST LOOKISM CHARACTERS
NUMBER THIRTEEN: SAMUEL SEO
Next up, at number thirteen among our strongest Lookism character is Samuel Seo.
Samuel Seo is known as being an absolutely brutal fighter, his Fandom page explaining: "Samuel's fighting style reflects its owner's own savagery fuelled by inferiority. His style has been described by many as vicious and uncontrollable with liberal usage of weapons such as brass knuckles."
His fighting abilities are often said to be on par with Daniel Park and Jake Kim, but most lists have him around this slot, with Park slightly higher (spoiler alert).

NUMBER TWELVE: ELI JANG
At number twelve on our list of the strongest Lookism characters is Eli Jang.
It was almost unanimous among other lists that Jang comes in around the top eleven to thirteen aside from one list that was way off the others with Jang coming in within the top five.
I'm curious to see where you guys rank him. Do you think he's in the top five? Top ten? Or is this around the right placement in your opinion?

NUMBER ELEVEN: VASCO
Coming in at number eleven and just missing our top ten strongest Lookism characters is Vasco.
I would have loved to have Vasco hit the top ten being that I personally like Vasco a lot, but I just couldn't warrant pulling one of the other characters out of their slots.
The closest I came to giving him a top ten slot was switching him with our next character. Would you have switched them?

NUMBER TEN: DANIEL PARK
Starting our top ten strongest Lookism characters we have Daniel Park!
To be clear, we're talking about Daniel's original body, which has got stronger and stronger over time.
This is another questionable slot, but one that I personally thought was warranted, but he could easily be swapped with Vasco or even put higher up closer to the fifteen slot depending on what we're basing the power level on specifically.

STRONGEST LOOKISM CHARACTERS
NUMBER NINE: SINU HAN
At number nine among the strongest Lookism characters we have Sinu Han.
When his Fandom discusses his overall power level and how he compares to others they say this: "Sinu is very powerful, considering he managed to almost beat up Goo, surprising him for an attack and not giving Goo the chance fight back."
We'll see Goo further down the list and this placement for Sinu Han will make even more sense.

NUMBER EIGHT: JOHAN SEONG
At number eight, inching closer to the top five strongest Lookism characters, is Johan Seong.
I personally would have placed Seong lower on my list, closer to being within the ten to fifteen range, but most other lists seemed to think he was closer to the top five; and in attempt to have the most fair list (minus the anime bias that I point out), I decided to place him here and see what you guys think.
His Fandom page breaks down some of his abilities as follows: "Johan is a member of the fearsome Big 4 Crew and is the leader of one of its main 4 Crews, The God Dog Crew. Jace has stated that Johan, unlike the other crews, never needed a right-hand man or extra muscle to back him up. Johan's true potential was always held back because he did not want to cause trouble for his mom by fighting. However, he finally decided to reach his fighting potential in order to save his mom from being stoned to death during the Cult arc."

NUMBER SEVEN: TAESOO MA
Coming in at number seven on our list of thes strongest Lookism character is Taesoo Ma.
Taesoo Ma is another character that had nearly unanimous placement, which is the theme of the next handful of characters we'll see as we make our way down the list into the top five.
The crazy part of this placement is the fact that Taesoo Ma is untrained (as far as we know) in martial arts; his Wiki Fandom stating: "He does not appear to have learned any martial arts. His most notable quality in a fight used to be his use of only the right hand. His hand has earned him the title "King of Ansan". His right hand was so trained to the point that he was able to crack the forearm of the perfect body of Daniel, and, together with his left hand, able to break walls during his 2nd fight with James Lee."

NUMBER SIX: SENIOR MANAGER KIM
At number six, missing the top five strongest Lookism characters by one, is Senior Manager Kim!
Almost every list had him around the top five or six slot, aside from one that placed him even higher; though I personally agree with this placement here and likely would have had him here myself without any research.
Senior Manager Kim is a fun character that combines a handful of different fighting styles even including tactics learned in the military and police training.

STRONGEST LOOKISM CHARACTERS
NUMBER FIVE: UI DANIEL PARK
Coming in next and starting our top five strongest Lookism characters is Daniel Park!
This time we're talking about UI Daniel Park.
Some lists had him within top five like he is here, closer to four or five, and then one list was even bold enough to place him within the top three!
Where do you think UI Daniel Park belongs!?
To break this down even more, here's a large snippet from his Fandom that explains "UI" and his overall power level:
"Daniel's last trick is when he enters a state known as "ultra-instinct", in which he is rendered in a state between conscious and unconscious. He is able to maximize his fighting potential by utilizing every single move of his knowledge without hesitation. In this state he is so powerful that he is able to suppress Jerry Kwon and even able to break one of Gun's arms in their one-on-one fight. He was able to defeat 2 Crew Head (Jake Kim and Samuel Seo) simultaneously. He then proceeded to easily defeat Jerry Kwon and Lineman. After that, he completely dominated a raged Johan Seong in their fight. Although, he was not able to defeat Goo because he suddenly passed out, he still inflicted a huge damage on him. The downside of this state is that he is unable to control himself, making it difficult to discern between friends and foes."

NUMBER FOUR: GOO KIM
Coming in within our top five strongest Lookism character, just missing the top three, is Goo Kim!
Remember when I told you to wait until you see Goo's placement to make more sense of Sinu Han's placement!?
Well here we are; and now it's probably making more sense (if it didn't already).
Goo is another character that had unanimous placement within the top five strongest Lookism characters among almost every single list; and this one seems to be perfectly clear.
Here's what his Fandom shares, just in case you don't believe in Goo:
"He is one of the best fighters in the PTJ-verse. While not much is known about his overall skills we know that he must be a fighter of unparalleled might given him having an equal footing to Jong Gun."

STRONGEST LOOKISM CHARACTERS
NUMBER THREE: TOM LEE
Starting off our top three strongest Lookism characters is Tom Lee!
Tom Lee is absolutely massive and has been placed in the top three, sometimes even the top two, on every single list I looked at.
I would have personally had him at top three, which is why I didn't lean towards putting him ahead of our number two slot; but I'm curious what you think.
Do you thin Tom Lee comes in ahead of our next Lookism character?

STRONGEST LOOKISM CHARACTERS
NUMBER TWO: GUN PARK
Just missing our top slot and coming in at number two among our strongest Lookism characters is Gun Park.
Gun is another character that was unanimously put within the top three fighters, and you can see that even when breaking down Jun Goo's power level the basis that we hold him at is up against where we think he compares to Gun.
That said, only one list had Gun as the strongest Lookism character, with every other list being unanimous with our next character...
Gun Park at SHJ:
STRONGEST LOOKISM CHARACTERS
NUMBER ONE: DG | JAMES LEE
Coming in as the strongest Lookism character is DG | James Lee!
DG, as I mentioned above, had unanimous placement at the number one strongest Lookism character on every list I looked at for prelim research, aside from ONE placing him just behind Gun at number two.
Here's what his Fandom has to say about it: "As the legend of the first generation, DG is immensely powerful and is one of the strongest fighters in the PTJ verse, sometimes it says he is the strongest."

– Hudson Ahn
– Xiaolung
– Olly Wang
– Jerry Kwon
Forgot to add little Daniel, but based on the last arc, I’d say he’s around 11-13. It’s quite based on your list, but adding some other characters who had good feats but went unmentioned.
Awesome ! Thanks for the addition here. That definitely makes the article that much better for people to be able to come down here and check out this variation as well.
The list could have been so much better it was in a weird place I think this list was created in the midst of the Hunt for Big Deal Arc, which means that we didn’t see enough of OG Daniel, Zack, and Vasco, I really don’t like UI Daniel being below Gun and Goo, he was pre-injured against Gun and still was winning in the short time he had, and against Goo he was drugged and had his time expended on Johan, Samuel, and Big Deal yet he still managed to break Goo’s arm, nearly kill him (stated by Goo himself), and dodge every single attack until after he has already fallen unconscious due to the drugs in his system since the fight started.
Hey! I explain some of these placements are from the compilation of lists to make it based on my own combined with tons of others – which is why I take comments into consideration as well (especially with as much explanation as yours!).
Can you share your top 15 + honorable mentions like Vin did above?! 🙂
Six months later, your list makes no sense now. Update needed.
Ui Daniel Pfeffer than Gun & Goo. (My Opinion)
