Thread 281629099

Top most popular Shonen Jump characters according to Japanese fans (2024):
>1st place-Goku (Dragon Ball)
>2nd place-Luffy (One Piece)
>3rd place-Tanjiro (Demon Slayer)
>4th place-(tied) Kankichi Ryotsu (KochiKame), Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)
>5th place-Izuku Midoriya (My Hero Academia)
>6th place-Gintoki Sakata (Gintama)
>7th place-(tied) Hanamichi Sakuragi (Slam Dunk), Himura Kenshin (Rurouni Kenshin)
>8th place-(tied) Gon Freecss (Hunter x Hunter), Yusuke Urameshi (Yu Yu Hakusho), Joseph Joestar and Jotaro Kujo (JoJo's BizarreAdventure), Hinata Shoyo (Haikyu!)
For all the talk about One Piece being more popular now, Goku still beats Luffy in popularity to this day, I'm kinda impressed by the fact that Kenshin managed to beat Gon, Yusuke,Joseph and Jotaro

but why though

>>281629099 (OP)
Sorry to ruin the party, but I cannot stand Gon Freecss. He is the so-called "good person", but he is morally challenged to say the least. The worst thing he did was to Pitou. I miss Pitou so much and it is all Gon's fault. I passionate hate him. As much as I love Pitou, I hate Gon

Japs love Kenshin

HxH insist upon itself

One Piss is only popular in Japan.

really to have that many ties you would really need to have a very small number of people voting.

Gojo jobbed again?

>>281629099 (OP)
I believe nezuko is way more popular than tanjiro

yup Yup YUP.
He really is that popular, admired and beloved.
No wonder we all call him OUR HERO.
Our inspiration.
Our role model.
The man who has never known defeat...
Women and gays want to be with him.
Everyone else wants to be him.
God! how can such an amazing character exist bros?

>>281630332
Me too

Between DDD being called a feminist show and CSMfags saying that Fumiko is the representation for women that suffer sexual violence accross the globe, you can just put out the most fetishistic stuff in Jump and they will call it deep

Everyone like Bleach but forgot Shaman King…

>>281629099 (OP)
If they replaced Ichigo as an option with Hitsugaya he'd be up there. Nips obsessed over him.

Is there going to be leaks today?

>>281629099 (OP)
I'm surprised that Joseph tied with Jotaro amongst Japanese fans. Jotaro used to be the more popular one with them by a landslide.

This post basically invalidated this thread.

You'd have a more accurate understanding of who people like if you did a poll here.

Gintoki is always much higher in other polls. Top 3-4 I’ve always seen in other lists are Goku, Luffy, Naruto and Gin in some order

Jotaro has a personality of a rock, don't know how Josuke isn't more famous.

>pitou
worthless evil bug

Jotaro was expected as the mascot of the franchise but fucking based that Joseph is tied to him

>>281639065
he improves after his own part by a lot
being a foil made him more interesting

japs might live in a sexist society but they don't have a cringe macho complex like westerners, so sweet boys can prosper

Except deku is functionally a woman.
