[Power Bottom]

Very interesting.

 

[Koro]

I was going to make a thread like this in a few days xD

You should add a poll with the most recent characters and name it "Character Popularity Poll 8" or just "Popularity Poll 8".

 

[Yasopp]

I like how Itachi gets higher and higher in the poll huehueheue

 

[Agumon]

My bae Gaara is no.7 the whole time :x3:

Well, all of these polls shown include every official one released by Shonen Jump in Japan. I'd prefer this thread to stay "official" and not have a poll that's fanmade or by fans on NB.

@bold-That's a good idea and you were the one who came up with it. You should do it.

 

[SkyGodHorus]

So why the hell don't they do popularity polls anymore? And why does Kishimoto no longer release databooks?

 

[Chie]

I have no idea. They used to do them yearly (by looking at the first 5) but then did them less often. That last one was released in 2011. And the 3rd databook was released in 2008. Maybe Kishimoto just doesn't care anymore? Or doesn't see the need for them?

 

[Korowa]

Nice job Chie. U_U

 

[Parrish]

Iruka is a embarrassment, and should not be listed anywhere near the top 5.

 

[MinaButt]

Its funny how characters the west doesn't give 2 shits about are popular in japan.

 

[Chie]

Iruka is a embarrassment, and should not be listed anywhere near the top 5.

He's very popular in Japan because he was the first person to reach out to Naruto. People there only hold him in high regard due to that.

I assumed so, but that's beside the point.

 

[Haloguy2710]

Kakashi, Sasuke & Naruto pretty much dominate these

 

[-Spoiler-]

I remember the last one then the anime team made the Omake where Sakura accused Hinata of trying to steal the Main female spot from herLol

Yeah besides those three the others have very little votes & it shows people really don't care for .

 

[The Work]

Poor Shino

lel. You'd think Pein would be in the top ten at least once, but I guess he's not as popular in Japan and neither is Tobi.

Kakashi, Sasuke & Naruto pretty much dominate these

Because they're the mains and people always tend to use the one vote they have on one of them. U_U

Yeah besides those three the others have very little votes & it shows people really don't care for .

@bold- Not necessarily. In these polls people only have one vote, so most tend to vote for a main in hopes that their fav out of those 3 will win. People still care for other characters besides Kakashi, Naruto, and Sasuke. If you look at the polls, Gaara and Itachi are in every one after their initial appearances and score pretty well for side characters. Deidara even beat Naruto in poll 6 and Minato with very limited mention (all polls by Shonen Jump for this series were released in 2011 and back) is still on them.
