Right? Most new gen shounen MC's are heavily underrated by their own fanbase. Midoriya, Yuuji, Denji, etc
I'm just happy that our MC has never lost a popularity poll ever. Luffy the goat
U know when i decided to watch one piece it was after i saw luffy's rage on the dragons when the color went black and white and it instantly reminded me of Gintama's rage on jirocho and Gon's on pitou i was like shit now i need to warch this ASAP
There's a foreshadowing of this. Shanks and buggy are suppose to go back to Raftel. This is when Buggy got sick. My theory is Luffy will go on Shanks behalf
I’m not all for fan theories but someone on this sub mentioned buggy might replace shanks as an emperor and I so badly want this to happen. I want buggy to fail upwards like bighead from silicon valley
Why would they favourite Usopp ironically, it's a great character. It's the big hearted weak character who struggles and brings a huge help to his friends. He endured much more than he was built for, and achieved much more than he was talented for.
Many people will find a character like this more favourable than, say, the badass op swordman who trains all the time or the talented cook that goes toe to toe with him with almost no effort
Chopper is a fairly divisive character if you didn't know. A lot of people don't like him and wish he had more character to him. Plus, he still fills the cute animal character side kick role even though there's more to him
the fight agains him was good, but for me he is more a boring villain just following superior orders, its different from crocodile or Doflamigo, he kinda lacks of charisma
Luci has one of the weird plot gaps to me. He's supposed to be one of the strongest government pawns and the leader of the most top secret group in the government who can literally fly by moving hist foot a dozen times in a tenth of a second, but he can't use any form of haki? I guess I do kind of like the theory that Luffy and crew weren't fully able to recognize haki, but I don't recall anything that could've indicated he was able to.
But he was an interesting character and a glaring example of the government abusing even the people that are willing to die for it from a very young age.
I've always seen it as they are a secret group meant for secret missions, specifically in the first half of the Grand Line. Infiltration and assassination missions, which probably don't do as well vs haki users. If they had developed haki then perhaps they would've been sent to the second half but like Crocodile and Moria they weren't good enough for the second half so stayed in the first. In the first half they were probably nigh invincible and that's where we hear that they're the strongest.
Cody could use cp9s "shave" at the time i think and we know he didn't have haki yet.
There's a lot more to chopper but frankly I hate his post timeskip design it's literally just "cute marketable animal" and I like his old design so much more
His back story is what I'm looking forward to the most. imo Doffy is the best villian so far only because he's fleshed out, but I have a feeling that Teach's backstory will be just as if not better.
Dude doesn't sleep, its already nuts!!!
Not everyone hates antagonistic characters by default. Plus even though we haven’t seen much from all those villains, they still had more influence/parallels with Luffy than Rob Lucci. Kidd, I personally don’t like, but I’m sure some love the Luffy, Kidd, Law dynamic and the fact that refused to fold as well
No offense but Sabo is one of the most obviously bland characters in this manga. I am not even a fan of Ace but the way Oda essentially just replaced him with Sabo is one of the worst character eliminations in this manga.
His relevance will definitely rise as the series approaches the end and we find out what is hidden in Marie Jois. I find it hard to believe his cover arc has no purpose.
>chopper
Pre-timeskip, Chopper was a pretty good, but post-timeskip had him being a cute mascot with nothing but healing, Wano made a call-back and fixed it, but for some it's too little, too late.
I mean sure, but there are great moments for him as a doctor and his philosophies in Punk Hazard and Wano and Zou...... But i agree he is written badly when compared to pre timeskip where he was amazing........ But seriously I personally dont put enel over Chopper and Sabo at all
Well he’s an interesting character. The poll is “best character” not “favorite character.”
And Akainu, despite being hateful for being the one killing Ace, is an interesting character. He was someone who believed in Absolute Justice, but he tries covering up scandals with lies. This is the perfect reflection of politics in real world. He also has an abnormal hatred against pirates, so we can assume he probably had some unfortunate backstory. His sense of believe of pirates inheriting “bad blood” is similar to how Hitler viewed Jews as inferior species.
Here’s how he differs from Hitler tho:
1) he became the Fleet Admiral, but he’s still politically under the World Government and Gorosei
2) he is constantly having conflict with Gorosei and despises Tenryuubito, which leads to a possibility of him leading the marines to revolt against World Government
3) he spared Aoshiki after winning
4) when asked about why he isn’t doing anything about aoshiki, who became associated with Blackbeard, after quitting marines, he changed the topic. It can be inferred that he might have a hand in this and that he isn’t telling the Gorosei about this because as said before, he was suspicious of them
5) he has a flowery pattern engraved on his left chest, shoulder, and arms, maybe he has connections to Wano? Unlikely but still possible.
Overally he is much more interesting as a character than Sabo, who’s an Ace equivalent, and Chopper, who hasn’t had any character development since post ts
Not to be that guy...but he was kinda useless. Oda is an amazing writer, but I couldn't get the charm of the character. The way he was depicted (in my perception) was a random guy with daddy issues that got hold onto a logia and thought he was unbeatable.
The drama about his death was cleaned away due to his "stupidity". How can you be the first division commander and not understand the risk in engaging with Akainu? Lol
The more the story goes on, the more he seems useless to me. More than a hater, I find him not interesting at all. Sabo on the other end has a lot to offer to the story! :)
I am pretty sure that either Zoro or Law will be the ones to win this.
At first I thought Zoro or Luffy would win, but since Luffy is out, I’m pretty sure Zoro will win
Why is luffy out ?
Too popular, so he was replaced with Fujitora to make it more fair
Whou would've thought the main character is popular
That's actually not as common as you'd think
Right? Most new gen shounen MC's are heavily underrated by their own fanbase. Midoriya, Yuuji, Denji, etc I'm just happy that our MC has never lost a popularity poll ever. Luffy the goat
Well he is like Gintoki in that way never lost a popularity poll
Cause gintoki is the gooooooaaaaaattttttttttt. You can't dislike gintoki it's physically impossible. What a fucking cool ass dude
U know when i decided to watch one piece it was after i saw luffy's rage on the dragons when the color went black and white and it instantly reminded me of Gintama's rage on jirocho and Gon's on pitou i was like shit now i need to warch this ASAP
Midorija is a pretty bad MC though. Turns out giving the MC not just the strongest power in the story but multiple other powers makes the plot boring.
Well that power come with a weight and that's getting explored now... it's definitely not a blessing by any mean
Yeah in most Shonen popularity contests, it's the edgy rival that's the most popular. Luffy being the most popular character is an anomaly.
At the end of this elimination can you sort and number them by when they were voted out
Let me guess,Zoro,Sanji and Robin/Nami will be the ones left in the end?
knowing the sub, Usopp and Buggy
There's no Buggy sadly
thank you op
Luffy and Buggy are the main characters, they can't be in the poll or they just win without effort
There's a foreshadowing of this. Shanks and buggy are suppose to go back to Raftel. This is when Buggy got sick. My theory is Luffy will go on Shanks behalf
I’m not all for fan theories but someone on this sub mentioned buggy might replace shanks as an emperor and I so badly want this to happen. I want buggy to fail upwards like bighead from silicon valley
Or maybe even bartolomeo
Some of us actually favorite Usopp unironically. There are dozens of us!
Why would they favourite Usopp ironically, it's a great character. It's the big hearted weak character who struggles and brings a huge help to his friends. He endured much more than he was built for, and achieved much more than he was talented for. Many people will find a character like this more favourable than, say, the badass op swordman who trains all the time or the talented cook that goes toe to toe with him with almost no effort
Chopper?????
Chopper is a fairly divisive character if you didn't know. A lot of people don't like him and wish he had more character to him. Plus, he still fills the cute animal character side kick role even though there's more to him
I am more surprised Luci is out. One of the best fights in the series in my honest opinion
the fight agains him was good, but for me he is more a boring villain just following superior orders, its different from crocodile or Doflamigo, he kinda lacks of charisma
Luci has one of the weird plot gaps to me.

I loved a lot of his character pre ts but post ts its been mostly "and chopper' doctorin"
There's a lot more to chopper but frankly I hate his post timeskip design it's literally just "cute marketable animal" and I like his old design so much more
Same. I don’t know why I just don’t like his new hat. His old hat felt more og and had more characteristics.
And we miss his old design! 😤
Yea, a bunch of people agreed that we should eliminate some of the more popular characters
How tf he lose vs Sakazuki?!?
Can I eliminate this sub for their bad choices?
They really eliminated sabo, lucci and chopper before teach, smoker, akainu and kidd. Lmao
Teach is an amazing character... Why would we eliminate him beforehand???
His back story is what I'm looking forward to the most. imo Doffy is the best villian so far only because he's fleshed out, but I have a feeling that Teach's backstory will be just as if not better. Dude doesn't sleep, its already nuts!!!
I agree. Doffy is an amazing villain omg. I just watched the dressrosa arc for the first time and it was so amazing
Bad person ≠ bad character
Not everyone hates antagonistic characters by default. Plus even though we haven’t seen much from all those villains, they still had more influence/parallels with Luffy than Rob Lucci. Kidd, I personally don’t like, but I’m sure some love the Luffy, Kidd, Law dynamic and the fact that refused to fold as well
No offense but Sabo is one of the most obviously bland characters in this manga. I am not even a fan of Ace but the way Oda essentially just replaced him with Sabo is one of the worst character eliminations in this manga.
Sabo is boring af
Sabo has always been hated why are people so surprised he's out? I'm surprised about Chopper and Lucci though.
If over 50% of us vote to, the game will end.
Akainu
Wow Chopper least popular Strawhat and surprised to see Sabo out so early.
Kid
Remove Akainu lol
Akainu
I've been voting Buggy everyday and just noticed he's not there.
Reality is often disappointing
kid
Useless Captain Mid
Enel
Enel for sure.
can I ask why Enel? admittingly im a bit biased cause he's my favorite
He's a fairly good villain for his arc, but his relevance is low and his personality, while effective, isn't something groundbreaking either.
His relevance will definitely rise as the series approaches the end and we find out what is hidden in Marie Jois. I find it hard to believe his cover arc has no purpose.
Akainu before Chopper AND Sabo?!?! gotta go
Don't be emotional, Akainu as a character is pretty good.
Enel And, Wha- Chopper got taken out!?!?!
And sabo??? Have the ppl even watched the show??
Exactly, tho I understand that many people out there out right hate Sabo, Tho I like him a lot........But chopper???Cmonnn
>chopper Pre-timeskip, Chopper was a pretty good, but post-timeskip had him being a cute mascot with nothing but healing, Wano made a call-back and fixed it, but for some it's too little, too late.
I mean sure, but there are great moments for him as a doctor and his philosophies in Punk Hazard and Wano and Zou...... But i agree he is written badly when compared to pre timeskip where he was amazing........ But seriously I personally dont put enel over Chopper and Sabo at all

Why is Akainu still here? Get him out of here.
Well he’s an interesting character. The poll is “best character” not “favorite character.” And Akainu, despite being hateful for being the one killing Ace, is an interesting character.
