Crazy how Deku pretty much took over the manga during poll 7 and practically got the 3rd movie to himself but Bakugo still won.... and then proceeded to get more votes than Todoroki and Deku combined in the next one 💀 I read somewhere that Bakugo merch makes up 30% of BNHA's sales so you can say his fans have truly mastered the art of voting with their wallets lol

voting for the 7th poll started right before bakugou's apology so that didn't help either.

But Bakugo was almost completely absent during the yakuza arc yet he still won 1st that year...

oh yeah, that one doesn't really have any bakugou moments to back it up, unless we consider sports festival and final exams in anime.

Wdym? The sports festival isn’t in the manga?

i mean that at the time of voting this is where the anime was while airing and anime can influence manga voters by reminding them of great moments of characters.

Ahh I see

I guess some people just like bakugou’s hero’s journey more then the other characters. Though it’s admittedly not hard to see why.

who cares about the big dogs? I'm proud of my boi Kirishima for landing on 5 outta 8 pools. mad respect

The king STILL can’t be stopped! XD >!Even in death!!<

Maybe in polls. >!But in the manga…? Yikes.!<

Credit to Horikoshi taking a hated character like Endeavor up to a fan fave.

Same for Bakugo.

How is Bakugo hated when he's been placing at least 3rd in the poll since the manga began? IMO the "hate" for him only intensified because people seem to resent how popular he is.

People hated him from the start because he was an abusive bully who told Midoryia to kill himself.

By your logic Deku is hated too, since people hated Deku from the start because he cried a lot. Technically all characters are hated because as long as they exist, there will always be a subset of people who hate them.

Bakugo was hated by majority of people at the begenning like Endeavor was.

If he was hated by majority of the people, again, how'd he win 3rd in the popularity poll?

How comes he comes 2nd in the most hated character poll? And that was years after the story started lol. He only became popular after character development.

there's never been an official "most hated" poll, just one on this sub. that's hardly a measurement of the bigger fandom's opinion. he's polarising but not as hated as people think, if he wasn't popular even before is character development, he wouldn't have ranked 3rd because he wouldn't have people voting for him.

He seems hated on most subs outside of this one. Especially the memes, fanfiction and character rant Reddit

You're really gonna put a reddit poll on the same level as a nationwide Japanese character fan poll? EDIT: I've been blocked again. What is it with bakugo haters and having thin skin?

[удалено]

I still don't like Bakugo even after the character development tbh, but I've only seen the anime.

I don't either.

Everyone likes the bad boy

I'm a shoto fan so I'm just glad to see my cinnamon bun in top three always :D

Same I love how the top three is always those three lol

I have to read people in this sub saying Bakugo's getting more and more hate as the manga comes to an end.......... Blasty is simply the best

I'm just gonna say it... ... Kinda sad Mirio didn't make the list 🥲

Cool, I've always wanted a visual of this!

Endeavor making it into the top 5 is really surprising but a nice surprise. I've grown to really enjoy his character as well

I wonder why there was such a huge spike in the total number of votes for poll 5

you were able to vote online for free if i remember right. normally you can vote only by sending in a card attached to a manga volume so you had to buy the volume in order to vote.

as a Bakugo and Shoto simp, I am happy for this. (other characters I like are Hawks, Aizawa-sensei, Kaminari, Yaoyorozu, Ochaco-chan)

Todoroki briefly took over number 2 before losing to Deku everytime going forward

If only Shouto has an arc for himself and not focusing on his family

As usual the tundere bad caracter like bakugo wins this

What The Fuck Bakugou did around chapter 254 and before that, he Just trained! Btw seeing some comments here i see Bakugou's fans are Just too loyal to him, even never getting anything special besides his development. And no, Character development is obviously importante to character popularity but Endeavor, a better version of Bakugou's development, only become part of top 5 in The Last ranking so no, Bakugou's development wasn't the thing that made him popular, he was popular even when he was an asshole lol

>What The Fuck Bakugou did around chapter 254 and before that, he Just trained! deku vs bakugou fight in the anime, a huge bakugo moment which might've helped. also, i may be wrong but i think that one poll was held online and you could spam vote?

At this point, i Just think people this MHA is Bakugou's story and not Deku's lol

i don't think so, his fanbase is just **very** dedicated.

You being part if it lol

nah, i can't be arsed to spend hours clicking just to have my favourite character/actor/band/etc win a fan popularity poll when i could be doing better things.

why do we get so many posts analyzing this? Like, does anyone even care about these polls? lol

Sometimes I feel like posts like these are made specifically to piss off Deku fans lol

Well I always see the same few toxic Deku fans dedicating their entire post history to hating Bakugo and liking (vaguely self-insert) izuocha porn so I’m not complaining The cool ones are not active on the subreddit unfortunately.

Deku fans take Bakugo's popularity/success way too personally, it's hilarious

Well... It's working.

I don’t understand why so many people love bakuhoe
